What If I Can't Die? - Chapter 659
659 Attack of the Mutated Beasts (1)
He retracted his hand. The obvious palm print and the broken table made the expressions of the woman and the chef who walked out when they heard the sound change drastically.
The equally fat chef hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, I just realized that I made a mistake. You still have a quota of more than 10 kilograms. It’s enough to eat five meals.”
“Then you have to calculate it clearly in the future. I paid you military merits to cook.”
Song Shi gave the chef a cold glance. The obvious killing intent made the latter shiver.
“I won’t. It’s all my fault for not being good at math.”
The chef was sweating profusely. If this person only had good marksmanship, he would not be too afraid. However, he had actually slammed the mud counter into such a state with a single slap. Clearly, he also had extraordinary ability. He was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
After all, this guy was a death row criminal. If he was really angered and slapped him, he would definitely be shattered like the table and die on the spot.
“That’s good. Go and make it quickly. Make five catties for me today!”
Seeing that the two of them were intimidated, Song Shi did not do anything else.
He did not have an immortal body at this moment and could not go too far.
“Okay, I’ll make it for you now.”
The chef gave the fat woman a look. “Come and help.”
The latter hurriedly ran over, her face already pale.
Song Shi retracted his gaze and sat at the table where he usually ate. He frowned slightly.
Although he made the two of them spit out the deducted meat, if no mutated beasts came next, he would not have any meat to eat after four meals. His cultivation speed would be affected.
“Damn it, I didn’t really want mutated beasts to invade when I was weak previously. Now, it’s actually the other way around.”
Song Shi cursed silently. The mutated beast meat had increased his cultivation speed greatly and was now indispensable.
He glanced at the distant wilderness outside the door and wondered if he could go out to hunt mutated beasts. Otherwise, there would really be nothing to eat.
After eating, he went to look for the Camp Commander. The answer he received was no.
Song Shi asked, “Since the mutated beasts are a huge threat, why don’t you take the initiative to attack?”
“That’s a matter for superhumans or mecha troops. It has nothing to do with our garrison.”
The Camp Commander looked at Song Shi. “Moreover, your identity is special. If you leave this place, will you know if you will escape? Especially for a cultivator like you, your marksmanship is good. If you really run out, ordinary soldiers won’t be able to stop you, so you have to stay in the attack range of the battery.”
His impolite words made Song Shi frown. “I won’t go so far as to do such a thing. I just want to earn military merits and eat mutated beast meat.”
“Hmm? Have you finished your mutated beast meat?” The Camp Commander was surprised.
“Soon. In two days, if the mutated beasts don’t attack this place, I’ll have to eat compressed biscuits to fill my stomach.” Song Shi said.
The Camp Commander smiled when he heard this. “Others don’t really want mutated beasts to attack, but you still want them to attack.”
Song Shi shrugged. “Otherwise? Other than killing mutated beasts, what other channels can I use to obtain military merits and mutated beast meat?”
“You have a special identity and indeed don’t have any formal channels. How about this? I’ll lend you military merits and you can return them to me when the time comes.”
The Camp Commander said, “Of course, I can’t transfer the military merits to you. Whatever you want, I’ll exchange it for you in my name.”
“How much interest?”
“There’s no interest. Just take it that I’m investing in you. But you still have to return it to me as soon as possible, and the quota is only a thousand.”
The Camp Commander shook his head and looked at Song Shi. “I don’t want a talent like you to die prematurely in the cannon fodder camp. You can display more value alive.”
“As you wish.”
Song Shi accepted the Camp Commander’s investment. “I want to exchange for intermediate nutrient fluid.”
The Camp Commander’s gaze changed slightly. “Could it be that you’ve already become an official superhuman?”
“Pretty much.”
Song Shi did not say that he had reached Level 2.
“Impressive. To be able to become a superhuman in such an environment, you’re really a talent. You shouldn’t have been buried here.”
The Camp Commander sighed.
“You should also be a superhuman, right?” Song Shi could sense from the other party’s situation that this person was stronger than ordinary people.
“I’m just a Level 1 Enhancer at the lowest level. My physical fitness is three times that of an ordinary person.”
The Camp Commander smiled bitterly. “People like me who rely on drugs to strengthen themselves have limited potential. It’s already not bad if I can reach Level 3 in this life.”
Enhancers were ordinary people who had consumed medicine to increase their physique. They were considered artificial superhumans and their potential was indeed limited.
“I’ll return you a Level 2 Strengthening Fluid in the future.”
Song Shi made a promise. Strengthening Fluid was very expensive. Level 1 ones cost more than 10,000 merits, and Level 2 ones cost more than 30,000 military merits. It was said that this was even at a discount.
“I’d like that.”
The Camp Commander only smiled. He did not think that Song Shi was willing to give him such a generous reward.
Without saying much, Song Shi used the military merits borrowed by the Camp Commander to hold on for a few more days. Finally, on the twelfth day after the last mutated beast invasion, when he had almost used up 1,000 military merits, he encountered another mutated beast invasion.
Upon hearing the alarm, Song Shi, who was cultivating, laughed.
“It’s finally here!”
He shot out of the tent with a sniper rifle and an assault rifle in his hand. There were two grenades hanging from his waist and he was wearing a helmet.
This mutated beast invasion was actually at noon. Song Shi rushed to the sniping spot that the Camp Commander had specially arranged for him and looked up.
After cultivating, Song Shi’s reaction and vision improved greatly. He could easily see the mutated beasts that were still several kilometers away.
This time, not only were there Iron-Skinned Wolves, but there were also many miscellaneous mutated beasts. There were jackals with mouths full of mucus, snakes, rats, and other wild animals. There were even many strange-sized insects. What surprised Song Shi the most was that birds were flying over in midair.
“Mutated beast invasion, activate level two alert. All official soldiers, prepare for battle.”
The Camp Commander personally gave the order in front of the fort. The official soldiers who had not fought before walked out one after another and hid in the trench with solemn expressions.
“Oh my god, I knew it. It’s most likely the calm before the storm that hasn’t been disturbed by mutated beasts for more than ten days. I didn’t expect it to really be like this.”
“Damn it, so these guys have been preparing their ultimate move for the past ten days.”
“A group attack is the most terrifying. I wonder if I can block it this time.”
Some of the old cannon fodder turned pale and could not help but curse.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Soon, with a strange sound, the official soldiers actually attacked first.
Laser beams shot out, causing his eyes to light up. His muscles instantly hit the birds that were still a kilometer away, causing corpses to fall one after another.
These lasers only attacked the birds in the sky. None of them were aimed at the walking beasts, snakes, and insects on the ground.
This time, the military merit notification did not appear. Clearly, it would not be reminded when there was a level two alert.
Song Shi took out his sniper rifle and aimed it at a bison. From this guy’s head, he could tell that it was a huge threat. Not to mention the sharp horns and the hide that was much thicker than the Iron-skinned Wolf.
The cannon fodder below also fired. When the bullets hit this guy, they did not even leave a bloody hole and actually bounced off.
Song Shi narrowed his eyes and prepared to test the power of the armor-piercing bullet.
BANG!
With a loud bang, the armor-piercing bullet from the sniper rifle flew out. In the blink of an eye, the head of a bison 800 meters away exploded. It was shot through the head, and the latter was like a small mountain.
He was not in a hurry to shoot. After continuing to observe, he realized that there were many weaker mutated beasts among the foreign species this time. They should be Level 1 mutated beasts.
