A bit slow-paced.
In the year 3035 of the Blue Star calendar, an asteroid struck Blue Star. The Blue Star authorities intercepted the asteroid, codenamed "Eye of the Storm," at high a...
"Damn, what's going on in East City recently? Why are there so many polluted species and mutated plants and animals all of a sudden!" Ying Yu, a fat man dressed in yellow, wiped the sweat from his forehead. Today he had been following the boss around East City collecting dark cores. The small handbag in his left hand was almost full.
You know, dark cores were rare before. Even if there were mutated animals and plants, they were benign mutated animals and plants due to spiritual energy, because dark matter mutations were rare. In order to save money to buy dark cores, he worked and completed tasks everywhere, but today, when he followed the boss, he found that East City was full of crazy mutated animals and plants.
Was it really just bad luck that kept him from encountering contaminated mutant plants and animals? Did his luck change after following the boss?
It's quite sad to think about it. He's a good pollutant, a potential villain, and now he has to follow the big boss around to do good things and save humanity. It's quite amazing to think about it. But, who cares! As long as there are dark cores to collect, it's fine.
Fatty Huang Yingyu felt that he could smile with his teeth showing even in his dreams.
The red spider lily floated above the mutant flowers in the center of the hall, and its red petals immediately became thinner and longer like silk, flying towards the mutant plants below.
The mutated peony below seemed to sense the danger, and the petals that were originally entangled with the fleeing people in the living room were immediately retracted, and swept madly towards the red spider lily above.
The silk-like petals of the two mutant plants instantly strangled and attacked each other. It was thought that they were evenly matched, but unexpectedly they were vulnerable. The pink and white tough peony petals were instantly penetrated and crushed when they met the red petals of the other shore, and turned into debris that fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Ying Yu, who was one step behind, hurriedly shouted, "Little Ancestor, go slower and leave some for me!"
You have to know that the Red Spider Lily absorbs the Dark Core so quickly that if he wants a piece of the pie, he has to compete with his hand speed and snatch it! Yingyu was initially apprehensive about secretly hiding the Dark Core from Murong An, but seeing that Murong An was truly uninterested in the Dark Core, he openly competed with the Red Spider Lily for it.
By the time he arrived at the hall with his belly bulging and trembling, he could only snatch a dark core the size of a fingernail from under the red spider lily.
It’s okay, as long as there is something gained.
"Let's go to the next place." After Murong An saw that the matter was settled, he turned and left.
"Okay!" Fatty Huang followed happily.
"Remember to call the guards to deal with it." A voice floated on the wind.
It was not until a long time later that the waiter huddled in front of the French window realized that the last sentence was directed at him. He then got up trembling and made a phone call.
In the conference room of the East City Command Center, Commander Liu Changfeng and the heads of various families were watching the large screen in front of them. The screen was showing the data of today's statistics on the riots of polluted and mutated animals and plants in East City, and this data was still increasing.
The Secretary General distributed the detailed information he had compiled to everyone, and then pulled up a map of East City, marking the places where the riots had occurred one by one, including research institutes, wealthy families, and more residential areas of ordinary people.
The noble families whispered to each other that when they were dealing with the pollution riots in their own families, they thought it was just an accidental incident. However, when they learned that there were riots everywhere in the entire East City, they realized the crisis.
Commander Liu Changfeng asked someone to retrieve the dark area photos of the East City Training School. In the color photos, he saw that the area that was originally the school was covered by a large gray semicircular cover.
This was taken using a special imaging instrument, which can capture dark matter and dark domain barriers that are invisible to the human eye. This is the latest research result of the institute, but the instrument is expensive to produce and uses spirit cores as energy, so it is extremely rare.
"What are your thoughts on this? Currently, there are too many pollution-type riots in East City, and they're scattered across the city. There's no pattern to the timing and location of the riots. The guards alone probably won't be able to handle this. Does anyone have any suggestions?"
Everyone looked at each other, and then someone spoke up:
"As for the Dark Territory, we can each send more people to support it, but for this East City riot, relying on just one or two families will probably be limited!"
"Yes, that's right. We don't have many people in our family to begin with, and many of our promising young people have gone to East City to take the entrance exam. Now they are trapped inside and might even die. We are all anxious to rescue them. As for East City, we really don't have the energy or the manpower to spare!"
"We still have to do our best to rescue the students of East City School. After all, they are our hope."
"What about East City? The riots are still growing. We can't just ignore them. Many people will die. If this continues, chaos will break out!"
"So what should we do? We only have so many people, and we have to deal with the Dark Domain and the riots. What do you think we should do?"
"Alas~"
Commander Liu looked at the heads of the aristocratic families who were arguing and making a mess, expressing their own opinions. These aristocratic families usually put on airs, looking down on this and that. When encountering a problem, the first thing they think about is to fight for power and profit for their own family, completely disregarding the lives of ordinary people. He looked down on them at all, but relying solely on the power of the official was too weak, alas.
"Do you still remember the Strange Exchange?" Li Zhen suddenly asked.
Strange Exchange? It took everyone a while to remember what it was, and they all opened their phones.
I saw that everyone had a simple app on their phone. This was an internal app developed by the official in the early days to collect spirit cores, meteorite fragments and mutant animals. It was like a communication forum where people could exchange information, intelligence and issue tasks.
