Scientific Travel

Mei Shengke was already seriously injured, and along the way he encountered many intelligent animals, some of which were highly aggressive.

I've only managed to stay alive by sheer willpower.

If we really take her there, I'm afraid she'll lose her life before we even get there.

Seeing that Mei Shengke was about to say something, Deng Yin waved his hand and said, "If you still want my help, then do as I say. If you die on your way back to the military camp, I can guarantee that I will not save a single person in the camp."

Chi Lin was somewhat anxious, not because of Mei Shengke, but because of the turmoil outside.

If even the military camps with the strongest fighting force are like this, what about other places?

Wouldn't that be even more dangerous...?

He was really overthinking it. In the entire Hundred Beginning Kingdom, there was only one powerful mutated beast.

However, a group of weak mutated beasts gathered together is enough to cause headaches.

Mei Shengke knew that Deng Yin was doing this for her own good; her health was indeed not suitable for further travel.

Even if I go back, I won't be able to help much.

But she couldn't rest easy if she didn't go back.

After much deliberation, she decided to agree to Deng Yin's request.

At worst, I can sneak back to the barracks after she leaves.

Anyway, everyone here is just an ordinary person, so they can't stop her.

Even when she was injured...

.......

To be honest, Deng Yin didn't care whether the people in this world were dead or alive.

To be precise, we don't care whether most people live or die.

All she needed to do was guard her own little plot of land and ensure her family's survival.

But since Mei Shengke had come from so far away seeking help, she couldn't ignore him.

Moreover, there was also Wei Wujiang in the military camp.

Although Deng Yin wouldn't replace him as the new male lead even if he died, it would be better if he didn't die.

...What if after he dies, this world becomes a dual-female-lead world, and Deng Yin accidentally becomes the new female lead?

The romantic relationships in bestselling storybooks are diverse, including those with two male leads, those with two female leads, and even those with just one ordinary man and one ordinary woman.

It's clear that the people here are very accepting. What if the rules of this world are also very accepting?

Huh~

Don't dare to think. Don't dare to think.

Deng Yin is too daring; she's clearly the one with the highest acceptance rate.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have bought so many different types of storybooks.

Knowing the situation was urgent, Deng Yin didn't even have lunch before rushing to the military camp on his electric bike.

Since Chi Lin wasn't with us, there was only enough room for one more person in the back of the car, and Gou Dan had taken that spot.

The next task happens to be to make a musket.

A mutated beast that can breathe fire...

...There must be some useful materials in its mouth.

Before even touching the surface, Deng Yin had already figured out how to use the mutated beast's corpse.

Deng Yin rode at top speed the entire way, even eating her meals in her spatial dimension. She was terrified that if she slowed down even a little, she would become the new female lead.

Wei Wujiang is the male lead, he shouldn't be that short-lived...

If he really gets killed by the mutated beast, Deng Yin will be the first to look down on him!

He's the weakest male protagonist in history!

Like Deng Yin, Gou Dan was also very anxious.

The rewards for each mission are distributed according to its difficulty; the mission to rescue Wei Wu Jiang is of particular difficulty...

...It's really not good enough.

Generally speaking, tasks related to the male and female protagonists usually offer the highest rewards.

But this time, instead of the most, it seems to be trending towards the bottom.

Is the male lead really that unimportant?

in the military camp.

If you ignore the city gate that has been burned to charcoal, the military camp doesn't look like there's anything dangerous going on.

There were no bodies, not even a few drops of blood on the ground.

All the survivors in the military camp hid in the tunnels, waiting for Mei Shengke to bring back reinforcements.

Soldiers are supposed to be protecting their country. But now, facing imminent disaster, instead of resisting, they've hidden themselves away, waiting for rescue.

It's really a shame that this outfit is not as good as it is.

What Mei Shengke didn't say was that they had been resisting from beginning to end.

When the mutated beasts first attacked, Mei Shengke sent men to fire arrows from the city wall, but unfortunately the mutated beasts' hides were impervious to weapons, and they were defeated.

No matter how sturdy something is, it cannot withstand the pressure of a giant rock. Meissenko put all the catapults to use.

Huge rocks rained down on the mutated beast, but it was like raindrops falling on a person—completely useless.

This behavior posed no threat to the mutated beast, but it enraged it.

The mutated beast roared, and a ball of flame spewed from its mouth.

It was a dark red ball of fire, not very big, but its power should not be underestimated.

The city gate was made of jujube wood, which is inherently fireproof, and it was also covered with a layer of iron, making the gate impervious to water and fire.

But in the face of that dark red flame, it was on the verge of collapse in just a moment.

In an instant, a huge hole was burned through the door...

All physical attacks were ineffective, and fire attacks probably wouldn't work either, since this mutated beast can breathe fire.

Water overcomes fire, so Mei Shengke ordered his men to take all the water from the camp and pour it on the mutated beasts.

Unfortunately, the water was turned into steam before it even touched the mutated beast.

But looking at it from another perspective, water is indeed effective for it.

It's just that the water didn't splash on it.

So, external attacks were no longer effective, and Mei Shengke could only try to break through from within.

Poisoning has become the only feasible method so far.

It wasn't easy to feed it the poison. If this mutated beast hadn't been able to speak, and if Mei Shengke hadn't put on a show with Wei Wujiang, playing the role of betraying humanity, then the poison really wouldn't have gone down.

If so much water can be dried out, then a small bottle of poison would be even more so.

They wouldn't even need to breathe fire; a breath would probably be enough to extinguish it.

Unfortunately, the poison, which had been expected to be highly effective, proved useless. The mutated beast showed no reaction whatsoever after consuming it.

The mutated beast clearly regarded this place as its territory, and all the two-legged creatures were nothing more than its food.

However, since Mei Shengke is quite well-behaved and sensible, she can be eaten last.

Mei Shengke lost all her strength and means. People around her died one after another, but she could not save anyone, nor could she save anyone.

She is now highly valued by the mutated beasts. If it weren't for her advice that they shouldn't eat too many humans at once, but rather let them give birth to a bunch of little humans so that there would be an endless supply of humans to eat, everyone here would have died long ago.

Fortunately, there were many spies planted in the military camp, and many prisoners were still locked in the jail, which solved the immediate problem.

While Mei Shengke cooked different dishes for the mutated beast every day in an attempt to reduce the chances of it eating people, he also ordered his men to hide in the secret passage.

The entrance to the secret passage is small and narrow, allowing only one person to enter at a time.

The secret passages are interconnected and have several exits, but the actual space inside is not very large.

Another reason is that several sections of the secret passage collapsed due to the previous rain disaster.

There was no other way but to carry out emergency repairs.

The process of getting in was already slow, and now with emergency repairs, it will take even longer.

Mei Shengke could only try his best to stall.

The mutated beast treated Mei Shengke well; at least it was quite satisfied with her cooking skills.

Although it wouldn't eat her immediately, Mei Shengke was often injured when it got angry because of its unpredictable temper.

Even a bowl thrown randomly by a mutated beast would leave a wound on Mei Shengke if it hit him.

This requires a very fast speed to do.

The person sent out for help never returned, and Mei Shengke guessed that something had happened to her.

Mei Shengke escaped on the day all the soldiers had taken refuge underground.
