Where’s Mountain Cat?
Amidst the chaos earlier, he hadn’t been able to keep track of everyone’s positions. Could it be that Mountain Cat didn’t manage to climb onto the Green Dragon and got swallowed by it?
Covered in slime and blood, Mountain Cat struggled out from the back of the Green Dragon. His hair was matted like it hadn’t been washed in weeks. He shakily stood up, raised his rifle, and grinned at Biaozi.
"I crawled in from behind the Green Dragon, made a hole in the depths, and got into the Green Dragon’s uterus before firing several rounds."
"Biao, you said to attack the weak points. I figured that was weak enough."
Biaozi was slightly stunned, then he reacted, striding over to Mountain Cat and embracing him with a grin, "Impressive, brother! You did a great job this time; no wonder the Green Dragon suddenly died."
"It’s just..." Mountain Cat looked towards a half-corpse in a corner not far away, his tone downcast, "Maozi is dead."
At this point, the gate blocking the passage slowly opened. Zhang Damei, who had been waiting outside, led the second team over to Biaozi’s side. Seeing the unmoving body of the Green Dragon, disbelief flashed in her eyes, "Dead... is it dead?"
"You killed a Level 5 monster without using mecha?"
Biaozi didn’t immediately respond to Zhang Damei. Instead, he patted Mountain Cat’s shoulder and whispered.
"Maozi never had much courage, living in doomsday was too painful for him, and death is a relief."
Then he looked up and down at Mountain Cat, whose body was a bit twisted.
"Is your injury serious?"
"Not too serious, that monster squeezed me inside, probably some fractures."
As the few were talking.
The Green Dragon lying on the ground gradually turned into dust and disappeared on the plaza, leaving only an accessory blueprint and a chip.
And the plaza was also gradually collapsing.
After quickly picking up the items dropped on the ground, Biaozi supported Mountain Cat, looked towards Zhang Damei and others, "Let’s talk once we get back, this place is about to collapse, we need to leave quickly."

Inside the Constant Star Train, Chen Mang sat calmly in his chair looking at the screen. Earlier, he had witnessed the whole process from Biaozi’s perspective. A Level 5 monster had unexpectedly appeared, blocking the plaza space below.
The train couldn’t provide support.
Biaozi and the others could only rely on themselves.
After a long time, the murmuring voice of Chen Mang came from the compartment; he originally thought perhaps the entire guard team might be annihilated under the plaza, but unexpectedly... they won.
Theoretically speaking.
Even a young boy, armed with a Level 6 weapon, has a chance of killing a Level 5 monster.
After all, if it can break through defenses, there’s a chance to kill.
But that’s just theory, the actual probability is much lower, much lower.
In actual combat, many issues can arise, and Biaozi and the others had almost no means of defense, getting hit once would be fatal. In such a circumstance, they managed to surround and kill the Level 5 monster with only one casualty, which could be considered a miracle.
"This Level 5 monster wasn’t very strong."
Ai’s voice came from the train compartment, "It had very basic attack methods, even attack blind spots. If it were a Level 5 monster from the Kunlun Mountain area, Biaozi and the others wouldn’t have survived."
"Due to being newly revived, a single swipe could only disembowel, whereas a normal Level 5 monster would have turned them into a blood mist instantly."
"That’s still impressive," Chen Mang said softly.
Several lines of text appeared again on the control panel screen.
"You’ve successfully returned the Green Dragon to its homeland, fulfilling its wish and bringing it back to its roots."
"The skeleton deep in the cavern is the true body of this Green Dragon."
"Long ago, the soul of the Green Dragon was imprisoned here, reviving in different Green Dragon bodies each time. Only by killing the Green Dragon’s soul can it truly find redemption."
"The damaged soul controlled the already decayed body."
"People always think that living is hope, not knowing that often only death is true redemption."
"It might attack you, but that wasn’t its true intention."
"The blue-grade Deep Sea Shield accessory original image, accompanied by the Green Dragon’s redemption, has been fragmented and scattered, obtainable through various means beyond just slaying the Green Dragon."
"Constant Star Train Reputation Value +100."
Chen Mang remained silent, not speaking, as Biaozi had already delivered the rewards from this encounter.
The rewards included an accessory blueprint and a chip.
The blue-grade accessory blueprint "Deep Sea Shield."
A map chip, "Dragon Castle."
Like "Resident Evil," it needs to be used with the Combat Training Virtual Space, featuring ordinary and extreme mission options, capable of enhancing physical comprehensive quality upon completion.
The rewards were not bad.
He already had this "Deep Sea Shield" accessory, so for now, the accessory blueprint would only be useful for future trade.
"Take Mountain Cat to the ’Medical Bay’ for treatment."
"Train Captain, Mountain Cat has already been treated with a ’Simple Medical Box.’
Chen Mang raised an eyebrow slightly, "The level 10 supermodel effect of the Simple Medical Box can only sew severed limbs, wasn’t Mountain Cat’s injury a fracture? How was it healed?"
"He chopped off the fractured part with a car blade fragment and then sewed it up. Under the level 10 supermodel effect of the Simple Medical Box, the misaligned bones automatically realigned."
Chen Mang’s eyelids twitched, but he said nothing more. He just operated the train, leaving the Undersea Maze and swiftly traversing the lakebed. As soon as it broke the surface, the wheels switched to Bunny Cloud, speeding into the distance through the air.
"Three aren’t enough; bring three more."
Inside Guard Carriage No. 7.
Biaozi lit three more cigarettes and stuck them into Mountain Cat’s mouth, "They have pain-relieving effects. Feeling better now?"
"Much... much better."
Mountain Cat, wrapped in bandages and twitching occasionally, lay on the bunk, pale-faced with sweat the size of soybeans dotting his forehead. The fractures were all healed, but... it hurt... hurt so much...
Thankfully, there were cigarettes to ease the pain, or else he would have passed out from the pain a long time ago.
Mei Jia, her eyes red-rimmed, knelt by Mountain Cat’s bed, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a warm towel, holding his hand tightly, her lips moving slightly but ultimately saying nothing.
Mountain Cat, lying on the bed, grinned and patted Mei Jia’s head, "All the wounds on my body are healed now; it’s just a little painful. By this afternoon, it should be fine."
"You go back to your room first; this place is full of men, it’s not proper for a woman to stay here, go on back."
With tear-filled eyes, Mei Jia nodded, turned, and walked towards the refrigerator.
Accompanied by Ai, Chen Mang passed through several carriages and reached Guard Carriage No. 7, sitting on the bed opposite Mountain Cat, speaking softly, "How are you feeling now?"
Seeing Master Mang, Mountain Cat immediately struggled to get up from the bed, leaning against the wall nervously.
"The injuries are all healed and I’m ready to go."
"If you’re badly injured again , use the Medical Bay; there’s not much iron ore, but the Constant Star Train won’t be unable to provide resources for the guards’ treatment."
"Hmm..." Mountain Cat wanted to explain something, but after seeing Biaozi’s gaze, he swallowed back the words he intended to say, only nodding weakly.
Chen Mang didn’t linger long, standing up and looking at Biaozi.
"A new map has been added to the Combat Training Virtual Space, take the team members and clear all the ordinary missions as soon as possible, enhance their physical comprehensive quality as much as possible."
"If you all had been piloting mechas."
"It wouldn’t have been this ugly."
