Invaders

Tom had originally speculated that Yang Caishan's ability usage was not without restraint, but he couldn't believe it would be such a limitation.

The use of time is linked to one's own physiological period, which is a strange ability.

Since Yang Caishan spoke up, she naturally hoped that he would provide cover. He looked at the embarrassed expression of the former female celebrity and couldn't help but sigh.

I heard that when women are in their menstrual period, they often experience emotional instability and discomfort such as abdominal pain. It's just like this situation, she still has to follow out and carry out tasks, which is really difficult for her.

So he nodded and instructed her to go to the innermost corner.

It's even darker there, which is currently the most convenient place for her in the small castle.

Then he walked out and called for two men, with one hand resting on their shoulders, and pulled them to the door to find a topic to chat about.

During this period, Zhao Xin may have been a bit worried about Yang Caishan and wanted to turn back to find her, but Tom forced him to hold his head down and prevent him from turning back. Yuan Feipeng beside him laughed heartily, as if he had understood Tom's intentions.

In the corner, Yang Caishan, who was only protected by limited shadows, accelerated her speed and became so red that her face almost turned into an electric light bulb in the castle.

She had already prepared special tissues for her menstrual period in her waist bag, and quickly changed them after convenient use.

Nevertheless, she still felt very ashamed.

After all, even if the three men at the door don't look back, they are still in the same room as her, which is like doing private things in front of men for her.

After tossing and turning, there were still difficulties in cleaning up, but at this point they really had no conditions and could only choose to rest as much as possible by the door.

Due to the castle being located in the corner of the warehouse and high walls, after the night had completely fallen, the already dimly lit castle was pitch black, making it difficult to see with a single hand. They can never be at the door when they sleep. If a black dog wakes up and a black tiger takes care of themselves, it's all over.

So they can only hide in the corner next to the door, which is also beyond the reach of the black dog's paws.

Among the three men, Yang Caishan also trusted Tom the most and naturally chose to be next to him.

However, even so, Tom still had to arrange for three men to take turns on duty and stand guard. As long as you leave the shelter, there is no absolutely safe place, so there must be someone rotating while sleeping.

The night was relatively calm, and until morning, the black dog outside remained motionless, as if dead. Only the slightly undulating belly told them that it was still alive and could swallow them one by one at any time.

Zhao Xin raised a question, is this big guy just guarding them like that and doesn't need to eat?

However, Tom told him that he had found some blue liquid in the body of a mutated dog, the same color as the blue crystal dug out from the dog's body. Tom speculates that the mutated crystals may provide basic nutrients for the mutants.

And yesterday, the black dog only ate a person, "mooncake.".

Tom has reason to believe that it doesn't matter if this black dog doesn't eat for several days.

This is not good news for them because they cannot eat crystals as food, and the food Zhao Xin brings with him is probably only enough for them to eat for a day.

Yuan Feipeng suggested that the three of them use acceleration to escape, but Zhao Xin told him that according to his training materials in the Awakener Squad, the mutated creature can sense the surrounding humans even when it falls asleep. If it harbors hostility towards humans, it should never approach. It will suddenly wake up from sleep and launch an attack.

This is the valuable experience gained by the exploration team of the shelter, who have paid multiple painful lessons.

And Tom also felt that even if they could run out of the factory while the black dog was asleep, it wouldn't be useful. Without an electric car, they couldn't run away from the group of mutated mice outside. But without bringing the engine back to the shelter, without Captain Kent, their return would have a disastrous outcome.

Kill the black dog while it sleeps?

Tom is currently uncertain, he must adjust that set of Jade Rabbit armor again.

So without any countermeasures, they could only continue to stay in this relatively safe but... somewhat smelly castle.

In addition to adjusting the armor, Tom also took out his shapeshifting knife and modified it. He peeled a part of the iron bars from the castle to continue making folding buckles and added them to the shapeshifting knife to increase its weight and hardness.

Zhao Xin was very interested in Tom's shapeable big knife, but he thought he wouldn't know how to use it, after all, he didn't understand hand to hand combat.

The deformation folding buckle structure is a delicate and complex task, but fortunately, Zhao Xin's two green crystals are enough for him to use. Finally, as night fell, Tom finally completed the weight gain production of the big knife.

The big knife is still the original one, but with an additional blade attached, it becomes larger, longer, thicker, and heavier.

The length has increased to 10 centimeters, and the widest part of the blade has reached 4 centimeters, which is equivalent to half a person's height. The weight has more than doubled, and with the strength of an ordinary person, it is more difficult to lift it, let alone wave it.

This is specifically made by Tom for the jade rabbit armor. The rear hanging part of the jade rabbit armor is very special, which can distribute the weight of the weapon to the buttocks of the armor, which is exactly within the range of speed enhancement.

So after Tom activates the speed mode, as long as he hangs the big knife behind him, he can start running. If held in hand, without increased arm strength, it will be very difficult.

When it is necessary to reduce the burden, activate the deformation mode, and the big knife will still be the original one. The additional blade can shrink, fold, and translate, ultimately becoming an asymmetric semi-circular shield.

It can be said that this set of weapons is already a combination weapon, truly implementing Tom's concept of "changing according to battlefield needs".

In order to do this, Tom used up all of Zhao Xin's two level 2 green crystals, which really made Zhao Xin suffer for a while.

On the third morning, there was still a handful of instant noodles left in their food, and the three men tacitly left it to Yang Caishan. This is not a good thing for them. Without food, they will starve to death.

For this reason, Tom decided to venture out in search of food, so with the help of Zhao Xin, he put on the jade rabbit type II armor with only a frame left and prepared to set off.

As a result, he had just walked to the door when the black dog, which had been sleeping on the ground for two days and nights, suddenly moved.

I saw it lift its head, turn its face towards the other side of the alley, quickly twitch its nose for a while, then suddenly get up and run.

This brought great joy to Zhao Xin and others, while Tom knew that things had changed. There must be some intruder appearing for this dog to leave.

So he suggested that he go scouting first to ensure safety before coming back and taking everyone away.

Then Tom, dressed in jade rabbit armor and carrying a separate shapeshifting combination knife, activated the speed mode and ran out of the castle. He left the warehouse along the alley and headed towards the office building where their electric bike had previously been parked.

The No. 1 truck, along with the heavy machine gun, has been crushed by the black dog, but the No. 3 truck and the No. 1 pickup truck are still intact. Their mission item, the engine, was also abandoned in place.

Tom searched the scene and soon discovered the bodies of vultures and pheasants that had been smashed by heavy machine guns.

There were already flies dancing on the corpse, but no mice or cockroaches were found.

Under the stairs outside the building, Tom found the body of Captain Kent. He was first hit in the neck by mooncakes, and then died on the spot with a headshot.

I could vaguely hear the barking of a dog in my ear, which was the sound made when the dog was fighting.

Tom listened for a moment, it seemed that other dogs had invaded. Black dogs had to abandon them to deal with intruders in order to maintain their territory.

This is a good opportunity. Tom wants to drive back to pick them up, but at this time he is wearing jade rabbit armor and has reached a height of 9 centimeters, but he cannot get into the carriage. If he took it off, it wouldn't be safe either, so he chose to run back to the castle, take them back, and drive away.

Zhao Xin and others in the castle were overjoyed to learn that the black dog had been lured away. So Tom hugged Yang Caishan and accelerated back to the office building with Zhao Xin and Yuan Feipeng.

As soon as I left the warehouse, I saw a thin figure struggling to move the engine into a handcart, trying to transport it away.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Feipeng stopped shouting loudly and rushed forward.

The engine is their ticket back, how could it be intercepted and taken away by someone?

Zhao Xin stopped first and said, "Stop, kid. Why did you steal our things?"

The eleven year old boy was black all over, with only a strip of cloth around his waist. The hair is very long, not even combed, allowing it to scatter.

Being scolded by Zhao Xin, he was very angry and said, "What do you mean by your things? I know now. They were sent by the hooligans from the bastard factory again, right? This is my family's property. You can't take my dad's treasure away!"

"Dad?" Tom was stunned. He felt that the child's face had been seen somewhere before, but now was not the time for a dispute. He asked Yang Caishan to get in the car first, and then he had to go forward to negotiate.

As a result, the child's face changed drastically and he pointed to the main road behind everyone, shouting, "No good, the bad guy Xiao Hei has returned, ah!"

Tom turned around and indeed saw the black dog running wildly all the way back, followed by a gray dog that was slightly smaller and seemed to have injuries on its body.

"Zhao Xin, take the child and leave. Yuan Feipeng, take Yang Caishan with you and go quickly!"

The two men hesitated for a moment and immediately followed his instructions. And he took a deep breath, looking at the running black dog, waiting for the upcoming battle.

They definitely can't run fast with their people, Tom has no other choice but to stay behind and cut the line. After all, he is the most powerful fighter among all.

I am not confident in dealing with the black dog alone, let alone a gray dog behind me.

Just as the black dog was approaching Tom, the gray dog behind suddenly accelerated and knocked it over.

The black dogs rolled and collided with the wall, but immediately stood up and pounced again.

A black and a gray dog fought in a ball, biting each other, and for a moment, the dog's mournful cries could not be stopped.

"Little gray, my little gray." The boy held by Zhao Xin struggled uncontrollably, "Let go of me, I want to go back and help my little gray."

Tom immediately realized that he finally understood why he felt this gray dog was a bit familiar.
