Road of Berserk Rage

After Zhou Chu took command of the squad, her approach became far more aggressive. Seven modified mice were sent out to scout and provide warnings, leaving the little monk with nothing to do but identify the direction and lead the way.

The team's pace increased dramatically, while the captain trailed at the rear, looking relaxed as though he were sightseeing on a leisurely trip.

They marched through the tedious forest for over half an hour. Aside from the harsh natural environment, the team encountered almost no danger or obstacles. They did not even come across any larger wild animals—only birds and all kinds of insects. Hidden beneath the layer of fallen leaves underfoot were soft-bodied creatures, lizards, and crawling reptiles...

Yuan Zhu adapted quite well to the forest environment. Even without the mice at his side to warn him, he could always sense the ambushes of poisonous insects, leeches, and venomous snakes in advance, then quietly avoid them.

"Why are there no traces of wild animals in this forest?" Meng Xi asked. "Little monk, you said that at first, you couldn't find any large animals for food. Then not long ago, you suddenly suffered a beast attack and lost quite a few people, right?"

Ku Cao replied, "That's right. At first, we could still hunt animals like wild boars and deer, but those beasts vanished one after another in an extremely short period of time. Around ten days ago, a team searching for food was suddenly attacked and severely injured by a ferocious beast, suffering heavy casualties. The sky was dim at the time, and the beast moved too fast, so the survivors did not get a clear look at it. They only confirmed that it had sharp horns. After that, no one was willing to risk going out to hunt anymore."

Zhou Chu commented, "That beast that appeared out of nowhere is worth being wary of as well. Horns, swift movements, and aggression—what species is that?"

Yuan Zhu joined the discussion. "Could it be related to the Yellow Springs that rose from the dead?"

Ku Cao shook his head. "I don't know. I've never seen that kind of monster. But before I got separated from my companions a few days ago, the settlement was repeatedly attacked by mysterious beasts. They weren't like the dead things that attacked the Buddhist kingdom. We were terrified, so we scattered and fled."

"This world's situation is a little complicated. There's the Buddhist Sect, then the Yellow Springs, and now a pack of savage beasts has emerged out of nowhere, rising to prominence amid the spreading corrosion of Yellow Springs Death Qi?"

The team drew closer and closer to Ku Cao's former settlement. From afar, they could see that it lay in a steep cliff valley. Not only was there running water, but also many naturally formed rock caves where people could live and hide.

The squad approached inch by inch. The air was utterly still, and the atmosphere oppressive—not even a single bird could be seen. There were occasional remnants of human activity on the ground, along with crude alarm traps that had already been triggered. But there was not a single person in sight.

Zhou Chu suddenly went on alert and warned them, "Everyone, pay attention. My mice have sent a warning—there's movement to the north."

Yuan Zhu raised his gun and took aim. "I sensed it too. There are a lot of them, and they're approaching quickly."

Because the Immortal Scripture served as interfacing software, his remote control over the mice was stronger than anyone else's, and his sensing range was broader and clearer.

At that moment, the mice sent back vague information through the Mental Connection. A large number of moving entities had exceeded the safe contamination threshold and were rapidly approaching the squad. They were incredibly fast and paid no attention to the mice crouching sneakily in the grass. Instead, they rushed right past overhead and charged directly at the squad.

Before long, even with the naked eye, they could clearly make out a group of something racing toward them from afar. The young woman shouted a warning, "Stop! Otherwise, we will attack!"

But those creatures had no intention of slowing down. Instead, they spread out in coordination, faintly forming an arc around the group as they prepared for a hunt.

The captain, who had been watching the show, reminded them, "Those who come bear no goodwill. Those things aren't human, so there's no need to show mercy."

Zhou Chu gave the order decisively. "Take aim. Wait for the right moment. Don't fire recklessly. Let them get a little closer... Now! Open fire! Shoot freely!"

As the distance steadily shrank, Yuan Zhu saw pairs of eyes glowing with an eerie green light. Then he saw a pack of malformed beasts—wild boars, sika deer, mountain goats, wolves, lynxes... Herbivores and carnivores were mixed together, as if they had suffered some sort of contamination and alteration.

Their bodies were twisted and swollen, their malformed muscles grotesquely proliferated and brimming with power. Cracks covered the skin beneath their heads, and eyeballs blinked open and shut within them. Sharp fangs had generally grown from their mouths, bone spurs pierced through the skin at their limb joints, and clusters of sharp, sword-leaf-orchid-shaped bone plates grew from their skulls and backs... They looked like nothing to trifle with.

Bang bang bang bang...! Boom boom boom...! Zhou Chu pulled the trigger first. Her marksmanship was excellent, and a three-round burst struck the beast at the front. The high-speed spinning bullets blew off the monster's skullcap, and a spray of thick dark-green blood exploded through the air, splattering the nearby vegetation.

Yuan Zhu clearly saw the thing's brain smashed to bits and flying everywhere, yet the empty-skulled monster did not fall. It continued charging at the front, its direction not shifting in the slightest, its obsession terrifyingly strong.

Bang bang bang...! He hurriedly raised his hand and fired at the monster's front legs. This body seemed blessed by the gods; after only a few consecutive adjustments, he easily grasped the knack of leading his shots, judged the distance and direction, shattered one of its legs, and made it lose balance and crash to the ground.

"Roar!"

At the rear, Black Butcher emptied his magazine at the speed of light, then roared and threw his Firearms to the ground before yanking a grenade from his waist.

His spirit surged and his blood boiled. The muscles in his entire right arm tightened as he clenched the grenade with its pin pulled, then hurled it with every ounce of his strength.

As he instinctively performed that series of actions, he failed to notice countless imperceptibly fine transparent threads extending from inside the Uniform he wore, piercing through his pores and burrowing into his skin, linking with his superficial nerves.

As he instinctively made the all-out throwing motion, the clothes on his body further stimulated his physical functions, helping him unleash his strength, amplify the force of the movement, and adjust the distance and angle, forcibly turning a grenade toss into the impact of a professional pitcher's throw.

Boom! The metal grenade blew apart the mouth of a deer-like monster, smashing its mouthful of sharp teeth before embedding itself deep in its mouth like a cannonball. The blow sent the deer-headed monster's head and neck snapping backward, nearly toppling it over. Before it could spit out the foreign object in its mouth, the grenade exploded in place and blew its grotesque, vicious head apart.

Boom! Boom! With the Butcher taking the lead, Lü Rang, who had emptied his magazine and was fumbling helplessly because he did not know how to reload, also let out a strange cry, pulled the pin from a grenade, and threw it toward the cluster of monsters.

After two missed throws, his Uniform also drove his body to act in concert with his will. His throwing accuracy rapidly improved, and his strength increased greatly as well. In no more than five grenades, he swiftly went from a novice unable to judge distance or direction to a seasoned thrower capable of accurately striking moving beasts.

Watching savage beasts explode into dark-green bloody mist and chunks of flesh one after another at his hands, adrenaline surged through his body. A strange thrill and exhilaration kept crashing into his mind. He could feel neither fatigue nor fear, and with bloodshot eyes, he howled wildly, wanting to slaughter even more.

Compared to Black Butcher and Lü Rang, Bread Girl shrank back from sheer terror. She hugged her Firearms to her chest, curled into a ball on the ground, and did not dare raise her head to look. The old granny, on the other hand, decisively raised her gun. Before long, with the Uniform's assistance, she had become familiar with how to use it.

The wizened, skinny old woman looked as though she might breathe her last at any moment, yet she maintained textbook-standard movements that defied common sense, physically withstanding the recoil. Panting so hard she seemed on the verge of suffocating, she fired quickly and accurately, blood vessels spreading across her eyeballs, her blood pressure and heart rate both exceeding the limits of her age.

The sheer absurdity of the scene made her look like a fierce old bandit determined to rob a gold shop one last time before dying, lest her years be wasted.

"Baa baa baa! Baa baa baa!" The old granny's sheep was also stimulated. Breathing in the gunpowder smoke and bloody stench filling the air, it bleated madly and wanted to rush over for a grand feast. Thankfully, the little monk promptly locked its throat, grabbed and slammed it, then restrained it with ground techniques.

There was no need to say anything about the two people beside Yuan Zhu—they quickly adapted to the rhythm of battle. They got used to and mastered the Uniform's use at lightning speed, keeping their gun barrels steady and accurate, reloading quickly, and throwing grenades, blasting the fearless beasts that charged over and over into piles of green flesh that still twitched and writhed violently.

Yuan Zhu even added the Uniform to the whitelist of external devices for the Immortal Scripture, authorizing Little Elf to conduct safety monitoring. The conclusion was: "Neural interference enhancement; comprehensive physical attribute increase of 40–80%."

When a person was highly focused and concentrated, they would subconsciously form a neural connection with the clothing.

This garment possessed no intelligence, yet it could read the host's thoughts, change and cater to the host's subconscious, and ultimately grant whatever the wearer wished for—allowing the body to rapidly adapt to and become proficient at something, sparing countless rounds of mechanical repetitive training.

For example, firing a gun and throwing grenades in desperate circumstances. After only a little adjustment, this clothing would become like an extension of your nature, helping you quickly grasp the trick of it. At the same time, it secretly stimulated the body to release hormones, suppressing fear and tension while increasing dopamine... bringing excitement and pleasure.

All changes in Yuan Zhu's body were under Little Elf's monitoring.

She believed those changes remained within the safe range. The contamination contained in the clothing itself had not corroded or altered Yuan Zhu. He was merely using an item with supernatural properties; it had not yet reached the point of fusion or alteration.

"Roar roar roar!" Meng Xiyue, beside him, emptied all her magazines, threw away even her last pistol, and turned to snatch Yuan Zhu's gun.

Yuan Zhu dodged her at lightning speed. "Get lost. I'm not done having fun yet!" With that, he raised his hand and accurately blew apart the head of a six-legged wild boar. Then he shattered one of its legs and, seeing the densely packed blinking eyeballs on its chest, desperately wanted to throw a grenade and destroy it completely.

An evaluation and investigation of the commercial investment environment in another world had somehow switched into a berserk path straight out of Dead Space and Resident Evil. At this moment, everyone was mindlessly killing, killing, killing, ruled by their slaughtering instincts.

Gunfire, explosions, and monster roars blended into one. Watching the monsters rupture and explode before their eyes one after another made their minds exceptionally exhilarated. Not only did they not find it disgusting or terrifying, it felt unbelievably good.

Yuan Zhu's performance ranked above average among the group, but his killing efficiency still could not compare to Zhou Chu, who had received professional training, or Meng Xi, whose reaction speed was clearly abnormal.

Paired with the Uniform, the latter displayed reaction speed, Computing Power, and accuracy even more outrageous than Yuan Zhu's as an ordinary human, making people suspect she possessed some special ability in that regard.
