Chapter 40 Four Ambitious Young People
The battle outside the window was coming to an end, and those young psychics were now exhausted.
Only after they had used up all their strength to kill the gigantic mutant dog did they collapse to the ground in an ungraceful manner.
"This guy is really hard to deal with. If it weren't for the doomsday prophecy booklet that contains the method of cultivating supernatural powers, we would have to hide in the house for who knows how long."
"I remember it said that the meat of these mutant beasts can be eaten, right? And eating it can help us improve our abilities faster, and ordinary people can also strengthen their bodies if they eat it."
"That's what they say, but it also says that eating the meat of these mutant beasts can easily be contaminated and turn into a terrible monster."
The four-member team of two men and two women outside was silent for a moment, and then a tall and thin young man in the lead stood up first.
"I'm not afraid. I'd rather turn into a monster than watch my family get eaten alive by mutant beasts because I'm too weak. At worst, I can just find a deserted place and let them die. Didn't the prophecy also say that it would take at least an hour to turn into a monster? That's definitely enough."
The other three looked at each other and nodded affirmatively.
"Never mind then, let's just improve our strength as quickly as possible."
After that, several people wanted to work together to move the five-meter-long mutant giant dog.
The guy's body smelled of burning. There was a fist-sized hole right in the middle of his heart, a penetrating wound. It was as if a sharp weapon had pierced his heart and then shot out from his back by inertia. He also had multiple fractures on his body and his legs were bent.
It can be seen that the strength of this four-member team is quite impressive. The key is their tacit cooperation, which brings their comprehensive strength to a higher level.
However, although the mutant dog in front of him looked huge, it was actually just a low-level first-order mutant beast, and only about a hundred energy grids in its body were filled.
Its strength is probably much weaker than the previous Qua Qua Beast.
“Whoosh!”
However, when several people were about to lift the mutant dog, an arrow suddenly shot towards them at a high speed.
"careful!"
The iron arrow hit a girl among the four people, but that girl was a speed-type mutant, and she immediately rushed over after hearing something unusual.
Then the arrow shot straight behind them.
"roar!"
At the same time, almost in an instant, a roar filled with anger and pain sounded from where the arrow stopped.
It was then that they discovered that there was an even larger mutant beast hidden in the house behind them.
The mutant beast was ten meters long, five meters high, with two large horns on its head. It appeared silently not far behind them, staring at them hungrily.
However, now, the arrow that suddenly appeared shot through his eyes and skull.
The mutant bull, which was ready to take advantage of the situation, struggled for a moment and then fell to the ground with a bang. However, it did not die immediately, only one side of its body was paralyzed.
The other side of the creature was still struggling to get up. Seeing its eyes instantly turned bloodshot with anger, the people present didn't know whether it wanted to continue attacking them or get up and run away.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Then, before they could react, two more arrows broke through the air at extremely high speed, passing in front of their eyes and shot straight at the heart and trunk of the mutant bull.
At this point, the mutant bull shook all over and died completely in the shadow, without even leaving the door of the house.
This family was quite unlucky as their entire family had been eaten by the group of quack beasts earlier. The floor of the house was now covered with blood, as well as scattered hair, bloody scratches, and some missing body parts, such as fingers, ears, etc.
There was nothing outside, the room was completely quiet, not even a human figure was present.
It was probably digested by those mutant beasts that looked like frogs.
These are the results of the four-member team's investigation after entering the house. They also managed to pry open the door.
But not long after he entered, he was attacked by the mutant dog.
The few of them were feeling somewhat fortunate at this moment. Fortunately, when they were fighting the mutant dog just now, this mutant cow did not come out to join in the fun, otherwise they would probably have died here today.
"The arrow came from that side."
Among the few people at this moment, the one with speed-type ability was the first to react.
She felt slightly excited.
It was obvious that the man's archery skills were very high. He could hit the target even from such a long distance. It was obvious that his strength and accuracy were very good!
If they could win over that person to form a team with them, then their team's combat power would definitely be improved. In this way, the safety of the entire village would be more guaranteed.
"Let's go and pull out the arrow, and then we'll go over and take a look." At this time, the tall and thin young man made up his mind.
"Wait, let's dig out the brains of these two mutant beasts first, otherwise they might be easily taken advantage of by other mutant beasts attracted by their blood." The girl with speed-type abilities said her thoughts hesitantly.
She did download the very long doomsday prophecy before the end of the world and read it over and over again.
She remembered that it mentioned that there was a brain pill in the mutant beast's brain, which was where their energy was concentrated. At least 70% of the energy in the body was in the brain pill.
This thing will be more useful in helping them improve their superpowers than eating mutant beast meat!
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot!"
A moment later, several people successfully found the so-called brain pill according to the clues in the doomsday prophecy.
They are two round things with pits and blood-colored filaments on the surface. They look similar to two soybeans, one is yellow and the other is red.
"Let's go and take a look over there."
Jiang Rong was standing by his window at this moment, slowly putting down the bow he had just used to shoot arrows, and his palms felt slightly numb. Fortunately, he had been training hard recently, so he recovered in a short while.
At this time, one side of the window in front of her was opened, just enough to see several people approaching this side quickly.
After taking a look, Jiang Rong closed the window again and turned to go downstairs.
She had to retrieve her three arrows, and logically, the mutant bull's brain also belonged to her.
Arrows are currently a non-renewable commodity for her and are extremely precious.
The bow in her hand and the arrows she had just shot were all privately ordered, and were different from the ones she had stockpiled in large quantities before.
At least the range alone is two or three times longer.
Because of the short time, she only made five sets in total, and there were only a hundred arrows in total. She would feel sad if one was missing.
The mutant beast brain pill would help improve their superpowers, and the mutant bull's strength seemed strong, and it was estimated that it was about to break through the lower level of the first stage. Naturally, there was no reason for Jiang Rong to reject it.
Besides, she was helping those people in the first place.
Jiang Rong was only wearing a dark red work jacket at the moment, with a simple ponytail on his head and a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on his face. When he didn't say anything or smile, he looked a little cold.
As she walked, she pulled a long, thick coat on herself, then walked out the side door of the house and stood quietly at the door waiting.
At this moment, the little snake curled up with its eyes closed at the door seemed to have sensed something. Its little head suddenly stood up, and then a pair of purple flame-like wings suddenly appeared from its body and flew towards Jiang Rong's position.
After that, its body wanted to drill into the pocket of Jiang Rong's inner work jacket. It was warm and comfortable there, and it contained the energy space it had been longing for.
Because Jiang Rong's jade talisman was filled with jade energy transformed from spiritual jade, the little short snake directly identified it as an energy space filled with extremely pure energy.
Jiang Rong did not stop it. The little snake then closed its eyes happily in its pocket, hugging the small hollow square jade talisman tightly with its body.
Then, after a while, the four young psychics followed the direction from which the arrow came and found Jiang Rong's house.
By the time they found this place, their originally expectant expressions...could no longer be maintained.
Why is it her?!
Jiang Rong was still holding his special bow in his hand hanging by his side at this time, so those people knew instantly without asking that it was Jiang Rong who had shot the arrow to help them.
The tall and thin young man in the lead felt a little uncomfortable, and then faced the meaningful and somewhat instigating looks from his companions, coughed lightly and said: "Thank you for what I did just now, here is your arrow, and this brain pill."
Wu Hui walked forward and thanked him sincerely, then handed over the two things in his mouth.
Jiang Rong just hummed in response, then took back the things that belonged to him with an expressionless face.
Seeing her like this, several people were not surprised and even felt it was natural.
Qingshan Village is not big, and Xinan County is not big either.
Although they were not familiar with Jiang Rong, because the place was small... they went to the same elementary school, junior high school, and even high school... They didn't separate until they went to college.
Therefore, in their impression, Jiang Rong has always been like this since he was a child. He is quiet, has good grades, is cold to everyone, and is the one who is most likely to be beaten among the school hooligans.
At this time, everyone thought that Jiang Rong would turn around and leave after taking the things, and did not expect her to say anything else to them.
At this time, they were still struggling in their minds whether to invite her to join, but unexpectedly, Jiang Rong took the initiative to talk to them about forming a team.
It should be considered a temporary team.
"Have you ever thought about going to the county town?" Jiang Rong asked in a calm voice.
The few people didn't need Jiang Rong to say much, they understood what she meant in just a moment.
The current situation in the village is extremely cold, with no internet or electricity, and there is also the threat of mutant beasts.
If they want to know some specific information about the outside world, they have to go to a bigger place.
In addition, according to the doomsday prophecy, the current natural disaster will definitely not end in a short period of time, so they must prepare more follow-up supplies in advance.
If they shrink back now and leave too late, then when all the supplies in the county are looted, they will be forced to go to farther places.
For now, they can rely on mutant beast meat if they try hard, but this is only for themselves. How could they dare to give this kind of thing to other ordinary people in the family. If they really turn into monsters, it would be worse than death.
Besides food, they had to find other energy sources. In this kind of weather, they still had some fuel they had stored before the end of the world, which could barely support them for a while. But the amount they had stored at home was far from enough to cope with the extreme cold for a whole year.
The main reason was that it was freezing and snowy outside, and all the plants had disappeared after the red fog disappeared, so they couldn't even chop some wood for heating.
In short, it is still necessary to go to the county town.
"Yes, but now we have to get rid of those mutant beasts hiding in the village first, otherwise everyone will not feel safe to go out." Wu Hui continued.
Then he paused, and cautiously asked, with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "Jiang Rong, do you want to join us?"
Jiang Rong nodded readily: "Okay, then you go first, I'll go back and call the servants."
Jiang Rong had no opinion on what the other party said, but she was not at ease leaving until the internal problems were resolved.
In addition, although people are evil in the end times, it is better if the entire village sticks together than for the three families to fight alone.
Jiang Rong touched his nose when he thought about this. In fact, with the supplies they had, it was not impossible.
However, it is not good to appear too "outstanding", otherwise you will automatically turn yourself into a target for everyone.
Jiang Rong thought silently in his heart, then turned around and walked back home quickly and steadily.
The people behind him did not linger any longer and quickly ran towards other houses where mutant beasts might be found, ready for further investigation.
However, in addition to checking for mutant beasts hiding in the village, they actually have another purpose for running around so diligently outside.
They just want to systematically count the people with superpowers in the village. Their current idea is to try to tie all the people with superpowers in the village together as a team, so that everyone can work together.
As long as all the people with special abilities are united in heart, their village, their families, and their friends will have a greater chance of surviving this harsh extreme cold.
Even though they themselves think this idea is a bit too idealistic, they still have to try it!!!
