Chapter 169: Pig Officer?
Chapter 169: Pig Officer?
The reason Shao Weiguo frowned was simple. It was not because of the appearance of the Pig Beasts, nor was it because the Pig Beasts were difficult to deal with, but because of the red cloth strips tied around the necks of the Fierce Beasts.
If only one Pig Beast had this kind of red cloth strip around its neck, Shao Weiguo could have classified it as an accidental phenomenon, assuming that this Pig Beast had somehow gotten the cloth strip tangled around it somewhere. But the problem now was that all sixty-three Pig Beasts had this kind of cloth strip tied around their necks. Could this still be an accidental phenomenon?
What shocked Shao Weiguo even more were the knots tied on these red cloth strips…
Yes, they were knots, simple bowknots.
Alright, Shao Weiguo admitted that even if there really was a one-in-trillion chance that these Pig Beasts had all accidentally gotten tangled in red cloth strips, could this bowknot have formed while they were randomly tangling? Isn’t that fucking nonsense? Anyone who wasn’t an idiot would understand that this was tied by a human.
What Shao Weiguo was struggling with was this very point. He could not imagine that someone would tie red cloth strips onto this group of Third Stage Fierce Beasts. This… this… this was simply impossible. Based on his understanding of Pig Beasts, with their savage nature, as soon as they saw humans or other Fierce Beasts approaching them, they would immediately unleash a barrage of Form Skills and start fighting fiercely. Even Shao Weiguo was alarmed by their savage charges when facing these Pig Beasts.
“Tied by a human?” Shao Weiguo felt his brain was not quite working properly.
A gust of wind blew, fluttering a white cloth strip attached to the red cloth strip. A line of large characters written with a brush fluttered in the wind, unfolding from time to time to clearly reveal what was written on it. This made Shao Weiguo, who was flying in the air, almost lose his stability after seeing these words, nearly falling down.
“Fuck!”
Shao Weiguo, who had always maintained an elegant demeanor, viciously spat out this word most commonly used by people. This gave the five Super Warriors who had just gathered around an illusion that they might have heard wrong. Even they felt it was incredible; what could have made their captain shout out a curse without caring about his image?
Only Shao Weiguo felt a sense of sorrow in his heart: “Fuck, this isn’t how you play with people!”
On the cloth strip fluttering in the wind, it was clearly written: These pigs are raised by me, these pigs are herded by me; if you want to eat this meat, leave the money for buying meat.
“What the hell, has this world gone crazy?” Shao Weiguo wailed, feeling that this matter was too absurd. This group of Pig Beasts actually had an owner, and from the text, it was human property. Just thinking about this, Shao Weiguo’s forty-year-old mind couldn’t turn around. What the hell was all this?
Shao Weiguo’s expression was changing, but the Pig Beasts below didn’t care about this. Grunting, they fired randomly again.
Light formed a net in the air, and energy rumbled in the explosions. Shao Weiguo, who was immersed in the shocking scene, had no time to dodge. He was then enveloped by the light. Amidst the explosions, the pitiful Shao Weiguo screamed under the rampage of energy. The elegant cyber police image he had just maintained was completely shattered.
However, as a Level Five Super Warrior, Shao Weiguo’s defense was not something Third Stage Pig Beasts could break.
After a round of light, Shao Weiguo’s hair looked like a chicken coop. His once beautiful black small leather jacket had some charred ashes hanging on it. The pants on his lower body were tattered, vaguely revealing his red underwear. In particular, Shao Weiguo’s face was pitch black, making him look even more like a beggar than a beggar.
The five Super Warriors first looked doubtful, then looked at each other, understanding immediately. They then revealed admiring looks: “The Captain is indeed the Captain. At a time like this, he still doesn’t forget to teach us by example to bravely face the Fierce Beasts.”
Shao Weiguo had an impulse to vomit blood. Now his anger rose. His right hand quickly underwent Fierce Beast transformation. In a moment, it evolved into a hand covered in scales with sharp claws.
Only now, after calming down, did the five Super Warriors, who had just been in a sorry state, discover the difference in the Pig Beasts.
“Look quickly, there are words on these Pig Beasts. ‘These pigs are raised by me, these pigs are herded by me; if you want to eat this meat, leave the money for buying meat.’ Hahahaha, that’s so funny, this person is really talented.” A Super Warrior who discovered it first couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Being only in his twenties, he didn’t hold back anything.
Reminded by this Super Warrior, everyone finally noticed this and exclaimed, “There really are words!”
Shao Weiguo shook his head helplessly. These people were still too young, acting impulsively and not being steady. He really didn’t know what Old Guo was thinking to choose them to be transformed into Gene Warriors. With their clumsy ways, he wondered if they could handle the city’s security work.
Actually, for people who have undergone Fierce Beast Genetic Modification, there are many different names. For example, the country in the Grand Rear calls them Super Warriors, while here they are called Gene Warriors. In some small Settlements, they are called “Beastmen,” and some call them Fierce Beast Warriors. In short, there are all kinds of names, but there is no need to distinguish between them, because they all refer to people who have been transformed by Fierce Beast genes.
Seeing the appearance of this Level Five Super Warrior, Zhou Liming did not expect the other party to be made so miserable by the Pig Beasts, and he couldn’t help but smile.
Then, seeing the other party fly into a rage out of humiliation, with that beast-transformed arm, the strength displayed by a Level Five Super Warrior was not something Third Stage Pig Beasts could withstand. Taming them had taken a lot of effort, but taming and killing them were two completely different things.
With Zhou Liming’s ability, killing these sixty-three Pig Beasts would only take a few minutes.
So Zhou Liming knew that if he didn’t want the Pig Beasts he had worked hard to tame to be destroyed, it was time for him to appear.
Jumping down from the building, folding his wings, and putting on a set of ordinary clothes, Zhou Liming walked out, stepping on the soft soil of the fields. This made Zhou Liming, who had never been in contact with such things, feel a sense of novelty. Farming… this word was a distant existence for children in the city. Perhaps many people would never come into contact with farming in their entire lives.
“Hey, what do you think you are doing?”
Zhou Liming shouted bluntly, then ran in the fields, using the speed of an ordinary person, of course.
Shao Weiguo, who was originally prepared to blast these Pig Beasts into pieces, forcefully held back after hearing this shout. He looked over and saw a young man, or perhaps it was more appropriate to call him a youth? Seeing the other party running over with an angry look on his face, Shao Weiguo seemed to think of something, but then felt it was too absurd.
Zhou Liming’s shout not only made Shao Weiguo stop, but the others were also stunned, because the group of Pig Beasts below actually stopped their random shooting under this young man’s voice. Grunting, they affectionately welcomed this young man.
“You want to kill my pigs?”
Zhou Liming climbed onto the back of a Pig Beast, staring at Shao Weiguo with both eyes. In his heart, he was about to faint from laughter. The development of things seemed to be becoming interesting.
The people who heard Zhou Liming’s words almost had their jaws drop to the ground. This was the most bizarre thing they had ever heard or seen.
A young Super Warrior pointed at the group of Pig Beasts below, laughed loudly, and said, “Those are your pigs below? Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. Someone still raises pigs nowadays?” But he only laughed for a moment before stopping immediately, because he realized he had just said a bunch of nonsense. If they weren’t raised by someone, with him being in the Pig Beast group, wouldn’t he have been torn to shreds by the Pig Beasts?
It was an incredible scene; someone was actually inside a group of Fierce Beasts. These were Pig Beasts, known for their savage tempers and ferocity.
For the first time, Shao Weiguo felt that the world had truly gone crazy. Such an absurd and impossible thing, such a bizarre thing, was happening right before his eyes. Especially this young man’s angry question made him feel like he didn’t know how to answer. “You want to kill my pigs?” Anyone who didn’t know better would think he wanted to kill ordinary meat pigs from over half a year ago.
Alright, Shao Weiguo admitted that the world was starting to go crazy. Otherwise, why would someone call terrifying Pig Beasts “pigs”?
Actually, Shao Weiguo and the others were just confused. Zhou Liming had preconceived the idea, combined with the shock that the Pig Beasts had an owner, which made them overlook things. They seemed to forget that it was this group of Pig Beasts that wanted to destroy the crops in the fields, and they were defending their survival line.
“Oh, of course not. We just wanted to stop them from coming over and destroying our grain.”
Shao Weiguo answered hurriedly, but after he spoke, he realized, why did he have to answer like that? Thinking of the grain, the astute Shao Weiguo finally woke up from his confused state. His face instantly turned as gloomy as the weather in December, staring dead at Zhou Liming.
What was Shao Weiguo’s status? He was one of the three Fifth Stage Gene Warriors in the entire city. He controlled a whole squadron of seventy subordinates with the title of Protector, responsible for the safety of the entire city’s outskirts. He was also one of the three most powerful people in the city, representing the combination of power and strength. It could be said that for this city to return to human hands, he was one of the three founders.
With such an identity, in the eyes of hundreds of thousands of people, he was glorious, simply a god-like existence, respectfully called Captain.
But just now, Shao Weiguo felt his tall image collapse with a crash. This damn group of Pig Beasts had actually made him so miserable. Every time he thought about it, he felt a surge of annoyance. What troubled him even more now was that these Pig Beasts actually had an owner, and a person had popped up out of nowhere, saying that these Pig Beasts were raised by him?
Shao Weiguo stared coldly at Zhou Liming, trying to discover something from him, but to his disappointment, Zhou Liming was very ordinary, without a trace of the fluctuation of a Gene Warrior, just like an ordinary person.
“Could he be a psychic capable of controlling Fierce Beasts?”
This sudden thought made Shao Weiguo stare at Zhou Liming as if he had discovered a treasure, his eyes shining.
