Wasteland for All: I Can Infinitely Upgrade My Vault
Chapter 42 The Last Darkness Before Dawn
Unlike the noisy cuckoo, Zhong Li clenched his fists and remained silent.
At this point, any words would be superfluous. He was certain of one thing: from this moment on, he and Red Eclipse were mortal enemies.
At this moment, he deeply understood why Huo Wu had said that a mortal feud could not be resolved.
Having witnessed firsthand how your closest loved ones are relentlessly besieged and driven to despair, despair is like a noose tightening around your neck, inch by inch, until it finally kills everyone you care about most, leaving no trace.
Hatred can only be repaid with blood!
The grenade from Eagle Industries exploded beneath the protective wall, and the resulting red-corroded fungal carpet, resembling living flesh and blood, continued to writhe and multiply.
After being able to easily wipe out the soldiers in their territory, the besieging Red Eclipse monsters were no longer in a hurry to attack. They slowly withdrew from the fire set by the Molotov cocktails and, like a pack of wolves, surrounded a patch of writhing, bulging flesh.
The durian heron, hands on its hips, laughed triumphantly: "Haha! They must have been scared by my voice, so they retreated."
Fire Dance, her hands gripping her longsword, leaned against the cold surface of the protective wall, her weariness barely concealed. "They're not afraid; they're prioritizing the protection of the soon-to-be-born Devourer swarm. According to the records of the nuns who accompanied the army, protecting the soon-to-be-born Devourer swarm is their top priority. Just like the Zerg prioritize protecting the Zerg Queen and the Hive."
Liu Lu's smile froze. As a knight, she didn't know much about the church's scriptures, but after hearing Huo Wu's description, she could deeply feel the oppressive feeling brought by the Red Eclipse.
"Isn't the Red Eclipse far more troublesome than the Zerg? The Zerg can't reproduce without a Queen, and decapitation strikes are very effective against them. But if there are enough Red Eclipse creatures, they can create a Zerg hive-like entity on their own."
Suzaku paused for a moment, then looked at the enormous blood sphere in the distance, which had rapidly expanded to over thirty meters tall, surpassing even the shelter's protective wall. His gaze was resolute: "Therefore, we must kill this Corruption Cluster. Currently, since there are no Corruption Clusters nearby, the monsters that have been generated are relatively low-level, all bio-transformed from the Crimson Moon's corruption. Once the Corruption Cluster is born, it will devour the surrounding monsters, producing even more powerful Crimson Corruption monsters."
Hongluan frowned slightly. She would rather die in battle than allow any monster to threaten her territory! "Can't we strike first and nip the Devouring Spirit swarm in the bud during its formation?"
Huo Wu silently shook her head. Facing Hong Luan's expectant gaze, she lowered her head and said in a weak voice, "The Red Corrosion Fungus has already formed. Even if we blow up this disgusting hatching egg, the splattered flesh and blood will be absorbed by the Red Corrosion Fungus, and a new hatching egg will be generated soon."
The Red Corrosion Fungal Creep is the foundation of the monster; there's no way to destroy it, and any attempt to interrupt it is futile.
Hongluan's bright eyes gradually dimmed as Huowu spoke. She simply gripped the bladed explosive gun tightly and remained silent.
The Red Corrosion Creep may need to devour a large amount of flesh and blood to transform into its form, so the monsters swarmed into the hatching eggs, using their own flesh and blood as nourishment to hatch this Corrosion Cluster.
The addition of hundreds of monsters greatly accelerated its incubation process. At the same time, it acted like a super signal transmitter, causing a large number of monsters to receive information from the Red Erosion Sympathetic Network and rush here in a frenzy, eager to taste the alluring flavor of blood.
The roars of monsters grew more frequent and terrifying in the darkness, as if they were a collection of all the monsters from human nightmares, manifested around the shelter.
The number of crimson monsters surrounding the shelter did not decrease; instead, it increased further, with at least three hundred more pairs of blood-red eyes appearing in the darkness.
At this number, it doesn't matter whether the Eclipse Cluster has been generated or not; the soldiers in the shelter no longer have the strength to fight for that long.
One monster after another rushed into the hatching egg with a frenzied, self-sacrificing frenzy, merging their flesh and blood into the swarm of Devouring Thoughts, which greatly accelerated the hatching process.
The hatching egg, covered with grotesque blood vessels, began to crack open from the top, revealing the deep red mucus inside. Accompanied by a series of chilling hissing sounds, the crack continued to widen.
The gruesome scene caused everyone to stop talking, staring wide-eyed and holding their breath at the center of the hatching egg.
A chilling, eerie, and terrifying atmosphere enveloped Zhong Li's entire body. He felt a coldness rush up his spine to his brain, freezing his ability to think.
Under the tense and terrified gazes of everyone, the cracks in the hatching egg grew wider and more numerous. Finally, with a deafening roar, the hatching egg completely exploded, and a powerful gust of air, carrying a thick stench and the smell of corpses, instantly swept through the entire shelter!
Then, from the remains of the hatched eggs, a huge and deformed figure slowly crawled up.
That's right! It climbed up! For some reason, Zhongli had a strong feeling at this moment, as if a monster from the abyss had climbed up from hell, about to devour human life with its countless mouths and mandibles.
Zhong Li glanced at the monster and felt as if an invisible force was pressing down on his chest, making it impossible to breathe. It was like being in the epicenter of nuclear radiation, every inch of his skin, every nerve, suffering an indescribable assault. His body trembled uncontrollably, his eyes filled with terror and disbelief.
The monster was pieced together from countless fragments of flesh and blood, not only a bloody mess but also covered in mouths and teeth, emitting a nauseating stench. Its existence was like an extreme desecration of life and nature, making it impossible to look at directly.
The courage attribute determines a person's mental will. The huge difference in this attribute has an effect similar to pressure and mental pollution, which has brought Zhongli's spirit to the brink of collapse. With his last bit of strength, he bit his tongue and forced himself to open the monster's attribute panel.
[Due to the significant difference in your combat power compared to your opponent, you have only been able to detect 23% of their attribute panel.]

Zhongli couldn't even see the details of its attribute panel. With his mental willpower, he could only read the first two items before he was too exhausted to continue and collapsed helplessly in the ruins.
At that moment, he had only one thought left: Run! Run! Everyone run as far away as possible, and never come back! Don't rush in and die in vain!
