49: Chapter 49 Su Xiaoqi: A Childlike Face with a Fierce Fierce Man!

Chen Chen rolled out of bed and stretched his muscles.

A sound like popping beans erupted from deep within his bones.

His god-tier talent, [Physical Overlimit], had finished settling at midnight.

He pulled up his personal panel.

[Physique: 70]

Seventy points in Physique!

Seven times the human baseline.

Chen Chen swung his arm casually, cutting through the air and actually creating a faint sonic boom.

Immediately after, he picked up a metal box from the bedside that was emitting a soft silver glow.

This was the first [Silver-Grade Void Supply Box] produced after Shen Wanbing's entry evolved.

He opened the lid.

A blinding flash of silver light shone through, and a ring, forged entirely from an unknown metal and engraved with ancient spatial fluctuation runes, hovered silently in mid-air.

[silver-grade storage ring]

[Effect: Contains an independent storage space of 30 cubic meters. Comes with the "Time Stasis" attribute; any organic matter (such as food or medicine) placed inside will forever remain in the state it was in when inserted and will not spoil.]

Chen Chen's eyes lit up.

A thirty-cubic-meter mini-warehouse!

Even more critical was the "Time Stasis" attribute.

This meant he could hoard massive amounts of fresh food without any worries, completely freeing himself from the shackles of military rations and compressed biscuits.

Chen Chen put on the ring and focused his mind.

The various supplies that were previously stuffed into his thirty-six-slot storage backpack and nearly bursting it—crates of canned meat, barrels of purified water, mountains of military-grade materials, and those precious high-tier aberrant cartilages—were frantically swallowed up by a white light and transferred entirely into the ring's independent space.

The thirty-six-slot backpack was instantly emptied, leaving only some sundries that needed to be accessed at any time.

...

Half an hour later.

Chen Chen took Shen Wanbing down to the living deck.

A scene worthy of a battlefield of jealousy officially began.

Shen Wanbing had changed out of the business suit that had been thoroughly ruined, and was now wearing one of Chen Chen's spare black tactical shirts.

The oversized hem of the shirt barely covered the tops of her thighs, making her long legs, encased in a fresh pair of ultra-thin black silk stockings, appear even straighter and more slender.

She tried her best to act as if nothing had happened, but the irrepressible amorousness in her eyes and her slightly unnatural gait while walking completely betrayed her.

"Sister, you're awake?"

Shen Wanxing was sitting at the table drinking milk. Seeing her sister in this state, her eyes lit up, and the smile at the corner of her mouth couldn't be hidden.

Jiang Yanxue was leaning in the corner, polishing her prized short blade. Hearing the sound, she looked up, her gaze lingering on Shen Wanbing's black-stockinged legs for two seconds before she let out a cold snort.

However, a flash of extremely hidden emotion, unnoticed by anyone, quickly crossed her dark red eyes.

After eating, the RV engine roared once more.

The thirteen-and-a-half-ton heavy fortress drove out from the shelter of the beast's remains, plunging once again into the vast, boundless Flesh Wasteland.

The rain had stopped.

Chen Chen glanced at the latest regional leaderboard.

[District 069 Level Leaderboard]

1st Place: Chen Chen (Lv.7, No Affiliation)

2nd Place: Codename "Iron Wall" (Lv.7, North China Military Region 7th Mechanized Infantry Brigade)

3rd Place: Jiang Jiuyou (Dark Division)

...

"Iron Wall" had caught up.

Once a state-level violence machine like the military adapted to the apocalypse rules and utilized team advantages to crazily grind levels, their speed was astonishing.

And that ruthless Jiang Jiuyou was close behind as well.

The reshuffling of powers in the wasteland was accelerating.

Just then, the radar warning module suddenly flashed with a soft green light.

"Special stop found, eight hundred meters ahead."

Shen Wanbing's voice was still slightly weak and hoarse, but she had regained her usual composure, "The energy signature indicates a safe zone."

The RV slowly approached.

A bizarre small town appeared on the horizon.

To call it a town was a stretch; it was actually a cluster of buildings haphazardly piled together from massive, colorful mutant fungi and dried flesh tissues.

A crooked wooden sign stood at the town entrance: [Gluttony Town].

The system rule pop-up also appeared at the right moment.

[Warning: Causing fatal physical damage between players is prohibited within this area.]

[Note: All interactions and shelter within the town must be paid for using "High-Calorie Food" as the only hard currency.]

Using food as money?

Chen Chen parked the vehicle at the town entrance.

Just as he came to a stop, the sounds of intense combat and pig squeals drifted over from the direction of the town's central plaza.

In the plaza, a fully armed six-person squad was standing back-to-back, struggling to fend off an encirclement of monsters.

It was a group of "Gluttonous Aberrant Pigs," each the size of a bison and covered in oozing, pus-filled tumors.

And those six players were all wearing black tactical uniforms marked with a special dragon emblem—the Jiang Consortium's Dark Division!

Jiang Jiuyou's people.

This elite squad was clearly well-trained, but facing the fearless herd of aberrant pigs, they were already in grave danger.

What truly interested Chen Chen was the person they were desperately protecting in the very center.

A girl.

She looked to be just over 1.6 meters tall, with an extremely cute baby face and twin tails, looking like an underage high school student.

But in terrifying contrast to her petite height and cute face was the exaggerated curve of her chest, which didn't even lose out to Shen Wanbing's, stretching her tactical vest until it was bulging.

At this moment, this baby-faced loli was clutching a bloody, aberrant pig leg that was bigger than her own head, gnawing on it frantically.

Her eating style was incredibly wild, her mouth covered in grease.

"Xiaoqi! Hurry up! We can't hold them off much longer!"

The Dark Division captain roared anxiously while stabbing a tactical knife into the eye of an aberrant pig.

The loli known as "Su Xiaoqi" fiercely took the last bite of raw meat and wiped her greasy mouth.

The next second, her aura began to climb steadily!

A terrifying energy fluctuation erupted from her petite body.

"I'm full!"

She let out a delicate shout, her twin tails whipping through the air, leaving two afterimages.

She shot out like a cannonball, her speed so fast that only a blur could be seen.

She appeared in front of an aberrant pig that was about to ram the Dark Division captain, and that seemingly fair and petite fist smashed into the pig's head with a single punch!

"Bang!"

A dull thud.

The aberrant pig's skull, harder than iron, was smashed to pieces on the spot like a watermelon!

Red and white gore splattered everywhere.

Inside the vehicle, Jiang Yanxue's pupils shrank violently.

The explosive power of that punch was already on par with her own, even after her own Physique enhancements.

[Hongyan System automatically locking onto target...]

[Target Locked: Su Xiaoqi]

[Beauty Assessment: 97 points (Top-tier)]

[Talent Rating: SS-Grade · Gluttony Evolution]

[Talent Effect: Can consume high-energy food to gain a massive boost in attributes and explosive power for a short period. The more she eats and the higher the grade of the food, the more terrifying her combat power becomes.]

SS-Grade talent!

However, she didn't look cool for more than three seconds.

After delivering that earth-shattering punch, the aura on Su Xiaoqi deflated instantly like a punctured balloon.

"Grumble—"

A thunderous roar came from her stomach.

Her legs went weak, and she collapsed directly to the ground, her little face deathly pale, lacking even the strength to stand up.

"Hungry... I'm starving..."

The Dark Division captain rushed over in a panic, pulled a few pieces of dry, moldy compressed biscuits from his backpack, and frantically stuffed them into her mouth.

"Eat! Hurry up and eat! Big Sister Jiuyou gave a direct order: we must bring you back alive!"

Su Xiaoqi chewed the biscuits listlessly, tears almost welling up in her eyes.

"Captain... this stuff has no energy... it's like eating dirt... I... I'm not going to make it..."

The Dark Division captain looked at the herd of pigs surrounding them again, his face full of despair.

They had finally realized.

This Su Xiaoqi was a strategic-level bottomless pit.

Jiang Jiuyou treated her like a treasure, but they, the bodyguards, simply couldn't afford to feed this terrifying glutton!
