EN1MP 28

Dear Readers, 
Unfortunately after much consideration, I decided to move the EN1MP release to Patreon due to a few reasons from February. The public access (once a week rate) and Patreon's advance chapter system will still remain the same as now. So don't panic if a chapter is locked on Patreon, it will be unlocked to public at slower pace. For more details, go to Reader Page.




Chapter 28

Zergs - a creature that made all the empires in the universe shudder!

This creature was naturally strong and could travel in the universe without any tools! They were crazy and bloodthirsty, brave and warlike, and they liked to devour all kinds of life forms and energy substances.

Wherever they passed, bones were everywhere and no grass grew.

Even energy ores and various precious minerals buried thousands or even tens of thousands of meters underground would be dug out and eaten by them!

Only a desolate planet full of debris was left and lingered on.

It would take more than ten years, or even hundreds of years, to fully recover.

More importantly, due to the strong reproductive capacity of the Zerg, a Zerg queen could give birth to thousands of Zerg warriors in a short period of time to fight for it. Meaning it was particularly difficult to deal with!

At the same time, there were other candidates like Fang Shaoyuan's group, who encountered Zerg…

Some people were chased by the Zerg and fled, some gritted their teeth and fought hard, and some immediately contacted the instructor, wanting to wait for rescue. However, when the call was made, there was no instructor to answer the call. There was only the busy tone in the intelligent brain, which made people despair…

The huge Zergs, like a tide, followed closely behind Fang Shaoyuan’s group. The long-legged green-winged insects flapped their wings constantly and waved their sickle-like forelimbs. They baring their teeth and claws. On their triangular heads, the big compound eyes fixed at Fang Shaoyuan's group. Their crazy and bloodthirsty appearance seemed to want to tear off two pieces of meat from Fang Shaoyuan's group!

"What should we do? The instructor's communicator can't be connected at all... With so many Zergs, what should we do now? Will they catch up with us?" Su Wanqiu laid on the back of the huge Gale Silver Wolf tightly, her body pressed tightly, her face paled, and her whole body trembled.

The combat power of a low-level Zerg was equivalent to that of a B-level beastman. While the intermediate Zerg spotted black beetle required at least an A-level beastman alone. If they had more people, it would be fine. However, they only have 4 people now, and the Zergs following behind them were more than dozens, or even hundreds!

Once surrounded, the only thing waiting for the four of them was death!

Su Wanqiu's heart was about to jump to her throat. She grabbed the Gale Silver Wolf's back hair tightly, fearing that the Gale Silver Wolf was too fast and would throw her off  and leaving no trace of her body.

"Something big must have happened in the exam this time, otherwise it would be impossible for high-level mutated beasts and Zergs to appear at the same time!" Su Wanqiu bit her lips tightly. Cold wind poured into her throat as her mind quickly thought of ways to help solve the problem... 

However, as a student of the pharmacy department, she had low combat effectiveness and didn't have any potions that could deal with Zerg. She had no way to help solve the Zerg or even affect the other party. 

When they were studying in school in the past, these students had only seen these crazy and terrifying creatures in textbooks and video materials and had never seen real Zerg. The unique stench of Zerg kept drilling into Su Wanqiu's nose, making her forehead sweat. 

"Sha sha sha-" The sound of the flapping wings and the sound of the striped black beetle crawling across the ground were like a terrifying death warrant. The scalp of the listener was numb as the sound gradually approached... 

The Gale Silver Wolf panted and quickly sprinted. The other two giant beasts beside him also gritted their teeth and accelerated. They must not let these Zerg catch up with them! ……

Ye Wenya's group were unable to transform into beast forms, so their speed was naturally slow.

Fortunately, the resting camp wasn’t too far from where the three of them were, otherwise they might not be able to reach the resting camp until tomorrow morning.

Along the way, the three of them were extremely silent and didn't say anything. Only the busy tone of Pan Mu's continuous dialing of the instructor's communication device echoed in the empty forest.

Since half of the medicinal materials on them had been refined and with the ones that were completely destroyed by the three-headed hellhound earlier, there was space for a cat. Ye Wenya put Xiao Hei in the backpack behind her and reached out to rub the soft little head of the black cat.

Two furry black paws climbed on Ye Wenya's shoulders. The black cat listened carefully to the various noises in the jungle with its ears erect. The jungle at night was full of dangers. Even when they had powerful potions to protect themselves, they had to be careful. 

"Sha sha sha..." 

In the dark forest, the rustling sound from a distance immediately made the black cat's ears move alertly. The black cat half got out of the backpack, raised his little head, and stared at the direction where the sound came from. His cat face was completely serious. 

"Awoo!..." The black cat howled. In the deep blue cat pupils, three figures jumped and ran quickly in the forest. They were charging toward them! At the same time, behind the three figures, there were also a series of black shadows chasing them at high speed.

Under the bright moonlight, the ferocious appearance of the green-winged insect flapping its wings and waving its forelimb sickle and the hard and shiny reflection of the black beetles instantly made the black cat scream.

"Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!..." The agitated cat cry instantly startled Ye Wenya's group who were making their way.

The three of them hurriedly stopped and turned their heads to look in the direction of the black cat's warning.

The black figures fleeing from behind was very fast. In just a blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was less than 100 meters. The Zerg following behind was even more black and dense and made people shake with fear.

"It's Fang Shaoyuan, Cao Mo and the others!"

As classmates, they have been in contact for two years. Bai Xia and Pan Mu have naturally seen Fang Shaoyuan and Cao Mo in their beast forms. In addition, Su Wanqiu, who was lying on the back of the Gale Silver Wolf, made Bai Xia and Pan Mu recognize the identities of the other party in the first instance.

"Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!..."

The black cat rushed out of Ye Wenya's backpack in a hurry, howling hard, and slapped Ye Wenya's shoulder with its tail with agitation. Was Fang Shaoyuan's group wwas he wanted to see? ! He wanted them to see what was following the four people!

Putting aside Ye Wenya, an ordinary person who couldn't transform into a beast, the two guys who could obviously transform into a beast and have a significantly improved visual effect. How come they not notice that the other four people were followed by a large group of Zerg swarms?!

Xiao Chen's expression was ugly and was quite anxious. His ears were subconsciously folded into an airplane shape. Xiao Chen had never expected that the Zergs who fought with him at that time would follow him through the wormhole to arrive here.

How could so many Zergs come to this planet with him? He clearly remembered that the entrance of the wormhole wasn’t big at that time!

"Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!..." The black cat howled loudly, slapping its claws hard, trying to let Ye Wenya's group notice the abnormality behind the four people on the opposite side and leave quickly.

However, only when Fang Shaoyuan's group ran over here did Bai Xia and Pan Mu soon discovered the Zergs following closely behind them!

"Hmm? Look what's following behind the four of them?"

"Zergs! It’s Zergs!"

"Green-winged insects and black beetles! ****, how can such things appear in the exam?!"

Bai Xia widened his eyes in panic, and almost couldn't help cursing immediately. He subconsciously looked at Ye Wenya, who was standing next to him with a cold face, and asked: "Classmate Ye, what should we do now?"

Pan Mu stood at the side, holding a laser sword and a particle gun in his hands. Although he didn't speak, he was also waiting for Ye Wenya's proposal.

After a whole day, Bai Xia and Pan Mu had already regarded Ye Wenya as their leader and waited for the other's orders.

Although the Zergs was called Zergs, their size wasn’t small at all. And their running speed was not inferior to that of hoofed beasts. Because of the characteristics of some Zerg, they could even fly and their speed was far faster than ordinary beasts. Bai Xia and Pan Mu couldn't transform into beasts. Even if they ran desperately, they couldn't beat the crazy and bloodthirsty Zerg behind them!

Ye Wenya's face was cold. Almost at the first sight of the Zerg, her mental power was affected by a special aura!

It was a dark aura that was very similar to the mutated beasts, but much stronger than the mutated beasts! She didn't expect that these Zergs were also dark-matter-corroded-bodies.

"Try this..."

Ye Wenya quickly took out a small brown potion from her backpack and handed it to Bai Xia. The brown powder swayed back and forth in the transparent potion bottle.

"This is insect repellent powder. Try it and see if it works..."

As an alternated world visitor who had never come into contact with the interstellar Zerg, she could only deal with it according to her imagination the first time.

"En!"

Bai Xia nodded and hurriedly sprinkled the powder on himself, Pan Mu, and Ye Wenya.  Bai Xia also carefully sprinkled some on the little black cat.

The brown powder had a pungent smell. Just after it was sprinkled, Fang Shaoyuan's group, who were originally a hundred meters away, and the small group of Zerg had already reached Ye Wenya's group.

Fang Shaoyuan's group had almost no hesitation. They just stared at them in astonishment, wondering why they didn't run away at all. Then they jumped away from Ye Wenya and fled desperately toward the camp.

The green-winged insects following closely behind the four people, waving their huge sickles on their forelimbs, found a new target at the same time.

The flesh and blood of the beastmen contained a lot of energy, which was one of the favorite foods of the Zerg.

They waved their forelimbs, flicked their tentacles, and approached Ye Wenya's group.

But just as these Zergs were about to approach Ye Wenya’s trio and one beast, a huge unpleasant smell suddenly rushed into the Zerg's olfactory organs, making them feel uncomfortable all over. They felt a dizziness suddenly rushing up, causing them to instinctively bypass the trio and chase the four people in front again.

"Sha, sha, sha..."

Several black beetles waved their front legs unwillingly, trying to devour the prey in front of them, but the unpleasant smell always made them unwilling to approach. So they could only circle around two meters away from the trio with anger and unwilling roars.

Bai Xia quietly opened his eyes that were closed due to shock and saw this rather funny scene in front of him. He was relieved and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

Ye Wenya looked serious, raised her hand, and quickly took out the high-level explosive fire potion that had just been used to deal with the level 7 mutated beast from her backpack.

"Boom boom boom——"

The blazing flames instantly jumped up high. Ye Wenya directly sprinkled the potion on a nearby black beetle.

"Sizzle!——"

The black beetle was sizzling in the flames, struggling and kicking its legs, as it screamed in pain. It even bumped into an ancient pine tree next to it. Bai Xia, who was standing next to it, was delighted, but Ye Wenya frowned tightly. This black beetle was alive and kicking after burning for such a long time. This was too incredible!
