Chapter 932: The Power of Evolution

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

This farm was quite large, covering an area of ​​220 hectares. Both KFC and McDonald's bought poultry from them. From this fact, one could imagine their scale.

Sheyan was currently outside the farm. The building the captain had rushed into seemed to be the reception area and office of the farm, so there was no livestock there. Of course, there were no humans too.

Not long after they rushed inside, one of the soldiers ran out screaming with a horrified expression. He stopped for breath and looked back when he reached the door, but a lightning-fast shadow passed by him and tore away half of his neck!

The carotid artery, esophagus, windpipe and even his vocal cords were torn apart! The soldier twitched and fell on the ground, amidst a rain of flesh and blood. He tried to scream but no sound came out of his throat. It was an eerie sight. The young soldier's wild eyes showed his unwillingness to die, but they gradually dimmed.

The killer was a giant cockroach. It was as big as a hound with a dark brown flat body, a small head that can move around, antennae that were long and thin, and well-developed compound eyes.

Its two deformed forelimbs were bizarrely folded together like a pair of scissors. Their edges were incomparably sharp and had blood dripping down from them. Some remnants of human tissue clung to them as well. They looked a bit like the forelimbs of a praying mantis, but when one looked closely, one would find them to be a lot sharper.

Aziz instantly sent a series of information to Sheyan:

[Jones' Gene Carrier (Child of Jones)]

[Strength: 50]

[Agility: 68]

[Physique: 18]

[Perceptive Sense: 17]

[Charm: 1]

[Intelligence: 1]

[Spirit: 1]

[Basic Melee Proficiency Lvl 8. Specific properties: ???]

[Biological Ability: Many-footed Agility - Because the creature has many legs, movement speed is increased by 100% and dodge rate is increased by 20%. With every leg the creature loses, movement speed is reduced by 25% and dodge rate is reduced by 10%. These reductions will keep stacking until the creature has no legs left.]

[Biological Ability: Tenacious - The creature has amazing vitality. It will have an extra HP recovery rate of 100% in normal times. When it is heavily injured, its extra HP recovery rate will reach a staggering 300%.]

[Special Ability: Mantis Scissors - This disgusting monster is very adept at using his limbs to attack the enemies. Its deformed forelimbs will leave horrible wounds on its enemies. In addition, it has a corresponding ability to go with those terrifying weapons. This ability will allow it to attack the enemy in an instant to inflict 300% damage with 10% bonus in explosive strike rate and 33% chance to cripple the enemy.]

[Special ability: Alien Carapace (Evolved) - This monster has inherited Jones' newly evolved anti-energy outer shell which can reduce the damage of energy weapons by 95%, but at the cost of permanently lowering physical defence by 10 points. It will also have lowered resistance against firearms that do physical damages.]

[Bug Species Special Ability: Heart Nucleus - A creature with heart nucleus gets an additional 2000 HP bonus. The heart nucleus flows through the body along the bloodstream, so the explosive hit rate of the creature is reduced by 10%. Furthermore, if the heart nucleus is attacked, there will be an additional 300% of damage.]

[Description: This is a type of creature that should never appear on Earth. This type of creature will replace humans as the hegemon of Earth very quickly. It will be a big mistake to deal with them with nuclear weapons, the most powerful weapons the humans possess.]

[When a nuclear bomb explodes, all the living creatures in the affected area including humans, animals and even the fishes will disappear. Only the cockroaches will continue living. This is because the amount of radiation that the human body can tolerate is usually 5 rems, and once the total radiation exceeds 800 rems, humans will die. The German cockroach can endure radiation up to 9000-105000 rems, while the American cockroach can endure 967500rems. Even if there is a nuclear explosion, the cockroaches can survive.]

Sheyan's expression became serious:

"This is a huge problem!!"

That's right, anyone could see that this guy is a huge trouble!

As the King of the Bugs, Jones' the biggest disadvantage currently was that although he could breed, the bugs he produced were weaklings! A human being could destroy thousands of his children with bare hands without suffering any serious injury. However, there was now a new species among Jones' children that could pose a major threat to humans!

When Sheyan looked at the mantis-like forelimbs of the Child of Jones, he couldn't help but think of the massacre related to the seven sins. The humans killed in the massacre also seemed to have been cut by this kind of sharp edge. He then shifted his gaze to the corpse of the soldier who was killed by a shot. A chill crept into his heart.

Perhaps other people had yet to realise the meaning behind this, but the fact that the Bugs were so accurate with guns proved that Jones' underlings had undergone evolution. In addition, there was another important point: the guns used by Jones' underlings were all standardised firearms!

They were strong, stable and durable!

Although owning a gun was legal in the United States, it would be difficult for a regular person to provide so many standardised firearms that could hold their own against the United States army. This was especially so for Jones who could not integrate deep into human society since he could only speak simple English and was very stiff when he communicated with humans. It's impossible for him to use a large amount of cash to arm his underlings.

But it's a fact that his underlings were armed, which means that someone had provided them with these powerful weapons! It's difficult for the inhabitants of this world to even communicate with Jones, which means that there were contestants cooperating with Jones!

Just like the way Sheyan and Aziz cooperated with the MIB to gain tremendous power, the other contestants could naturally cooperate with other forces as well. This was actually an inevitable development so there's nothing strange about it. Sheyan was, strictly speaking, not that surprised, especially after a large number of participants had invaded this world. He was just wary of the danger because the opponent might have laid down some traps specifically targeting him. He must tread carefully.

K also felt that the situation was unusually tricky. If they launched a long-range battle, the opposing side had gun-wielding Bugmen who were extremely precise with their shots and were not afraid of death. If they fought at close range in tight spaces, the blade cockroaches would be a nightmare.

More crucially, the smoke bombs launched by helicopters were just insect repellents and would not actually kill the Bugs. To the Bugs, the insect repellents were equivalent to stink bombs rather than a poisonous gas. They would only feel terribly disgusted rather than any pain!

The Bugs that had not evolved and had no consciousness may be repelled by the stench, but for the Children of Jones who already had their own will and thoughts, staying in the smoke was akin to how a member of the special force would lurk in a waste pit to execute a mission. Although it felt terrible, it wasn't fatal either. They could endure it.

The humans organised another attack. This time, Sheyan was selected as well. His role was naturally to rush in front with a riot shield. Sheyan did not reject the role and successfully completed the request in an indisputable way - he only defended without attacking. The special forces members who pathetically retreated together with him in the end could only give him thumbs up. Many of them had received Sheyan's protection. Otherwise, they would have been crippled, or worse.

K's expression turned grim. It's not like he could grab Sheyan's collar in front of everyone and screamed: "Can you fucking ignore those stupid teammates of yours and concentrate on going forward?"

K knew that those words would make the troop collapse.

Sheyan stood indifferently to the side. There were two choices left to K at the moment. The first was to keep sending soldiers in. Once enough people died, the higher-ups would notice the situation here and would take this matter seriously.

The second choice was for K and Z to sacrifice themselves. When they did, higher-ups would understand the gravity of the situation and would take this matter seriously.

Z and K apparently treasured their own lives very much so they would not choose the latter option. The former option it was then. As the number of casualties gradually increased to an extent which no one could ignore, some higher-ups finally took notice of the situation here. They asked the people there to take a temporarily rest and let the army troops that were coming to go in first.

While they were resting, Sheyan's mind did not stop working. He went over to Aziz and said while chewing some tasteless military ration:

"What do you think?"

Aziz's gun skills had already gained the respect of the soldiers so his speech carried a domineering air, "Nothing. I only know that as long as there's another participant here, we will complete our Golden Side Mission!"

Sheyan said coldly:

"Jones have definitely allied himself with participants so you don't have to worry about that. What I'm worried about is that if we can't kill him now, we might not find another opportunity like this in the future."
