Chapter 56 – The Harvest

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

Li Quan'an fell silent immediately.

Even Sun Ruixing and Sun Aotian, standing nearby, remained quiet.

"I want… I want to…"

Li Quan'an looked into Wen Yu's indifferent eyes and hesitated for a moment.

"Thank you."

A simple phrase, yet it confirmed Li Quan'an's choice.

No matter what kind of monster one became, survival was the eternal, unchanging instinct of all living things!

No one wanted to die. Just as Li Quan'an had chosen to eat human flesh back then!

"Don't thank me; it's your own choice. To stay alive, any choice made is worthy of respect. Leave this place. Go anywhere-just get out of Mudanjiang City. I hope you survive."

Wen Yu smiled at Li Quan'an and offered his blessing.

Li Quan'an nodded heavily and walked straight into the room. He packed a large backpack and took a police-issue automatic rifle along with a small amount of ammunition.

"There are more weapons inside. You guys take them."

After saying that, Li Quan'an headed straight downstairs.

Watching Li Quan'an's figure recede into the distance, Sun Ruixing let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Sun Aotian, however, asked with a look of hesitation, "Are we really just letting him go?"

Wen Yu lit another cigarette. Li Quan'an's words had left his heart feeling a bit heavy.

He nodded. Seeing that Li Quan'an had already exited the small building and was walking further and further away, Wen Yu replied, "We're really letting him go. I've been in contact with him for a long time, and he helped me out quite a bit."

"But… but if you let him go, he'll keep eating people!"

Although Sun Aotian felt deep sympathy for Li Quan'an's plight, he couldn't help but shout when he realized the man would certainly continue to be one of the Cannibals.

"That's why I told him to go as far away as possible. As long as I don't see these messy affairs, it's as if they never happened. There's going to be plenty of this crap in the future; I don't have the leisure to manage every single case!"

"Also, when I say I'm letting him go, I mean I'm letting him go. Today, if you dare leave my sight, I'll kill you!"

Sun Aotian had just lifted his backside, intending to chase after Li Quan'an and finish him off, but Wen Yu's words scared him right back into his seat. He stammered, unable to find his voice.

Patting Sun Aotian on the shoulder, Wen Yu pointed directly to the room Li Quan'an had just exited. "Instead of worrying about Li Quan'an, I think we should see how much stuff these Cannibals left behind for us!"

At those words, Sun Aotian's eyes instantly lit up.

These people had Guns. Even Sun Aotian didn't believe that what they had just seen was the extent of the weapons stored here!

At sixteen or seventeen, one's attention span isn't the most focused. For a teenager like him, Guns were far more attractive than worrying about Cannibals!

"Then I'll go settle these people first. In a bit, we'll take them straight back to the Camp!"

Sun Ruixing gave Wen Yu a nod and led the "food" they had rescued from the area downstairs.

"Let's go. Let's see what good stuff is in there."

As soon as Wen Yu finished speaking, Sun Aotian had already bolted into the room. Then, a series of excited yelps rang out!

"Wen Yu-Ge, holy crap! There are so many Guns here!"

As Wen Yu stepped into the small room, the scene inside unfolded before his eyes.

The first things he saw were two corpses lying on the floor. One had been stabbed through the back with a Steel Blade, and the other had been decapitated. Judging by their pale complexions, both had been Cannibals.

These people had been killed by Li Quan'an.

Then, there was a row of weapon racks.

Sun Aotian had said there was "quite a lot," but in reality, there was very little.

Compared to the supply depots established by the Country that Wen Yu had seen in his previous life, the weapons stored here were merely the collection of a simple civilian hobbyist.

However, the weapons displayed here were of high quality, all of which were currently standard issue for the Armed Police in the Country.

Type 77 Pistol.

Type 79 Submachine Gun.

M16-style Automatic Rifle.

And a large amount of matching Small-Caliber Ammunition.

After a brief glance, Wen Yu let out a cold sneer.

In the future, these things would be nothing more than toys used to hunt Rabbits-and by Rabbits, he meant those of Level 1 and below!

Guns had to be modified by specialized Class Holders and then handed over to Archer Class Holders before they could exert terrifying power.

Compared to the Guns in the hands of Class Holders in his previous life, which possessed power comparable to giant cannons, these things truly didn't catch Wen Yu's eye.

He casually picked up an automatic rifle and operated it with practiced ease, firing two semi-automatic shots toward the window. Listening to the crisp crack of the gunfire and watching the trajectory of the bullets, Wen Yu tossed the toy onto the ground and shook his head in disappointment.

"Pack everything up and take it back."

Sun Aotian, on the other hand, was full of excitement, letting out a strange whoop. "Whoa, this is awesome! I've wanted to get my hands on a Gun for a long time. I finally got my wish!"

Watching Sun Aotian obsessively hang Guns all over himself as if possessed, Wen Yu felt helpless. He decided to simply start inspecting the other items in the room.

The Guns only occupied one wall. On another wall, there was a display cabinet; the items inside were the true harvest of this trip.

Opening the transparent glass door, the first things Wen Yu picked up were 3 Level 1 Magic Crystals…

"This lot might as well have stayed poor until they died!"

Wen Yu remarked casually. He knew that for those abandoned by the Stone Pillars-or rather, the Ruler-the only way to obtain Magic Crystals was from the corpses of Mutant Beasts. Being able to save up three Magic Crystals was likely something they had managed before becoming Cannibals, leftovers they hadn't used up yet.

He set the small items aside, intending to give these Magic Crystals to Sun Ruixing later.

After all, Sun Aotian and Sun Ruixing had done the most work to take down this small place; Wen Yu had basically just gone for a stroll.

Then, he saw 2 small wooden boxes inside.

He casually opened one, revealing a small bottle lying quietly inside.

As he picked up the small bottle, which emitted a faint red glow, the item's Attributes appeared in Wen Yu's mind.

Berserk Potion (C-Rank Item): After consumption, Physical Attributes are doubled for 10 minutes. After the effect ends, Physical Attributes are halved for one day. Only effective on Level 4 creatures and below.

Ah, the famous suicide potion from his previous life. Ordinary people didn't dare use it and couldn't afford it anyway. The greatest use for this kind of item was in large-scale warfare!

With such a powerful effect, if an organized unit of Class Holders drank the potion and charged for 5 minutes, the results would be terrifying.

He put the potion directly into his Spatial Ring and took out the final box.

Inside the box, a Pointer shimmering with a golden light lay quietly!
