"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I prepared an escape route a long time ago. I changed the stone structure at the last minute and dug out a tunnel that can only allow one human to crawl forward. If it really doesn't work, I'll run without hesitation. The mastermind won't be able to catch up."
Lu Siya seemed to be unable to see Meng Chao's grateful expression. She smirked and said, "As for the gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid you've been absorbing over the past few days, they're naturally very expensive. Even I'm reluctant to use such supreme-grade goods." But since your constitution is rather unique, we can test the effects of high-grade crystals with really domineering radiation on human cells. The valuable data we obtain will be very beneficial to the cultivation of the people in the future. So, Sky Pillar Corporation didn't suffer any losses. "
Meng Chao was a little stunned. "Unique constitution?"
"Yeah, don't you know?"
Lu Siya said expressionlessly. "Congratulations, you've become the superhuman with the fastest speed of improvement in Dragon City over the past ten years. In just a short one and a half years, you've turned from a normal person to a Heaven Realm superhuman. Even over the past half a century, people who can improve by leaps and bounds like you are very rare. You can count them on one hand."
"Is that so?"
Meng Chao was delighted, and he smiled like a morning glory.
"Don't be happy too early."
Lu Siya changed the topic and said with a stern expression, "As the saying goes, more haste makes less speed. Cultivating too quickly might not be a good thing. At the same time the spirit energy contained in a single cell increases by leaps and bounds, your bones, blood vessels, muscles, nerves, brain tissue, organs, and even your mysterious soul might not be fully prepared." The small hidden injuries caused by crazy cultivation can't even be detected by the best medical equipment, but they might still affect your future cultivation and cause you to go through spirit energy deviation, turning you into a cripple or a lost person.
"That's how the path of cultivation works. The more power you obtain, the more you have to pay, and the more risks you have to take. Over the past half a century, plenty of amazing people, geniuses, and monsters have appeared in Dragon City, but they usually don't end up well. They either go through spirit energy deviation and have their blood vessels or bones explode, forcing them to spend the rest of their lives in the ICU, or their brains are melted by spirit energy, and their minds are so twisted that they can't communicate with others. They end up as monsters in human skin, and the adjudicators have to come out to suppress them.
"As for those peerless experts who have successfully stepped into the Immortal Realm, all of them rose steadily, one step at a time. This includes us, the Nine Great Cultivation Clans. We don't advocate excessive pursuit of speed in leveling up. We don't insist on completely consolidating every level before we can break through to a new level.
"Of course, your situation is rather unique. After all, before you, no one has withstood the impact from the fierce Red Radiance Jades and Blue Origin Crystals. That's why I can't give you too many useful suggestions. I can only say that you should always pay attention to your body and mind. If there's anything wrong, you can immediately tell your tutor, doctor, or me."
Meng Chao nodded. "Honestly, I've always maintained the philosophy of cultivating one step at a time and steadily, but … it might be because I'm talented, but I'm just too fast. I can't do anything about it. I'm really troubled by it."
Lu Siya did not say anything.
She just stared at him quietly.
"Alright, I was wrong. Thank you for your concern, Big Sis Ya."
Meng Chao raised his hands in surrender and changed the topic. "By the way, I was in the hospital for a few days. How was the battle situation that night?"
Lu Siya told Meng Chao that he had been in the hospital for three days and three nights.
Thanks to him, the abnormal beasts' scheme against Noble Descent Hotel was completely ruined.
The transmigration experts in Project 101, the leaders who were passionate about investing in controllable transmigration technology, and the core members of Blue Home were all fine.
Professor Lu Tianxing, the best transmigration expert in Dragon City, Blue Home committee member Zhao Feixuan, and the others were all saved.
The fierce battles around the hotel and the southern part of the city also ended with the humans' victory before dawn arrived.
The sacrifices were naturally devastating.
The new zombie virus and Blood Flowers appeared at the same time, and they caught the Dragon Citizens off guard.
After the first wave of attacks ended, the zombies and undead appeared one after another, and they caused a lot of trouble.
But when Meng Chao destroyed the Demonic Abyss Eye's brain underground, the remaining monsters lost control of the mastermind, and they immediately returned to being ignorant, low-grade creatures. They turned into a pile of loose sand, and soon, they were harvested and suppressed by the humans with heavy firearms.
Countless citizens, the Red Dragon Army, and superhumans worked together to stabilize the frontlines. The tragedy of the undead breaking through the defense lines of the residential areas did not happen again.
After the battle, they counted the casualties. It was about the same as the super large monster invasion when the fog shrouded the entire city.
Since this was the first time the new zombies and the undead implanted with Blood Flowers were sent into the city, this number of casualties was still bearable.
The experts from the zombie research center and monster research center worked day and night to research the vaccine for the new zombie virus and the Blood Flowers' antidote.
The hunting squads formed by the Red Dragon Army and superhumans were also coming up with the corresponding strategies to target the new zombies and undead. They also came up with new regulations to prepare for war.
Meng Chao believed that the next time the new zombies, undead, and an even stronger abnormal beast army appeared, what welcomed them would be brand new and incredibly powerful humans.
"That's good. It's good that the casualties aren't high."
Meng Chao sighed in relief.
The transmigration project was safe.
Blue Home did not suffer any major losses either.
This meant that the Home Party might not walk down a radical, extreme, and criminal path.
The Home Party and Colonization Party could use legal methods to compete against each other in the Survival Committee and achieve their goal of achieving a balance.
"By the way, the … abnormal beast's mastermind is really dead, right?" Meng Chao asked.
He could not be certain whether the Demonic Abyss Eye had also obtained part of his memories when his brain had been connected to the Demonic Abyss Eye's brain at the last moment and he had obtained the Demonic Abyss Eye's memories.
If the Demonic Abyss Eye was still alive and knew the secret of his return to the past, it would be bad.
Meng Chao was not someone who was afraid of anything.
He just returned from the apocalypse. It's not like he did anything shameful.
He did not talk about it in the past because he was too weak. He was worried that he would be threatened and used by others.
Now, he had reached Heaven Realm, and Superstar and the Broken Star Club were growing nonstop. He also had Lu Siya, Li Yingzi, Gu Jianbo, Yan Hengbo, Ning Shewo, Luo Wu, the abnormal beast research department, Agricultural University's martial arts course, and a lot of other people to rely on.
If he revealed his secrets to trustworthy friends who had gone through life and death with him, it would help him change Dragon City's future, right?
However, the appearance of the X-shaped eye added some variables to the situation.
The Supernatural Entities were related to the X-shaped eye.
This meant that the source of the Supernatural Entities — or at the very least, one of the sources — might come from Dragon City.
The enemy was not just monsters.
There was also a possibility that he was one of the strongest people in Dragon City who occupied a high position.
In that case, he couldn't easily reveal any secrets. Otherwise, not only would he be in danger, but his friends who heard the secret would also fall into a treacherous whirlpool.
"Completely dead."
"More than 50% of the monster's body is made up of brain tissue. It's incredibly fragile to begin with, and your spirit flames gushed out like a volcano eruption. In an instant, you burned it to a crisp, and we couldn't even find a single piece of tissue that was slightly active. We couldn't analyze the secrets of the abnormal beast's mastermind. It's a pity."
It was only then that Meng Chao relaxed.
She then thought of an even more important matter and asked rather nervously, "What about Gao Ye? How is he?"
Compared to the Demonic Abyss Eye's death …
Meng Chao was still more concerned about whether Gao Ye was still alive.
Lu Siya put on a puzzled and conflicted expression.
After hesitating for a long time, he shook his head and said, "I'm not sure if he's dead or alive."
Meng Chao widened his eyes. "What do you mean?"
"The Ultimate Sandworm is still alive, but there's no evidence or phenomenon that can prove that its nervous system still has a human's consciousness and intelligence," Lu Siya said.
"Right now, the Ultimate Sandworm is a complete low-grade creature. Its survival habits are no different from normal sandworms. It doesn't react to our stimuli." Lu Siya said.
"Is it?"
Meng Chao felt lost.
He remembered the day he was deep underground. When the Demonic Abyss Eye's mind continued growing and turned itself into a huge fireball that wreaked havoc in the world, the shining speck of dust had been like a moth flying into a flame.
Gao Ye was the one who saved him.
He was the one who burned up his dignity and pride as a human to stop the Demonic Abyss Eye's mind attack and create a final chance for him.
He did not win against the Demonic Abyss Eye alone.
Instead, he, Gao Ye, and Lu Siya had worked together to kill it.
"Where is he now?"
Meng Chao asked. "Where is Gao Ye now?"
"If you're talking about the Ultimate Sandworm, he's currently in a special farm in the monster research center. There are super alloy walls around him, along with surveillance and alarm systems, so he should be very safe," Lu Siya said.
"Speaking of which, even though he doesn't have a human's consciousness, he seems to have broken free of the abnormal beast's control. He doesn't show any signs of aggression."
"That's good."
Meng Chao thought about it and said, "The monster research center … won't cut him up for research, right?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Lu Siya could not help but laugh. "You're in the harvesting and monster research field, so you should know just how advanced the current gene modification and biochemical technology is. The Ultimate Sandworm's new nervous system does have a lot of research value, but they don't necessarily need to kill him to research it!
"In truth, the value of a living Ultimate Sandworm is one hundred times higher than a specimen. There's no way the monster research center would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs."
"That's true."
Meng Chao sighed in relief.
He knew that he had panicked because he was too worried.
Perhaps, to Gao Ye, this was the best ending.
After all, he was the same as Lin Chuan. He had helped the evildoer and committed many mistakes that could not be fixed. Even if he lived, it would be very difficult for him to face his fellow humans.
Meng Chao decided to let his human soul sleep quietly in the depths of a monster's shell.
Perhaps one day, when Dragon City became stronger and more beautiful, humans would be able to properly solve their conflict with monsters, and they would be able to develop brand new technology to awaken Gao Ye's soul so that he could see what the new era was like.
There were endless possibilities in the future. Who said that it was impossible?
