Blood Warlock: Succubus Partner In The Apocalypse Chapter 32

No one knew exactly how it happened as everyone’s attention was completely fixed on the mysteriousactions of Bai Zemin and the disappearance and appearance of Shangguan Bing Xue. However, at thismoment, the little giant Liang Peng was lying on the ground, sitting on his butt while looking at the giantbeetle in surprise.

“What happened?” Shangguan Bing Xue broke the awkward silence and asked with a small frown.

Liang Peng didn’t answer her and instead jumped off the ground as he shouted loudly, “Damn it! Thisbeetle’s shell is so hard that even with my strength and hammer I can’t break it!”

Those survivors who were enduring the urge to laugh when they saw Liang Peng on the ground turnedpale when they heard this.

Liang Peng had been unconsciously considered as the person with the most physical strength in thewhole group because of his huge hammer and the ease with which he wielded it. However, as one ofthe strongest in the group, even he could not break through this beetle’s defenses.

What did it mean not to be able to break through the enemy’s defenses? It meant that in the event of abattle, it was only a matter of time before he would have to retreat in defeat or be killed.

Then, if a creature on the level of this giant beetle appeared, Liang Peng might have a chance to flee.However, they were all weak people with average stats; if they were left to their fate it would only be amatter of time before they died miserably.

Many young female students could not help but burst into tears again, realizing how dangerous theworld was now and how little life was worth.

“That big man looks like he graduated from a fool’s college.” Lilith couldn’t help but giggle softly as sheplayed with her hair.

Bai Zemin frowned slightly at the growing fear of the survivors. At this rate, all his plans would fly outthe window before they were even put into action.

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Zemin slowly walked towards Liang Peng and stretched out his righthand as he calmly said, “Can you lend me your hammer for a moment?”

“What do you want it for?” Liang Peng looked at him suspiciously. His impression of Bai Zemin was notvery good at this point after what happened earlier in the gymnasium.

“Just to see if I can break through the beetle’s defenses. Don’t worry, I’ll get it back to you right away.”Bai Zemin looked at him seriously and assured him.

Liang Peng looked at him as if he was an idiot and was about to say something when suddenly an ideaflashed in his mind. With a strange smile, he raised his hammer and handed it to Bai Zemin, “Here.”

“Thank you.” Bai Zemin nodded and stretched his hand forward.

When Bai Zemin’s hand came into contact with the hammer’s handle, Liang Peng scoffed and releasedhis grip. However, the scene of Bai Zemin being sent to the ground by the weight of the hammer did nothappen, unlike what Liang Peng was imagining in his mind.

“Uh?”

“Look! Bai Zemin can also hold Liang Peng’s big hammer!”

“Not only that, he’s doing it with one hand!”

Some people began to whisper softly amidst the sound of sobbing.

Chen He also blinked in surprise at Bai Zemin’s physical strength. On the other hand, Shangguan BingXue’s blue eyes flashed as if she had finally confirmed her earlier theory.

[Skull Breaking Hammer (Normal Treasure): A hammer over 2 meters long created with a metal calledAtium. It weighs 300 kilograms and is capable of crushing a medium sized vehicle with ease if itswielder has enough power to wield it. When equipped, +20 Strength.]

The hammer was bright blue in color and while it brought the same amount of Strength as Bai Zemin’sXuanyuan Sword, it was obvious from reading the description and seeing the difficulties of lifting thehammer that his sword was superior in every aspect.

Bai Zemin took a big step forward as he lifted the hammer with his single healthy hand and, afterraising his right arm above his head with the hammer pointing towards the sky, his 85 Strength pointsfully burst out as he smashed with all his power downwards.

The weight of the hammer together with Bai Zemin’s total Strength being equivalent to almost ninenormal people before the evolution caused a loud bang as a result of the sudden movement.

Boom!

After a loud boom and a small shockwave, several students could not help but fall to the ground asthey lost their balance when the ground beneath their feet shook from the great weight of the weaponand the force with which it was used.

Everyone could not help but suck in a breath of cold air at the thought of what would happen if thatstrike landed on them. Wouldn’t they be crushed into meat paste? Forget about them, even a normalhouse would collapse!

Bai Zemin looked at the cracks in the giant elephant beetle’s shell and nodded seemingly satisfied. Heturned to look at Liang Peng, who was stunned looking at the cracked shell and said casually, “It reallyis tough. It looks like I can’t break it. Here, thanks for your hammer.”

After picking up the hammer, Liang Peng couldn’t help but reach over and touch the place where BaiZemin had just banged.

Crack… Crack… Bang!

As if that was all that was necessary, when Liang Peng’s hand came in contact with the shell, over fiftycentimeters of the shell dropped to the ground, revealing the flesh and bloody cracks inside.

“This… Wasn’t Bai Zemin supposed to be an evolved Agility type? Besides, his Strength is evensuperior to Liang Peng’s?” Chen He was dumbfounded as he looked at the ground split by the weightof the beetle, the weight of the hammer, and the heavy blow Bai Zemin had just made.

“Who knows. Even I haven’t shown everything yet. Come, an idea occurred to me,” Shangguan BingXue shook her head slightly before walking towards Bai Zemin and Liang Peng,

“I guess everyone hides their own secrets.” Chen He nodded. He followed Shangguan Bing Xue and ashe looked at her back he couldn’t help but think under his breath, “Although I wish you trusted meenough to not have secrets…”

…

“Then…” Bai Zemin looked at Shangguan Bing Xue and said with a somewhat surprised tone, “Youwant us to use the beetle meat as food?”

Shangguan Bing Xue nodded indifferently and continued, “The energy called Mana empowers theliving beings in the world. Then, it is likely that the giant beetle’s meat also contains some remainingMana. I assume that the probabilities that it is beneficial to the human body are high and it is also agood source of food.”

Apart from the four main leaders, Cai Jinyi was also present as she had demonstrated good ideasduring the early days of the evolutionary apocalypse. Meanwhile, the other survivors were inside thepharmacy looking for and storing as much medicine and medical utilities simple to move; in this worldwhere unwanted surprises awaited in every corner, it was unlikely that social order would beestablished soon and the laboratories in charge of producing medicine would not be in operation either.Therefore, it was best to get as much as possible now that they had the opportunity to do so.

“I think it’s a good idea.” Chen He agreed without hesitation.

Bai Zemin secretly sneered. As Shangguan Bing Xue’s suitor, it was natural for Chen He to agree withwhatever she said.

Liang Peng and Cai Jingyi also agreed with her suggestion. Not only could they obtain a source offood, but they could also fortify the body by consuming the monster’s meat. After all, the reason for theapocalypse was not a virus; the reason why everything changed was caused by the Mana!

After some discussion, the five people finally came to the conclusion that they should first secure thesurroundings and get some tools to take care of the elephant beetle’s flesh: in the meantime, themonster’s body could only stay here. No one was worried about the meat suddenly going bad becauseas an energy booster, the Mana was doing a good job.

Thirty minutes later, the group left the practically collapsed area and continued advancing in anorthwesterly direction. Although there was still medicine left in the pharmacy, there were 2 survivorscarrying 2 big backpacks each and some plastic bags full of all kinds of medicines.

The next point the group was aiming for was a nearby restaurant in search of food, being this place notonly the closest but also the one that was relatively less ringed by buildings in comparison, facilitatingthe vision of the surroundings, mobility, and preventing them from being trapped in case a large groupof zombies appeared without warning.

Inside a three-story building that used to hold classes in the past, two people were hiding next to thewindow looking out at the restaurant fifty meters distant.

This building that had previously been used to hold classes had now become a hellhole. Blood stainswere everywhere, tables and chairs turned carelessly over, doors broken… The whole place was as if ahurricane had swept through it during the night and the only two people alive were these two hiddenpeople.

Three days had passed since the last time they had eaten something and finally, hunger was beginningto overcome their sense of fear.
