Although they had killed the mother beast, it was a pyrrhic victory for Doom Walker, the Black Water Organization, and the Rubble Alliance.
The losses were huge.
In terms of personnel losses, the three organizations could still bear it.
In total, nearly 40 paranormals and 100 elite soldiers had died.
However, the loss of guns, ammunition, and heavy trucks made the major organizations bleed.
The continuous high-intensity shooting had severely depleted the guns, and countless bullets had been used up.
Moreover, 13 heavy trucks had been destroyed and could no longer be used.
After counting the losses, Hou Dingkun and the others felt their hearts bleeding for a while.
In the end, all the teams ordered to camp in the same place and collect the mutant beasts' corpses.
Everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
Among those people, Jiang Liushi's harvest was undoubtedly the biggest.
According to the rules, since he had killed the mother beast, the entire body should belong to him.
However, no one coveted it.
According to some information provided by the military, the mother beast's flesh and blood were very special. There were various complex substances in it.
Although its flesh and blood also contained energy, it was not only inedible, but it was also highly toxic to the human body.
Even if the military had obtained some of the mother beast's flesh and blood, it was only for research and display purposes.
Zhang Hai and Sun Kun helped to decompose the flesh for a while, and the others stayed away.
The decomposed flesh was dragged by the mechanical arm into the minibus' storage space.
It was located in the blind spot of other people's sight, so no one knew how the flesh disappeared into thin air.
"Brother Jiang, these." Soon, Zhang Hai came over with a handful of crystal clear blood-red crystals.
'2 + mutant nuclei found. '
'7 level-1 mutant nuclei found. '
'7 level-1 mutant nuclei? '
Jiang Liushi was stunned, and then Starseed's prompt sounded in his mind.
"Where did they come from?" Jiang Liushi asked.
"One was dug out from the heart, and the rest were in the stomach," Zhang Hai said.
He was sure about the mother beast's stomach, as its gastric acid had melted a hole in the ground.
Those level-1 mutant nuclei were all in the mother beast's stomach.
"It can really eat..."
Jiang Liushi was speechless. It seemed that the mother beast had eaten a lot of level-1 mutant beasts.
If it continued to grow stronger, it might even eat level-2 mutant beasts.
This kind of existence that could use blood lichens to control mutant beasts, eating one or two mutant beasts was simply too easy.
However, mutant nuclei had extremely high energy purity. After being eaten by the mother beast, there were still some that had not been completely digested, which showed how much it had eaten.
After all, those level-1 mutant nuclei had been digested, so the purity was lower than normal level-1 mutant nuclei. But Jiang Liushi was very satisfied with the unexpected harvest.
At this time, Starseed's prompts continued.
"1.2kg of active bio-metal discovered. Evolution project triggered — Level-1 Military Factory System. Hint — Activating the military factory system requires the MCV to be upgraded to Level 1. Current level: Basic MCV (Level 0), two Level 2 mutant blood nuclei, enhanced power system, rare metals … "
…
Lines of information flowed through his mind.
Jiang Liushi's eyes lit up when he saw the evolutionary project-a military factory system.
This was good stuff.
Jiang Liushi clearly remembered that his sister had to exchange five tons of mutant meat for a long knife made of special alloy steel.
If he could make it himself, it would undoubtedly save him a lot of trouble.
However, as soon as he saw the upgrade requirements, his boiling blood quickly cooled down.
'F * ck, the conditions are too harsh!'
It was easy to enhance the power system, which could be achieved with mutant nuclei and some resources.
The problem was that the MCV hadn't even reached level 1, let alone two mutant blood nuclei.
Mutant blood nuclei could only be found in mutant zombies' bodies.
Two level-2 mutant blood nuclei meant that he had to kill two level-2 mutant zombies.
The difficulty could be imagined.
Level-2 mutant zombies' combat wisdom was stronger than level-2 mutant beasts', so it was not easy to encounter and kill them.
In fact, just killing level-2 mutant beasts had cost Jiang Liushi a lot of effort.
He had originally hoped that the mother beast would be a level-3 mutant beast, but it turned out to be a level-2 + mutant beast.
But it was understandable. The mutant pufferfish that he had killed in the flood area of Wu Shui County was also level 2 +, which was already very strong.
If they really had to fight against level-3 mutant beasts, the situation today would have been much more difficult, and the casualties would have been much heavier.
'Special life energy discovered. Hint: It can be fused with the mutant queen's egg!'
At that moment, Jiang Liushi suddenly found a group of light red strange energy in the storage space.
The mutant queen's egg suddenly struggled fiercely again.
'Special life energy …'
Jiang Liushi guessed that this group of things was the essence of the mother beast.
The mother beast was originally a special life, with a very strange integration. Its vital signs were like a worm, a bird, or a beast.
Jiang Liushi's heart moved. This was the highlight of the day.
'Fuse.'
Jiang Liushi wanted to see what kind of monster would be born after the fusion.
A newly born monster would not be strong. Even if it had a certain threat, it would not be able to turn the sky upside down under Jiang Liushi's eyes.
The light red energy instantly drilled into the mutant queen's egg.
In the holographic field of view provided by Starseed, the mutant queen's egg in the storage space began to emit a dazzling red light.
'Plop —'
'Plop —'
The mutant queen's egg began to squirm and swell crazily, beating like a heart.
The hard outer shell softened, and a faint blood-red mist dissipated from it.
'Warning — the temperature of the storage space is rising. The temperature control system has reached the limit …'
Suddenly, Starseed's warning echoed in Jiang Liushi's mind.
Jiang Liushi frowned slightly. There were a lot of mutant meat and other materials in the storage space.
In the past, the mutant meat had been kept fresh because of the temperature control system and the sterile system.
But now, a thin layer of ice covering the mutant meat was melting.
If it continued, the mutant meat, medicine, ammunition, and other materials would be damaged.
Obviously, the blood-red mist emitted by the mutant queen's egg was some kind of strange substance that could emit strong heat.
'No, I have to get it out as soon as possible!'
Jiang Liushi knew that if he didn't get it out, he would be in big trouble.
The mutant meat was easy to deal with. He had a lot of evolutionary crystals, so he could rely on those things to survive for a while.
However, if the medicine, some rare metals and other materials were damaged, it would be really troublesome.
Moreover, there was ammunition inside. If the temperature continued to rise, he was afraid that the storage space would become a barrel of explosives.
"Get out of the way!"
Jiang Liushi warned everyone around him.
Li Yuxin and others did not understand, but they still listened to Jiang Liushi and retreated to the rear of the carriage.
After everyone dispersed to the safe area, on the alloy floor of the carriage, there was a huge heart-like blood-red egg.
The egg's outer skin was almost the color of egg white. Obviously, there was something wriggling in the egg, desperately absorbing the egg's nutrient liquid.
The thin red mist secreted by the egg made the surrounding temperature rise rapidly.
[Starseed, scan the mutant queen's egg-] Jiang Liushi said in his mind. At the same time, he had reached for his gun. Once the egg changed, it would be a great threat, and he would immediately kill it.
[The energy level is too high, unable to scan!]
Hearing Starseed's answer, Jiang Liushi was speechless.
The last time he scanned the mutant queen's egg, it was the same result.
At that moment, a small snow-white shadow flashed beside Jiang Liushi.
That figure had a pair of big drooping ears.
At that moment, the big ears stood up excitedly, jumping gracefully in the air, throwing a parabola, and falling on the mutant queen's egg.
Some thin, strange mist touched Luoluo's body.
Luoluo's hair suddenly burst into flames.
But the little thing didn't care, and it still opened its big mouth, revealing two rows of snow-white incisors shining with saliva.
"Luoluo?!"
Jiang Liushi's eyes widened. When did that little thing come out?
"F * ck! No, it wants to eat the mutant queen's egg! "
Jiang Liushi clearly remembered that the first time he saw Luoluo, it had drilled into the giant earthworm's nest. Obviously, it had stolen the eggs and ran out.
The mutant queen's egg was undoubtedly a top-notch delicacy for it.
Jiang Liushi wanted to stop it, but when he arrived in front of Luoluo …
Luoluo's row of unknown incisors easily tore the mutant queen's egg's eggshell.
Suddenly, a strange egg-white liquid surged out.
Luoluo raised its small butt, and its small tail was like a furry ball, swaying, and then it plunged in.
"F * ck!"
Jiang Liushi really couldn't bear it.
He didn't care about other things, but the mutant queen's egg had just absorbed special life energy, so he couldn't let Luoluo eat it.
Although Luoluo looked small, its head was like taking root in the mutant queen's egg.
Jiang Liushi grabbed its leg and pulled hard, but he couldn't pull it out at once. He could only pull out a handful of burnt hair.
Then he pulled again.
With a chewing sound, Luoluo's mouth expanded to the size of a basketball. She was still chewing non-stop, just like a hamster.
With a gulp, it swallowed everything in its mouth into its stomach.
Then a pair of big watery eyes stared at Jiang Liushi innocently.
Jiang Liushi was speechless. "F * ck, no way!
He quickly squatted down and checked the mutant queen's egg.
It was empty inside!
Jiang Liushi simply couldn't bear it anymore.
"Three days without a beating!
Spit it out! Did you hear me? If you don't spit it out, I will let Ling cook you! You should know that Ling is very good at cooking! " Jiang Liushi grabbed Luoluo's two big ears and shook them up and down vertically, trying to get the thing in its stomach out.
Luoluo was in Jiang Liushi's hands like a big ball of fur, moving up and down.
In the carriage, Ling was looking at the scene with a dagger in her hand.
At that time, Luoluo opened its mouth. "Burp!"
The burp was loud and clear.
That burp undoubtedly stimulated Jiang Liushi.
Life was full of ups and downs, just like a roller coaster!
Obviously, that thing had been swallowed by Luoluo, so it couldn't be taken out.
"… It must be braised!" Jiang Liushi secretly made up his mind while staring at Luoluo.
Other than eating, sleeping, and acting cute in her spare time, she had no other uses.
It had eaten the mutant queen's egg, which Jiang Liushi had high hopes for. That thing might be able to become a mother beast.
"Brother Jiang, don't mess with Luoluo. Its mental state has changed, and it has become very intense! "
In Ran Xiyu's spiritual vision, Jiang Liushi found that Luoluo, which was in his hand, had turned into a big fireball.
Usually, only level-2 mutant beasts could have such intense mental strength!
"Luoluo …"
While Jiang Liushi was surprised, Luoluo's eyelids drooped. Its burnt hair automatically fell off, and more hair quickly grew out.
Jiang Liushi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately put Luoluo down.
After putting it down, Luoluo's body continued to grow long hairs.
If observed carefully, those hairs had a faint, strange luster. After a while, countless hairs wrapped Luoluo into a washbasin-sized ball.
Inside the big hairy ball, a strong heartbeat could be heard.
"How did the little thing become like this?" In the carriage, Li Yuxin and others looked at Jiang Liushi in surprise.
"The mutant queen's egg was integrated with special life energy … Luoluo ate it all," Jiang Liushi said with a headache.
Li Yuxin stepped forward and put her hands on the hairy ball.
"Luoluo seems to be fine. It seems to be evolving." Li Yuxin revealed a strange look.
Evolving?
Jiang Liushi thought about it. If it was really evolving, Luoluo must have changed. Moreover, since it had swallowed the special life energy, it should be much safer than hatching the mutant queen's egg.
After all, Luoluo was not aggressive, and it got along well with everyone.
Maybe it was a good thing.
After all, if a mother beast hatched, Jiang Liushi didn't know what to do except to study it first and then send it to the military government.
For the time being, the MCV didn't have any projects to raise dangerous creatures.
After a few hours of rest, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed.
One by one, the corpses on the battlefield turned into smoke in the raging fire.
After the blood lichens dried up, the ground revealed a desolate background.
Looking around, the ground was frozen and cracked with bloody lumps of soil.
"Brother Jiang, the president asked me to deliver these things."
A heavy truck drove near the minibus.
The driver was Qi Liang, and Little Seven was sitting next to him.
Recently, the relationship between the two of them had become more and more harmonious. They even addressed each other as brothers.
"Ten level-1 mutant nuclei, one level-2 mutant nucleus, and 16 tons of mutant meat. You can order them, "Qi Liang said to Jiang Liushi.
"No need to order. But can I discuss with your president? I don't want the mutant meat, and I want to exchange two level-1 mutant nuclei for one level-2 mutant nucleus, "Jiang Liushi said to Qi Liang after thinking for a while.
After all, with the MCV's upgrade, he needed level-2 mutant nuclei more and more.
Level-1 mutant nuclei were basically useless, except for making some evolution crystals and upgrading the MCV in some small places.
In the long run, he was more eager for level-2 mutant nuclei.
"I'll talk to our president." Qi Liang nodded.
After a while, the heavy truck came back, and Qi Liang smiled and stuck his head out.
"Brother Jiang, our president only wants 16 tons of mutant meat, and you can have the level-2 mutant nucleus."
"Good." Jiang Liushi smiled.
That was the reason why he was willing to cooperate with Hou Dingkun.
Including the level 2 + mutant nuclei he had just obtained and the level 2 + mutant energy he had absorbed, he now had two more mutant nuclei. The most important condition for the upgrade of the MCV was completely met.
Now, only a few rare metals were needed.
However, these rare metals were relatively difficult to find.
Among the rare metals he had stored in Pan Zhu City, he didn't have these metals.
These metals could be used in planes, but planes were everywhere. After doomsday, it was not so easy to find a plane that could be dismantled by Jiang Liushi at will.
But even though it wasn't easy, at least he had some clues, so he wouldn't be running around like a headless fly.
Jiang Liushi secretly calculated in his heart. In this way, including the rewards from the last two level-3 missions, he had 30 level-1 mutant nuclei.
Finally, he had more than enough and could freely create Evolution Crystals.
He had also obtained 5 level-2 mutant nuclei, not including the level-2 mutant nuclei …
Thinking of this trip's harvest, Jiang Liushi finally felt happy.
"Zizi-"
Suddenly, the minibus' radio sounded.
"... Military temporary radio special notice. Commander Peng Dinglong and Deputy Commander Li Yinqiang have issued an emergency mobilization order. All teams in the beast nest area should gather in the core area of the beast nest. From now on, those who leave the beast nest area without authorization will be punished according to military law. The gathering location will be announced. "
Emergency mobilization order?
Jiang Liushi frowned when he heard the news.
Curses could be heard from the other heavy trucks. Obviously, the other teams had also received the news.
'Om!'
Suddenly, Jiang Liushi heard a strange sound coming from above.
Through the MCV's front window, he saw an armed helicopter flying from the southeast.
On the helicopter, there were a few soldiers in camouflage uniforms, armed with live ammunition, looking down vigilantly.
The armed helicopter was patrolling in a large circle.
As for its purpose, Jiang Liushi guessed a possibility.
It must be a deterrent from the military. After the order was issued, it was to prevent teams from escaping the beast nest area …
So, why did the core area issue such an order?
What exactly happened there?
Jiang Liushi's expression became a little solemn.
He clearly remembered that not long ago, the army attacking the beast nest's core area had temporarily changed its commander.
