Free Web NovelChapter 21: Chapter 21: Open the Door and Fight
Ye Yun had a general idea of why there was such a huge difference.
After all, the [Shelter Entrance (White)] only had a mere 10 points of Defense Power. After upgrading it to the [Shelter Entrance (Green)], its Defense Power had increased a full tenfold, reaching 100 points.
Facing a Defense Power as high as 100 points, those little cockroaches could probably barely even penetrate his defense.
It would likely be very difficult for just these six small mutant cockroaches to break through his upgraded Shelter Entrance.
But just sitting back and waiting to die wasn’t a good option.
Another problem quickly occurred to Ye Yun.
’Am I just supposed to let these six small mutant cockroaches block my entrance?’
’If these six mutant cockroaches don’t leave, does that mean I can’t send my androids out to explore?’
Just then, a message in the chat room caught his attention.
[Bros, I did the math. Even though our entrance has 10,000 durability, it won’t last long.]
[In two days at most, those mutant cockroaches will chew through the entrance. I’m planning to arm my androids and have them take out the mutant cockroaches outside.]
Reading this, Ye Yun’s eyes lit up.
’That’s right, why should I let these things just block my entrance?’
’No. 1 and No. 2 have killed hundreds of mutant cockroaches, maybe even a thousand.’
Wait a minute. A possibility suddenly occurred to Ye Yun.
’Could the reason there are so few mutant cockroaches outside my shelter be that No. 1 and No. 2 killed too many of them over the last few days?’
But he knew this wasn’t the time to dwell on that.
Six mutant cockroaches wasn’t that many. Given the combat strength of No. 1 and No. 2, wiping them out would likely just cost them some durability.
Although he already had an idea, Ye Yun didn’t act rashly. Since someone else already had this idea, he figured he’d wait and see. After all, if someone was willing to be a guinea pig, there was no need for him to stop them.
「15 minutes later.」
Lei Hu: [Done. Just nine mutant cockroaches, and they thought they could block my entrance?]
When he popped up again, the chat room instantly burst into activity.
[Brother Hu, you’re a badass! You took care of those mutant cockroaches so fast!]
[Lei Hu, were those mutant cockroaches hard to deal with? I’ve got a full thirteen of them blocking my entrance.]
Lei Hu: [Not too hard. I have a piece of white armor that gives +5 Defense Power. I put it on my Goudan, gave her a melee weapon, and had her act as a meat shield up front to draw the cockroaches’ attacks.]
[Alice and I took the BB guns that Brother Ye sold us and took potshots from the back.]
[Alice and I didn’t get hurt at all. Goudan just lost 15% of her durability.]
After hearing Lei Hu’s experience, the chat room was filled with messages of thanks and admiration. Everyone announced they would follow his example and use his strategy to wipe out all the mutant cockroaches outside their entrances.
’I really can’t underestimate anyone,’ Ye Yun thought to himself.
Not only was Lei Hu swift and decisive, acting as soon as he had a plan, but his execution was also incredibly detailed.
To think he’d use one of his androids as a meat shield to guarantee his own safety.
Since someone had already succeeded with this method, Ye Yun no longer hesitated.
Ye Yun and No. 2 retreated a bit further back, then he had No. 1 open the Shelter Entrance.
The instant the Shelter Entrance opened.
The mutant cockroaches outside immediately stopped gnawing on the door and instead quickly charged into the shelter through the opening.
No. 1, positioned at the entrance, instantly became the target of these six mutant cockroaches.
Without a moment’s hesitation, No. 1 raised the baseball bat in its hands and began to fight back.
No. 2, positioned beside Ye Yun, also raised its BB gun and started firing at the mutant cockroaches.
Ye Yun was stunned for a moment before he snapped back to reality. This was no time to be dazed. He quickly raised his gun and fired at the mutant cockroaches. freёweɓnovel.com
Whether it was due to his bionic body or not, Ye Yun found his marksmanship to be surprisingly good.
He wasn’t a perfect shot, but his aim was steady. Of course, that might have just been because he was shooting from close range.
Ten minutes later, the last mutant cockroach fell to the ground, twitching.
Ye Yun breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that all the mutant cockroaches were dead.
He had No. 1 and No. 2 inspect the cockroach corpses. Only after confirming they were all completely dead did Ye Yun cautiously approach.
He prodded the corpses on the ground with his BB gun.
These mutant cockroaches were covered in hard carapaces.
The only way to kill them was to attack their weak spots or the gaps between their armor plates.
Most of the corpses showed a spot where their carapace had been completely shattered, which was how they were killed.
Ye Yun was extremely glad he had copied Lei Hu’s method; otherwise, he never would have been able to eliminate these cockroaches so quickly.
The carapaces on these things were pretty thick.
Neither the baseball bat nor the BBs could inflict much damage on them. To land a fatal blow, you had to hit the same spot repeatedly.
Also, judging by how they’d rushed in, these mutant cockroaches were incredibly fast.
If No. 1 hadn’t acted as a decoy, he probably wouldn’t have been able to finish them off in under ten minutes.
Ye Yun closed the Shelter Entrance again, and only then had No. 1 and No. 2 clean up the corpses at the entrance.
However, he couldn’t quite relax.
After all, this danger had been dealt with a little too easily.
He had a nagging feeling that these cockroaches were just an appetizer, with a much bigger problem waiting for him down the line. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
But when he opened the public chat room and saw the conversations on it, he immediately wondered if he was being too paranoid.
’Was it not that this threat was too simple, but that I was too strong?’
Though it had only been a little over an hour since the mutant cockroaches began their assault on the shelters, the public chat room had already transformed from a place of initial panic to one of utter despair.
[Help, my Shelter Entrance’s durability is down to half! Do I really have to let the cockroaches in to fight them? Won’t that be like letting the wolf into the henhouse?]
[Don’t believe the guy above! Who was it just now that said you can let the cockroaches in to fight? FUCK YOU, trying to screw people over at a time like this! Both my androids were killed by the cockroaches! I’m hiding in my dorm waiting to die!! Those mutant cockroaches are already chewing on my dorm room door!!]
[Letting the cockroaches into the shelter to fight them is absolutely the right move! I’ve already taken care of all 21 mutant cockroaches that were blocking my entrance, but one of my androids’ durability dropped by a full 53%. It almost got destroyed.]
[I dealt with the mutant cockroaches successfully too, but one of my androids is down to only 15% durability. I used Brother Hu’s method, so how can it be a lie?]
