I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 870 - 960: What? You All Encountered Danger on the Way? But We Didn’t Face Any Danger
At first, everyone didn’t take this swamp seriously. Even if a teammate got stuck, just hearing its name didn’t feel dangerous at all!
Swamp, swamp, as long as you don’t step in it, you won’t get stuck. Even if it’s a bit eerie, made of glue, as long as you stand far away, you won’t fall in, right? Could this swamp actually eat people?
But now, everyone senses something is off—the swamp even swallowed up the wary Code Seven. What on earth is going on?
"We can’t just leave them, right?"
"But the problem now is whoever goes in gets stuck, what do we do?"
"We can’t just watch them die, can we?"
The Elite Bodyguard Team is in an argument; they can’t not save them, but saving them means going to their deaths.
Jing Shu’s team continues to advance. Inside the vehicle, Big Yellow Teeth hears this news and feels troubled. He frowns and speaks into the walkie-talkie:
"How about using an excavator, digging all the members out along with the mud?"
Captain No.16: "It’s no use. This should be a swamp filled with Dark Energy. It’s uncuttable, a whole piece.
Once absorbed into the swamp, there’s no getting out,
and the strangest thing is, even though my body didn’t touch the swamp, when I used something to touch it, it moved like it was alive, and suddenly the area around us turned into a swamp."
Team 4: "What should we do? The area ahead looks like the swamp you described. Should we wait where we are?"
Almost drowned Team 6: "I just heard the Taoist’s voice. Your subordinates are Zombie People, they don’t need to breathe. Could they lift us? We’re about to be submerged!"
This is a matter of life and death, currently, Big Yellow Teeth’s zombie troops have the lowest trial cost.
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
"Taoist, please, think of a way to save the people!"
"Yeah, zombie New Humans don’t need to breathe, even if they fall, at least they won’t die."
Big Yellow Teeth hesitated for a moment, then agreed since Old Zhou had also spoken. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Jing Shu, upon hearing about this magical swamp, actually wanted to test it herself. Such an eerie existence must have energy. It’s just that they’re too far from the big swamp now, and the center of the island is more likely to have good stuff!
However, she had a few ideas—
And happened to ask Big Yellow Teeth to realize them.
"I think it’s a long shot for your zombies to save people without breathing. How about I give you some extended breathing tubes for diving, you can have them insert them into the mouths of the sunken people, so even if they sink, at least they can still breathe. Then I’ll give you some tools to try out."
Big Yellow Teeth’s eyes lit up, giving a thumbs up: "That’s why you’re the Captain Jing!"
As for why Captain Jing would have such strange things like extended breathing tubes for diving, Big Yellow Teeth was almost numb to the surprise. He just wanted to ask Captain Jing what she didn’t have.
Soon, Big Yellow Teeth’s zombie members received some odd items and arrived at the location of the sunken team members.
To avoid total losses, the zombie members split into several groups and reached different fallen Elite Bodyguard Team members.
"Why are there only one or two people coming over?"
"And they didn’t bring any powerful tools, this is doomed, the zombies are just here to die too."
"Sigh. It’s hopeless, waiting for death."
As despairing conversations continued to come through the walkie-talkie, everyone’s hearts tightened. At first, they wanted to see if Big Yellow Teeth’s zombie members could save them, but never expected the zombies to scatter in different directions.
Indeed.
"Damn, the zombies are stuck as well, can’t move at all."
"I told you, the zombies are here to die too."
But then in the next second—
"Oh my gosh, the zombie gave me an extra long breathing tube."
"Incredible, I thought I was going to die, but then this twist, I’ve got a few more hours to live."
"This tube is so long, even if I’m buried under the swamp, it should still allow me to breathe from the surface. Seriously, where did the Taoist get such professional stuff?"
"My zombie here actually has a vacuum formed around it, it can isolate the swamp?!"
"What? The zombie can enter and exit the swamp freely? Found a way out?"
"Not really, this zombie is also stuck, but it has a vacuum around it, allowing movement. The swamp’s mud didn’t submerge it, this feels familiar—"
As chatter continued over the walkie-talkie, many realized that the Taoist’s zombies had entered carrying Air Walls!
Although they couldn’t avoid being directly absorbed by the swamp, the zombies could create a vacuum beneath it! This allowed free movement within the swamp!
"Brilliant, which genius thought of this?"
"Yeah, though they can’t escape the swamp, at least they can survive easily now!"
"Quick, who else has that Air Wall, bring more to save people. And bring me some food, I’m starving."
For a moment, everyone was quite excited, seeing a way out of the dilemma, but the Old Taoist said there were no more Air Walls left:
"Sorry everyone, all these ideas came from Captain Jing Shu, as did the Air Walls, but we’re still deep in the island."
"Then hurry and come rescue us."
"Yeah, save us and then we can explore the island together."
Just then, Jing Shu’s voice suddenly came through the satellite walkie-talkie:
"Sorry everyone, please stay put and await rescue. We’re probably not coming because we’ve reached the island’s core area and might have encountered the island’s secret."
Hearing this, Old Zhou’s voice immediately followed: "You’ve reached the island’s core? Why didn’t our drones make it past the swamp and got swallowed?"
Other surviving teams immediately responded: "Yes, no matter how we go, there’s a huge swamp ahead. We took a long time trying to find a way around it. We encountered various dangers on the way."
"How did you navigate through such a vast swamp?"
"Based on our drones and sketches, we’ve deduced that the heart of the island is surrounded by a swamp with no way in, and we almost got swallowed!"
The Old Taoist made a heart-wrenching comment: "Huh? But we’ve had a smooth journey over a hundred miles without facing any danger or seeing any swamp you described."
