Chapter 10 City Lord, I've succeeded!
Shi Yuan refused the monkey's request.
Are you kidding me? You're the only capable person I have right now. If you go off to grow black melons, who will help me manage the city?
"The city can't function without you. I think we should pick a few refugees with elderly parents and young children to grow the black melon variety."
The clever monkey understood Shi Yuan's intentions.
Refugees with family ties are less likely to leave and are more obedient.
"Of course, whether the black melon variety can be preserved and reproduced naturally requires your full supervision, as this is related to our future food source."
The clever monkey nodded emphatically, patting his chest to assure him, "Rest assured, City Lord, I will take this matter very seriously and will absolutely not allow any problems to arise during the cultivation of the Black Melon Miracle Seed!"
It seems that when people have a certain obsession, they become more energetic in their work.
After weighing the options, Shi Yuan took out a strengthening potion from the iron box.
The clever monkey peered through the firelight at the potion in Shi Yuan's hand, a look of confusion on its face: "City Lord, what is this?"
"The enhancement drug can unlock the human gene lock after consumption, instantly transforming the individual into a superhuman."
The clever monkey looked at Shi Yuan in surprise.
First, there was the Black Melon Rare Seed, then the Enhancement Potion. Just who is this guy?
Could it be that Shi Yuan's lightning power was obtained by taking this kind of potion?
"The city's defenses are too weak. I'm planning to make you a superhuman, but I don't know if you're willing?"
Shi Yuan scrutinized the monkey, as if questioning it, but more like tempting it.
"Yes! Yes! The clever monkey is willing to become a superhuman!"
What a joke! Achieving extraordinary success is the goal that countless ordinary people aspire to.
In this wasteland where the strong prey on the weak, strength determines one's voice, the distribution of resources, and even life and death!
What's more, it's about becoming a superhuman among the extraordinary professions!
It doesn't require the corrupt souls of polluters to fall into depravity, nor the devout fanaticism of those favored by God. It is recognized as the safest and most normal extraordinary profession!
"Aren't you afraid I might have given you poison?"
Shi Yuan chuckled and teased.
The clever monkey shook its head like a rattle-drum: "Don't worry, the city lord can kill me easily, and the city lord isn't a bad person."
"Can't I be a bad person?"
The clever monkey looked speechless: "If you were a bad guy, you wouldn't have killed Old Jones to save those refugees."
"Stop talking nonsense, drink this potion, and let me see what kind of abilities you can awaken."
"yes!"
The monkey took the enhancement potion filled with yellow liquid with both hands, and its breathing began to become rapid.
Without the slightest hesitation, he pulled out the stopper, tilted his head back, and poured the entire vial of medicine down his throat.
The next second, violent energy exploded within the monkey's body.
The violent reaction of the energy burst caused the monkey to let out a shrill scream.
Shi Yuan sat on the sofa and watched the entire process of the monkey's transformation.
At this moment, the monkey had uncontrollably fallen to his knees.
His hands gripped the cold floor tiles tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, and traces of blood began to seep from between his fingers.
His originally ashen and gloomy face gradually became twisted and ferocious due to the excruciating pain.
"The reaction during this process seemed rather intense."
About five minutes later, the transformation finally ended.
The clever monkey slowly got up and looked blankly at his hands.
In the firelight, his palms shimmered with a faint, glistening sheen.
Immediately afterwards, the water element in the air began to stir.
A crystal-clear drop of water condensed on his fingertip without warning and floated in mid-air.
Shi Yuan looked at the suspended water droplet with some surprise.
The ability to manipulate water elements?
He subconsciously gathered a ball of electricity from his fingertips and shot it toward the monkey.
The clever monkey was startled and panicked, dodging the attack. The lightning bolt shot into the wall, leaving a charred hole.
"good!"
Not only did they awaken the ability to control the water element, but their physical constitution was also comprehensively improved.
"Lord, what...what are you doing?"
The clever monkey looked at Shi Yuan in fear, worried that he hadn't performed well enough and had done something wrong.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a test of your physical fitness. The results are pretty good. In the future, when the city is short of water, you will be the biggest reservoir."
The clever monkey then realized what was happening and became incredibly excited: "City...City Lord, I really did it! I think I can control the water element in the air! I've really become a superhuman!"
He was so happy he almost cried.
Because in this wasteland world where every day is uncertain, we finally have the means to survive!
"Alright, alright, I don't want to hear those cheesy words. Focus on getting to know your own power. There are still many things for you to do."
"Rest assured, City Lord, Jinghou will do his utmost! He will never let you down!"
Forget about flattery, let's talk about your abilities first.
"I?"
Just as Shi Yuan was about to analyze the situation, a sound like muffled thunder resounded throughout the city, frightening the refugees and throwing Jones's army into a panic.
"It's a monster! A monster is coming!"
The monkey, having just awakened, had not yet shifted from a human mindset, and his face turned deathly pale, his legs trembling uncontrollably.
That was a fear stemming from the body's instincts.
"Let's go out and take a look."
Shi Yuan's expression turned cold, and he strode towards the exit of the Administration Bureau.
Seeing this, the clever monkey couldn't help but berate himself: "Fool! You're a superhuman now, what are you afraid of, strange beasts?!"
The two rushed to the city wall border.
A strong, pungent, and putrid odor wafted towards us along with the biting cold wind.
In the distance, two enormous monsters, exuding a ferocious aura, were steadily approaching the city.
Leading the pack was a Tier 1 alien beast, the Rotten Fur Wolf.
Its entire body was covered in clumps of rotten, grayish-black stiff fur, and its wolf eyes were scarlet and bloodthirsty.
These kinds of strange beasts are good at pouncing and killing at lightning speed.
The fangs and claws are contaminated with putrefactive toxins. Once scratched or bitten, the wound will quickly rot and fester, making it difficult to heal.
Following behind the wild wolf was the Rock-Splitter Giant Lizard.
Also a Tier 1 beast, its body was as thick as a rock, and its surface was covered with thick, rough, grayish-brown scales.
It is said that these scales are so tough that even bullets have difficulty penetrating them.
"Could they be back for revenge?"
When the Scavengers went outside the city to retrieve the Thunder Lizard's carcass, their leader, Hong Yan, explained to them the information about the other two alien beasts that had attacked the city.
These are the two right in front of us.
Upon seeing the ferocious beast, the clever monkey instinctively moved closer to Shi Yuan's back.
Although he had become a superhuman, the clever monkey was still somewhat intimidated by the size of the strange beasts.
These strange beasts have a constitution different from ordinary people; they have thick blood, high defense, and extremely tenacious vitality.
It is extremely difficult for a superhuman to kill a monster on their own.
In the past, when encountering alien beasts, Old Jones would face them alone, requiring them to provide fire support from the rear, only then would there be a chance to kill the alien beasts.
When they encountered a Tier 2 alien beast, Old Jones didn't hesitate and fled with his loved ones, leaving those who couldn't escape to become food for the beast.
"You stay and guard the city walls, I'll deal with these two strange beasts."
After saying that, Shi Yuan left the city defenses without looking back, and quickly arrived at the battlefield, dragging the electric current with him.
Unlike the others who were filled with fear, Shi Yuan was unusually excited: "These strange beasts are all my recycling points!"
