"It's quite fierce."
The Bone Armor Giant Pig charged forward with large strides, but the vines immediately lashed out, knocking it to the ground with their heavy force.
"Hm? The bone armor isn't broken?"
Your next read awaits at мѵʟ
Su Han was somewhat surprised; the bone armor had not shattered, which made this monster somewhat interesting.
However, before the Bone Armor Giant Pig could struggle to its feet, the vines had already wrapped around it, one after another, springing from the ground and binding it firmly in place, no matter how much it struggled, it couldn't break free.
The Man-eating Vine moved quickly, biting into the thick belly and injecting paralytic toxin.
In no time at all, the giant pig had lost all signs of movement, emitting heavy snoring sounds.
Su Han controlled the vines to lower the three of them to the ground.
"This dude is much tougher than a large Golden Cup."
Zhu Xiong clicked his tongue in wonder, circling around the Bone Armor Giant Pig, which, although lying on its side, was about as tall as him.
"Get to work. Although it's just First Order Upper Grade, it's definitely worth cultivating a bit more."
As Su Han's voice came over, Zhu Xiong was taken aback for a moment, then cracked a wide smile, "Then I won't be polite."
Thinking gratefully of Su Han's kindness, Old Zhu didn't have a way to bring his brothers along anymore now that it was the apocalypse, but he was ready to take on the task of scavenging for supplies, planning to make more trips to find some metal to enhance Su Han's strength.
He let the Devourer go at it, its Hardening skill already applied, sharp teeth were unmistakably revealed, biting furiously at the neck of the Bone Armor Giant Pig.
The neck of the Bone Armor Giant Pig was particularly sturdy, its mane was black and thick as if it were cloaked in cotton batting, but these bristles couldn't stop the terrifying bite of the Devourer.
After only a moment's resistance, the sharp teeth broke through the mane and settled on the flesh of the neck, severing blood vessels and the windpipe, a mouthful of fresh blood surged into the devourer's gaping maw, continuously channeled into its own body.
The paralyzed Bone Armor Giant Pig couldn't move at all and could only watch as its life force slowly slipped away.
Zhu Xiong's Book of Blood Spirit lit up, new pages emerged, and light slowly enveloped the Bone Armor Giant Pig.
As Zhu Xiong enacted his Contract, Su Han surveyed the entire market scene.
Whether it were storefronts or stalls, they were now all in disarray, especially where the Bone Armor Giant Pig had appeared, littered with heaps of bones that were white as snow and giving off a foul stench.
"These bones are very much in line with the Crawlers and Meat Corpses. This giant pig must have considered them food," Zhao Yimin deduced from the bones; the bite marks on the shattered remains were clearly made by the Bone Armor Giant Pig.
With a bitter expression, he said, "Who knows if the original form of this monster was a domestic pig or a wild boar. How did it turn into this in just over a month? The life evolution beyond natural law, humanity..."
"At least now we can still use Angel Envoys."
Su Han replied softly, his gaze landing on Zhu Xiong, "It should be about done."
Sure enough, as his voice fell, the red light quickly disappeared, and with it the form of the Bone Armor Giant Pig.
"Success."
Zhu Xiong's face rippled with fat, a happy grin spreading across it, "First Order Upper Grade Bone Armor Giant Pig, and it even has a skill, Bone Armor, made a tidy profit."
The Bone Armor Giant Pig was massive, and both strength and defense were of high quality, apparent from how it held its own in combat with the Meat Mountain Demon and managed to escape fully-fed numerous times.
Now that it had the Bone Armor skill, presumably that was the skill that had thickened the spine earlier, its defense was visibly strong, at least strong enough that a casual whip from the Second-order Superior Ancient Worm Tree could not break it.
"Don't be too happy yet; remember to let Bai Qilan draw a few more tubes of blood after we go back. This fellow is probably an Evolved Kind."
Compared to the Meat Mountain Demon and Giant Claw Zombie, this one was rational and not overly bloodthirsty, clearly different from those mutated kinds.
"Draw, go ahead and draw as much as you want. At worst, it's just resting a bit longer."
"Then let's go over there."
Su Han asked Cao Yubao to lead the way. Within the hospital, they didn't have to go far, just around a corner and they were at the comprehensive building not far from the entrance.
"Roar"
The building had not yet been cleared, and there were faint monster roars coming from inside.
"I'll take people in."
Zhu Xiong was ready to lead the people in when Su Han shook his head and said, "I'll clear the area first."
The Ancient Worm Tree approached the comprehensive building with large steps, its height of about thirty-four to thirty-five meters nearly matching that of the ten-plus-story building.
Fast-growing Vines!
The vines extended their fangs and claws, rapidly spreading across the entire building from all directions, whether through corridors or windows and reaching into the building before them.
Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva as a chill ran up their backs and straight to their scalps.
Despite being their own leader, the vines and fleshy tentacles of the Ancient Worm Tree were like an Evil God, devouring the building.
One terrifying roar after another rang out, accompanied by sounds of battle; first there were fierce roars, then helpless wails as killing ensued on every floor.
Wherever the Radiance of the Lamp Tree illuminated, wherever the vines reached, the monsters were overwhelmed by the vines.
In ten minutes, the vines had covered every nook and cranny of the entire building.
The dark vines and tentacles blanketed the building, as if they had grown there over decades and were now one with it.
"Old Zhu, lead the people in to move things, everyone lend a hand."
"Understood."
Zhu Xiong looked at the people and said, "Except for the patients and children, everyone follow me, especially those without a contract."
A group of dozens of people led by Zhu Xiong entered the comprehensive building. As soon as they stepped into the lobby, they saw the bodies of monsters all over the floor, penetrated by the vines, and blood slowly dripping out, pooling on the ground.
The stench and the twisted faces of the monsters filled everyone's heart with unease and a vague feeling of nausea.
"Zhou Ziqing, lead the way. Move the useful stuff first."
Zhou Ziqing was Cao Yubao's student and a doctor here, very familiar with the layout of the comprehensive building.
He led everyone directly to the second floor where the medical supplies were stored, and then everyone, including the corpses, started moving things.
The stock of medical supplies exceeded Su Han and his team's expectations. Although some drugs were unusable due to compromised storage conditions,
the remaining drugs, masks, gauze, and other supplies were far more than what two trucks could transport.
With no other choice, Zhu Xiong and the others had to select the most important supplies and those needed for surgery to move first.
In one hour, with the help of the vines, everyone finally finished loading the trucks.
Everyone boarded the vehicles, and those who couldn't fit even sat on the backs of Zhu Xiong's Bone Armor Giant Pigs, then quickly departed back the way they came.
However, not long after they left, the roar of vehicles could be heard again as another convoy rushed into the hospital.
The vehicle came to an abrupt stop, and a tall man with a square face furrowed his brow, murmuring, "Something is wrong, the hospital has been cleared."
"What should we do now?"
At the driver's seat, a muscular black man holding a pistol and flashing the hazard lights as a caution to the convoy, asked.
"First get off and search, see if there's a doctor. The development of the camp can't do without a doctor, that's the boss's orders."
