Chemical Pig

Li Qinwu was delighted as he searched the bodies. He found a special injection.

Name: Poison Needle

Reference Value: 25 Fertilizer Coupons

Effect: Extremely intense pain and hallucinations, extremely addictive, severely damages the human liver, kidneys, metabolic system, and immune system. Long-term use causes intellectual decline.

Tip: Although this is an evil drug, its ingredients can be diluted and mixed with other chemicals to create a variety of normal medicines.

Li Qinwu was overjoyed. This was a foundational material for manufacturing medicine. He had a Medical Station component in his storage space that could be upgraded; once he found special supplies, he could build a Medical Station.

A Medical Station could produce health packs, surgical kits, painkillers, and hemostatic agents.

It could also produce all kinds of functional injections, such as Load-Bearing Injections, which increased strength and carrying capacity.

Endurance Injections could double your endurance, allowing you to run extremely long distances.

Regeneration Injection, Void Blood Pump, activate! As long as your limbs had not been crippled, one injection into your body would keep restoring your health.

Li Qinwu had never expected this pack of Chemical Dogs to drop such precious injections, and he immediately began searching them.

The eleven Chemical Dogs dropped eleven Poison Needles. One who looked like a squad leader also dropped a Handmade Poison Gas Bomb.

Its effect was to create a poisonous zone in a 20-by-20-meter area. The gas would make people cough nonstop and lasted eighty seconds.

Li Qinwu felt rather fortunate. It was a good thing he had launched a surprise attack. If that little Chemical Dog leader had thrown out the gas bomb, things would have been terrible.

He put away the injections and gas bomb, feeling that Chemical Dogs were practically kind souls who farmed materials for him. Even without the black marketeer's mission, he could make more trouble for the Chemical Gang!

With that thought, Li Qinwu took out his knife, intending to cut off the skin bearing the tattooed periodic table elements on these Chemical Dogs' shoulders. But then, a series of heavy footsteps sounded.

Thump!! Thump!! Thump!!

Rumble!!

After a burst of flying bricks and twisted metal, a grotesque man two and a half meters tall, covered in fat, appeared!!

He was a super-fat man whose height and shoulder width were nearly the same. Several layers of iron plates covered his body, driven directly into his flesh with steel nails.

The grotesque man wore a helmet made from metal scraps, with a pair of pig ears on it. An iron faceplate connected beneath the helmet, and the faceplate bore an abstract pig snout.

Chemical Pig, a disposable humanoid weapon modified by the Chemical Gang. They were usually made from captured underhive residents, gang members who had made mistakes, or enemies from rival gangs.

These people were captured and injected with massive quantities of veterinary muscle-growth agents, regeneration agents, and all kinds of chemical drugs. Their bodies underwent secondary development and piled on flesh, granting them unimaginable strength.

The drawback was that their brains turned into beasts controlled by chemicals. They could only kill every living thing around them by instinct, and could only be activated once!

From the moment the modification began, the Chemical Pig remained asleep. Once activated with drugs, it would fly into a rage and slaughter and destroy everything for around an hour. After an hour, it would die of heart failure. Its tiny heart simply could not drive such a massive body.

This squad of Chemical Dogs had been sent by the Chemical Gang's "Mother" to scout the Reactor in advance. They had brought a sleeping Chemical Pig and left it at the entrance outside.

The instant the Chemical Dog squad leader was knocked down by the blasting cap, he knew they were under attack. He used a small wireless radio button in his arms to activate the sleeping Chemical Pig.

There was something called a Rage Spine on the Chemical Pig's spine, connected to its pig-head mask.

Besides activating the sleeping Chemical Pig, it could inject rage agents into the Chemical Pig's brain and spinal nerves. This would keep the Chemical Pig enraged at all times, unleashing extraordinarily high combat power!

The moment it was activated, the Chemical Pig let out an enraged roar at Li Qinwu before charging at him.

Imagine how it felt to have someone two and a half meters tall and nearly two and a half meters wide, wearing a pig-head mask and nailed with steel plates, charge at you.

Li Qinwu felt every goosebump on his body about to explode. He did not dare waste even a second before turning and running upstairs.

The Chemical Pig pursued him closely. Though fat and huge, it was surprisingly fast and kept tightly on Li Qinwu's heels.

Li Qinwu was horrified. This thing was actually so fast! Once he ran out of stamina, he would be screwed!

As an aside, with one full stamina bar, he could now run three consecutive kilometers at the pace of a long-distance runner—roughly three minutes per kilometer.

Yet even at that level, the mountain of flesh behind him could keep right on his heels, squealing "oink, oink, oink" as it ran. Its stomps made the ground rumble, sending Li Qinwu's heart into his throat.

When people encountered danger, they liked running toward places they believed were safe. The route they had taken was the safest, so he darted all the way to the fifth floor. The Chemical Pig followed him there. With no other choice, he could only keep running.

The Reactor was a small square map. Every floor covered around five hundred square meters, with all kinds of little rooms. Each of the four corners on every floor had a staircase leading down, while the center held a cylinder connecting the upper and lower levels. That was the Reactor.

Li Qinwu led the Chemical Pig in circles around the fifth floor. He wanted to find somewhere small to hide, but there was nowhere at all. Every passage and room here was large enough for the Chemical Pig to enter. He had nowhere to hide!

Thinking about it, that was normal. This was a place for producing chemicals, where huge quantities of raw materials had to be transported around. Of course the passages had to be made larger.

This made things miserable for Li Qinwu. Half his stamina bar was already gone, and who knew how long this pig could keep running!

Dying was not a big deal, but he could not lose the medicine he had finally found!

Sweating profusely, he glanced back. The Chemical Pig was chasing him while snorting and grunting. Saliva streamed from the mouth exposed beneath its pig-face mask, its rotten teeth as black as a black hole.

"Emperor above!!"

Li Qinwu had no desire to experience being bitten to death by a Chemical Pig, so he racked his brain for a solution.

Then he suddenly noticed a gap between the cylindrical Reactor and the metal floor panels. The gap was just large enough for one person to pass through!

Li Qinwu was overjoyed. He jumped over and hugged the Reactor, gripping it with both hands and feet. In a flash, he slid from the fifth floor down to the first.

Li Qinwu landed and looked up. The Chemical Pig on the fifth floor was reaching and craning its head, trying to force its body into the gap. But how could it possibly squeeze down?

Li Qinwu laughed. Watching his stamina bar slowly recover, he came up with a way to kill the Chemical Pig: exhaust all its stamina!

It was known that Li Qinwu could run up to the fifth floor and then slide down, while the Chemical Pig could only run up and then run back down. It would consume twice as much stamina as Li Qinwu, and Li Qinwu could rest while it ran down and wait for his stamina to recover.

In that case, if he ran a few more laps, would the Chemical Pig not simply collapse from exhaustion?

He thought he had come up with a brilliant plan, so he waited calmly for the Chemical Pig to run down, while waiting for the stamina he had just spent to recover.

But even after his entire stamina bar had fully recovered, the Chemical Pig still had not come down. Pig-slaughtering screams were echoing from the fifth floor.

Li Qinwu was puzzled. What was Piggy doing up there?

He looked upward through the gap from the first floor and saw that the Chemical Pig was stuck!

Piggy was single-minded. When it saw Li Qinwu crawl down through the gap, it tried to crawl down through it too—and it was forcing itself in with all its might. So there it was, stuck fast.
