'Level: Bloodthirsty (Level 2)'
'Type: Mutated creature (steel-tusked boar)'
Characteristics: Extremely powerful Level 2 mutants, each possessing the combat power of a Level 4 Awakener. They are exceptionally large, with adults weighing up to one ton. Their skin is covered in a solid stratum corneum, providing protection against standard gunpowder and energy weapons, but relatively weak against high-frequency weapons.
It attacks primarily through terrifying brutal charges and the four sharp fangs protruding from the corners of its mouth. Its fangs are highly toxic, enough to pose a serious threat to Level 5 Awakeners, and also possess a certain lethality against Level 6 Awakeners.
Chen Yan looked at the information description displayed on the contact lens, and his interest in the steel-toothed wild boar increased greatly.
Since the smart bracelet did not detect the presence of the steel-tusked wild boar, the information description presented on the contact lens was actively searched by Chen Yan himself.
What surprised him was that a mere level two mutant creature could pose a serious threat to a level five awakener, and even had a certain killing ability against a level six awakener, which even a licker could not do!
However, the information description of the Licker clearly mentioned that the Licker is the most powerful second-level zombie.
Does this mean that at the same level, mutants have a higher ceiling than zombies?
Chen Yan was still thinking about it, but Jiang Yun interrupted his thoughts with a voice.
"Hey, Captain Chen, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect my friend to have a wild boar with steel teeth today. I was so excited to see the prey that I couldn't help but ask him for everything. This thing is much more expensive than a normal meal. Why don't we split the meal in half today? We can just treat it as a gathering for a meal."
Jiang Yun said with an embarrassed look on his face.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yan immediately waved his hand and said, "Manager Jiang, you're scolding me. We agreed to treat you to a meal, so no matter what or how much, it must be my turn. It's just a level two mutant creature, how expensive can it be?"
Jiang Yun coughed dryly and said awkwardly, "Under normal circumstances, if we had a meal here, the meat would be mainly zombie dog leg meat, and then add some other staple foods. Probably, after a meal, the maximum cost would be two level 2 crystals.
But even though the Steel-Tooth Boar is also a Level 2 mutant, it's quite rare. Plus, its meat is much better than that of a zombie dog, so the price is at least double. Eating a whole Steel-Tooth Boar... I estimate it would cost four Level 2 crystals."
Chen Yan said with a smile, "Four second-level crystals are still affordable. I was urgently summoned by the company's top management to report some important intelligence. The company gave me ten second-level crystals as an incentive, which was enough to treat Director Jiang to a meal."
Jiang Yun raised his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously, "What important information is it? Can you tell me? Of course, if the company's top management asks Captain Chen to keep it confidential, just pretend I didn't ask."
"There's nothing to keep secret. It's about the zombie tide."
Chen Yan smiled and explained the situation related to the zombie tide to Jiang Yun in a simple and nonchalant manner.
Jiang Yun's face showed a look of sudden realization. After listening to Chen Yan's description, he nodded with emotion and said, "So that's how it is. Captain Chen was able to break through to the fifth level of awakening while escaping the zombie tide. It's truly amazing. But Captain Chen, don't worry. The outbreak site of the zombie tide is far away from our Kahn Company's actual control area.
Given the terrain of eastern Shandong, even if the zombie tide didn't spread eastward, it would be essentially impossible for it to gather momentum and advance westward into our company's controlled area. In short, since Captain Chen has already joined the company, he should focus on developing his career there! Life will definitely be better than before."
Chen Yan agreed, "I think so too. Speaking of which, I've just joined the company and know next to nothing about it. I'd like to ask Manager Jiang to clear up my confusion and let me understand the company's situation."
"What does Captain Chen want to know?"
"Well, I want to know everything about the company."
"Is that so... Then let me start from the beginning. Our Kahn Company is mainly composed of seven major departments: Special Operations Department, Security Department, Production Department, Resource Exploration Department, Research and Development Department, Intelligence Department, and Logistics Department.
The Special Operations Department is the department you join, responsible for recruiting Awakened from outside the company. Any Awakened who resides within the company's occupied area is within the scope of recruitment. This is the occupied area, not the actual control area.
Awakeners of level five and above are forcibly recruited, becoming squad leaders upon entering the Special Operations Division. Level two to four awakeners join on a voluntary basis. In theory, level one awakeners are unnecessary.
Level 2, 3, and 4 awakeners are treated as privates, privates, and privates respectively within the Special Operations Department. If they are promoted to level 7, they can become captains. Level 9 awakeners become deputy commanders.
Just as he finished speaking, the burly man who had just entered the kitchen came out carrying a huge stainless steel plate.
The plate was rectangular, at least about 1.5 meters long, and was filled with only two huge roasted pork legs.
"Come, come, you guys eat first. I'll continue cooking in the kitchen. By the time you finish eating these two pork legs, the rest should be almost done."
The burly man placed the large plate on the table in front of Chen Yan and the other two, said with a smile, then turned around and went back to the kitchen.
Just one plate filled up the entire table!
However, looking at the two huge pork legs that had been roasted to a crispy outside and tender inside, Chen Yan, who was not very interested in this meal at first, suddenly felt a little hungry.
"Come! Have a try! My friend's grilling skills are absolutely amazing. It's a pity that there aren't many things that can be used as seasonings within the controlled area, so there's no way to fully utilize my friend's skills.
But at least compared to restaurants in the city, the barbecue at my friend's place is satisfying. As for those restaurants in the city, they're expensive, but the food isn't good at all. They don't care about taste at all, they just care about filling themselves up!
Jiang Yun was inviting with his appetite excited, and he had already stretched out his hand to tear off a large piece of meat from the pig leg in front of him. He stuffed the meat into his mouth like a starving ghost and devoured it with abandon.
Seeing Jiang Yun looking like he had been hungry for three days, Chen Yan knew that unless he filled his stomach, he would have no interest in continuing to talk about Kahn Company.
So without saying anything more, Chen Yan took Qin Yourong with him and started to feast on the pork leg in front of them.
