Chapter 10: Killer (2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It all happened in an instant, and Wang Wei did not expect everything to move that quickly!

Previously, after Wang Wei and the others had escaped, they thought to immediately leave in the car. However, the Grade Two Beast Core was too tempting to them. 1

The six of them gathered together and discussed it before deciding to wait for a while.

If Yang Tian died, they would immediately flee by car.

If Yang Tian was victorious and extracted a Grade Two Beast Core from the Tank Lizard’s carcass, they would find a way to kill him and claim the Grade Two Beast Core. 1

They had a lot of confidence in this plan. In their judgment, even if Yang Tian succeeded, he would be exhausted and would need time to rest and recuperate. If they could get close to Yang Tian, they had more than a 50% chance to kill him.

Wang Wei did not expect that before they could open fire, Yang Tian had already dashed off to one side and took cover behind a boulder.

However, it was no big deal. If bullets could not hit him, there were still Electric Grenades!

“Use Electric Grenades!” Wang Wei bellowed.

The gunfire stopped. He thought that these men had perhaps never witnessed the terrible power of a Transhuman.

This short window of time was Yang Tian’s opportunity.

As Wang Wei shouted and the gunfire briefly stopped. Yang Tian rapidly turned and threw a dagger.

“Oh!”

The dagger embedded itself in between the eyes of one of the men.

Yang Tian did not stop moving and threw the other dagger which buried itself in the chest of another man.

Sun Ming and Liu Hao were the ones killed by Yang Tian.

Yang Tian had an excellent memory, and he remembered the names of every man when Wang Wei introduced them. 4

After throwing two daggers, Yang Tian was weaponless. He thought to himself that he should have brought a gun, but how could he expect to encounter humans fighting among themselves. 6

This was a mistake to Yang Tian! 1

Outside the city, if one wanted to survive, they had to be wary of not only the Monsters but their own species as well!

Witnessing Yang Tian kill two men in the blink of an eye, the other men immediately felt fearful and turned to run.

Wang Wei cursed the three cowards. He activated the Electric Grenade in his hand and chucked it at Yang Tian.

The Electric Grenade was a new type of weapon. When it detonated, there was an explosion radius of over ten meters. Within this radius, both human and Monster would be subject to a very powerful electric attack.

From experiments, baseline humans would be unable to resist this shock of electricity. Only strong Warriors and Monsters would not be at risk of losing their lives.

Wang Wei intended to stun Yang Tian, and then finish him off with a bullet.

The plan was perfect but reality was cruel. The grenades he threw had yet to touch the ground when they were caught by Yang Tian. He then quickly threw them back at Wang Wei. 3

As powerful as Electric Grenades were, they had a three to four-second delay. Wang Wei did not think to wait for a moment after arming the grenade before throwing it. Even if he did, Yang Tian would not give him the time.

Buzz buzz!

The two grenades detonated near Wang Wei, releasing a colossal amount of electric energy.

Wang Wei’s body was within range of the electric field, and his body spasmed as if he was possessed. His eyes rolled back into his head and he trembled uncontrollably. When the electricity finally dissipated, his rigid body collapsed onto the ground.

Yang Tian had long since vaulted over the boulder and picked up an assault rifle from one of the corpses. He fired into the backs of the three men who were trying to get into a car.

Yang Tian had learned how to fire a gun in school. It was a compulsory course in times like these. 1

After his ascension, Yang Tian’s ability to control a firearm had improved as well. His marksmanship was perfect and in an instant, he had dispatched the other three men.

Yang Tian walked over to Wang Wei’s corpse and fired twice at it. 6

Just in case. 1

Yang Tian was growing step by step. That day, he learned to be ruthless. 4

If he had not allowed Wang Wei and company to approach him from the start, they would not have had the chance to ambush him. Yang Tian would have not needed to deal with this sort of trouble.

Yang Tian had not spent long outside of the city, and he was clearly still naive in some respects. However, he was maturing quickly.

There was some gain from this encounter.

That was the three cars.

At least in the future when he traveled, he would not need to walk. He could also transport more items.

The doors of all three cars were open, and the car keys were there too. Yang Tian inspected the vehicles and found a crate of drinking water, a crate of biscuits, and a crate of tinned beef. 2

These items were all produced in Tianxiong city and they were not cheap in the High Alert Area outside the city. 1

It seemed that Wang Wei and his company lived a good life. It was a shame that humans were never satisfied. Even if they lived good lives, they wanted better lives. 1

After inspecting the three vehicles, Yang Tian suddenly remembered that these men were previously fighting over a Grade One Beast Core. That meant that the Beast Core must be on one of these men.

Yang Tian searched the six corpses but did not find anything. Perhaps the Grade One Beast Core was on the body of one of those who died previously.

Or maybe it was on the body of those who were swallowed by the Tank Lizard.

A Grade One Beast Core could get up to 500,000 Wu in the High Alert Area. It would be a shame to give up on it. 7

Yang Tian turned back to the area in which he battled the Tank Lizard and searched the five corpses there but found nothing.

It seemed that the Beast Core was likely on one of the men swallowed by the Tank Lizard. 1

The Beast Core would no longer exist if it were in the belly of the Tank Lizard.

Although, Yang Tian still found some loot from this trip on top of the items on the previous six men. He had collected 10 assault rifles in good condition, a dozen magazines, and twenty or more Electric Grenades. He also found 30,000 Wu.

...

“What a shame! It would be great if I found that Grade One Beast Core! 500,000 Wu!” 6

Yang Tian leaned on the hood of the car and shook his head as he lamented.

“Squeak squeak!”

At that moment, the little green dragon squeaked twice and crawled out.

After that, the little pipsqueak jumped into a car. A moment later, it reappeared with a white Beast Core in its claws.

“Hey little guy, how did you find that?” 1

Yang Tian accepted the Beast Core from the little green dragon as he chuckled.

“Squeak squeak squeak...”

The little green dragon squeaked as though it were boasting.

Even though he could not understand what was being said, Yang Tian knew that the little green dragon had a special ability to detect Beast Cores.

This time it had found a Beast Core in a car. Perhaps it had a superior sense of smell. However, what about the Beast Cores in the Monsters? Those could not possibly be smelt out? 2

...

At least with the little green dragon, the process of looking for Beast Cores would be much simpler when he hunted for Monsters. It would not be like the others where it was purely a game of luck.

After gathering all the weapons and supplies in the trunk of one of the cars, Yang Tian looked at the corpses for a moment before driving off.

He did not need to take care of these corpses. Within a night, they would be turned to bone.

The world outside the city was just that cruel!

He drove back to Huangqiu city. It was just past 3 pm, and Yang Tian had no intention to go out hunting. He found four empty plastic jugs and drove to the creek. He filled the jugs with water and returned to his temporary accommodation at the five-story building. 2
