Chapter 36 Mutual Moral Blackmail (1/2)



"Tell me... where does this black and gray smoke come from?" Meng Yi opened his eyes and looked around.

The evening sun shines on the street, stretching everyone's shadow very long...

"I don't know." Cen Qiyun shook her head. "Humanity hasn't figured this out in thirty years..."

Of course, Meng Yi didn't expect to get an answer from her. That question sounded more like a soliloquy.

He laughed at himself and decided to consider these things when he had thousands of followers and his divine power was as great as a prison. Now he should focus on the present.

He pulled out the rib from his waist and examined it carefully. The pure white bone even had a holy feeling.

Cen Qiyun reminded: "Use your spiritual vision."

Meng Yi switched perspectives, and now the bone in his hand emitted a bright light.

Cen Qiyun explained, "Just now, I used my psychic vision to look at that mutant. The color of his body is highly consistent with the surrounding area, black and gray, but it is a little darker."

"But there was a bright light shining from his chest, which was easily discernible. It was very obvious."

Meng Yi nodded slowly and asked the question that concerned him most: "Is this material valuable?"

Cen Qiyun smiled and shook his head, "It's not worth much. Ordinary people who transform into mutants are not powerful, and the materials used to condense them are also very ordinary. How can it be valuable?"

She estimated, "At most thirty thousand yuan."

Meng Yi silently calculated that thirty thousand would have cost him a year and a half of work without eating or drinking in his previous factory. It was still quite valuable.

Cen Qiyun continued, "If this mutant absorbs more of the black smoke... in other words, absorbs more pollution, this rib will become more solid, and it will be more valuable.

If it devours and fuses more ordinary people, this rib will become larger... and more valuable."

Meng Yi continued, "If the two are combined, it will be both solid and large..."

Cen Qiyun retorted, "No, condensed means concentrated. Generally speaking, the smaller the size of the extraordinary material, the better."

“That’s what they say!”

Cen Qiyun stretched out her hand, fingers spread out. "As the mutant accumulates more pollution, its energy, spirit, consciousness, and all other normal things, both tangible and intangible, will disappear..."

She clasped her fingers together and said, "Everything will be slowly squeezed to a certain place, getting smaller and smaller..."

"When it's integrated with ordinary people, the pollutants will be diluted, and the above process will need to be repeated."

"So, the materials on the mutant are really worthless. Besides, it doesn't have any special energies, such as fire or water..."

Meng Yi's thoughts were wandering, "So... the polluted mutants attack normal people because they can't 'dilute' this pollution?"

Cen Qiyun sighed, "That's not sure. This is a reasonable inference, but... even what was said before is just speculation. It can't be taken as a sure thing at all."

Meng Yi didn't ask any more questions.

As for the special energy variants like fire, water, etc...

In fact, this is quite normal. There is a formation in the fortress city, and these inanimate objects cannot be alienated, or the pollution accumulated over thirty years is not enough to alienate them.

But outside the fortress city, not only the grass and trees, but also stones, flames, water, fog, and even lightning may be transformed!

All kinds of weird and unpredictable mutants emerge one after another!

Not far away, a blue ripple appeared in the air again. It was as if the alien form somewhere had unconsciously crashed into the fortress city formation.

This time Meng Yi didn't look up. What was there to be surprised about?

Think about what to eat in the evening instead of this.

"Eat your proper rations. I need to read tonight. For the sake of the Holy Temple, I must seize all my time."

Cen Qiyun looked solemn.

Forehead…

Actually, you don’t care about this at all. Meng Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “No, you were talking about food rations before.”

"I'm not here. I only said that because you're quite picky."

Meng Yi touched his stomach. He hadn't eaten much at noon. As for cooking...

Sorry he's a loser college student.

So Meng Yi began to engage in shameful religious kidnapping, "God says, love!"

“???”

He ignored Cen Qiyun's wide-open eyes and continued, "I will accuse God of your sins when I pray at night!"

Cen Qiyun had no choice but to retreat, but made a suggestion that made him dizzy:

"Read to me while I cook."

"Hmm..." The more she thought about it, the more she found it possible. "Besides, this will also help you gain some knowledge. You always get distracted when reading before!"

She said with deep emotion:

"Even if you're not good at studying, you should still work hard for me. Look at me!"

She held her head high and chest out, "For my sake, I will fight without fear!"

You are dragging your dad into this. Your dad is heartbroken for you and they had two fights in one day!
