"Level three mutated meat, 80 catties of food stamps per catty. You can keep five catties for your own use!" a slightly plump supervisor in a military uniform said with a smile. Luo Yuan was surprised.
He had not expected the price of blue level mutated beast meat to be so high, but he quickly understood. The rarer something was, the more valuable it was. Plus, the price of the meat itself was much higher than that of light blue level mutated beasts. If the military sold the meat, it would probably be worth several times more.
It was a profitable business.
Luo Yuan had no choice. Excluding the five catties of meat for his own use, he had a total of 18,500 catties of food stamps. It was the first time he had felt that earning money was so easy.
Next was the routine inspection. The soldier's face turned pale and he was sweating profusely under Luo Yuan's stare. He hastily inspected the meat and ran away. In fact, Luo Yuan was not very good at hiding it. He had simply stuffed it under the seat. After all, a car was only so big, and there were only a few places to hide things. Plus, the meat was not small, so it would have been easy to find it with a little bit of expertise. He had not expected the soldier to pretend not to see it.
Before coming to the base, Luo Yuan had already thought of a countermeasure, including bribing the soldier. His previous threat had been a sudden inspiration when the soldier had provoked him. He had not expected it to work so well, so he could not use many of his tricks.
"Sigh, if I had known this would happen, I would have kept more for myself!" Luo Yuan sighed. He had been worried that he would not be able to fool the inspection, so he had kept the internal organs of the dragon snake and the remaining black owl feathers. Now that he thought about it, he could not help but feel a little regretful.
But there would be more opportunities in the future.
Luo Yuan stuffed the five catties of Rampage Japalura meat into the sack, started the van, and left the base.
When the car arrived at the entrance of the residential area, Luo Yuan felt that something was not right. There seemed to be a faint stench coming from the residential area. He continued driving for a while and saw a group of people gathered in front of him. They seemed to be watching a show.
Luo Yuan was confused. He stopped the car nearby and got out of the car with the sack in his hand. He glanced around and saw that Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi were there too. He squeezed through the crowd and pulled her arm. "What happened here?"
Huang Jiahui heard the familiar voice and quickly turned her head. She looked a little excited. "Ah, you're back!"
"What are you guys doing here? What happened?" Luo Yuan continued to ask.
"There's a big earthworm here. It's drilling a lot of holes. Someone fell into it!" Wang Shishi said before Luo Yuan could ask anything else.
"Did they save him?"
"I don't know. I heard that he only screamed once before he died. The holes are very deep. Someone was brave enough to shine a flashlight into the holes, but it couldn't reach the bottom," Huang Jiahui said with an ugly expression. After the hopeless situation during the wave, she treasured the peace more than anyone else.
"The two of you, don't get too close. It might be dangerous. I'll go inside and take a look!" His heart tightened as he hurriedly said.
"Be careful." Huang Jiahui knew Luo Yuan's ability, so she did not stop him.
He nodded and ignored the complaints around him. Relying on his strong body, he squeezed his way in. But when he saw what he saw, his expression changed slightly. There were seven to eight half-meter-wide holes in the open space in front of him. The walls of the holes were very smooth, and the surface was covered with a layer of clear, greasy mucus. The stench that wafted through the neighborhood came from this hole.
"That person was walking in front of me, and it disappeared in a second. I thought I was seeing things, but when I blinked, I saw a hole in the ground." A young man was talking to the person next to him, his face flushed with excitement. "That's the one in front. The rest of the holes appeared later. When I was digging the last hole, it popped its head out. It scared me so much that I almost fell on my butt. I think it was a mutated earthworm, but I don't know what it eats to grow so big. "
He described it vividly, attracting a large group of people to listen to his description.
At this moment, two military jeeps suddenly drove in from outside. Eight armed policemen wearing protective suits quickly got off the jeeps. Luo Yuan noticed that two of them were holding military flamethrowers as they walked towards him.
The captain of the armed police squad took out a megaphone and shouted, "It's very dangerous here. Everyone, retreat 100 meters away!"
There was a commotion in the crowd before they quickly dispersed. Some of the more vigilant people started to run out of the district, but most of them stayed and watched the commotion from afar. Luo Yuan pulled Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi into the car. The car only stopped when it was about 200 meters away.
At this time, the armed police had already set up a barricade. The snipers and heavy machine gunners quickly ran to the nearby buildings and set up firing points. The armed police were obviously used to this kind of work. Everything was done in an orderly and orderly manner.
When everyone was in position, the remaining two armed police officers took out grenades and walked towards the hole carefully.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the surroundings became silent. Some people could not stand the pressure and started to retreat slowly.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! "
When the grenade was thrown into the hole, it made a dull sound. When the third hole collapsed, the ground suddenly trembled slightly. Then, a small hill rose from the ground. In the next moment, half of a huge creature's body emerged from the hole.
A purple snake-like body about seven to eight meters long was swaying in the air. The scene was terrifying even from afar. The crowd screamed. Many of them were so scared that they froze on the spot.
If one did not look at the creature's body, it would be obvious that it was an earthworm, but it had been magnified thousands of times. Sticky liquid kept dripping from its smooth purple skin. As soon as it touched the ground, the soil quickly melted into a puddle of mud. It looked extremely disgusting.
The surrounding armed police officers were psychologically stronger than the civilians. They only hesitated for a moment before the anti-material sniper rifles that were set up on the nearby buildings fired with a dull sound.
A large hole immediately appeared on the earthworm's body, and it was almost split into two.
Heavy machine guns and flamethrowers joined the battle. Bullets swept across the earthworm's body, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
But the most eye-catching thing was the high-pressure flamethrower. Two slender high-pressure flames hit its body like water columns, and in just a few seconds, its body began to burn. This earthworm was obviously weak, and before it could even struggle, it was beaten to the point where it wished it was dead.
Only two minutes later, the exposed part of the earthworm drooped down powerlessly and stopped moving.
The captain of the armed police squad made a gesture. Several armed police officers put down their weapons and ran toward the two jeeps. Two of them sat in the driver's seat, while the other two took out a bundle of rope from the trunk. One end was hooked to the bars of the two jeeps, and the other end was tied tightly to the earthworm's body.
Obviously, they wanted to pull it out of the hole.
The jeeps started very quickly. The huge pulling force of the two jeeps slowly dragged the earthworm out of the hole. However, it was only dragged for two meters before it disappeared, revealing a bloody wound.
This part of the earthworm's body was about ten meters long. But for the earthworm that was almost half a meter thick, this length was not even one-third of its body. An armed police officer ran over and looked into the hole. His face changed dramatically.
The armed police threw a few more grenades into the hole, but there was no reaction. After tossing and turning for another hour, the mutant earthworms could no longer be stimulated to emerge. The eight armed policemen hastily called it a day. When they left, they reminded the residents here to report any problems as soon as possible, and then they quickly left.
The few of them returned home.
Huang Jiahui sighed and murmured, "Even this place is a problem. I don't know where else is safe."
Luo Yuan put the sack down and picked up a cigarette from the coffee table. He lit it up and took a puff before exhaling a puff of white smoke. He sighed and said, "The neighborhood is not safe now. You two better stay at home and don't go out. Especially Wang Shishi, don't go out to play."
"Isn't that earthworm dead?" Wang Shishi asked in confusion.
Luo Yuan shook his head and said, "Earthworms have a strong vitality. Even if they are cut into pieces, they won't die. They can even split into several. That's the case for normal earthworms, let alone mutated ones. Although I don't know if they will eat humans, it's never a bad thing to be careful."
"Oh!" Wang Shishi answered obediently.
Huang Jiahui seemed to be thinking about something. She was a little dazed, but then she came back to her senses and said, "What about the groceries at home? Everyone needs to eat, right?"
"Don't worry about that, I'll take care of it!" Luo Yuan said.
"Then be careful," Huang Jiahui said after a moment of hesitation. She knew that Luo Yuan was not easy to talk to, but once he made up his mind, no one could change his mind.
Luo Yuan thought for a while and continued, "If the mutated earthworm is not solved in a few days, we can move somewhere else. Anyway, we have two cars now, so it'll be easy to move."
Huang Jiahui complained when she was reminded by Luo Yuan. "By the way, if you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten. Why did you buy another car? Don't you already have one at home? Although it's a little broken, it's good enough to drive. It's a waste to buy another one. Do you have enough money now?"
"I didn't buy this car," Luo Yuan explained.
"Did you steal it again? Will the owner find out and come looking for us? "Huang Jiahui's body trembled as she lowered her voice.
Luo Yuan did not want to make them worry, so he said, "Don't worry, it's someone else's abandoned car. It's a waste to leave it there, so I drove it here."
"Brother Luo, how did you know it was abandoned? What if the owner had left it there all along?" Wang Shishi interrupted.
"You're smart!" Luo Yuan scolded.
Huang Jiahui wanted to persuade him, but she decided against it. She had stolen a car before, although she had been forced to do so.
