So, why do I have to continue this kind of inhumane devilish training?

Gou Dimples Liang thought angrily as he fled from the Yellow Bear's paw attacks.

Not only that, but with his Level 2 Ability Physique, the ruthless Shi Buyu had also upgraded his training from dodging to fighting. Gou Liang not only had to dodge the beast's indiscriminate attacks, but he also had to think of ways to injure the beast.

"Shi Xiaoyu."

At the same time Gou Liang called out, Shi Buyu had already appeared by his side. He single-handedly held him in his arms and stabbed his sword into the beast core.

"What's wrong?"

Shi Buyu stepped on the Yellow Bear's swaying corpse and used the momentum to fly away. Ask the Heavens Sword in his hand dispersed, and traces of icy purple electricity followed him as he landed on the ground with Gou Liang in his arms and disappeared from his fingertips.

With a bang, the beast behind him fell to the ground.

"I'm hungry."

Gou Liang patted his stomach, trying to create an empty stomach like before. Shi Buyu hurriedly stopped him and said, "It's okay if you're hungry."

Gou Liang, who was very easy to coax, smiled with satisfaction.

When Yu Sen brought them food, Shi Buyu wiped Gou Liang's face. Only then did he discover that a stone had left a bloody mark on his white face.

The blood had already coagulated, and the wound was already healing. However, Shi Buyu still frowned. He cupped his face and gently licked the wound.

"It tickles."

Gou Liang said, but he didn't dodge. The corner of his mouth was raised.

After Shi Buyu healed the wound, he still raised his head and hooked his finger, silently urging him.

Shi Buyu smiled and kissed him on the lips. When he retreated, he saw that Gou Liang was still staring at him with a face that said, "The treatment wasn't thorough enough." Shi Buyu, who believed that his self-control was limited, hurriedly hugged Gou Liang and said, "Eat first. Aren't you hungry?"

"Actually, I'm not that hungry."

Gou Liang habitually raised his hand to push up his glasses, but the large sunglasses had already been removed from his face. Thus, he touched his eyebrows with his fingertips and said with red ears, "I like it when you kiss me."

Shi Buyu hugged him even more tightly. His warm lips pressed against the space between his eyebrows to calm his racing heartbeat. He said in a low voice, "I won't run. The meat is getting cold."

"Oh …"

Gou Liang opened his mouth unwillingly and swallowed a mouthful of exotic beast meat. His eyes narrowed in bliss as he was conquered by the delicious taste.

He puffed up his cheeks and sat up straight in Shi Buyu's arms. He stared unblinkingly at Shi Buyu's hands as he cut the meat on the plate and chewed faster. After he finished eating, he opened his mouth and was fed. Like a gluttonous child who was satisfied, he smiled until his eyes were curved.

Shi Buyu was so moved that she couldn't help but kiss the corner of his oily lips.

Seeing that Gou Liang's attention was about to be distracted, Shi Buyu quickly stopped his little actions.

The meal was so sweet that the two didn't notice the gazes of their five companions beside them. They really wanted to set fire to this adulterous pair.

Everyone trained for level two ability users for five days before continuing their plan to head south.

They had accumulated a lot of exotic beast meat during this period of time. Almost every other day, there would be ten airplanes coming to collect the meat. For the last time, aside from the exotic beast meat, Shi Buyu also provided a hundred beast cores to Kyushu Base.

In addition, he had promised Lieutenant General Yao that he would provide beast cores to Kyushu on a regular basis.

After all, the strength of an individual was limited. If only the seven of them could improve their abilities, even if they became ultimate level nine ability users, they wouldn't be able to save all of humanity.

The hope of humanity was never supported by Gou Liang or himself. It was supported by every single survivor!

Therefore, Kyushu Base was also in a hurry to nurture high level ability users.

The physique detector developed by Gou Liang could predict the awakening direction of the abilities of ordinary people and those who consumed beast blood. There had never been a mistake so far. With this, Kyushu Base could focus on nurturing the ability users that the base urgently needed.

What they lacked the most was beast cores. Shi Buyu was willing to provide them with the greatest help within his ability.

It was also at this time that Gou Liang gave the baby of the snake-like exotic beast to Kyushu.

The baby of an exotic beast grew very quickly after leaving its mother's body. It changed almost every day.

In just a short month, it grew from the length of an arm to the length of a train carriage. It took up a lot of space, so it was no longer suitable for them to raise it.

Previously, Gou Liang had the intention of taming it. However, he immediately gave up on the idea when the baby grew scales a day ago.

It was a female beast. Not only was it black and ugly, but its scales also meant that it was biologically mature. It began to scream for pleasure.

Not only was it so noisy that they couldn't sleep, it also attracted dozens of male snake-like exotic beasts. What was worse was that Shi Buyu and the others, who were affected by the special sound waves, all raised the flag and saluted as if it was a conditioned reflex!

Other than Gou Liang, the others fought for the whole night. It wasn't until Gou Liang successfully installed a sound suppressor on the container that the guns finally gave in.

Since then, Gou Liang's eyes were filled with hostility as if he was a rival in love.

Shi Buyu, who had more tricks up his mouth than anyone else, but his actions were very well-behaved. Until now, he had never done anything indescribable to him below his neck. Unexpectedly, he was "sexually aroused" by a female beast!

In order to receive this exotic beast, Kyushu Research Institute even sent a person with the material collection team.

When the person saw Gou Liang, he asked politely, "Excuse me, is Miss Tang here?"

Gou Liang had developed a habit of nodding his eyebrows after losing his glasses. At this time, he was tapping his eyebrows with his fingertips with a slight smile on his lips. His peach blossom eyes were focused on the person, and he asked in an elegant and soft voice, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

The research specialist's face turned red from the overflowing hormones. For a moment, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

A bearded man was actually so shy that he couldn't speak.

"Boss!"

Jang Ren, who didn't speak but was very observant, suddenly pushed Shi Buyu, who was helping the material team transport the exotic beast meat. His voice sounded a little anxious.

Shi Buyu looked in the direction of his finger.

In a flash, he disappeared from where he stood. By the time Shi Buyu appeared beside Gou Liang and wrapped his arms around Gou Liang's waist in a possessive manner, the two large boxes of exotic beast meat in his hands fell to the ground with a loud thud!

"Why are you blushing in front of my wife?"

Shi Buyu looked at the research specialist with an unfriendly gaze.

The research specialist was stunned. He looked back and forth between Shi Buyu and Gou Liang and asked suspiciously, "Major General Shi?"

"I am. What do you want?"

Shi Buyu declared his sovereignty and hugged Gou Liang a little closer to his chest.

The research specialist's face suddenly turned red. It was even worse than before. He pointed a trembling finger at Shi Buyu and said, "Aren't you Miss Tang's partner? How, how can you be like this?! "

He looked at Shi Buyu as if he was looking at a scumbag.

Gou Liang stood in front of Shi Buyu, who was shocked by the sudden turn of events. He held the indignant research specialist's finger and said, "I am Tang Tang."

"Ah?"

The research specialist couldn't react in time. His teacher clearly said that Miss Tang not only had the brain of a national treasure, but also the body of a national treasure!

"I lost weight." Gou Liang shook his hand politely and let go. He continued, "So, Miss Tang and her partner are both me."

The research specialist: "…"

The research specialist left with the female beast, who was also doubting life and hugging herself tightly in the box like she was suffering from depression.

They continued south for another three days. According to the satellite map, they were about to cross the death line at thirty degrees north latitude.

The reason why it was called the death line was because the number of exotic beasts increased by hundreds of times after crossing thirty degrees north latitude. It was easy to imagine the degree of destruction here was much more serious than in the north.

Similarly, after Kyushu Base restarted the search and rescue work, they sent dozens of drones to the southern territory to conduct a carpet search, but all of them came up empty-handed.

However, to everyone's surprise, just two hours after they entered the death zone, the alarm in the car suddenly rang — it was the sound of vital signs!

Gou Liang, who was working on the database of exotic beasts in front of the computer, tapped his foot on the ground, and his wheelchair drifted over to the computer that was specially used to detect exotic beasts and vital signs. Shi Buyu and the others, who were taking advantage of the break to connect to Kyushu Base to give tactical guidance to the Espers, also hurried over.

Zhou Gao asked in surprise, "Miss Tang, where are the survivors? Are they far from here?!"

"They're not survivors."

Gou Liang said this, but there was a hint of excitement in his tone.

He quickly operated the satellite map that locked onto the coordinates of the warning point on the keyboard and said, "I took the time to perfect the thermal sensor over the past two days. It's not only able to detect human vital signs, but also the survival of species. For example, plants and animals in their original habitats … "

Before he finished speaking, the satellite map had already displayed what he wanted to say in front of them.

Patches of vibrant plants and greenery were reflected in front of their eyes, making the eyes of the people who were used to seeing decaying land since the apocalypse brighten.

"Cabbages, potatoes, radishes, peas, eggplants … this place should be a vegetable plantation before the apocalypse. I didn't expect it to be preserved so well."

Yu Sen exclaimed in surprise.

"There must be a reason for this abnormality."

Yu Lin furrowed his brows tightly. "There are snake-like exotic beasts that need metal to nurture their young, and there's also a high possibility of exotic beasts that use plants as their reproductive factor. This area hasn't been trampled by other exotic beasts, which only means that the exotic beasts in this area aren't easy to deal with. "

The truth was just as Yu Lin thought.

When Gou Liang switched the screen to the detection of exotic beasts at the same coordinates, the vegetable garden was surrounded by exotic beasts.

Gou Liang looked at Shi Buyu. "Emergency repairs are important, but your safety is more important."

Shi Buyu patted his head comfortingly and said, "Since we've encountered it, how can we not give it a try? It's already very difficult for these plants to survive the apocalypse. Who knows, maybe after we repair them now, these seeds will be placed in a museum a few hundred years later. "

The others also looked like they had to do it, so Gou Liang didn't try to stop them.

When Zhou Gao and Qin Bei drove over, he switched back to the plant interface and stared at the computer screen, muttering to himself.

Shi Buyu leaned closer to listen and heard him humming in a strange tone. "Cabbage meat dumplings, fish-flavored eggplant stew, spicy mashed potatoes, wait for me to eat you …"

Seeing his greedy look, Shi Buyu couldn't help but laugh.

The purpose of their trip was to collect the vegetable species, not to fight. Therefore, as soon as they arrived, they turned on the exotic beast sound wave repellent device and walked down in their protective suits.

Even though they had defensive equipment, they didn't let down their guard. Yu Sen, the wood ability user with the highest risk factor, walked in the middle of the group. Jang Ren, the metal ability user with the ability to restrain wood, walked in front of the group. Shi Buyu brought up the rear, and Gou Liang walked in front of him.

The seven of them entered the vegetable garden without a hitch. Gou Liang looked around and confirmed that there were no energy bodies, so they started to collect the plants.

After emptying the entire vegetable garden, they saw that the vegetable garden's office was still there. They walked around and collected a few bags of seeds and a warehouse full of fertilizer and plant medicine.

This trip was very rewarding. They only turned off the sound wave repellent device when the car left the vegetable garden's range of exotic beasts.

Gou Liang excitedly picked out the best-looking cabbage from the pile of vegetables. Just as he was about to cut the cabbage in half, the System suddenly shouted.

[Master! Don't cut it!!]

Gou Liang was shocked. He used ten percent of his strength, but now he used ten percent of his strength. The blade hit the metal chopping board and made a loud noise. When he stopped, the cabbage had already been cut in half.

"Xiao Kener?"

Shi Buyu rushed over. When he was anxious, he couldn't help but call out this name.

Gou Liang swallowed his saliva and pointed at the cabbage that had been cut in half. "Shi Xiaoyu … it seems like we're in big trouble."

Shi Buyu looked at the cabbage and was surprised to find a thumb-sized transparent egg in the center of the cabbage. Because it had been cut, the mucus in the ovary had leaked out. The greyish-black tadpole-like worms were twisting violently in the center of the cabbage.

This was — an exotic beast egg?!

"Old Zhou, turn on the sound wave repellent device. Everyone, put on your protective suits!"

Gou Liang looked at the tens of thousands of vegetables stuffed in the two carriages. These vegetables had become the exotic beast's surrogate. The hatchlings inside were still in the newborn stage and didn't have any energy. That was why they were ignored by Gou Liang.

Shi Buyu realized the seriousness of the situation. As he shouted, he used the Power of Thunder to destroy the hatchlings that had stopped twisting and died.

But this time, even the sound wave repellent device was useless. Look at the vegetables in the carriages — the hatchlings of an entire race were in their hands. How could the exotic beast just let them go?

Qin Bei, who was in charge of security, shouted and put out the warning device. "Boss, it's a flying insect-type exotic beast. It looks like a locust. It's coming to kill us!"

"They're f * cking locusts, aren't they?!" Zhou Gao yelled, "Boss, our carriages are about to be eaten by them. Let me go out and burn them to death!"

In order to carry more supplies, their original armored car had been replaced by a modified seven-carriage roller train. It was made of high-grade defensive materials sponsored by Kyushu Base. But at this time, the exotic beast had gone berserk and didn't care about the fear the sound wave brought to them. It didn't take long for a layer of iron to be bitten off.

Shi Buyu said, "Yu Sen, stay here and protect Xiao Kener for me. If necessary, separate the supply carriages and leave at full speed. We'll catch up with you soon. "

Yu Sen said, "Yes!"

Gou Liang said, "Be careful."

"I know."

Shi Buyu kissed his forehead and said, "I'll ask Yu Sen to pick a few exotic beast eggs for you to keep. If we give up on the supplies, you're not allowed to snatch them. Do you hear me?"

"Okay." Gou Liang said, "I'll listen to you."

Shi Buyu smiled and rubbed his head. Then, he put on the protective hat and rushed out with everyone wrapped in lightning, closing the doors tightly.

The battle outside was very intense.

The exotic beasts weren't big. Their entire bodies were only as long as an arm. Their beast cores were located in their fist-sized heads, and were very eye-catching. However, their mouths had two sharp sawtooth beaks, which were unusually sharp. In addition, their flying speed was very fast. Tens of thousands of them crowded together, densely surrounding Shi Buyu and the others. They didn't hesitate to kill their enemies who had stolen their children.

Although Shi Buyu was the main defense, he couldn't use Thunderbolt Kill because he couldn't bear to part with the tens of thousands of beast cores. Even he himself had been bitten several times by the exotic beasts, let alone the others.

"Fuck, f * * k your mouth!"

Zhou Gao cursed as he stuffed the beast cores he had dug out from the exotic beasts' bodies into his mouth. He didn't need any energy to activate his fire ability, and Qin Bei used his wind ability to assist.

Jang Ren held a pair of metal blades in his hands. He cut down the exotic beasts charging at him while controlling the blades to pierce the exotic beasts' wings.

On the other side, Yu Lin saw that Jang Ren was too busy, so he decided to fight back to back with him. While using ice to freeze the exotic beasts, he fed himself and Jang Ren beast cores to replenish their energy.

They cooperated well, but two fists were no match for four hands. In a situation where Shi Buyu couldn't kill them all, they were in a very difficult situation.

Gou Liang stared at the battle situation with a frown. When he saw other exotic beasts outside the area attracted by the beast cores, his expression changed.

"Yu Sen, throw the vegetables out and see if you can lure them away." Gou Liang said, "If you can, isn't there a self-destruct device in the last carriage? Separate it, and we'll catch a turtle in a jar! "

"That's doable."

Shi Buyu's voice came through Bluetooth.

Yu Sen immediately went to do it, but found that if he didn't destroy the eggs, he wouldn't attract the attention of the exotic beasts.

He simply pushed the vegetables into the last carriage and turned on the electric shock device. Under the tens of thousands of volts, the vegetables quickly turned into vegetable juice. The exotic beast eggs inside weren't spared either.

The exotic beasts let out sharp cries when they smelled the scent of the eggs being destroyed. They immediately gave up on fighting Shi Buyu and the others and rushed towards the eggs. However, the high-voltage electricity made them instinctively stay away.

Seeing that more and more exotic beasts were gathering, Yu Sen took the opportunity to turn off the power switch!

At that moment, the strong smell of the eggs made the exotic beasts, who were already angry and impatient, rush in. Before they could come out with the eggs, Yu Sen had already sealed the carriage and turned on the self-destruct device.

The razor-sharp beaks of the exotic beasts were very scary. They rammed around in the enclosed space, gnawing at the uneven scrap metal of the carriage. They kept flipping around on the spot until the self-destruct device's countdown ended, and the carriage exploded.

Shi Buyu made a prompt decision and struck the exotic beasts outside with lightning. He said, "Qin Bei, quickly collect the beast cores on the ground!"

After that, he led the others and rushed towards the exploded carriage.

The ground was covered with charred bodies of the exotic beasts, but even this kind of damage wasn't enough to kill them.

However, the heavily injured beasts couldn't escape even if they had wings.

The charred beasts made crisp cracking sounds when they were stepped on, and the pungent smell of burnt meat was emitted.

Gou Liang was still eager to eat the barbecued beasts, but he could only give up when he found that their meat was highly toxic.

It took them nearly two hours to collect the ten thousand beast cores. By the time they had collected everything, they didn't have time to rest. They had to leave this dangerous place immediately.

When they arrived at a relatively safe underground parking lot of an abandoned building, they finally let out a sigh of relief.

But now wasn't the time to rest.

They split into two groups. Shi Buyu led Zhou Gao and Jang Ren to repair and modify the train, while the others started to count the supplies and calculate the losses.

Jang Ren's metal element power was very advantageous at this time. Shi Buyu's team finished the work at hand first. Just as he was about to give Gou Liang's team a hand, he unexpectedly heard Gou Liang's doubtful voice as he approached the carriage containing the beast cores.

"So, the reason Shi Xiaoyu didn't sleep with me really isn't because my butt has shrunk compared to before?"

Shi Buyu: "…"
