"You're awake?"
Li Song reached out and touched Zerg Five's smooth head.
"Zzz—"
Zerg Five let out a happy chirp. Black smoke spewed out from the tiny hole on its head again. It gently nudged Li Song's hand with its head.
Its facial features clearly did not allow it to make too many expressions to show its emotions.
Black smoke was rising from its head, this was a sign of its emotions.
If the black smoke was filled with the smell of gunpowder, it would mean that a battle was coming.
If there was only a faint smell of gunpowder in the black smoke, it was a threat.
If the black smoke did not have any smell, it meant that it was happy.
At this moment, the injuries on Zerg Five's body had almost fully recovered, but the mechanical parts had not recovered yet. At this moment, it looked much more energetic.
Seeing Zerg Five like this, Li Song's mood naturally improved.
Bull Two was even more excited as it circled around Zerg Five.
Just like Bull Two, Zerg Five also retained some memories in the game. When its saw its comrade beside it, it got very happy. Black smoke started to rise from its head again.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
"Moo? Moo?"
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
"Moo? Moo?"
"Alright."
Li Song interrupted their reminiscing as he said: "Let's treat the mechanical parts first."
Bull Two naturally knew the severity of the matter. It would talk about the matters of the past later. It then squatted quietly at the side and waited.
With a light wave of his hand, the various metals placed in the warehouse were taken out by him and piled up on the ground—this was only a small portion.
That afternoon, he went to the metallurgy factory to buy these metals but the door was tightly shut. He made a few calls and finally bought them at twice the price.
He had spent almost all his savings accumulated. Now, he only had 200 experience points left, but he was not ready to use them yet.
"Eat."
"You'll recover faster if you eat."
Li Song picked up a metal and stuffed it into Zerg Five's mouth.
Crack! Crack!
The hard metal was soft like beans in Zerg Five's mouth. It made a crisp sound and went down its stomach.
Li Song, on the other hand, was focused on feeding. He stuffed pieces of metal into Zerg Five's mouthpart. In a short while, all the metal on the ground entered Zerg Five's stomach.
Although he did not calculate it carefully, the metal that Li Song took out this time was at least a few hundred kilograms. When added together, it was even bigger than Zerg Five's entire body. However, all of it was eaten. It was unknown how big Zerg Five's stomach was.
Buzz…
The temperature seemed to have instantly risen by quite a bit. Through Zerg Five's body, one could see a little fiery red light flickering in its chest.
Meanwhile, the black smoke on Zerg Five's head also rose. In an instant, quite a lot of it emerged, almost filling the entire house. Fortunately, Li Song was prepared and had already opened the windows on both sides to let it out.
Fortunately, the black smoke spread quickly enough and dispersed into the air. It did not take long before it dissipated.
Otherwise, someone might even call the fire alarm.
Soon, there was no more smoke coming out of Zerg Five's head and the temperature on its body gradually decreased before returning to normal.
Click! Click! Click!
Then, a series of metal doors opened.
On Zerg Five's body, the metal blocks that looked like small doors opened and metal arms extended out from them. There were all kinds of tools, screwdrivers, wrenches, welders, and even specially refined metals… There were all kinds of tools that Li Song had never seen before.
Immediately after, these arms started working on the body of Zerg Five.
All of a sudden, there was a series of banging sounds. It was light and fast, like a worker who was busy with work.
The metals that had been refined by Zerg Five were rapidly consumed.
Meanwhile, Zerg Five's mechanical body was also rapidly recovering during this process.
The eight legs glowed with a metallic light as the broken joints healed quickly. The black "engine oil"-like blood that leaked from them also recovered and was wiped clean.
The whole process only took five to six minutes, and Zerg Five's miserable appearance completely disappeared!
It immediately recovered to its peak state!
After the metal arms finished their work, they returned to the original position and closed the small mechanical doors.
"So cool!" Li Song praised from the bottom of his heart. The modification of Zerg Five's data was almost what he cared about the most. However, in the game, there was only a string of data representing "automatic repair". He could not see such a scene.
However, he was thinking further than that. With these mechanical arms… it seemed like they would never have to eat his cooking again.
In his team, besides being an important tank, Zerg Five also took care of a series of positions such as cooking, medical care, logistics support and so on.
He could be said to be a capitalist's favorite employee.
At this time, Zerg Five had already started chatting with Bull Two. Li Song naturally could not understand the conversation between the two beasts, but he could roughly guess it.
Seeing this scene, Li Song could not help but smile.
He felt much more relieved.
With these two Tamed Beasts, why would he need to worry about other things?
Moreover, with the appearance of Zerg Five, did that mean that his other companions were also in a corner of this world?
But thinking about it, he did not have to worry about them. It was better to worry about himself. In the wild, they would probably live better than him…
The faces of his elder brother and younger sister flashed across his mind.
Wait for me…
...
At the other end, not far from the Radiant Crystal district, in a room in a tall building, Chen Cheng was reporting to his direct superior.
"Yes."
"I lost him."
"He bought a lot of metals at the metallurgy factory on the west side of the city. There were many types of metals, and it seemed like he was in a hurry. The price was almost doubled, and he spent more than four million."
"We haven't been discovered. His anti-reconnaissance abilities aren't strong. He looks like an ordinary person."
"I can basically confirm that he is the 'first ranker'."
"I almost lost him in an alley. The speed he unleashed was something I've never seen before. It's almost not something a human can achieve. However, the informant confirmed that he had just returned home."
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Chengfeng nodded subconsciously, "Then don't alarm him for the time being. There will be others who will contact him in the future."
"Chief, I have something else to report to you." As he spoke, Chen Cheng's words were a little strange, "We were not the only ones following the 'first ranker'."
"What?" Zhao Chengfeng immediately sat up and his gaze turned serious, "Who is it? An overseas organization? A spy? Or is it another secret organization?"
"Don't act rashly…"
In an instant, all sorts of schemes flashed through Zhao Chengfeng's mind. Only a few people knew of the existence of the 'first ranker', and they had purposely not mentioned him to reduce people's attention on him. The Radiant Crystal district also had minimal guards stationed.
Who leaked it?
They had only just confirmed the identity of the 'first ranker' through accurate information, and the other party already knew? Could it be that the infiltration ability of this organization was so powerful?
For a moment, Zhao Chengfeng seemed to see a huge monster lurking in the darkness of Shanghai! He was going to uncover the mystery of this huge monster from this small detail! In the end, he would slowly unravel it!
The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became. There was even a trace of excitement in his heart. He could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
"Cough…" On the other end of the phone, Chen Cheng scratched his head awkwardly, "I've already arrested them…"
"What?!" Zhao Chengfeng almost jumped up, "What did you find out? Why are you so impulsive? Those two must be sacrificial pawns, I'm afraid they won't…"
Chen Cheng: "They've already told us everything."
Zhao Chengfeng: "What? This…"
"They are employed by Liu Zhiyou, who is currently in charge of the rescue home. It seems that they are following the 'first ranker' because of a rare Tamed Beast and want to know his address…"
"The motive… is clearly to kill him and steal his pet."
Speaking of that, Chen Cheng could not help but laugh, "It was interesting. They were so full of ideas."
He could not be blamed for laughing. If the other main character in this matter was not Li Song, then he would naturally want to uphold justice.
But the problem was… this person was Li Song!
The current number one ranker in the world!
He saw with his own eyes that when Li Song left, the ground beneath his feet cracked!
Zhao Chengfeng: "…"
He felt like the last sentence was directed at him.
"This Liu Zhiyou sure has guts. Leave him to the police."
This kind of matter was naturally not worth the attention of Zhao Chengfeng, the head of the military.
"Cough… Sir…"
Chen Cheng took a look at the middle-aged man sitting opposite him, who was shaking like a leaf, tears streaming down his face and said: "I've already caught Liu Zhiyou."
Zhao Chengfeng: "???"
When can you change your bad habit of not obeying orders?
