Chapter 7: The Shadow of Gluttony
"Hmm!"
Joseph Halley III let out a soft sigh of relief, pulled out the needle inserted in the blood vessel in the back of his hand with one hand, stood up and shook his hand, feeling the huge power surging in his body and the physical state at the peak of his youth, even with his depth, he couldn't help but crack his mouth and chuckle wantonly. It's a really good feeling, the feeling of power surging in your body; The body that has been declining more and more is rejuvenated.
"It's a pity that we have to prepare a better spar solution."
Joseph Halley III glanced helplessly at the empty infusion bottle, and now the solution extracted by the first-grade mutant spar was becoming more and more difficult to satisfy his growing [appetite]. The digression effect is too bad. Joseph Halley III was both dissatisfied and delighted. The reason for the dissatisfaction is that the higher the level of the mutant spar now, the higher the cost of getting, and the joy is that replacing the high-grade spar solution proves the growth of his strength! Although with his status and status, he doesn't need to fight mutant beasts like those warriors and ordinary people, but in this chaotic and dangerous world, even if he is surrounded by bodyguards, if he can have the strength to make the final hole card, who will refuse? Who can say no?
It's just throwing money at kryptonite.
It has been more than a year and nearly two years since the beginning and outbreak of the catastrophic virus, and the world has changed dramatically during this time, and people seem to have returned to the era of ancient times when they fought with the environment and many beasts in order to survive, and they are no longer the rulers of the planet, but have become one of the races struggling to survive.
The connection between countries has become intermittent as more and more mutant beasts evolve or appear, depending on the distance. It's hard to get around the world on a plane as easily as you used to. As in ancient times, going far away, although it is not said to be life and death, can also be said to be full of danger. At present, there are only a few important hub channels that people can clean up and control.
The only good news is that the situation is improving.
Although civilization has unexpectedly turned a corner due to catastrophe, it still exists tenaciously. In the case of unfavorable access to resources, people were pleasantly surprised to use it as a more important resource than stone through the study of mutated spars. Biotechnology has developed vigorously and has begun to advance by leaps and bounds.
Although countries have not yet known the cause of the catastrophic virus, it and its variants are no longer helpless and left to be slaughtered. With every variant that emerges, new variants of vaccines will soon appear, and the process is like a miracle! The research on the catastrophic virus, the research on mutant beasts, and the research on the mutant crystals in some mutant beasts, each country has made unimaginable progress under all its might.
Smooth incredible!
Even if there are ups and downs in the process, under the inexplicable fanatical head and frequent flashing of spiritual light, the bumpy threshold is always quickly crossed.
In addition to being used as a new clean energy source to replace petroleum and coal, mutant crystals have also become an indispensable main resource for the Awakened in their cultivation. The spar solution is a method developed by various countries to maximize the absorption of the power of the spar by the awakened. The formula of the solution varies slightly from country to country, and the efficacy varies from country to country, but there is no doubt that even the solution formula with low effectiveness is more efficient than the Awakened who directly relies on chewing and other methods to absorb the hedron.
Mutant crystals and mutant beasts have quietly replaced the status of gold and oil and become the new invisible currency.
The environment, mutant beasts, and humans seem to have formed a circular ecosystem. Countries are still looking forward to returning to the stable and peaceful environment they used to be, but they no longer see mutant beasts as disaster beasts that can only bring disaster. Rather, as a new reserve of resources, as well as new rations!
When food is scarce, people are never picky eaters!
Even in the previously peaceful and stable world, a new species has emerged that seems to be edible and inedible, and there are always people who are willing to be the first to eat crabs. Not to mention that the meat of some mutant beasts is indeed delicious. Selecting some mutant beasts with low harm, high reproductive rate, and good meat quality for captivity research as new food reserves has become a matter that has been put on the desk by various bases in various countries or has entered the implementation stage.
……
A huge beetle-like monster raised its head, and thin juice foam splashed in its mouthparts, the current environment has changed, not only people are changing, beasts are changing, even plants are also changing, such a huge size of insects, and only in an ancient era has appeared. The monster has two pairs of long chelas, the whole body is wrapped in a thick carapace, and the left and right ten pairs of swarthy legs swing neatly on the ground, supporting its huge body, it is about six meters long, more than a meter high, and the air currents rolled up between the wielding of the long claws whined like a ghost crying.
Several human awakened people threw a few ropes like vines to tie the monster's legs, allowing it to drag some of them around in a rage, and there were still people using tools to stabilize their bodies, and they tried their best to tug of war with it, fixing it in a general range, the monster was a little angry, and the light around it suddenly dimmed, as if it had entered the starry moonless night directly from the bright day, a dazzling forty-meter-long machete from top to bottom, cutting it vertically like cream, Its corpse was still alive and struggling. In half of the body, a sac-like organ was cut open, and a foul-smelling liquid poured down the mouth, revealing a gray-green solid, the length and thickness of the baby's arm, which was the spar organ of the carapace monster. Of course, when it is said that it is a spar, it does not mean that it is really a gem-like thing, but that it is just an organ of the mutant beast.
"Captain, amazing!"
The people around immediately shouted, and then the division of labor and cooperation in an orderly manner, some called the rear transport team to come up, and some people began to collect some white flowers on the monster's body, cotton wool-like meat, and cleaned it up as the next rations. This beetle, which they named Orcara, looks terrible and dangerous, but in fact, compared to mutant beasts of the same level, it is not very dangerous, the meat is also extremely delicious, and the hedron organs are also large and numerous, and it is one of the favorite and most commonly hunted mutant beast species around this base. Research and captive programmes on it have also been ongoing.
The forty-meter-long machete vanished like a shatter, and Mira stood up, calmly waiting for the compliments and admiration of the team. At first, he would have been delighted by the admiration, but now that all this time had passed, he was a little numb.
"Collect as soon as possible, we replenish our strength, and after handing over to the transport team, we will go to another place. These two days are a bit of a lot of clean-up tasks. Yara commanded. The childishness on his face was now completely gone, replaced by a maturity after grinding.
……
In the illusory dimension of the planet, a huge figure made a purring sound, and the spiritual storm raged in this dark space, if someone entered here and was swept away by this spiritual storm, the whole person was afraid that he would be tormented by the mental storm.
"Hungry ......", it's screaming!
