Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits - Chapter 150 - 133: Birth of the Lord
Chapter 150: Chapter 133: Birth of the Lord
The sound of the swarm of bees flapping their wings was unexpectedly gentle, unlike the irritating buzzing of a regular bee swarm.
Su Lin extended his arm, trying to give a command to one of the Beast Hunting Bees:
“Come here, stand on it.”
The Beast Hunting Bee seemed to understand human language, obediently flying down, its two pairs of slender limbs standing firmly on his arm, the wings stopping their motion.
This scene left the three people in amazement.
“It can really understand human speech!” Song Yiyi exclaimed excitedly in a low voice.
Su Tongxi watched, eyes revealing both curiosity and a hint of nervousness, her small hand eagerly raised.
Seeing this, Song Yiyi immediately grabbed her hand, smiling brightly:
“Xixi, let’s try too!”
With that, the two of them together extended their fair arms towards the swarm of bees.
“Come up and stand on it.”
Two more Beast Hunting Bees flew out in response, landing lightly on their arms.
The two girls widened their eyes in delight, carefully caressing the cold, metallic luster of the giant bee’s shell on their arms.
Su Lin touched the wings of the Beast Hunting Bee and discovered the secret of their low noise during flight.
Their wings were not only thick and resilient but also had special patterns on the surface, effectively streamlining airflow and significantly reducing turbulence and vortices, thus greatly minimizing noise.
Looking at the other giant bees hovering around, their wing vibration frequency was also far lower than that of ordinary bees.
“Born killers,” Su Lin remarked quietly.
This structure, capable of agile hovering and low-noise flight, coupled with those fearsome slender spikes, was a perfect design for silently hunting prey.
Unfortunately, the beast tide had passed today, and their combat effectiveness could not be witnessed in action immediately.
Su Lin placed the three chunks of beast meat harvested today into the brown feeding compartments of the hive, then ordered the swarm of bees to return to the nest to feed.
Thirty giant Beast Hunting Bees immediately demonstrated remarkable discipline, like well-trained soldiers, orderly flying back to their respective hive compartments.
They were so obedient, Su Lin was greatly satisfied, realizing the blueprint acquired for free was worth far more than expected.
The next morning.
Su Lin decided to temporarily hide the existence of the Beast Hunting Bees before their official exposure in the action against the Hunting Lord Shadow Beast.
That day, after Liu Jun and others joined forces with Xu Zhong to ambush Sun Kui from Qinxi Village, they brought back information about attempts to sabotage the hunt for the Hunting Lord in Wuyin, making Su Lin uneasy.
Although it earned him ten gold coins and eliminated a hidden threat, it also made him realize that for the villages in the West District, Wuyin Village had become a thorn in their side.
Song Yiyi had once told him that although joining a town upon upgrading to a town-level camp was possible, it also required integrating multiple villages to increase the population.
Currently, Wuyin Village had just over a hundred people.
Meanwhile, in Song Yiyi’s memory, Lanfeng Town’s population had already exceeded ten thousand.
During the morning’s hunting in the wilderness, even without the Beast Hunting Bees, the four-person team’s efficiency was good with Su Tongxi and Song Yiyi joining.
With the Slaughter Saber’s one-tenth meat yield, they harvested seven pieces of beast meat just in the morning.
Carrying the haul back to the Su Family’s Old Mansion, Su Lin found several unfamiliar faces inside, besides his second uncle Su Qi.
Song Yiyi immediately recognized them, placing her hands on her hips and exclaiming:
“Huh? It’s you! What are you doing here too?”
Chen Feng, sitting by the Eight Immortals Table, adjusted his glasses and was equally surprised:
“We should be asking you that. What are you doing here? Didn’t you leave with your sister?”
Chen Feng’s question hit Song Yiyi in a sore spot, and she instinctively pouted, as her sister had long abandoned her!
At this point, Su Lin also recognized them; they were Song Yiyi’s former bodyguards.
“Oh, it’s the Yunzhou Clan.”
Zhou Long and Chen Feng immediately stood up, clasping their hands in respect:
“Young Master Lin, our apologies.”
Su Qi took out several teacups, poured tea, and said in a steady tone:
“Alright, no need for formalities, everyone, sit down. We’re all one family from now on.”
Su Lin was taken aback by these words, then broke into a warm smile:
“The Yunzhou Clan choosing to join Wuyin? It’s truly an honor!”
These were two Tendon Lock Martial Artists!
This was a huge boost to the village’s strength.
He eagerly invited Zhou Long and Chen Feng to take their seats.
Former Yunzhou Clan leader Zhou Long humbly said:
“Young Master Lin, you’re too kind. Surviving in the apocalypse is tough, and the Su Family’s reputation is well-known, Old Su’s courage and benevolence are admirable. Now Wuyin Village is flourishing, naturally attracting people here. Moreover, Second Grandfather Su was generous, gifting us a valuable house title deed, with such sincerity, we are deeply grateful. How could we not accept?”
Former second-in-command Chen Feng nodded in agreement:
“Second Grandfather Su was so magnanimous, the Yunzhou members are truly touched. From now on, the Yunzhou Clan no longer exists, only the Wuyin Village’s third Hunting Group!” Was there an additional team in the Hunting Group?
It seems they were all former Yunzhou members.
Su Lin smiled and pondered.
Listening to their pleasant words, Song Yiyi pouted again, inwardly griping:
“Hopefully, this time they won’t stand idly by like when I got beaten up.”
But recalling that she was at fault for breaking the contract back then, she ultimately held back those words.
As everyone exchanged pleasantries, a deputy captain of the team, Tian Ruicheng, dashed in with a panicked look, urgently shouting:
“Second Grandfather Su! Second Grandfather Su! Something terrible has happened!”
“News just arrived that the leader has been born!”
“The beasts in the wilderness are in an uproar again! Captain Ye… he’s injured!”
The crowd inside the room immediately rose, the atmosphere turning tense.
The leader… was born prematurely?!
Su Qi’s face darkened, stepping forward to grip Tian Ruicheng’s shoulder:
“Ye Xin’an is injured? How severe are his injuries? Where is he?”
“At Gouhuo Tavern!” Tian Ruicheng hastily replied.
The crowd wasted no time, swiftly heading to the market.
After Zhong Wubin’s death, the Su Family controlled Wuyin, and Gouhuo Tavern had become the core base of the Hunting Group.
After Zhong Wubin’s death, the Su Family wielded power in Wuyin, making Gouhuo Tavern the gathering point for the entire Wuyin Hunting Group.
Because of this, Liu Jun had to consider expanding the tavern further.
But before the expansion could start, the tavern was already packed with people who had come upon hearing the news.
With a team returning to the village, people carried stretchers into the tavern, creating a din.
Su Qi, frowning deeply, walked into the tavern with long strides.
Ye Xin’an lay on a makeshift, tattered sofa, face pale, his upper body wrapped in thick bandages, with blood seeping through the bandages on his shoulder and arm.
Seeing Su Qi and the others arrive, he struggled to sit up.
Beside him, Liu Jun pressed his injury firmly, scolding:
“Can’t you lie down and talk? Do you have to put on a brave face?”
“Hiss—! Easy, Old Liu!” Ye Xin’an gasped and grimaced in pain.
Seeing that Ye Xin’an could still curse, Su Qi felt slightly relieved, bending down to inspect his injuries.
As the bandages were unwrapped, from behind his uncle, Su Lin saw a deep and gruesome claw mark from Ye Xin’an’s left shoulder to his left arm, the flesh rolled back, horrifyingly vivid.
“Second Grandfather Su…”
Ye Xin’an endured the severe pain, panting heavily, cold sweat dripping down, yet his tone was exceptionally grave:
“The situation… is dire. The leader that was born this time is a tough one! Just emerged and it stirred up chaos in the wilderness, driving a large number of bosses out from the deep, causing a massive beast tide rampage!
“What’s worse, I encountered people from Lanfeng Village at the border of our wilderness and theirs. They said they had a stroke of luck and, while hunting deep within, happened to stumble upon the newborn leader in their area!
“The leader of Lanfeng Village, Chen Xinting, was nearly killed! According to their description, this leader’s strength is far more formidable than any we’ve faced before!”
“Second Grandfather Su…” Ye Xin’an struggled to lift his head, eyes full of concern, “Has Old Su not yet come out of seclusion?”
