the city of terror

Chapter 5 – Thunder Worm Electric Ball

The more Wei Xiao Bei thought about it, the more lucky he felt.

When the giant slug had noticed Wei Xiao Bei’s existence, the man ran quicker. This attracted the slug’s attention, leading to the slug launching its attack on the man first.

Otherwise, Wei Xiao Bei might have been the one who died since he was so close to the door.

Wei Xiao Bei offered the nameless man a moment of silence. Then, he steadied his mind, and searched the man’s pockets for something useful.

Sigh. This man did not have anything on him other than this business card.

Name: Guan Ming Jun, Position: Da Xing Parking Lot Guard.

Guan Ming Jun was not a bad name.Unfortunately, he was already dead.

Fear for this world arose as Wei Xiao Bei looked at the corpse. He did not know whether this was a dream or reality.

Wei Xiao Bei thought that it would have been better if this Guan Ming Jun were still alive, that way he could have received information about what happened. But now, that man’s only worth was to lie down on the ground and give off the smell of rotting flesh.

He dragged Guan Ming Jun’s corpse to a courtyard close by and covered it up with trash since he did not have the time or mood to dig him a grave.

Wei Xiao bei needed to quickly return to the safety of the apartment for shelter.

After the slug’s death, the street became quiet once again, causing Wei Xiao Bei to tense up. He was afraid that another monster like the giant slug would pounce towards him.

As he reached the apartment without further incident, he felt his luck must have taken a turn for the better.

He closed the courtyard gate and the apartment doors. Then he used broken bowls, iron wires, and other various objects to create a makeshift alarm. Only after the alarm was completed was he able to relax.

Upon returning to his room, Wei Xiao Bei sat on the bedside. The scene of him fighting the giant slug still lingered in his mind.

He had never encountered such an exciting situation before, even as a former soldier.

Being able to see blood during training was already not bad for a soldier in times of peace.

Naturally, special forces were in a different situation from him.

Wei Xiao Bei’s willpower remained firm, and he quickly put the scene of the fight behind his mind.

With a careless movement, his entire body began to sting, bringing him back to the reality of his situation. He extended his hand, took out the meatball, and wiped the remaining juices on it.

The more he wiped off the stinky juice, the meatball’s fragrance became more tempting . It was so fragrant to the point that he began to salivate, and his stomach followed with a growl.

At this time, the status panel once again appeared in his mind.

Name: Wei Xiao Bei

Gender: Male

Age: 21

Creature Rank: 1 star

Status: (The average adult male’s status value is 10) Lightly wounded. All stats are decreased by 20%

Evolution Point: 100

Item on hand: Thunder Worm Electric Ball

Wei Xiao Bei did not really care about the lightly wounded status nor the 20% decrease in stats at all. He only felt that his body, compared to before, had weakened a huge amount.

He noticed two changes that happened to the status panel. One was that his evolution points had become 100, and the other was his items.

He could not help but pay full attention to the new words, ‘Thunder Worm Electric Ball’. Soon after, another panel popped up with explanations.

Thunder Worm Electric Ball: 2 star creature Thunder Worm’s electricity generating organ. Not poisonous. Edible. Usage Unknown.

So it seems that giant slug was called a Thunder Worm?

The Thunder Worm truly deserved its name. The electrical resistance of air was very high, higher than most major resistors. Under normal circumstances, breaking the resistance of dry air by just a millimeter needed more than a thousand volts. The Thunder Worm easily broke through the resistance of slightly moist air with a distance of 4 meters, needing to use the voltage of at least tens of thousand.

Should I eat this?

This idea appeared in Wei Xiao Bei’s mind.

He couldn’t help but be surprised by his own thoughts. What the hell am I thinking?

He had been through a survival training when he was a soldier. He had eaten earthworms, locusts, snakes, caterpillars and other things before, and sometimes he even ate them raw.

However, he knew that worms and snakes did not have any poison. Even if caterpillars had poison in them, he knew how to deal with it.

However, the meatball came from the giant slug.

Even when disregarding everything else, just the fact that the giant slug’s juices had the property to corrode made it hard to believe that the meatball wasn’t poisonous.

Even if he knew the Thunder Worm Electric Ball was not poisonous, it was still difficult for him to accept it.

I can’t eat this!

Wei Xiao Bei instantly rejected this idea that floated up form his mind. He lied on the bed and prepared to rest, forgetting to inspect the 100 evolution points that appeared in his status panel.

The battle with the giant slug had tired him out. Even as he lied down on the bed, the stinging pain continued to assault Wei Xiao Bei’s entire body, almost making him lose consciousness.

However, the stinging pain from his corroded skin simply did not allow him to fall asleep.

The best he could do was close his eyes and rest. After a while, Wei Xiao Bei couldn’t help but grab the meatball and give it a squeeze.

The meatball immediately let out a fragrance that stifled him.

It smelled so attractive that various food like fried chicken leg, braised pork, kung pao chicken, beef steak floated up in Wei Xiao Bei’s mind.

This was truly an unendurable torture.

The urge to consume the meatball kept rising in his mind, while his stomach kept growling.

Wei Xiao Bei did not know why the smell made his stomach so hungry. The allure of the fragrance had completely made him lose all urges to eat the hardtack.

Torture! Endurace! Impulse!

These three things interweaved together, and were about to be the death of him.

After enduring for god knows how long, Wei Xiao Bei’s gaze was already lifeless. He unconsciously grabbed the meatball with his right hand and moved it to his mouth.

First bite, second bite, third bite, and its gone.

Only after it was gone did Wei Xiao Bei notice that he had already eaten the meatball, without leaving anything left over.

Vomit!

Wei Xiao Bei immediately felt nauseous. The blue juice left on his hand let out a strange odor, indicating that the meatball was definitely not as delicious as it smelled.
