Damn zombies, how dare they disguise themselves as humans!

"You fatso!"

Do you think this is a time of peace?

"It's the end of the world, human life is worthless, and you still dare to flaunt your official power?"

Luo Tian, ​​who was walking in with a knife, coldly watched as Director Qian gradually stood there, stunned.

Before he could recover, he said coldly:

"Use your pig brain to think about why there's a monster in this hiding place I sent you to?"

"Could it have just wandered in by chance?"

"Just because you have a bit of status and power, you think you can manipulate others at will."

"You think I'd actually become your servant just because you promise me some benefits?"

"You're even thinking of leaving the city to continue being a superior person? To continue lording it over others?"

"Besides, what do you mean by 'you are my luck' or 'you are my benefactor'? Do you know what happened to the person who said that last time?"

"And your subordinates, they're all arrogant and domineering, they're all no good!"

"In the past, I would have killed you all long ago!"

"But I didn't do it. I changed my mind at the last minute. Now you should understand why."

As Luo Tian continued walking towards Director Qian, he pointed the knife at the mutated cat corpse behind him: "Since we're all dead anyway, why not make use of them? Without you guys to take our place, I might be the one who gets killed instantly."

"You...you...you...you..."

Following the direction Luo Tian pointed, Director Qian finally saw the decapitated mutated cat on the ground and was instantly stunned.

The monster was actually killed?

And it looks like he was killed by a knife?

But how could that be!

The mutant cat is so fast that it's impossible to even see it clearly, how could it possibly be killed by a knife?

Conversely, if it could be killed, then...

Director Qian turned his stiff gaze and stared blankly at Luo Tian, ​​his face full of disbelief and even incredulity.

He knew Luo Tian was very skilled and had strong combat power, but he never expected him to be so outrageous as to be able to kill such a monster.

But as Luo Tian drew closer, his gaze falling on the knife in Luo Tian's hand, and remembering his earlier words, Director Qian was jolted awake. He hurriedly said, "Young comrade, you...you can't do anything reckless! I know many military officers, and I have a relative who's a high-ranking leader. If anything happens to me, they will definitely avenge me. Don't think you can rest easy just because no one has found out. There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. What if they find out? You need to think about your future. Killing me is not worth it; it will only bring you death..."

Seeing that threats were useless, Director Qian could only hurriedly switch to pleading. His face, already pale from blood loss, grew even paler: "Young man, no! Young brother, please don't kill me, please! Just let me go, and kindly escort me out of the city. I'll give you whatever you want, really, I promise. I believe this was just a misunderstanding. Those people are dead, so be it. They deserved to die anyway. Besides, using their lives to let you kill this harmful monster is more than worth it. Once we're out of the city, I'll definitely report to my superiors and ask for credit. Killing a mutated monster single-handedly is definitely a great achievement. Please... please, you don't need to find me medicine or bandage me. It's just a minor injury, just let me go out of the city with you... please, please, please..."

"Whoosh!"

Luo Tian walked past him without stopping.

He just casually swung the knife. His head was instantly thrown off and rolled down.

……

A rooftop somewhere.

As always, Luo Tian found a corner and sat down against the wall.

[Biology: Pet Cat]

[Type: Special Mutant]

[Level: B+]

[Event: A highly sensitive, special mutant is relentlessly killing and mutating. Latest plot update: Click to follow. No one knows what it will ultimately evolve into.]

[Commentary: Although killing it cost the lives of some survivors, it was all worthwhile. Their deaths will bring countless others to life, and the host feels a great sense of satisfaction and happiness.]

"It really feels good to screw over these trash."

"But double rewards aren't so easy to get."

"I almost capsized in the gutter and died at the hands of this monster."

Looking at the system's file information and recalling what had happened not long ago, Luo Tian still felt lingering fear.

His scavenger profession has just been upgraded from C-rank to B-rank, he doesn't have many skills, and his combat power is limited.

The mutant cat is B+ grade, which is a level higher. Its speed and reaction are too fast, and it is not something he can currently defeat.

Imagine what would have happened if Director Qian and his group hadn't taken the first step and he had gone in without knowing their background.

They will definitely be defeated!

Even if you go in stealthily, it's the same.

The fact that he took advantage of the mutated cat being distracted by Director Qian to launch a stealth attack, and that the cat escaped a fatal blow, proves this point.

This monster has an extremely strong instinct for danger, coupled with its terrifying reaction and speed, making it difficult to ambush it by stealth. Even when the system's guardian chief managed to pounce on it, he did not take the opportunity to strike. Instead, he used a magnetic storm grenade to paralyze it and then killed it during the 3-second paralysis period.

This is the safest and most secure approach.

Otherwise, if the attack misses and is dodged, he will surely die after consuming the system's daily protection.

Close the file and open the rewards screen.

[Cleanup complete]

[Target: Mutant pet cat (deceased)]

[Level: B+]

The rewards are as follows.

1. Points +200 (Double for special missions)

[2. Choose one: survival rations or exchangeable food (double rewards for special missions)]

[3. Choose one from three options: random reward, keen skill, or skill fusion (or two from three options for special missions)]

"Double 200 points?"

"The base points reward is 100."

"The mutated cat, a B+ grade objective, should be the ceiling among B grade missions, so the highest score reward for a B grade mission is probably 100."

"This activation of the Guardian skill cost a total of 160 points. Fortunately, it wasn't a loss."

After glancing at the rewards, Luo Tian skipped over the survival supplies and focused his attention on the third type of reward.

"A keen skill?"

Luo Tian silently checked.

[Acuity: Active use enhances neural responses by 100% for 5 seconds, with a 10-minute cooldown.]

"Enhancing neural responses?"

Luo Tian was slightly taken aback.

But what followed was utter speechlessness.

The mutant cat's speed is one factor, but its unpredictable reactions are the most important.

The moment you raised your knife, it ran away.

Or it pounces on you before you even realize it.

How do we fight this?

However, if one had possessed this skill at the time, doubling the neural reaction speed, and combined with the doubled acceleration of Swiftness, even if one couldn't completely overwhelm it, one would at least be able to keep up with the mutated cat's reactions and have some fighting power. One could even kill it without triggering the Guardian or using the Magnetic Storm Grenade.

"Claim your reward."

"The second option is double the vitamin rations."

"The third type is sharp skills and random rewards."

Luo Tian didn't hesitate at all when faced with the third option of double rewards; it was definitely the skills and random rewards.

As for skill fusion, we'll talk about that later.

[Ding! Reward is about to be issued.]

[Rewards are random...]

[Randomization complete.]
