Chapter 222 Fishing
fish.
Hua Hui looked outside through the observation wall.
Circles of fish gathered above the dungeon in Area 17, like a miracle under the sea.
But soon, he realized something was wrong.
Real schools of fish move freely and in unpredictable paths.
But this school of fish kept repeating the same path.
He thought of what Lidya Su had done just now, turned his head and looked at Lidya Su sincerely, “Thank you.”
Now the only ones who can use the energy of the undead are the survivors who have reverted to their ancestral state. However, the number of gene fusion agents is small, and so are the survivors who have reverted to their ancestral state.
There is not enough food, so people are dying every day, but it is not visible on the surface.
At the end of Area 17, there was a pungent odor in the cubicle where ordinary survivors lived. Su Xiao was not unable to smell it.
“They’re not really fish.”
Although it looks real, it is just a shell made of energy and has no soul.
Even the Lord God cannot create it.
Hua Hui soon discovered their differences.
“That’s good enough for us.”
After watching for a while, the staff took Wang Hong, Xiao Qi and Master Roshi to where they lived.
Jiang Qiqi and Su Xiao were in the lounge and said, "Originally, the location of Area 17 was more than 3,000 meters underground, but why is Area 17 now on the seabed?"
Su Xiao said: "Dissolving, the land has dissolved, and new sedimentary rocks have not yet formed. Since the beginning of the new era, the land of the mountains in the past has been dissolving, so the underground city of Area 17 has gradually been on the ground under the sea. After the new era is officially restarted, they will be reorganized."
Jiang Qiqi looked at Lidya Su, "I don't know why, but since you came to District 17, I always felt that you were worried."
Lidya Su said nothing.
The two of them were like this, three hours later.
Zhu Yang walked out of the conference room quickly, holding a stack of information in his hands, looked at Su Xiao and said, "Miss Su, according to the records in the legend, there have been wars for territory in myths from all over the world. For us, this may be a war for species, but District 17 cannot leave the seabed and participate in it at the moment."
"You don't need to get involved." Su Xiao said slowly, "I will solve it myself."
Zhu Yang also knew what Su Xiao meant.
"Thank you very much for what you have done for humanity and District 17. However, according to our analysis, after the Lord God returns, your position should not only be with humanity, but also with Blue Planet. At that time, humans may become like germs to you."
"That's too far away." Su Xiao said very bluntly.
Zhu Yang did not say any more and got to the point: "According to our analysis, every undead needs to go through a chanting process to be resurrected, like a ritual to revive the dead. But we all know that dead life cannot be reborn, not even the Lord God. So does the resurrected life still belong to the undead?"
Lidya Su frowned slightly.
"Just like us, we have merged the energy of the undead, so are we no longer human?" Zhu Yang continued to explain, "So, we have tried our best, and we accept all possibilities in the future. You don't have to consider District 17 anymore, we respect any choice you make."
Zhu Yang looked into Lidya Su’s eyes.
It means to tell her that she has seen the end of mankind.
Therefore, any choice Su Xiao makes does not need to consider District 17.
Jiang Qiqi, who was standing next to him, was confused.
Lidya Su was silent for a moment and then slowly said, “Okay.”
After that, Su Xiao did not stay in Area 17 any longer and took Jiang Qiqi away from the seabed.
After the two left, Hua Hui walked to Zhu Yang's side and asked, "What should we do next?"
Zhu Yang took a deep breath, turned around and said, "Give up the research on fusion genes and go fishing. Everyone has been anxious for so long. Now there is no shortage of food. Let's take a good rest for a while and let everyone eat their fill."
Hua Hui frowned and hesitated for a moment, "Give up researching fusion genes? But there are still many people who haven't..."
Zhu Yang smiled, "Although we already know that the important formula belongs to the Tears of Wisdom at the end of the era, not everyone can drop it before death. We can't continue to test for this probability. Su Xiao left behind a gift from God, which is enough for us to live in the sea for a long time. Human evolution does not necessarily need to rely on the energy of the undead, the environment can also, but we need more time to adapt."
"Besides, you have also seen the defects of using the energy of the undead to fuse genes and regress. Their bodies have actually returned to a certain biological chain in the past era. They are very unstable. This shows that... this is not a true path of evolution. We have to take this path because we have no choice when the doomsday comes. Everyone here lives in fear, terror, and worry every day."
"But this is not the life that humans should live."
"We develop technology to make us happier, more convenient, and more powerful, rather than to be afraid every day about who will die next."
Zhu Yang finished speaking softly, and Hua Hui's brows slowly relaxed.
He lowered his head and pinched his nose.
"Maybe... you're right. So what's the next goal? We can't go fishing every day."
Zhu Yang smiled slightly, "I am very interested in the language of the undead. Their chanting sounds very much like magic. Perhaps we can study their energy system."
Jiang Qiqi, who had left the water, was carried by Su Xiao.
“Lidya Su, why do I feel like I don’t understand your conversation? Is there something you didn’t tell me?”
What does Blue Star mean by our stance? We should stop caring about District 17 and respect any choice she makes.
Su Xiao raised an eyebrow. "The Lord of Blue Star stands for Blue Star. Blue Star has a food chain and many kinds of creatures, not just humans. What she meant is that I don't have to worry about whether to preserve the human fire because of District 17."
What's happening on the ground is not just about being exploited by the undead for more than a year, but also about her hatred for humans.
But Su Xiao actually didn't want to care about such things. He believed that revenge should be taken when there is a grievance. This was Su Xiao's real thought.
All she wanted to prevent was the birth of the baby in Nian Yu's belly.
Once this matter is resolved, no one can cause any trouble in her hands.
What happens between humans has nothing to do with her.
Jiang Qiqi asked, "So are we going back to the Ice City of the Undead now?"
"No, let's go find the third Lord God first." Su Xiao felt that it should be easy to take the torso of the third Lord God.
"Oh..." Jiang Qiqi felt a little uncomfortable at the back of her neck, "Can you please stop carrying me all the time? If it doesn't work, I'll help you hold the body, and you can use the energy shield to carry me."
Lidya Su lowered his eyes and glanced at her.
Jiang Qiqi subconsciously shrank her neck.
She knew she was being a bit arrogant, but having her neck pulled was really uncomfortable!
If you give her another chance, she will still say that!
But the next moment Su Xiao still drilled into her hand, and soon left behind a body, transforming into an energy shield.
The pale face in his arms looked up at Jiang Qiqi, and Jiang Qiqi reacted belatedly.
She was holding a corpse!
It’s different from the undead’s new body!
The undead's new body has no pores, and the skin is smooth and elastic.
But what was in front of him was a real corpse.
I wanted to slap myself. I should have let Lidya Su carry me.
