That's great. If we can really achieve that, there's at least one high-grade crystal in this place. Even if it's not as good as hers and Nie Jingxing's, it's enough for her to develop many, many gene-based drugs.
Unable to contain his excitement, Lin Changli grabbed Si Yu's hand and pressed it to his heart, causing his face to immediately darken.
Si Yu was embarrassed: "Kong Sang..."
"Stop thinking nonsense. Feel your abilities. Are they under your control?"
Si Yu paused for a moment, then tried to use his ability, only to be surprised to find that he couldn't. He felt a similar sense of frustration as before.
Kong Sang could tell what was going on from Si Yu's expression. He clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Here is what I need. Its genetic level is far higher than yours, so you will be suppressed."
"Even mutated genes will still have resonating gene chains. For example, if you are a level 1 gene and the other is a level 3 gene, then in the gene hierarchy, you are naturally obligated to submit."
"The thing inside is a fire-attribute gene. You are weaker than it, so it wants to devour you to grow stronger. The survival of the fittest is the nature of any species."
The explanation was simple and clear, even a fool could understand it. Si Yu asked strangely, "Then you and I aren't the same type, are we?"
Kong Sang Xiao happily said, "When I saved you just now, my blood was mixed into your body. From a genetic level perspective, you can understand me as your master!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Ye's face darkened immediately; he had even injected Nie Kongsang's lifeblood...
Lin Changli's second dark face, what kind of master is he? There's just something unsettling about him...
Si Yu blushed the third time... "Master"? How embarrassing!
Knowing that what he wanted was indeed here, Kong Sang was extremely happy, and his spirits improved considerably.
Without needing Lin Changli to carry her, Lan Ye walked ahead on her own. As if knowing that the others had something to say, Lan Ye took the initiative to follow Nie Kongsang to protect her, keeping a distance from them.
After a brief exchange, Si Yu's eyes widened: "Holy crap...you mean An Xiuqi is inside Kong Sang's body? What the hell...this is terrifying!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down. We just suspect it's possible. Don't overreact," Yu Wei whispered.
Qi Yun pondered deeply and said, "According to An Xiuqi, the price for jumping through time and space to send us back was his own annihilation. He shouldn't exist in reality, but in fact, he is present in the Nie family..."
"Furthermore, the fact that he sought out Lin Changli during the apocalypse as a coming-of-age gift for Nie Kongsang means..."
"That means he jumped through time himself," Lin Changli said sarcastically.
Si Yu gasped, "Wait... you mean this guy is switching between the future and the past, not... what's his motive?"
"Go home!"
Yu Wei continued in a low voice, "When I first met him, I was surrounded by zombies and was trying to struggle. He just watched from a distance and didn't save me."
He said living was tiring and suggested I get rid of it, but I refused, saying I wanted to live, have a warm home, and live a normal and happy life.
Si Yu raised an eyebrow: "He saved you."
"Well, I followed him after that. He said he also wanted a home, but he couldn't go back. He kept trying to find a way. After we slowly got together, I asked him out of curiosity, but he said that was a place I couldn't go to."
"He also said... that he sacrificed something precious in order to go home, and he regretted it and wanted to make amends."
The four of them focused their gazes on Kong Sang, who was arguing with Lan Ye in front of them, their expressions complicated. Could it be...?
Si Yu clicked his tongue: "My Sang's identity is getting more and more complicated. Maybe all this talk about saving the world is just An Xiuqi fooling us. Saving people is a more accurate description. This bastard is all talk and no action. Is he even human?"
“It’s not necessarily a person.” Qi Yun Shen said calmly, but his words were anything but calm.
Lin Changli agreed, "That thing doesn't look human at all. I've always been surprised that such a thing could exist among humans. If it's not human, then it makes sense."
Si Yu was amused: "Then I'm quite surprised that you're human. In my opinion, you and An Xiuqi are more like the same category."
"What are you whispering about? Did you mention An Xiuqi again?" Kong Sang ran up to Lin Changli and asked curiously.
Lin Changli hugged Kong Sang: "Yeah, he's Yu Wei's ex-boyfriend. You know, the white moonlight is just a mosquito bite, you can't forget it."
"It's normal that I can't forget him. He's so handsome, I have a strange sense of closeness to him. It must be his face that's making me feel this way."
The others' expressions changed slightly, and Kong Sang asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Lin Changli chuckled: "It's nothing. While you're in good spirits, let's finish this quickly, deal with Tianhuang Village, and return to the capital. We have some personal matters to attend to; I can't wait any longer."
Kong Sang's face instantly turned red. This bastard was still thinking about that kind of thing. Was he driven by lust?
The group remained silent and quickened their pace, soon arriving at the place where Si Yu had broken his leg. Si Yu's expression darkened slightly; the memory of suffering such a great loss was not pleasant.
This place was much narrower than the passage we had just passed, almost half the size of the previous one, and the ground was nothing special.
If I had to put it into words... there were many more glowing stones on the walls, illuminating the passage very clearly, so clearly that they were covered with countless wriggling, black, thread-like worms.
Si Yu exclaimed, "Damn it! I was so dazed at the time that I didn't look closely. Could this thing have crawled into my body? My whole body feels weird."
Kong Sang reassured him, "It's alright if you crawl in. Your skin has been replaced dozens of times by Yong Sheng, so it's perfectly clean."
Si Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "What is this thing? It's disgusting. Let's burn it all."
With a flick of the wrist, flames appeared out of nowhere, coalescing into a line of fire that burrowed into the passage. Embarrassingly, the insects were unharmed and wriggled even more vigorously.
Kong Sang glanced at him sideways: "Are you stupid? I already said that thing's genetic level is higher than yours. It's like a local official scolding a subordinate of a high-ranking official in the capital. Does he even care?"
When the incompetent is in the wrong, remain as quiet as a chicken.
Lin Changli looked at it disdainfully more than a dozen times before doing the exact same thing as Si Yu, creating a stream of water that rushed over, instantly reducing the number of insects by a large margin.
Si Yu's face darkened further, feeling humiliated.
After several impacts, the wall was clean. When the group walked over, they could see that there were many engravings on the wall, which looked like some kind of formula. They were all complex letters that they couldn't understand.
Kong Sang walked closer and scanned it, then sneered, "This must have been written by Nie Qu. It shows the composition of the first few generations of gene drugs. I now know the story that No. 79 didn't finish telling."
"Nie Qu must have determined what was inside the Phoenix Stone and activated it with the initial gene drug, but the experiment failed, and the Phoenix Stone instead emitted a substance similar to radiation."
Si Yu's face was icy: "So he escaped, and Tianhuang Village became the victim. Over the years, he has harmed wave after wave of travelers. How can he sleep when he hears the news?"
