Tom was knocked down by a huge shadow from the air, and as he lay pinned to the ground, he could barely make out the true identity of the shadow through the gap in his helmet: a cockroach.
"Weren't we supposed to deal with five cockroaches?" Bozi cursed Skinny anxiously beside him. "How did you scout, and moreover, this one... it's huge!"
This mutant giant cockroach was indeed massive, easily twice the size of Tom in his armor.
Its mandibular mouthparts were even sharper, and the rapidly opening and closing spikes resembled a chainsaw as they approached Tom's chest.
The breastplate was the hardest part of the entire set of Old Street armor, almost half a palm's thickness, but in the face of its crazily serrated mouthparts, sparks still flew.
With a loud shout, Bozi swiftly rushed to Tom's side with enhanced leg explosiveness, took 2 seconds to cool down, switched to strength mode, and used twice his arm strength to viciously smash the iron rod that had slipped from Tom's hand onto the mutated giant cockroach's leg.
One blow, no response. Bozi continued to strike, three times in total, until the giant cockroach finally grew irritated with him and kicked him away.
This loosened kick created an opportunity for Tom. He freed one hand, then grabbed the leg that had kicked Bozi and, with a roar, forcefully twisted it.
With a loud snap, the giant cockroach's right foreleg was broken off by him.
The pain caused the giant cockroach to slacken, allowing Tom to exert his strength and flip it over, pushing it away.
With its legs flailing in the air, the giant cockroach tried to flip itself back over. Tom was the first to climb up, grabbing its short leg with both hands and vigorously smashing it several times. Unfortunately, it was to no avail.
The front legs of a cockroach were the shortest and weakest, but what truly allowed a cockroach to move swiftly and even semi-jump were the two strong and spiky hind legs. With these two hind legs, it managed to flip itself back over and stand on all five legs again.
Tom was helpless. Activating strength mode limited his mobility, so he could only stand in place. Therefore, the two weak blows he had just made allowed the giant cockroach to regain its chance to flip over.
The giant cockroach flipped over and immediately crawled away to create distance. Then, it turned back, swiftly swinging its long antennae, quickly locking onto Tom's position, and then accelerating towards him.
At this moment, the mutated giant cockroach was like a speeding electric scooter. Tom planted both feet firmly, half-squatting with his body, hands spread open, firmly locking onto the oncoming mutated giant cockroach.
With a "bang," Tom's hands, with five times the strength, stopped the charging mutated giant cockroach in its tracks, halting it abruptly.
With the giant cockroach stopped, Tom raised his fist high and hammered down fiercely. The electric shock iron fist struck, high-voltage electricity hitting the giant cockroach's back, causing its body to tremble, pause visibly, and then be smashed to the ground.
Both of Tom's iron fists were lined with a layer of soft plastic. In addition to cushioning the recoil force of punches, it was also to prevent the current from reaching him. So after one punch, Tom continued with the second electric punch, striking five or six times in a row, finally rendering the mutated giant cockroach motionless on the ground.
Tom flipped it over, looking at its two hind legs twitching slightly, attempting to repeat the previous maneuver. Without hesitation, he pulled out a heavy and sharp short knife from behind. The knife was like a butcher's cleaver, chopping down fiercely and severing all five of its legs.
Its hard carapace was indeed tough, but the leg joints were unprotected. Easily shaved into bug sticks, Tom immediately brought the sharp knife close to its rapidly closing sharp mouthparts, forcefully stabbing into them, pressing his entire weight down, the handle of the knife disappearing into them, then he pressed and pried with both hands on the handle, prying open a long crack in its mouthparts.
Then, raising the sharp knife, he ruthlessly hacked down towards the crack, once, twice, chopping off more than half of the mutated giant cockroach's head from its mouth to its neck.
Without legs, without a head, even if the cockroach's vitality was stubborn, it was just a pile of dead meat. Watching the bodily fluids flowing all over the ground, Tom sat down heavily, his body completely drained of strength, unable to move even his fingers.
At this moment, Bozi ran over with his men, first undoing the hidden buckles, then removing Tom's helmet. What he saw was Tom's exhausted face covered in sweat.
"It's done, Tom, that was amazing! Hahaha!" Bozi laughed loudly.
Unbuckling the armor, Tom crawled out, drenched from head to toe, looking like he had just been pulled out of the water. Bringing a can of water for Tom to drink, it was saline water, which helped quickly replenish the lost water and salt in his body. Meanwhile, Skinny led four men to start dissecting the body of the mutated giant cockroach.
"How was it? Any insights? I see your strength is more than enough to deal with this big guy," Bozi pointed to the mutated giant cockroach whose head had been chopped off by Tom, its bodily fluids flowing all over the ground, and the others were already dissecting this body.
"When dealing with such big creatures, as long as the opponent's strength is not much higher than mine, I will definitely have the advantage, after all, I have weapons besides my fists. But if it's more agile creatures, like rats, flies, or mutated mosquitoes, that would be troublesome."
Bozi thought for a while, nodded again and again, "This is the truth, but it takes time to switch between the two modes. Can you say that you can take care of it at the same time?"
Tom shook his head. He saw that others were prying open the belly of the mutant big cockroach. "No, there is no better way to go back. , Follow your ability of your power. "
Bozi can strengthen its strength to 2.5 times with red crystals, while Tom can reach 4.5 times, and Bozi can only reach 3 times with large crystal. On the contrary, his legs were strengthened. With large crystal, it could achieve 5.5 times the effect, but Tom was only 3 times. The speed and steering sensitivity of the running were nearly half.
Therefore, Bozi is better at the speed war, and his combat armor naturally needs to build this special director.
"Oh, then I look forward to your performance with the old iron man. Hey, they seem to dig out good things, go, look at it." Bozi said his hand to reach Tom, Tom grabbed his hand and pulled his hand. Standing up, the two walked towards the mutant big cockroaches.
It is another large crystal. This crystal is a little larger than Tom's old street zero armor. The thin seeds wiped off a part of the mucus with a cloth, and the color could not be seen without light transmission.
Tom started the ruby on his arm and carried this big guy to the toilet, others continued to find the body of a mutant cockroach to dig.
The pot of water in front of the toilet door was still there, and Tom put it in the water and washed, and then raised it, "Blue, a bit interesting!"
So a big blue crystal, Tom was the first time, he tried to start the stealth effect, and the shadow under his feet disappeared immediately, but just took two steps with the big crystal, and the shadow appeared immediately, which showed that his stealth effect was also invalid. It's right.
Tom sighed. It seems that this stealth is not strengthened because of the larger crystal volume, and it does not achieve the "stealth" effect that can also be invisible without the thin movement of thinness.
He put down the large crystal, drilled into the bathroom, and climbed up in front of the bathtub. The drowned corpse in the bathtub had only one skeleton. It's right.
Cockroaches are generally not easily waded, so he judged that the maggots floating in the water grew up and became flies, licked the body, and then caught the opportunity to eat by the cockroaches.
Some broken shells were found under the bathtub to confirm Tom's guess, which should be the body of the mutant flies left by cockroaches.
The fly licking the corpse that did not completely become smaller, and then condensed blue crystals in the body, and cockroaches ate mutant flies. This explains why the biggest mutation cockroach is dug in large blue crystals instead of red or green.
Then the remaining five mutant cockroaches are likely to dig out blue crystals.
At present, Tom's most urgent need is a large number of red crystals, followed by green crystals, but blue, which is not very useful.
Through several days of testing, six awakers were screened.
This includes Uncle Wei's grandson: Tianzai, Tom called him Xiaotian, the full name is Qi Xiangtian. And Uncle Wei's name is Qi Zhiwei.
When the power is activated, the crystal in my hand will glow. Xiaotian resonated with blue crystal, but they did not find what Xiaotian's ability was. He didn't even be like Xiaomei. At least he could become human -shaped bulbs. No reaction was.
Considering the metal shaping ability of the old iron residue, maybe Xiaotian's power is more special, but it has not been explored, so Tom divided him a large blue gem to let him carry it 24 hours a day. The true face of power.
Then there was the uncle who was good at steamed bowel powder, Zhou Georong.
The crystal that resonates with him is a green crystal. According to the information of the redemption and asylum, it is also called controlling crystal.
At the beginning, he didn't find out what his ability was, but when he took the emerald for dinner, a wonderful thing happened.
He could actually control the burning flame. Under his control, the flame could be suddenly strengthened in a short time, condensed into dark blue high temperature flames, and could quickly weaken the flame and even go out.
It is a pity that he cannot produce flames on his own, and can only control the flames that have been burned. In addition, his own physical fitness is a bit bad, and his legs and feet are not very flexible, so this very potential power cannot be used in the battle in the short term.
But in his best cooking, he can shine. Relying on this ability to control the strength of the flames, coupled with his deep cooking skills, it makes the heat control very well during the cooking, so that the dishes made are very delicious, so that the entire camps are praised.
Later, it was thin, Wang Sanli's "stealth" capacity.
The remaining two are the same as Xiaomei. The resonance is the yellow crystal, and it is turned into a human -shaped bulb, which makes Tom helpless ... It seems that the effect of the yellow crystal is not great.
The last one is the eight -year -old girl who has been raped by Zeng Thirteen. The name is Liu Lexuan. The crystal of resonance is blue crystal. The power effect is also unknown.
Tom thought for a while, more than a hundred people in the camp, the ability to fight outside, was with Bozi, and the sneak of the skinny Wang Sanli was at most half of the combat power.
Therefore, in addition to the improvement of the old street after returning, the production of the first armor of the old street of Bozi will also be on the agenda.
Just as he was thinking about the production direction of the old street one, Bozi took the Ma Tsai to drag five black crystals and walked over.
