Chapter 476: Polite And Generous ( 1 )
As soon as he left the room, Xiao Qi heard his aunt's relatives arguing with each other while his aunt shouted and cried anxiously.
He knew that by giving the supplies to his aunt like this, those relatives would take them away, and his aunt would get nothing. But to force his aunt to see the reality, he had to harden his heart and let her face the cruelty of her husband's family.
He took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and ate it while walking out of the compound. The bittersweet taste spread in his mouth, dispersing some of his heavy mood.
Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath before he opened them again. After he controlled his emotions, he walked to the marketplace with a smile on his face as if nothing had happened.
Meanwhile, at the fourth ring area, Fu Guai was walking around the base while observing the situation. After he regained his consciousness, he knew that he was no longer a complete human.
When he saw the tender children, a part of him had the urge to take a bite of their flesh and drink their blood. His hunger would increase when he smelled the scent of human and animal blood.
He thought that he had been injected with the zombie virus in the facility, but judging from the reaction of his primordial instinct, he was sure that, besides the zombie virus, the facility must have altered his DNA and combined it with another species' DNA.
As for what type of species it was, he had no idea. Right now, he could only use his will to control his primordial instinct. He continued to walk until he reached the west gate.
When the guard saw him leaving the base, one of them stopped him and said, "Comrade, the situation is dangerous outside. No one is allowed to go out alone."
Hearing this, Fu Guai took out his necklace and showed the guard the small metal plate.
After seeing the plate, the guard lowered his hand and said, "So, it is Comrade Fu. Since you are a member of the Phantom Team, you can go out. But make sure to stay safe."
Fu Guai nodded. Thinking about what Pei Yixie told him before he left the house, he took out a handful of caramel candies from his pocket and shoved them into the guard's hands.
Without waiting for the guard to respond, he turned and walked out of the base.
Standing at the gate, the guard was stunned. Holding a handful of caramel candies, he muttered to himself, "Are all of the Phantom Team members so generous?"
The last time, they had received biscuits and water from Xiao Qi whenever the team left the base for a mission. Now, a new member had given him so many candies just because he reminded him to be careful.
It seemed that the rumors about them being arrogant and ruthless were false.
Not knowing what the guard was thinking, Fu Guai continued walking down the road with large strides. With his current level, he would not feel tired even if he walked for three days without a break.
Half an hour later, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and raised his head. He took several sniffs in the air before he suddenly ran to the left.
The rusty iron scent in the air grew thicker as time passed by. Before he reached the source of the scent, he heard the sound of a loud explosion in the distance.
Boom!
Narrowing his eyes, he increased his speed and spread his palm. The next moment, long, sharp silver nails appeared on his fingertips.
Even from a distance, he could see a large bird flying down at a fast speed. Its sharp beak and talons glistened under the sun as it flew toward the group of people below.
"Dodge!" a man shouted when he saw the attack.
The men quickly leaped in several directions to avoid the attack. But a woman was too scared to move, and she could only stand there with a pale face.
Everyone thought that she would be a goner. But a moment before the sharp talons pierced the woman's body, a lean figure appeared in front of her.
Clank! Crash!
The giant eagle let out a high-pitched screech as one of its talons was cut off by Fu Guai. Warm, red blood splattered on the ground and on his body, making his blood boil with excitement as the rustic scent filled his sense of smell.
A silver glint flashed in his eyes for a moment. Then, he reached out and grabbed the giant eagle's feet. With a pull, he yanked the eagle down and slammed it hard onto the ground.
Boom!
Due to the force, the ground cracked and shook slightly. Wind and sand fly, creating a layer of dust cloud.
Tightening his grip on the giant eagle's feet, Fu Guai swung his arm left and right.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Everyone was stunned as they watched him continue slamming the giant eagle to the ground again and again. After a few minutes, several pits appeared in the cracked ground while the giant eagle lay motionless in a pool of blood.
Fu Guai breathed heavily as he controlled his bestial instinct to tear the eagle apart. He raised his hand and pierced the giant eagle's head with his sharp nail. Using both hands, he cracked open the eagle head and searched for something.
Seeing this, the woman who was sitting on the ground not far from him let out a scream in terror, "Ahhh!"
When Fu Guai pulled out a crystal core from the giant eagle's head, clarity returned to his eyes. He turned and met the terrified gaze of the woman.
"P-please spare my life…" she begged while crying.
Her pale face was stained with snot and tears, and her hair was in a mess, making her look like a madwoman. Standing beside the dead eagle, Fu Guai reached out his hand.
