Catastrophe Containment Facility-Chapter 59 The Rooster and the Tortoise

59: Chapter 59 The Rooster and the Tortoise

59 -59 The Rooster and the Tortoise

The giant centipede over a meter thick collapsed on the ground, its hard and sharp carapace unmarred by a single wound, but upon closer inspection, one would realize that its insides had already liquefied, leaving behind nothing more than an intimidating shell.

Upon the corpse of the centipede, Lin Zheyuan sat with a look of decay, blowing smoke rings from his mouth, feeling somewhat exhausted now.

This centipede was one of the strongest creatures within the amusement park, its combat ability surpassing even that of Ge Du, who had not yet recovered from serious injuries, which is why Lin Zheyuan had to expend a great deal of effort to deal with it.

According to the danger ratings of the Hunter Association for monsters, this centipede was of Disaster Level, equivalent to a superpower user at the level of Assimilation, its very existence a calamity to the real world.

As a person responsible for a city, the fact that Lin Zheyuan could handle a monster of this level on his own proved him to be quite powerful.

But before he could finish his post-battle cigarette, an ominous aura poured over him like a bucket of cold water, causing the hand holding his cigarette to tremble slightly.

“Hey…

this has got to be against the rules, right?

Even for people with Profane Blood, this is going too far!”

Lin Zheyuan looked at the tall Ferris wheel, shivering slightly, and he finally understood the layout of the amusement park: it was not just for sacrifice to the Overlord behind the scenes, but also to summon an even more powerful monster!

“Now I can only try to kill the summoner before that thing arrives, otherwise not a single person in this amusement park…

no, not a single person nearby will survive!”

“I have to fight with all I’ve got!”

He tossed away the cigarette in his hand, his figure rapidly expanding and transforming until he finally became a bizarre green eyeball floating in the air, over two meters in diameter!

Crinkled reddish tendrils, like nerves, grew on the backside of the eyeball, making it look like a vivid sea urchin from the back.

Assimilation level, Eye of True Knowledge!

…

“Prosperity, Democracy, Civility, Harmony, Freedom, Equality, Justice, Rule of Law…”

The aura only existed for a very short time, but its impact lasted much longer.

With great effort, Wen Wen managed to compose himself, sweat already beading on his forehead.

For a moment, he had the urge to return to where the statues were, to tear Tao Wen Li Dazhuang apart with his bare hands and then send him to the Sanctuary to be devoured by monsters!

“It’s too dangerous; the situation has changed, and I can’t stay here any longer.”

Wen Wen was determined to leave, preferring death over becoming a monster that couldn’t control itself. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Once you take that step, even if you retain all that makes you human, you’re no longer a human being!

Wen Wen only needed to protect himself.

He didn’t mind saving lives but wasn’t noble enough to sacrifice himself for others.

Coming to this amusement park, it would be best if he could save people, but if not, he would have done his best.

With such dangerous entities present, every second he stayed put him one step closer to madness or death.

Just as he was about to leave, the Catastrophe Gloves materialized on their own, conveying an unusual sensation to him, the first time Wen Wen sensed emotion, or perhaps a demand, from them.

Hunger, craving; they needed something, and what they needed was deep within the Furong River Paradise, and they wanted Wen Wen to acquire that thing.

Standing still, Wen Wen’s face shifted between shades, weighing the pros and cons.

Initially, Wen Wen’s own safety and sanity held slightly more weight on the scale, tipping the balance against saving others and seeking thrills.

But with the need of the Catastrophe Containment Facility added, Wen Wen had to do some additional calculation.

Wen Wen owed his current strength entirely to the Catastrophe Containment Facility, and if he managed to get what the Facility wanted this time, maybe he could unlock more permissions and become even stronger.

Inherently not being overly cautious about his life, his pursuit of battles with monsters was like walking on the edge of a knife.

When facing opponents of similar strength, he never ran away; he just didn’t want to waste his life in a battle he was sure to lose.

The Sanctuary hadn’t forced Wen Wen to acquire that thing, but its yearning was conveyed to Wen Wen’s heart, compelling him to consider it.

After thinking it over, Wen Wen decided not to flee for now and wait until after he had obtained that thing to leave.

Following the guidance of the Sanctuary, Wen Wen headed deeper into Furong River Amusement Park, but there was a distance left to the huge Ferris wheel.

Along the way, Wen Wen occasionally detected the presence of ordinary people, who, influenced by that aura, became slightly abnormal.

They were still human, but somewhere deep in their souls, things might be a bit different.

After bypassing several superpower users or monsters locked in combat, he arrived at the entrance of an underground Haunted House.

This place was a section of Furong River Amusement Park that had been abandoned.

The Haunted House area was hastily fenced off with barriers, overgrown with wild weeds, and had no signage.

The land inside the amusement park should be quite costly, so why was there such a waste of space here… There might be an issue.

Well, since the Catastrophe Gloves were pointing here, it’s almost certain that there was a problem.

Wen Wen was about to stride in, grab the item, and leave when suddenly his eyelids twitched fiercely, and he quickly crouched down.

A beam of golden light whisked past his scalp, taking some hairs with it.

“Lucky I didn’t use the physique of the Guile Tree Spirit, or losing these few strands of hair might have really hurt,” Wen Wen complained as he stood up.

He knew that the quest for that thing wouldn’t be easy.

“Cluck, cluck, cluck…”

A giant rooster as tall as a man walked out of the Haunted House with elegant steps, as proud as a peacock.

This rooster had golden-yellow feathers all over, with a scarlet comb that seemed to be dripping blood, and a beak that faintly revealed a row of sharp teeth, showing that it was not a vegetarian.

Behind the rooster, there was an even larger shadow hunched over that ordinary people couldn’t see clearly, but Wen Wen saw it distinctly.

It was a giant turtle about a meter tall, with limbs and head covered in fish-scale-like golden plates, and its gaping maw filled with sharp teeth, totally unlike the common turtle.

“That comb could make enough for two dishes, and that big turtle…

hiss, it should make a good soup,” Wen Wen thought, first making sure he hadn’t been shrunk, as he looked at the oversized rooster and turtle.

“Human, do you wish to live?

Make me happy, and I will spare you,” the giant rooster stated proudly, its voice resembling an ancient eunuch’s.

Wen Wen’s expression was odd.

Had he encountered another freakish monster?

But monsters, inherently alien to humans, being freakish was normal.

“How can I make you happy?”

“Compliment me!” the giant rooster declared with its head held high.

“…the rooster is so beautiful?”

After thinking for a while, Wen Wen barely squeezed out those few words.

Normally, it was already good if he didn’t mock others, but to compliment?
