Chapter 97: 『Berserk Transformation』

The reason the Sky Viper organization is wanted globally is, naturally, because of the inhumane, anti-human incidents they have committed one after another.

Global human trafficking chains, the extermination of African tribes, arms smuggling, inciting regional conflicts, not to mention drug trafficking, which is "daily routine" for them.

This big shot is considered the "Fourth Person" of Sky Viper, and is precisely the high-level executive in charge of energy, codenamed "Taotie."

Of course, her personal ability is not to be underestimated; before joining Sky Viper, she was an energy tycoon in the Eastern Europe region. She once manufactured conflicts between several Eastern European countries and the Middle East and Africa, leading to an energy supply crisis, and then sold her hoarded supplies at high prices to obtain huge profits.

Even the small countries in that area didn't dare to offend her; after all, no one wanted to be forced to burn firewood in a fireplace to keep warm in the middle of winter.

This woman is also ruthless enough; for the sake of this business, she didn't even fear the Polar Bear. She has no idea how much blood she has stained her hands with, and later, after being jointly wanted by more than a dozen countries, she suddenly disappeared.

When Tan Ziyan and his team received the news, it was that this woman was hiding in Siberia and intended to enter the country through the border line, then flee to the side of the Koreans.

During that mission, their special operations team dispatched two units, but they failed to catch the person and were even set up, almost clashing with the Polar Bear's army. Fortunately, the higher-ups on both sides made contact in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

And now, she has actually appeared here, which shows Sky Viper's determination to win the Coal Mine.

"About two hundred people; judging from their posture and habits, they should all be formally trained mercenaries. Captain, this is a tough nut to crack; should we contact Boss Liu's side first?"

The people sent out to keep watch returned one after another, and the final information was summarized to Tan Ziyan.

They were about two kilometers away from that side, not daring to get too close, otherwise, it would be easy to be discovered.

Having grasped the specific information, the expression on Tan Ziyan's camouflage-painted face was grave. "Wait a little longer; this group of people won't be that simple. You four, extend the reconnaissance range another five kilometers outward, and pay special attention to the roadside along the highway."

"Note, unless absolutely necessary, you must not use remote communication."

The five team members dispersed immediately, having no objections to the Captain's decision.

In the current situation, any unnatural signal band is very obvious. They can communicate wirelessly, and Sky Viper can too. With the organization carrying out such a large operation, it is highly likely they also have monitoring equipment.

Radio silence is almost a necessary measure before every formal operation; once exposed, the enemy running away is a small matter, but being counter-killed would be a real injustice.

And Liu Mu, whom they thought was still unaware, actually already knew where Sky Viper was stationed.

After Niu Boyi eavesdropped on a group of Mountain Rats for a while, he went into the mountains.

Wandering in the mountains for a day and a night, relying on his powerful sense of smell and hearing, he figured out the Sky Viper stationing points in both directions.

On the way back, thinking of his poor Master eating Mountain Rat meat every day, which was both fibrous and tough, he also hunted two Mutated Sika Deer.

It was just that the head chef in charge of the kitchen felt his scalp tingle when he saw the spots on the deer's fur had turned into pustules.

Although he was a bit afraid of Niu Boyi, he still rubbed his hands and asked cautiously, "Niu Ge, is this really not poisonous? Don't ruin the Boss's health."

Niu Boyi was originally a bit angry, but thinking that the other party was doing it for his Master's sake, and that these humans were inherently timid and weak, he kindly helped out.

He stepped on the two-meter-long deer with his front paws and bit the skin on its neck with his sharp teeth; with a *rip* sound, he tore off half the deer hide, revealing the fresh, pink flesh inside.

This time, the head chef was brought by Liu Mu from the Haicheng Barrier; according to his own resume, he was the head chef of the largest state guesthouse in Haicheng before the disaster, managing over thirty cooks at the time, which could be said to be both glorious and capable.

Nowadays, there were only four people in the kitchen including him, and they were all watching from the side at this moment.

Niu Boyi's operation made the few people swallow their saliva, but they still didn't dare to step forward.

The head chef, Wang Dashe, however, saw the clue and hurriedly shouted, "Quick, bring the extra-large Raincoat, use it as a pad."

Seeing the pustules on the torn skin burst and emit white smoke when they touched the mud, he understood Niu Boyi's meaning.

Once the item was brought, he helped unfold it and said to Niu Boyi with a smile, "Niu Ge, I must trouble you to tear off the rest of the skin too; us ordinary people are afraid we can't handle this venom."

As a chef, he had handled plenty of poisonous ingredients; common ones like pufferfish, venomous snakes, and mushrooms were all things he had worked with.

It was precisely because of this that, while letting the others help Niu Boyi, he snuck back to his room to find an empty ceramic wine bottle to collect some of the pus from the deer hide.

"Uncle Wang, what are you doing with that thing? It's disgusting."

Wang Dashe looked up at Gouzi, who was equally confused, and chuckled, "To us, this is poison, but when those people who have designs on our town come, we'll smear it on our weapons. One stab, one death!"

This made the other three shiver, thinking this head chef was not to be trifled with. Don't let him add some "seasoning" to their food if they ever make a mistake—dangerous!

But the next second, they saw Niu Boyi flip over all the torn skins, gesturing with his front paw for Wang Dashe to continue, while standing guard.

This appearance was just like guarding a meat bone. Wang Dashe had raised a large Golden Retriever at home before; it was a pity that during the disaster, the Golden Retriever was burned while saving his son, carrying the seven-year-old child into the Air Raid Shelter, but the injuries were too severe, and it couldn't survive with their family.

Because of this, he had some understanding of dog body language and immediately asked, "Niu Ge, do you also want a portion of this poison?"

Niu Boyi opened his large mouth, revealing a lewd grin.

This amused the few people, making them admire his cleverness even more.

Niu Boyi let Wang Dashe put the sealed porcelain bottle into the pocket of his large Raincoat, and for once, rubbed his chin against the sturdy head chef's head before holding his head high and leaving the building used as the "canteen."

Wang Dashe stroked his own head, his scalp tight, still feeling lingering fear, "Sigh, this Gouzi is actually quite affectionate, just a bit too big."

Not just the skin, he also had to throw away the internal organs of the Mutated Sika Deer, especially the liver and gallbladder; the pustules on the skin were mostly related to these two organs.

When Niu Boyi found Liu Mu, she was staring at the soldiers and the three Mutated Humans training. "Look at you all! The soldiers are ordinary humans, and you are Mutated Humans, yet your physical fitness is even worse than theirs. It's truly shameful!"

The soldiers were originally a bit fearful of the three Mutated Humans, after all, they had witnessed Liu Mu's terrifying physical fitness. But after a day of training, they realized that not everyone was Liu Mu; the individual differences among Mutated Humans were also huge.

Yang Pingxi originally wanted to argue a few words, but he was afraid that Liu Mu would extend his training time later, making him unable to go see his sister, so he silently shut his mouth.

Of course, Yang Mang's stamina was sufficient, but he only had stamina and no technique at all; when sparring with a few soldiers who were good at combat, he actually lost...

With Liu Mu watching from the side, and having suffered a big loss at her hands the previous two days, he didn't dare to use his Berserk state. Besides, he would need to consume a large amount of food after going Berserk; forget it, he was already so poor he had eaten next month's food quota.

Endure it, train it, wait for it!

Yang Mang's skill was given a new name by Liu Mu, called "Berserk Transformation"... He strongly opposed this name, but was suppressed by a playful look from Liu Mu.
