Leveling Up With My Pet

Chapter 291 Updated Genetic Medicine(Yellow)

?

Liu Yong's heart skipped a beat as he absorbed Giles' revelation. The realization dawned upon him, connecting the dots of his earlier confusion. It seemed that Giles had Yan Kingdom blood running through his veins, and his impeccable Mandarin skills resulted from his father's teachings. Liu Yong understood the significance of this newfound information, recognizing its advantages to their mission.

Speaking in Mandarin would make communication more comfortable, but Liu Yong couldn't help but feel self-conscious about his limited English proficiency. He struggled to express himself clearly, his broken English making it challenging to convey his thoughts effectively.

Giles took the lead in providing crucial information about their target, Alfred. According to their investigation, Alfred was currently located in a small town named Turki, which was under the control of the Rhodes Armed Forces.

Approximately 150 to 200 armed personnel and armoured vehicles, tanks, and heavy weapons were stationed there. Liu Yong listened attentively, absorbing every detail.

To Liu Yong's surprise, he was already familiar with the location of Turki, knowing it to be approximately 500 kilometres away. Impressed by Giles' competence, Liu Yong decided to extend an invitation. He turned to Giles and asked, "We plan to launch an attack on Alfred. Would you be interested in joining us?"

Giles, showing his astuteness, didn't rush to accept the offer or inquire about the reward. Instead, he questioned Liu Yong about the number of people involved in the mission. Liu Yong responded, "There are three of us."

The revelation left Giles visibly taken aback. He warned Liu Yong, "Mr. Liu, there are at least 150 militants in the small town of Turki."

Unperturbed, Liu Yong confidently replied, "So what if there are 150 militants? In fact, the three of us are more than enough. With your assistance, I want you to help me in the fight. In return you will be rewarded with 1 million dollar."

Giles couldn't help but be enticed by the offer. As a mercenary driven by monetary gains, the prospect of earning $1 million for this mission was tempting. It might even be enough for him to retire comfortably after completing the job. Succumbing to the temptation, Giles agreed, saying, "Okay, I promise you."

Liu Yong's satisfaction was evident as a smile spread across his face. With Giles, who was familiar with the situation, joining their ranks, their mission became considerably more convenient. However, Liu Yong couldn't help but wish for a few more individuals to strengthen their team. He asked Giles, "Could you help me find two more people? Each of them will be rewarded with $500,000. Additionally, we'll need assistance in acquiring a helicopter."

Without hesitation, Giles replied, "Okay, I'll get on it right away."

While belonging to the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, members were allowed to engage in private work. This practice was common among the group's leaders, and Giles was no exception.

Once Giles had departed, Liu Yong reached into his pocket and retrieved two small glass bottles. He handed them to his companions, Kang Zhenggang and He Qiang, and said, "Drink this. It will further enhance your strength, as we may face a tough battle today."

Excitement welled up in Kang Zhenggang and He Qiang as they recognized the contents of the glass bottles—genetic medicine. Although the previous batch had been in blue bottles, the liquid was housed in yellow ones this time. They wondered if there was any difference between the two.

Liu Yong explained, "This is an enhanced version of the genetic medicine. Upon consumption, your physical abilities will be significantly improved."

Realizing they were about to consume an enhanced version of the medicine further heightened their excitement. Expressing their gratitude, Kang Zhenggang and He Qiang drank the contents of the bottles without hesitation, noticing a pleasant, slightly sweet taste.

Meanwhile, Liu Yong accessed his pet panel and allocated 500 points each to Kang Zhenggang and He Qiang, enhancing their strength, constitution, and agility. Previously, they had received 200 points each, which had already elevated them to superhuman levels. Now, with an additional 500 points, they indeed became supermen.

Together with their previous enhancements, their strength attribute alone approached nearly 800 points. Such incredible strength enabled them to hurl cars more than ten meters away with bare hands.

With agility attributes nearing 800 points, their speed and reflexes became extraordinary. Their opponents would find it near impossible to land a hit on them, as their reaction speed surpassed human capabilities.

Moreover, possessing physical attributes close to 800 points had significant benefits. Their robust physiques became almost immune to sickness, and their endurance levels became astonishing. Running several hundred kilometres without a break would be a trivial feat.

At this moment, Kang Zhenggang and He Qiang had become superhumans, thanks to Liu Yong's enhancements. While Liu Yong could have allocated even higher attributes, he believed 500 points were more than sufficient. Apart from himself, no one could match their newfound power in this world.

Giles returned in less than an hour, demonstrating his efficiency. Two mercenaries from the Wolf Mercenary Corps were accompanying him—one black and one white. Additionally, they had managed to secure a rented helicopter, albeit at a high cost of $100,000. Without bargaining, Liu Yong swiftly agreed to the terms.

Now, with a team of six individuals, they boarded the helicopter and set off towards Turki. The helicopter's speed was impressive, allowing them to cover the 500-kilometre distance in under two hours.

As the helicopter descended to a lower altitude, the vast expanse of desert and Gobi stretched out beneath them, a monotonous landscape that had accompanied them throughout their journey. A mere twenty to thirty kilometres ahead lay the small town of Turki. Lowering their flying altitude even further, the helicopter almost skimmed the surface of the desert to maintain stealth.

Upon reaching the rear of a small hill, the helicopter landed. Giles explained to Liu Yong, saying, "Mr. Liu, you can see Turki clearly from this hill. It's merely three or four kilometers away."

Liu Yong nodded in acknowledgment. Once the helicopter departed, Liu Yong began assigning tasks and dividing responsibilities.

Giles and the other two mercenaries would act as support, primarily carrying weapons and ammunition for Liu Yong's team while also serving as perimeter defence. Giles and his comrades loaded themselves with a considerable arsenal, following closely behind Liu Yong, Kang Zhenggang, and He Qiang as they ascended the hill together.

At the hill's peak, Liu Yong used a telescope to observe the small town of Turki. Comprising mainly low-rise buildings, it appeared more like a small village than a town. Liu Yong's gaze focused on the armed elements present, failing to spot any local villagers.

Decisively, Liu Yong declared, "Bring ample ammunition. Let's go, Giles, stay close."

Kang Zhenggang and He Qiang were armed with assault rifles, pistols, and multiple grenades. Their ammunition supplies were plentiful, but they lacked bulletproof vests. Liu Yong armed himself similarly, wielding an assault rifle equipped with several magazines.

"Let's move out!" Liu Yong commanded.

With Liu Yong taking the lead, the group surged forward towards Turki at an astonishing speed. It would take them merely two or three seconds to cover 100 meters. Giles and his two companions stood in awe, their mouths agape. How were these humans capable of such swiftness?

To their astonishment, Kang Zhenggang and He Qiang displayed similar agility, trailing only slightly behind Liu Yong. The three figures appeared as black shadows darting across the terrain, rapidly closing the distance between themselves and the small town of Turki.

Still immersed in their shock, Giles and his comrades only snapped out of it when they heard the sound of gunshots.

-DANG! DANG!
