Chapter 147 Biological Experiment

The war on the entire Kuangxi Island had ended. After the Beast King was defeated, the mutant beast hordes in the northern area also dispersed. Without the Beast King's command, these monsters posed no threat. Without Li Tianran even needing to act, they would begin to devour each other out of their hunger.

The heavy-duty transport vehicles, seized from the Burmese warlord, roared across Kuangxi Island, a convoy of thirty, each carrying the corpse of a Beast King.

In the sky, a formation of three helicopters flew, their sturdy steel cables suspending a still-living, but barely breathing, Beast King below.

A total of one hundred and seventy-three Beast Kings had landed on Kuangxi Island last night. These Beast Kings had all landed beside Li Tianran at the southern cliffs, so he knew this number very well.

Under the bombardment of missiles and artillery, over one hundred and forty Beast Kings had died on the spot, fifty-seven of them completely obliterated, their bodies melted by the intense heat of the explosions...

Although the Beast Kings were evolved beings, requiring a specific weakness to be struck for a fatal blow, under such overwhelming firepower, their weaknesses didn't matter. Even their blood cells were dried and evaporated. Under such firepower, no creature was truly unkillable, only more or less difficult to kill.

After taking stock, Li Tianran had harvested nearly one thousand two hundred tons of Beast King meat. This was considering only the relatively well-preserved portions. The remains of the Beast Kings that had been blown to pieces by artillery shells were simply doused with gasoline and burned to ashes along with the mutant beasts.

In addition, Li Tianran captured twenty-seven living Beast Kings, but unfortunately, they were all atavistic Beast Kings with no noteworthy qualities.

"So much Beast King meat... fried, stir-fried, braised, stewed, enough for ten meals a day." A smile appeared on Li Tianran's face.

Food was the most important thing in life, and for a glutton like Li Tianran, Beast King meat, such a top-tier ingredient, represented more than just a delicious meal. The stronger the Beast King, the more potent the "medicinal" properties contained within their bodies, enhancing the abilities of evolved beings. And the Beast Kings that attacked Kuangxi Island were far stronger than the two he had hunted in Nancheng.

Eating these Beast Kings would elevate Li Tianran's evolutionary abilities by more than just one level.

"Why not just kill all these Beast Kings?" Tang Su asked, puzzled. She watched Li Tianran constantly implanting spider-shaped bombs into the bodies of the surviving Beast Kings. These monsters had caused her significant psychological trauma. She asked in a low voice, "You don't plan to raise them all, do you?"

"A Beast King oceanarium? Sounds kind of interesting..." Li Tianran chuckled softly. "But I don't have that kind of interest. I just want to use them as a food supply and biological test subjects. Atavistic Beast Kings don't even qualify to be ornamental pets."

Although Li Tianran now had a large reserve of Beast King meat, fresh meat would definitely taste better than frozen meat. Moreover, Professor Nan's biological laboratory was starting its work, and it would definitely need a large number of test subjects in the future.

Li Tianran knew that Professor Nan would never use human bodies as test subjects as ruthlessly as Bai Jingyan did, so these Beast Kings were the best experimental materials.

He still wanted Professor Nan to create an evolutionary path where Ancient God-types, God Descendant-types, and Intelligent Brain-types could coexist, even though it would be very difficult...

This night was destined to be sleepless.

When the light of dawn shone on Kuangxi Island once more, the mutant beast corpses that littered the mountains and fields had been cleared away. A large number of adult-level battle berserkers drove engineering vehicles, hauling stones and soil to bury and reshape the scorched earth in front of the farm that had been bombed.

A large number of mutant beast corpses were piled up near the southern cliffs. As towering flames rose, the traces of these monsters' existence in the world were finally erased.

"Report on the battle damage." Li Tianran sat on a rock, quietly asking Qin Yiming.

Holding a laptop, Qin Yiming pulled up a set of data and answered with great seriousness, "According to statistics, our battle damage last night was... one armed helicopter, seventy-two percent damaged, no value in repairing it."

"Four grenade tank destroyers, three of which are heavily damaged, one with a damaged cannon barrel, which can be repaired!"

"One hundred and eighty-two adult-level battle berserkers, of which one hundred and fifty-three were severely damaged, with no meaning in repairing them! Twenty-nine are undergoing emergency repairs, expected to be completed by three o'clock this afternoon..."

"Ammunition loss..."

Qin Yiming carefully reported the compiled data. Li Tianran listened, slowly taking a deep breath.

Although this battle was a victory, his own losses were not small. Putting aside the helicopters and heavy vehicles, the ammunition consumption alone was considerable. The two-minute saturation bombardment outside the farm last night had consumed thousands of medium and small rockets, not to mention machine gun bullets, RPGs, grenades, and other light infantry weapons...

If the military expenditure of last night were converted into cash, then Li Tianran had burned hundreds of millions in the half hour from the start to the end of the war!

"No wonder people say that when the cannons fire, gold flows... the price of a medium-sized missile is almost the same as a small Audi. Without some wealth, you can't even afford to fight a war!" Li Tianran sighed with some emotion. He had always thought that his military power was strong enough, but after the battle last night, he realized that he was still somewhat lacking.

"I need to establish my own military manufacturing industry, preferably an arsenal!" Li Tianran said, his eyes shining brightly, after pondering for a moment.

He now had unique advantages. Relying on the iron ore, he had the manufacturing methods for many weapons in his brain. What he lacked was mainly factory equipment and a large amount of explosive materials, but these materials could be purchased in the mall, so the difficulty of obtaining them wasn't too great.

Points.

The root of everything was still points.

Qin Yiming, who was next to him, asked softly, "Boss, the equipment in the mining area will be repaired soon, and it can be restarted soon. However, since the adult-level berserkers in the mining area were depleted too much last night, we need to replenish the troops. Do you want to replenish them now or..."

"Replenish them immediately! Start work immediately!" Li Tianran stood up and said in a deep voice.

Last night, the Beast Kings had also attacked the mining area, but it was full of heavy equipment and stones, so the Beast Kings didn't cause much damage. After simple repairs, the equipment quickly resumed operation.

...

Inside the castle, Han Han, who had been awake all night, didn't rest. Instead, she carried a small stool and was sweating profusely in the kitchen, preparing breakfast.

Perhaps it was because Tang Su didn't abandon Han Han and leave on her own at the last moment last night, or perhaps it was because of that children's song. In short, Han Han's attitude towards Tang Su had undergone a subtle change.

At this time, Tang Su was catching up on sleep, and Han Han secretly took over her work.

She threw the entire grass carp and some unknown spices into the pot and stirred them frantically. She occasionally muttered, "This is soy sauce, right... why does it smell sour? The color is right, though?"

"This should be sugar, right?呸呸呸! It's salt..."

"This is cooking wine, oh no! I poured too much. Let me see what the tutorial says. If you add too much seasoning, add more of the main ingredient... I'll cut some more meat!"

Han Han was busy and flustered in the kitchen. Originally, a simple braised fish had turned into a pot of pitch-black, bubbling, boiling asphalt-like liquid under Han Han's magical operation. The fish, which had not been gutted or scaled, stared with its eyes, looking like it had died more unjustly than old Wu Er's father next door...

Tang Su heard the movement in the kitchen and walked out, rubbing her eyes.

When she stood at the door of the kitchen and looked at the unknown substance in the pot and Han Han's expectant face, she paused for a moment and asked:

"Oh, how did you find the time to personally poison...ah呸, cook today?"
