"This gentleman, you should be a cadet who has just left the academy, right? ”

Seeing Zhang Ran's expression, the usher was not surprised, smiled faintly, and politely explained to Zhang Ran.

"I see. ”

With a promise, Zhang Ran still finished reading the tasks in the task manual, and then handed the task manual back to the receptionist.

After reading the task, Zhang Ran left the task area and came to the trading area next to the mission area.

With the exchange coupon issued by the Black Eagle Academy, Zhang Ran also successfully exchanged for a military thorn.

Of course, this military thorn is just an ordinary steel military thorn, which is worth about a few hundred Black Eagle Coins, and if Zhang Ran wants to get a more advanced alloy, he must accumulate Black Eagle Coin to buy it himself.

After getting the weapon in hand, Zhang Ran didn't stay any longer, took off the training uniform of the academy, changed into the field uniform, field boots and field gloves in the backpack, and left the base alone.

Zhang Ran's target this time was a rampaging gopher. Zhang Ran plans to gain evolutionary energy by hunting rampaging gophers, first improving his physical fitness to the limit of ordinary people, and then challenging some more advanced mutant beasts.

"Chip, turn on the recording mode, enrich the simulation map, and analyze the best hunting locations and routes at the same time!"

Walking through the long cave, Zhang Ran left the forward base and returned to the wilderness, and at the same time, Zhang Ran silently gave instructions to the chip in his mind.

"Ding, the recording mode is on, your perception will be intercepted by the chip and used to enrich the simulation map!"

"Ding! The best hunting spot has been marked on the simulated map, and the best path has been planned!"

Accompanied by the system's prompt sound, several purple pillars of light also appeared in the simulated map in front of Zhang Ran's eyes, marking the places where the rampaging gopher most often appeared.

"Well, let's start with the nearest place, Chip, and open the navigation. ”

While instructing, Zhang Ran also followed the route planned by the chip, away from the forward base, and rushed to the first rampaging gopher nest.

In the area of one kilometer near the forward base, because of the long-term cleaning, there was no such scene as the wilderness, but it looked like a desolate town, but when Zhang Ran moved further away from the advance base, a unique scene in the wilderness also quickly appeared.

Above Zhang Ran's current direction is an asphalt street, but above the street, it is already overgrown with waist-high pale yellow weeds and moss, as well as many strangely shaped mutant plants, most of which are gray or pale yellow in color.

On both sides of the street, the original concrete buildings have all collapsed, leaving only a few moss-covered low walls, and some concrete scraps remain on the ground, and among the remains of the buildings and the grass, there are occasionally mutated creatures shuttling by.

Along the way, in addition to mutated plants, the streets are also mutated plants. It stands to reason that there should be a lot of scrapped cars on such a wide street, but there is not a single one to be seen here.

Obviously, the wreckage of these vehicles had been dismantled by the previous cadets and brought back to the forward base to be sold—the metal was worth ten Black Hawk Coins per kilogram, and in addition to not being able to gain evolutionary energy, it was a safer and more effective way to make money than hunting mutants.

"Hey, there's movement!"

Just as Zhang Ran was walking down the street, he suddenly heard the sound of biological activity coming from the grass next to his ears. With his knee-jerk mechanical reaction, Zhang Ran was ready for battle and clenched the military thorn in his hand.

"A mutant creature has been detected approaching on the right, please be on guard against the host!"

And just as Zhang Ran took out the military thorn, the warning sound of the chip almost sounded in Zhang Ran's mind, and then, a black shadow jumped out of the grass and pounced on Zhang Ran!

It was a huge black mouse, about the size of a hound, with a body larger than a rampaging gopher, a strong rancid smell all over its body, and blood-red eyes full of violent color.

"Bone Eater!"

Looking at the mutant beast in front of him, Zhang Ran's heart immediately jumped out of this name, and at the same time, his body quickly rolled to the side, dodging the attack of the bone-eater rat.

The Bone Eater, also one of the common mutated creatures in the wilderness, is more powerful and aggressive than the Raging Gopher, and is more inclined to feed on humans than the omnivorous Raging Gopher, and often actively attacks humans.

What's even more terrifying is that the body of the bone-eating rat carries deadly germs, and if there is no evolutionary-level physique, once an ordinary person is scratched, he must amputate his limbs, otherwise he will be infected with a terminal disease, and the blood in his body will turn black in just a few hours, and finally die in extreme pain.

Because of this, the bone-eater rat is also considered to be an extremely dangerous mutant creature in the wilderness, and in the face of its attack, Zhang Ran is also cautious, not daring to be touched by it, and at the same time, in Zhang Ran's eyes, the three-dimensional image and attributes of the bone-eater rat also suddenly appeared.

[Enemy Name: Bone Eater]

[Hunting Level: Level 0]

[Strength: 1.7]

[Constitution: 1.4]

[Dexterity: 1.7]

[Spirit: 0.6]"

While checking the weaknesses and attributes of the Bone Eater Rat, Zhang Ran also turned over and got up, taking advantage of the Bone Eater Rat's kung fu to fall to the ground, Zhang Ran stepped on the back of the Bone Eater Rat!

"Click!"

Zhang Ran's foot stepped on the spine of the bone-eater rat fiercely, and with the sound of bones breaking, the bone-eater's spine was broken by Zhang Ran's kick!

The vertebrae were trampled off, and the bone-eater rat also lost control of its body, and its limbs fluttered weakly, but it was never able to turn over, while Zhang Ran stepped on the bone-eater's body to death, while holding the military thorn with both hands, aiming at the bone-eater's head and cutting it off.

"Click!"

The military thorn in Zhang Ran's hand was viciously chopped down, and there was another sound of bones shattering, the head of the bone-eater rat was cut off by Zhang Ran, and the purple-black blood spurted out of the neck of the bone-eater rat, exuding a foul-smelling breath, and the head of the bone-eater rat was rushed out by the blood pressure in the neck.

This time the battle ended with Zhang Ran's easy victory, Zhang Ran's attributes had completely crushed the bone-eater rat, and he discovered the bone-eater's sneak attack for the first time, so he naturally killed it without accident.

With the death of the bone-eating rat, warm currents poured into his body from Zhang Ran's pores, and followed the blood vessels all the way to his vertebrae. In the place where this evolutionary energy flows, the cells in Zhang Ran's body are undergoing mysterious changes, and the cell activity begins to slowly increase, and Zhang Ran's physical fitness further increases.

"The body is transformed by evolutionary energy, +0.001 for strength, +0.001 for constitution, and +0.001 for spirit. ”

The more powerful the mutant beast, the more evolution energy it will gain after slashing. Although the evolutionary energy obtained from killing the Bone Eater Rat this time is much less than that of using a Level 1 Gene Enhancement Elixir, it is definitely much richer than the mutant beasts that Zhang Ran killed in the past, making his three major attributes more than one-thousandth higher.
