Back to the Peak

rad-warrior could easily deal with a single ant beast.
Even if the cave entrance Shi Qingyang guarded was fully opened, only two ant beasts could come in.
His strength was far greater than that of his previous life, so when he sent out a few blades, he could directly kill two ant beasts.

The dead ant beasts would fall down along the straight cave outside, or be directly taken away by its companions behind it as food.
In this way, he even saved the work of cleaning the battlefield.

Shi Qingyang stored his radiant energy, killed hundreds of ant beasts, and then closed the hole.
He then cut open the meat of the ant beasts he kept with a knife, and ate them in twos or threes.

Although it was difficult to eat the first time, he felt much better now.

After eating, Shi Qingyang simply cleaned himself up and went to Cheng Ran to check the detector on his radiation suit.
After seeing it, his expression immediately changed: “You have a fever.
Why didn’t you tell me?” The screen showed that Cheng Ran’s temperature was a little too high.

“I don’t feel it.
Really, I don’t feel it at all,” Cheng Ran immediately said.

By the light of the detector, Shi Qingyang also found that Cheng Ran’s face looked to be in a very healthy state, but his temperature was so high, which was absolutely abnormal.

“Qingyang, I think I’m even better than ever now,” Cheng Ran emphasized again.
He wanted to say more, but Gu Changjin, who was next to him, suddenly moved.

While they were making their escape they had used up the Almighty Elixirs, the potions to increase radiant energy, and the potions to prevent radiant energy riots, but they had still had some medicine for treating wounds and first aid medicine.
Cheng Ran had also used those up for Gu Changjin according to the detector’s suggestion.

Gu Changjin’s temperature had fallen.
Although his current condition was still bad, the side effects of the potential potion had subsided, and he also woke up.

“Grandpa Gu.” Shi Qingyang opened the contact terminal so that there was a little light in the cave and immediately looked at Gu Changjin.

Gu Changjin’s eyes couldn’t focus at the start.
After a long time, he looked at Shi Qingyang and Cheng Ran.
He opened his mouth, but unfortunately he couldn’t say anything.

“Grandpa Gu, now that you’ve woken and are alright, things will be fine!” Cheng Ran said.

Gu Changjin stared at Cheng Ran for a while with soft eyes, but finally closed his eyes and fell into a coma again.

Shi Qingyang looked at Gu Changjin and then glanced at Cheng Ran, but he found that Cheng Ran’s high temperature, which was shown on the detector just now, had fallen.

The ant eggs were probably related to the variation of his radiation energy in his previous life.
Maybe this was a good thing.
Cheng Ran said that he felt very at ease eating the ant eggs, so Shi Qingyang let him eat them.
However, Cheng Ran had a small appetite and couldn’t finish eating them every time, so he gave the rest to him.

For the next three days, Cheng Ran’s temperature rose from time to time, and it would drop again soon.
If it weren’t for him not having problems in other aspects, Shi Qingyang would have been very anxious.

In addition to Cheng Ran, Gu Changjin’s situation was also somewhat similar.
He occasionally woke up only to soon fall unconscious again.
Every time he woke up, the two of them would give him something to eat.
Now three days later, they had consumed all the water and nutrient solution.

Cheng Ran completely relied on ant eggs to supplement food and drink.
Shi Qingyang was in better condition.
He could collect water droplets on the cave wall.
Although these drops of water were few and full of radioactive substances, it had little impact on him.

Shi Qingyang spent most of the day killing ant beasts at the entrance of the hole.
Now he wanted to kill them as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t easy to do this.
There were so many ant beasts here, and the whole mountain extended in all directions… He lived in the cave for a month in his last life.
How could he solve all these in only three days in this life?

“Can we escape?” Gu Changjin was already able to say.
This time he woke up and saw Shi Qingyang killing ant beasts, and he couldn’t help asking.

“Grandpa Gu, we must be able to escape.
Maybe the people who are coming to rescue us are already outside.” Shi Qingyang laughed, and while skillfully killing the ant beast in front of him, he began to observe the nest room next to him.

Next, Gu Changjin also had to eat ant eggs.
Even if these ant eggs were not the ones that brought him his good fortune, he also needed to find an opportunity to grab some ant eggs outside for food.

“I hope so.” Gu Changjin breathed a sigh of relief.
After his whole body relaxed, he was a little sleepy again.

Shi Qingyang’s main food that day was ant beast meat as usual.
At the same time, he opened an ant beast’s egg, let Cheng Ran eat some, and then let Gu Changjin eat some.
The rest could not be stored for a long time, so he ate it himself as usual.

Three days later, on the seventh day they fell into the ant nest, even though they were very economical, there was only one ant egg left.

Gu Changjin had survived and didn’t die in the end, but now even if he wanted to move, he was a complete wreck.
Cheng Ran had to tend to his needs for eating, drinking, and excretion.
There was no way to think about fighting.
Cheng Ran didn’t even need to be mentioned.
Although he seemed to have completely adapted to eating ant eggs, after all, he was an ordinary person and couldn’t fight.

Shi Qingyang knew that he was the only one he could rely on to get ant eggs.

Although Shi Qingyang had been repeating the cycle of killing ant beasts, resting, killing ant beasts, resting, and still killing countless ant beasts, there remained many ant beasts crawling back and forth outside, which made him a little worried, lest he be trapped elsewhere.

But at this time, he had to go out.

Shi Qingyang climbed out of the cave, and then joined forces with Cheng Ran inside to block the hole with the rock.
After this, he quickly climbed down a few steps before the ants around him gathered, and climbed into a nest room beside him which he had kept an eye on for several days.

This nest room was larger than his previous one, with dozens of ant eggs neatly placed in the middle, and some ant beasts crawling around…

Shi Qingyang was afraid of being trapped here by these ant beasts.
He didn’t dare to fight.
He stuffed a dozen ant eggs that hadn’t hatched into the prepared holders made of clothes, then immediately sent out a wind blade to kill several ant beasts blocking him the hole before climbing up.

Just as he climbed to the hole, before he pushed the stone blocking the entrance, Shi Qingyang suddenly found an ant beast larger than a worker ant beast rushing towards him.
This was a male ant beast!

Male ants never went out to find food, only accepting the support of worker ants, but if they found danger, they would also crawl out.

Shi Qingyang had been lucky in his last life.
In the beginning, he hadn’t encountered any at all, and later, he had squeezed into a small stone crack.
In this way the male ant beasts and the queen ant couldn’t attack him, but he could attack them with radiant energy.
In the end, he exhausted them through a battle of attrition…

Now did he meet the male ant in advance because he killed the worker ants too fast? Shi Qingyang didn’t have time to think about it.
A few wind blades flew towards the male ant beast, and tried to push the stone at the mouth of the cave.

Unfortunately, although his attack hurt the male ant beast, it also stirred up the male ant beast’s fury, and it rushed over suddenly.

The stone blocking the hole could not be pushed away by the ant beast because there was a groove, but this stone could roll away to the side.
At this time, Cheng Ran, who had been worried about Shi Qingyang, just pushed open a gap.

Shi Qingyang was stuck by the entrance, and the outside was surrounded by ant beasts, but this was not the most important thing.
At this time, the male ant beast even bit Cheng Ran’s hand along the gap.

Shi Qingyang’s eyes instantly turned red.
