My cells devour all worlds.

"Fine, don't eat it then."

Liu Peng ignored Wang Hu and went straight to cook the rabbit meat.

He didn't add anything, just a little salt, a little vinegar, a little soy sauce, a little light soy sauce... and a little bit of the foot bath water from Sister Yu in Northeast China.

As the water in the pot boiled and bubbled, a unique aroma of meat began to waft out.

Wang Hu's stomach rumbled, and he began to hesitate.

Liu Peng then added a handful of noodles as a staple food.

Before long, a large pot of meat and noodles was brought to the table.

Wang Hu sniffed, swallowed hard, and shook his head vigorously.

"You can't eat it, you'll die if you do."

Liu Peng had already picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in his mouth. In an instant, he narrowed his eyes, and the expression on his face was as wonderful as could be.

Wang Hu stared intently, then couldn't help but ask, "Brother Peng, how is it? What does the meat taste like?"

Liu Peng shook his head, then picked up another piece and put it in his mouth. "Hmm... so-so... not tasty..."

Wang Hu believed him and said, "I knew it..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Liu Peng swiftly stuffed a piece of meat into it.

"Well……"

Wang Hu instinctively wanted to spit it out, but an unintentional touch caused a taste he had never tried before to spread in his mouth.

Wang Hu paused, then tried taking two bites, three bites, four bites...

Before he knew it, a piece of meat had already been swallowed.

The strange aroma lingered in her mouth, stirring the most primal desires in her body.

Wang Hu swallowed hard, his eyes completely changing. "This meat smells so good... Brother Peng, you lied to me. It's clearly delicious. What did you add to make it so good?"

He didn't care about anything else, he quickly grabbed a pair of chopsticks, plunged them into the pot, picked up a piece, and put it in his mouth.

"To taste something like this, even dying would be worth it..."

……

"What's that smell? It stinks. Is there a fire somewhere?"

It is located dozens of kilometers away from the South District.

A scavenger team was heading back when, halfway there, they suddenly smelled something burning.

Moreover, the further back you go, the stronger the smell becomes.

One of them sniffed hard. "Would someone set everything on fire just to catch a rabbit?"

"It should be, but I didn't see any smoke, so the fire should have stopped."

As they spoke, the motorcycles they were riding, whose owners were unknown, continued to chug forward.

Before long, the four of them arrived near the abandoned building.

The building no longer resembles its former self.

The already dilapidated building was blackened by the flames and most of it collapsed, leaving only a few bare black trees standing stubbornly around it.

The rest were either collapsed or burned to a crisp.

This blackness spread outwards in a large area, with tiny sparks occasionally reigniting from it, only to be quickly extinguished by the wind.

"Wow, it's burned that badly? Aren't they worried about running out of rabbits to catch later?"

The cyclist quickly moved to the side to prevent the dilapidated building from collapsing.

Just then, the person in the back seat suddenly said:

"No, something's wrong. Stop."

"What's wrong, Brother Wen?"

The cyclist stopped the bike.

Wen Ge in the back seat had already rushed to the large pit on the side and looked at it carefully. "There weren't these pits when we passed by here this morning."

"I have one too, it's a huge crater, what caused it?"

The others also noticed something was wrong.

"Holy crap, what are those footprints? How come they're so big?!"

Another person exclaimed in surprise.

The group was instantly drawn to the attention of the others.

"It looks a bit like a pig..."

"Does this look like a tiger? Or a bear?"

One person couldn't resist stretching out their foot to compare, but neither foot could fill the footprints on the ground.

The group gasped and grimaced.

"It can't still be here, can it?"

One person shuddered.

If they were to run into each other, they would be treated like snacks.

"You're overthinking it. If you were going to make a move, you would have done it already. Besides, these footprints might have been left by some awakened being."

"We walk this way every day. If there really was such a huge ferocious beast, we couldn't possibly not have sensed it at all."

Brother Wen was noticeably more composed. He picked up a few more strips of cloth from the ground and, based on his experience, judged:

"It looks like there was a battle here before. I wonder if it was a battle between awakened teams or if there's something really special hidden here."

"fighting?"

As if they had triggered some keyword, their eyes lit up instantly.

"Doesn't that mean there might be some good stuff left here?"

As a scavenger team, this is exactly the kind of thing they do.

Follow the trail of the powerful group, and after they leave, go up and scavenge the leftovers.

What many Awakened squads might disdain is likely just the cost of ten or fifteen days' worth of food for them.

If they're lucky, they might even make a fortune, enough to live a carefree life for a while.

"Even if we don't find anything, with such a huge fire, there must be something burned to death inside, which could be worth some money."

Determined not to leave empty-handed, the group began searching the surrounding area inch by inch.

Soon, some people nervously approached the abandoned building.

With a quick scan honed over many years, he noticed an unusual reflective spot in the ruins.

He ran over quickly and scooped it up.

It was a small metal object that I picked up, and it was even still a little warm.

"What is this? It looks like there are words on it."

The man blew off the ash, turned the item over, and saw that one side was carved with a blade of grass, and the other side had some words carved on it.

He subconsciously read it aloud: "Level 2 Awakened One... Diao Zimin..."

"Wow!"

Realizing what he had said, the man's hand trembled violently, as if he had picked up a red-hot piece of iron and almost threw it away.

This reaction immediately attracted the attention of the other three.

"What's up? Did you find something good?"

After the three learned what had happened, several more exclamations rang out.

"Wow!"

"Fuck you!"

"My God!"

"It's an Awakened One's badge!"

The group exchanged glances, their minds beginning to waver. "Should we continue searching?"

The Level 2 Awakeners were likely already dead here. They suddenly felt a chill in the air, as if something might jump out at any moment.

"Why don't you look for it!"

Brother Wen was very excited, "If we can find one, maybe we can find a second! If we can figure out what happened here, this information can be exchanged for at least... at least a few hundred points from Old Man Mi."

"Several hundred points!"

The fear in their eyes was instantly suppressed by greed.

The men gritted their teeth and said, "Let's do it! Then let's keep searching..."

An hour later, inside the inner city guard building.

"What? The entire behemoth squad was wiped out more than 20 kilometers outside the city?"

"Send a team of investigators to investigate and find out what the cause is."

"If it's a life-or-death feud between squads, then we don't need to worry about it. But if there's something sinister lurking nearby, then have those squads find it!"

"Yes……"
