Survival in Space: I have Hundredfold Enhancement - Chapter 17

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, and it sounded very dense.

Grimm did not have time to decompose the mechanical equipment. He picked up the Gatlin and rushed out.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Grimm saw a large group of monsters swarming over from the depths of the tunnel.

Under the dim light, Grimm saw that the monsters all had hard skin, four strong legs, no eyes on their heads, and big mouths, but they were tightly closed.

Although they were inside the base, it was still a vacuum environment. To be able to survive in such an environment meant that they had a strong adaptability.

But…

“The weapon in my hand is the heavy firepower Gatlin!”

Grimm sneered, picked up Gatlin and began to fire fiercely.

Da Da Da Da Da..

The monsters gathered in the tunnel, which instead allowed Grimm to not need to aim accurately.

Bullets poured out rapidly. The monsters on the other side kept pushing forward, but in less than 10 seconds, more than 10 monsters in the front row were mercilessly killed by machine gun bullets.

Grimm thought that the other monsters would continue to rush over. However, the monsters at the back saw that Grimm’s firepower was too strong, actually turned around and fled one by one.

“Run? The base is only so big. Let’s see where you can run to!”

He did not continue to chase after them. The reason was very simple. Grimm wanted to check if these monsters that had just been killed could be decomposed into materials.

Grimm approached the corpse of a monster and began to check.

[ Acquired: giant-mouthed eyeless beast (corpse) x 1! ]

[ Giant-mouthed eyeless beast ]

[ Description: a low-level monster that can withstand a vacuum environment. When hungry, one can eat pieces of eyeless beast meat. However, it has minor toxicity. Consuming it will cause a non-fatal headache! ]

“This thing… Only a fool would eat it!”

Grimm shook his head. He was about to give up when he suddenly paused.

“I won’t eat it, but it doesn’t mean that others won’t eat it too!”

There were still countless players who could not fill their stomachs. Even if this thing was poisonous, it could still satisfy their hunger. There were probably countless people who would fight over it.

In that case, this food can not be wasted!

Grimm smiled slightly and squatted down to use the kinetic arm of the exoskeleton to dissect the corpse.

[ Obtained: eyeless beast meat x 4! ]

[ Obtained: eyeless beast meat x 4! ]

…

In one breath, Grimm dissected all 20 large-mouthed eyeless beast corpses on the ground. He obtained a total of 80 pieces of eyeless beast meat.

Next, he opened the trading center.

[ Eyeless beast meat x 1, trading dense alloy x 2! ]

Grimm copied 80 pieces of the same trade in one breath. Then, he opened the communication channel and released a message to the players.

[ I have eyeless beast meat. Those without food can buy it for two dense alloys! ]

As soon as Grimm sent the message, he received a trade notification.

[ Trade successful. Obtained: dense alloy x 2! ]

“So fast?”

Just when Grimm was puzzled, he saw someone curse him in the communication center.

[ Holy shit! I was wondering why the food was so cheap. When I bought it back, it was f*cking poisonous! ]

[ Poisonous? Then forget it! ]

[ Isn’t this scamming? ! ]

Grimm was unhappy when he heard what they said.

[ If there’s no poison, can it be sold at such a low price? If you want to take small advantages, don’t buy it. I’ve said it clearly. The meat of the eyeless beast is poisonous, but it won’t kill you. It’s only a slight headache. This price has some side effects. It won’t be a loss if you buy it to save your life! ]

[ This… Alright, I’m really starving! ]

[ I want two. It’s better to be poisoned than to starve to death! ]

[ I just ate one. Although it’s a headache, it doesn’t seem to have much of an effect! ]

Seeing that someone had already tested the poison, those players who didn’t have any food began to rush to buy.

Grimm had just logged out of the communication channel when he saw a series of trade notifications.

In less than five minutes, the 80 pieces of eyeless beast meat in his hand were sold out.

“What the hell? It’s this popular?”

Grimm smiled. There were still so many large-mouthed eyeless beasts that hadn’t been killed yet. If he killed all of them and sold their meat, he could also make a fortune!

This huge-mouthed eyeless beast did not have much attack power. It would die instantly if his Gatlin swept it. Grimm could not give up on such an easy prey.

He quickly disassembled the mechanical equipment in the previous room. After obtaining some alloys and a few mechanical modules, he continued walking toward the interior of the tunnel.

However, this group of huge-mouthed eyeless beasts were too timid. They did not dare to come out after having just killed 20 of their companions.

Following the passage, Grimm entered a few more rooms and dissected some basic materials. However, he didn’t see any hidden treasure chests.

After a while, he came to a corner of the passage and turned around. It was the same narrow and long passage again.

It was the same here. There was a room at every period of distance.

Originally, Grimm thought that he wouldn’t find any important materials. However, when he dissected the mechanical equipment in a room, he found a treasure chest hidden behind the mechanical equipment.

“Hidden Treasure Chest?”

Grimm smiled and quickly opened the treasure chest.

[ You have opened the hidden treasure chest x 1! ]

[ Acquired: Base Identity Card x 1! ]

“Base Identity Card?”

Grimm was slightly stunned and quickly checked the description of the item.

[ Base identity card ]

[ Description: can be used to open the automatic gate in the base, only for the current base. ]

“I see!”

Grimm smiled and put away the black card.

He continued to walk forward and came to another corner. On the other side of the corner, Grimm saw a wide space.

“This…”

He saw that this wide room was filled with human skeletons. Beside the piles of skeletons, there were groups of large-mouthed eyeless beasts.

They saw Grimm. They scurried off in all directions, but the floodgates on the opposite side were tightly closed. They had nowhere to run.

“Did I fall into a sheep pen?”

Grimm smiled. There were a total of fifty to sixty large-mouthed eyeless beasts in this huge room. Moreover, they had nowhere to hide and could be easily slaughtered.

After this round of harvesting, he would be able to make a huge profit in the trading center!

Grimm did not hesitate and directly opened fire!

Da Da Da Da Da da..

Bullets flew out from Gatlin’s gun barrel. One by one, the eyeless beasts were killed in an instant.

The other eyeless beasts fled in panic, but there was no way to escape. They rushed towards Grimm’s direction and were immediately turned into corpses by more than ten bullets.

In less than two minutes, the monsters here were cleaned up completely.

However, just when Grimm was full of joy, a loud sound suddenly came from behind the closed gate.

Bang!

In an instant, the entire space trembled.

Grimm saw that the closed gate had obviously been smashed and protruded a little.

“What the hell? What kind of abnormal monster is locked in here?”

Bang!

Another loud sound.

The gate protruded again, but it was still not broken.

Then, the thing that was locked inside tried a few more times. Seeing that there was no way to open the gate, it walked away slowly with heavy footsteps.

“It seems… that the real danger is behind this gate!”

Grimm let out a sigh of relief and decided not to enter the gate for the time being. He would first clean up the materials here.
