Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits - Chapter 170 - 147: The Might of the Swarm
Chapter 170: Chapter 147: The Might of the Swarm
However, when they clearly saw the “dark cloud” speeding from the gray mist, they were all stunned!
“Bees? Wasps?!” Someone rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
They saw thirty giant beast-hunting bees covered with metallic yellow-black shells, cold red gleams flashing in their compound eyes, and stingers sharp as knight’s spears, forming a neat combat formation.
The four transparent membranous wings vibrated at high speed, the buzzing sound no longer low, ringing through the sky like an engine.
The swarm, like silver arrows leaving the string, launched a fierce counter-charge towards the diving massive bird flock!
The diving bird flock seemed slightly stunned by this sudden, deadly-threat-exerting swarm, their speed slightly slowing.
But the giant beast-hunting bees didn’t hesitate; they precisely adjusted their flight posture, aligning their gleaming stingers straight ahead, accelerating again!
In the next second, two raging torrents collided fiercely in the gray sky!
Thump! Thump! Thump—!
In an instant, the dull and dense piercing sound replaced the harsh bird cries!
Accompanied by the bone-chilling sound of flesh being torn, thick and foul-smelling black-red blood mist exploded like cruel fireworks continuously in the sky!
Broken feathers and shattered limbs rained down like black droplets.
Thirty giant beast-hunting bees, strengthened by the glazed cannon, pierced through the imposing massive bird flock like thirty red-hot daggers slicing through solidified grease, killing right through them in an instant!
It seemed as if the sky was torn open by an invisible force, leaving a blood-daubed rift!
“What… what’s happening?!”
“Oh my god! These stinger wasps are… are they on our side?!!”
Xu Zhong and his team were utterly flabbergasted, their mouths unconsciously agape, eyes wide open as if witnessing the most unbelievable illusion.
The sight of the bee swarm crushing the bird flock shocked them even more than when Su Can shattered the boss’s head with a punch!
“Wait a minute! These giant bees…”
Someone suddenly reacted with extreme shock and disbelief, their gaze unanimously focused on Xu Zhong, the leader of Quanzhou Village.
“Xu Zhong, could it be you… you gave away the blueprint…”
Their eyes filled with the shock of “You even gave away your precious treasure?!”
This dog really is that generous?!
The village leaders almost all believed Xu Zhong had, to please the Su Family, handed over the Tier One Mechanism Blueprint that he painstakingly bought.
But why?
Who the hell knows why?!
Unless there’s another identical Giant Beast Hunting Beehive Blueprint out there?!
Xu Zhong’s expression was one of bewilderment.
He instinctively touched his face, looked at the invincible bee swarm in the sky, and was utterly blank:
“Did I… did I give the blueprint to the Su Family? When did this happen? I don’t remember this.”
Even Xu Zhong himself began to doubt, his expression slightly changing, and almost in a fluster, he summoned his house title deed.
The book, shimmering with silver light, flipped through quickly in his hand, stopping at the mechanism page.
When his gaze locked onto the still-clear existence of the “Giant Beast Hunting Beehive” blueprint icon and unconstructed status, he sighed in relief, though with residual fear.
But then, a more absurd, incomprehensible thought surged through his mind.
He quickly raised his head, once more gazing at the bee swarm turning direction, preparing for a second round of slaughter against the remaining bird flock.
That yellow-black metallic shell, those icy stingers, that nearly identical form… then quickly lowered his head again, his gaze nailed to the detailed description and status of his blueprint on the house title deed…
Raise head… lower head… raise head… lower head…
Repeating this several times, Xu Zhong felt as if struck by lightning, frozen in place, mouth agape big enough to fit an egg, brain completely crashed.
“No, impossible… absolutely impossible!!”
He finally found his voice, with a sense of horror and absurdity as his worldview was upended, he shouted hoarsely:
“There’s a second Giant Beast Hunting Beehive Blueprint?! And the Su Family not only built it but also raised thirty hunting bees for combat?!!”
How many days ago did he buy that blueprint?
He hadn’t even gathered the aromatic wood needed, let alone seen a shadow of treasure meat!
Yet here in the Su Family, they had the blueprint, built the mechanism, and even trained the bee swarm for battle?!
This speed, this efficiency… is it even scientific?!
Is there still any justice in this world?!!
“Damn it!”
Xu Zhong laughed angrily.
“So… so during the Trade Day, those bastards who cleared out all the aromatic wood I desperately needed… was you guys from the Su Family!!!”
He suspected every village except Wuyin Village, but it turned out to be Wuyin Village!
Calculating the time aromatic wood was swept clean from the market and the time needed to cultivate this fierce bee swarm, it was indeed Wuyin Village!
But what could Xu Zhong do?
He was so frustrated he almost vomited blood, yet dared not utter a word to confront them.
Not only that, he even considered inwardly whether, after this brutal lord hunt, he could humbly approach Wuyin Village and ask… if they had any extra aromatic wood to spare him.
One First-Transformed Martial Artist and Tier One Mechanism exist all in one village!
Xu Zhong, Chen Xinting, and several village leaders felt a surge of intense frustration and helplessness choking them, envy, jealousy, hate almost turning their eyes red.
Why? Why does the Su Family get all the benefits?
Especially… at this critical juncture when wild mutations are increasingly perilous!
Xu Zhong and the others instinctively once more looked toward the remaining bird flock in the sky, filled with dread.
Among the sky bird flock, mixed in was a particularly large, boss-level giant crow with a fierce aura.
However, for the giant beast-hunting bees that could single-handedly kill a boss, thirty in formation charging at one boss… it was a crushing instant kill!
The giant crow in the sky had just witnessed the bee swarm obliterating its followers into a bloody mess with a single charge, already scared out of its wits.
Frantically flapping its wings, it attempted to flee the chaotic battlefield, scarlet eyes filled with panic.
When the hunting bee swarm made its turn, countless pairs of scarlet cold compound eyes locked onto the crow like spotlights upon it, its feathers stood on end from fear!
“Caw—!!!”
Seeing those thirty deadly long stingers gleaming coldly once more aimed straight at it, the giant crow let out a shrill, distorted cry, abandoning all its followers without hesitation, twisting its neck, flapping its wings and fled towards the distant gray mist without looking back!
“Escaping?”
On the ground, Su Lin stammered slightly.
“If it escaped, don’t chase!” Su Qi’s decisive voice came through, “First drive away, or kill the remaining bird flock!”
“Okay.” Su Lin immediately commanded the bee swarm to turn their spears, attacking the chaotic mutated bird flock.
In the sky, each mutated bird as large as an electric motorcycle was already scared out of their wits by the sight of their peers instantly torn apart by the bee swarm.
They frantically fluttered about like headless flies, colliding with each other, akin to a boiling cauldron of black gruel.
The sky seemed to rain an eerie bird shower composed of bird corpses, dismembered limbs, and black feathers dancing in the sky.
The stunned, killed mutated birds fell like heavy sandbags, mixed with the swirling black snow, continuously plummeting from the sky.
Under the swarm’s cold, efficient massacre, the remaining bird flock finally completely collapsed, scattering in panic, disappearing into the gray sky.
