Li Xiuzhu's eyes flashed with a hint of pain as he looked at the workers who participated in this research.
Some of them were cultivators from the Heaven-Defying Sect who had devoted themselves to researching aberrations, while others were researchers who were sent from Nanshan City as support.
Although they had been extremely careful, the severity of the distortion caused by the Blood Dissipating Divine Blade, a weapon created by the Plague Sect, had far exceeded Li Xiuzhu's expectations.
Even if they had taken all kinds of precautions, there were still workers who gradually lost their rationality due to the distortion, going crazy, and slowly becoming aberrations.
These people could be said to be the elites of humanity, especially those who came from Nanshan City and had participated in the research of aberrations with immortals in the past. The knowledge in their minds and the notes they had secretly hidden were all precious treasures of humanity.
At this moment, a few of the old men on the sickbeds were dictating while the workers next to them recorded them down.
One of the old men sighed. "Li Xiuzhu, after we finish recording today, let us continue our work."
Li Xiuzhu frowned slightly. "Your aberrations haven't reached the end yet. If you use the purification formation to delay it, you can live for at least one to two months."
"According to the information you learned from the immortals, that blade is called the Blood Dissipating Divine Blade."
"If you continue to come into contact with the contaminants of the Blood Dissipating Divine Blade, or even directly come into contact with the distorted object that is the Blood Dissipating Divine Blade, your situation will rapidly worsen."
"Then you want us to lie on the sickbeds and wait for death?" He raised his hand to look at it, only to see that it was already covered in dense scales.
"When the Wanderer of Tranquility went missing, the immortals and the researchers that we created were also disbanded. I was imprisoned by the Celestial Court for a full 15 years. During these 15 years, I spent every day recalling the data and information from my research. "
"That's because the data and files are the result of countless efforts and lives of all the people that have been sacrificed.
"I was afraid that I would forget these data and information after I went out."
"But when I was released, I saw that everyone was focused on cultivating and improving themselves, but almost no one was researching distortion or the aberrations themselves. We were all in despair.
At the time, we thought that humanity's research on aberrations and Tendo distortion had been completely cut off. "
"At that time, I … spent every day and night thinking, 'Is our sacrifice, our past meaningless?'"
"Humans … already have no future?"
The old man looked at Li Xiuzhu and said, "Until I met you, Li Xiuzhu. Restarting the research on mutated weapons is an epoch-making project, the hope of humanity's rise. "
"It's more like a race against time. The Righteous Gods of the Celestial Court are famous in the Book of Immortal Ascension. They hold the power of the Tendo, and they can discover the abnormalities here at any time. "
"If we can't complete the research before they find this place, everything will be over."
The elder stared into Li Xiuzhu's eyes and said, "You want us to lie on the sickbed at this time?"
Another old man with thick hair said, "Since we're all going to die anyway, leave the most dangerous job to us."
Another young staff member from the Sky Flipping Sect, whose face was covered in needles, said, "You haven't studied the distorted propagation pattern of the Blood Dissipating Sword, have you? We can be test subjects. "
"If something happens, just kill us. At least before we completely lose our rationality, we can still be of some use. "
"Rather than hiding on the bed for a few more days, we might as well make some contributions."
Looking at their serious faces, Li Xiuzhu sighed softly. "I understand. I'll make the arrangements."
"In two hours, those who are willing to return to work will gather at the number one testing ground."
A moment later, Li Xiuzhu left the ward and saw Jian Hui waiting outside.
Jian Hui looked at Li Xiuzhu with some admiration. The time he had spent in the Sky Flipping Sect was more fulfilling and exciting than all the days he had spent in the past.
This place gave him a strong sense of mission. The ever-advancing research made him feel that he was truly fighting for the advancement and future of humanity.
Li Xiuzhu asked, "What's the matter?"
Jian Hui said, "The third version of the computer has been successfully activated. They told me to call you over to take a look."
Li Xiuzhu's eyes lit up. "It's a success? Good, we'll definitely be able to use it in the research on mutated weapons. "
Jian Hui nodded. There was also some excitement in his eyes. The Sky Flipping Sect had always been committed to using daoist techniques to revive ancient technology. This computer was one of them. It was also something that Li Xiuzhu had spent a lot of manpower and resources on.
The two of them walked out excitedly. After a while, they saw Annie following them.
As Li Xiuzhu's assistant, Annie was considered a famous figure in the Sky Flipping Sect. However, her expression was a little ugly at the moment.
Li Xiuzhu asked, "What's the matter?"
Annie sighed. "He's back, but … he didn't find that."
Jian Hui felt that the atmosphere in the air had suddenly become a little strange. He hurriedly said, "Sect Master, I'll go over first. You guys can continue with your work."
Li Xiuzhu nodded at him. "Tell them that I'll be there in a while."
After Jian Hui left, Li Xiuzhu said with a serious expression, "Where is he?"
…
In Dong Hua Dao School, in the training room that Zhou Bai had rented, Zheng Wentian was eating meat buns in big mouthfuls while staring at Na Sha in front of him.
A group of staff came in one by one and started moving chairs and padding tablecloths. Exquisite dishes were placed on the table. All of them were transcendent foods made from the essence of various rare beasts and herbs. Putting aside the effects of the various transcendent ingredients, just the aroma alone was enough to make one drool.
Looking at Na Sha, who was waiting to taste the meat buns, the flames of jealousy in Zheng Wentian's heart burned fiercely. He took a bite of his big meat buns. The originally fragrant and rich taste disappeared, and it tasted like wax.
'This fellow, Zhou Bai, is indeed a lecher. We're both cultivating together, but this Na Sha can eat so well? I can only eat big meat buns? '
Zheng Wentian was a little angry. 'To think that I've treated him to so many meals in the past, and he's treating me like this now?'
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Zheng Wentian bit the meat buns harder and harder.
However, Na Sha was a little embarrassed by Zheng Wentian's stare. She looked at Zhou Bai and said, "Senior Brother Zhou, I can't eat so much alone. Why don't you let Senior Brother Zheng Wentian eat with me?"
"Ignore him. I've prepared something else for him." Zhou Bai looked at Zheng Wentian and smiled. "Your investment has returned."
