Chapter 7: Equipment and Evolvers?

  A mutated mosquito saw food and flew in excitement, but before it could land, a loud whooshing sound was heard, and its body split into two halves in mid-air, with dark red blood splashing out from its chest and abdomen. At the same time, two pieces of golden light flashed and fell to the ground, revealing two copper coins.

  Beautiful!

  "Get 2 copper coins"

  A faint white light poured into Liang Jing's body.

  Buzz buzz buzz......

  As soon as he heard the buzzing of the variant mosquitoes, Liang Jing went to kill them one by one. Although he couldn't hit every shot, he could feel his progress, and his accuracy rate was getting higher and higher, and his body movements and eyesight coordination were getting better and better.

  "Not good!"

  Buzz buzz buzz......

  Liáng Jìng was surrounded by 7 or 8 mutated mosquitoes, and he couldn't react in time. When Liáng Jìng killed them all, he found that he had been bitten twice by the mutated mosquitoes.

  Only to see the wound start to swell, itchy and painful, the indentation in the middle is still bleeding, but soon after the white light enters the body and permeates the wound, all the uncomfortable symptoms slowly disappear, the bleeding indentation first flows out some dark greenish-black **, then returns to normal.

  Awesome!

  The effect of this white spiritual light is too good, with multiple functions such as strengthening the body, relieving fatigue, treating injuries and so on.

  Now that I've found out the white light is so effective against the mutated mosquito bites, I feel a lot more at ease. After all, others haven't been bitten to death yet, and who knows what will happen in the future?

  Moreover, it's probably hard to find someone for treatment now, the whole world is in this situation, and hospitals are probably closed early. But Liang Jing himself is equivalent to having a doctor with him at all times, making treatment very convenient, quick and effective.

  Ding...

  BOOM! Next to the corpse of the mutated mosquito lay a piece of red-brown leather armor. Liang Jing picked it up, and his eyes couldn't help but flash with joy. After so long, he had finally gotten one, his luck wasn't too bad after all.

  "【Warrior Leather Armor】Quality: White, Resistance: 5, Durability: 10, Weight: 5, Equipment Requirement: Strength; 1."

  Resistance is equivalent to defense, indicating that the character will not be damaged when facing an attack within the resistance range. Tenacity refers to the upper limit of the equipment's ability to withstand attacks, indicating that the equipment will not be easily damaged when attacked within the tenacity value.

  The brown leather armor looks very simple, wearing it on the body is like carrying a bundle of cloth, shiny and without even a pocket, short sleeves that can only cover the main body, but the double shoulders are thickened and enlarged, increasing defense without affecting flexibility, this is done quite well, ugly but practical, the only drawback is that the protection for the arms can only reach the elbow, the sleeves are too short.

  Looking at the leather armor in my hand, okay, it seems that the burden is going to be heavier. This leather jacket can't be directly passed on to outsiders, and wearing it now is still quite eye-catching. Money moves people's hearts, so I'll wear an outer coat outside to cover it up and keep a low profile for now since my strength isn't strong enough yet!

  It's scorching hot today and I'm wearing three layers of clothes. The T-shirt inside is all soaked, but what can you do when it comes to safety?

  Out came the equipment, still practical parts, system products with quality assurance, Liang Jing was in a good mood and didn't bother to look for variant mosquitoes everywhere. Proceeded to Qingshui Bay's largest supermarket, Qianbai Hui.

  As Liang Jing walked towards the Qianbaihui supermarket, more and more mutated mosquitoes flew towards him, not fewer than those that had actively sought to kill him earlier. It seemed as if they had caught wind of the rich, pure scent of fresh blood on Liang Jing's body, which was even more alluring than others.

  Awesome!

  Four or five mutated mosquitoes appeared at once, and there were even more in the distance. Liang Jing didn't dare to slack off, but he didn't expect that when he wasn't bothering them, they wouldn't let him be either, and would follow him with a radiant glow as soon as he gave them some attention.

  It was just Liang Jing who didn't kill the mutated mosquitoes in order to hurry along, resulting in more and more mutated mosquitoes chasing after them.

  His physical strength is now roughly equal to that of five adult men combined, and his speed and power have increased greatly. Liang Jing can also deal with the mutated mosquitoes more easily.

  Took a deep breath and ran forward, left hand quickly blocking and slapping, right hand holding the knife to continuously slash at the mutated mosquitoes, not daring to stop for a moment.

  A mutated mosquito flew onto Liang Jing's body, its long proboscis directly aimed at the armor and stabbed in, but unfortunately, it couldn't find a gap to stab into, just like the proverb says, "mosquitoes don't bite seamless eggs", it simply couldn't get in.

  The mutated mosquito's mouthpiece can't penetrate the defense of 【Warrior's Leather Armor】, unlike just now when it could find a gap to bite into the flesh even if wearing jeans.

  All the way, Liang Jing didn't stop running. Although he also attracted a lot of variant mosquitoes, with his speed, he could avoid being attacked by more at the same time. The number of variant mosquitoes he killed was even more than when he specifically looked for monsters before.

  On the road, Liang Jing became a super hate tank. To know that others were driven by hunger to wear thick clothes and hold fishing nets and mosquito nets, advancing quietly like ghosts entering the village, which was so cool.

  If others were like him, they probably wouldn't even have the ability to resist, and could only wait for death to arrive.

  "Not good..."

  Hsss...

  He had just turned a corner when he encountered the web of a variant spider, but Liang Jing was not greatly surprised. With wolves in front and tigers behind, however, his eyes flashed with a hint of a smile as he ignored the variant spider excitedly waving its legs at the sight of food. Although his feet were stuck to the web, his current strength was far from what it had been when he was level 0. Even if it was a level 4 variant spider's web, he could burst out with force and run past the direction where the variant spider was coming from.

  Wow!

  The web is stretched to a certain extent, and with one slash of the short knife, it finally breaks. Let them fight each other like mosquitoes fighting spiders, let the ghosts fight each other.

  "Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

  "Humming..."

  Only to see this 4th-level variant spider seeing Liang Jing escape from its own trap and tear open a hole in the web, but it didn't pay much attention because it saw more food. Of course, it's also possible that there was an innate hatred for its natural enemy due to genetic inheritance. A large group of no less than 10 2nd-level variant mosquitoes appeared. Some of them failed to brake and crashed into the spider web, struggling with all their might but appearing so powerless, only able to whimper weakly under the spider's fangs before becoming nutrients for evolution.

  At this time, the mutated mosquitoes that were not stuck in the spider web behind also stopped and did not pursue Liang Jing. Their wings buzzed with vibration, as if they were communicating with each other. Then, 7 mutated mosquitoes gave up chasing Liang Jing and launched an air raid on the mutated spiders on the spider web together.

  A 4th-level variant spider didn't even have time to eat the prey in its trap, its 8 hind legs moving rapidly on the web, while its two pedipalps waved and slapped at the air, catching variant mosquitoes. Under the impact of the pedipalps, some variant mosquitoes were knocked down and stuck to the web, becoming prey, while even more variant mosquitoes landed on the spider's abdomen and back, sucking its blood.

  "Waaahhh..."

  The mutated spider writhed in agony, the venom from the mutated mosquito seemingly having no effect on him, not even causing him to blister and bleed like a human would, and he was even worried that the mutated mosquitoes might be like rabid dogs, hiding their symptoms before erupting.

  Although the pain was so severe that his abdomen began to cave in, the Variant Spider's insect vitality was too strong, and even if its abdomen and thorax were severed, it wouldn't die immediately. It continued to move around the web, using various methods to stick the Variant Mosquitoes to the web with its back. Finally, the 4th-level Variant Spider managed to trap all the Variant Mosquitoes in its own trap. Although it was now gasping for air, an insect's vitality was so strong that with this much food, it would definitely recover quickly and even upgrade with time.

  "Waa... waa..."

  Li Jing, standing not far away, couldn't help but curve the corners of his mouth when he saw this scene. This is human wisdom, isn't it a fisherman's gain?

  Without hesitation, he charged forward into the spider web, directly stabbing and rotating his spear at the two black pearl-like eyes of the heavily injured 4th-level mutated spider in front of him. This was Liang Jing's experience in killing mutated spiders, allowing him to quickly kill them.

  Ding...

  Mutated spider fell on the web, a leg guard burst out and dropped beside the mutated spider.

  Liang Jing's eyes lit up and he quickly picked up the shin guards, which turned out to be of the same style as the "Brave Warrior's Armor".

  "【Warrior Greaves】Quality: White, Resistance: 5, Durability: 10, Weight: 5, Equipment Requirement: Strength; 1."

  He took a look at the properties of the greaves and quickly put on the 【Warrior Greaves】.

  After putting on the protective gear, Liang Jing's lingering concerns slowly dissipated. He wore a silver-gray safety helmet, a warrior-style leather armor, thick leather gloves, and black reinforced labor insurance shoes, making him fully armed. It could be said that the mutated mosquitoes were no longer a threat to him, and he was also capable of dealing with the mutated spiders with his current strength.

  Even if faced with gunfire, as long as the bullets don't directly hit his head, Liang Jing believes he can still save his life. After all, the equipment produced by the system is guaranteed to be of good quality. Even if the bullets can penetrate the armor, Liang Jing believes the damage will not be great, although he won't take it for granted that the armor can withstand bullets.

  Put on knee pads and continue advancing towards the goal.

  "Friend, friend... can you help me out? Save my life!" Just then, as Liang Jing passed by a small internet cafe with over 10 computers, several cries for help came from inside.

  Liang Jing turned his head to look inside, and saw that the internet cafe door was open, with two men and two women standing inside, and a man lying on a chair.

  "What's going on?" Liang Jing looked at the situation and said, the man lying on the chair was someone he knew, Yang Yu Yuan.

  Yang Yu Yuan is more approachable, the C-drilling team leader in Xinghui Mold, who is usually outgoing and has good interpersonal skills. Liang Jing will help if she can.

  "It was like this over the weekend, our boss and we came online together, but a lot of monsters ran out and everyone was in chaos, fighting crazily with the monsters. Our boss was injured by a giant mosquito and spider while protecting us. Please save our boss!" The speaker was a young man under 20 years old, with darker acne scars on his face. Yang Yu usually treated him well, but this time he got hurt to protect him. As they watched Yang Yu's condition getting worse and worse, they all panicked, looking at Liang Jing who was fully armed and roaming the streets, not knowing if he could save them or not, they could only desperately seek medical help.

  Yang Yu's angular face scrunched up, seemingly in unbearable pain, with numerous wounds on his body. It looked like they were left by either a mutated mosquito or spider. However, Liang Jing was also helpless at the moment. If there were any medicine, he could have given some to Yang Yu, but unfortunately, the game store wasn't open yet, and real-life medicine would require a trip to town to purchase.

  "Ding... Evolved form (Elite) discovered, evolving..."

  Auto-complete?

  A glimmer of astonishment flashed in Liang Jing's eyes. Evolved Body (Elite)? Was Yang Yu Yuan going to mutate?

  Yang Yu Yuan's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, his whole body trembling with clenched fists and white knuckles, his legs constantly straightening and bending, as if he was in unbearable pain. Liang Jing could see that there was a faint crimson mist on his skin, from which some dark gray stains were being expelled from the surface of his skin, filling the air with a foul odor that made the room reek to high heaven.
