Chapter 25 - Cracking cocoon (Kneeling for Collection)

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The smell of zero was always in the air, neither too much nor too little, just enough to lead Hans to the canyon like a ghost.

Hans panted heavily as the mutated muscles emitted an astonishing amount of heat. As the energy within his body was being used up, Zero was already reaching its limit, so how could he escape from the Han Dynasty? It was true that the infinitely regenerating flesh and blood were real, but the energy was unable to regenerate. However, in the past three days, due to the zero movement combat style, Hans was unable to even rest, much less eat.

Moreover, this body that looked like a human tank now, compared to its human form, seemed to be consuming even more energy. He did not have the ability to adjust each portion of energy to its limit like he did with zero minute movements. Relatively speaking, the energy consumed by Hans was far above zero. Although his base in this area was also much larger than zero.

The current Hans was like a wild beast, he did not have any extra rationality to restrict his movements. Ever since he had liberated the shackles of rationality, Hans's only reason left was to kill zero. Therefore, even though the energy consumption was nearing exhaustion, he could not stop, nor could he stop.

He rushed into the canyon, bringing with him a cloud of dust. The smell of nothing here was much fainter. The wind blowing into the canyon was dispersed by the mountain walls, creating a few irregular gusts of wind that would reduce the scattered smell of blood in the air. Hans had to work hard to distinguish between them so that he wouldn't lose his target.

After passing through a rugged mountain road and crossing two broken highways, under a broken road sign, Hans found zero bloodstains. This excited him, and the smell of blood continued up the hill. Hans bent his knees and jumped ten meters away. He caught the protruding rocks on the mountain wall and chased after them as if he was flying.

Under Hans's control, the two hundred meters of distance quickly came to an end as Hans jumped onto a platform halfway up the mountain. The sand and rocks here had been grinded into powder by the strong winds and the scorching sun. Traces of blood could be seen extending out of the dry sand and mud towards a cave in front of them.

Zero was hiding inside.

Hans thought of this as he flew towards the cave. As he walked closer, he felt a bit absent-minded. He seemed to have been to this place before, but of course, the current Hans would not remember this. Just half a month ago, he dragged a dead wolf into the cave to tear and nibble on it, which also attracted Zero's attention.

Now, he had returned to this cave. It was just that the corpse wolf's body had disappeared, but Hans saw something else. Just behind a rock in the cave, Hans saw a back figure. He curled up behind the rock, trembling slightly. Zero seemed to be injured, which made Hans very happy. He roared, his voice echoing through the cave.

Hans pounced towards Zero, and the hand that was strong enough to break an elephant's neck grabbed towards Zero. Zero seemed to be severely injured, and could not escape Hans's grasp at all. Hans clenched his fingers tightly and raised it up.

Zero's body is abnormally light.

With a hiss, the clothes split open.

There was nothing under the clothes, and there was a small crack in the ground. The wind blew from a crack in the ground, causing Zero's clothes to sway continuously, and created the false image that Hans had just seen. Hans's current brain was unable to understand what it meant to be fooled, but he was extremely furious at not being able to catch Zero. Thus, the furious Hans did not see it. As the clothes were torn apart, a thread hidden under the clothes was lifted up.

The other end of the thread was attached to the safety lock of a grenade on the ground. With the lifting of the thread, the safety catch was removed. With an almost inaudible sound, the hand grenade's needle sank. After touching the explosive equipment, the air inside began to inflate rapidly.

Beside this grenade, there was an entire circle of detonators, which were originally used to hunt wolves. Obviously, their target was Hans.

A flash of fire.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A huge explosion sounded in the canyon, and many of the corpse wolves that were resting in the canyon immediately panicked and ran away. From afar, a fiery cloud rose up from the canyon. The fiery clouds rolled about, accompanied by thick smoke and falling stones. Suddenly, they scattered in all directions.

After a few seconds, the fire cloud started to descend, but the whole mountain was already pitch black. The raging flames surrounded the weeds that had crawled out of the crevices of the mountain. Although the mutated creatures in the valley were curious, they did not dare to approach.

A minute later, a figure appeared in the vicinity.

Zero was carrying a sniper rifle, and was only wearing a comfortable vest. His shirt was sacrificed to lure Hans into his trap, the hot sunlight bringing along an astonishing amount of ultraviolet light as it fell on his body. The skin that was exposed under his clothes had already started to turn slightly red, but that was all. Zero did not know that if it was a normal person, their skin would have already been rotten from the ultraviolet rays.

The thick and solid military boot stomped down a bush of flourishing burning grass, then carefully crawled into the hole with the sniper rifle in hand. There was choking smoke in the cave, and Zero held his breath. However, the thick smoke, mixed with the smell of gunpowder, blocked Zero's line of sight. Zero narrowed his eyes into slits to ease the irritation of the smoke. He regretted not wearing a gas mask. Otherwise, he wouldn't be crying like this.

Other than the sounds of fire burning the weeds in the cave, Zero could not hear Hans's voice. Unless Hans was killed on the spot, how could there be no sound? The power of the detonator's detonator was extremely clear, but whether it could kill Hans in one blow, Zero did not have complete confidence.

However, when the dense smoke gradually disappeared, Zero finally knew the reason why Hans did not make a sound. At the place where the trap had been set up, the ground of the cave had completely collapsed, revealing a large, pitch-black hole. The bottom of the cave was actually hollow, and when the not-so-thick ground was blown up by the explosives, it was natural for it to collapse.

Looking at the cave entrance that looked like a bottomless abyss, Zero did not have any plans to go down and confirm whether Hans was still alive or not. He turned to leave. At this time, a hand reached out from the hole, grabbed onto the military boot, and forcefully dragged it down.

Zero immediately lost his balance and fell into the hole.

It's Hans!

In the instant he fell, Zero saw him. Half of Hans's body was blown away, and the only thing that remained of his left arm and two legs were fixed on the mountain wall of the cave. He was supposed to catch something to support his body as he left the cave, but instead he caught zero, and now he and Zero fell into the cave together.

Falling into hell.

Half of Hans's head had disappeared, but this did not stop his eyes from capturing Zero's face. When he found out that he had no intention of catching zero, he became excited instead.

With the whistling wind in his ears, Zero did not hesitate at all. The muzzle of the sniper rifle aimed at Hans and grabbed his arm, firing at the part of his forearm.

In a short distance, the bullet from the sniper rifle tore Hans's arm apart. Su Yun seized the opportunity and stomped heavily on Hans's face, borrowing the force to descend even faster than Hans.

After pulling away from the monster, Zero did not aim and fired at the monster above.

Fires flickered in the cave, and the sounds of gunfire rang out incessantly. Each and every one of the sniper bullets penetrated Hans's body, and every time these little fellows passed by, they would definitely leave behind fist-sized holes of blood on his body. Hans shouted loudly as he was shot. He raised his hand that had his forearm cut off, and the bones and muscles at the wound suddenly regenerated at a crazy rate.

In less than two seconds, Hans's arm was fully regenerated. He roared loudly, and his five fingers that were grabbing towards zero suddenly extended explosively.

Flesh and blood proliferation!

His five fingers were like thorns that pierced towards nothing, he was no longer able to shoot, he could only swing his sniper rifle horizontally, just barely able to block Hans's straight stab.

The Demon Claw like finger pierced into the sniper rifle, and the metal friction caused a sharp sound that tortured Zero's ears. He immediately let go of the sniper rifle and swiped it down the back of his waist. The M500 pistol immediately appeared in his hand.

He raised his right hand and shot out. Big caliber revolver roared. The 50 warheads carried with them over 3000 joules' energy as they instantly shot into the magazine with the sniper rifle. They immediately destroyed Allen's favorite hunting tool set.

Most of the stray bullets struck Hans's body. Zero was also affected, one in each calf and one in each shoulder. Blood bloomed like flowers, and as it fell from the sky, it drew out blood-red threads.

From falling into the cave to the fierce battle occurring in the air, the whole process took just over ten seconds. However, he had fallen to the bottom of the hole in just a dozen seconds. Zero looked down and was slightly taken aback. At the bottom of the cave, there was a small mountain of meat eggs that were trembling slightly. The familiar scene brought back Zero's memories. That was not the Gold Devourer cave he saw a few days ago.

Zero fell onto the meat egg and it suddenly sank down. The surface of the egg was like a skin that could not withstand the force of the drop and was torn apart. Zero continued to fall, but dropped into the unusually thick liquid. He did not know if it was the Gold Devourer's bodily fluids or what it was, but it acted as a great cushion. The meat eggs were like deflated balloons that were constantly being sacked, and the viscous liquid continued to leak out in all directions. In this layer of liquid, Zero rolled onto the ground. It rolled on some brown fecal-like soft mud, but fortunately it did not break its limbs.

Hans was out of luck, the sniper rifle had exploded and went off fire at a close distance, causing Hans's falling trajectory to deviate. The shockwave from the explosion sent him crashing into the walls of the cave. He did not know how many rocks he had smashed into along the way. The last part of the meat egg that acted as a cushion was eaten, so Hans heavily fell onto the ground.

His head hit the ground first, and the vertebrae in his neck were crushed by the impact. Following that, his body fell on the ground again. In that instant of contact, the huge impact broke all the bones behind Hans's back, and the spine and waist that were hidden under his flesh also shattered. directly kissed the ground intimately, and the violent vibrations caused him to temporarily faint.

Zero crawled up from the ground, looked at Hans's meat mountain and frowned slightly.

Even the explosives couldn't completely suppress the monster. He had to think about how to use a strategic missile to destroy the monster. He once again observed the structure of the cave and considered the possibility of sealing the cave, trapping Hans here forever.

As he walked, Zero suddenly kicked something. He turned his head and saw a round cocoon. The cocoon was yellowish brown, and its skin was as hard as a coconut shell. He looked at the cocoon, then at the shattered egg, and tried to figure out the connection between the two.

At this moment, the cocoon split with a "bo" sound. Immediately afterwards, countless hair-sized slits spread out. The cocoon trembled incessantly, as if something was about to emerge from it.
