After paying 30,000 yuan, one could become a permanent resident of the Soaring Cloud City. However, one could only stay in Area C. If the residents in Area C did not have any special talents, were not mutants, or researchers, and did not want to become soldiers, they would have to spend 300,000 yuan to enter Area B. There were many ways to accumulate wealth.
The most profitable way was to hunt monsters. In the Soaring Cloud City, wild beasts above the Rare rank were called demons. A Rare-ranked demon's entire body was a treasure, and soul gems were even more valuable. This was because the mechanical core of the Soaring Cloud City could convert soul gems into energy. A Rare-ranked soul gem could maintain the armored walls of the Soaring Cloud City for a day.
Of course, soul gems could not be used up so easily. They were precious items that had to be used at critical moments. Su Xiaoyu reminded him, "As long as you reveal your identity as a mutant, you can enter Area B easily.
Su Xiaoyu reminded him, "As long as you reveal your identity as a mutant, you can easily enter Zone B. There are grades among mutants. If your level is higher, you will receive better treatment. There is only one S-level mutant in the Soaring Cloud City, and that is the most famous prophet scientist in the Soaring Cloud City, Zhao Pingfan."
Wei Huo was confused. "Prophet? An S-rank mutant? What about Ma Tengyun? "
Su Xiaoyu sighed softly. Only Wei Huo would call Ma Tengyun by his name in the Soaring Cloud City. She replied, "Zhao Pingfan is a prophet. He has predicted the future of the Soaring Cloud City many times, but he is also a top scientist. He has the final say in the entire Area A. As for the City Lord, no one has seen him attack, so they don't know the level of his mutation."
Area A was also known as the Scientific Research Area. Many things had been researched there. It was said that there were crops that could grow at a high speed, mutagenic agents that could induce mutations, and terrifying unknown technological weapons. These were all things that had been leaked out. Based on the character of the Z people, more powerful technologies must have been hidden. Only one or two out of ten had been leaked out.
There were many ways for Wei Huo to enter Area B. The most convenient way was to show that he was a mutant or show off his knowledge of electromagnetism. However, if Wei Huo did not want to attract attention, he could enter with 300,000 silver or something of equal value.
However, at that moment, Su Xiaoyu suddenly said, "Zhao Pingfan once had a prophetic dream. He saw a huge coffin appear in the abyss. You might have been noticed if you brought the coffin into the city."
Wei Huo's expression changed. He said, "Now that you mention it, I want to meet that prophet."
A prophet and a scientist who also predicted the coffin under the abyss, what did this mean? Did he really see the future?
Wei Huo really wanted to meet Ma Tengyun and Zhao Pingfan. The two of them were not simple. They might know secrets that ordinary people did not.
Su Xiaoyu said, "I heard that the City Lord has temporarily left the Soaring Cloud City. At the moment, the second-in-command, Zhao Pingfan, is in charge of the city."
At that moment, the middle-aged man sent by Su Xiaoyu had already responded to his superior. He had a good grasp of the situation and did not exaggerate Wei Huo's strength. He only said that Wei Huo might be a very strong mutant who had interacted with the Marginalized Alliance before. He had to pay more attention to him.
Zhao Pingfan's status was not low, and not everyone knew about his prophetic dream. Su Xiaoyu's identity was somewhat unusual. After the higher-ups learned that Su Xiaoyu had sent someone to deliver the news, they became more cautious.
Su Xiaoyu continued wandering around with Wei Huo. Someone had already started investigating Wei Huo's situation. When they heard that Wei Huo had used two big birds to pull the coffin into the city, the higher-ups became vigilant.
A soldier reported the matter to his superiors. Wei Huo's news was reported level by level. In the end, someone at the top gave an order. Send someone to contact Wei Huo, but do not act rashly. Collect some information first.
However, at that moment, three construction sites in Area C had accidents. The houses that had yet to be built collapsed one after another, and many construction workers died tragically.
When the news of the accident spread, the people in the administrative center got busy.
The woman had yet to leave. She was crying. "My son died so tragically!"
However, the middle-aged man said coldly, "I told you long ago that you ignored the truth and allowed the murderer to get away with it. Sooner or later, you will cause a huge disaster!"
As soon as the man spoke, everyone's luck started fluctuating again. It was like a rising and falling tide that kept rising and falling.
Such a thing was not recorded in the Luck Severance Skill. Wei Huo was curious. Why had such a phenomenon happened?
Luck is also a kind of science. However, the ancients of our country are good at scientific research through observation, induction, and summary. Meanwhile, foreigners are good at scientific research through assumptions, experiments, and argumentation.
Our paths are different, but our hearts for the truth are the same.
Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages. Although our methods are not necessarily accurate, we can study anything in the world. Although their methods are accurate, they can't continue studying if they can't manufacture the relevant instruments.
They can't study things like Qi, Fengshui, luck, and prediction. However, the ancients of our country can find out the rules after summarizing them. However, they might not be accurate, and they can easily be lost. They need to keep improving and perfecting them.
Just as the administrative center was in a terrible state due to the accident, another rumor spread. A few staff members who had just escaped from the construction site said that a monster had appeared at the construction site and killed several people. The monster was extremely strong and had even destroyed many machines and buildings.
The buildings in Area C were mostly one-story buildings, but this time, there were two floors. They were made of concrete, and their purpose was to accommodate more people. They had not expected such an accident to happen.
Su Xiaoyu was confused. "A monster appeared in Area C? Did it dig a hole in the ground? "
Wei Huo asked, "Does anyone know what that monster looks like?"
A middle-aged man who had escaped from the construction site said in horror, "I've seen one side of that monster. It was a pitch-black monster that could walk upright. It had a long tail and many pairs of arms. It looked skinny, but it was very fast and its body was very hard!"
Wei Huo suddenly thought of something. He had seen such a thing in his long travels. He asked, "Did you dig this monster out of the ground?" The middle-aged man was covered in oil.
The middle-aged man was covered in oil stains, and he was terrified. However, he was surrounded by the administrative officers, who refused to let him leave until he finished speaking. He had no choice but to answer, "I don't know, but at first, there was a scream from the excavator. Then, an unfinished two-story building suddenly collapsed. We ran in panic, and when I turned around, I saw the monster. It was moving the bodies!"
Wei Huo asked again, "Does this monster have a terrifying mouth full of fangs?"
If so, there was no doubt that it was a Body-Breaking Worm.
