Chapter 1470
This monster isn't stupid!
"Instructor, this monster..."
Daigo looked at Ritmarus with some concern.
After all, this monster can spray acid.
That thing can melt a hole in a steel plate with a sizzling sound. If it were locked up in a base and suddenly went berserk, the scene would be too gruesome to watch.
but……
"Don't worry, Daigo, acid... is the thing we're least afraid of."
Choi Myung patted Daigo on the shoulder, his expression as relaxed as if he were saying that the cafeteria had braised pork today.
He wasn't lying.
On the EDF side, the enemy's most common attack method is acid that can dissolve tanks.
Those alien insects, mutated monsters, and aliens crawling out of the ground all seemed to have eaten a lot of chewing gum, opening their mouths to spray a mouthful of green, strong acid all over the battlefield.
Therefore, EDF is truly the best in the world when it comes to equipment resistant to acid corrosion!
While other units were still figuring out how to prevent their armor from rusting, EDF soldiers were already soaking in acid pools while wearing acid-resistant armor.
The equipment was as thick as a tortoise shell, with a special nano-neutralizing coating on the inside. No matter if it was a strong acid, a weak acid, or aqua regia, it wouldn't leave a single white mark when sprayed on it.
Litmarus acid spray is indeed very strong.
One bite, and the abandoned car is instantly turned into molten iron.
Unfortunately for it, EDF is the one that truly counters it!
Cui Ming had even started planning to go back and have a muzzle made for this big guy, along with a collar, and then attach it to the exhaust vent in the industrial zone.
perfect.
However... Littlemarus does have a good eye.
It huddled in the corner of the transport vehicle, its two long whip tentacles neatly wrapped around its body, not daring to move an inch.
That upside-down, bizarre body trembled, and its eyes—if you can call them eyes—sneaked in Cui Ming's direction.
As soon as Cui Ming turned its head slightly, it immediately buried its head in its tentacles and pretended to be dead.
Of course, it could also be because the way Gudun got beaten up left a deep impression on it.
Gaia's combo punches were brutal and deadly; Gudun is still lying in that crater.
Litmarus grew increasingly frightened, and his tentacles trembled even more violently.
It made the decision.
From then on, Cui Ming was its master.
Let it eat exhaust fumes, then it will eat exhaust fumes.
Make it spray acid.
Make it stand upside down...
Never mind, it was meant to be upside down anyway.
Woo woo woo.
Having a government-affiliated position is really great.
At least I won't get beaten up.
Litmarus shrank even further, trying to minimize his presence.
It just wants to be a living air purifier quietly.
Really.
Cui Ming glanced at it and nodded in satisfaction.
"Very well-behaved."
"Much better than some unruly kids."
In a sense, Littlemarus has joined the human camp.
This guy's daily job is to squat in the newly built exhaust gas treatment center of TPC, open the mouth on the top of his body, and frantically suck in car exhaust fumes through rows of specially designed exhaust pipes.
He looked like a homeless person who hadn't had a full meal in decades who had fallen into a buffet restaurant.
They ate with such gusto!
For this reason, Cui Ming even specially grabbed Horii and pointed at Littlemarus's insatiable nature.
"Get it some extra food equipment."
Horii initially refused.
"Instructor, I'm a scientist, not a monster keeper!"
But Choi Myung just smiled and patted his shoulder, a smile that sent a chill down Horii's spine.
"If you don't go, I'll let Tom go to your lab for a visit."
Horii immediately chickened out.
"I'll go! I'll go right away! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Three days later, Horii tinkered with a device that increased the speed of absorbing exhaust gas.
That thing looked like a giant hairdryer. It was connected to an exhaust pipe and then poured a torrent of liquid into Littlemarus's mouth.
The wind was so strong that it could draw in all the car exhaust fumes within a ten-mile radius, condense them into a concentrated essence, and force them directly into Litmarus's mouth.
For Littlemarus, this is a god-tier food source!!!
When it was first used, its whole body turned purple with excitement.
Two long whip tentacles lashed wildly, cracking the ground with loud thuds, while the upside-down, bizarre body twisted and turned as if dancing disco.
"Awooo—!!!"
It let out a satisfied roar.
The voice carried a sense of happiness, gratitude, and a bittersweet feeling of "finally being able to eat my fill."
Both the humans and Littlemarus were very satisfied!
Win-win!
Do not!
Triple win!
Nature is also very satisfied!
Since Litmarus took office, the air quality index in the surrounding cities has plummeted... no, it's plummeted!
Previously, PM2.5 data reports were as red as a stock market crash, but now they are as blue as the deep sea.
The people at the Environmental Protection Bureau are all smiles every day, hugging and kissing their data reports.
"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!"
"This monster is more effective than ten sewage treatment plants!"
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content each day, Litmarus would lie down in the processing center, coiling his tentacles into a circle, and snoring loudly.
Occasionally, when reporters come to interview it, it will raise its head and burp at the camera.
The burp was full of fresh air.
Horii stood in the monitoring room, looking at the green environmental indicators on the screen, pushed up his glasses, and looked proud.
"The device I invented is indeed amazing."
Cui Ming took a sip of tea and nodded.
"Great, I'll give you a bonus next month."
Horii's eyes lit up.
"Really?"
"real."
Cui Ming put down his teacup and looked out the window at the big guy that was happily bubbling away.
"After all, it can make monsters work willingly and also satisfy nature."
"This deal was worth it."
Litmarus rolled over in the distance, patting the ground with its tentacles as if applauding.
It felt that life was structured.
very nice.
The exhaust fumes smell really good.
Woo woo woo.
Many people came to see this Little Marus, thinking that this monster... might be delicious.
The main reason is that everyone has eaten the Twin-Tailed Monster, and it's really delicious!
No wonder the Gudun ethnic group has always kept this in mind.
On this day, the waste gas treatment center welcomed a group of special visitors.
Misato Katsuragi, with a lollipop dangling from her lips, leaned against the railing, squinting as she surveyed the massive machine below that was frantically inhaling exhaust fumes.
"This thing... looks a lot like a two-tailed monster."
She turned to look at Asuka beside her.
Asuka crossed her arms, looking disgusted.
"How is it similar? The Two-Tailed Monster looks much better! And the Two-Tailed Monster's meat is sweet when roasted, this..."
She sniffed.
"It smells strongly of gasoline."
Aiba Miyuki stood on the other side, tilting her head, her eyes innocent yet dangerous.
"But it should be edible after some processing, right? My brother said that things that look like two-tailed monsters aren't too bad to eat."
Saeko Busujima smiled slightly and placed her hand on the hilt of her sword.
"If it misbehaves, I can help prepare the ingredients."
Of course, they wouldn't actually eat it; after all, this thing is a monster made of waste gas, clearly different from the two-tailed monster. (End of Chapter)
