I'm A Wasteland Giant

Chapter 26: – Activating the Nervous System!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After a night of carnage, the streets of Nanyuan City were strewn with blood. Shredded clothes and shoes were scattered around, a tragic marker of human life lost.

Elsewhere, numerous cars were left burning, some of which were destroyed in daylight. However, the majority were severely damaged by the creatures.

Just one night had reduced the pristine, civilized city to ruins, filled with the stench of blood.

As Du Gang and his team passed a star-rated hotel, they saw people watching them from above. Once those people noticed the living ones below, they withdrew from the windows in fear and fled the area.

“Should we go up and talk to them?”

Du Gang shook his head, “No, scan this building for any creatures. We’ll take any crystals we can find and leave.”

The reaction of the people above indicated their fear. They were afraid that the noise from the people below would attract the creatures and put them at risk.

“Four of them!”

“Two each, and let’s make it quick!”

He suggested that An Ya try her illusion ability on the creatures.

But An Ya didn’t want to, or perhaps she dared not to face the creatures. So, the subsequent extermination task fell solely on Du Gang and Chu Zixuan.

The people in the building above had little worth discussing. They knew less than Du Gang’s team did.

His current priority was to find the nearest police station to see if it was still holding, and whether they had received any messages from the national authorities.

So, the six of them kept moving, not engaging with anyone. They were now far from the school and a street away from the nearest police station.

Along the way, they had killed over a hundred creatures and collected over a hundred crystals.

The atmosphere among them became increasingly solemn.

Because, on the way, they did not find the corpse of a single creature.

The only things visible were traces of human blood and debris. Nothing indicated the presence of creatures, not even a drop of their unique green blood.

“Normal humans indeed stand no chance against these creatures!”

“But there must be guns at the police station. Yet, we are one street away from it and there are no creature corpses…”

A sense of foreboding grew in their hearts. They suspected that the police station may have fallen, and that firearms might do limited damage to these creatures.

“Lets distribute the crystals, and absorb them first!”

Du Gang gathered everyone at a place with roadside seats. He took out the collected crystals and distributed them amongst the others.

His ten minutes of transformation today were almost up. If he did not upgrade soon, he would no longer be capable of extracting crystals from the creatures.

He had tried extracting the crystals in his normal size before, but his strength, which was twice as great as before, failed to crack open the creature’s skull. Thankfully, he transformed in time, or else he would have capsized in the sewer.

Out of over a hundred crystals, following the 3:2:1 distribution principle, Du Gang took 31, An Ya and Chu Zixuan each took 20, and the remaining three each got ten.

“Everyone, swallow one crystal at a time. If anything changes or feels off, stop consuming… ”

“Let’s get started!”

The moment Du Gang finished his sentence, the other five began to consume their crystals without delay.

While they closed their eyes, Du Gang murmured, “Absorb”.

Instantly, the thirty-one crystals in the bag transformed into Source Energy.

[Absorbing thirty-one red Source Energy Crystals, gained 66 Source Energy points.]

As it turns out, combined with the remaining Source Energy points, he had exactly 120 points. Enough to activate a new system.

Suppressing his excitement, Du Gang opened the neurological system page in his mental skill tree and gently murmured, “Upgrade!”

Suddenly, the 100 Source Energy points disappeared, and the dark neurological system interface lit up instantly.

[Ding, Neurological system has been activated.] [Rank One Ancient God Transformation duration extends to 3 hours.]

[Neurological system upgrades to Rank One.]

[Unlock skill branches under Neurological system.]

[Skill 1: Super Brain Analysis (100) Enhance brain operation speed and analytical ability. You can deduce the truth from available conditions and subtle clues.]

[Skill 2: Dynamic Vision (100) Upgrade retinal nerves, greatly enhance vision. You will have faster nerve transmission speed and the ability to track fast-moving objects.]

[Skill 3: Space-Time Perception…]

[Note: Rank One Neurological system restricts the learning to one branching skill only.]

Almost immediately after activating the neurological system, Du Gang received all this information in his mind.

Simultaneously, he could feel the changes in his body.

The most noticeable change was coming from his senses. His hearing, smell, and vision had all improved significantly. Even his thought process appeared to be faster.

Moreover, he had a premonition that his size would be bigger the next time he transformed.

In other words, this upgrade not only granted him additional three hours for transformation, but also completely enhanced his nervous system.

The most evident change was the increased strength of his sensory nerves. Without turning around, he could smell the bloody scent from a pile of shattered fabrics on the ground ten meters away through his enhanced olfactory sense.

Compared to before when he could only detect a pungent scent, after the enhancement, he was already capable of determining a rough location merely based on the scent.

In addition to that, he had a vague feeling that his reaction speed had also significantly improved.

He skimmed over the skills under the neurological system. He could choose and upgrade one from a slew of skills at the cost of one hundred Source Energy points.

Upon further understanding, he was more interested in the Dynamic Vision ability.

Because as a humanoid creature, most of his sensations of the external world came from his vision. Enhancing Dynamic Vision, along with his neural reaction speed, was likely to double his combat effectiveness.

“What?”

Du Gang was perplexed. He had only spent a few seconds upgrading his nervous system, and they were done already?

Chu Zixuan spoke up, “An hour has passed since we started consuming the crystals. We’re done, but because your eyes were shut, we didn’t dare disturb

you… ”

“An hour?”

Du Gang glanced at him suspiciously before casting his gaze at the others.

When he turned to Ma Li and An Ya, they firmly nodded their heads, “Indeed, it has been an hour!”

He swiftly checked his phone and indeed, an hour had passed.

This discovery left him startled, and a little scared. Thankfully, he was upgrading during the day. If it had been night, he feared standing in the same spot for an hour would have led to tragedy.

But, it was a lesson learned.. Next time he activated a new system, he needed to do it in a safe place!
