Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills-Chapter 178 - Obstruction, Large Insects

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After suppressing this group of insect monsters, Zhou Chen punched them from afar and used the Eight Desolates True Energy to scatter them like fireworks.

During this process, many insects even triggered the Freeze. Their bodies that had just been hit were stained with white frost, and they crashed on the ground.

“My power is too weak. I can’t even kill an insect with one strike. I really need to find time to train.”

Although he had basically crippled that group of insects with a single punch, Zhou Chen felt very displeased. He realized that he had to speed up his training. freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Zhou Chen punched the insects a few more times in the air and turned them all into ice shards. Then, he continued deeper into the city.

After walking for a while, he encountered a few more waves of black flying insects and quickly dealt with them.

“This city is really finished. I don’t sense any living people even now. There are very few corpses as well.”

After walking for a while, Zhou Chen still did not find any survivors, but he finally saw a few corpses. As he had expected, the insects did not even let go of the bones when they ate the corpses, so he did not see a complete corpse. He only saw some remains that were bitten into pieces.

“Even some buildings and vehicles look like they were bitten. These insects have really strong teeth.”

“But they only seem to be interested in living things.”

When he was checking a room after killing the insects, he realized that half a roasted chicken was still left on the table. The insects ignored this protein source and only devoured the human who was eating the roasted chicken. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

This was a good thing for Zhou Chen. It meant that he could find food here. But correspondingly, this also made him think that since these insects only ate living things, where would they go after they were finished with this city?

“I feel that the location of my shelter is not good. It’s too close to these insects. If they run over, that place might be destroyed in the blink of an eye.”

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen had the thought of finding another place to build a shelter. After all, why would he take the unnecessary risk and stand beside a collapsing wall. These monsters were too dangerous. Only a person like him, who was covered in passive skills, would not be afraid.

Zhou Chen searched for food while exploring this tragic city. He mainly collected things that could store for a long time like salt, sugar, and canned food. He placed them in a good pickup truck that he found on the street.

He drove the pickup truck to the center of the city and killed many insects along the way. It did not take long for him to finish gathering supplies. Apart from food, he also found some clothes and a water purifier.

“The supplies are gathered, I think I can go back now.”

Zhou Chen had come this time to check the situation and collect some things. He had basically achieved his goal.

However, as if the insects wanted to stop him from leaving, after driving for a few minutes, a large group of insects charged over. There were so many of them that it looked like a curtain of darkness had fallen over the street.

“Are you guys still not done?”

Zhou Chen immediately stopped the truck and charged forward. He did not want the supplies he had collected to be damaged by the battle.

His method of dealing with this group of monsters was similar to before. He relied on the Suppression to weaken them and then bombarded them with the Eight Desolates True Energy, dealing high physical damage and inflicting freezing effects.

This method was quite efficient, but it was not foolproof. After all, there were too many insects. A small portion of them would be lucky enough to reach Zhou Chen.

If others were approached by these insects, it would basically be the end. This was because they were extremely aggressive and had very powerful bodies. They could forcibly enter a person’s body and destroy it.

However, Zhou Chen did not have this concern. Because the enhancement of his various defensive passive skills made his body stronger than steel, these insects could not break through his defense. Moreover, he had the Shield passive skill to prevent them from drilling into his orifices.

There were more insects than ever before, so it took Zhou Chen more than ten minutes to finish them off.

This would have originally consumed a lot of energy, but because of the Feast passive skill which gave him life steal-like ability, his stamina remained at its peak state.

As long as he injured these insects, a portion of their lost vitality would be transferred to him to heal and recover his stamina.

Because his defense was not broken, he only felt the effect of stamina restoration, allowing him to maintain his peak combat state.

Speaking of which, the passive skill, Feast, came from the very insects he was killing. However, due to the difference in their strength, he was the only one triggering the Feast skill, making him feel that this was akin to giving someone a taste of their own medicine.

“It’s finally done.” After ten minutes or so, Zhou Chen killed the insects and returned to his pickup.

Before he could reach the pickup, however, the ground started shaking slightly. Bloodthirst’s perception revealed that several large targets were approaching at high speed from underground.

“There are other monsters?”

Zhou Chen was instantly alert. He turned and ran away from the pickup truck again.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three consecutive loud bangs sounded. The ground of the cement street exploded three times. Three large insects with ferocious shapes similar to mantises crawled out of the ground. They were completely black and were the size of adult buffaloes, but their bodies were longer and looked very ferocious.

“Oh, are they bosses coming to avenge their subordinates?”

Zhou Chen immediately guessed when he saw these large insects surrounding him. His senses were telling him that the three insects were quite strong, making him feel some danger. Therefore, he immediately entered a highly vigilant state.

After the three insect monsters that looked like dark mantises surrounded Zhou Chen, they observed him for half a second with the bulging eyes on their triangular heads before charging towards him at an astonishing speed!

Zhou Chen immediately dodged to the side and punched the head of one of them with the Eight Desolates True Energy.

However, these dark insect monsters were not only fast, but their agility was also terrifying.. The insect that Zhou Chen had used his true energy to attack dodged Zhou Chen’s attack and charged towards him.
