Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 6: A ray of hope at the end of the tunnel, the Monster Corpse Processing Center
"It's so cool!"

In this world, is there anything more satisfying than improving your strength for free?
You don't need to fight yourself, just stroll around the battlefield and your strength will increase.

Qin Ming's eyes lit up as he looked at the monster corpses that were continuously transported in.

Just a few trucks, nothing compared to the corpses on the entire battlefield.

"Brother, do you know where these bodies are sent to be disposed of? I'm a student at the First Military Academy in Jiangnan, and I'm planning to write a paper on the recovery of battlefield monster corpses."

After getting used to the changes in his body, Qin Ming walked up to the soldier who was guiding the route and asked.

"Junior? I'm Yang Xu, class of 2051, from the Jiangnan First Military Academy. Ruo, just follow the convoy. All the bodies will be sorted and processed there."

The strong master soldier turned to look at Qin Ming, his eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately spoke enthusiastically.

"So it's my senior, I'm Qin Ming!"

Qin Ming also smiled and said that many graduates of the Jiangnan First Military Academy went directly into the military, so it was not surprising to meet a senior here.

"You're from the School of Biology, right? Then you've come to the right place. There isn't much else here, but there are a lot of monsters, so it's convenient for any research you want.

You can just take some monster meat and grill it yourself.

There are many of your seniors there."

Yang Xu pointed in a direction and smiled.

"Can you still take it away?"

Qin Ming was shocked. Monster meat shouldn’t be cheap, right?
"Hahaha, it might not work in other places, but it doesn't matter in our Base 003. As long as you don't take the high-value ones and don't waste them.

No one cares about some beast soldiers and monster meat."

As he spoke, Yang Xu also gave a brief explanation, which made Qin Ming sigh.

Base No. 003 controls the largest entrance for sea monsters to enter the inland. Those sea monsters are always trying to enter the inland through here.

Every three to five days, the sea monster will launch a small-scale attack similar to the one last night.

Thousands or even tens of thousands of monster corpses were left behind at a time.

The bodies of sea monsters are extremely large. Some beast general-level ones can weigh more than ten tons or even dozens of tons, and they are very easy to deteriorate.

Even if we eat monster meat every meal in the base, we still can’t finish it.

These monsters are not simply seeking death.

Instead, they are driven by the lord-level and king-level monsters in the ocean to consume the ammunition reserves in the war base and continuously bleed humans.

Looking for the right opportunity will lead to a large-scale beast tide.

Lord-level and king-level monsters are no less intelligent than humans.

They knew very well that War Base No. 003 was an enclave, far away from the six major bases, and supply was very difficult.

How long does it take for humans to train a soldier?

How long does it take for a monster to grow in the ocean?

Most fish lay tens of thousands to millions of eggs at a time, and they can grow to their full size in a few months.

The number of monsters killed or injured in each attack is not as great as the number of monsters killed in battles with each other.

“We can’t transport all of this monster meat back to the rear base. After all, the journey is too long. We can only transport the most valuable ones back to the rear when the supply convoy arrives.

Most of the rest was processed nearby, part of it was eaten and part of it was used to refine Kro alloy.

Even so, there are still many things that cannot be handled.

Look at those that have been shattered or contaminated by heavy artillery, incendiary bombs, etc. Not only are they unusable, but even their value for refining Kro alloy is very low."

Yang Xu pointed with some regret at the monster flesh and blood that was dragged back in a heavy truck. The monster flesh and blood in the truck had almost been burnt, mixed with monster internal organs, and gave off an extremely unpleasant smell.

The flesh and blood corpses of these monsters cannot be thrown into the sea and can only be burned. Otherwise, they will be devoured by monsters, and more monsters will be born.

For this reason, a large incinerator at the base is almost always running.

These are not secrets in Base 003. You will know them as long as you stay there for a while.

"So that's how it is. Thank you, Senior. I'll go over there and take a look. I've never seen a monster corpse so close, especially the corpse of a bone-eating python.

That's a high-level beast general."

Qin Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this. The monster resources in Base 003 were so abundant that they were about to be burned!
My Ten Thousand Souls Banner shouldn't be disgusted by those contaminated flesh and blood, right?
Following the direction pointed by Yang Xu, Qin Ming followed the heavy truck all the way to the monster processing center.

It is called a monster processing center, but it is actually an extra-large open-air platform. Some monster corpses of better quality are piled together, and a large number of soldiers shuttle through it, cutting them up with various instruments.

Including the corpse of the giant bone-eating python, it is all there, but placed in a separate area.

All monster corpses will be initially sorted here before being transported to other places.

Qin Ming had no sneaky thoughts and walked straight up to the soldiers standing guard outside and explained his purpose.

If possible, he would go in and take a look.

If not, then wait until you become a warrior.

There are many rules in the military. You can't do whatever you want. Sometimes, even if you want to help, you can't.

Qin Ming was lucky. The title of the No. 1 Military Academy in Jiangnan was still very useful because many officers and warriors in Base 003 came from there.

After verifying his identity, he was let in.

Even one of the seniors, Meng Hao, who also graduated from the Biology Department of the Jiangnan First Military Academy, personally took Qin Ming on a tour before assigning him a job of cutting up monster meat.

"These are the corpses of low-level beast soldier-level monsters. You can use them to practice and extract some of the more precious materials.

For example, this armored shrimp skull has the most valuable part of its body, but unfortunately, the most precious skull was shattered by a heavy machine gun."

A thin young man wearing protective clothing spoke to a shrimp monster that was about three meters long, covered with a shell and weighed several tons.

The skull of this skull shrimp has been broken and most of its head is missing.

"No problem, thank you, Brother Meng."

At this moment, Qin Ming also changed into a protective suit, holding a long knife specially used for cutting in his hand, and separated the flesh and scales under the guidance of the young man.

I have to put on a full show. Since I got in under the name of a biology student, of course I have to work.

Especially when he saw the number of living souls in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner soaring to more than 2000, Qin Ming became even more motivated. These were all collected by Meng Hao when he was with him at the Monster Processing Center.

The overwhelming surge of souls made Qin Ming's eyes shine.

This is not a monster processing center, this is his treasure land!

Since I can't go to the battlefield to clean up the corpses, wouldn't it be better to go to the monster processing center?
"I'm going to be busy somewhere else now. Call me if you need anything."

Seeing that Qin Ming's movements were quite skillful, Meng Hao nodded and stopped paying attention to it. After all, it was just some worthless low-level monster flesh and blood.

"Okay! Brother Meng, you go ahead and get busy!"

Watching Meng Hao walking away, Qin Ming lowered his head and continued to process the flesh and blood of the armored shrimp.

He cut the long knife in his hand into the body of the bone shrimp, and the entire arm penetrated into the flesh and blood. The Ten Thousand Souls Banner in the sea of ​​consciousness moved without wind.

A faint blood mist flew from the body of the bone shrimp into Qin Ming's arm, and was refined into the purest essence of blood and flesh by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and then turned into a blood-colored airflow and flowed into Qin Ming's body.

"Hiss! Is this the essence of flesh and blood?"

Qin Ming clearly felt that when the blood-colored airflow flowed through his body, every cell was greedily devouring the energy contained in it.

His physical fitness is improving rapidly!
