"call……"
Sitting on the sofa, Fang Zheng closed his eyes and let out a long breath.
So tired.
Fang Zheng had traveled through so many worlds, but this world was the one that made him feel the most exhausted. This was not because of physical fatigue, but mental fatigue.
He has saved a lot of "cursed children", but this is far from enough. In other words, Fang Zheng feels that he has fallen into a strange cycle. The more "cursed children" he saves, the more miserable conditions he sees them in, and the more he wants to save them all. But this is not an easy task. Although Fang Zheng has saved quite a lot of "cursed children", this is still not enough.
This world is really disgusting...
Every time Fang Zheng thought of the experiences of those "cursed children", he felt like vomiting and heartbroken. Those "cursed children" were not incapable of resistance. Each of them possessed great strength and speed, and could even knock a car flying with one hand. But even so, these children could only endure the cruel abuse. Because they did not know how to resist, and no one would protect them, so even if they had great strength, they could only obey the atrocities of those people - because other than that, these children did not know how to survive.
Fang Zheng has always thought that the saying "It's the world that's wrong, not me" is a bit childish, but now it seems that the world is indeed very suitable for this saying.
"Brother... please have some tea..."
"Thank you, Thuy."
Hearing the crisp, soft voice, Fang Zheng opened his eyes and smiled at the silver-haired girl in front of him. Then he reached out to take the cup of tea from her. Seeing the smile on the girl's face, Fang Zheng felt that he was healed. This was also the reason why he could persist in saving these children. Seeing them leave that painful and dark world and show innocent and pure smiles that matched their age again, made Fang Zheng feel that his efforts were not in vain.
“Big Brother…”
"Um?"
Hearing Cui's voice, Fang Zheng raised his head and looked at the girl beside him curiously. Facing Fang Zheng's gaze, Bushicui showed a bit of shyness and uneasiness, but she still bit her lip and whispered.
"Brother, we... also want to help."
"help?"
"Yes."
Bushicui nodded.
"Big Brother has been saving our sisters all the time, but we don't want to just stay here and do nothing. I, we also want to help Big Brother, and we also hope to save other 'cursed children'."
"but……"
Hearing Bushicui's words, Fang Zheng frowned. It was not that he had not considered it. After all, his power was too limited. Even if the Heavenly Dao Palace could teleport him to any place in this world at will, he could only take away the cursed children who had gathered. There were also some cursed children who were hidden or imprisoned. Unless Fang Zheng used the prophecy spell to predict, it would be difficult to find them.
To be honest, there is strength in numbers. But Fang Zheng didn't really want these children to act with him, because the fate of those "cursed children" was too miserable. In fact, although Fang Zheng was able to save a lot of "cursed children" every time, they were only those he could save. There were also some who were living a fate worse than death, and Fang Zheng had to send them away from this world personally. Even Fang Zheng, who had traveled through many worlds, couldn't bear to see such a scene, and he didn't want these children with pure hearts to face such a thing.
Not to mention, there is another major problem that restricts these "cursed children".
Fang Zheng has not yet brought these "cursed children" back to the main world. The Tiandao Palace where they are now is just a "projection" of the Tiandao Palace in the main world. The current "dark world" is still a mission world for Fang Zheng. If he wants to turn this world into a free world, then Fang Zheng must have a huge and influential force, just like he did in the Shana world or the Iron Blood world, and intervene in the process of this world to gain dominance.
This means that if Fang Zheng hopes to protect all the "cursed children" in this world, he must let them fight in this world, gain reputation, and expand the influence of the Tiandao Palace.
Right now, the biggest problem for the "cursed children" is that as they grow up, the virus erosion rate in their bodies will gradually increase. When it exceeds 50%, these children will become protostomes.
Originally Fang Zheng had hoped that the Zerg would be able to find a way to solve this problem, but just now, he got an answer from Milune that was not bad, but not good either.
The reason why it is not bad is that the Zerg did find a way to solve the erosion rate of the protovirus.
The reason why it is not good is that this method... is not as perfect as Fang Zheng imagined.
According to Miluen and her research, the "cursed children" were infected with the enterovirus in their mothers before they were born, so their genes had already mutated when they were born. There are also many "cursed children" like Bushicui, who have changed their body organs due to the strong influence of the enterovirus, such as growing cat ears and even changing their body skeletons. There are also "cursed children" who have grown bird-like wings, and their skeleton system is similar to that of birds, which is completely different from humans.
In this case, according to Fang Zheng's idea, at worst, it was almost impossible to make the "cursed children" completely transform back to human form, unless they also accepted the Zerg's re-decomposition and combination of genetic forms like Fang Zheng. But this method was not suitable for these children. Fang Zheng was able to survive that kind of re-decomposition and combination of genetic forms because of the system, but it was not certain whether these children could survive.
So the solution proposed by Milune is to force the virus erosion rate of the "Cursed Children" to exceed 50%, and then enhance their own control, relying on the injection of Zerg cells to make the "Cursed Children" and the Protovirus undergo the second stage of reintegration.
The reason why the "cursed child" turned into a monster was that after the erosion rate exceeded 50%, the protovirus would erode and fuse the human part of the "cursed child". The method adopted by Miluen was to strengthen the human part of the "cursed child" to suppress it and in turn take the initiative of fusion.
In this way, it will become the "Cursed Child" fused with the protovirus, rather than the protovirus fused with the "Cursed Child".
But this also has a flaw.
That is, if the "cursed children" really merged with the protovirus, then when they released their power, their bodies would mutate under the influence of the protovirus. For example, Bushi Cui was infected with the feline protovirus, so after she was fused, she would have ears and a tail. The other infected people are probably not much different.
In fact, it is still okay for animal-type infected people, but it is a bit uncomfortable for insect-type infected people. After all, they have spider or even snail-type infection genes in their bodies. If this kind of accelerated fusion occurs, no one knows what it will become.
But one thing is for sure, this form must not look very good.
If they want to change this situation, they must accept another treatment method, which is secondary decomposition and fusion, retaining only the part of the original enterovirus that is useful to the body, removing the redundant genes, and replacing them with Zerg genes.
Fang Zheng was not sure whether these "cursed children" were willing to accept this method, and more importantly, he had not told the "cursed children" about the situation of the Zerg. Considering their ability to accept, Fang Zheng was also hesitant about whether he should tell them all this and let them make their own choice.
Maybe now it seems... this is the only way.
"emerald."
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng sighed in his heart, then he raised his head and looked at the cat-eared girl beside him.
"Gather everyone. I have something very important to explain to you."
