Global Grave Digging: My Reward Increased Ten Thousand Times

142: Going to the surfacePfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft—!!!

A dense series of scalp-tingling piercing sounds erupted!

That arrogant Zerg vanguard’s proud, hard carapace was as fragile as paper under the barrage of over a hundred dark thunder spears!

In an instant, it was pierced with countless fist-sized holes!

Purple-black Zerg blood gushed out from those holes like a fountain!

Immediately after!

Boom, boom, boom, boom—!!!

An even more terrifying chain reaction of explosions occurred!

Every dark thunder spear that had shot into the Zerg’s body detonated simultaneously!

The destructive power of the dark thunder raged wildly from within their bodies!

That powerful Zerg vanguard, along with the dozens of Zerg elites behind it, was instantly blown into a sky full of flesh fragments and charred remains!

Not even a single complete piece of debris was left!

One strike!

Just one strike!

The Zerg vanguard unit that had just been giving the Steel Bone City guards such a headache was completely annihilated by Lin Fei with the momentum of a thunderbolt!

On the battlefield, whether it was the human guards or the surviving Zerg, everyone was completely stunned by this terrifying scene that resembled divine punishment.

For a moment, they even forgot to keep fighting.

”Roar—!!!”

At the same time, an even higher-pitched Dragon roar sounded on the other side of the battlefield!

Lin Mengzi was not idle either; with a wave of her slender hand, a dense aura of death and the undead soared into the sky.

A skeletal Dragon, several times larger than the Zerg vanguard, composed entirely of stark white bones with two clusters of ghostly blue Soul fire burning in its eye sockets, roared out from the Void Realm!

As soon as the skeletal Dragon appeared, it spread its massive bone wings, and within its Dragon mouth, a shadow Dragon breath containing a dense aura of death swept towards another group of Zerg like a flood from the heavens!

Any Zerg touched by the shadow Dragon breath saw their flesh and blood rapidly decay, wither, and completely dissipate.

Immediately after.

The skeletal Dragon swooped down, its massive bone claws swinging to tear several more Zerg into pieces.

In front of these two powerful reinforcements, who were like gods of slaughter descending to the world, the once incredibly arrogant Zerg finally felt fear from the depths of their Souls.

The Zerg were fearless of death, but this was only because they would continue to charge as long as they perceived a situation where they could win.

Facing an enemy like Lin Fei, no amount of Zerg could kill him, so instinctive fear took hold.

”Retreat!”

They began to scatter, desperately fleeing towards the breach in the outer wall!

”Don’t let them get away!”

The battle-hardened guard captain immediately gave the order.

However, from the very beginning, a small portion of the Zerg responsible for intelligence gathering had already left Steel Bone City first, heading towards the surface to bring the location information back to the Zerg hive.

Boom, boom, boom!

The human team gave chase.

Because of the addition of Lin Fei and Lin Mengzi, the war ended quickly.

At the entrance of Steel Bone City, the ground was covered with Zerg remains and shell casings left by the human guards.

Although they had successfully defended the city, everyone’s face was extremely grave.

Because this place had been discovered, it might no longer be safe!

They might need to leave this place they relied on for survival, head elsewhere, and open up a new dungeon.

”Captain, our energy shield generator was severely damaged in the collision, and I’m afraid it will be difficult to repair in a short time,” a technician reported, running over.

”The breach in the outer wall also needs to be sealed as soon as possible!”

”Damn it! They actually discovered this place!”

The guard captain took a hard drag on his cigarette.

He cast his gaze toward the breach, his eyes filled with worry.

At this moment, a heavy mecha captain strode over.

”The situation is very bad!”

”Among the bugs that escaped just now, some of them acted very cautiously from the beginning; they didn’t participate in the frontal assault, but instead kept observing our defensive deployment.”

”I suspect they are Zerg scouts. Their purpose is to bring the location information of Steel Bone City back to the Zerg hive!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s expression became even uglier.

The reason Steel Bone City had been able to stand until now in this apocalyptic world relied heavily on its hidden geographical location.

Once discovered by the main Zerg force, the consequences would be unimaginable!

”Damn!”

”This won’t do; we absolutely cannot let them succeed!”

”We are still some distance from the Zerg hive; we cannot let them escape.”

”We must pursue!”

”We must pursue!” The guard captain decided decisively, ”We absolutely cannot let those bugs bring the news back!”

But the problem was, the surface was too dangerous.

If they went out, it was very difficult to return alive, or rather, to ensure this place wasn’t discovered, those who went out basically couldn’t return alive.

Everyone looked at each other; they definitely had to pursue.

But who would go?!

Just then, the city lord of Steel Bone City also hurried over.

He was an elderly man wearing reading glasses, and the shirt he was wearing had been washed until the color faded.

”How is the situation?”

”We held them off, thanks to these two Awakeners.”

”They are Awakeners from the Third Team; I didn’t expect them to be so powerful!”

”They must have had another Awakening recently; Awakeners will become stronger due to a sudden Awakening!”

Steel Bone City Lord Taku’s eyes were filled with admiration and gratitude: ”Thanks to both of you.”

Beside him was a man also wearing exoskeleton armor; he slung his gun over his back and removed his helmet.

”You two did very well. I will apply to the General Headquarters Megacity and have you go to the big city for advanced training when the time comes.”

In Lin Fei’s eyes, a piece of information appeared above the bearded man’s head.

【 Steel Bone City Awakener Guard General Captain — High Commander (lv29) 】

”High Commander, you are too kind; this is what we should do,” Lin Fei said.

High Commander nodded, then his tone became serious: ”It just so happens that the Third Team has been without a commander.

In view of your outstanding performance in this battle, in the name of the General Captain of the Guard, I am promoting you to be the captain and vice-captain of the Third Awakener Team!

However, the situation is quite severe right now, so you may still need to guard Steel Bone City for a while.”

”That is only right.”

Subsequently, High Commander looked at the others.

”Now, I need to form an elite pursuit squad to follow me to the surface and hunt down those escaping Zerg scouts!

This is an extremely dangerous mission, a near-death experience, but someone must do it; otherwise, if they take the intelligence out, the entire Steel Bone City will be finished.

Who is willing to go with me!”

High Commander was well aware of the urgency of the situation and knew that no one wanted to go on this mission.

Therefore, he had to take the lead.

Just like his father did back then.

”I’ll go.”

”I’ll go too.”

Lin Fei and Lin Mengzi spoke almost simultaneously.

For Lin Fei, this was exactly the opportunity he wanted; only by entering the surface could he understand this world more deeply.

And search for clues about the Star Core Divine Weapon and his third sister, Lu Zhifei.

Moreover, after going out, he could kill more bugs and let him gain experience points.

You have to know, the cores dropped by the Zerg could sell for 150,000 killing coins each on the outside!

However, that was because they were rare for crafting equipment in the Early Stage; they might become cheaper in the Late Stage.

Lin Mengzi naturally followed Lin Fei.

She had long since made up her mind; wherever Lin Fei went, she would accompany him.

High Commander looked at the two’s firm gazes, and a surge of heroic spirit welled up in his heart.

”Good! With you joining, this trip will surely be a success!”

And with the powerful Lin Fei and Lin Mengzi joining, plus the General Captain leading the team, and people who cared about Steel Bone City, more people raised their hands to join.

”General Captain, count me in.”

”I can go too.”

”I’ll come too.”

Soon, a pursuit squad consisting of Lin Fei, Lin Mengzi, and ten of the most experienced veteran guards resolutely stepped into the elevator leading to the surface, amidst the expectant gazes of countless residents of Steel Bone City.
