Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ clenched his fists, and a chill welled up all over him. He did not expect that even Yang Guanqing, such a top scientist, could fall into despair after doomsday.
"Brother Jiang, this data…" Li Yuxin said to Jiang Lius.h.i.+ after she read the contents.
"Don"t worry! Although mutant beasts and zombies are evolving, humans also..." Jiang Lius.h.i.+ answered. He encouraged his team members and lifted their spirits. After all, in this post-apocalyptic world, they were the closest they had to a family.
"Screech!"
At that moment, several heavy trucks were parked before Jiang Lius.h.i.+"s minibus.
"Captain Jiang, did you find anything?" s.h.i.+ Can walked quickly and noticed the abandoned military car and the three bodies at once.
"Yes, we found that scientist as well as two soldiers," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ said lightly. He had already collected all the the reseach specimen and data as he knew that they were important to the military.
Hearing Jiang Lius.h.i.+"s answer, s.h.i.+ Can was delighted. "A scientist as well as two soldiers?" That was the level-3 mission! With joy, he looked at s.h.i.+ Ying Squad respectfully. He found that the mission seemed to be much simpler with Jiang Lius.h.i.+.
At that time, some combatants got inside the nest to examine it and then returned.
"It"s strange. How could they be in this nest?" Someone asked.
"Insects have the habit of dragging food back to their nests," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ explained and put that egg to his pocket.
Although s.h.i.+ Can noticed his action, he didn"t say anything. No matter what Jiang Lius.h.i.+ would take the mutant queen ant"s egg.
"What is this?" s.h.i.+ Can s.h.i.+fted his eyes to the Kraft bag.
"Research and study materials," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ said.
s.h.i.+ Can pondered for a while but didn"t open it. He also knew clearly that the information inside was only meaningful to scientists.
"Oh, by the way, the dead scientist is Professor Yang Guanqing. His research is quite important. As a result, we have to hand those over to the government as soon as possible," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ added.
"Professor Yang Guanqing?" s.h.i.+ Can was also shocked. "Carefully carry those bones into our car. We will return at once." s.h.i.+ Can"s voice was spread far from the icy snow.
"Captain, it will be dangerous for us to drive at night. We have to traverse mountainous roads."
"Captain, we all think we should rest…"
A few members said as they felt dejected by s.h.i.+ Can"s order. What mattered most to them was their safety.
s.h.i.+ Can"s order obviously bothered some team members. At least, safety was the most important thing for everyone.
"We must return at once. We have found some very important research materials. We couldn"t wait anymore," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ shouted. And then he went back to his minibus immediately.
After that, everyone also launched their cars at once. Actually, s.h.i.+ Can felt awkward because Jiang Lius.h.i.+"s words carried more weight than his.
…
As they returned, Jiang Lius.h.i.+"s minibus took the lead and rushed fast all the way.
"Everyone consume these evolution crystals," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ ordered and revealed the evolution crystals.
Seeing those evolution crystals, Zhang Hai, Sun Kun, and the others felt excited but also nervous. They had all consumed them before and knew the energy they contained inside, but they also knew that they were quite expensive.
"Brother Jiang…we have…" Zhang Hai didn"t know how to express himself.
"Distribute all those," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ said quickly. It was better to accept deferentially than to decline courteously. They did as Jiang Lius.h.i.+ ordered.
"Ling, take an extra one," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ said to Ling.
"Captain, one is enough." Ling felt happy and grateful in her heart.
"Yuxin said you have shown signs of evolving. Take advantage of it," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ did not say much and just handed it to her.
"Second evolution?" Ling understood the reason and she was touched by Jiang Lius.h.i.+"s kindness.
"We need to train and gain more combat experience. In the future, we will take on more missions and fight more. You should be aware that the doomsday"s aftereffects will last for a long time. All mutant zombies and mutant beasts have experienced mutation…" Jiang Lius.h.i.+ said patiently.
Everyone listened carefully and felt the urgency to improve.
After explaining everything, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ also consumed an evolutionary crystal. When it reached his abdomen the familiar sense of heat was spread all over his body.
"Two evolutionary crystals. Three level-2 mutant nuclei and four level-1 mutant nuclei…that"s all." Jiang Lius.h.i.+ counted his a.s.sets.
"My MCV is also in need of further upgrades. Everything is ready, but a few rare metals are missing," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ thought.
After a careful examination of his inventory, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ studied the mutant egg he had just gotten. He knew it was special, but he didn"t know how to use it.
"Sta.r.s.eed, scan this egg," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ ordered in his mind.
"Notification: Scanning failed because the item is beyond scanning scope."
"What?" Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was totally shocked by this answer. The mutant queen egg had a higher energy level than his MCV? This suggested that the mutant egg should be stronger than the one he had once acquired.
Originally, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ hoped for a pleasant surprise, but now he couldn"t get this surprise until his MCV was upgraded.
Suddenly, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ felt an intense wave of heat rus.h.i.+ng throughout his body, and he felt as if countless ants were crawling underneath his skin. And then, waves of comfort replaced the earlier uncomfortable feelings,so he immersed himself in that kind of pleasurable sensation.
Doom Walker"s convoy was driven carefully like a snake in the ice and snow. In the middle of the night, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ woke up suddenly because Ying stopped after seeing a strange scene. Several heavy trucks were driven toward them quickly. The headlights on the front face of the car were dazzling.
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ became alert. The other cars behind the minibus also stopped. s.h.i.+ Can fastened the trigger of his machine gun aimed at that heavy truck.
"Huh?" Jiang Lius.h.i.+ at this time noticed a flag from the first heavy truck. It was a black sun! It meant to be a symbol of the light in the darkness. The flag of Doom Walker!
Then a few people jumped out of the car.
"President Hou?" Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was surprised.
