The fate of the D-class personnel was to die.
No one knew this better than the D-class personnel themselves. They knew that they would die sooner or later, and they had foreseen that day was not far away.
But Xiao Feng and the others still wanted to live, even if it was just to eat one more meal. They greedily breathed and experienced the feeling of being alive.
Mo Qiong was not a D-class personnel, and in this short period of time, he deeply felt it.
"Old Ghost …"
Mo Qiong hugged the sword and contacted Old Ghost, and told him everything that happened here.
They successfully took in the sword hammer, and for that, they sacrificed a D-class personnel.
Mo Qiong's tone was gloomy, Blonde's death shocked him.
"You've done very well … You've exceeded my expectations. I've even prepared for the worst," Old Ghost said.
"It's all thanks to him, otherwise we might have all been killed by that hammer." Mo Qiong said.
"This is the honor of all of you." Old Ghost said.
Mo Qiong's eyes lit up, "D-class personnel can also do something? Then they can actually be pardoned? "
"There's no such thing as pardoning, the so-called honor is only to improve their quality of life to a certain extent, and it doesn't give them a mission that will definitely kill them. It gives them a certain amount of respect, but that's all. "Old Ghost said calmly.
"Then what hope do they have to live?" Mo Qiong said bitterly.
"There's no hope to speak of, don't you know? They had already been 'executed' long ago. Every D-class personnel was allowed to live because they were willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of humanity. Without their identity as D-class personnel, they would have died long ago, every month we ask them if they want to go back and accept the death penalty. 70% of them refuse. "Old Ghost said.
Mo Qiong was silent, of course he knew this, but at that time he hadn't interacted with D-class personnel.
He hadn't personally experienced it, but they were able to walk on the edge of death so many times and transform so much, maybe this was only a part of it, but at least this part was worthy of his respect.
"Continue the mission, Mo Qiong, where are you going, it's not far from us, send the food over, quick …" Old Ghost said.
Mo Qiong nodded, picked up the sword, and dragged it away, "Xiao Feng, push the cart, let's go!"
Now wasn't the time to be sad, even though his emotions were surging, he understood what was more important.
Golden-Hair was already dead. Now, he was dragging Golden-Hair's giant sword and walking at the front.
He knew that the one walking at the front was definitely the most dangerous. This role was originally supposed to be played by the blond man, but now that it was his turn, there was nothing to shirk.
However, for the next three corridors, they were able to safely restore power without encountering any anomalies.
"Old geezer, is the sword transformed from a human alive?"
Mo Qiong asked in a low voice as he dragged the heavy sword along the way and studied it for a while.
He did not want this sword to be left there like all the other swords. This one was different. This was a sword refined from a human, and it was a sword that his friend had turned into.
Even though Mo Qiong could not feel any life from this sword, he still hoped that this person was special. Perhaps after being forged into a sword by this special characteristic, it would also have its own thoughts.
However, Old Ghost said, "Dead. Under the hammer of the sword, people are just a kind of material, no different from gold, silver, copper, or iron."
He knew what Mo Qiong was thinking, it was nothing more than a person being forged into a sword. A person was still a person, only forged into the shape of a sword.
This was too naïve. This hammer would not create any derivative with special characteristics. If a sword had the life and thoughts of a human, then it would also be an anomaly.
"Unless the person being forged had the ability to maintain their thoughts regardless of what form they were in, then even if they were forged into a sword, they would still be alive"
"Do you understand? The hammer itself would not bestow any abilities to the sword, even if its design and craftsmanship were top-notch, it would still only be possible through technology "
"Whether or not the sword is abnormal depends on whether or not the material itself was abnormal before it was forged by the hammer"
"If the object being forged was an anomaly, then even if the anomaly turned into a sword, it would still be an anomaly"
Hearing Old Ghost's explanation, Mo Qiong frowned: "Anomalies can be forged? Then why didn't you use it to kill Taotie? "
"Naïve, it couldn't even kill 202, so how could it be Taotie? According to our conjecture, Taotie could even eat it and destroy it "Old Ghost replied.
"Is that so … conjecture? You haven't tried it before? "Mo Qiong was confused.
"How could we try something like that so casually? Although we really want to know all the characteristics of anomalies, we have to carefully consider every aspect of an anomaly's duel, we can't just try it out" Old Ghost replied.
Mo Qiong asked: "Why not? Regardless of whether the hammer kills Taotie or Taotie eats the hammer, wouldn't there be one less anomaly? "
Old Ghost replied: "Lan Bai She had already paid a heavy price for this idea. According to past experience, even if the hammer turns Taotie into a sword, Taotie would still be Taotie, its characteristics wouldn't change. Many anomalies' characteristics have nothing to do with their appearance, there are even extremely sharp loaves of bread in this world, can you imagine …? "
Mo Qiong was surprised. Extremely sharp loaves of bread?
Old Ghost didn't say much about that and continued: "On the other hand, if Taotie eats the hammer, we can't be sure whether or not it can digest it, because there are many anomalies that it can't digest. For example, the one that contained the extremely sharp loaves of bread … the strongest metal in history "
"If Taotie can't digest the hammer, then a hammer that can fly around on its own will cause Taotie to go berserk after eating it. There are already precedents of it going berserk due to indigestion, not to mention … there are also precedents of an anomaly obtaining the characteristics of another anomaly "
"Perhaps you don't think that's a big deal, but we've all learned our lesson, so we need to be extremely cautious when conducting experiments on anomalies of gamma class and above. I won't go into too many examples, but you need to know that this almost caused the end of the world "
Mo Qiong's expression became serious. Although Old Ghost didn't explain it clearly, he still understood what he meant.
The confrontation between anomalies was as dangerous as a chemical experiment, it might be mild, but it might also be extremely dangerous.
The hammer wasn't something that was hard to contain, so under normal circumstances, the sword cage would be more than enough to contain the hammer, so there was no need to take this risk.
It was only because of an anomaly like Taotie that Lan Bai She couldn't help but want to send it to another erasure anomaly and destroy it.
Very quickly, Mo Qiong took the lead and led Xiao Feng's group to the main group in the square.
Along the way, they could see that the square was full of holes, the collapsed ceiling and floor were obviously the work of Taotie.
At this time, Taotie was being suppressed by 6 members from 6 different directions using a large machine. This machine seemed to be a machine that could create a weightless environment.
Taotie was floating in the air, its 4 little legs were flailing in the air, its dragon-like mouth was swinging back and forth as it bared its fangs at the club members.
"Rawr rawr rawr rawr!" Taotie roared, its small eyes bulging as if to say: I'm very fierce! If it wasn't crying …
That's right, its small eyes were filled with tears that were pouring out like crazy.
Mo Qiong ran over, feeling that the gravity behind the machine was very low, his steps were as light as a feather, almost like he was walking on the moon.
It wasn't hard to imagine that Taotie, who was at the center of the 6 machines, was completely weightless. It couldn't fly, so it couldn't borrow any force, it could only slowly crawl forward through the reaction force of its roar.
Once it got close to a certain machine, the 6 members would immediately adjust their positions to prevent it from destroying the machine.
Mo Qiong saw this and thought that it turned out to be like this. Before, he was thinking that Taotie could eat anything except for a few anomalies, so how could they suppress it?
Guns? Cannons? Would these be useful to it? According to the nature of its absolute characteristics, it could even eat nuclear bombs, right?
However, the Blue and White Society had obviously found an effective way to suppress it, and that was gravity.
Taotie couldn't eat force, otherwise, how could it still be on Earth? It should have eaten the gravity around it long ago and kicked its legs to travel to space.
"We're here! The feed is all here! "Mo Qiong shouted.
"There's only one bucket …" A club member said worriedly.
At this time, Old Ghost, the only one who didn't control the machine, came over and patted Mo Qiong's shoulder heavily, saying, "One bucket is also very good, I originally didn't have any expectations."
Mo Qiong counted the people again and couldn't help but ask, "Such a big thing, there's only 7 of you?"
There were too few people, so few people, no wonder they were still entangled with Taotie for so long and couldn't spare a hand.
"Counting the peripheral personnel, we have 170 people." Old Ghost calmly said.
"What about the others?" Mo Qiong was startled, remembering that a lot of security guards had come down before.
Old Ghost glanced at Mo Qiong, his gaze having an indescribable complexity. He didn't speak, silently opening the trash can to take out the meat.
Mo Qiong's brows trembled. He didn't see a single corpse here, that is to say, they were all eaten …
"How could it be … Was the preacher also eaten?" Mo Qiong was shocked.
"No, he went to solve the root cause of Taotie's rampage, a robot that always cries. It gave Taotie the effect of crying no matter what it encountered, which angered Taotie. The angrier it got, the more it cried … it went berserk …"
