Catastrophe Containment Facility-Chapter 66 Disaster Level
66: Chapter 66 Disaster Level
66 -66 Disaster Level
Rising from a pile of insects, Wen Wen touched his chest, his eyes somewhat vacant.
“…I think I just died, and why did the Catastrophe Gloves move on their own…”
He stood up and walked to his gear, switched to vampire mode, put on his underwear, and gathered his equipment.
After that, Wen Wen lifted his shirt to inspect his chest and poked it lightly twice.
“It’s soft and still pale and tender, thankfully there’s no bulging, otherwise how could I live…”
“It seems to have regrown, so what just happened wasn’t an illusion.
It looks like it stuffed that energy heart into my chest…
But where is my original heart?”
Wen Wen sighed and then shook his head.
Now wasn’t the time to think about this; he didn’t know how long he had been unconscious for, nor what the outside had turned into.
He walked out of the haunted house and discovered that Paradise had been restored to order.
The public was either having their memories erased or undergoing further investigations, led by assistants in black uniforms.
He then saw Lin Zheyuan sitting on a cartoon statue of a beautiful woman laying on the ground and greeted him in his own way.
“Hey, why are you streaking here, and wearing random pants?
Aren’t you afraid of catching diseases like syphilis and hemorrhoids…”
The hand Lin Zheyuan had the cigarette in shook slightly, and his expression was a bit stiff.
How did he know I have hemorrhoids?
“If you don’t speak up, no one will think you’re a mute.
You’re the one with hemorrhoids!”
Although feeling a bit guilty, Lin Zheyuan still retorted and then, noting Wen Wen’s disheveled appearance covered in what seemed to be chicken blood, asked in surprise, “Why are you here?
You didn’t answer when I called you earlier.”
“Heh, at that time I was busy with some things I couldn’t tell you about, couldn’t take calls.
But I still came to help you out.
This time I took care of three monsters, and you can’t shortchange me on the reward.”
Wen Wen omitted the part about the Catastrophe Gloves destroying the energy core; if the Hunter Association found out, it would inevitably lead to trouble.
“Alright, I’ll credit you for your efforts.
You won’t miss out on any benefits.
Have you really not considered joining our Hunters Association?
You are very well-suited for the job.”
Despite still having some doubts about Wen Wen, Lin Zheyuan set them aside to acknowledge his help this time.
“Forget it.
If it’s like those crazy women wandering around freely, being a Ranger is still okay, but being confined here as a regular Demon Hunter is not for me,” Wen Wen shrugged.
“Who are you calling a crazy woman?” Gu Panxi appeared behind Wen Wen and punched him directly.
Despite being hit, Wen Wen still had to grin and apologize.
“I’ve already taken care of the matriarch loss, so I’ll make it worth your while!” Gu Panxi said mysteriously after punching Wen Wen.
“What’s the good stuff?” Wen Wen’s eyes lit up.
If she said it was good, then it had to be something special.
“You’ll know when the time comes, it won’t disappoint you.” After speaking, Gu Panxi left Wen Wen’s side.
There were many ordinary people who had seen her in her angel form, and their gazes made her uncomfortable there.
“See, it’s a good thing I didn’t join your Hunters Association.
Both risking our lives to protect this city, coming over to help gets a reward, while you native Demon Hunters might face punishment.”
Wen Wen also sat on the cartoon beauty statue, with Lin Zheyuan sitting on the hip and Wen Wen on top of the chest.
“I hate to admit it, but you’re right.”
Lin Zheyuan sighed, though he had no complaints; his job was to protect the city, while Gu Panxi’s task was to hunt monsters.
He failed to protect, while Gu Panxi succeeded in hunting.
Although they were doing the same thing, the outcomes were different.
“Speaking of which, we were fairly lucky this time.
That Catastrophe Level monster didn’t manage to descend successfully; otherwise, I wouldn’t be here worrying about possible punishment from the Association, but would have died right here.”
“Catastrophe Level…
Was that terrifying aura what you referred to as a Catastrophe Level monster?” Wen Wen frowned and said.
“That’s right, at least Catastrophe Level, it might even be stronger.”
Lin Zheyuan discarded his cigarette butt and lit up another half a cigarette, putting it in his mouth.
After the fierce battle, his cigarettes were all over the place, but he wouldn’t waste them.
These cigarettes were not cheap.
Catastrophe…
Wen Wen’s brow furrowed.
Was this the Hunter Association’s internal classification method for monsters?
His Sanctuary was called Catastrophe Containment Facility, and the activated areas within the Sanctuary were Disaster Area and Catastrophe Area…
so this Catastrophe Level…
“Could you describe to me what a Catastrophe Level monster is like?” Wen Wen ventured to ask.
“You probably don’t know yet, which is fine.
There’s no secret to keep anyway,” Lin Zheyuan said, adjusting his position:
“Just like the classification for superpower users, monsters are also divided into five levels: Calamity Level, Disaster Level, Catastrophe Level, and last of all, Calamity Level!”
Wen Wen nodded as if nothing was new, but his heart was churning with shock.
Calamity Level, Disaster Level, wasn’t that precisely matching the currently activated Disaster Area and the soon-to-be-opened Catastrophe Area?
The classification system used by the Hunter Association for monsters was exactly the same as the Catastrophe Containment Facility!
Could there be a secret connection between the two?
After the Catastrophe Area, would there be an activation of the Disaster Area and the Catastrophe Zone?
“The so-called Calamity Level corresponds to superpower users who are at the Exploration Realm.
They can cause trouble, but are relatively easy to deal with,”
“Disaster Level is like the Bewitching Clown Grandi we encountered before.
If left alone, it would cause serious trouble.”
“Disaster Level, if neglected, might eventually threaten an entire city, leading to an irreversible catastrophe.”
“While a Catastrophe Level monster, just from the energy it exudes, is enough to cause mutations in ordinary people, you know about the Talgan Desert?”
Wen Wen pondered for a moment, “One of the four great deserts of the Capital District, created by thousands of years of wind erosion and the loss of vegetation…”
“Yes, that’s what the textbooks say,” Lin Zheyuan said as he discarded his cigarette, which was gone after just a few puffs.
Wen Wen raised an eyebrow, “Are you suggesting the true situation is different?”
“Of course.
It was once a fertile land, until a foolish native tribe summoned a zombie from the Inner World…”
“What does a zombie have to do with a desert?”
“This zombie was called Drought Fiend, its level was Catastrophe Level.
Where its feet tread, miles turned to barren land!”
“Back then there was no Hunter Association, and it took the Creation Church decades to seal that monster away, but by then, thousands of acres of fertile land had turned into endless desert!”
Wen Wen was somewhat shocked.
Calamity and Disaster Levels were still acceptable, and the Disaster Level like Ge Du was bearable, but why did it seem like stepping into the Mythical Realm with Catastrophe Level?
“If Catastrophe Level is so strong, what about the last one, Calamity Level?”
“Calamity Level…
at least I don’t know if a Calamity Level monster has ever descended upon reality, because the standard set within the Hunter Association for Calamity Level is…
the end of the world!”
