My cells devour all worlds.

"They're here..."

Lu Sheng had already returned to his original appearance and gone back to his courtyard.

Upon hearing the sound, Lu Sheng walked to the courtyard gate and opened it.

The first thing you see is a bread truck that is severely deformed.

Several parts of the front and body of the car were damaged, and one of the doors was dented in a large section.

The thick steel plate welded on the outside seemed to offer no protection whatsoever, twisting and deforming along with the frame.

The car was so crowded that the roof was arched high, and none of the A, B, C, or D pillars were intact.

I don't know what happened.

The car was crammed with three people, all covered in dust and blood, clearly having just returned from the wasteland.

Lu Sheng had a good memory, and when he saw one of the dark-skinned men, he roughly recognized which squad the newcomers belonged to—the Black Iron Squad.

A squad of Level 1 Awakened in the Southern District.

Apart from the captain, who is an Awakened, the rest are ordinary people.

This configuration is very common in settlements.

Not everyone can find like-minded teammates.

Some trained ordinary people, equipped with firearms, possess combat power comparable to that of a typical Level 1 Awakened.

After all, even a Level 1 Awakened One can only be considered a ferocious beast.

These ordinary people don't have the privileges of the awakened ones; if they want to enter the inner city, they have to pay to buy a place.

The only way to gain entry into the inner city is to join the ranks of an awakened individual based on your own strength.

Some awakened individuals will also go to the outer city to select suitable people as teammates.

It can be considered a mutually beneficial arrangement for both parties.

Lu Sheng withdrew his gaze and asked, "You're looking for me? Is there something you need to sell?"

"That's right, I heard from Wang Tao that you, Captain Lu, are collecting ferocious beasts here."

The dark-skinned man responded.

Immediately, the three of them kicked open the car door and crawled out from the side where the damage was less severe.

"Go and get that thing out so Captain Lu can take a look."

The dark-skinned man spoke to the two men, then came up to Lu Sheng, extended his hand, and put on a smile.

"Hello Captain Lu, my name is Mu Ba, captain of the Black Iron Squad."

He had heard when he arrived that the other side's team had just been formed and already had three Awakened, including a Purifier.

No wonder they have the money to buy ferocious beasts.

Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating.

A hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

"Hello, Lu Sheng, captain of the Green Deer Squad."

Lu Sheng shook hands with him.

Just then, the two men who went to the back of the car to get something shouted, "Captain, the trunk is stuck, we can't open it!"

As they were talking, they heard the sound of the door being kicked a few times.

Muba gave an awkward smile. "Captain Lu, please wait a moment."

After saying that, Muba quickly went to the back of the car, "You guys move aside, let me elbow it."

As he spoke, Muba's skin darkened further, and his arms gradually gleamed with a metallic sheen.

He raised his hand and elbowed the trunk several times.

bang bang bang-

The trunk was dented and deformed again.

Thankfully, it can finally be opened.

Then, Muba opened the trunk and pulled out a gray-black animal.

Lu Sheng noticed the gazes of those around him who had heard the commotion, so he opened the courtyard gate. "Let's come in and talk."

Not long after.

yard.

Lu Sheng stared at the strange creature on the ground, which resembled neither a cow nor a pig, and fell into deep thought.

Not only does it look strange, but it is also the size of a typical small dog, probably only about ten kilograms.

"What kind of ferocious beast is this? It's so small!"

Lu Sheng looked at Muba.

Different worlds have different creatures, so his previous experience cannot be applied to this world.

Lu Sheng could only let Liu Peng and Wang Hu collect as much as possible.

"This is a baby bull. Captain Lu, don't let its size fool you, this beast is incredibly powerful, definitely a level two ferocious beast."

Seemingly afraid that Lu Sheng would misunderstand, Mu Ba quickly explained:

"Our team initially thought it was just an ordinary wild animal, but when we fired a shot, it only grazed its skin."

"Then it suddenly became bigger than our car and started ramming us. The terrible state of our car was all thanks to it."

"If it hadn't crashed into us so suddenly that we hadn't found an opportunity to shove a gun into its mouth, our Black Iron Squad would have been disbanded because of it."

"Even so, we lost two brothers."

At this point, Muba sighed, a hint of sorrow appearing on his face.

Do level-two ferocious beasts also have the ability to grow larger?

Lu Sheng became interested. He squatted down, grabbed one of the little bull's legs, and squeezed it hard.

He didn't completely believe Muba's words. Although the little bull was dead, if it was really a level 2 ferocious beast, he could still see something special about it.

Feeling the feedback from his hands, Lu Sheng was already mostly convinced.

It's hard to say whether the muscles are dead, but the bone hardness is extraordinary.

If it truly has the ability to grow larger, then he will definitely take it.

Lu Sheng didn't show it, and calmly asked, "How much are you planning to sell it for?"

"Five thousand, only five thousand points."

Muba looked pained, as if Lu Sheng had gotten a great deal.

He sighed again, "We need to replace our car this time, and the medical expenses for our brothers will be quite high. We haven't earned a single penny..."

Lu Sheng ignored the other party's complaints, saying, "I can only give half."

"What? Half?!"

Muba's eyes widened, and he almost jumped up on the spot.

He shook his head frantically: "No, this is too little, Captain Lu, this is a level two ferocious beast, and it has special abilities."

"And who knows, eating it might grant me that ability, even though the probability is very small, but what if it happens?"

Lu Sheng remained unmoved. "Do you even believe that yourself?"

Lu Sheng had heard Muba's second half of his sentence more than once.

He believed that it was deliberately released by others in order to sell the meat of the ferocious beast.

The price of ferocious beast meat is actually not high. Even the third-level purified meat only costs a few hundred points per kilogram, and not many people are willing to buy it.

With that money, one could eat countless low-level beast meats.

What truly makes a ferocious beast valuable are its skin, teeth, horns, or special parts like bones.

Meat is actually not very useful, except for its higher energy content.

Lu Sheng thought the idea that eating meat would give him a chance to gain abilities was nonsense. If that were true, what would his abilities be worth?

"...I definitely believe it."

Despite saying that, Muba's tone softened, "Half is really too low, Captain Lu. Our team is in a terrible state. We lost the vehicle, and our team members were also killed..."

"..."

Lu Sheng's lips twitched, but he didn't soften his stance. "If you believe me, then keep it for yourself. I can only give you half. If that's not enough, you can try looking for someone else."

If the other party sells it themselves, the price will probably be around that.

Who would buy unpurified meat from a level-two ferocious beast? But if you have to find a purifier to purify it, they'll take a cut, at least 30%.

If something that's already small is sucked up like this, there's basically nothing left.

The little bull doesn't look particularly special, and its skin is small, so it probably won't fetch a high price.

Otherwise, the other party wouldn't have come here.

"well……"

Muba sighed deeply, his face contorted with conflict. After a long pause, he finally made a difficult decision: "Alright then, half it is. I can't drag this out any longer."

After the money and goods were settled, Muba led his two teammates out.

Halfway there, two team members couldn't help but squeeze next to Muba, their faces full of admiration.

They lowered their voices and winked at each other:

"Captain, you're incredibly patient. I almost agreed for you. This captain is offering a much higher price than the others."

"Of course, otherwise why would I be the captain?"

"Captain, when did we lose two team members?"

"You know nothing! A broken bone isn't considered a fracture? This Captain Lu is definitely a newbie. We'll sell him out again next time. Remember, don't go after that shrew anymore. If you dare to go, I'll kick you..."

"..."

Lu Sheng, who was in the courtyard, heard everything clearly. It seemed he could lower his guard a little more next time.

Lu Sheng doesn't really mind if the price is a bit higher, as long as the product is fine.

Just as Lu Sheng was about to take the little bull back to his room, he suddenly heard a noise and turned his head to look...
