Chapter 26: Life is Hopeless
In the end, Su Chen prevented a catastrophic event from happening in the prison. He only scared Sheepdog on purpose. However, what he didn't expect was that Sheepdog fainted from fear on his own. After the Hounds left the prison, Su Chen slapped Sheepdog awake.
"This is your last chance. If you don't say anything or lie, the next thing you'll face will be those Hounds from earlier."
As soon as Sheepdog woke up, he quickly checked his rear end. When he realized it didn't hurt, he breathed a sigh of relief. He definitely didn't want to experience what had just happened again. As a male dog with ideals and aspirations, how could he face his harem if he had been...you know.
"I'll talk, I'll talk. I don't know who the strongest Mutant Beast in the Mutant Beast group is, but the strongest in this area is a seventh-order Mutant Beast named Jade Fox King. It's very cunning and doesn't allow any Mutant Beast to challenge its position. Any Mutant Beast that has challenged it in the past has met a terrible end."
"There are at least two digits of eighth-order Mutant Beasts, three digits of seventh-order Mutant Beasts, and countless sixth-order Mutant Beasts. Mutant Beasts like me, who are only third-order, are everywhere. To the adults, I'm just a fart."
Sheepdog begged for mercy. He didn't expect that attacking a small Gathering Place would lead to encountering such a powerful Mutant Beast. Why was his life so miserable?
After hearing Sheepdog's information, Su Chen's face darkened. There are definitely no more than 10 eighth-order Transcendents among humans, and no more than 50 seventh-order Transcendents. There are at most a few hundred sixth-order Transcendents. With such a huge gap in numbers, how could they win?
Humans have been lucky to survive until now. If Mutant Beasts had attacked humans together, humans would have ceased to exist long ago.
"Why do you attack Gathering Places? What's in it for you?" Su Chen was puzzled. Attacking Gathering Places would only allow them to eat some humans, which wasn't necessary for them.
Each attack resulted in the deaths of many Mutant Beasts, which should have been more trouble than it was worth.Sheepdog didn't seem to want to say, but he had no choice. "My superior told me. It was a plan proposed by a Mutant Beast boss. They said they wanted to slowly wear down human strength like boiling a frog in water. When all the Gathering Places were destroyed, it would be the end of the human base city."
Su Chen felt a chill down his back. It was originally a human plan, but it had become so powerful in the hands of Mutant Beasts. Moreover, no one had discovered this in so many years. They had always thought that there was something wrong with the Mutant Beasts.
It turns out that this was a trap set by the Mutant Beasts for humans. Wait a minute, only high-level officials should know about this plan. How did a small third-order Sheepdog know about it, even if it had some special abilities?
Sheepdog smiled awkwardly. "Actually, my superior is...my father-in-law."
Su Chen's eye twitched. So, after all that, you're just a son-in-law who likes to eavesdrop? If humans didn't know about this plan, it might actually be realized by the Mutant Beasts. Humans didn't have much of a sense of crisis about this situation. Only when the enemy was at the gates would they feel like it was the end of the world.
In other words, only when the knife was at their throats would they know what it felt like. The life and death of the Gathering Places had nothing to do with the base city. Even if many people died, the base city wouldn't care.
The Gathering Places were originally places where people who couldn't enter the base city had no choice but to go. If they could enter the base city, who would want to stay outside where their lives weren't guaranteed?
If Su Chen hadn't learned about this plan from Sheepdog, humans might not have known until they were extinct.
"It seems that your Mutant Beasts are evolving quickly to come up with such a plan," Su Chen sighed.
In just thirty years, Mutant Beasts evolved from races with little intelligence to possessing intelligence no less than humans. This evolution speed is too unreasonable. No one knows what caused Mutant Beasts to evolve so quickly. All people know is that one day, animals suddenly became Mutant Beasts, and some Transcendents also appeared among humans. Since then, the world has changed.
Su Chen doesn't care about the situation here. Anyone who dares to provoke him will be killed!
Sheepdog didn't speak. It had already said everything it knew. It can be said that it is now a traitor to Mutant Beasts. Once Mutant Beasts find out, its fate will be very miserable.
Looking at Sheepdog's helpless expression, Su Chen suddenly had an idea.
If he used Sheepdog to infiltrate Mutant Beast's forces and kill other Mutant Beasts, wouldn't that be a natural thing to do?
Su Chen has always been worried that killing too many Mutant Beasts would attract the attention of powerful Mutant Beasts. Currently, his strength is not very strong, and he can only kill Mutant Beasts without fear when he is truly powerful.
But now there is a problem. How can he control Sheepdog and make it obedient?
"If Sheepdog doesn't listen, he can't do anything. System, is there any way to control this Sheepdog?"
"Master, the mind controller can meet your needs."
Su Chen's face darkened. This thing is a super weapon. If he has it, he probably has a nuclear bomb Weather Control Device. Why does he need to control Sheepdog?
He felt unhappy and wanted to throw a nuclear bomb down to make the world quiet.
Just when Su Chen was struggling, he seemed to think of something.
Sheepdog is a Mutant Beast, but its appearance has not changed much. So, his Hounds are also Mutant Beasts. Can't he use Hounds to impersonate Mutant Beasts and infiltrate?
Su Chen gave himself a thumbs up for his idea, and then shouted outside, "Su Yi, you find a few brothers to kill this dog and have dog meat hot pot tonight."
Upon hearing this, Sheepdog fainted on the spot.
Afterwards, Su Chen produced one hundred Hounds according to his own ideas. Dahua led the team to pretend to be Mutant Beasts and infiltrate the Mutant Beast group. Whenever there was an opportunity, they would take the initiative to start a fight and kill the opponent.
The enemies killed by Red Alert units would be counted on Su Chen's head, which means he would get energy.
"Erhua, Dahua has left. Now you are the head of the base. You are responsible for all the Hounds here. Do you understand?" Su Chen patted Erhua's head and said.
"Woof!"
Erhua was very excited. Big brother has left, and now it's finally time for it to show itself. As long as it performs well and is noticed by the Commander, it can finally reach the pinnacle of its dog life, which is no longer a dream.
