Chapter 123: Not a Good Time for Drinking

Unfortunately, that didn't happen.

After spinning once in Reno's hand, the breaching axe collided directly with the mutant infected individual's skull with immense kinetic energy.

Bang!

Crack!

A series of sounds, resembling the breaking of heavy glass, resounded one after another. The sharp blade of the battle axe pierced through the mutant infected individual's siliconized skin, creating a shattered block of silicon material and deeply cutting into its body.

The mutant infected individual, composed of a large number of infected bodies, had a thick layer of silicon shell growing directly on the part containing the bottle of collapse liquid. This layer was more than twenty centimeters thick, even thicker than the armor plates of a Tiger tank!

Fortunately, this thing was ultimately made of silicon material, not as resilient as armor plates. With a single strike, a large chunk nearly half a meter square shattered.

"Roar!" Sensing that it was under attack, the mutant infected individual roared and leaped toward Reno.

Its hands and feet flailed wildly, striking toward him...

"What kind of nonsense is this...?" Reno muttered.

Bang bang! Crack!

A series of punches and slaps directly struck the ground. With the increased strength of the infected individual, combined with its weight, it created a deep pit where Reno had stood before.

As a result, many of its arms and legs were at least half broken in this attack.

Is this the so called 'killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred'?

Of course, Reno was impossible to be hit by such slow attacks. The moment the infected individual raised its hand, he had already pulled back the breaching axe, stepping behind its blindspot.

Watching the mutant infected individual's attacks, Reno saw that with only half of its limbs left, its speed suddenly decreased significantly, more than twice slower than before.

This embarrassing infected individual, if it attacks a couple more times, wouldn't it turn into a ball?

In addition to the limbs broken in the recent attack, many other parts of the infected individual's body were also damaged, apparently from tearing the hull of the freighter earlier.

Seeing this, Reno didn't bother using the axe anymore. He walked up and kicked the infected individual from behind.

Bang!

The twisted mutant infected individual was provoked by the kick, but with Reno's agile movements, it missed him entirely, not even touching his clothes.

Reno chuckled as he watched the creature break another piece of its arm. Now, with only a few thin legs supporting it, the mutant infected individual turned into a bizarre fat ball like object.

Seeing this, Reno shook his head. He hadn't even exerted much force, yet this thing was almost playing itself to death.

Swinging the breaching axe, he chopped off its remaining legs. The mutant infected individual, which had been aggressive just half a minute ago, now lay on the ground, roaring weakly at Reno.

Ignoring its feeble roars, Reno sighed. He bent down, and reached for the collapse liquid bottle embedded in its chest.

There were two inconspicuous cracks on the bottle, one seemed to have been there for a long time, while the other was a scratch from outside the bottle.

It was probably caused by some reckless action.

However, just as Reno's fingers touched the bottle, sharp teeth suddenly protruded from the mutant infected individual's chest!

Clang!

The sharp teeth, emerging from both sides of its torso, closed like a giant mouth!

In a panic, Reno forcefully pulled the collapse liquid bottle from its chest! Without this bottle of collapse liquid, the mutant ELID infected seemed to lose its power source. Its body, previously aggregated together, suddenly cracked and disintegrated into several pieces on the ground.

However, Reno frowned as he looked at the collapse liquid bottle in his hand. His face turned black.

He had exerted too much force when grabbing the bottle!

The cracks on the bottle completely shattered under his grip! Reno's palm was directly caught in the collapse... liquid...

A huge burst of energy erupted from Reno's palm!

The temperature skyrocketed!

His palm was instantly charred! At the same time, siliconized fragments began to emerge from Reno's palm!

Reno's eyes suddenly glowed red, the latent psionic energy that had rarely been used before was all released at this moment!

Just grasping this seemingly liquid but actually semi-fluid mass, which resembled some kind of sticky paste filled with immense energy, made Reno incredibly excited!

So, should he absorb this mysterious substance containing immense energy, or let it explode directly in his hand...?

However, reality left Reno no room to hesitate. Whether to let this thing explode directly, evaporating everything within hundreds of meters, or to take a gamble and try to absorb it, converting it into psionic energy to strengthen himself, the answer was already very clear!

Eat it!

Swallow it!

Without hesitation, Reno raised his hand and stuffed the green substance, emitting high heat, into his mouth!

However, the green substance was not obedient. Even after entering his throat, it continued to emit tremendous heat!

And it seemed to be expanding! It's stuck in his throat, unable to be swallowed!

Using the hand that had just been burned, Reno reached into his own throat with two fingers and pushed the restless substance down!

Damn it! Abathur! If I don't die this time, when I get back to my own world, I'll make a life-size model of you and hang you high up!

As the collapse liquid went down, cracks instantly appeared all over Reno's body! A fluorescent green light burst from the cracks, and his clothes ignited in the high temperature!

And Reno's eyes, which were flickering with crimson light due to the use of psionic energy, under the influence of the green light gradually turned... golden.

"What's going on!?"

Angelia, standing not far away, could only let out a cry of surprise before being hit by a sudden surge of energy and thrown away!

In this moment, the powered armor weighing hundreds of kilograms floated like a plastic model, and the truck Reno had been fixated on slid directly into the sea!

Everything centered around Reno, as if encountering a tornado, was instantly thrown into chaos!

And the cargo ship nearby directly capsized into the sea!
