Chapter 818: Chapter 481: Fall Back

With the death of the Plague Horror, the greatest threat was eliminated, and the killing squads to the north of the city began to withdraw one after another.

Most of them were already sick and couldn’t return to their respective Safe Zones. They had to go into isolation and receive treatment within those three quarantined Safe Zones.

Although the Plague Horror had died, its lingering influence remained. If one was not careful, there could be a secondary infection, so they needed to be cautious.

Even though the main Physique players had not shown any symptoms of infection, they had been in a dangerous place and needed to use the Diffusion Ineffective Pills as well.

These pills were originally used by players to prevent leaving any viruses behind in the story world, and they were now ideal for quarantining the plague. It was these pills that prevented the virus from spreading on a large scale. Otherwise, the highly populous Safe Zone would have been ravaged.

Li Changhe was saying farewell to those three players at this moment.

The three of them needed to find a place to use the Golden Apple, and if their injuries were not cured, they would have to honestly proceed to the Safe Zone for treatment. These Spirit Fruits were hard to come by and although they were not as effective as All-purpose medicine, they were still a major favor.

Among them, the official player gave Li Changhe a small gift in return—a plant stem the size of a carrot.

This was from a Demon Beast Species’s torso.

It was said to be a Demon Beast Species that looked like ginseng and could absorb the life force of nearby humans.

The effect of its body was similar to ginseng, if not better. Taking a small bite could temporarily speed up the recovery of spirit and physical strength.

It was for this reason that the trio could face so many Demons and still maintain a certain combat strength. Unfortunately, as much as it could replenish, it could not cure the plague.

Now, as a token of gratitude, they gifted Li Changhe with a large piece.

Lory, a member of the group, winked and said, "General Li Ba, this is even more effective than tiger-bone liquor."

"Hmm... saying this to someone with a main Physique is somewhat superfluous," Li Changhe clicked his tongue, but couldn’t deny that it indeed was a fine item!

Li Changhe weighed the large ginseng in his hand before promptly putting it in his backpack, wondering if someone with a main Physique like him would suffer from being too strong to benefit from supplements?

He thought about trying it out with the girl someday...

"Well then, General Li Ba, farewell until we meet again." The three players quickly took their leave.

The Demon’s movements in the vicinity were not too intense, either. With the death of the Plague Horror, humans were able to send out a lot of support. They obviously weren’t ready to confront humanity head-on just yet.

Li Changhe walked around the area but did not spot many traces of Demons. It seemed the Demon leaders were very clear about this.

Too bad, the plan to feed Big Lead had to be postponed.

Li Changhe thought to himself that by activating Extraordinary Soldier, the Crying Hero must have sensed it.

Yet he had not shown up, either something had detained him, or... he was not yet ready to make contact with him...

No matter, there would be a chance.

That guy must harbor a fierce intent to kill him, but Li Changhe did not believe he would do anything dangerous to the girl or the box.

And that Plague Horror... was probably his doing, wasn’t it? Otherwise, why would it foolishly charge at the killing squads?

With these thoughts in mind, Li Changhe changed into his magical attire and headed towards the temporary Safe Zone.

When Li Changhe arrived near the temporary Safe Zone, what he saw was a multitude of Demon corpses.

From the ruins closest to the Black Great Wall down to its base, almost everywhere were the corpses of Terror Devils, the thick scent of blood filling the nostrils.

The battle must have been fierce, Li Changhe thought as he swept his gaze over the warriors on the wall. He saw them holding their guns at the ready, in a state of high alert.

Presumably, the mere act of reaching the wall must have cost the Terror Devils unimaginably.

And after getting close to the wall, they were then brutally beaten by the players.

Even though Li Changhe had gone out to provide support, there were still more than ten players here. To breach the Black Great Wall, perhaps it would take several Terror Devils at the level of the Faceless Man.

Greeting the players on the wall, Li Changhe stepped over the corpses of the Devils and approached the wall.

At the entrance to the wall, a disinfection room was already prepared.

Inside were Diffusion Ineffective Pills and various disinfectants, all for the purpose of preventing outsiders from bringing the virus in.

Li Changhe stayed inside a bit longer than necessary to thoroughly disinfect his Mountain Pattern Armor and the equipment he had used before. He wanted to avoid bringing any virus into the Safe Zone, which was a guarantee of food security for humanity—nothing could go wrong.

After coming out of the disinfection room, he heard an official player laughing and saying, "General Li Ba, thank you."

Being an official, he knew more than the other players. He knew that Li Changhe had gone to the rescue alone, not even waiting for a rendezvous with other reinforcements.

However, it was precisely because of Li Changhe’s solo rescue that the three-person team was able to survive.

If they had really waited for the rendezvous as planned, the fate of the three-person team might have been worrisome indeed.

"It’s nothing. How’s the defense of the Safe Zone?" Li Changhe waved his hand and asked.

"After you left, we faced an attack from at least a thousand Terror Devils. Although there were many, most were mowed down by the defense machine guns on the wall. However, some of the Devils climbed the wall and caused a little injury to the Combat Personnel. Fortunately, there were no deaths." The official player responded, "The number was just too great for us to cover comprehensively."

Surviving an assault by a thousand Devils without any deaths was good news already.

Among the injured was Li Changhe’s old classmate, Zhao Qianhui.

Fortunately, he wasn’t seriously hurt.

In the hospital room, Li Changhe covered his nose and looked up and down.

The only injuries he had were some swelling in his leg and bruises on his face from bumps and knocks. Other than a strange smell, there was nothing else wrong.

"Don’t cover your nose, I’ve already washed three times. There’s no smell!" Old Zhao saw Li Changhe’s actions and was quite dissatisfied.

It was said that this lad had a close encounter with a particularly disgusting-looking Terror Devil.

It was one that resembled a mound of human flesh lumped together into a muddy mass. From the hollow in its head, several human hands reached out and dragged Old Zhao in, intending to swallow him.

By then, Old Zhao had run out of bullets in his gun, and the nearest automated defense gun had also been silenced by a Devil. His teammates were too far away to assist in time.

In the dire situation, he switched on the chainsaw under the barrel of his chainsaw rifle and brutally performed an oral cleaning on the Devil, getting his face covered in its pungent bloody flesh.

When the girl arrived, Old Zhao was almost suffocated by the corpse of the Devil.

For a non-player student, this was brave... it’s just that the smell was rather strong.

Even though he’d washed three times, Li Changhe’s sense of smell could still detect it.
