Looking at the light screen in front of him, Lin Xian felt the mechanical heart in his body roaring crazily for a moment. He couldn't help but shiver all over. In excitement, he immediately set his sights on the last refrigerator.
[Devouring progress 2%]
The light curtain progress bar shows that the devouring progress is accelerating!
"really!!!"
Improved efficiency is definitely a good thing for him. It can save enough time at critical moments and greatly reduce the risk probability during swallowing.
Drop~
Lin Xian started timing with his watch, and then began to devour it with full concentration.

[Devouring progress 20%]
……
[Devouring progress 50%]
……
[Devouring progress 80%]
[Devouring progress 99%]
"So fast!" Lin Xian looked at the time on his watch. It took him an average of 1 hour and 40 minutes to finish the three freezers in front of him, but now it was almost done in less than an hour, only 55 minutes.
The efficiency has been nearly doubled!!!
Just when Lin Xian was about to suppress the excitement in his heart, a golden light suddenly flashed before his eyes!
[Swallowed successfully, Mechanical Source Points +25, Mechanical Swallowing Skill Proficiency +6, Extra Reward: You gain the Ice Shield skill! ]
"Freezer... Ice Shield??"
Lin Xian was stunned. As expected, the skills he acquired were actually related to the machinery or electrical appliances he devoured.
Looking at the light curtain [Ice Shield LV1 0/100]
Lin Xian looked a little hesitant, so he tried to move his mind and raised his hand to wave!
Click, click, click!
Almost instantly, a small semi-arc-shaped azure ice shield rose from the ground to protect him, its height just covering Lin Xian's shoulders.
"Lying on the grass!"
Lin Xian shone his flashlight on the ice shield he had created out of thin air and was a little dumbfounded.
The ice shield in front of me is not thick, only about the thickness of a palm.
when!
He tried to chop it with the dagger, which made a dull sound of chiseling ice.
It was like the old ice that had been in the refrigerator for several years, and its hardness was higher than he had imagined.
At the same time, Lin Xian felt that a large amount of his energy had been drained away, and he suddenly felt that the loss outweighed the gain.
"This skill consumes a lot of energy, and its defense probably can't stop bullets. It can only be used in emergencies. The cost-effectiveness is a bit..."
"Hey wait."
Lin Xian looked at the ice shield in front of him, and his brows slowly raised.
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly walked forward, stuck out his tongue and licked the ice.
Colorless, tasteless, icy cold...
Immediately his pupils shrank, and an incomparable look of shock appeared in his eyes.
"Fuck, it condensed into ice out of thin air!!"
"With this trick... I won't be short of water in the future???"
Lin Xian suddenly felt that his thoughts were broadened a lot...
Clean water, what a precious resource in the doomsday, he can create a large amount of it out of thin air, although it takes a lot of energy, but if you calculate it this way, it is simply a huge profit!!
Lin Xian could not hide the excitement in his eyes. He used a knife to chisel off a piece of the ice shield and put it into his mouth. Immediately, a cool feeling spread throughout his mouth.
Although the weather outside was getting colder, the freezer was so stuffy that it made people feel dizzy. A mouthful of ice immediately made his head clearer.
At this time, he looked at the time, turned around and came to the door of the freezer.
Using the mechanical heart, he opened the lock hinge again, but the freezer door was only opened a little before it was locked by the iron chain outside.
"Old thing!"
Lin Xian cursed inwardly, he knew that this group of people were afraid that he would run away and must have done something outside.
However, his purpose in opening the door at this time was not to escape.
Ta~
He turned on the flashlight again, and after determining the direction of another freezer in the distance from the crack in the door, he turned the flashlight off again. Then he slowly stretched his finger through the crack in the door, and with his keen night vision, he gathered his strength!
puff!
A blast of wind was fired.
The almost silent air gun bombarded the stainless steel door of the freezer opposite, making a loud noise like a huge bell!
Boom!
The huge noise instantly resounded throughout the warehouse and spread into the darkness.
At this moment, the whole family hiding in the freezer were frightened by the noise.
"Who!!!" Several people reacted unexpectedly, and the two brothers quickly picked up their pistols, but it was pitch black outside the door and they could not see anything.
"Is there a monster?!" The little fat boy hid behind Gong Li, his face turned pale with fright.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
"Shh! Don't make any noise." The old lady said in panic, "Zhao Jian Ajie, don't shoot. It will be troublesome if you attract something."
The two brothers nodded and swallowed nervously in the night. For safety reasons, the old lady turned off an electronic light used for dining. At this time, the entire freezer became completely dark.
A feeling of uneasiness began to spread among several people.
On the other side, Lin Xian, who was hiding behind the door, had a cold look on his face.
"You like to catch turtles in a jar, right? Today I will teach you what a jar is and what a turtle is."
puff!
Another quiet blast of wind was heard from the air gun, and then the huge roar sounded again.
Boom!
This time, the Huang family was shocked again and they could no longer sit still.
"There's something outside, there's something outside!!!"
Huang Jie was holding a spear and was so frightened that he couldn't help shaking.
"What the hell is this?"
Following these two huge noises, the howling of zombies soon came one after another outside Warehouse No. 14. They came from far away and gradually turned from a few sporadic sounds into a group howling of zombies. Not only that, an even more bizarre rustling sound seemed to tear something, causing the trains parked outside to make a harsh sound of rails being torn and approaching rapidly.
When Lin Xian heard this voice, the first thing he thought of was the white giant monster, and his heart was immediately lifted.
But it was too late to back down. With his faint vision, he saw dense black shadows rushing into the warehouse from outside the gate. For a moment, hair-raising howling and roaring filled the entire warehouse.
puff!
At this time, Lin Xian decisively shot out the third wind gun again, which was also the most deadly death talisman. He wanted to completely lure the zombie tide over, otherwise he would be in trouble too.
The Huang family apparently also heard the dense tide of corpses pouring in. The five members of the family now huddled in a corner deep in the freezer. The two brothers Huang Zhaojian and Huang Jie stared at the darkness in front of them with terrified looks on their faces, holding guns.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. That door is very solid. Even a crowbar can't pry it open. Those monsters can't get in!"
The eldest brother Huang Zhaojian comforted everyone while swallowing his saliva.
Boom!
At this moment, the third sound hit the door.
The sound was like thunder, and the whole family felt as if they were sitting in an iron barrel, and their souls were shaken to death by the sound.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"
The little fat boy couldn't control his fear and howled, but the old lady covered his mouth with her hands and said, "Stop screaming!!!"
"what to do!!"
"It's okay, they can't get in..."
"God damn it! I should have taken that train during the day!"
"It's no use saying this now!"
Uh ah, uh ah!
Countless zombies were completely enraged by the sound, and they were scratching and ramming frantically outside the family's door. The steel pipes and crowbars tied behind the door made a creaking sound at this time.
Everyone was trembling, but at this moment, another even more terrifying voice appeared.
It was a sound like some kind of beast chewing, as if it was biting the zombies and the steel gate at the same time.
Click~click~click~click~click
The sound was so powerful and deep, with such force that even steel made a crisp shattering sound.
Finally, bang~bang~
The door whimpered and opened little by little.
The Huang family inside could no longer hold back after hearing the deadly sound, and the women and children began to cry and scream.
"Ah!! Mom!"
"It's over, what should I do!!"
"woo woo woo woo……"
At this time, the howling sound came into the freezer and was getting closer and closer!
Something is coming in!
The two brothers Huang Zhaojian and Huang Jie were already pale as a sieve. They could no longer bear it and raised their guns and shot at the darkness in front of them, intending to make a final resistance.
Da da da!
Flames erupted from pistols and semi-automatic rifles, and in an instant, the entire freezer was illuminated.
At this time, everyone saw in horror that among the countless ferocious zombies, there was a huge red monster insect. It opened its huge fangs and made a shrill cry. The red worm was extremely huge and looked like some kind of giant centipede. It was at least as thick as an adult and more than ten meters long. Its body was covered with red scales, and hundreds of legs were densely moving. Just one look at it and the family felt cold from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.
"what!!"
The shrill screams echoed in Warehouse No. 14.
However, within just a few breaths, the gunshots and screams stopped abruptly.
The only sounds left in the entire warehouse were the howling of zombies and the chewing sounds of some insects.
On the other side, Lin Xian had quietly closed the door of the freezer on his side. Through the peephole, he also saw the huge insect shadow, and he didn't even dare to breathe.
He originally thought that the giant white monster would appear, but he didn't expect something even more terrifying to appear...
I couldn't help cursing in my heart
"My god, is this the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons? Why are all kinds of monsters and demons appearing on this planet..."
In comparison, Lin Xian suddenly felt that the zombies had become kind-looking, even a little pitiful.
After all, these zombies are mutated dead humans.
Lin Xian's heart was pounding. His plan of driving the tiger to devour the wolf was indeed a bit risky. If he was not careful, it might be difficult for the big insect to escape even if he was hiding on the "Infinity".
"Damn it, the armor needs to be upgraded! The weapons need to be upgraded! The horsepower needs to be upgraded!"
