Slaughter Hunters (Part 1)

"Hahaha, this time the perverted consultant will praise me to death for my performance!"

When Huang Yuanli arrived at the "Wild Motel" with the troops she had recruited, she boasted to her companions with great pride.

There was no other reason than that when they left, there were ten of them, but when they returned, they brought with them a full four hundred tribal warriors.

Although these warriors are not as good as the modified mechanical hunters, they have been exposed to radiation for many years and have undergone some degree of distortion. In two or three of their abilities, such as strength, agility, endurance, perception, and intelligence, they are several times stronger than ordinary people.

More importantly, after careful selection, a full one hundred of these people were mental enhancers, meaning they had a perception level of over 10.

With these people around, their army of mechanical beasts was finally no longer a chaotic mess.

One of the mechanical hunters shamelessly flattered, "Of course, it's Sister Li who's amazing. Only Sister Li can get along so well with those old men in the Elder Council."

"Hahahahahahaha."

Saber Tamil glanced at the two of them and sneered, "If the boss hadn't made us demonstrate our animal taming techniques and promised to share them with us, do you think those old guys at the horse farm would have been so easy to talk to?"

"If Sister Li hadn't personally demonstrated how she single-handedly tamed a small tribe of mechanical beasts, do you think they would have believed it?"

Samurai glared menacingly at his opponent, while the hunter was equally defiant.

Cowboy Ap rode his plasma horse forward, glanced at the two men curiously, and said, "We need to get these brothers used to riding mechanical beasts as soon as possible. These mechanical beasts are different from those horses that only have a trace of radiation beast blood. They're quite difficult to handle."

The reason why the tribes of Horse Ranch Oasis were able to rival the mechanical hunters was not only because they were numerous and united, but also because they had the ability to tame animals.

However, this "taming" does not refer to radiated beasts, but rather to ordinary wild animals that carry a trace of radiated beast blood.

Although these kinds of wild animals are not the majority, they are actually quite numerous in the desert. According to the people of Machang, these are all atavistic wild animals.

"Alright, we're almost there! I'm exhausted."

The young woman stretched and yawned. In order to recruit soldiers for the war as soon as possible, she had been riding a tall horse for several days, and her buttocks were about to fall off from the bumps.

"Huh—"

Huang Yuanli suddenly sensed a violent emotion from the mechanical beast. Although the emotion was fleeting, it alerted her.

Seeing this, Ap quickly cracked his whip, and the four hundred-strong army obeyed orders without making a sound.

A moment later, a petite figure riding an electric reindeer appeared before everyone.

"Is this Sister Yuan Li?"

"Momo, you're back too!" Huang Yuanli breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing the little girl of the same style.

Momo was the three-eyed little girl who almost cried from being scared by the senior engineer a long time ago, but now she is a minor manager in the tribe.

She and Huang Yuanli split up; she was responsible for bringing back the mechanical beasts from the "herding" operation, while Huang Yuanli went to recruit people.

The mechanical beasts are as fast as most vehicles, so they are faster than them.

"Is nothing wrong in the tribe?" Huang Yuanli asked quickly.

Momo paused for a moment, "No, everyone is fine. Brother Meng is even very happy because he had his new bio-prosthetic body installed."

Huang Yuanli perked up and exclaimed, "What?! Meng Duoduo has grown legs again! That's great! I'm going to find him!"

"Go later, Professor Han is waiting for you to report on your work."

"That brain-filled monster, humph, I'm the Grand Elder now! Tell him to be polite to me, or I'll shove all the unwanted old widows in the tribe at him."

Huang Yuanli muttered a few words, but still obediently followed behind Momo.

The once-empty area around the inn is now occupied by enormous mechanical beasts, which lie lazily on the ground, being fed and groomed by the little girls of the tribe.

This is commonplace for the people of the Cable Tribe, but it is quite awe-inspiring for these four hundred newcomers.

There are hundreds of these giant beasts here, including ferocious-looking mechanical cheetahs, one-horned rhinoceroses with huge drill horns, and pneumatic cannon elephants that are two stories tall. These were the giant beasts that the tribal elders used to warn them to avoid.

The unique beast taming techniques of the Cable Tribe, combined with the "Tightening Ring" and the gifts of the beast tide, gave birth to this strange mechanical beast army.

Huang Yuanli is undoubtedly a core member of the new force.

If Daisy is the representative of the mechanical hunters, then she is the representative of the scavenger tribe.

She has gradually come to feel this difference. For example, in places with high confidentiality, she can move freely without hindrance, and a single word from her can affect a person's future.

She might not like this feeling, but she wouldn't be pretentious and say she hates it either. However, she knows that she is no longer the same as before.

She has grown up.

Even when she met Old Han, the enemy who almost killed her, she could calmly recount her experiences along the way.

She could tell the name, personality, and hobbies of each of the four hundred people she recruited.

Professor Han said, "I will send people to train them, but that's not enough. You need to win them back and prevent them from returning to their original tribes. There will definitely be spies from other tribes. Make good use of your abilities. If necessary, you can send them away..."

Huang Yuanli listened silently, paused for a moment, and then said, "I will use my own methods to win them over. No one will refuse a thriving tribe, but at the same time, no one will die for a cold and cruel tribe."

Professor Han gave her a deep look, said nothing, and buried himself in his work. In front of him were a large number of reagents.

Huang Yuanli pursed her lips, walked out directly, looked around, and, relying on her telepathy, found the source of her 'irritable' emotions.

To the back of the hotel, there was a large flat-panel room with a sign hanging at the door that read "Little Wilder Prosthetics Workshop".

Huang Yuanli hadn't taken more than a few steps when a dozen soldiers appeared like ghosts, blocking her way and staring at her expressionlessly.

"Who are you? I've never seen you before!"

Huang Yuanli took a step back and asked warily.

Many parts of these soldiers are covered in implanted biological weapons, either covered in spikes or barbs. Combined with their cold demeanor, they are practically humanoid killing machines.

It gives the impression of being full of danger.

"You must be Chief Huang. Please come inside with me."

A female soldier suddenly appeared, waved her hand, and the people voluntarily made way for her.

"My name is Sun Hong, and I'm in charge of the biological warfare unit," Sun Hong said, forcing a smile through the hard lines of his face.

"Biological troops!" Huang Yuanli blurted out in a flash of inspiration, "You're those bio-modified soldiers from the security force!"

Sun Hong remained silent.

"Didn't you get sick? The perverted consultant cured you? But it doesn't seem like you're really cured—"

"The general did indeed help us solve the rejection problem," Sun Hong paused for a moment, then said, "However, even if the rejection is cured, not everyone can retain their original consciousness."

Huang Yuanli clicked her tongue, fell silent, looked around, and suddenly exclaimed, "Who is she?"

At the window of the prosthetic workshop, a red-haired tomboy was intently peering through the window. Her ten fingers were modified metal fingers, reflecting a dazzling light under the illumination.

Her hairstyle was very similar to Daisy's in the past, a standard mohawk, except that her hair was thicker and stood up, making her look like a hedgehog with half its quills removed.

Sun Hong glanced at her. "Herri Wilder, old Wilder's daughter, the owner of this prosthetic workshop."

"Oh."

Huang Yuanli went inside and found many familiar faces: Lao Qian, Meng Duoduo, Aunt Xiang, and almost the entire group of old hunters were there.

When Meng Duo saw Huang Yuanli, his eyes lit up and he quickly waved.

Huang Yuanli's mouth gaped open as she looked at the arm that looked like it had just been cut off from the radiated beast.

Is this an arm? Isn't this a standard radiant beast claw? Yellow sharp claws, emerald green scales, and huge, bulging blue veins.

Where is my original Meng Duoduo, the Meng Duoduo who wasn't abnormal yet?

However, when he looked at the senior engineer not far away, he was even more stunned. The senior engineer was sitting on a pneumatic cannon elephant and was adjusting something with a surgical arm.

This cannon elephant no longer resembles a "cannon elephant" at all!

As is well known, the "Air Cannon Elephant" is known for its powerful attacks and slow movements. Moreover, it is a rare vegetarian, not eating the flesh of its own kind, but instead consuming various metal scraps.

Among mechanical beasts, it is a typical honest person.

But now the "Air Cannon Elephant" has its four feet replaced by mechanical tracks, its body is covered with thick white bone armor, and its back is armed with four heavy machine guns.

The "Mas Edge" brand heavy machine gun has five intelligent modules. Its only drawback is that it can turn normal people into cyber-psychotic patients, the same type used by Black God.

Following the verbal commands of a little girl from a cable tribe, the four heavy machine guns spun nimbly, seemingly becoming an integral part of the air cannons.

[Surgery complete. You have gained 1200 experience points.]

The senior engineer finished the final suturing with his surgical arm, looked up, and exclaimed softly, "Little lady, you're back."

Everyone then realized that Huang Yuanli had returned and greeted her warmly.

Huang Yuanli was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What's going on?"

"To put it simply, it's about installing weapons that have all sorts of problems with humans onto mechanical beasts."

"If there's something wrong with people, then the weapon users shouldn't be human either."

The senior engineer made a rude remark, but everyone present agreed with it.

"Some weapons are indeed not suitable for human use; they are better suited for mechanical beasts. This would solve the problem of rejection."

"Upgrading all the mechanical beasts will definitely increase their combat power by more than ten times, and they will even be comparable to the armored forces of the security forces."

"It should have been done a long time ago. If we put radiation weapons on radiation beasts, we wouldn't have to worry about radiation problems."

"Meow meow meow~~"

Huang Yuanli looked around and suddenly realized that as a normal person, she seemed out of place.

Old Han was just inhuman, but he never expected that the perverted consultant would even prey on wild animals.

We're all perverts, so why is it that your level of perversion always seems to be a cut above the rest?
