Chapter 73 Damian

Damian couldn't hold on for too long. Those who haven't experienced it will never understand how intense the human fear of hunger is. It's a torment stronger than pain.

In times of famine, some people would gnaw on grass roots and bark, or even inedible kaolin clay, to resist hunger. They knew that eating this soil would make their stomachs sick and lead to death, but they couldn't resist the intense hunger coming from their stomachs, bodies, and minds.

Under the threat of hunger, some humans even resorted to cannibalism, exchanging children to eat…

Among the ways to die, "starving to death" may not seem as violent and cruel as "being beheaded or poisoned," but only those who have experienced it know that the former brings long and profound suffering. If someone who had starved to death were given the chance to choose a way to die again, they would choose to jump off a building or take poison.

When Li Tianran got up for the fourth time to cut off a piece of leg of lamb, Damian couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up, strode to the dining table, stared straight at Li Tianran, and said, "We need food and supplies. We're about to faint from hunger."

Li Tianran paused, then looked at Damian with a smile, and asked, "I can give you food, but what can you give me?"

"I gave you the design data for the Tyrannosaurus Rex single-soldier armor. It's priceless," Damian said.

"I said that was the fee for rescuing you," Li Tianran wiped the grease from his fingers with a wet wipe, then used a knife to pick up a piece of lamb and handed it to Damian, saying, "If you want food, you have to trade it for something new."

"What do you have?" Li Tianran asked.

Faced with Li Tianran's question, Damian was silent for a moment, then pointed to his head and said, "I only have myself."

"Let's talk frankly!" Li Tianran said, "If you work for me, I will provide for your and your family's needs. I guarantee that you can eat the freshest vegetables and meat every day, and the living environment can reach the level of a star-rated hotel."

Damian glared at Li Tianran: "That's all? My value can only be exchanged for the most basic living security?"

"Basic living security?" Li Tianran shook his head: "If this were a time of peace, this would indeed be nothing, but this is a time of riots. These things are not so-called 'basic living security,' but your lifeline. In other words… it's your life."

Li Tianran raised the lamb in his hand, looked at Damian, and said with a light smile, "The value of an item changes with the urgency of the need… This thing was worthless to you six months ago, but for you now, it's worth a hundred million."

"This price is too low, I need…" Damian bit his lip, wanting to fight for some more benefits for himself.

"You can take your time to consider it, a day is fine… ten days is fine." Li Tianran interrupted Damian and turned his head to continue cutting the leg of lamb. "Just give me an answer before your family can't hold on any longer."

Li Tianran's words were too lethal. Damian realized that he had no bargaining chips at all.

From the moment he was brought to Kuangxi Island, his fate was completely in Li Tianran's hands.

"I want twenty jin of the freshest beef and ten jin of bacon, as well as two roast turkeys and cheesecake… I also want fried chicken and all-meat ham…" Damian closed his eyes, then reopened them, and then, as if he had made a decision, bent slightly at the waist and said sincerely, "Please give me a job!"

A smile gradually appeared on Li Tianran's face, then slowly turned into a big laugh.

He stood up and extended his hand to Damian, saying, "I accept your job application."

…

Port of Markde.

This is an important military fortress of the European Union, an important part of the EU's national western defense line. The legion stationed here is also known as the "611 Legion" of the ace navy. It not only has a large number of warships and fighter jets, but also, in an era of rapid changes in the world situation, a force of 800 Awakened individuals has been assigned to guard the port.

The commander of this port has repeatedly claimed that the Port of Markde will be the strongest iron wall in the European Union. Even if one day the entire western defense line of the European Union collapses, the Port of Markde will be the only fortress that can stand to the end in the storm.

Late at night on the 18th, two o'clock in the morning.

The dark night shrouded the port, and the light of the lighthouse in the boundless darkness was like a tiny firefly, flickering as if it was about to be swallowed by the darkness.

The sea was very calm.

A scout stood on top of the lighthouse, using night vision goggles to observe the movement on the sea.

"The sea is calm tonight," the white soldier said with a smile to his companion. "It seems that those monsters have been frightened by us recently and are no longer as active as before!"

"I have seen the warriors of the Seven-Corner Continent fight with my own eyes. Those Beast Kings are slaughtered like chicks in front of them. Faced with this kind of combat power, the Beast Kings will also be afraid." The companion's tone was very proud: "We will soon be able to completely defeat the Beast Kings and completely raise that group of monsters like chickens and ducks!"

"Hahaha…" the white soldier laughed.

At this moment, a ripple appeared on the calm sea.

The ripples were small at first, but in just ten seconds, the ripples had expanded to a terrifying range, and the entire sea surface began to vibrate.

"Di Di Di!"

Crazy warning signals came from the sonar equipment.

In the central control room, someone immediately sounded the alarm, and the piercing air raid siren resounded throughout the port.

"Beast King night attack!" The white soldier immediately realized what the uneasiness on the sea came from. At this time, less than five seconds after the alarm sounded, huge whirlpools appeared on the sea in front of the entire port, and terrifying black shadows swept past in the whirlpools!

Ka Ka Ka!

Along with the sound of mechanical collisions, a large number of ground-based artillery and machine gun groups were ready.

"The Seven-Corner Continent troops are here!" The white soldier saw on the land in front of the port, a whole team of tall warriors wearing special combat uniforms standing upright. Facing the terrifying whirlpool that was slowly approaching the port, the steel knives in their hands reflected a dark and cold light.

One hundred Seven-Corner Continent warriors stood there, holding steel knives and looking ahead.

They were very familiar with the movement in front of them.

That was a sign that the beast tide was about to land. They had seen this scene many times, and they had defeated this kind of attack many times.

"Come on! Monsters… start landing, and then die under our knives!" the Seven-Corner Continent Awakened warrior muttered in a low voice.

The terrifying whirlpool finally approached the port.

But strangely, in an instant, it seemed like the whole world had become quiet.

In an instant, the Seven-Corner Continent Awakened warriors could no longer hear the sound of the seawater that was close at hand and was creating huge waves.

The next moment, a heaven-shattering sound like the end of the world rang out.

That was… the roars of countless Beast Kings at the same time!

Terrifying brainwave surges came like a landslide and tsunami. Fires broke out continuously in the port, countless electronic devices collapsed in an instant, and even the warships docked in the port lost control!

This was a terrifying disaster!

What shattered along with the countless electronic devices in the port were the anti-electromagnetic helmets of the Seven-Corner Continent warriors closest to the landing point, and… their brains.

A full one hundred Awakened warriors, now with blood overflowing from their nostrils and ears, their eyes rolled back, fell down one after another, like sections of logs that had been cut off!

When the Beast Kings show weakness, the human-organized troops, mainly composed of atavistic Awakened individuals, can wantonly slaughter the Beast Kings.

When the Beast Kings truly show their terrifying power, what will the human Awakened troops do when facing them?

The scene in front of them showed this result to the world in a bloody manner.

It was being…

Instantly killed without any resistance!
