My Doomsday Bug Nest - Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Trapped

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ling Yichen stared at the six Worker Bees in the Insect Nest Demiplane and said unhappily, “I actually have to give orders to these Worker Bees before they can go to work. Can’t they be more proactive? Isn’t it said that they’re the most diligent?”

Hence, Ling Yichen gave the order, “Go to work.”

The Worker Bees immediately flew up and flew towards the zombies’ corpses to eat them.

In terms of size, it was quite scary. However, Ling Yichen knew that this group of Worker Bees basically had no combat strength. Even if they were at Mortal Body Rank-1, they could not defeat zombies. They could be said to be extremely weak.

The conversion efficiency of the Worker Bees varied from slow to fast. It was related to their own state and various other factors. The Worker Bee Hive could provide shelter for the Worker Wees. The Worker Bees could recover their state most quickly in the Worker Bee Hive.

Now, Ling Yichen was waiting for the conversion of organic matter. When the amount of organic matter reached 100 units, he would build the Worker Bee Hive.

An hour had passed. He wondered how the Hidden Shadow Spider was doing.

With a thought, Ling Yichen saw the current situation of the Hidden Shadow Spider through the [Commanding Operations] ability of the Insect Race Mother Nest.

As the ruler of the Insect Race, Ling Yichen naturally had the ability to observe and contact the insects from afar.

After communicating with Ling Yichen mentally, Ling Yichen learned about the Hidden Shadow Spider’s current actions.

At this moment, the Hidden Shadow Spider was lying by the window of a house on the second floor. It was staring at the main door of the building and at the group of zombies who were rubbing against the wall and trying to climb up.

On the ground, there was already a group of zombies that were stuck to the ground by the spider silk and could not move.

The Hidden Shadow Spider’s current strategy was to execute a war of attrition by attacking using long-range attacks, but preventing its enemies from attacking it. It used spider silk to constantly restrain the zombies. If they lost their mobility, they would lose their threat.

This method was indeed not bad, and it was very reliable. However, the Hidden Shadow Spider had limited spider silk stored in its body, and the speed of secretion was not fast. For the tug-of-war to continue until the present moment, the Hidden Shadow Spider had to go down to “forage” and replenish the nutrients needed for the spider silk.

Ling Yichen glanced at Ling Zixing beside him. He did not know when this girl would break through.

Cultivation was also related to talent. Before Ling Yichen was reborn, he could grow into the strongest person in the human race. Naturally, his talent was strong and was among the top cultivation geniuses.

Ling Yichen took out the Mountain-Breaking Ax and a dagger that he had bought from Old Jin’s hardware store.

It was a pity that he did not have a composite bow or a crossbow. Otherwise, he could still use long-range methods to kill all the zombies.

The modified nail gun was the trump card that Ling Yichen had left behind. After all, he had a limited number of nail projectiles. They were not like arrows that could be recycled and used. Therefore, Ling Yichen did not intend to use it on this group of weakest zombies.

After breaking through to Mortal Body Rank-1, Ling Yichen was no longer an ordinary human, but an Evolver.

His Immortal Talent gave Ling Yichen extraordinary self-healing abilities and gave him extremely strong endurance.

In battle, endurance was Ling Yichen’s specialty. His endurance was very strong.

When he ran to the window on the second floor, Ling Yichen threw out a zombie arm from the Insect Nest Demiplane, making some noise in the distance.

The zombies who heard the noise walked over one after another. They had no intelligence and only relied on their instincts.

After all the zombies had left, Ling Yichen opened the main door of the building and stuck a broken umbrella, which had been abandoned by someone, at the door to prevent it from automatically locking again.

Ling Yichen had lost his key card. Now, he could only use a typical key to go in and out of the house. He was too lazy to replace it. He thought that there was no need for that. Wouldn’t it be good to use this money to eat chicken steak instead?

In order to run in as quickly as possible, Ling Yichen naturally did not want the main door to be locked. Picking the lock was obviously too much of a waste of time, and the zombies would not give him the chance to do so.

Ling Yichen walked out and first chopped off the heads of the zombies that were bound by the Hidden Shadow Spider on the ground. Meanwhile, the Hidden Shadow Spider that was watching from the side had already climbed down to help harvest the heads.

He quickly collected all the zombies he had killed into the Insect Nest Demiplane. However, the sound produced by Ling Yichen had already attracted the zombies that had just left in the distance.

Ling Yichen did not rest. He ran up without stopping. He used the dagger in his left hand to defend and the Mountain-Splitting Ax in his right hand to attack.

As he approached one of the zombies, Ling Yichen suddenly slashed his ax and simply cut open its head.

Heads were the fatal weakness of zombies. As long as he cut off or blew up the brain tissue of zombies, he could kill them.

Every time the surrounding zombies stretched their gray nails towards him, Ling Yichen’s dagger would slash across the area around him and cut their arms.

With Ling Yichen’s current strength, he could not cut off the arms of these zombies with a dagger unless he used the Mountain-Splitting Ax.

He didn’t push forward like a main character as he imagined. Instead, Ling Yichen retreated step by step.

Ling Yichen had been in the apocalypse for a long time, so he naturally knew that it was not a wise choice to let himself be surrounded by zombies for so long.

In the current terrain, as long as the zombies approached the main door, Ling Yichen could give up the battle. Then, he could run in to hide and rest to recover his strength.

When dealing with zombies, being overzealous in fighting was a big taboo. If one was not careful, they would become one of them.

In fact, Ling Yichen’s Immortal Talent made him far more resistant to any poison, including the zombie virus. After Ling Yichen was scratched by zombies, he relied on his tenacious resistance to avoid becoming a zombie. Only then did Ling Yichen realize that his resistance was so strong.

Moreover, with the increase in their realm and physical fitness, ordinary Awakened ones could also increase their various resistances.

However, Ling Yichen did not know what level he needed to reach to have such resistance. Moreover, as the realm of the zombies increased, the power of the zombie virus would also increase. This was very difficult to judge.

Therefore, safety was the most important thing. Ling Yichen’s motto was never to underestimate the enemy and zealously continue fighting.

However, at this moment, an accident happened!

Someone had actually pulled the umbrella inside the main door!

The door automatically locked!

He was too careless!

Who did this?!

Ling Yichen did not expect such a situation to happen. This caught him off guard.

Ling Yichen narrowed his cold eyes. No matter who this person was, he was dead meat!

Before his rebirth, those who had plotted against him and those who were plotting against him were all dead!

“Hidden Shadow Spider, climb in and see who’s still in the corridor!”

After receiving Ling Yichen’s mental message, the Hidden Shadow Spider immediately gave up on the zombie enemy in front of it and crawled to the window on the second floor.

With the speed of an ordinary person, even if they were to run back after doing this, they wouldn’t be faster than the Hidden Shadow Spider climbing the wall.

As Ling Yichen had expected, the Hidden Shadow Spider saw the person. It was a man.

However, as a spider, the Hidden Shadow Spider’s eyesight was not very good. It often relied on its sense of smell and body perception to determine its surroundings. However, it had already memorized the person’s smell. This person definitely could not escape!
