The series of events unfolded too quickly, leaving everyone else dumbfounded.
"Boss, you're amazing! You're Shovel Knight, right? And that cat of yours, it's incredible! Is it really a cat? Not a little tiger or leopard, right?" Chen Letian exclaimed.
Guo Dalong wore a sullen expression, hesitating as he noticed the tip of a gun peeking out from Shen Yuan's pocket. He knew that the Revolver had six bullets, and Shen Yuan had only fired three shots earlier, so there should be three left.
If he could get his hands on the Revolver, he could take out Shen Yuan and Chen Letian with a single shot each, then keep one bullet to intimidate the others and become the leader of this group!
However, in the end, he still didn't dare to make a move.
This was because Shen Yuan didn't appear weak from the intense battle; even his breathing wasn't as heavy as he had imagined. Moreover, he wasn't sure if there were really still bullets in the gun. If there were, why had Shen Yuan only fired three shots in such a dangerous situation? Shouldn't he have used all his bullets?
Perhaps there had only been three bullets in the gun from the start?
Additionally, A Hu's performance made him wary; he couldn't believe that a forty-centimeter-long Tabby Cat could be so formidable in combat.
Of course, what truly held him back was when Shen Yuan lifted his head and glanced at him.
That cold gaze frightened him.
He couldn't help but wonder if he could really provoke someone who had a gun and was willing to kill.
He looked tough and intimidating when angered.
Yet in reality...
He was just an ordinary person after all, an ordinary person living in peace and under the sun.
Shen Yuan did not say much more and glanced again at Luo Jindou hiding next to the Communication Base Station.
Luo Jindou's earlier performance was no different from the others.
Fearful of death, which is quite normal.
However, this meant that at least in the eyes of Chen Letian, Guo Dalong, and Xu Lixing, he was no longer trustworthy.
"Pull Xu Lixing up," Shen Yuan said.
Only then did Luo Jindou jog over to help Chen Letian and Guo Dalong pull Xu Lixing up.
This high school student proved reliable at a critical moment, tightly gripping the rope and plastic bag, ensuring that neither he nor the gasoline fell down.
"Shen... Shen Ge, thank you for your help... I am deeply grateful..." The boy, exhausted and frightened, spoke breathlessly, stuttering a bit, and sounded somewhat... pretentious, or perhaps a bit childish.
Yes, a typical middle schooler.
"If you don't want to thank me, then there's no need to. Take a break. I won't get involved in burning the Zombie; you all go ahead," Shen Yuan waved his hand and began to deal with the Mutated Hen.
First, he needed to extract those three bullets.
The reason he had only used three shots earlier and not a fourth was to keep it as a backup in case of emergencies, such as if Guo Dalong suddenly attacked.
Now that Guo Dalong had already softened up, at least on the surface, retreating to a corner without approaching to burn the Zombie or daring to come near him, there would temporarily be no issues.
Three bullets were too few; it was always better to recycle the other three.
Additionally, he needed to find a way to absorb the Source of Life from the Mutated Hen, which was very important to him.
Using the Shovel like a knife, he cut open the bullet hole and found the first bullet.
At that moment, a cold mechanical voice echoed in his mind:
"Metal product detected, Source of Life sufficient, activate?"
Shen Yuan was taken aback.
Can bullets be activated? Activated individually?
What effect would activation have? Would it have stronger penetration?
Shen Yuan didn't know and did not choose to activate it.
Because activating a bullet alone was useless unless the handgun was activated together. But at least for now, he couldn't activate the handgun.
This was quite strange.
Clearly, the handgun was lighter than the Shovel; why could the Shovel be activated while the handgun could not?
Was it because the handgun contained non-metallic substances?
Or was it because the structure of the handgun was more complex?
Shen Yuan didn't know.
Soon, all three bullets were found and loaded into the handgun. Shen Yuan began to dissect the Mutated Hen with a Shovel.
The Shovel was sharp enough, probably sharper than a scalpel, easily slicing through the flesh of the Mutated Hen.
In fact, the dissection of the muscle was just a facade; Shen Yuan's true purpose was to absorb the Source of Life within the Mutated Hen.
However...
"Wow! Boss, are you going to chop this Old Hen into pieces for soup? I'm good at this, let me do it!" Chen Letian approached, rubbing his hands together, eager to try.
"Aren't you supposed to be setting fire to the Zombie?" Shen Yuan frowned, not wanting Chen Letian to get involved.
This Old Hen was his trophy; even if he were to share it with others, it would have to wait until he absorbed the Source of Life first.
"Hehe, Xu Lixing volunteered to set fire to the Zombie! This kid suddenly got brave; if you don't let him burn it, he'll be unhappy!" Chen Letian looked at the Shovel in Shen Yuan's hand and chuckled, "Boss, where did you buy your Shovel? It's really sharp! Just like that, it chopped off this Old Hen's head! Let me tell you, the bones of these Old Hens get harder as they age! A five or six-year-old Old Hen can't even be chopped with a Bone-Cutting Knife..."
Shen Yuan frowned; this guy was starting to ramble again. He quickly interrupted, "Are you a chef?"
Chen Letian exclaimed, "What? Doesn't it look like it? Did you see that Diguo Chicken Restaurant? I'm just a helper at that place! But Chef Li said my clay pot chicken is delicious and told me that if I learn for another couple of months, I could graduate!"
Shen Yuan nodded and didn't say anything further.
Speaking of which, this Mutated Hen came from that Diguo Chicken Restaurant...
"No one knows if the Mutated Hen is edible," Shen Yuan continued dissecting while Chen Letian watched in astonishment.
"Hey hey, Boss, that's not how you kill a chicken! No no, you can't chop here like that! Boss, how did you crush the chicken liver? Boss, that's where the intestines are; you have to chop it like this..."
Chen Letian chattered until he saw Shen Yuan's murderous gaze, then remembered that this person carried a gun. He quickly shrank his neck and raised his hands above his head, saying, "Alright, alright, boss, you have the final say!"
Shen Yuan continued to tinker.
A surge of heat flowed into his body; he felt more and more energized, as if he had gained a lot of strength. The only downside was that his stomach was growing hungrier. Looking at the corpse of the Mutated Hen in front of him, he felt an overwhelming desire to consume it.
The desire to eat it raw.
Xu Lixing poured gasoline over the Zombie by the iron gate, then tore off a sleeve soaked in gasoline, wrapped it around a rock, lit it with a lighter, and threw it over.
Boom!
Flames shot into the sky, accompanied by continuous screams!
A wave of Inferno erupted from the iron gate, nearly splashing onto Xu Lixing.
The others had long since moved far away, watching as the Zombies twisted in the flames and were slowly burned to charcoal.
From the flames emerged new hope.
The hope of life!
