Chapter 325 - The Moving Mutated Farmer’s Market
Exodus Tales
Exodus Tales
It was no wonder that when Wei Xiao Bei discharged arcs of electricity he could only faintly hear the frightening scream. He had been totally focused on dealing with the giant cow and therefore barely noticed it, though he was starting to vividly recall it now.
After killing the giant flesh cow, the Mutated Farmer’s Market was agitated. Wei Xiao Bei found this totally normal.
This wasn’t the first time he had enraged it. When he killed the Mao An Ge previously, the Mutated Farmer’s Market was certainly not happy.
The Divine White Mist Great Spear even stole some of the Mutated Farmer’s Market divine power. Based on his understanding of the Mutated Farmer’s Market, this divine power was its lifeblood.
Simply put, if someone stole the qi in Wei Xiao Bei’s veins how would he react?
Or, what if someone stole his evolution points? He would definitely fall into a rage.
Based on that, if given the opportunity the Mutated Farmer’s Market would love to grind Wei Xiao Bei’s bones to dust.
As such, new trouble had arisen. It was that the Mutated Farmer’s Market was now moving toward him!
This made Wei Xiao Bei feel troubled.
To Wei Xiao Bei, the Mutated Farmer’s Market was eerie, mysterious, and terrifyingly powerful. However, it had one fatal weakness.
Being a structure-type monster, it couldn’t move!
In Wei Xiao Bei’s opinion, anything that couldn’t move can be beaten with ease.
In the naval era, even the strongest cannons couldn’t do much to a warship cruising the seas.
A warship could barrage a cannon and leisurely leave, but the cannon had to wait for the warship to enter its firing range before it could do even the slightest bit of damage.
In situations where movement faced stillness, if it weren’t for a large difference in power between the two sides, a cannon could never fight against a warship, let alone pursue it.
Before, he had only dared to run next to the Mutated Farmer’s Market and throw the steel object because it couldn’t move.
The Mutated Farmer’s Market could only get hit and was unable to retaliate. Wei Xiao Bei could face it worry-free by using hit and run tactics.
But now the Mutated Farmer’s Market was moving!
As such, Wei Xiao Bei didn’t dare to be careless. After he returned to the rooftop, he grabbed the Shan Bing, who was about to ask some questions, and hoisted him atop his shoulder. He then hopped atop the wall and jumped down from the parapet.
Shan Bing wasn’t mentally prepared for Wei Xiao Bei’s actions. Just as he was about to question him, Wei Xiao Bei put him on his shoulder and jumped.
Shan Bing was cursing internally. Because he was falling rapidly he was unable to scream for help, let alone curse aloud.
When they were 10 meters away from the ground, Wei Xiao Bei kicked off the wall and the pair started flying horizontally, like an arrow.
Wei Xiao Bei soon landed on the ground and continued to slide forward another 30 meters. Shan Bing recovered from his shock and shouted at his kidnapper, “What are you doing? If you want to kill yourself don’t drag me along!”
Wei Xiao Bei didn’t even bother with him and continued to run forward. The only reply he deigned to give was, “If you want to die, I can leave you here.”
His inexplicably creepy tone made Shan Bing shudder, so he couldn’t raise the courage to ask any more questions. He instead looked around at his surroundings, unsure of what to think.
Wei Xiao Bei didn’t dare to delay for even a moment. He rushed forward along the street.
With just this small effort, Wei Xiao Bei had already run a few kilometers away from the plaza.
However, he suddenly felt a violent aura appear behind him.
Wei Xiao Bei frowned, and he came to a sudden stop. After a moment of hesitation, he turned back, hurrying toward the nearest building.
“What the hell are you doing? You told me to come if I didn’t want to die, yet it seems as though you are now seeking death?”
Shan Bing couldn’t help but shout at him.
Although he didn’t know why Wei Xiao Bei was escaping after killing the giant cow, he was fairly certain they were running for their lives to escape another danger.
It could be said that he now considered Wei Xiao Bei a godly being. Someone who looked quite ordinary at first glance was able to kill such a giant cow. Such an occurrence was unexplainable by any existing scientific theory.
Even if he were to use modern firearms, he’d probably not be able to kill that giant cow.
After he saw the giant cow’s flesh fall off but still be able to jump around with fervor, his perspective changed greatly.
Shan Bing wouldn’t find it strange if Wei Xiao Bei suddenly sprouted a pair of wings on his back right now.
For a problem to exist that could make Wei Xiao Bei flee meant that the problem was without a doubt truly terrifying.
Therefore, he couldn’t understand why Wei Xiao Bei wanted to go back toward it.
Wei Xiao Bei had already arrived in front of a building. Both his legs slammed against the ground causing him to fly up for about 20 meters, landing on the wall. Adjusting his posture, he continued to rush up the wall.
This building was familiar to Shan Bing. He remembered why very quickly.
It seemed that it was his company’s headquarters, the Hua Yang Building.
All these questions caused Shan Bing’s brain to enter a contemplative state. He even forgot about he was rapid ascent toward the sky.
Shan Bing was quite different from other people. He wasn’t very courageous, yet at times, he had nerves of steel.
As the Hua Yang Real Estate Group was the leading enterprise in Cui Hu real estate, it was natural that their headquarters, the Hua Yang Building would be bigger than most other buildings.
To highlight the power of the Hua Yang Group, their building had a fixed height of thirty-five stories during the initial stages of construction. But because another building was going to have a height of thirty-eight stories, the Hua Yang Building’s blueprint changed significantly until, in the end, its height was a total of forty-three stories!
The Hua Yang Building could be considered the tallest building in Cui Hu City.
The surrounding buildings were smaller than Hua Yang Building by a large margin. Standing on its rooftop, one had quite an impressive view of the city.
The height of an office floor was normally between 3.6 and 3.9 meters, and the Hua Yang Building’s floors had a height of 3.8 meters.
As such, Hua Yang Building’s height was around 180 meters.
Such a tall building was no challenge to Wei Xiao Bei. Shan Bing felt as though they reached the rooftop in less than ten seconds.
During this process, Shan Bing vomited once.
It was a little too stimulating for Shan Bing to be carried by Wei Xiao Bei in such a way after entering the Dust World.
Wei Xiao Bei didn’t even pay attention to Shan Bing. After putting him down and letting him vomit over the parapet, he moved toward the direction where two powerful auras were clashing against one another.
Due to the Hua Yang Building’s height, Wei Xiao Bei could easily see what he wanted to.
In the distance, the Mutated Farmer’s Market was moving toward the plaza with great haste.
The way the Mutated Farmer’s Market moved was different from how Wei Xiao Bei imagined it would.
Simply put, it was moving as a whole. The cement floor of the entire Mutated Farmer’s Market had become a layer of paste, driving the sheds in the market forward.
Its speed, however, wasn’t very fast. It was around the average walking speed of a human.
In the moving process though, the Mutated Farmer’s Market was actually moving at a speed closer to a slug. This was because when it encountered a building that was difficult to cross over, the paste-like concrete floor would act like a tidal wave, spreading quickly and covering the buildings blocking its path.
After that, the cement floor of the market would continuously expand. Tall bumps slowly emerged until they eventually broke through the concrete floor and buildings started to appear one after the other.
As these buildings had emerged from the cement floor of the Mutated Farmer’s Market, these buildings became part of the Mutated Farmer’s market and moved along with it.
Any buildings in its way were swallowed up by the Mutated Farmer’s Market and became part of it.
Of course, it didn’t engulf buildings on a whim. It seemed to prefer high-rise structures, like office buildings, rather than small shops or domestic dwellings.
Perhaps it preferred the office buildings due to them being taller than its own steel-framed structure.
When it encountered new office buildings, it would abandon the low-rise buildings and swallow up the newly encountered office buildings.
To be honest, Wei Xiao Bei felt a chill run down his spine after seeing this scene.
He suddenly found that he disliked this type of opponent.
The Mutated Farmer’s Market was like a greedy slime. While it was moving forward, it swallowed all the buildings it deemed good and made them become part of its body.
This type of monster was unlike any Wei Xiao Bei had seen before.
Other monsters had a body, but the body of the Mutated Farmer’s Market was a building made of reinforced concrete which was continuously expanding. Wherever it went, buildings would disappear and transform into a part of it, leaving nothing behind.
To deal with such a monster now after it had strengthened itself to such a degree was a daunting task for Wei Xiao Bei. He had no chance to win whatsoever!
Wei Xiao Bei observed it for a while longer. His brain began to form a plan, as he activated his [Precise Calculation] and calculated the precise route of the Mutated Farmer’s market, to help in the plan’s formation.
