Chapter 620: Evolution Again
Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave
After Xia Mei’s brother left his last breath, Long Teng’s members started cleaning the battlefield. As for the rest of the Sword Club’s members, they chose to surrender over committing suicide.
Jiang Cheng jumped down from his vehicle in excitement. “Brother Jiang, we are truly thankful! I can’t even find the words to express my grat.i.tude.”
Shortly after, Yuan Fei and Wen Tian arrived too. They both looked at Jiang Lius.h.i.+ respectfully.
“Chengzi, who’s this great brother?”
“Let me introduce you. This is Captain Jiang Lius.h.i.+. He is the one that bought Xia Wen and the others in exchange for three mutant nuclei. We met him and his team halfway. Not only did Brother Jiang accept to take our mutant nuclei, but he also helped bring our members back…” explained Jiang Cheng.
Then, he introduced Yuan Fei and Wen Tian to Jiang Lius.h.i.+. “This is Yuan Fei, Long Teng’s Chief-in-Command, and Wen Tian, our sniper.”
Upon hearing that, Wen Tian felt her face scorching hot. She immediately regained her calm and said, “Please, I can’t be regarded as a sniper at all. Before Captain Jiang, I’m like a kid playing with toy guns.” After that, she fixed her eyes on the sniper rifle, wondering why in Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s hands it seemed as if it had gained magical powers. “Captain Jiang, may I take a look at it?”
“It’s your gun to begin with,” said Jiang Lius.h.i.+ and threw it at her.
The Barrett weight almost 20 kg, but Jiang Lius.h.i.+ threw it with one hand. Wen Tian was hesitant, but she still decided to disa.s.semble it; her actions were extremely skillful.
Yuan Fei stared at her and shouted, “What are you doing?”
“Nothing has changed, but why…” Wen Tian ignored Yuan Fei’s question and mumbled to herself.
Naturally, Wen Tian clearly knew that disa.s.sembling the sniper rifle in front of so many people was rude, but Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s abilities had really piqued her interest. She was so familiar with your weapon that it was not exaggerated to say that she considered it as a part of her body. ‘How did he do it? How is it even possible!?’
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ revealed a smile and explained, “It has nothing to do with the weapon. I just used an ability of mine when I was shooting.” Jiang Lius.h.i.+ downplayed the amazing process as he didn’t want others to know of his secrets.
While they were discussing, the Long Teng’s members started dealing with the mutant bats’ carca.s.ses. Ling and Ying were also helping to remove the four mutant nuclei, which were of high-quality.
As soon as Jiang Lius.h.i.+ held them, he could sense the condensed energy in them and felt as if his blood was resonating with them. Jiang Lius.h.i.+ felt excited and could not wait to absorb the potent energy in each nucleus.
“Captain Jiang! Could you sell us the mutant bats’ carca.s.ses? It may be impossible to carry all four of them back with you. We will give you as many mutant nuclei or evolution crystals as you want, but we’ll need some time to collect them,” said Yuan Fei apologetically. Long Teng was too poor to purchase so many mutant beasts at once.
However, n.o.body expected Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s next answer. He waved his hands and said, “Don’t sweat over it. Actually, the Sword Club and the four mutant bats attacked you because of us. I’m really sorry about that. Since I’ve obtained the mutant nuclei, which are also the most valuable parts, you deserve to keep everything else.”
“Oh, we will be ill at ease,” said Yuan Fei. Although what Jiang Lius.h.i.+ said was true, Yuan Fei still felt embarra.s.sed.
In this treacherous world, putting one’s life on the line was the only way to acquire food and resources. Long Teng was established for less than a year, during which, many combatants and ordinary members had lost their lives or joined. Now, with the mutant bats’ nutritious meat, many of Long Teng’s paranormals would have the chance to evolve again. Meanwhile, in Yuan Fei’s mind, the two organizations would sooner or later clash again, and the Sword Club would most probably defeat Long Teng.
“It’s okay. Hmm, if you really feel uncomfortable, then how about this? I’d like the Barrett and bullets in exchange for the bats,” said Jiang Lius.h.i.+, pointing at the sniper rifle in Wen Tian’s hands.
“It’s yours! You are the only one that can use it to its full potential!” Although Wen Tian was reluctant to part with her weapon, she immediately handed it to Jiang Lius.h.i.+.
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ received it and ordered Ying to bring his AMR-2. It had to be said that the previously damaged AMR-2 had been repaired using the metals secreted by one of the plants from the Diverse Plants Breeding Research Laboratory, and it was as good as new now. When comparing the two rifles, there were not many differences between them. What had attracted Jiang Lius.h.i.+ were the Barrett’s bullets. Ordinary bullets had a soft core, so even before hitting the target, they would deform when enshrouded by the blue energy. However, the Barrett’s bullets were the most suitable type that could withstand the blue energy.
“Oh, thank you!” said Wen Tian happily! It was surprising that Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had such a weapon and was willing to exchange it for hers.
“Captain Yuan, I have to trouble your members with cleaning the battlefield. This battle took a toll on me so I’ll have to go and rest. See you tomorrow,” said Jiang Lius.h.i.+. He was indeed tired but also eager to absorb the energy in the four mutant nuclei.
“Okay, no problem. See you tomorrow,” replied Yuan Fei.
After bidding farewell, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ didn’t drive the MCV inside the city, but instead, he drove to a thres.h.i.+ng floor in the vicinity. Then, he entered his room, allowing only Ran Xiyu and Li Yuxin to follow him inside. The two girls were the best protectors while absorbing the mutant nuclei.
“Let’s begin!” Jiang Lius.h.i.+ took a deep breath and put the first nucleus on his forehead.
Suddenly, he felt his forehead getting quite hot as if he had put burning charcoal on his forehead. The constant flow of energy coursing through Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s meridians made him feel like his body was a boiler. The energy flowing in his meridians was overbearing and caused them to expand. Although Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s body was in extreme pain, he was exhilarated due to the high-quality energy in the nucleus.
The potent energy was like a nouris.h.i.+ng meal for the blue energy. Not only the blue cl.u.s.ter of light was getting bigger, but Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s body was also baptized by the energies.
It took about an hour for Jiang Lius.h.i.+ to absorb the first nucleus, but he didn’t take a break. Instead, he started absorbing the second nucleus non-stop. As Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was absorbing the second nucleus, his body became sweaty while the color of his skin turned red like cooked shrimps.
Four hours later, the sky turned dark. Finally, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ absorbed the last nucleus and the same thing as last time happened – his body started to evolve. His flesh became tougher and brighter, while his blood coursed through his veins faster like a raging current. At the same time, the impurities were forced out of his pores. Although they were fewer impurities than last time, the odor they exuded was still unbearable.
Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s whole body turned red, and his mouth was gaping. His meridians had experienced a long-term high-intensity energy circulation, so his body was currently in its weakest state.
Li Yuxin gently undressed him before she helped him enter the bathroom. Ever since they had s.e.x, Li Yuxin’s temperament had changed; she felt more comfortable with his naked body. However, Ran Xiyu was still quite shy.
While Li Yuxin and Ran Xiyu were adjusting the water’s temperature in the bathtub, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ felt the luckiest man alive to have two beautiful maidens take care of him. Soon, he fell asleep in the bathtub with a sweet smile…
When Jiang Lius.h.i.+ woke up, it was already on the dawn of the next day. Li Yuxin and Ran Xiyu were soundlessly sleeping next to him. The two girls were wearing silky pajamas, which made them look extra cute. Seeing their sleeping faces, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was aroused.
Suddenly, Ran Xiyu woke up and asked, “Brother Jiang! Are you awake?”
In fact, even while sleeping, Ran Xiyu’s mental field remained activated. Once something entered her mental field, she would detect it. They had clashed with Genesis several times already, so she had to stay vigilant and protect her teammates from sneak attacks.
“Yeah,” replied Jiang Lius.h.i.+, and he gently touched Ran Xiyu’s cheeks. “We will head to the Sword Club today,” added Jiang Lius.h.i.+.
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had to go there for the Black Rubik’s Cube, as well as Shen Kui. It was better to take the initiative and launch an attack instead of waiting for their enemies to make a move!
