“Forerunners?”

Their eyes lit up instantly, and Rookie hurriedly asked, “We heard from Captain Yunxiao and Bai Jingqi about the forerunners and forerunners’ family before, who exactly are they?”

“This…”

Yao Zhixue hesitated for a moment before saying: “I only heard Sister Yunxiao mention something, according to her, all forerunners are survivors of the great calamity that happened more than three hundred years ago.”

“The weakest forerunner has a strength that is at epic level, that is, LV79 and above!”

“What?”

“A survivor who has lived for more than three hundred years!”

“How is that possible?”

“The great calamity… It took place over three hundred and sixty years ago, can a person really live that long?”

Yao Zhixue shrugged,” I don’t know.”

The group was skeptical, and yet Zheng Cheng was starting to believe.

Even an ordinary person could live up to a hundred and forty or fifty years old just by maintaining a balanced diet and frequent exercise.

Especially in this world that has experienced the revival of spiritual energy and the drastic changes in natural laws.

There must be numerous methods or items that could enhance lifespan and vitality.

Moreover, the forerunners were veterans who have survived since the period of the great calamity, and they would have countless treasures in their possession. Having a few more unique items that could enhance lifespan wasn’t a big deal.

Therefore, it was quite possible that the forerunners were epic, even legendary-level survivors from the period of the great calamity!

“Alright, let’s not discuss this anymore.”

Zheng Cheng glanced at the ocean, which was still raging in the distance, and said, “I’ll continue collecting the ears of the Inferior Tribe. You guys can rest here.”

“I’ve just conducted reconnaissance. Within an eight hundred meter radius, there are no enemies. You all can rest assuredly.”

“Brother Cheng, I’ll go with you!”

“I’ll go too.”

Rookie and Chen Xiao both shouted, but Zheng Cheng shook his head and said, “Forget it, you guys should rest.”

“The Adrenaline Excitement Technique hasn’t worn off yet; don’t run around.”

Then, he looked towards Chen Zixiong and Yang Lie.

Both of them seemed perplexed and, eventually, they reluctantly raised their hands and said, “Fine, you go rest, we’ll go with the captain to collect.”

“We’ve been affected by the Adrenaline Excitement Technique too, but at least we haven’t charged into battle; the sequelae won’t be too severe.”

The three men descended the stairs back onto the beach, where the black sea in the distance was still a shocking sight.

Through the pale blue luminescence of the star-locking grand array, they could even see aquatic creatures writhing in the sea.

While Chen Zixiong and Yang Lie were still in shock, Zheng Cheng had already arrived at the location where the Inferior Tribe professionist had been killed.

Meanwhile, he also inspected the special ingredient he had just acquired.

[Special Ingredient: Inferior Tribe Brain Marrow]

[Quality: Five Stars]

[Effect: Permanent increase of 8 spirit points, all resistance +1% (excluding light, thunder), body mutation rate +0.0001%, limited to twenty servings.]

[Specification: Humans who have mutated due to nuclear radiation exposure; their flesh and spirit have been tormented by radiation year after year. They eventually mutated into a new race.]

[Note: There’s an extremely small chance of body mutations after consumption. The mutated part is unpredictable. However, with the current star-level Inferior Tribe flesh, if one’s physical fitness and spirit reach 110 points, they can resist these mutations.]

“The same race, but different special ingredients…”

As he looked at the meatball in his hand which had a striking resemblance to minced shrimp sticks, Zheng Cheng subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Damn it!

Who would dare to eat this brain stuff!

Although he had heard of a dish mainly made from monkey brains in his previous life, he had never seen it!

“Brain marrow…”

After seeing the brain marrow, which could boost spirit points by 8, Zheng Cheng eventually decided to keep it.

“There’s no rush… We’ll see after we’ve collected enough special ingredients.”

“At least twenty!”

“And also…”

Zheng Cheng pondered while looking at several corpses, “Inferior Tribe tentacles and Inferior Tribe brain marrow, two completely different special ingredients.”

“The tentacles were dissected from an Inferior Tribe member that had no limbs, and the Inferior Tribe brain marrow was dissected from a two-headed Inferior Tribe corpse.”

“Could it be, Inferior Tribes with different mutations yield different ingredients upon dissection?”

With this question in mind, he began to dissect the other Inferior Tribe professionists.

[Skill Utilization Failed!]

[Skill Utilization Failed!]

[Skill Utilization Succeeded!]

[You’ve Acquired Special Ingredient: Inferior Tribe Tentacle!]

“Hmm?”

Zheng Cheng’s eyes lit up, “Another tentacle!”

After some dissection, he collected three tentacles and two pieces of brain marrow, all of which he stored in his spatial ring.

In addition, he also collected more than a hundred left ears of the Inferior Tribe members.

Chen Zixiong and Yang Lie also managed to cut off over a hundred ears from the Inferior Tribe each.

“Let’s go back.”

Zheng Cheng took a glance at the still raging black sea in the distance and shook his head: “Let’s go back and rest. We will continue to explore Izu Island tomorrow.”

Just then, a steady and clear voice rang out from above the star-locking array.

“Attention all Blue Star professionists, attention all Blue Star professionists…”

“What’s happening?”

Everyone looked up in surprise, “It’s the voice of Senior Xin Ruhuo!”

“What is he trying to say?”

“Everyone can hear it!”

“The Inferior Tribe in the Radiation Island devised the Jade-Breaking Plan and the Blood Sacrifice Plan to resist us. I have now dismantled the former.”

“There is no need to panic about the nuclear bomb, especially the exam takers participating in this year’s joint entrance exam for new professionists. The explosion of the nuclear bomb will not affect the islands where you are located.”

“The Jade-Breaking Plan has been dismantled, but the Blood Sacrifice Plan is still in effect.”
