I'm a little tired from writing the last few chapters. That's why I've been updating so late recently. I'm mentally exhausted. I really want to write all the way to the climax in one go. Boohoo ~ ~ ~
…
The number one powerhouse in China Base City, Yun So-kyung, was challenged. This was undoubtedly major news. Many generals and even the battalion commanders of the military camps knew about it. It caused a sensation in half of the base city.
Amidst the intense discussion and questioning, the person involved was sitting in his own house, leisurely drinking red wine that he had scavenged from the wilderness.
It was as if he had everything in the outside world under his control.
Not long after, the White Dragon and the others arrived at his house.
"We just came back from the wilderness and heard the news that you wanted to challenge Yun So-kyung. Is this true?" Yue Heng asked in surprise.
Ye Chen nodded. "It's true."
"Why?"
The White Dragon frowned and said, "This Yun So-kyung is said to be a super evolved person. His physique is probably at Level 40 or 50. Moreover, he has the support of the Ministry of Information. There are many people behind him and a large number of generals working for him. With your personality, you wouldn't challenge him just to show off."
Yue Heng couldn't help but glance at him. "How do you know so much?"
The White Dragon was stunned. He immediately rolled his eyes and said, "Everyone on Earth knows this."
"So you're from Earth." Yue Heng suddenly realized.
"You —"
Zhuge Fan said helplessly, "You guys can stop for a while. Listen to Brother Ye before arguing."
The White Dragon glared at Yue Heng and didn't say anything else.
Everyone looked at Ye Chen, waiting for him to explain the reason. However, after waiting for a while, Ye Chen didn't seem to have any intention of speaking. The White Dragon couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Ye Chen said unhappily, "What's there to say? I just don't like him, so I challenged him."
"That simple?" Yue Heng asked suspiciously. He felt like he had been cheated.
"Definitely not."
White Dragon rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "I know, it must be because of that beauty called Murong Xue, right?
She's so pretty, you must like her a lot, right?
Don't be embarrassed. I understand. Everyone understands, right? "
Ye Chen gave him a sideways glance and couldn't be bothered with him.
His reasons for issuing the letter of challenge were very simple. Firstly, he wanted Hua Buluo to fire him. Secondly, he wanted to get rid of the troublesome Yun So-kyung so that he wouldn't be assassinated again. It was easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to defend against a stab in the dark. Perhaps one day, his food would be poisoned.
However, there was a disadvantage to issuing a challenge, and that was that he would forever be stuck at the rank of general, with no chance of being promoted. The higher-ups would not be willing to let a person as "reckless" as him hold power, and would only let him be a frontline general.
This was why he did not reveal his true strength when he was at the soldier level.
However, he did not care for the position of Commander, and this disadvantage did not affect him at all.
…
After chatting for a while, the White Dragon and the others left. Ye Chen opened the space connection point and took out the three-eyed wolf's body. He used the blood-red saber to cut off its claws and head, leaving only a headless body.
Knock knock!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Ye Chen frowned and said coldly, "There's no one in the house."
The knocking was silent for a while, and then there was a bell-like laughter. A pleasant voice said, "Excuse me, is General Ye Chen in?
Can I trouble the friend who spoke to inform him? "
Ye Chen was startled, and then smiled bitterly. He walked over and opened the door. The sun shone in from outside. Beside the door, under the sunlight, stood a girl in green. Her hair was like clouds, and her face was beautiful. She was wearing light blue jeans, and her slender and straight legs were wrapped in the jeans. Her curves were still beautiful.
Ye Chen touched his nose and said, "Why are you here?"
This girl was naturally Murong Xue. She winked playfully and said, "Who said there was no one in the house?
Humph! "
"Did someone speak just now?
I didn't hear anything. "Ye Chen could only deny it.
"You're shameless!"
Murong Xue snorted, and then stopped smiling. She looked at Ye Chen seriously and said, "I heard that you challenged Yun So-kyung?"
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Yes."
Murong Xue did not expect Ye Chen to be so direct. She was startled, and then her face turned red. She lowered her head, and her delicate hands kept rubbing the corner of her clothes. The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward and ambiguous.
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he knew that Murong Xue had misunderstood. He wanted to explain, but didn't know how to say it. He said, "This, actually … sigh, let's talk about it after we come in."
Murong Xue nodded lightly and walked in. She immediately saw the headless corpse of the Three-eyed Wolf in the middle of the room. She was shocked and said, "What kind of monster is this?"
"I killed a Devil Wind Hound."
Ye Chen said vaguely. Anyway, after cutting off the head, the color of the fur of the two monsters was about the same. At this stage, the Devil Wind Hound already had a Level 15 Constitution.
"Where's its head?" Murong Xue asked curiously, as if she had forgotten the awkwardness just now.
Ye Chen touched his nose and said, "It was shot in the head. Its head was smashed and cut off."
Murong Xue didn't think much of it. She walked to the Three-eyed Wolf's corpse and poked it with her slender white fingers. She turned to Ye Chen and said, "Its fur looks quite soft. It would be good to make soft leather armor."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "I was planning to peel off its fur to make leather armor."
Murong Xue giggled and said, "Let me help you."
Ye Chen was startled and said, "You're not afraid?"
From what he knew, Murong Xue was a girl who had been protected by her father since the end of the world. She shouldn't have seen such cruelty and bloodshed.
"Although I haven't fought in the wild, I often go to the Research Department to play. I've seen a lot of these monsters. I wouldn't be afraid even if it was alive, let alone dead," Murong Xue said proudly.
Ye Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Okay."
He took a knife from the side and started to cut open the Three-eyed Wolf's short neck. The bloody flesh was sticky to the touch, and there was a thick layer of greasy fat near the skin.
The two of them each took a small knife and started to cut.
"This needs to be cut."
"Here, pull it. Use some strength."
"Okay, just this bit. It's almost done."
Time flew by as the two of them busied themselves. An hour later, their clothes were covered in blood. They finally succeeded in peeling off the Three-eyed Wolf's fur. It was extremely wide and could be used to make two or three soft leather armors.
In the spacious room, only the Three-eyed Wolf's bloody body was left. Because its fur had been peeled off, its blood vessels and muscles were exposed. It was a ghastly sight.
Ye Chen had already prepared a burlap bag and stored the Three-eyed Wolf's flesh. He planned to send it to a high-end restaurant tomorrow night to sell. After all, this was a Level 55 monster. At the current stage, no one could kill it.
"This monster's fur is really tough."
Murong Xue stroked a pile of brown fur. She raised her head and said to Ye Chen, "It's such a good fur. Let me sew it for you. It should be enough to make a leather armor and a battle skirt."
"I'll let the production department make it later," Ye Chen said casually.
Murong Xue shook her head and said, "If the people in the production department see such good material, they'll definitely steal some. It's too much of a loss."
Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
Murong Xue giggled. She seemed quite happy.
In the evening, Murong Xue took the fur and left. She only said that she would personally deliver it in three days.
…
After a night's rest, Ye Chen changed into a clean set of clothes and left the base city. He went alone to the Laolin deep in the mountains where he had hunted monsters last time. There were many corpses along the way. It was desolate everywhere.
Not long after, Ye Chen entered the forest. He soon encountered the corpse-eating bugs at the outermost perimeter. These bugs were about the size of babies and were extremely fat. Their bodies were made of flesh and looked like squirming meatballs. They only had Level 2 physique and their mouths were filled with sharp teeth. They could spit venom from their mouths to attack enemies.
This was an evolved creature. During the apocalypse, it was quite a good "mobile food." It was almost extinct in the later stages of the apocalypse.
Ye Chen did not pay attention to it. He moved his body and flew over the group of corpse-eating bugs. As he went deeper into the forest, he encountered more and more monsters. Sometimes, powerful monsters would appear.
Roar!
Roar!
Suddenly, Ye Chen heard a few angry roars in front of him. There was also the sound of fierce fighting. He could not help but be startled. He immediately suppressed his breath and stealthily moved forward.
