Survival in the apocalypse, teammate Xia Shiyu at the start

Shen Zhao observed quietly for a while.

Suddenly, as he released his primal force, he sensed a human presence that he recognized very well, in addition to the two monsters present.

"Mrs. Sawamura?"

He muttered to himself.

Eriri, who was standing nearby, heard her mother's name and exclaimed excitedly, "We found Mom?"

next moment.

Outside the encirclement of the flesh-eating centipede, several crab monsters creaked and turned around.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: A Three-Way Battle – Finding Sayuri Sawamura!

The crab monsters nearby turned around.

Eriri quickly covered her mouth, realizing she had made a mistake by speaking too loudly.

She looked at Shen Zhao somewhat uneasily, worried that he would blame her, abandon the rescue, and turn to leave.

Shen Zhao did not show any anger or dissatisfaction on his face.

He glanced at her and said indifferently, "Looks like I'll have to find something to shut your little mouth before I need some quiet next time."

For example, a gag or a big stick.

call out!

A red plasma blade popped out from the hilt of the lightsaber.

Click, click, click!

Several crab monsters raised their pairs of claws that opened and closed repeatedly, and charged swiftly toward the two of them with their sharp legs.

Shen Zhao did not charge forward with his lightsaber to meet the enemy.

With a wave of his left hand, one after another, adamantium alloy blades shot out.

Click!

The flying blade pierced through the crab monster's brown shell as easily as cutting butter, penetrating deep into its body and spinning to turn its internal organs into a paste.

A game notification sounded in my ear: "Obtained a sample of the Mist Alien [Iron Crab], exploration progress slightly increased."

Shen Zhao frowned.

These monsters, which are called "Iron Crabs" in the game space, truly live up to their name.

Its outer shell was indeed incredibly sturdy, and he felt a noticeable resistance when he tried to pierce it with his flying blade.

This weapon is made of adamantium alloy; ordinary steel blades would probably be unable to penetrate its defenses.

Whoosh whoosh!

The crab monster's defense was stronger than expected, so Shen Zhao didn't dare to attack multiple targets at the same time.

His current development of electromagnetic control is insufficient, and the power he can output when manipulating metal is very limited.

Even sharp throwing knives made of adamantium alloy.

Even if the attack is spread out, the kinetic energy carried by a single blade may not be enough to penetrate the Ironclad Crab's shell.

He then retrieved most of the throwing blades and focused all his abilities on controlling a single throwing blade for attacks.

The speed of the flying blade increased by more than one level, darting back and forth in the air like lightning.

Chi!Chi!Chi!

One after another, giant crabs were pierced and killed by adamantium alloy flying blades.

However, more and more Ironclad Crabs were drawn to the two and charged towards them aggressively.

Shen Zhao's killing speed was not fast enough to stop the giant crabs from approaching.

Seeing a large group of crab monsters waving their claws menacingly approaching, the girl with golden twin tails took a step back in fright.

A man's stern voice rang out: "I told you not to wander off! Stay by my side!"

Eriri quickly and obediently moved closer to her again.

My mother is right here. As long as she doesn't abandon me at this time, I'll do anything she asks.

Shen Zhao's mind raced as he analyzed the current situation, and after a moment's thought, he devised a response plan.

Ignoring the approaching swarm of armored crabs, he took out an explosive grenade from his spatial backpack, which he had seized from a veteran player of the Crimson Guild.

After pulling off the safety pins, they threw them forward one after another with force.

Boom boom boom——

Explosions sounded one after another.

Eriri instinctively said, "You threw it off course."

Shen Zhao completely ignored her.

The girl with golden twin tails quickly realized that the man hadn't just thrown the bomb off course; he was actually going to blow it up over there.

Because that was the battlefield where the flesh-eating centipede and a group of armored crabs clashed fiercely.

The powerful explosive grenade sent the armored crabs that were surrounding and killing the flesh-eating centipede flying into disarray, throwing them into a brief period of chaos.

The flesh-eating centipede seized the opportunity, hissing as it charged toward a gap that had been blasted open in the encirclement.

It opened its massive mouth and swallowed a metal crab that blocked its way, then continued its charge forward without a care.

However, Shen Zhao was not there specifically to help it out.

Sensing that the flesh-eating centipede was about to break through the encirclement, he clenched his left hand tightly and unleashed all the primal force he could muster.

The Force can manipulate matter!

The flesh-eating centipede, which was charging at high speed, suddenly stopped.

Although it only lasted a few seconds, it was enough for many of the surrounding armored crabs to catch up.

One after another, the armored crabs swarmed forward fearlessly.

The powerful charge in front knocked the flesh-eating centipede over, while the one behind leaped up and pounced on it, clinging firmly to it.

The flesh-eating centipede was unwilling to surrender, and it rolled and struggled wildly, splitting open its blood-red maw to devour its enemies.

For a moment, the attention of the armored crab swarm was completely drawn to the much larger prey, the flesh-eating centipede.

Only a few crab monsters continued to relentlessly charge towards Shen Zhao and his companion, but they were all shot down one by one by the Adamantium alloy blades.

Shen Zhao whispered to Eriri, "Come with me."

Then, taking advantage of the flesh-eating centipede's desperate struggle that tied down the main force of the armored crab swarm, he led the girl toward the location of Sawamura Sayuri, whom he had sensed.

Behind a large blue stone covered in moss.

The petite beauty, dressed in a black bodysuit, curled up in a ball, her hands pressed tightly against her mouth.

The constant booming sounds and monster howls in the distance caused her body to tremble uncontrollably.

Just then, something pounced on her.

She screamed and kicked wildly at the other person with both legs.

"what!"

The cry of pain reached my ears, and it sounded vaguely familiar.

Immediately afterwards, another familiar male voice came into view: "Mrs. Sawamura, it's me, and Miss Eriri."

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Mother and Daughter Reunited, Using Herself to Lure the Enemy!

Behind the large bluestone covered with thick moss.

Shen Zhao looked at the mother and daughter in front of him with a smile on his lips.

The girl with golden twin ponytails pouted, and a striking black footprint stood out on her fair and delicate face.

A beautiful woman with almost identical looks and figure, but a more mature demeanor, was frantically wiping the footprints off the girl's face.

Just now, Shen Zhao led Eriri to the location where Mrs. Sawamura was hiding.

Overwhelmed with emotion at finally reuniting with her mother, the girl rushed over to her.

As a result, the highly stressed Sayuri Sawamura was startled and kicked her daughter away in a few random kicks.

One of the kicks landed on Eriri's face.

The girl with golden twin tails felt angry, depressed, and regretful.

Finding that her daughter's fair face was getting dirtier the more she wiped it, Sayuri Sawamura simply gave up.

After comforting her daughter in her arms, she looked gratefully at the man beside her and said, "Thank you for saving me, Mr. Shen Zhao."

Shen Zhao smiled and said, "You're welcome. We're all old acquaintances, it's not my style to stand by and watch someone die."

Eriri turned to look at him upon hearing this, speechless at the shamelessness of this man who was blatantly lying.

She had paid a huge price to get the other party to agree to help her save her mother.

Seeing her mother's increasingly grateful expression, she cried out in her heart, "Mom, don't be fooled by him!"

But she dared not tell her mother about her deal with this man.

All I could do was watch helplessly from the sidelines.

At the same time, an idea popped into Eriri's mind.

The mother is now saved, and according to the terms of the deal, this man can do whatever he wants to her now.

What methods will the other party use to manipulate her?

Various doujinshi plots played out in Eriri's mind, with her replacing the heroine in all of them.

In an instant, the girl with golden twin ponytails blushed.

Fortunately, the smeared shoe prints covered it up, preventing the mother, who was standing nearby, from noticing anything amiss.

What the girl didn't know was that her mother was quite experienced in this matter.

Because she had already made the same deal with the same man.

I didn't dare let her know afterwards either.

At this moment, the commotion of the battle outside subsided.

The high-pitched hissing of the flesh-eating centipede disappeared, leaving only the clicking sounds of the armored crabs' legs moving and their pincers opening and closing.

The battle was over, and without a doubt, the superior number of armored crabs emerged victorious.

Sawamura Sayuri looked at Shen Zhao: "Mr. Shen Zhao, what should we do next?"

Shen Zhao began to think about it seriously.

Hiding here and waiting for the armored crabs to leave is one option, but it's too risky.

If they are discovered, escaping will be much more difficult than it is now when the crabs are completely unprepared.

Walking directly is not an option either, as the movement of three people traveling through the dense forest would be easily detected.

Unless you replace Sayuri Sawamura and Eriri, those two weak women, with two highly trained top special forces soldiers.

The safest option is to lure the armored crabs away first, and then evacuate with the mother and daughter.

The problem is that they just paid a huge price to hunt down a flesh-eating centipede, and these monsters certainly won't easily leave their spoils.

"It seems the only solution is to cut off the source of the problem."

The armored crabs won't leave their loot easily, so just steal it from them!

I don't believe these monsters won't chase after us.

Shen Zhao whispered to the mother and daughter, "You wait here, I'll go lure those monsters away."

Sayuri Sawamura hurriedly advised, "Mr. Shen Zhao, that's too dangerous. Let's think of another way!"

Eriri snapped out of her reverie and said, "Mom's right. Why don't we continue hiding here?"
