Chapter 525: Wan Yiling

Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave

Even though the mutant snake had been shot to the head, it was still struggling. But no matter how it struggled, Ran Xiyu, Ling and Jiang Zhuying dealt with it in perfect synch. In the end, the snake died with hatred for the puny humans that had led it to that sorry state.

For Jiang Liushi's team, this battle couldn't be considered a difficult one as they had already dealt with a level 2+ mutant beast and more than one level-2 mutant zombies in the past. The mutant snake may have been powerful, but it had not reached level-2. Its power stemmed from the Black Light. That was also the reason that Jiang Liushi had decided to deal with it. Otherwise, he would have let the army deal with it.

Unknowingly, the power of Jiang Liushi's minibus and all members of Shi Ying Squad had improved. Jiang Zhuying was already a level-2 paranormal, while Ling and Ran Xiyu were not far from breaking through. Moreover, Ying and Jiang Liushi could coordinate much better than in the past. As a result, it was an easy thing for Shi Ying Squad to fight against the mutant snake.

As the mutant snake's blood oozed out, the minibus and Starseed were constantly absorbing the Black Light.

'All Black Light has been absorbed! 89% of Black Light is still needed to access the main panel,' transmitted Starseed.

"It reached 11% just like that!?" whispered Jiang Liushi in excitement. The mutant birds' blood carried little energy, but the mutant snake had given him much more than them.

'The Black Hole must not have only sent that mutant snake to infiltrate this place. There should be more! We'd better find our next target!' thought Jiang Liushi. He was in a good mood as Starseed had sensed more sources of Black Light not too far away from them.

At that moment, the War Squad finished killing the last mutant earthworm. Then, Lu Tianyu and his subordinates drove toward the minibus.

"They finished the battle swiftly and without any casualties on top of that," praised Ji Xiangming while staring at Jiang Liushi.

Initially, Ji Xiangming didn't like Jiang Liushi as Wan Lan had been demoted because of him. Ji Xiangming had a strong aversion to people who had very strong backing. However, Shi Ying Squad's performance had shocked him greatly. It was evident that the Shi Ying Squad's real backing was its power. Not only Ji Xiangming, but even Lu Tianyu would like to throw himself down at Jiang Liushi's feet in admiration.

"Captain Jiang, can we buy the body of this mutant snake from you? We'd like to pay for it at a reasonable price," asked Lu Tianyu.

There was no doubt that Jiang Liushi's team had killed the mutant snake. If they were not strong, Lu Tianyu could have ordered him to hand it over on behalf of the military. However, he had to make a deal with Jiang Liushi as equals due to the latter's strength.

"Its body?" Jiang Liushi thought carefully. Actually, part of its body had turned black. The rest of it could be used as food, but nothing special.

"Okay. I'll give it to you for 10 level-1 mutant nuclei," said Jiang Liushi.

"10? That's too many!" shouted an officer after hearing Jiang Liushi's request.

Although level-1 mutant nuclei were already outdated, as the raw material for making evolution crystals, they were still quite precious. And Jiang Liushi needed 10 level mutant nuclei at once!

"Killing the mutant snake was as difficult as killing a level-2 mutant zombie. Of course and I'll sell it for 10 level-1 mutant nuclei," explained Jiang Liushi.

"Give the 10 nuclei to Captain Jiang," Wan Yiling ordered suddenly.

fLu Tianyu frowned, but then he said, "Well, good deal! Unfortunately, we don't have them with us. You can get them as soon as you visit the military's office."

"Okay." Jiang Liushi accepted happily. He knew clearly that it was impossible for the government and military to act shamelessly just for 10 mutant nuclei.

Suddenly, the mutant snake's triangular head crashed on the ground as the last strand of energy was absorbed by the minibus. Its previously crimson-red eyes had lost their luster. The black holes on its body had also turned hazy. Inside them was flesh and blood, but pitch darkness.

No longer being able to stay in the car, Wan Yiling rushed toward the mutant snake. Then, she stopped and walked around, inspecting the black holes. "Yes! We got them!" she whispered excitedly.

Lu Tianyu couldn't help but ask, "Secretary Wan, you have to give us an explanation. What are you talking about? Are you familiar with this kind of monster?"

After doomsday, the world had become a chaotic place. Titles were no longer important, only the military's might. Although Han Yuan was Lu Tianyu's superior, the latter didn't put Secretary Wan in his eyes.

Wan Yiling merely glanced at him and said, "Even if I explained to you, you wouldn't understand!"

"You!" She had really irritated Lu Tianyu.

Before they continue bickering, Jiang Liushi launched the minibus.

"Captain Jiang, where would you like to go?" asked Ji Xiangming urgently.

"The coal plant." After answering, they set off.

'Jiang Liushi was probably attracted by another mutant snake,' thought Lu Tianyu. Unfortunately, the War Squad could not follow him as they still needed to treat the wounded.

Wan Yiling's face was sparkling. She was still walking around the snake's carcass. As Starseed and the minibus had absorbed every strand of Black Light from the snake, the black holes on its body were gradually disappearing. Even flesh and blood around those black holes began to fester. In a very short period of time, the mutant snake would rot away completely.

...

An hour later, Jiang Liushi killed a mutant mouse in the coal plant. Generally speaking, the size of ordinary mutant mice was similar to that of a big dog's. However, that mutant mouse was as huge as a car. Its horrible front teeth could tear a car into pieces. For it, cement was just like tofu. Instead of a tail, it had a black hole, swallowing everything from wherever it passed. Moreover, it could dig extremely fast and sneak into the ground from time to time.

When Jiang Liushi killed it, other people found that almost all the soil had been emptied by the mutant mouse. There was a nest of mice in the shelter, but they were also large as cats. Thankfully Jiang Liushi had ruined its nest. Otherwise, the whole Jiangning Safety Zone would be ruined by those mice. It would be no end of trouble for the future.

The body of that mutant mouse was also bought by Wan Yiling. After absorbing all the Black Light contained in the mutant mice, the energy required to access the main panel had been reduced to 77%.

Jiang Liushi was quite satisfied. At the same time, he started to wonder how to get the remaining 77% of energy. After some time, he cast his sights outside the city wall. The Black Hole was hidden between the tall buildings in the distance.

'The two battles with these mutant beasts gave me confidence. Moreover, my minibus will be upgraded in…' thought Jiang Liushi.

He had already felt that even if he didn't find those black holes, they would find him. The reaction of the two mutant beasts was proof. They had a strong interest in Jiang Liushi, as well as his minibus. Unfortunately for them, Jiang Liushi also had a very strong interest in those black holes.

Wan Yiling suddenly walked to Jiang Liushi and said, "Captain Jiang, I am the secretary of General Han Yuan of Huaxia Region, Wan Yiling. I have something to discuss with you."

Jiang Liushi looked at Wan Yiling curiously. 'Wan Yiling? Her surname was also Wan!' Jiang Liushi immediately remembered Wan Lan. It was a quite interesting development!

Wan Yiling didn't look very beautiful, but her temperament was indeed unique. She was wearing a pair of stylish black-rimmed glasses. As long as she spoke, others would be attracted by her quickly.

However, for Jiang Liushi, it was nothing. "What do you want to discuss with me?" asked Jiang Liushi faintly.

A hint of surprise flashed in Wan Yiling's eyes due to Jiang Liushi's reaction. She smiled and then said, "The higher-ups of Jiangning Safety Zone have given control of all the paranormals in the Safety Zone to General Han Yuan."

"Oh? But it's none of my business," replied Jiang Liushi coldly. No matter who that Han Yuan was, it's none of his business.

"Captain Jiang, you misunderstood. I don't mean that. I want to invite Captain Jiang and your Shi Ying Squad to join our team and cooperate with us to destroy Black Hole. The reward is high. Although Captain Jiang is a carefree person, as far as I know, Miss Li Yuxin's grandpa and mother are currently working in the Safety Zone. If the Black Hole reached this place… As the saying goes, when a bird's nest is overturned, no egg can remain intact. Moreover, Jiangning Safety Zone is ready to fight against it. I guessed that Captain Jiang may care about them and help them."

Seeing that Jiang Liushi was still silent, Wan Yiling added, "As for the Black Hole, we have some understanding about it."

Upon hearing that, Jiang Liushi showed some interest.
