CHAPTER 339: CHAPTER 341: DAD, I ACTUALLY HAVE ANOTHER ABILITY!

Amidst the booming sound of fists hitting flesh, mixed with screams that abruptly ceased, the convoy slowly drove up to the Black-Scaled Python that had already breathed its last.

Getting off the vehicle, a strong scent of blood hit them in the face. Lu Chuan frowned as he looked at the tragic state of the Black-Scaled Python in front of him.

This... really is a bit of an eyesore.

At this moment, the Black-Scaled Python, which had been brutally punched to death by Da Pang and the other Corpse Puppets, could practically be described as having its face unrecognizable.

The once ferocious and sinister python head now looked like a giant black watermelon, beaten to a pulp, with its black skin and bloody insides all smashed inward.

Under the powerful punches from Da Pang and other Corpse Puppets, the python’s hard skull was smashed to pieces, with its eye sockets, frontal bones, and other facial bones shattered into countless fragments, mixed with a mass of bloody flesh and foul-smelling brain matter, making it extremely disgusting.

Suppressing his discomfort, Lu Chuan began to direct the Corpse Puppets to start processing the python’s carcass.

The body of a four-tier Fierce Beast is a treasure that cannot be missed.

Thereafter, Tyrant One, Lightning One, and other Corpse Puppets with sharp steel claws joined in, quickly tearing open the black Scale Armor on the python’s body, revealing the tender flesh beneath.

Next, the python’s body was cut into evenly sized sections, stacked together as future rations for the Corpse Puppets.

Next, two elastic rows of meat from the python’s backbone were rapidly sliced off, divided into palm-sized pieces, and placed in a plastic basin as ingredients for Little Qiqi and the others.

At this moment, Zhao Lin, pulling Ji Ruxue, got off the vehicle and walked over, eyes full of curiosity.

"Such a big snake, it looks like we can have snake stew tonight!"

Watching the giant python being swiftly cut apart, Zhao Lin’s eyes brightened, her voice filled with excitement.

She once had snake soup made from farm-raised snake meat before the apocalypse, and it was delicious beyond words.

Now, this snake is even four-tier, so making stew out of its meat should be even more delectable.

"Mrs. Zhao Lin, this is a python, not a snake."

Beside her, Ji Ruxue looked up, correcting her somewhat speechlessly.

How can you not tell a snake from a python? And to think you were a police officer, how did you even pass the civil service exam?

"It’s all the same! Both end up in the stomach anyway!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin pouted and, seemingly displeased by Ji Ruxue’s comment, quickly reached out and pinched Ji Ruxue’s cheek.

Ji Ruxue was startled, jumping back two steps and then glaring at Zhao Lin with displeasure.

"Mrs. Zhao Lin, you’re bullying me, wait for it, I’ll go to the car and feed all your stockpiled potato chips to the little turtle!"

Having said that, Ji Ruxue took off, her short legs carrying her swiftly toward the supply vehicles.

"Ah! Little Qiqi, you wouldn’t dare!"

Zhao Lin was momentarily stunned, then quickly realized and dashed out, as if her hair were on fire.

From a distance came the sounds of Zhao Lin and Little Qiqi’s playful bickering. Lu Chuan looked at the blood-smeared fourth-tier Crystal Core in his palm, feeling joyful.

With the addition of the two fourth-tier Fierce Beast Crystal Cores from the Beast King Sect’s Sect Leader, it should be enough to evolve one of his subordinate fourth-tier Corpse Puppets to the fifth tier.

By then, the number of fifth-tier Corpse Puppets under his command would reach four!

Soon after, the Black-Scaled Python’s corpse was fully processed, and the blocked passage was cleared, allowing the convoy to set off again, driving over the Li River Bridge and entering the Li River City area.

Like the Beicheng city area and other districts they had visited before, Li River City was similarly desolate, with blocked roads, abandoned vehicles, and streets and shops stained with blood, along with groups of wandering zombies.

Rumble~

As the convoy made its way along the main road, the large noise emanating from the path-clearing Mutated Giant Turtle quickly spread, drawing in zombies from all directions toward the convoy.

Soon, a small-scale Corpse Tide had formed in a small area of the Li River City district.

Roar roar roar~

The roars of zombies echoed in succession, spreading from the streets and alleys as zombie hordes, resembling black serpentine shapes, surged along the roads, drawing closer to the convoy.

In response, both Lu Chuan and even Zhao Lin remained unfazed; after experiencing so much, they saw this as nothing more than a small scene.

Under Lu Chuan’s command, nearly all the fourth-tier Corpse Puppets in the convoy were deployed to start cutting down the Corpse Tide.

The charging Corpse Puppets swept through the zombies like harvesting wheat, swiftly ending their lives. The Corpse Puppets acted as an overwhelming, unyielding dam, and the zombie tide that hit the dam would helplessly crash and fall, heads and limbs flying, never able to pass the dam.

This wave of the Corpse Tide was swiftly harvested by Lu Chuan, and once the zombies thinned out, he had the Corpse Puppets collect some second and third-tier Crystal Cores, after which the convoy set off again, delving deeper into the city.

As the convoy journeyed, zombies, drawn by the noise, continued to approach, but they were quickly dealt with by Lightning One and other Corpse Puppets, jumping swiftly along the roadside.

Soon, Lu Chuan selected a neighborhood with decent conditions and had the zombies in front of the gate thoroughly cleared, allowing the convoy to slowly drive into the community.

Directing the Corpse Puppets to clean out an entire building, Lu Chuan and the others selected a room to stay in.

"Oh my, Mrs. Zhao Lin, why did you bring so many snacks upstairs?"

Ji Ruxue looked helplessly at Zhao Lin, who was swaying from side to side in front of her with a big bag hanging behind her.

"It’s all your fault, little rascal. If it weren’t for you saying you’d feed all my snacks to your turtle mount, I wouldn’t have brought all my supplies up here."

Zhao Lin said lazily.

"So in the end, you’re just guarding against yourself."

Ji Ruxue was speechless, teasing that even the Old Turtle wouldn’t eat those snacks.

Nighttime.

After dinner, Lu Chuan noticed Little Qiqi was still not willing to go to bed, his mind curious, he wrote on a piece of paper: "Little Qiqi, it’s so late, why aren’t you going to sleep?"

An undecided Ji Ruxue suddenly steeled her face, looking seriously towards Lu Chuan, speaking solemnly: "Dad, I have something I want to tell you."

After careful consideration, Ji Ruxue decided to confess some secrets to her dad. After all, some things couldn’t be kept hidden, and deceiving herself further might harm their relationship.

Hearing this, Lu Chuan looked at the serious little Qiqi, nodding with a smile, but he already had some guesses in his mind.

"Dad, actually, I have another ability! At the time, I awakened two Talent Abilities in total!"
