During the rest time, Lu Chen used the medicinal powder in his backpack to stop the bleeding wound on his thigh. Fortunately, he did not cut open the main artery. If it was not for the Fire Armor, this leg would have been crippled long ago.
At this moment, there were already many notifications in his mind:
Do you wish to process F-class fire elementals? Equipment crafting system stored fire elements: Unit 15
Do you wish to process F-grade fire armor? Equipment Crafting System Storage Fire Shell: second unit
Do you wish to process F-grade iron elements? Equipment Crafting System Storage of Iron Elements: Unit 30
Do you want to process F-class iron armor? Equipment manufacturing system stored iron shell: Unit 108
Of course, he would process them all!
Ding!
Ding!
……
After a series of notifications, an Iron-armored Crossbow and an Iron-armored Energy Gun appeared in Lu Chen's backpack. These were all made from the Iron-armored Bug Shells collected by the equipment manufacturing system.
All the items processed by the equipment manufacturing system could appear anywhere within a one-meter radius according to Lu Chen's thoughts. Of course, the secret of the equipment manufacturing system could not be known to others, so Lu Chen chose to put all the processed items into the mountaineering bag on his back.
Then, he used the fire elements he had collected last time to create a lot of fire element bullets, as well as the iron element bullets he had collected this time.
He even used the extra iron beetle shells to make thirty iron armored bolts.
These iron crossbows were much more useful than those sharp pipes.
After the first and second level of the battle, Lu Chen had used up 56 sharp tubes, but he had killed 108 iron beetles.
After processing, there were only two units of fire armor left. The rest of the resources had been used up.
Lu Chen, who had nothing to do, was very hesitant. In the apocalypse, human nature did not exist at all. However, after his rebirth, he still felt a little moved when he faced the death of so many of his compatriots.
Perhaps from the bottom of his heart, he believed in that hope.
The hope that humanity could turn defeat into victory.
Faced with the endless number of apocalyptic creatures, humanity retreated step by step, from 7.4 billion before the apocalypse to less than 500 million in just ten years. The death toll was close to 7 billion, and the mortality rate was as high as 94%!!!
Although the technology of the apocalypse was developing very quickly, it couldn't withstand the endless number of apocalyptic creatures.
He only needed to say some data to understand it clearly.
Lu Chen remembered that three months after the apocalypse began, each country had established a certain number of base cities.
Among them, there were 12 A-grade headquarter cities. These A-grade headquarter cities had the strongest defense and were also the most densely populated headquarter cities.
Each A-grade headquarter city had a population of close to 100 million, and among them, there were more than 100,000 evolvers.
Including some B, C, D, E, and F-grade base cities, the total number of survivors in the three months after the apocalypse was close to 3.3 billion.
However, ten years after the apocalypse, there were only five A-grade headquarter cities left in the world, 17 B-grade headquarter cities left, and only nine C-grade headquarter cities left. As for the lower-grade headquarter cities, they were all conquered by the apocalyptic creatures.
Even if the technology of the apocalypse developed powerful energy weapons, mankind could only slowly walk towards extinction.
It was as if he could not see any hope. This was also the reason why Lu Chen was in a dilemma at the moment.
If there was no hope, what was the point of saving them? Moreover, his identity would be exposed. Then, his plan to surpass the other Evolvers as soon as possible would probably be ruined.
But now that he was reborn, perhaps he was very small in the vast sea of people, but this might be a hope, even if this hope was very small.
However, saving one more person would be adding to their fighting strength in the battle for survival in the apocalypse!
Perhaps there were some people who were kind and evil, and they would do some inhumane things in the apocalypse, but this was not something he could decide.
Just take it as working hard for the last trace of hope in his heart.
After making up his mind, Lu Chen opened his eyes, and the confusion in his eyes disappeared. The creaking sound from the second floor to the third floor continued. It was obvious that the iron beetle was chipping away at the metal table, but the effect was not very good. It had been ten minutes, but the metal table blocking the corridor was still motionless.
Lu Chen looked at Dong Sheng, who was already in despair. At this moment, Dong Sheng raised his head and looked at the ceiling in a daze. His expression was filled with despair, and his pupils had lost their luster. He was like a living dead man.
"What's your name?"
Lu Chen walked up to Dong Sheng and said.
" Ah..." Dong Sheng did not expect Lu Chen to suddenly walk over and was shocked.
"I'm Dong Sheng, the manager of this bar."”
"Okay, now organize people to stack the doors of the private rooms outside the iron gate leading to the rooftop. Leave a path as wide as a person. Remember to cover the top of the path with a door panel. Do you understand?"
"Good!"
After saying that, Lu Chen carried Qing Styx and started from the end of the corridor. He cut the door shaft with his sword and split the private rooms one by one. At first, the people in the private rooms glared at him.
However, when they saw Lu Chen break the door shaft like cutting tofu, no one dared to step forward.
The young man, Dong Sheng, told the crowd about Lu Chen's plan, but not many people were willing to believe that the bugs could still come out. Moreover, the stairwell was blocked, and the bugs downstairs were also not moving. What was there to be afraid of? Besides, such a strange thing had happened here, the police must be on their way to rescue them.
Therefore, only Dong Sheng and a few bodyguards carried the door that Lu Chen had cut open. Wang Qiang was also among the six people carrying it. This surprised Lu Chen a little.
In fact, Wang Qiang was not very willing to do so. However, after this series of events, Wang Qiang felt that it was best if everything was fine. If anything happened, the chances of him following Lu Chen to save his life should be higher. Those terrifying insects could easily kill an adult, but they could not even survive one move from Lu Chen.
After blocking the corridor from the second floor to the third floor for 30 minutes, Dong Sheng, Wang Qiang, and the others finally blocked the door outside the iron door of the rooftop according to Lu Chen's instructions.
Therefore, Lu Chen and the other seven retreated to the rooftop. After that, Lu Chen tied the iron gate with iron chains and inserted two sharp tubes into the iron chains.
In the end, he twisted the two iron pipes into dough twists and successfully locked the iron gate.
After doing all this, Lu Chen inserted all the sharp tubes into the gaps of the left and right doors. Actually, Lu Chen had a better choice.
With Lu Chen's current strength, it was easy for him to twist the hollow iron pipe into a fried dough twist.
However, Lu Chen knew that when the iron beetles attacked, the crowd below would definitely rush to the rooftop like crazy. This way, the sharp tubes prepared for the iron beetles would all pierce into the bodies of the people who were surrounded by them.
It was not because he was afraid of hurting these people. Ever since these people were unwilling to retreat to the rooftop, Lu Chen had already sentenced these people to death in his heart.
Lu Chen did not want to waste the sharp tube that he had painstakingly cut out. Now that it was inserted between the cracks of the door, it could still interfere with the flight of the iron beetles. It was better than wasting it on those fools.
After inserting all the sharp tubes, Lu Chen put the Green Destiny Sword into his backpack and took out the armored energy gun, a magazine filled with fire element bullets, and three magazines filled with iron element bullets.
There were also iron armored crossbows and thirty iron armored bolts.
Dong Sheng, Wang Qiang, and the other six people were exhausted from moving the door. They were now lying on the rooftop to rest.
Looking at Lu Chen locking the iron gate, although Dong Sheng, Wang Qiang, and the others knew what Lu Chen meant, none of them objected. When facing death, selfishness should be considered human instinct.
"Erm, little brother, how did you know that the iron beetles would attack again?" Dong Sheng asked curiously. And why did they retreat to the rooftop? Wouldn't those monsters appear on the rooftop?”
Looking at Dong Sheng, Lu Chen, who had reloaded his magazine and crossbow, smiled."There's something even more terrifying on the rooftop. Those iron beetles wouldn't dare to fly up directly.”
Hearing Lu Chen's words, the six curious people raised their heads to look at the sky. They only saw a vast expanse of white and could not see anything.
As if he knew the question in Dong Sheng's heart, Lu Chen continued,"The things above can't come down, just like how we know that the tigers in the zoo can be fatal, but the tigers in the zoo can't jump out of the cage to attack us.
However, the iron beetles could sense that there was an even more terrifying predator. Those brainless beetles did not dare to fly directly to the rooftop. At most, they would fly to the third floor. Therefore, they were most likely to attack from the window on the third floor.”
" Of course, without the mutated iron beetles, the iron beetles below will only foolishly break through the obstacles in the stairwell and attack from the stairwell.'
Lu Chen only thought about this in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud. Then, he sat on the ground and continued to rest.
After a while, panic could be heard from downstairs through the corridor, followed by familiar screams and cries for help.
The six people who were still resting instantly became nervous. Was it really as Lu Chen said, those monsters were here again?
