Capítulo 944: Chapter 943: Ulan Bator (Part 1)
When Xia Yu, Tulip, and the Jintan Shun team arrived at the border city.
Thump thump!
North Arica, Headquarters of the Food Society.
A researcher in a white coat knocked on the laboratory door, and a low voice ca from inside: “Co in—”
The white-haired, white-bearded worker, presumably the head of ingredient research at the agency, handed a freshly mixed glass reagent tube to the middle-aged man sitting in the office chair, looking over.
“Is it done?” The middle-aged man shook the test tube.
“Mission accomplished.”
The old professor bowed his head and said, “However, due to the lack of ingredient samples and only a small amount of blood, my research team and I have exhausted our efforts to develop this one injection, but the cell concentration is too low to provide you any significant enhancent.”
“No matter!”
The leader of the Food Society waved his hand, eyes full of interest as he watched the swirling scarlet liquid in the glass tube. “I just want to experience the so-called ‘GOD’s essence and see how far I am from the missing God’s Chef. Heh.”
Click.
He imdiately opened a tal box, drew out the liquid with a syringe, and injected it into his forearm.
The leader of the Food Society, the renowned Heavenly King, watched as the liquid was absorbed by his body. He slowly closed his eyes, relying on his powerful senses to feel a foreign energy source spreading from the injection site, like a virus spreading rapidly throughout his body in just a couple of seconds!
“Hah—”
He gasped uncontrollably.
The experienced old professor retreated to the doorway, observing the middle-aged man’s face covered with bulging veins, his body swelling like a balloon, straining the office chair with creaking sounds.
“The cellular fluid is invading!” The old professor adjusted his glasses, his eyes extrely calm. “It’s no wonder that the experint, suspected to contain ‘GOD’ cells, forced the Gourt Demon out of the leader’s body right after the injection…”
He looked at the silver tal walls beyond the light.
Whoosh—
A pair of shadowy black wings suddenly flapped, accompanied by the eerie cawing of ravens. The office chair finally collapsed, and the leader of the Food Society, now transford into a giant, snorted like an angry bull, exhaling two thick streams of white mist.
With a booming sound.
That tal wall was imdiately bent out of shape by a massive fist.
Caw caw.
Strange frog croaks quickly faded away.
“Heh heh…” The giant’s face showed disappointnt and mockery. “With just a bit of aura, you think you can destroy my body?”
The old professor’s pupils contracted, “Just a bit of aura?”
“Yes, just pseudo-GOD cells, they have no effect on a Heavenly King!” ca a playful voice from the lab. “However, for those at the Quincy level or Dragon level, the enhancent effect is quite significant. If they can control it and cook it, Quincys could break into the Dragon Gate, and as for the Dragon level, at least they could take a big step towards the Heavenly King level!”
“Hahaha, those old guys must be very disappointed, letting the younger ones fight and scramble!”
At the sa ti.
Europe, Denmark, IGO headquarters.
The ‘Three Sages’ held a brief eting in the Miracle Garden of the headquarters.
“Whew!”
Wise Man Karl exhaled a long breath and placed a detailed research report on the table. The researchers at the IGO headquarters had also thoroughly analyzed the ‘gourt cells’ of the ingredient.
“It’s good news indeed.” Karl’s forehead still showed traces of sweat. “The report’s conclusion clearly states, it has no effect on the Heavenly King level!”
“This way, there’s no need to worry about those Heavenly Kings coming down personally.”
Karl, known as the ‘Scalpel’, had the typical aura of a surgeon.
The other two were a master of seasoning, naturally involving spices. This Sage was nad Bastian, a common na for a Frenchman, he was French, with blond hair and blue eyes, exuding romance and poetic charm, attending the eting in a well-dressed suit, not forgetting to tuck a rose in his collar.
The third was nad Amor, an Italian.
Italy, after all, was once the central territory of the Roman Empire, and for a long ti was the culinary heart of Europe. So, in terms of Western cooking, Italy is the ancestral land of Western cuisine.
This Sage nad Amor was renowned among the ‘Three Sages’ for his mastery of heat control, and do not think that Western cuisine disregards the importance of heat.
Heat control is one of the most mysterious techniques for all cuisines, worthy of being considered legendary, with no limits to mastery.
After all, when humans learned to use fire and create fire, the technique of ‘control over heat’ was born.
There are rumors that these three sages are born from the sa mother, but actually, that’s not the case. They rely possess gourt cells that can sense each other.
“With the Heavenly King not entering the fray, we can exclude him, at least we don’t have to worry about a gourt war breaking out among nations,” Amor set down the bow of the violin. He had just played a slow lody, his hair and clothes impeccably grood, exuding a strong artistic aura.
“Then we…”
Master of seasoning, Bastian hesitantly asked, “Should we go?”
Karl shook his head, “We represent the IGO organization, and the IGO organization has worked hard to establish a neutral image over the years. Rashly interfering in such a large-scale hunting event might cause many chefs to harbor a grudge against the IGO organization… Haven’t we already dispatched an Elite Hunting Group? That’s enough.”
“If we don’t get it, we’ll think of other ways.”
…
Morning.
Border city checkpoint.
The traffic jam stretched at least two miles forward and back, with Xia Yu sitting cross-legged in the third row of a jeep, incessantly flipping through video materials on an iPad.
Looking at the paused fra showing a vaguely discernible biological shape in the sky, Xia Yu couldn’t help but quip: “They call this a suspected fish ingredient creature? I think it’s more like a giant tadpole version.”
Jintan Shun opened his arms, smoking a cigar, just about to say sothing when, rumbling, a grand convoy drove towards the checkpoint from the road ahead.
This convoy had military plates uniformly hanging, the booth barrier opened to let them pass, as they brought along smoke and dust, a strong scent of blood perating the air.
Many people in the traffic craned their heads, pointing at the convoy with a mix of awe and reverence.
A transport truck passed by.
Xia Yu blinked, “Are those lots of biological corpses loaded in the truck?”
Then he looked at the second transport truck, where a soldier was moving a giant wolf’s head hanging out.
Judging by the head alone, the wolf’s size was terrifying, definitely not your common prairie wolf. One was as big as a buffalo, imagine dozens running in packs, a sight that would make anyone shudder.
Not forgetting to look around, Xia Yu made a questioning noise, noticing quite a few drivers sticking half of their bodies out of the car windows to salute the passing military vehicles.
Seeing his curiosity, Jintan Shun chuckled: “Looks like you seldom go out.”
Xia Yu rubbed his head, unable to refute.
If going out referred to traveling or long journeys, then he truly could count his experiences on one hand.
“Have you noticed this border city is quite desolate?” Jintan Shun exhaled a puff of smoke, “Actually, the city is still here, and its condition is still pretty good. Once we cross this border checkpoint, you’ll realize how desolate it is in Mongolia. Or let’s say, aside from Ulaanbaatar and two or three other limited big cities, the rest of the territory has entirely beco a monster paradise.”
He pointed at the road under their feet.
“So, do you know why we aren’t taking the train but driving the jeep? This international railway line has long been cut off; the road barely remains open. Of course, to maintain the route’s openness, the border defense force often initiates cleanup operations like this, sweeping the large alien beast groups observed in surrounding areas…”
Xia Yu’s mouth slightly opened.
“So, those giant wolves on the truck are invasive species… food materials?”
“What did you think? Actually, wolf at tastes awful. However, if seasoned properly, even the rankest at can be delicious; at least for the Hua Country border military, this batch of at is quite a good welfare,” Jintan Shun shrugged and said.
“Though humans still dominate this world, who knows what the future holds? Hence, you must not live in an idealized news world. Walk more, see more, that’s how you beco a qualified Gourt Hunter.”
Afterward, the jeep proceeded through the checkpoint inspection.
On the driver’s seat, Tulip took out a Hunter license, and the ard military police standing guard imdiately saluted, allowing them to pass.
“See—”
Jintan Shun added, “Powerful hunters and the Food rcenary Corps are always welcod and given special privileges by countries, enjoying passage privileges.”
In the back seat, Xia Yu remained silent.
He had gone to Hokkaido to participate in international competitions, and from real-ti experience and observation, the monster-filled Hokkaido primitive forest didn’t seem to co with such imminent threats as this vast wilderness.
After crossing the checkpoint, they entered the forr territory of Mongolia.
The entire day thereafter, the jeep continued its journey forward; there were no more buildings on either side of the road, just endless wilderness.
But atop the wilderness, there were no cattle or horses, nor any herdsn.
When the sky was dyed orange by the sunset, the team arrived at the largest city on this plateau—Ulaanbaatar.
