‘launch the accelerate function!’

jiang liushi’s minibus was only about 7 or 8 meters away from the mother beast, so when he gave the order, the minibus dashed violently and the v-shaped ram emitted a cold luster before it penetrated the mother beast’s abdomen.

“still using this trick? but it seemed useless against it earlier,” little seven said while fighting with mutant beasts. his rifle barrel had reddened. after hurrying to change the rifle, he took a look at the minibus which sprinted to the mother beast. however, this time little seven felt quite worried about it.

but immediately, qi liang’s eyes widened. actually, everyone was shocked by the scene. a pair of robotic arms had appeared from god knows where!

when jiang liushi’s minibus crashed into the mother beast’s body again, the pair of robotic arms slammed the mother beast’s compound eyes, and then the robotic fingers penetrated them.

originally, jiang liushi would use the pair of robotic arms to clear obstacles blocking the road and excavating ravines. but now, he used them to hurt the mother beast’s compound eyes on a deeper level. even if its flesh was metalized, it could not withstand the robotic arms’ penetrating power.

at the same time, from the gunner room, jiang liushi was shooting like crazy. in a flash, a large number of bullets were shot into the deep wounds, which undoubtedly worsened the mother beast’s state. they were not far from defeating it!

the mother beast struggled and used its black tentacles by wrapping them around the robotic arms and attempted to pull them out of the mcv.

‘warning! damage to the body of the mcv is about 1%…about 3%…’

‘warning! the robot arms are damaged about 6%…’

the notification of starseed constantly reverberated in jiang liushi’s mind. although jiang liushi’s heart was in great pain, he could tell that the mother beast was near its end.

fortunately, he could see the mcv’s holographic image and status through starseed. at the same time, he used the robotic arms to dig deeper while the light machine gun’s bullets were wreaking havoc in its body; they had almost pierced through one of the mother beast’s blood channels.

not long after, the hail of bullets penetrated it, and opened up a fatal wound!

‘detected unique blood, which can be used to improve the soil quality of the diverse plants breeding research laboratory…’

‘detected related flesh and bones…’

‘detected level 2+ special energy, which can be absorbed…’

at that moment, the cold mechanical voice echoing in jiang liushi’s mind was the most pleasant sound he had ever heard.

although that sound was as cold and lifeless as ever, it still made jiang liushi smile happily. after waiting all this time patiently, he had finally achieved his purpose.

it seemed that the mother beast’s body was of great use to improve the diverse plants breeding research laboratory, which was one of the matters jiang liushi was worried. it was a secret evolution project, and a lot of its functions were still unknown. not even starseed could give any tips, so jiang liushi could only try step by step on his own.

in the end, he had cultivated a well-bred mutant thorn, which could stably produce a few mutant thorn seeds at a time. it was no doubt that those mutant seeds had helped him a lot as they were extremely fierce. as for other variant plants, jiang liushi lacked rare metals and soil, which were suitable for the variant plants’ growth.

although he had combined a lot of rare metals with mutant meat, and used them to enrich the soil, it was not enough to cultivate mutant plants.

jiang liushi had never expected that the mother beast’s flesh and bones were all suitable for the cultivation and improvement of his mutant plants. he was surprised by this discovery.

however, as he felt pleased with himself, he suddenly got an ominous feeling. the mother beast turned back, revealing the hollow wounds on its compound eyes, and looked at jiang liushi. the moment it did that, jiang liushi could feel his scalp tingling.

“brother jiang, be careful!” ran xiyu yelled in panic and looked at the top of the carriage. the upper part of the carriage was covered by a huge shadow. a full two meters wide, seven meters long tail covered with numerous sharp spikes was descending on jiang liushi’s small gunner room.

that tail whip came out of a sudden, so jiang liushi was caught off guard. as he was about to jump out, he suddenly heard a muffled groan, and someone jumped on top of his gunner room- lu changfei!

“jiang liushi, i owe you a life. the level-5 mission is yours. i will now help to stop it, but you have to kill it as soon as possible!” lu changfei was ferocious, and a man who never liked owing others a favor. however, it was true that jiang liushi had saved his life this time. although lu changfei was extremely unhappy and unwilling to accept his defeat or save jiang liushi, he still decided to do so.

at that moment, lu changfei showed his tenacious willpower and abnormal vitality. he was covered in dry blood lichens and resembled a shriveled devil. his wounds were still bleeding, and he was breathing heavily, while his steel-like muscles were convulsing.

he suddenly ejected a jet of air as straight as an arrow through his nose, and the metallic bone edges on his body grew again. he braced himself and actually supported the great impact from the mother beast’s giant tail!

at the same time, numerous spikes on the giant tail were plunged into his body, and due to the heavy pressure, his veins bulged out of his skin like hemp ropes. although the attack had made him kneel on top of the shaking minibus, lu changfei stared at the mother beast with bloodshot eyes.

“do you want me to die? no way!” seeing that scene, jiang liushi was a bit surprised. at the same time, his impression of lu changfei changed. he was a magnanimous person and quite different from his little brother.

while looking deeply at lu changfei, jiang liushi ordered in his mind. and then a metal barrel drilled out suddenly.

“launch the air cannon!”

‘boom!’

the air cannon let out an earth-piercing sound, and the generated air current stuck the mother beast’s compound eyes.

the air cannon may not have recharged to its full power, but its power was still devastating enough from such a close range.

the mother beast roared in pain as the air current infiltrated its body and many of its internal organs exploded. a few seconds later, the mother beast was finally dead.

when the mother beast truly died, jiang liushi felt his minibus trembling, and through ran xiyu’s shared spiritual vision, he saw that the bloody lichens spread all over the ground were withering quickly.

…

the black water organization and the other teams’ battles were abnormally bloody. a dozen heavy trucks had been destroyed, but the dozen level-2 mutant beasts were almost invincible. other than two, which had died under concentrated fire, the others were fierce.

by this time, ling feng squad has almost used all their weapons and ammunition, but the other teams were not any better. if the black water organization had not arrived in time, the situation would undeniably be grim for the human side. even so, many survivors’ corpses laid on the ground in pools of blood.

it was a chaotic situation, and many people died one after the other. even hou dingkun’s abdomen was hurt by a mutant buffalo. fortunately, zhang hai and sun kun had lent him a hand and ferociously attacked that mutant buffalo.

suddenly, all level-2 mutant beasts felt the mother beast’s death, and their movement became dull for a few seconds. the moment the mother beast died, they felt the suppressive energy coming from the blood lichens disappearing.

they were not afraid of death, but they had already possessed a certain degree of fighting intelligence. as a result, they wouldn’t like to fight with some extremely powerful enemies. the level-2 mutant beasts firstly cast down all the survivors and turned to flee. as for some of the remaining mutant beasts, even if they did not escape, they were not as threatening now.

lu changyang ordered someone to come with him to lift his brother from the ground.

“hahahaha! i’m hard to kill you beast!” lu changfei laughed happily. although his body was covered with cuts and bruises, he was still quite heroic.

“this experience is quite good. it’s been a long time since i last had the chance to feel the threat of death!” lu changfei murmured to himself. but suddenly he looked up to jiang liushi’s minibus with a complex expression. his little brother had already informed him about jiang liushi’s minibus, but he hadn’t expected it to be so powerful.

“brother, how about the mother beast?” lu changyang asked at once when he arrived.

lu changfei naturally knew what his little brother was thinking, but he thought for a moment and said, “give it to jiang liushi! i’ve lost!” lu changfei was saved by jiang liushi, so he was grateful.

“but-” lu changyang was anxious. their team had consumed a lot of resources, and they had lost so many people! moreover, his brother had been severely injured. lu changyang thought at least they should get a share!

“stop! if you want some, then you can go and tell him.” lu changfei sneered while looking at lu changyang. although he was injured, he was still like a fierce tiger. his little brother didn’t dare to ask anymore. it was a pity that he didn’t dare to ask jiang liushi.

‘your battle was awesome! and yet you let him get all the spoils,’ lu changyang thought while jiang liushi was getting off from his minibus.

…

after some time, all the scattered mutant beasts on the ground disappeared. in such a noisy environment, nobody noticed when jiang liushi’s particle beam automatically collected all the materials. however, jiang liushi didn’t absorb the mother beast’s body. after all, it was difficult for him to explain why it had suddenly disappeared.

“hahaha, brother jiang, the level-5 mission has been completed!” qi liang said, even his laughing eyes had been narrowed to a gap-wide.

all the members in the aeolus squad also looked excited. jiang liushi was surrounded by them respectfully, but he didn’t pay heed to it. in this terrible post-apocalyptic world, worshiping a single person was common. moreover, jiang liushi was not an ordinary powerful survivor.

at the same time, he felt a sense of relief. he guessed his team could be re-evaluated as level a!

at that time, a person was carried where they were.

“captain jiang, thank you,” hou dingkun said in a low voice. he had many bloody injuries all over his body. thankfully, he was a paranormal, or else, he would already have died.

if jiang liushi had not helped, hou dingkun’s whole team would have met its end. as a result, he felt thankful to jiang liushi from the bottom of his heart.

“shi ying squad is worthy of the name. it’s ridiculous that they ranked you as level c the first time. thank you very much! my doom walker has benefitted greatly from you…hahaha!” hou dingkun laughed while coughing, and thus, intensifying the pain of his wound.

actually, jiang liushi’s team also couldn’t have completed this mission without the help from other teams.

“president hou, we have an excellent medic, who can help you,” jiang liushi said.

although they had just completed the level-5 mission, jiang liushi appreciated the cooperation. it was necessary to continue maintaining a good relationship with doom walker. and then li yuxin came, looking at jiang liushi kindly.

later, li yuxin said to hou dingkun, “we will find a quiet place so i can give you treatment immediately.”
