Chapter 41: Recycling the Gold Eating Mother Beetle IX: New Company

Xue Li Hong dragged the corpse of the mosquito beast into the grove.

Right in front of Wang Chen and Qian Yun Kai, Xiao Mo reached out and boldly touched the corpse.

 “Ding, a recyclable target has been found. Would you like to recycle this target?”

“I would like to, but if I don’t speak out loud and only talk in my mind, would you still be able to hear me?” Xiao Mo asked the system in a low voice.

“You just have to think hard and concentrate on what you wish to tell me. Humans’ thoughts are too complicated; I can only receive very strong signals.”

“I understand.” Xiao Mo tried to put all his mind on one thought, “Exchange this for energy crystals.”

The system successfully accepted, “Yes, after recycling, the energy contained in the Giant Wing Mosquito Beast can be converted into a second-level standard energy crystal. Including the loss, Recycler Xiao Mo can get two pieces of the first-level standard energy crystal. Do you agree with this exchange?”

“The exchange rate fell from a level two to level one in one fell swoop. Your majesty, please tell me, how many first-level energy crystals are equivalent to one second level energy crystal?”

Wang Cheng didn’t speak when he saw Xiao Mo put his hand on the body of the mosquito beast and the corpse immediately disappeared into thin air. He merely shook his body and closed his mouth.

Xiao Mo actually considered a while, whether he should recycle the mosquito beast in front of Wang Cheng and Qian Yun Kai.

First of all, both sides had secrets to each other. Also, he was not afraid that they would betray him.

Secondly, he needed to “treat” Qian Yun Kai immediately. Otherwise, the four of them would not be able to progress far. He also did not want Qian Yun Kai and Wang Cheng to think that they did not need to pay a price for his treatment. This was the kind of cunning little citizen thinking that went through his head.

Third, he intended to tell Qian Yun Kai and Wang Cheng about the energy crystal. If they could use and absorb them, then it would be for the best. They would require a lot of energy crystals in the future. He could make use of the system to convert them and then pretend that he could convert the energy crystal and then… start the energy crystal conversion business.

Well, he would pay Xue Li Hong a salary in the future, and he was not sure if the kid needed any energy crystal, so it was always better to store more of them.

Xiao Mo put away an energy crystal, and stuck the other one on to his forehead and started to absorb the energy inside according to the way the system taught him.

Because of time and safety issues, he did not absorb all the energy in the energy crystal but instead stopped after absorbing about a quarter of it.

During this period, Xue Li Hong leaned on a tree and kept playing with a palm-sized instrument in his hand. The whole place was very dark, but he could still see clearly and his ears were listening to all the movements at the end of the grove.

As he gradually adapted to this body, his abilities also gradually restored.

Although only a quarter of the energy crystal had been absorbed, Xiao Mo obviously felt a lot more comfortable, and his whole body seemed to be rejuvenated.

“Let me check your legs,” Xiao Mo gestured to Wang Cheng to tell Qian Yun Kai to lie flat under a tree.

Qian Yun Kai covered his eyes and stretched out his legs.

Xiao Mo put his hand on Qian Yun Kai’s injured right knee.

In fact, Xiao Mo didn’t know how to use his abilities yet. He had not had the time to kick start the training schedule that the system helped him to download and could only rely on his intuition to use his abilities right now.

I wonder if the human body will also become a 3^rd person POV and appear in my mind…

Just when Xiao Mo thought so, a clear perspective view of Qian Yun Kai’s leg appeared in his mind little by little.

The skin, flesh, blood vessels, the wound, all from the bullet entry to the exit of it; it was all crystal clear.

Let me see the damage done to the bone, Xiao Mo thought so, and he immediately ‘saw’ all the skeletons of Qian Yun Kai’s right leg.

“Your kneecap is all broken and a piece of the bone has disappeared. It probably flew out of the wound with the bullet.” Xiao Mo raised his head and spoke.

“Is it hard to treat?”

“Let me try.”

“It doesn’t matter if you can’t fully recover, I am a doctor, I know it will be very difficult for a kneecap injury to heal. You can do your best.” Qian Yun Kai thought that Xiao Mo could not heal him, so he relieved his heart and tried his best to lower his expectations.

Xue Li Hong reminded them all, “Hurry up, Bao Yue Zhi is going to walk through the grove, they suspect that these two people have also ran in here.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Cheng immediately took his gun and walked to their sides to guard them.

“Do you have enough bullets?” Xue Li Hong asked Wang Cheng suddenly.

Wang Cheng paused and slowly replied him, “I don’t use bullets.”

“Well, I didn’t see any bullets in the mosquito beast’s body either.”

Wang Cheng felt cold sweat dripping down. He could sense that the youth was very dissatisfied with their inability to actively confess themselves.

“I don’t know what my ability is. When I ran away from them, my pistol that I had snatched from them was empty, but I didn’t notice it then. When I found out, I realized that I had the ability to produce endless bullets for my use.” Wang Cheng smiled and scratched his head; he was not sure what his abilities were exactly either.

Xue Li Hong’s face remained expressionless. He said, “Interesting. We can analyse this carefully later. Forensic Qian’s eyes are only stimulated and can kill only during battle, yes?”

Wang Cheng glanced at Qian Yun Kai, and when Qian Yun Kai saw his hint, he turned his head and nodded to Xue Li Hong.

Xue Li Hong seemed to be very interested in Qian Yun Kai’s eyes and wanted to peel his eye lid and take a closer look.

“Ok, can you try walking now?” Xiao Mo said after he finished treatment such that Xue Li Hong was not able to act.

“Is it alright for me/him to walk?” Qian Yun Kai and Wang Cheng both said in surprise at the same time.

Xiao Mo raised his hand and wiped the sweat that was constantly sliding down his forehead. He was unsure if it was due to him absorbing insufficient energy previously, but he felt very tired right now. Also, with the amount of sweat his body secreted, he could totally take a shower with it.

All of Wang Cheng and Qian Yun Kai’s attention were attracted to Qian Yun Kai’s leg. Only Xue Li Hong noticed Xiao Mo’s situation.

Xue Li Hong frowned and walked to Xiao Mo’s side. He was a little uneasy, any ability had the slow and steady process of adaptation, practice, then strengthening, but Xiao Mo’s ability seemed to be very strong right from the beginning, which was obviously very abnormal.

Would he overdraw his ability without knowing it?

In his disbelief, Qian Yun Kai carefully stretched his right leg straight.

“Really! It’s all good, ha ha!” Qian Yun Kai kicked hard with an expression of ecstasy on his face.

Wang Cheng gave up his guard and ran over excitedly, “Can you stand up? Can you try to stand up?”

Qian Yun Kai caught Wang Cheng’s hand and stood up from the ground vigorously.

He kept walking around in circles, never once stopping.

Qian Yun Kai couldn’t stop laughing, he kept thinking, even if he was able to escape the hunt, he would become disabled, he had never expected that his leg could still have a chance to heal.

“Thank you! Thank you so much! Up till now, I still don’t know what’s your name! My surname is Qian, I am Qian Yun Kai, and I used to be a forensic doctor, but now I am a fugitive. Oh great benefactor, please tell me your name! If I had been a woman, I would have repaid your greatness with my body.” Qian Yun Kai was obviously madly overjoyed, so much that he started talking nonsense.

Wang Cheng hurriedly pulled him, “Yun Kai, talk properly, don’t frighten them.”

Xiao Mo smiled, “My surname is Xiao, I’m Xiao Mo. Forensic Qian, hello.”

“When it is safe to go on a blind date, then you can continue talking. They are approaching.” Something must have hit Xue Li Hong hard that he was speaking in such a cold tone. He coldly dropped a word, turned and walked out of the forest.

The three of them also knew that this was not the time to talk and quickly bottled up their emotions and walked out of the forest behind Xue Li Hong.

It was obvious that one motorcycle was not enough for the four of them.

Xue Li Hong commanded Wang Cheng and asked him to grab another one in the village. Usually, in the suburbs outside the city such like this place, many people would have motorcycles at home.

Wang Cheng wanted to remind him that he was a policeman, but under such circumstances, if he didn’t get the motorcycle, he would need to trouble Xiao Mo and Xue Li Hong even further.

“My home is not far from here. When it is safe, we can find another opportunity to return the motorcycle.” Xiao Mo felt really embarrassed to say that his motorcycle was also “borrowed” from others.

Wang Cheng quickly got a motorcycle. Not having a key posed nary a problem for him.

With the means of transportation settled, the four quickly left the village.

On the road, Xue Li Hong who was sitting behind Xiao Mo suddenly hugged his waist and said two words against his ear: “Qian Yun Kai’s eyes aren’t blind, and he can see us with his eyes closed. They are on guard against us, don’t tell them everything like a fool       .”

Xiao Mo smiled. Is this a warning? Why does it sound more like a childish declaration of possession when a child’s friend makes friends with others?

Xue Li Hong did not understand what he was laughing at. He patted Xiao Mo’s back. It felt good to touch, so he directly leaned on his back, not put off by Xiao Mo’s sweaty clothes and smell at all.

Having gone a whole day without any replenishment of energy to replenish, needing to kill another monster, and run around for the whole day, he was utterly exhausted. Maybe he should also try to absorb the energy crystal, but what could he do if he ultimately still prefer consuming flesh and blood?

A day after the incident, the entrance of the supermarket had been roughly cleaned up, but there was still a smell of decayed flesh and blood lingering in the air.

Xiao Mo did not see his car at the intersection, so he parked the “borrowed” motorcycle on the side of the square and gave the key to the police patrolling nearby. He pointed to the motorcycle and said that he had borrowed it due to an emergency, and he was returning it now.

The policeman smiled, took the key and waved, letting Xiao Mo leave.

Qian Yun Kai and Wang Cheng followed Xue Li Hong to Shan Nan Jia Wan, avoiding people the entire way.

Shan Nan Jia Wan was abnormally quiet. Xiao Mo didn’t see Ding Qiao, but his car was in the garage downstairs. After going upstairs, he found a plastic band on the door’s handle of his house with his car keys hung on it.

Xiao Mo’s original plan was to take a shower and change his clothes before continuing to drive out to complete the task. But now that he took the fugitives back home, he had to get things arranged first.

After entering the house, the four formally introduced themselves to each other.

Xue Li Hong basically did not move his mouth at all, relying entirely on Xiao Mo’s endorsement.

Xiao Mo introduced his name, and then used it again as a mercenary.

Qian Yun Kai and Wang Cheng thought that Xue Li Hong was also a deep mutant and did not ask him more details.

“What do you plan to do in the future?” Xiao Mo asked.

Wang Cheng looked at Qian Yun Kai. Qian Yun Kai tried to push at his glasses, but soon realized that his glasses had broken or fell during the conflict.

“We will leave this city to hide for a while. This is not far from where we fled just now, maybe Bao Yue Zhi will get people to search for us tomorrow.”

“I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave the city.” Xue Li Hong interjected.

The three of them looked at him together.

“Why do you say that? What news did you know?” Wang Cheng asked.

Xue Li Hong replied, “I heard a call between a Commander Yang and a military commander Qiu mentioned that all entrance and exit in this city will be blocked at nine O’clock tonight.”

Xiao Mo raised his hand and looked at the time, it was already nine o’clock.

“Why is it blocked?” Qian Yun Kai also asked.

“It is said that there have been major changes in other surrounding cities, and the situation in this city is still fairly good. Some cities even have cannibals similar to zombies.”

“The Gluttony Virus?” Xiao Mo raised his head and looked at Xue Li Hong.

Xue Li Hong nodded, “It’s possible.”

Xiao Mo immediately questioned the system in his mind, “There are Gluttonous Virus carriers in other place too? Are there Gold Eating Mother Beetles in other place too?”

“Non-mission related- I cannot reveal.” The system was as tight as ever.

Xiao Mo gritted his teeth with anger but was helpless with it. Xue Li Hong saw Xiao Mo’s expression and knew that he hadn’t get an answer from the system.
