Chapter 84 Waiting for a Rabbit to Run into a Tree Stump
At midnight, Xiao Bao had just woken up when Zuo Shan took it to the central square. This time, she didn't bring Pandora.
She sent out Mao Li to scout ahead of time. He was originally in cat form and could also turn invisible, so he was the most suitable person to be a sentry.
Xiao Bao now has a strong ability to manipulate metal. In critical moments, it can easily find a hidden metal door, melt it, and crawl inside to hide.
She was pregnant, and if people found out, she could use the excuse that she couldn't sleep at night to wander alone to the square to cool off.
Only Pandora, a child, running out in the middle of the night instead of sleeping, easily aroused the suspicion of the administrator.
Zuo Shan strolled to the square, carrying a heavy little treasure in his backpack. Mao Li, who was on guard, transmitted his voice: "There's no one within two hundred meters. Further away are the management office building and public servants' dormitories. Don't worry."
Zuo Shan patted her backpack, and Xiao Bao immediately climbed out and plunged into the isolation enclosure without waiting for her instructions.
The stench was still overwhelming, and half of the mountain of corpses in front of us was gone.
Zuo Shan guessed that the metal-type ability user had dealt with about 10,000 today. Adding the more than 5,000 that Xiao Bao dealt with last night, there should only be about 15,000 left.
She knew that secretly inhaling more would arouse suspicion, but with her current financial resources, she simply couldn't provide Xiaobao with such a large amount of absorbable special metal. Even if she had to take the risk, it was worth it.
Xiao Bao knew that the opportunity was hard-won, so he endured the stench and began to absorb it.
Unbeknownst to them, two hundred meters away in the VIP lounge of the office building, Chi Zhengyang was observing the square through binoculars via a window.
There were no surveillance cameras in District 50, so he could only use this clumsy method to monitor the square.
He originally thought that the mysterious big shot was just passing by and probably wouldn't appear again, but he still held onto a sliver of hope that if the big shot passed by again and he discovered him, he could report it to his family.
If a high-level metal-attribute ability user does not belong to any faction, then the family will definitely make a great effort to recruit them.
The Landun family has always offered generous compensation to talented individuals, and those who can recruit exceptional talent for the family will receive a substantial resource reward.
I've been waiting for a full six hours since it got dark at 30 p.m., and now it's already midnight, but the mysterious big shot still hasn't appeared.
Chi Zhengyang was feeling a bit discouraged and was about to leave the window and go back to bed when suddenly, he saw a figure appear around the empty square through his binoculars.
When he adjusted the focus and angle to see the person clearly, he realized that the face was one he had seen before and that had left a deep impression on him.
She was the very special pregnant woman he met the day before yesterday when he was cremating the body. He didn't know her name, but because of her humility and her sincere gratitude, he remembered her face.
At that moment, a living creature crawled out of the pregnant woman's backpack. He pointed his binoculars at the creature and then saw clearly that it was a cub of a mutated iron-eating beast!
Even before the Great Cataclysm, the mutated iron-eating beast was an extremely rare animal, with no precedent for artificial breeding. He had only seen its holographic image in the "Encyclopedia of Animals Before the Cataclysm".
After the cataclysm, he heard people say that they had encountered mutated iron-eating beasts in the wild, which were so huge that they weighed more than ten tons and were extremely powerful in combat.
He had never expected that the cub of the mutated iron-eating beast would be so... tiny!
Judging from its appearance, it's not much bigger than a gold-eating ant. Can such a tiny larva really survive in the wild?
He didn't know how the pregnant woman had obtained the mutated iron-eating beast cub, but given her status as a scavenger in District 50, she shouldn't be able to raise a mutated beast cub.
Moreover, she doesn't seem to have any special abilities, so she can't form a contract with this cub. How can she ensure that the cub won't turn around and eat her when it's hungry?
Chi Zhengyang was both excited and nervous, but he was soon captivated by the cub's behavior.
Inside the newly installed isolation shield, he saw the young bird raise its forepaw, and a golden halo enveloped the corpses of the gold-devouring ants.
The next second, a scene that shocked him appeared!
The corpses floated in mid-air, and bits of flesh and blood fell down, creating a stream of liquid metal.
The stream churned and rolled, and as it churned, dark gray impurities were separated and fell onto the remains of flesh and blood.
Finally, the pure, shiny black liquid metal flowed into the cub's wide-open mouth, and the whole process was repeated continuously as it swallowed the liquid metal.
This scene was so amazing that Chi Zhengyang really wanted to record it, but he didn't dare to move his position casually, for fear of missing every detail.
Tonight, Xiao Bao felt that he was more adept at absorbing liquid metal. According to his inherited memories, only cubs with extremely high levels of ancestral bloodline reversion could awaken this supernatural ability to control metal forms.
Its mother was unable to awaken this supernatural power; if she had, she might not have died.
It was only a month old when its mother died. As time went by, its memory of its mother has faded. Now, the most important person to it is Sister Fan.
Xiao Bao was very happy because it had awakened the supernatural ability to control metal forms. It would become very powerful in the future. Even now, if it encountered that Boss Tong, it could smash his head with one palm!
The thought of becoming powerful in the future and being able to protect Sister Fan filled Xiao Bao with enthusiasm.
After a full day of sleep, what it absorbed yesterday has been completely digested. Tonight, it's determined to absorb even more, ideally absorbing all of this pile in front of it!
Xiao Bao continued to absorb the food, much faster than last night. When it had absorbed more than 5,000, it seemed to have reached its limit.
But if these gold-devouring ant corpses are left here, they'll be sucked clean by tomorrow. What should we do? If only it could hide them all and take them with it!
