Chapter 5

PS: Thanks to Hongchen Heng for the generous donation.

Speaking of which, I must be quite lucky.

At the same time the giant slug noticed me, this man sped up his escape, drawing the slug's attention, and the first electric shock hit him instead.

Otherwise, standing near the roller shutter, I might have also met the same fate of being electrocuted to death.

After silently mourning for this unknown man for a while, Wei Xiaobei gathered his spirits, rummaged through the man's pockets, hoping to find something useful.

Hmm, the man only had a work ID card, nothing else.

Name: Guan Mingjun, Position: Security Guard at Daxing Parking Lot.

Guan Mingjun, a good name, but unfortunately, he died here.

Looking at this corpse, Wei Xiaobei felt an inexplicable fear of this world, unsure whether he was dreaming or experiencing something real.

For Wei Xiaobei, if Guan Mingjun were still alive, he could have provided some useful information, but now, his only value was to lie on the ground, rotting and stinking.

Dragging Guan Mingjun's body to a nearby small courtyard and covering it with some debris, Wei Xiaobei didn't have the time or mood to dig a grave for him.

He needed to return to the rental house, which should be safer.

The street was too quiet, making Wei Xiaobei's nerves tense, fearing that a monster similar to the slug might suddenly pounce from the roadside.

Wei Xiaobei's luck seemed to have turned for the better. He didn't encounter any monsters until he entered the courtyard of the rental house.

After securing the courtyard and building doors and setting up a few simple alarm devices with broken bowls and wire, Wei Xiaobei let out a slight sigh of relief.

Back in the room, Wei Xiaobei plopped down on the edge of the bed, the scenes of the battle with the slug still echoing in his mind.

Even when he was in the military, Wei Xiaobei never encountered such an exciting situation.

In peacetime, soldiers are lucky to see blood on the training ground.

Of course, special forces are a different matter.

Wei Xiaobei was relatively strong-willed and quickly pushed the battle scenes out of his mind.

Accidentally moving, he triggered a series of stings on his skin, which brought him back to his senses. He reached out to take the meatball, wiping off the juice on its surface.

As the juice was wiped clean, the meatball's aroma became even more enticing, making Wei Xiaobei swallow his saliva repeatedly, realizing he was hungry.

At this moment, the attribute panel reappeared in his mind.

Wei Xiaobei didn't feel much about the light injury status, the 20% reduction in strength, agility, and constitution; he just felt much weaker than before.

Two changes appeared below the attribute panel: one was that the evolution points increased from zero to 100, and the other was the addition of an item.

Wei Xiaobei's attention was drawn to the Thunder Slug Electric Pill, and some information popped up.

Thunder Slug Electric Pill: Core power generation organ of a 2-star Thunder Slug, non-toxic, edible, effects unknown.

So, that giant slug is called a Thunder Slug?

The Thunder Slug is indeed worthy of its name. The resistance of air is much higher than that of most resistive materials. Normally, to break through one millimeter of dry air, the voltage needs to reach one thousand volts. To break through more than four meters of air, even in extremely humid conditions, the voltage required would exceed ten thousand volts.

Eat it?

A thought suddenly popped into Wei Xiaobei's mind.

Eat it? What a joke! Wei Xiaobei was startled by his own thought.

Although he had undergone wilderness survival training in the military and eaten things like earthworms, locusts, snakes, and caterpillars raw, these were all known to be non-toxic, and he knew how to handle the toxic spines on caterpillars.

But this meatball came from the giant slug.

Not to mention the corrosive blue liquid, which clearly indicated that the giant slug was not a non-toxic creature.

The Thunder Slug Electric Pill might be non-toxic, but it was hard to accept psychologically.

Can't eat it!

Wei Xiaobei immediately dismissed the thought that had popped into his mind, lay down on the bed, and prepared to rest.

At this moment, Wei Xiaobei forgot to check the 100 evolution points that had appeared on the attribute panel.

The battle with the Thunder Slug had almost drained Wei Xiaobei's strength. As soon as he lay down, he almost fainted from the pain all over his body.

But the stinging pain from the corroded skin on his body prevented him from falling into a deep sleep.

After resting with his eyes closed for a while, Wei Xiaobei couldn't resist reaching out to grab the meatball and squeezing it casually.

Instantly, the aroma from the meatball almost made Wei Xiaobei choke.

It was too tempting. Images of roasted chicken legs, braised pork, Kung Pao chicken, and steak floated in his mind.

This was truly an unbearable torment.

The urge to eat the meatball kept flashing in his mind, and his stomach growled inappropriately.

For some reason, the smell made Wei Xiaobei hungry again, but under the temptation of the aroma, he had no desire to eat the compressed biscuits.

Torment, endurance, and impulse!

The three intertwined, almost making Wei Xiaobei feel like he wanted to commit suicide.

After an unknown amount of time, Wei Xiaobei's eyes were already glazed over, and his right hand subconsciously brought the meatball to his mouth.

One bite, two bites, three bites, and it was gone.

At this moment, Wei Xiaobei realized he had eaten the entire meatball, leaving not a trace.

Ugh!

Wei Xiaobei felt a wave of nausea. The blue liquid left on his hands emitted a strange smell, proving that the meatball wasn't as delicious as it seemed.
