Chapter 528: Chapter 408 Local Plan_1

"Don’t look now; he won’t weaken in such an environment, on the contrary, he will become even stronger," Ming Yue said with a headache. Once Zheng Yichen had taken advantage of the flesh carpet that covered the ground, she knew that what followed wouldn’t be so simple.

They might even... lose.

The likelihood of a complete loss wasn’t so high; the Great World now had new technology, and the issues that the Boundary Breakers encountered weren’t something they could only passively endure as before.

"This is still better than him directly sucking blood. The insects have been almost fully adjusted. Let’s test his state first," another Boundary Breaker said. They had discovered Zheng Yichen from the moment he appeared. Since the Great World had intelligence on Zheng Yichen, they had started to adjust some insects continuously after his emergence.

They reduced the blood quality of those insects and then made it so the insects could battle without needing blood. They had adjusted the body structure of the insects, making their bodies resemble robots.

And the fuel acting as the energy source came from the extraordinary nutrients synthesized from the flesh carpet.

"Let’s try it," Ming Yue nodded. She looked again in the direction of Zheng Yichen. The surveillance methods they were using this time weren’t the same as those at the beginning.

Monitoring methods that were too close would be detected by Zheng Yichen, who now relied on mist for surveillance. As long as Zheng Yichen was within this moving anomaly, he couldn’t escape their monitoring.

As for the environment of this anomaly, it was on par with the outside world, and it even had some imbalances brought about by the Devouring Sky Pillar. Non-allied entities in this area would continuously weaken.

The breathing function of the flesh carpet drew nutrients from the earth, sapping the strength of the environment, making it more barren. Those in this environment would lose body heat very quickly, similar to drowning people.

The sound of something rushing approached, Zheng Yichen, who had just demolished a bug nest, looked around. His thermal vision saw a large number of extraordinary creatures approaching, what puzzled him was that the heat source of these creatures wasn’t intense.

Yet, the commotion they made when rushing didn’t seem like one that would come from creatures with weak heat sources. As soon as an insect with a shell-covered body entered Zheng Yichen’s view, its body was pierced by a black long spear; after a look of surprise, Zheng Yichen flung it away.

When it landed in the pile of bugs, the insect exploded, setting the surrounding creatures ablaze with a phosphorescent green flame.

Looking at the little dark red liquid left on his long spear, Zheng Yichen frowned. The new passive ability he had just obtained, the one about temporarily increasing strength after sucking blood, was now facing these obviously tailor-made insects for him.

The body fluids flowing through these insects were the same nutrients as the flesh carpet, they were even diluted. That stuff wasn’t blood, making his extraordinary abilities useless.

Moreover, the diluted extraordinary nutrients had poison in them. When they came into contact with the air, they hissed and emitted a burnt smell of barbecued meat.

"Artificially modified creatures, truly disgusting."

A flames began to burn on the long spear in Zheng Yichen’s hand, and a firestorm spread out from him in all directions. His current fighting style was more like that of a Mage, even if his weapons were related to a warrior. However, his weapons didn’t have the split attack feature, so he preferred to use a method similar to a Mage’s for the swarms of enemies.

The firestorm directly turned approaching insects into charred remains, not even capable of breaking through the blockade. Occasionally, some large insects would come close, but as soon as they broke through the flame, Zheng Yichen’s spear would blow their heads off.

Outside the moving anomaly, the local warriors guarding the frontline felt the pressure diminishing, the frontline commander quickly realized something worse was happening. "Worse things are about to happen."

The insects were no longer running out of the moving anomaly, the implication was clear, the insects wouldn’t just disappear but change their target. Once the Proxy Agent had charged in, the insects probably concentrated on dealing with him.

And according to some devices they used to detect inside the moving anomaly, powerful attacks entering the anomaly resulted in rapidly dissipating energy. Even if the power level was high, clearing a large area of insects, the dissipating energy would catalyze the emergence of even more insects.

The bionic soldiers produced with bionic technology and sent into the moving anomaly were also useless. As long as they stepped on that layer of flesh carpet, the bionic soldiers would quickly lose their ability to fight. Ordinary people stepping on it would become mummified in less than ten seconds.

The insects on the carpet could get enough nutrients to grow and evolve, even a cannon fodder insect could turn into a gigantic creature hundreds of meters tall.

Now that the insects had changed their target, the Proxy Agent was fighting alone inside, and they could only watch from here, unable to retreat. If they did, more insects could potentially emerge from the moving anomaly.

"A meeting!"

They needed to have a war conference to discuss how to support the Proxy Agent and how their research would have to shift greatly in the future to combat the ’energy vacuum’ environments!

Whether it be this moving anomaly or the vacuum caused by environmental imbalances, it was crippling their world’s people, or rather, this problem was essentially applicable to any world.
