Chapter 86: CH 86

Chapter 86: One Month Later

Sheng Lin was a very ordinary level-3 rad-warrior in Anhang City. His combat power wasn’t particularly strong, but it wasn’t bad. His parents had always hoped that he could stay in the city to work. Even if he earned less, he’d at least be safe. However, Sheng Lin was unwilling. He liked fighting, liked adventure, and preferred the feeling of fighting outside the city.

Those who dared to work hard would always gain more chances of success. At the age of 28, Sheng Lin had already bought two armored vehicles on his own and set up a small team at the same time.

He’d purchased these two armored vehicles from a rad-warrior who planned to retire using all the money he’d saved up from hunting over many years. Although some of them were old, they were good to use. Today, he’d worked with his three partners and finally hunted down a grasshopper.

“Boss, your control over your rad-energy is so strong, you were even able to use a wind blade to destroy the breathing hole on the grasshopper’s leg!” Wu Siwen, who used to be Sheng Lin’s classmate and later became Sheng Lin’s comrade in arms, excitedly tied up the body of the grasshopper beast. The grasshopper beast had been kiting them for a while. They hadn’t been willing to waste bullets on it, and hadn’t been able to kill it. Unexpectedly, Sheng Lin was able to use a wind blade to destroy its breathing hole.

“It was just a coincidence.” Although Sheng Lin said so, he was also a little proud. This grasshopper was their third prey today. With the two caterpillar beasts they’d captured before, they could earn a lot today.

“Boss, this is obviously because of your good shooting skills!” Wu Siwen said again, and then looked around in doubt: “Eh, where is this?”

“We’re driving towards Anhang City. Here…” Sheng Lin looked at their surrounding environment: “It seems like this is the swamp west of the city. In the past, you could catch a lot of mosquito beasts here. Now that the water’s all but gone, there’s practically nothing left around here. Few people stop by this place. We can have a good rest.”

Sheng Lin had just spoken this plan, when he heard someone crying for help.

“Boss, someone’s asking for help!”

“Let’s go and have a look!” Sheng Lin immediately said. All the hunters who went out of the city would abide by an agreement, that was, when others asked for help, they would help rescue them as long as they were able.

Human beings had once been driven to the brink of extinction by mutant beasts. If they hadn’t united in the end, they would never have survived. Under such circumstances, naturally, they should adhere to the principle of unity.

As soon as Sheng Lin made this decision, other people also took up their weapons. Their combat power wasn’t as strong, so they became more cautious. At the same time, they also discovered that the cry for help came from the mud pond not far away.

The mud pond was covered with water bamboo. During this time, many small palm-sized mutant beasts were flying around. The group of people cut through some of the water bamboo with knives, and soon saw an amazing scene.

In this swamp, a fat man in an enormous combat suit was running forward, and behind the fat man, two caterpillar beasts were chasing him.

The fat man had probably been rolling in the swamp for a long time. At the moment, he was covered with mud. Even his helmet was completely slathered with it. Sheng Lin even doubted whether he could see the road ahead.

The caterpillars behind the fat man also had a lot of mud on its body. Even though the mud made their many feet run slowly, despite that, they would soon catch up with the fat man.

“Don’t do it!” Just as Sheng Lin and the others raised their guns, intending to kill the caterpillar beasts to save the man and harvest the bounty of two prey, a voice suddenly sounded.

The man chased by the caterpillar beasts was not in danger for the time being, and Sheng Lin wasn’t in a hurry. He turned around and found that there was more than one person in the swamp. In front of him, there was a tall man in an ordinary combat suit. The face under the protective mask was familiar…

“Shi Qingyang?” Sheng Lin recognized the other and was surprised.

“Hello.” Shi Qingyang smiled and nodded, very friendly. At the same time, his feet kept tapping on the mud. Probably because he moved too fast, his combat clothes were clean, and there were no mud stains. It seemed that he had never fallen into the mud.

“Shi Qingyang, why aren’t you saving him?” Wu Siwen frowned. Now the fat man was still shouting for help, but Shi Qingyang was indifferent and even stopped in front of them…

“He’s fine. He’s just shouting out for help out of habit. Raising his voice like this will help him burn calories.” Shi Qingyang smiled.

“Habit? Raising his voice?” Sheng Lin watched the fat man in the distance continue to crawl forward, while the caterpillars behind him were getting closer and closer to him. He didn’t understand.

Shi Qingyang nodded while using his hands and feet to keep himself from getting stuck in the swamp. “He’s losing weight. And those two caterpillar beasts are the most common cabbage worms. It’s nothing even if they catch up with him.”

Sheng Lin was stunned and realized that was true. Although some caterpillars had strong attack power, this kind of cabbage green worm had no attack power, like aphids. Generally, as long as they were found, they could be hunted. These were one of the best beasts to catch.

Just, was it necessary to lose weight this way?

Just as he was confused, the fat man was finally chased by the caterpillar beasts. The two caterpillar beasts climbed onto the fat man, making the fat man’s scream go louder.

Sheng Lin shuddered and was about to say something when he saw that Shi Qingyang, who had been talking to him, run quickly. At the same time, he grabbed the fat man, pulled him out of the mud, and put him more than ten meters away from the caterpillars. At the same time, he took out a water bottle and poured something onto the fat man.

The two caterpillars started to chase the fat man again. The fat man screamed and ran: “Boss, ancestor, I beg you, why did you have to find such disgusting caterpillars to chase me? Ah ah! Help!”

“Do you know how much I spent to make them chase you? The medicine I put on you isn’t cheap. If you’re caught by them too quickly, I’ll let you get plenty of touching with them,” Shi Qingyang said. Seeing the fat man start to run for his life again, he returned to Sheng Lin: “You can see that he’s fine. We’re training.”

Sheng Lin didn’t say anything, but looked at Shi Qingyang’s feet with some surprise–on those one-piece boots, there wasn’t even a trace of soil.

He originally thought that Shi Qingyang didn’t sink into the mud because he ran too fast, but now it seemed that this wasn’t the case? Just now Shi Qingyang had pulled the fat man out of the mud. He used so much force, he had to have sunk into the mud…

“Did you find out? I’m also training. I gathered radiant energy under my feet…” Shi Qingyang smiled and suddenly fell down and collapsed into the mud: “I’ve been holding myself up with rad-energy just now, and now I’ve almost used it all up…”

“Isn’t it true that only high-level rad-warriors can lift their feet off the ground?” Wu Siwen was surprised. A 7th level rad-energy warrior could walk on top of water using rad-energy and could jump very high. A level-8 rad-energy warrior could directly fly in the air. But Shi Qingyang should be very far away from these two kinds of soldiers? Although it was rumored that Shi Qingyang might have reached level-4, that was only level-4.

“I haven’t lifted off the ground, and I’m still walking.” Shi Qingyang smiled. Although he condensed a round shield composed of radiant energy under his feet, it was easy to break. He did this just to exercise his control over radiant energy.

“You’re really good!” Sheng Lin opened his mouth heartily and took another look at the fat man who was shouting in the distance. At that moment, he suddenly discovered another three people running towards here.

There were three people covered with mud like that fat man, and behind them, dozens of ant beasts were chasing after them…

These three people didn’t cry for help like that fat man, nor did they crawl using their hands and feet together like that fat man. They held hands together, and the one in the middle ran in the front, pulling the people on both sides. They pulled out their feet from the mud again and again, and ran forward together. Their speed of running in the swamp, where it was difficult to even stand, could even catch up with the speed of an ordinary person running on flat ground.

They were exercising! When Sheng Lin saw this scene, he immediately understood a lot of things and admired these people more and more.

Nowadays, most people, after gainin radiation energy, would always practice mostly just radiation energy. However, these people in front of them were exercising their bodies and could even treat themselves to such cruel means… They would definitely become powerful rad-energy warriors!

Sheng Lin admired these people in front of him, but there was no doubt that they were as exhausted as the fat man.

They should have been running for a long time, and now their speed couldn’t help slowing down, while the ant beasts behind them were still tireless…

Although the man in the middle still had the strength to pull the people on the left and right of him, the person on the left stumbled and fell to the ground, and finally brought down the three people.

Just now, Shi Qingyang had watched helplessly for a while as the fat man was tossed about by the caterpillars before he went to save him. Sheng Lin thought that he would do the same this time. Unexpectedly, he ran over quickly, and then quickly blocked the ant beasts, completely preventing them from catching the three people.

Then, he ran to the left and right sides. The two people who were already exhausted were sent back to where Sheng Lin was, like putting two clay figurines aside. As for the one who had been running in the middle, he ran off again…

“That’s how you train?” Sheng Lin couldn’t help asking.

“Yes, that’s how we train.”

“No wonder you won the championship! No wonder you’re so strong! I thought you had more resources than us…” Wu Siwen was embarrassed. He was jealous of Shi Qingyang when he realized that he was here. But now he couldn’t be jealous when he saw that the other side was training so hard.

At this time, the other two team members around Sheng Lin took out some cleaner to help the two people who were paralysed on the ground and couldn’t move. Even their protective masks were covered with mud.

After wiping off the mud on the protective mask, they could see the two people lying on the ground. Sheng Lin discovered that they were women!

The two people who were chased in the mud and didn’t care about being covered with mud were actually women! For a moment, Sheng Lin even felt a little ashamed of himself.

At the same time, after watching the Anhang Academy combat video and paying attention to the matter of Ye Houan rescuing his daughter, he also recognized these two people.

Li Jiajia, who was quickly defeated by Shi Qingyang in battle, and Ye Jinyu, the daughter of Ye Houan.

Shi Qingyang’s eyes were on the two people who were still in the swamp. The fat man who was chased by the caterpillar beasts was still shouting for help, while the man who was chased by the ant beasts was still running fast.

Sheng Lin greeted Li Jiajia and Ye Jinyu, and watched quietly. While the fat man was howling and crying like a ghost while being chased by the caterpillar beasts again, he caught sight of the man being chased by ants suddenly pull a gun out of his bag to fight against the ant beasts behind him. His marksmanship skills weren’t good, but the gun in his hand made up for it. Several ant beasts chasing him died quickly.

At this time, he seemed to lose some strength and slowly walked towards them. He wasn’t as exhausted as the two girls from earlier. At least his protective mask wasn’t covered with mud. Therefore, when he came closer, Sheng Lin and the others saw his appearance and were shocked again.

Cheng Ran, this person was actually Cheng Ran, who was known as an inspirational emperor because he was an ordinary person who could also prepare medicine!

Cheng Ran had no rad-energy, but he had learned to prepare medicine. Not only that, he can even go out of the city and kill mutated beasts!

Sheng Lin was full of extreme admiration and self-shame. He had thought that this man who had persisted for so long under the pursuit of the ant beasts would be a powerful rad-warrior. Who would have ever thought that he would be an ordinary person? Cheng Ran would suffer radiation damage out in the field if he didn’t wear a combat suit, but he could still become so strong. Who knew how much effort he had put in.

There was no doubt that Cheng Ran was an inspirational emperor.

“Ranran, how do you feel?” Shi Qingyang looked at Cheng Ran.

“I’m fine.” Cheng Ran took a deep breath and slowly walked beside him. After adjusting his breathing, he sat down.

“Alright.” Shi Qingyang looked at Zheng Gaoyuan in the distance, then ran over and finally brought Zheng Gaoyuan back.

Cheng Ran could still walk after he had finished running. The two girls, Ye Jinyu and Li Jiajia, had just exhausted their strength. Now they were starting to relax their muscles, but Zheng Gaoyuan…

After Shi Qingyang picked him up from the mud, the fat man was completely immobile. Now, after Shi Qingyang put him on the ground, he was completely like he was dead.

Seeing this scene, Shi Qingyang was extremely helpless. Zheng Gaoyuan had been training in his hands for one month, and the results were gratifying. Probably because of the large base number, he’d lost a full 50 pounds this month, and his meat was strong. His whole body looked smaller. However, who knew when he’d developed this bad habit of being as completely motionless as a corpse after training!

Looking at this fat man who pretended to be dead, Shi Qingyang especially wanted to kick him… That’s right, Zheng Gaoyuan was still fat now. His starting point was too large. Even if he lost 50 pounds, he still had more than 300 pounds…

This fat man’s weight loss career definitely had a long and very, very heavy way to go!

At this time, Sheng Lin and the others naturally recognized Zheng Gaoyuan. They looked at the people in front of them with puzzlement. Although they knew they should leave to go hunting, they couldn’t help but stay to see what these people would do.

Should they also train well in the future?

Sheng Lin was thinking about his exercise plan, but Shi Qingyang suddenly smiled at them: “Do you want to train with us?”

“Us?” Sheng Lin looked at Shi Qingyang in surprise. There was only the four of them, and there was nothing special about them at all…

“Yeah, you guys,” Shi Qingyang affirmed.

Sheng Lin had to admit that he was very excited, but he was no longer a student and had to support his family. The four of them weren’t well off… “We’d love to, but we all need to hunt…”

“It’s all right. In the future, we’ll be doing actual combat training. We can give you the prey we hunt, but you should also help us train and teach the others to hunt. After all, your combat experience should be very good.” Shi Qingyang smiled.

“Why us?” Sheng Lin was surprised and happy, and some of the others couldn’t believe it.

“Because of fate,” Shi Qingyang opened his mouth. There was no doubt that what he said was false.

In the past month, at first, he took Cheng Ran and Zheng Gaoyuan to train here. Later, Li Jiajia and Ye Jinyu, who had gone out of the city for training, joined in. During this period, their behavior was discovered by many people. However, he directly took out his ownership certificate for this land and drove them away. It was only Sheng Lin that he let stay here for so long. This was for nothing else than because Sheng Lin had once picked him up from that ant nest. He’d helped Shi Qingyang many, many times. The four people in front of him were all his former comrades in arms from his past life.

In addition to these four people, there was another one, and now, it was almost time to find him.
