Chapter 9, Pharmacy
Killing the aberrant giant can be said to have come at a terrible cost, with large sections of bones within the body covered in cracks and the internal organs severely damaged. However, the rewards are also substantial, as with these 1,000 points, the current biological energy has reached 3,000.
"It’s all your fault. If it weren’t for you, the fat guy wouldn’t have died. Let’s be the bait. You have ill intentions!" The curly-haired one suddenly erupted in anger, rushing towards Lin Xi, who was standing silently and watching everything, and grabbed him by the collar.
The giant's finger was severed, and Lin Xi fell down. The impact of hitting the ground caused him to spit out a large mouthful of blood, but he did not stop his movements. He bit down on the hilt of the dark sword with his bloodied mouth and reached for the chains hanging down from the giant's shoulders, climbing upward.
Even in a severely injured state, with bloody meat hooks, hunting a 4-meter giant is still not difficult for him now
High-temperature blood splashed onto the face, bringing a searing pain
However, strength arises from the ground; without standing on solid ground, one cannot wrestle with giants. Moreover, the terrifying power of the anomalous species that can leap over 100 meters in a single bound is not something he can contend with.
The fat man's mouth opened and closed with difficulty: "It is just a pity... that... I could not... become a glutton... before I die... still... going hungry..."
The giant's enormous palm, indeed, is different from that of the ordinary kind. If a regular person were to be struck by it, they would surely be flattened into a meat patty
This is already full ... ... 9 cubic meters, but it still feels too little
A Yong ran over, raised his hand, and slapped Curly: "Do not say impulsive words out of anger. When a fat man encounters an anomalous species, no one could have anticipated it beforehand. Where there is reward, there is risk; in this world, nothing is gained without effort"
However, despite the giant guarding the door, the items in the supermarket are still quite abundant. Lin Xi first rushed towards the candy section
Lin Xi's stomach seemed like a bottomless pit, consuming bag after bag of food without any visible bulge.
He casually grabbed more than ten bags of milk powder and filled the remaining space in the compartment where the bloody meat hook was located
Inside the supermarket, there was a scene of chaos and disorder, with many items taken away—when the monster descended, there were customers and employees inside the supermarket, and it was certain that some took the opportunity to act.
Bang
Finally, he simply opened a large box of roasted suckling pig, devoured a golden-brown little pig until nothing was left but a pile of bones, and only then did he feel a sense of fulfillment
The giant extended two fingers, effortlessly pinching the immobile Lin Xi in his grasp and lifting him out through the hole.
When I was a child, while wandering in the supermarket, I was envious of the high-end chocolates, such as Dove and Golden Empire. I would tear off the packaging directly and gather them in piles. In the end, I used my phone to store the items, filling an entire compartment with a volume of one cubic meter.
Running to the side of the fat man, Ah Yong knelt down on the ground, disregarding his scraped knees, and handed the torn packaging to the fat man's mouth: "Here, your favorite pig's trotters, hurry up, open your mouth, it's braised pig's trotters! Soft and tender braised pig's trotters!"
Here it comes
The variety of items that can be stored is truly vast. There are still two compartments left; one contains a bloody meat hook. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xi placed several boxes of yogurt and several boxes of milk into the other compartment, mixing them together.
The boss, Ah Yong, stood up fiercely: "Fatty, don't die just yet! I'll go get you something to eat, hold on!"
The ancestral virus lineage, endowed with the ability to absorb the blood of specific organisms, alters DNA. However, there has been no attempt to use the blood of giants, not only due to the fear of genetic collapse and the concern that inferior genes may diminish evolutionary potential, but also out of fear of becoming a mindless, flesh-eating monster
A large amount of high-temperature steam enveloped the area, and the aberrant giant finally collapsed slowly, transforming into specks of light that dissipated.
He sprinted towards the supermarket, and within five minutes, he rushed back, holding a vacuum-sealed bag in his hand, tearing it apart as he ran
Fatty, Fatty! Eat it, eat it and then die! Fatty!" The glasses-wearing person rushed over, embracing Fatty's corpse, and cried out loudly.
Hoo ... ...
The hook embedded deep within the flesh was instantly pulled out, bringing with it a large mass of blood and meat, as the giant flung the entire chain away with his hand. Lin Xi leaped into the air, performing a gymnastic front flip, disengaging from the chain and landing on the giant's shoulder
In Lin Xi's heart, there is a sense of horror. What is the instinct of a giant? Slaughter, cannibalism! Is this vial of potion ultimately beneficial or harmful?
Curly was speaking out of anger, and deep down he understood. Under the scolding of the leader, he let go, knelt on the ground, and began to cry while covering his face
As Lin Xi pondered how to slay the giant, a massive palm swept down from above with tremendous force, comparable to the impact of a heavy truck, sending him flying through the air for over 10 meters before crashing into a wall
Lin Xi opened his mouth, revealing a twisted smile caused by pain, and coughed up a mouthful of blood and phlegm, spitting it onto the ground
It is nothing, I can completely understand your feelings
Go to hell
This piece of meat ultimately could not be eaten
In that moment, Lin Xi's eyes sparkled with two points of red light, and his right hand suddenly reached for his waist
Boom
Lin Xi saw the bloody meat hook, its hook body deeply embedded in the giant's shoulder, with a nine-meter-long pitch-black chain hanging down, its end touching the ground.
Glasses, don't, don't cry... brothers... I... am leaving first... perhaps this is... a good thing...
This moment almost creates an illusion for people
Lin Xi could not contain his excitement and packed all the candies into the phone compartment— a compartment of six cubic meters, completely filled to the brim with no gaps whatsoever
Grasping the blood-soaked hilt of the sword in his mouth, a rich and unyielding blood light flickered in Lin Xi's eyes
The overweight person had made a choice earlier, and naturally must be prepared to bear the consequences, without blaming anyone else
White Rabbit Creamy Candy, Alps Candy... These candies do not soften in hot weather like chocolate, which is also high in calories. Lin Xi noticed that there were not many on the shelves, and after some thought, headed straight for the supermarket's large storage room
However, his movements became frozen
Giants lack intelligence, but possess instinct
The glasses, not adept at controlling emotions, silently shed tears
Shaking his head to force himself to regain his spirits, he picked up the bloody meat hook and the oak shield that had fallen to the side. Just as he was about to charge towards the last giant, he suddenly noticed an object emerging from the spot where the bizarre creature's corpse had vanished
Head towards the food section, preparing to indulge in vacuum-packed cooked foods, such as roasted chicken and roasted duck, to satisfy one's hunger
Having slain the last giant, Lin Xi walked towards the location of the university students
Lin Xi's thoughts stirred, and a mobile phone appeared, immediately displaying the description of the human evolution program: "Giant Potion"
The ground was sunken like tofu, covered with a multitude of radiation-induced cracks. Lin Xi, leaping in mid-air, was tossed about by the violent air currents, dancing like leaves in the wind
How can I die in the mouth of such a disgusting monster
Lin Xi's gaze sharpened as he, perfectly fused with the ancestral virus, exhibited agility approximately eight times that of an ordinary person. Upon witnessing a massive shadow plummeting from above, he stomped his legs to create a rebound, leaping backward while simultaneously hurling a bloody meat hook.
I apologize," A Yong said apologetically
A sensation of all the bones in the body shattering into fragments under a heavy blow
Lin Xi, in excruciating pain and feeling weak and breathless, only wishes to lie on the ground and have a good sleep. However, at this moment, there is no time to rest, as there is still one giant remaining.
Amidst the hoarse roar, the Dark Sword struck down fiercely, slicing through large swathes of skin and thick muscle fibers, with blood gushing forth like a spring in a frenzy
What is this
Upon consumption, one will acquire the bloodline of giants and gain the ability to transform into a giant
In just two seconds, he darted to the top of the chain, at which point the abnormal giant extended its hand with a severed index finger, grasped the chain, and pulled downward.
Rapid Crawling
Draw the sword, raise it, and strike down
Amidst the howling winds, chaos reigned, obscuring all visibility; yet the tangible sensation of the hook from the chains on his hands made him realize that the bloody meat hook had ensnared its target
However, the vitality of this fat man is indeed quite tenacious; he has not yet died. His eyes are wide open, devoid of spirit, his mouth agape, breathing short and hurriedly. As his chest rises and falls, some murky blood foam continuously surges from his mouth and nose.
Lin Xi coughed up blood, and the oak shield behind him was nowhere to be found after that last blow. The leather armor he wore, made of brown hard leather, was covered in cracks. The only consolation was that the dark sword, serving as his weapon, still hung tightly at his waist
The three individuals placed the corpse of the overweight man on the large pool of gasoline that had leaked from the broken car and ignited it with a lighter. Lin Xi sighed, turned around, and headed towards the supermarket, unwilling to witness the scene of cremation, instead opting to search for supplies.
The eyes have already closed, and there is almost no breath coming from the mouth and nose. Upon hearing Ayong's voice, the fat man's eyes slowly opened.
A glass bottle containing liquid
Give me ... ...
Having slain several giants, the still remarkably sharp dark sword, with just one strike, severed the giant's finger
After searching for a while inside, Lin Xi indeed found boxes stacked neatly, filled with milk candies
Hooked!
The aberrant giant made a leap, covering a distance of at least 100 meters. As it descended from the air, it resembled a great mountain, bringing with it a suffocating gale that bore down upon Lin Xi.
Originally, I couldn't afford it, but now I can finally enjoy it
Upon seeing the pig's trotter, the hollow and lifeless eyes regained a hint of spirit, and with great difficulty, it opened its mouth and took a bite
The giant exhaled a foul stench mixed with the smell of blood, opened its thick, filthy mouth, extended its crimson tongue, and slowly bit down on the person pinched between its fingers
1000 points? What a great deal!
It has been sent, it has been sent
The fat man was lying on the ground, his torso below the abdomen had already vanished—he had bravely endured the predation of the aberrant giant, yet he could not escape another giant, which bit off his body
Living in the same dormitory, these four university students originally had a very good relationship, akin to brothers. Now, witnessing the tragic state of the overweight student, the other three kneel beside him, their hearts filled with sorrow
The open mouth could not be closed
In the distance, three university students, A Yong, Curly, and Glasses, were struggling to escape from the pursuit of a giant. The situation was extremely critical; had it not been for the giant, who was only 4 meters tall and belonged to the weakest category, the three of them would likely have already been eaten.
A large face appeared outside the hole in the wall
Pyrrhic victory
After an intense battle with the aberrant species, I sustained significant injuries. The ancestral virus lineage is repairing my body autonomously, but it requires a substantial amount of biological energy, resulting in an immediate sensation of hunger
Put it away for now, there is no time to study it
Looking at the dazzling array of products in the supermarket, Lin Xi felt it would be a pity to leave without purchasing anything. She found a large hiking backpack and headed to the nut section, filling it with bags of pistachios, pine nuts, walnuts, and so on, until it was stuffed to the brim.
