Chapter 273: Chapter 229: Boar’s Reckless Charge (Part 3)

CRUNCH! CRUNCH!! As the two three-meter-tall behemoths were stuffed inside, the mutated pig stopped its ravenous gulping. A hair-raising chewing sound began, accompanied by the crisp snap of shattering bones as large globs of black blood trickled down its snout.

...

The good news was, Lin Fan got his rightful drops from the two Mutated Zombies that had killed themselves—and they were quite substantial. Plus, the 20 points of Life Value had been credited.

The bad news was—

GURGLE GURGLE—

As these two high-tier mutated entities went down its gullet, the great brown pig’s hide began to undergo a drastic transformation!

A metallic sheen, just like the Metal Awakened One from before, suddenly appeared on its originally coarse hide. Immediately after, its muscle fibers bulged wildly, becoming as hard as rock—just like a Mutated Zombie!

And beneath its long health bar, an energy bar that hadn’t been there before abruptly materialized: [20/20].

Furthermore, even its Life Value was slowly rising...

’This thing... it can absorb abilities?!’

Alarm bells went off in Lin Fan’s mind, and a terrible premonition instantly surfaced.

The fate of the Metal Awakened One who had been dragged in earlier was now obvious.

’This monster gains abilities by eating Awakened Ones and Mutated Zombies? In that case...’

Lin Fan spun around abruptly. While Tao He was still gawking in horror at the sheer size of the boss’s massive trump card, Lin Fan channeled his impact force and plunged his spear deep into the man’s chest!

BOOM!

The impact force erupted, blowing the low-health Awakened One to smithereens!

[-999]!

’Can’t let it eat this poison-user.’

Lin Fan’s strike hadn’t just been to kill the man—it was to obliterate the corpse!

’The pig had inhaled a fair amount of the woman’s remains but hadn’t gained her skeletonizing ability. It must either need a larger quantity, or the prey has to be alive!’

’Whatever the case, the right move was to prevent it from getting a single bite of "poison-attribute" flesh!’

Having done all that, Lin Fan pulled his spear from the concrete, flicked the blood from its tip, and watched the still-chewing behemoth, pondering his next move.

"You will merge with it too! When I return here one day, you will all become my most powerful servants!"

The voice from the loudspeaker rang out again, followed by a burst of maniacal laughter.

"Hahahahaha! Despair!"

Just as his laughter reached its peak,

Lin Fan snapped his head up. His gaze pierced the curtain of rain and locked onto the edge of the factory roof.

There, a crimson health bar had flashed for an instant before vanishing!

’Trying to run?’

Lin Fan glanced at the heavily armored pig before him, which was now pawing at the ground as it prepared to charge. A cold smirk touched his lips.

’That fat pig of yours can’t fly, can it! And who said I was going to fight it?’

’Use Strength Potion (Medium)!’

Lin Fan’s originally lean figure suddenly swelled by a full size!

The muscles across his back bulged like mountain ranges, completely ripping apart his tattered tracksuit. It revealed an explosive, exaggerated musculature reminiscent of an Ancient Greek sculpture. Veins coiled beneath his skin like dragons, each pulse sending ferocious power coursing through him.

"Go!"

As he dropped into a crouch, he slammed the end of his spear into the ground. The shaft instantly bent like a fully drawn bow. In the next moment, he unleashed that stored elastic energy along with the terrifying explosive power from his legs!

BOOM!

The concrete beneath his feet exploded, leaving a huge crater! Propelled by the recoil, Lin Fan shot upward like a rocket, defying gravity. He shattered the falling raindrops, soaring more than ten meters straight into the air with a piercing shriek of wind.

CRASH!! With a tremendous bang, he landed like a meteor on the corrugated steel roof of the factory. The support beams beneath his feet groaned in protest as the tiles buckled, forming two deep footprints. Countless surrounding rivets popped loose and went flying.

Lin Fan slowly straightened up, rainwater streaming down his explosive musculature. He lifted his head and looked toward the edge of the roof, less than ten meters away.

[3000/3000]

[3000/3000]

[1040/1040]...

There, a pair of special zombies—one male, one female—were poised on all fours. They had slender bodies and were covered in barbed bone spurs.

And straddling the back of the female zombie was a portly, middle-aged man. He wore a factory uniform, a standard-issue rifle slung over one arm, and held a briefcase in his other hand.

Their eyes met, and the air seemed to freeze.

"You... How did you get up here?!"
