Chapter 16 The Reaper

The other world is filled with psychic energy and various radiation sources. The metabolism of living organisms is faster, the cells are more active, and the genes are more unstable. It is easy to mutate into new organ forms and extraordinary abilities.

After death, it is easier to putrefy and deteriorate. Various ancient and mysterious germs will multiply rapidly in the corpse, controlling the nerve cords and muscle bundles that have not yet decayed, turning the corpse into undead creatures such as zombies, and even extremely dangerous biochemical diseases.

bomb.

Monster corpses are precious resources for the development of Dragon City. Even under the fog, they are the only strategic resources and must be harvested against time.

Once organs mutate and materials become corrupted, the resources harvested cannot compensate for the resources consumed in destroying the monsters.

Even if you kill all the monsters, you still lose.

Many times, strong men forget themselves and fight, and when the fierce battle is over, the monster's corpse either turns into an undead creature and has to be killed again, or it rots into a state of disgrace, and all resources are wiped out.

In a worse case scenario, the body swells more than ten times and explodes with a "bang", exploding all kinds of mucus carrying deadly germs thousands of meters away, polluting the air and water, and even causing plague.

Over time, the auxiliary profession "Reaper" was born.

Specifically following the strong ones, racing against time, cleaning the battlefield, not even sparing a drop of monster blood or a piece of monster feces.

"For me, Reaper is the best auxiliary profession at this stage - it can collect rare materials, expand the network of contacts, and get to know all kinds of strong people. Moreover, it is easier to get training resources on a first-come-first-served basis.

"Since I worked for ten years in my previous life, awakening and upgrading are not too expensive, so why not do it by profession?"

Thinking of this, Meng Chao did not hesitate to invest his contribution points and awakened the "Basic Harvesting Technique".

As his temples tingled, all the facial muscles twitched, and a large number of details emerged from the depths of his mind.

How to harvest crustacean monsters...

How to harvest mammalian monsters...

How to harvest reptile monsters...

How to harvest flying monsters...

There are also a large number of intricate structural diagrams of monsters, methods of extracting the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, methods of identifying and collecting hundreds of mucus, acids, and venoms, various signs of monster transformation, and signs that the monster corpse is about to turn into a biochemical bomb.



There are also a lot of memory fragments, all of which are scenes of him and his father harvesting together.

Countless images overlapped, imprinting the rich experience of a senior reaper on his cerebral cortex.

Pain and pleasure went hand in hand. He couldn't help but stretch out his hands, holding the butcher knife and scalpel that didn't exist. His fingers danced lightly, swaying and harvesting as much as he wanted.

Meng Chao found that he had made the right choice.

It took 998 to awaken the "Basic Harvest Technique", and then, with only 1355 contribution points, he broke through the "normal level" and rushed to the "expert level".

Next, the "Expert Level "Elementary Harvesting Technique"" and the "Perfect Level "Basic Marksmanship"" also produced some kind of... similar "connection" effect. In the mind, a large number of strange monster weaknesses and characteristics were revealed.

structure.

They are all brand-new monsters that have never been heard of in this era.

"Yes, for a reaper, the most important thing is to understand the monster's organs and structure, and for a good gunner, the most important thing is to understand the monster's structure and weaknesses. These two skills are highly related.

"In my previous life, it was because I worked as a reaper with my father for ten years and dissected tens of thousands of monsters that I was able to master perfect basic marksmanship and barely become a third-rate master.

"Ha, most of the monsters in the memory of the past life have not evolved yet. Doesn't it mean that when they appear, I will be the person who knows them best in the entire Dragon City?"

Meng Chao grinned.

The nosebleed spurted out again, loudly.

Meng Yishan returned home and hurriedly packed up his things before leaving: "Su Xin, we're done. Remember to go to the street to get our share of the black beetle meat later. They insist that I was the one who severely damaged the super beast and gave us the black beetle meat."

There are so many. If you don’t put these things away, you can make some for the two little ones to eat in the morning, and then let them take some to school. Ah Chao, Xiao Cao, you guys go to bed early. I’m going to the battlefield in the north of the city, where the harvest is waiting.

Woolen cloth."

Meng Chao covered his nose and stood up: "Dad, I'll go with you."

"Huh?" Meng Yishan was startled.

"With my appearance, I may not be successful in the college entrance examination. Instead of just looking for a job, I might as well be a reaper and give it a try." Meng Chao shrugged.

Meng Yishan saw his son's "weak" appearance and thought that there was a high probability that this child would not be able to enter college.

If you don't go to college, being a reaper is indeed the best job an average person can find.

The risk factor is of course very high.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee whether there will be new monsters coming to kill when the loot is being collected.

Some monsters have such strong vitality that they can still deliver fatal blows even after they seem to have been dead for a long time.

Monster corpse transformation, poisonous blood, acid and deadly spores may all kill the Reaper.

But the other side of high risk is high reward.

Not to mention anything else, just say that being in contact with monster corpses for many years, being nourished by beast blood and crystal radiation, the probability of awakening extraordinary power is higher than that of ordinary professions.

Since his son was injured last year, although he has been forcing a smile on his face, how could Meng Yishan not see the loneliness in his heart?

The father has been thinking hard about his son's future and has already spoken to the company leaders.

"Okay, I'll take you to see it!" Today's battle allowed the old father to see his son's growth, and Meng Yishan made up his mind.

"Brother, are you really ready to be a reaper?" At the door of the house, Bai Jiacao grabbed his brother's hand and refused to let go.

Seeing the little girl's face full of concern, Meng Chao felt warm in his heart.

After all, the love between brother and sister is deep. When I heard that my brother was going to do such a dangerous job, even the Night Witch was a little worried, right?

"Then if you encounter a delicious monster like a black beetle again, remember to take some home!" The little girl told her seriously.

"..."

Meng Chao took a deep breath and thought, "It's all my fault. I really shouldn't have had too high expectations for Maleficent."



The fog gradually dissipated and the communication channel became clear again.

The overall situation on the battlefield in the north of the city has been decided. Monster corpses are piling up like mountains, and the reapers are needed to show their talents.

Military trucks have long been parked at the entrances of various communities, with "Resource Recycling" signs spray-painted on both sides of the trucks.

The two father and son tied themselves in the car with seat belts, and drove all the way north of the city with the bumpy sound of the truck crushing the monster's body.

The further north you go, the thicker the fog becomes, and the more severe the mutual erosion between Dragon City and the otherworldly space becomes.

The hideous corpses of monsters can be seen everywhere, like grotesque statues, emitting a pungent smell.

There are also crazy mutated trees and vines, all clinging to human buildings. In just a few hours, they almost devour the buildings, turning the reinforced concrete city into a lush primitive jungle.

Meng Chao also saw a giant beast like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, with a hole in its chest blasted by an anti-tank cannon, and blue blood flowing all over the ground.

But he was not completely dead, and his bloody mouth studded with fangs was still opening and closing.

"Ah Chao." Meng Yishan suddenly said, "The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong. It seems that I didn't hit the super beast just now."

"Dad, you have really good eyesight. It's true that it wasn't you, it was me who shot him in the head." Meng Chao was very honest.

"You——" Meng Yishan laughed dumbly.

"Don't believe it?" Meng Chao said, "Haven't you ever heard that people can unleash their infinite potential in critical moments? For example, a helpless mother was able to lift hundreds of kilograms with her bare hands in order to rescue a child from the rubble.

Stone, in order to protect my family, I awakened extraordinary power, what's so strange about it?"

He began to lay the groundwork for his own strength.

"It makes sense." Meng Yishan slapped his thigh and suddenly realized, "You reminded me. Could it be that in order to protect you, I accidentally awakened my extraordinary ability and suddenly became stronger?"

"...Dad, I didn't expect that even at your age, you still have an extraordinary heart!" Meng Chao marveled.

"What are you talking about? Who in Dragon City doesn't have an extraordinary heart, and your dad is very old?" Meng Yishan was dissatisfied, "I just allow you young people to daydream, why can't middle-aged people be extraordinary!

"

"Don't be angry, Dad, that's not what I meant."

Meng Chao sneered, "If you really want to be extraordinary, I'll arrange it and take time another day to help our whole family become extraordinary. Oh, forget it about my sister. It's too troublesome for her to become extraordinary. Just you and my mother, wait.

You are extraordinary, take good care of her."

"You kid, you are getting more and more out of tune." Meng Yishan couldn't help but reach out and hit his son on the forehead. He paused and said, "Seriously, being a reaper is not easy. You have to be bold and careful.

Don’t be nervous later and learn a little bit."

"Dad, I'm not nervous."

"How can you not be nervous? The real battlefield is not the same concept as our community. There are thousands of monsters, mountains of corpses and seas of blood. How can you not be nervous?"

"Dad, I'm really not nervous."

"When you are nervous, you are nervous. What are the two fathers and sons afraid of? I remember when you and I became a reaper for the first time. I saw so many monster corpses and smelled the pungent stench. I was so nervous that I peed. Did you peed?

"

"I really don't... forget it, I'm nervous and I peed."

"That's right. Let me tell you a secret. When you become a reaper for the first time, put a diaper in your crotch. Really, the smell of many high-end monsters will stimulate the central nervous system of the human body and make you unable to control your bladder.

So newcomers wear diapers, and some have been wearing diapers for several years."

"Dad, where can I go to make a diaper in the middle of the night?"

"Good son, look, what is this? When you get to the place later, find a corner to change into. I will help you hold it, so you won't be embarrassed."

"...Dad, I am suddenly full of confidence in the college entrance examination. I am no longer a reaper. Please let me go home."

As the two of them were talking, the vibrations started to get violent.

The explosion-proof tires crushed the monster's corpse, making a "click, click, click" sound.

The stench seeped into the car like tentacles, and you couldn't stop it even if you held your breath. It was very dazzling.

Arrive north of the city.

The wheels ran over a huge crater, and half the people in the car jumped to their feet.

The smell of gunpowder and blood surged higher and higher, impacting people's hearts.

There were several screaming buildings in the distance, half collapsed and half burning.

With the help of the blazing fire, Meng Chao saw several paralyzed six-legged crawling crystal chariots.

The thick armor was easily torn apart by the monster's blade limbs, and many soldiers were scattered in pieces in the carriage.

Many soldiers were missing arms and legs, their faces were pale, and they were receiving treatment without saying a word.

The fate of monsters is ten times more tragic than that of humans.

Whether they were snakes, insects, rats, ants, jackals, tigers, or leopards, they were all burned into black, charred corpses and torn into pieces.

These monsters crushed by the torrent of steel are basically worthless for harvesting.

"The work of being a soldier is too rough."

The reapers shook their heads in disapproval.

No wonder these days, the army is only an auxiliary to fight monsters, the key depends on the extraordinary.

The army's strategy of indiscriminate bombing and crushing all the monsters into rubbish is very satisfying, but it wastes a lot of guns and ammunition and the precious lives of soldiers, and can't get any benefits at all.

In less than three to five years, Dragon City's resources will be exhausted, and it will starve to death and be trapped to death.

"Today our company is responsible for the resource recovery operations in the Wufu Road area east of the steel plant." Meng Yishan introduced to Meng Chao, "Supernormals used cold weapons to kill thousands of monsters. The corpses were well preserved. It depends on how many resources can be recovered.

It’s ours.”

The truck stopped at the entrance of Longcheng Iron and Steel Group.

There were many extraordinary beings flying across the night sky, like colorful shooting stars, and they continued further north, chasing down the scattered monsters.

There are reapers all around, under different banners, allocating working areas and racing against time.

"Brother Meng."
