Mo Qiong finally knew why the Blue and White Society was called a hidden country. It had no political significance, but it had economic significance.
The Blue and White Society could not collapse. Their economy affected the world's economy, and their safety represented the safety of all mankind.
They relied on each other and had long been integrated into the world. Once the Blue and White Society was destroyed, the world would be shrouded in the shadow of crisis and doomsday.
The Blue and White Society's economic problems had to be solved by themselves first. They had to open up more businesses and cut down on spending to destroy the big money-grubbers.
But no matter how much pressure there was, they could only hold on and solve it in a formal way. They could not rely on aid alone, or else the problem would never be solved and the economy would only collapse.
If it really didn't work, they could still take out low-interest loans. Anyway, the money would be spent and everyone would still profit.
It was because of this that the Blue and White Society had such great convenience and industry in various countries around the world. No one would be stubborn enough to viciously squeeze their economy.
Containment measures were necessary. The more the Blue and White Society earned, the more they spent. Their orders were very profitable in various countries, and they couldn't wait for the Blue and White Society to earn more money. They had to spend it anyway.
Spending money on research, improving production technology, and suppressing anomalies. The Blue and White Society was such a big business that they had to spend money everywhere. This was a bottomless pit. They only wanted better, but there was no best.
Therefore, everything was developing, everything was improving, and everything could move forward continuously. On the surface, the world was so prosperous that it had never been dragged down by anomalies.
"Can't it eat anything? Can't it be fed garbage? "Mo Qiong asked.
Old Ghost said, "We do use it to destroy garbage and deal with environmental problems. Every year, hundreds of millions of tons of highly polluted garbage are given to it for digestion. But this doesn't mean that we can't feed it meat. Animal meat is its favorite food, or rather, that is its real food. This can pacify it so that it will always be fed and not take the initiative to hunt. "
"Other than that, whether it's plants, stones, air, or seawater, they are no different from garbage to it. Although it can eat them all, only meat is its real food."
Mo Qiong nodded. Then there was no other way. They could feed it garbage, but they couldn't give it less meat.
Feeding it other things was the same as feeding it nothing. What was the difference between it and ordinary substances? It was everywhere in this world. It could swallow many substances with a casual breath or bite. It could eat through the earth even if it didn't move, so why would it need humans to feed it?
Meat was the only thing that could make it docile and tame, so that it could be reared in captivity.
If there was no meat, it would go on a rampage and hunt everywhere.
"Any kind of meat?" Mo Qiong asked.
"Any kind of meat will do. Nutrition and meat quality are meaningless to it. It doesn't matter whether the protein content is high or low. The key is the animal cells. Therefore, the meat we buy from various countries is actually imported rotten meat and meat that can't be sold for various reasons," Old Ghost said.
Mo Qiong was speechless. But it was true. How could they feed it expensive food? They must have dumped meat that couldn't be sold or eaten by humans.
Not only was it cheap, but it could also get rid of those poisonous things. Taotie could eat anything, which meant that it was a garbage disposal station.
Come to think of it, Mo Qiong had encountered many anomalies during this containment failure, but none of them were animals.
It was either a plant or a fungus, or some other strange and bizarre things.
Mo Qiong couldn't help but ask: "Did you feed all the animal-type anomalies to Taotie?"
Old Ghost replied: "We didn't. Although we always use them to destroy anomalies, we need to be very careful. They're very easy to contain, so we don't take any risks. Only anomalies that are troublesome to deal with and we understand them well enough would be given to Taotie to destroy them "
"But whether or not they're destroyed, we can't be sure, because we still don't know what's going on inside Taotie's stomach. Digestion is only a saying, eating won't make Taotie gain weight"
"That's why we don't feed things like the wax figurine that can become dangerous if left alone for a long time. What if Taotie's stomach contains some sort of extra-large special space, and the wax figurine's exponential growth rate is so terrifying that Taotie explodes? "
"Even if Taotie only feels discomfort and spits it all out, we won't be able to bear the consequences. Needless to say, the wax figurine only needs to develop in Taotie's stomach for a few days, which is already a terrifying number"
Mo Qiong knew that this was the uncertainty of an anomaly showdown.
The best possibility was that the wax figurine would be digested and destroyed by Taotie and cease to exist.
Or the worst possibility was that the wax figurine would develop wildly in Taotie's stomach.
Just because there was a good outcome, they couldn't ignore the bad outcome, they had to see if they could bear the worst outcome.
There was no doubt that the worst outcome for something like the wax figurine was unbearable, absolutely unbearable.
So even if the wax figurine entered Taotie's stomach, based on their understanding of Taotie, it was very likely that the wax figurine would never come out. However, they still couldn't take the risk, they couldn't even try.
It wasn't like they couldn't contain it, and it wasn't like if they didn't feed it to Taotie, it would be the end of the world. Even if the cost of suppressing it was great, they still had to bear it, choosing the lesser of two evils.
The same was true for transporting Taotie this time. After carefully considering all the consequences of failing to kill it, they decided to do this.
"You two, immediately go down and clean up the wax figurine, then bring more meat here. We'll lead Taotie back to his steel nest step by step"
Now that Taotie was gradually calming down and being appeased by the meat, the other club members began to slowly remove the weightless instruments.
When Taotie slowly landed on the ground, he didn't run around, nor did he bite randomly. He only cared about eating the meat that Old Ghost and Mo Qiong fed him. The other six club members were all released.
Since that was the case, Old Ghost directly reassigned the task and let the two of them go down to deal with the anomalies on the negative tenth floor.
"And you guys, go to the other floors and re-collect all the anomalies that ran out. If you encounter anything you can't handle, prioritize saving your own life. Reinforcements and Bastet's team will arrive soon" Old Ghost said again.
Immediately, two more club members left. Apart from the miscellaneous people, only Old Ghost and two other club members were left.
They really didn't have enough manpower. If it weren't for Mo Qiong delivering the food, these people could only stay here to suppress Taotie and might lose their lives at any time.
Don't look at how the weightless instruments seemed to deal with Taotie easily. In fact, Taotie could still break through once he showed his power.
Although Taotie couldn't fly, his explosive power was terrifying. Weightlessness didn't mean that he couldn't borrow strength at all. If Taotie was angry, he could blow himself out with a breath.
However, Taotie was a stingy ghost. Generally, he wouldn't spit out anything that entered his stomach. If the air he breathed in wasn't really irritable, he wouldn't use it to propel himself with a jet.
The few times he slid in the air just now was because he was roaring and breathing out.
If he really used all his strength, the six weightless instruments wouldn't be able to trap him at all.
Of the 160 people, only seven were left. It could be seen that he had run out of the range of weightlessness many times.
According to Old Ghost, there were more instruments in the beginning. When Li Qing entrusted the task to Mo Qiong, they had 40 people on their side. As a result, when Mo Qiong broke out of the encirclement and contacted him in the stairwell, there were only seven of them left …
It was easy to imagine how important Mo Qiong's food was.
At this moment, there was no need to suppress him at all. Just feeding him and maintaining the rhythm would be enough to restrain him.
This was the classic containment method for Taotie. It had been tested many times, so there shouldn't be any problems. At this moment, as soon as he saw the situation, Mo Qiong immediately sent four people to deal with the anomalies in other places.
Mo Qiong and Xiao Feng stayed here to help feed Taotie.
If they deliberately threw it a little off course, Taotie would move a little bit. Step by step, they led Taotie to the negative tenth floor and sent him back to his damaged nest.
However, the damage was fine. Feeding him continuously was the real containment method.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
Just as everyone was steadily leading Taotie away, Taotie suddenly went crazy again. He roared crazily, his face showing pain and his eyes brimming with tears.
Irritated, he pounced on the ceiling and bit through the space between the floors in one bite.
Two club members reacted very quickly. They jumped high and held the weightless instruments to restrain Taotie so that he couldn't run away.
Who would have thought that Taotie would fiercely turn his head and roll in pain in the weightless air. He stepped on the broken ceiling and pounced on one of the club members.
That club member reacted very quickly. He stepped on the air and jumped back several meters to dodge.
However, Taotie took a deep breath. Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through like a vortex and sucked the club member into his mouth and swallowed him whole.
"What! How is this possible! " Old Ghost was inexplicably horrified. His past experience told him that as long as Taotie was fed continuously, it was impossible for him to go crazy.
What was going on? Why did he go berserk again? Who the hell pissed you off this time?
"He's still crying! And he seems to be in pain. Did that crying robot provoke him again? "Mo Qiong said.
Old Ghost also thought of this and immediately contacted Preacher David, "David! What happened to the robot? Did you destroy it? "
"I'm destroying it. I've already dismantled it. What's wrong?" David said calmly.
"Speed up and destroy it completely!" Old Ghost said.
"Um …" David stiffened. There was a fierce sound of metal stirring over there.
At the same time, Taotie was in even more pain. He bawled and ran frantically upstairs. Wherever he passed, he gnawed on everything, as if he wanted to eat a way out.
"No! No! Stop! "Old Ghost shouted. He realized that something was wrong. What was going on? Why was Taotie in so much pain after destroying the robot?
"David, stop first, stop destroying it!" Old Ghost said anxiously.
David apparently stopped, leaving only the remains of the robot. Sure enough, Taotie's pain eased a lot, but he was still in a berserk state, running wildly.
"Strange, why is Taotie in so much pain? What does it have to do with us destroying the robot? "Old Ghost murmured.
"Empathize? Soul mate? "Mo Qiong abruptly said.
He didn't really understand, but as soon as he heard about this phenomenon of telepathy, he remembered what Karl told him about soul mates not long ago.
Mo Qiong was just casually saying it. Old Ghost frowned: "Nonsense, how can two anomalies be soul mates? They … ugh … "
As he said that, Old Ghost was shocked. Thinking about it carefully, it really was possible.
When dealing with anomalies, one had to keep an open mind.
Taotie had an extremely strong mental resistance, his mental strength was even stronger than the members who trained their mental strength.
And the Perpetual Weep robot wasn't a simple robot, it was a robot with thoughts, emotions, and a soul.
"No way … there's such a thing …"
"Taotie, you have a soul mate?"
