Chapter Twenty-Eight: Just an Appetizer!

Jason muttered under his breath.

The night breeze is blowing.

In the darkness, invisible figures silently approached Jason.

Cloaked in cloaks and masks, with blades or spears or darts in their hands, they look like a pack of wolves approaching their prey.

They looked at their companions who were hanging on the branches, and their eyes suddenly appeared as if they were a real hideous and murderous intent.

Without hesitation, the scouts armed with darts began to attack!

Whoosh, whoosh!

The round wheel dart cut through the air.

The sound was like a starting gun.

More than a dozen scouts rushed towards Jason at the same time.

Bowl blades and spears were aimed at Jason's vital point.

Jason was surrounded almost instantly.

"Jason!"

Cortana subconsciously exclaimed as she watched the scene, and then, instinctively, she raised the gun in her hand, wanting to support Jason.

But at this time, a thick fog fell!

[Fog Hidden]!

A fog with a radius of 45 meters shrouded the surroundings, and Jason and the Scout all disappeared into the thick fog.

Cortana was stunned and put down her gun.

She looked at the fog in the distance, listening to the sound of metal blades cutting flesh and blood in the thick fog, and her eyes were full of worry.

She didn't know if it was from the intruders or Jason.

The two subordinates also looked at it with full attention.

However, the two were prepared for the worst.

You know, that's ten scouts!

Even Jason can fight one with his bare hands, but what about ten?

I'm afraid I'm going to die a tragic death!

The two of them thought involuntarily in their hearts.

As for Jason's 'immortality'?

They had read the information, but they had already been in contact with the 'mysterious side', but they didn't think that Jason was 'immortal'.

It must have been something that could be done with a lot of rituals and a lot of materials.

It's pretty awesome to be able to do it once.

Twice?

In their perception, this is commendable enough?

And more?

They don't know it anymore.

But one thing is clear to them: not dying cannot be as simple as eating.

The two subordinates glanced at each other.

One of them clenched a large-caliber submachine gun, the other tightened the steering wheel.

As soon as something is wrong, they plan to leave.

It's not that I'm afraid of death.

Rather, they had to take Commander Cortana back, a secret order from headquarters.

'In times of crisis, bring back Cortana, even with your lives!' ’

As soldiers, they are sworn to do it.

The fog gradually dissipated.

The two stared there, and the next moment, their eyes widened at the same time.

What do they see?

The corpses of the Scouts were piled on top of each other, and Jason sat tall on them, the cold moonlight shining on the mask, reflecting a scarlet red beneath his feet.

Ten scouts died?

Just dead?

How did Jason do it?

Doubts and shocks filled the minds of Ai Wei and Crow.

But Cortana didn't.

She was also shocked, but more of a surprise.

The lady looked at Jason, who was sitting on the corpse of the intruder, and the brilliance that had just disappeared in her eyes reappeared, along with an extremely unfamiliar emotion.

It was a kind of sentiment mixed with the worship of the strong, but it was a little different.

She watched in a daze as Jason suddenly raised the short-handled broad-bladed machete in his hand and pointed it in one place.

Zila, zila.

In the midst of the sound of electricity, in the empty place, an intruder similar to a scout lifted his cloak.

However, unlike the average Scout, this intruder is much stronger, and the upper body is still wearing armor.

"Raiders!"

"How can there be assaulters here?"

Cortana's face changed the moment the intruder appeared.

The Raiders are the main force of the Sabi people on the frontal battlefield with the human alliance, each of which is powerful and well-armed, and in battle, it takes a whole team of 30 people to have a chance to take out the opponent.

But more often than not, most of the human warriors facing the Raiders choose to die together.

Because these raiders don't just act alone, they also command a team of hundreds of Sabian soldiers.

However, the Raiders only appear on frontal battlefields and never appear on the ground.

Cortana had seen an assaulter on the ground for the first time.

"Jason, be careful, it's Raider......"

Airplanes!

Cortana reminded Jason, but before he could finish his words, he was locked onto a miniature cannon on the Raider's shoulder, which was completely built into the armor, and was not only capable of self-aiming, but also extremely powerful.

The three-point infrared specks directly locked onto the car in which Cortana was riding.

The next moment, a point of light erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, like a flying meteor.

Rumble!

After modification, the bulletproof car, which is immune to gunfire, was directly blown into the sky.

When she heard the muzzle charging, Cortana and her two subordinates ran out of the car, when the wreckage of the car fell from mid-air and smashed heavily in front of them.

The three of them had different expressions.

Cortana looked at Jason worriedly.

Ai Wei and Crowe subconsciously blocked in front of Cortana, exchanging glances with each other.

Jason was able to take out ten Scouts, which was a real surprise to them.

But the Raider is different!

One raider is not comparable to ten scouts.

The opponent's strong body and skillful use of weapons can easily take out any scout, and the shoulder cannon that can be called a killer weapon is enough to make any scout fodder a cannon fodder.

Jason has no chance of winning against the other party!

Such a thought came to the minds of the two.

"Sir, we need to retreat."

Ai Wei spoke directly.

"Yes, sir."

"The appearance of the raiders, we must report again, so that the entire 'extraterrestrial investigation bureau' can be more vigilant."

Crowe spoke much more tactfully.

"Hmm."

"You guys go back to the Cherry City branch right now and report to the headquarters what's going on here."

"I'll find a way to help Jason and wait for help to come."

Cortana nodded.

However, the answer confirmed that Aiwei frowned, and he was about to speak out against it, but Cortana was his commander, and it violated his soldier's creed to do so, so Aiwei was silent.

And Crow saluted immediately.

"Yes, sir!"

Crowe said, and just as Konata turned, a knife struck Cortana unconscious.

"Crow, you?"

Ai Wei hugged Cortana directly.

"The orders of the headquarters take precedence over the orders of the chief of Cortana."

Crow said in a non-hesitating tone.

Then, taking Cortana from Aiwei's hands, he picked it up, turned around and ran.

Ai Wei saluted Jason, who was confronting the raider, before following away.

Jason, sitting on the corpses of the scouts, saw the scene.

He didn't care, though.

In Jason's opinion, the three Cortana are as important as the 'food' under him and in front of him.

In order not to have any accidents with the 'food', he also deliberately folded it and sat on it.

As for the food in front of you?

That's the unexpected surprise.

Jason looked at the shoulder cannon on his shoulder, and the smell of 'food' coming from there was more fragrant than the 'food' worn by the Scout under him combined.

"Did you come across the regular roast duck at the buffet?"

"It's really gratifying."

Jason couldn't help but muttered to himself.

Then, the figure sitting there just disappeared.

Night, darkness, shadows, never stand in the way of Jason.

Instead, it's Jason's home turf!

In another core skill, War Paint. Pruth. Griffin. With the blessing of the Shadow Forging Technique and the derivative talent [Embrace of the Night], Jason is a well-deserved master of concealment and stealth.

Drip, drip!

The moment Jason disappeared, a series of rings began to sound on the right side of Sabi's Raider's mask.

Three small red dots began to flicker incessantly, searching around.

Thermal images began to appear in the eyes of the raiders.

But, no Jason!

The Sabi Raiders looked around, and neither its senses nor its technological probes noticed Jason's presence, causing it to let out a roar of unknown meaning.

At the same time, a short rod appeared in its hand

Boom!

With a flick of the wrist, the short handle turned into a spear.

The Sabi Star Raider began to swing his spear at the air around him.

Woo, woo!

In the dull sound of breaking the air, nothing was found.

Then, the Sabi Star Raider began to expand the scope of his search-

Squeak, squeak!

The shoulder cannon began to turn.

Instead of charging, he began to fire in tandem around him.

Bang, bang!

Meteor-like energy projectiles smashed around the assaulters.

Boom Boom!

Explosions rang out one after another, shaking up patches of dirt, and a figure covered in wet and cold mud burst out of it, and the short-handled broad-bladed machete in his hand slashed straight out.

Burst!

A flash of coldness.

A knife to the head.

The sound of waving and shooting stopped abruptly.

Thump!

The assaulter fell to his knees in a daze.

It didn't understand why Jason was in front of it, and it didn't feel it at all.

It's not just a master-level stealth, stealth skill.

And mud!

After seeing how the Raider had locked on to the three Cortanas before the Raider's shoulder cannon, Jason guessed that the other party should have used infrared thermal imaging technology to automatically lock onto the target.

So, when he entered the stealth state, he deliberately rolled in a small puddle among the trees.

The effect is even better than expected.

Jason slashed the other man with ease.

For Jason, the assaulter in front of him was not as good as the ten scouts before him.

The previous ten scouts coordinated with each other to attack, and they also caused him some problems.

And the raider in front of you?

Under the premise of 1v1, Jason does not think that the opponent is much better than the scout.

Even if the other party is stronger, it is within his range of response, and that shoulder cannon?

As long as you are prepared, it is an ornament.

Of course, what worries Jason the most is what the shoulder cannon tastes like.

Click, click!

Jason used brute force to remove the opponent's shoulder cannon from the armor, and then, the spear, bowl blade, darts, etc. in the opponent's hand were placed on a clean plastic sheet together with the food collected earlier, and from the backpack on one side, he took out the spirits and began to rinse them one by one.

Now that he knew that there might be 'food' coming, Jason was naturally well prepared.

It's not just about disinfecting spirits.

He also brought seasonings.

Black pepper sauce spreads on the blades.

Mustard honey sauce spread on the darts.

Tomato sauce spread on the spear.

It's not that he didn't come unprepared, Jason had already tasted all the 'food' he got from the scout before, so he naturally knew how to choose the spices.

Deep-fried chicken tender-flavored bowl blades.

Fried chicken nugget flavored darts.

There are also spears flavored with fries.

Crunchy.

Jason began a pleasant late-night supper.

【Devouring Melee Blade X11】

[Stamina, energy, and injuries have been greatly recovered!] 】

Satiety +22

[Satiety: 238]

……

【Devouring Wheel Dart X11】

[Moderate recovery of physical strength, energy, and injuries!] 】

【Satiety +11】

[Satiety: 249]

……

【Devouring Telescopic Spearx11】

【Satiety +11】

[Satiety: 260]

……

When he ate all of the appetizers, Jason picked up the shoulder cannon and opened his mouth to bite down.

Crunch!

In the sound of metal twisting, Jason felt that the texture was just right crispy, especially when a special sweet pulp immediately flowed from the inside, Jason's eyes lit up.

"Cheese!"

He immediately confirmed this.

Then, after a little chewing, there is a real conclusion about the 'shoulder cannon'.

"Cheese Popping Chicken Cutlet!"

Without hesitation, Jason picked up the tomato juice, smeared it on the remaining 'shoulder cannon', and chewed it again.

[Swallow ** sharp shoulder cannon! ] 】

[Excess recovery of physical strength, energy, and injuries!] 】

【Satiety +45】

[Satiety: 305]

……

Seeing that he had reached 300+ satiety again, Jason couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"101 lives?"

Jason felt a little more secure in his heart.

Since learning about the existence of the Sabi people, Jason can't see anything on the surface, but he is extremely insecure in his heart.

You know, this is no ordinary battle.

Instead, they faced a showdown of space battleships.

What would he do if a Sabian spaceship suddenly appeared in the sky above Cherry City?

This is not some unfounded assumption.

Cortana's surprise when the raiders appeared was enough to show that the situation was going beyond the response of the 'Extraterrestrial Investigation Bureau'.

And this also means that something may have happened on the lunar battlefield where the 'Extraterrestrial Confrontation Bureau' is located.

So, he had to be ready.

However, after the Sabi Star Man battleship appeared, the altitude of the flight was determined, and he was most likely beaten passively.

How many guns are there on that space battleship, in addition to the powerful main guns?

Jason didn't know.

But he knew that under the salvo of the other party, he should have been directly vaporized.

He had been crushed more than once.

Gasification is not.

Pain is natural.

But what was even more painful was the high temperature and various energy residues he faced after vaporization.

I'm afraid it will make him die many more times.

Therefore, he can only let himself have a few more 'lives'.

Because, he believed, even the Sabi people's energetic warships would not be able to fire salvos all the time.

When these ships stopped firing, it was time for him to counterattack.

He must fight back!

Because—

He wanted to taste what that battleship was like!

It's sure to be delicious!

Jason's eyes sparkled like never before.

A shoulder cannon is 45 points of satiety!

How many battleships are there in the whole ship?

Boom!

Unable to help himself, Jason began to swallow.

However, Jason still has his senses, and he knows that if he wants to eat the 'battleship', he must have a special 'cutlery'.

At the very least, let him reach the battleship's 'cutlery'.

Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone from the bag he had just received and called John.

"Can you get a plane?"

"Hmm."

"Just in case."

"Okay, got it."

Puzzled, John replied in the affirmative.

As for waiting for the battleship to land?

Not to mention, he didn't know whether the opponent's warship would land.

That wait time alone was too long for Jason.

He couldn't wait.

Call!

Taking a deep breath of the cool night air in the suburbs, Jason, who hung up the phone, looked at the road in the distance, and a bulletproof car similar to the previous one appeared.

A man in a cloak and a hood covering his face walked towards Jason.

The other party stared at the corpses of those scouts, and even more carefully looked at the assaulter who was beheaded with a knife, and finally looked at Jason.

The other party first kept a certain distance from Jason, and then said in a hesitant and slightly suspicious tone-

"Humans?"
