My Perverse Equivalent Exchange System In Doomsday 44 Mutant Cores

After retrieving his equipment, Long Yu drove over to the corpses of the mutant beasts.

He decided to label them as 'beasts' instead of 'monsters' since they technically evolved from animals.

After making sure that it was safe, Long Yu and Xixi got off the car. He had actually not wanted Xixi to come along as there was nothing fun about viewing corpses. But since she insisted, he didn't stop her. He had no doubt such occurrences would become the norm very quickly. Therefore, she would eventually have to face such things in the future anyway.

Seeing the little girl curiously poking the corpse of the mutant snake with a stick, he could only shake his head. It seems he had underestimated Xixi's mental fort.i.tude. Normal children her age would have run far away in tears if they saw such monstrous looking creatures.

Squatting in front of the mutant eagle's body, he directly asked the system to locate the mutant core in its body.

[The mutant core is located at its heart]

As expected, it was similar to the information Long Yu previously exchanged for. Mutant cores in bird species are mostly grown in their hearts.

Taking a sharp blade, Long Yu plunged it into the eagle's chest area and cut it open. He then stuck his hand into the wound to reach for its heart. Using a bit of force along with the sharpness of the blade, Long Yu disconnected the organ from the rest of its body.

Holding the heart his hand, he could feel a slight heat emitting from it. Without hesitation, he used the blade to once more open a wound, except this time directly on the heart.

After digging around for a bit, he finally pulled out bead sized object. Looking at the mutant core, which was still dripping with blood, he sighed in relief.

Ignoring the mutant snake corpse for the moment, Long Yu pulled up the system and immediately exchanged for a tube shaped object. Looking closely, one would realised that what the appeared in his hand, was actually a syringe.

Although his memory was hazy at that time, Long Yu recognised the syringe. It is a life saving item that prevented him from turning into a zombie.

"Big brother, what is that thing?" Xixi who was beside him asked curiously.

"Hmm… I guess you can call it a special kind of medicine," he replied after thinking for a while.

"Big brother, are you not feeling well?" she asked him with a worried look.

Long Yu just smiled and shook his head. He held the syringe in an icepick grip and slowly inserted the needle into his arm.

Half a minute after injecting the content into his body, a warm feeling started to flow inside him. Seeing the bulging red veins on the back of his hands recede, he finally relaxed.

The most urgent problem that had been on his mind was finally settled, at least for the moment.

Next, Long Yu focused his attention back on the mutant snake. He was happy to find another core in its heart as well. Rolling it between his thumb and index finger, he decided to keep it and first deal with the mutant corpses. It would be too much of a waste to just leave them be.

'System, are there any use in both these dead corpses?' he asked the system

[That depends on host's decision. However, it is advisable for host to use them for consumption rather than trading them to the system]

"Oh?" Long Yu's eyebrows raised at the system's suggestion. It was his first time seeing the system take the initiative to advise him from trading an item.

'Alright then, are there any benefits to consuming them though?'

[Yes. After consuming the flesh and organs of edible mutant creatures, it will slightly improve the physique of a person, and most importantly, also provide a slight boost in the growth of a user's special abilities]

Long Yu's eyes brightened. He did not expect that mutant corpses would provide such benefits. Looking at the mutant eagle and snake, he now felt that their fearsome and large bodies looked somewhat cute.

*Growl~*

Hearing the sound beside him, he broke into a smile. It was obviously Xixi's stomach complaining for food again.

He patted the little girl's head before standing up to survey their surroundings.

......

An hour later.

Long Yu and Xixi were now sitting in a s.p.a.ce that resembled a small dining area. The ambience and furnitures around them cried of a homely atmosphere.

Where was this place? Well, they were actually inside a large RV, which has luxurious interior s.p.a.ces that could match a home, albeit smaller.

Although it was not possible to use an RV as his main vehicle, they could always use it as a shelter instead. Of course, any additional items stored in it would have to come from the system. Otherwise they would directly fall to the ground as soon as the RV disappeared.

Furthermore, there were also several limitations when using the RV. For example, he would not dare use it unless he was absolutely sure that they were in a safe environment. Trying to stay in the RV in places infested with zombies and mutant creatures, would be courting death.

Even if he upgraded the RV to the current max like the Black Shark, its speed and defence would be far inferior to it. Once surrounded, it would be hard for them to directly switch to the Black Shark.

Moreover, he also could not openly use the storage system function in front of other people as it would attract their suspicion and greed. During doomsday, most survivors would not give a fart about human rights. If they think they can rob you of your possessions, they would not hesitate to do so. Thankfully, he currently had no other companions other than Xixi.

.....

Long Yu and Xixi sat front of each other in their respective comfortable looking sofas. Between them was a ceramic table with several dishes of food on it. Each dish had been perfectly cooked with different methods and seasonings. They ranged from steaks to stir fried shredded meat with vegetables.

Seeing the excited face of Xixi, he felt pleased with himself. His stomach was growling too and he couldn't wait to dig in as well.

Who cooked these dishes? Of course it was him, well, with the help of the system cooking skill, that is. It wasn't that his cooking was bad, as he had always made his own meals in the past. But since he could afford it, he had no reason not to exchange for them.

Plus, the main ingredients that he used today were not common ones, but from the mutant creatures' bodies. Therefore, he wanted the food to be as delicious as possible.
