Zhou Bai, after hearing what Christina had said, spoke in a suppressed tone, "Who are you?"
A burly man with a full beard poked his head over, "We are the Heavenly Rescue Team, taking you to the nearest base. Don't worry, you're safe now."
"We?" Zhou Bai was stunned, "Is there anyone else who survived besides ?"
"Yes, a little girl," the bearded man frowned, "But her condition isn't very optimistic. You're better off since your Primordial Spirit has awakened. That little girl's body has been infected by Pollutive Ling Qi and has demonized, so the situation is quite dangerous."
Unexpectedly, soone else had survived other than him. Zhou Bai exclaid excitedly, "Can I see her?"
"Don't be anxious yet, you'll get a chance to et her once we reach the base." The man consoled Zhou Bai but kept so words to himself, "Surviving healthily after demonization is extrely rare, maintaining sanity in such a condition is even harder. Whether that little girl can survive depends on luck."
"Pollutive Ling Qi..." Zhou Bai saw that the man was only wearing a T-shirt yet could stay outside unhard and quickly asked, "Can you avoid infection from Pollutive Ling Qi?"
The bearded man imdiately understood what Zhou Bai was thinking and explained, "We are different from you. Before we were born, we underwent Primordial Spirit adjustnt through celestial technology, and after birth, we were administered the Runic Vaccine. That's why we can move freely outside.
But even so, there are still dangers during cultivation. It's best to practice in a location protected by large arrays. Also, we can't stay outside for prolonged periods."
'Primordial Spirit adjustnt... Runic Vaccine... then why didn't Dr. Zhuang...' Zhou Bai shook his head, trying hard to understand the aning of the man's words, 'Can we undergo Primordial Spirit adjustnt and Runic Vaccine?'
The bearded man said, "Primordial Spirit adjustnt can only be done before birth. As for the Runic Vaccine, you'll get it once we return. Don't worry, the carriage's speed is quite fast, and we'll arrive soon. Your infection isn't severe, and with the anti-infection gear you're wearing, you should hold up with your Primordial Spirit."
Zhou Bai felt slightly reassured. The bearded man, on the other hand, looked at him curiously, "Were you attacked by the Heavenly Demon?"
At the ntion of the Heavenly Demon, Zhou Bai's face changed slightly, the mory of the scene replaying in his mind, his expression darkening.
He nodded, "Our teacher self-destructed his Primordial Spirit to kill the Heavenly Demon and saved us."
The bearded man was slightly stunned upon hearing this, then shook his head, "I admire your teacher, but to be honest, the Heavenly Demon can't be killed."
Seeing Zhou Bai's puzzled look, the bearded man continued, "The essence of the Heavenly Demon's life is very special, not belonging to any known life forms. It's said that as long as the Demon Empress is alive, no matter how many tis they die, they will be reborn in the Heavenly Demon Pool."
Zhou Bai, thinking about the snake-like Heavenly Demon still being alive, clenched his fists instantly, "How can this be?"
"In this world... even the Heavenly Dao can be twisted, what else is impossible?" The bearded man shrugged. Seeing Zhou Bai gritting his teeth, he asked, "What's wrong? Angry? This world is like this. The heavenly court has been fighting the Heavenly Demon for hundreds of years, and the situation is only getting worse."
Zhou Bai said, "Then just kill the Demon Empress and destroy that Heavenly Demon Pool."
"What?" The bearded man looked at Zhou Bai and laughed, "You're really young... others have tried before, and the result was turning Earth into a doomsday. Now, the fact that we are still alive is a blessing, yet you want to kill them all..."
The bearded man shook his head, with an indescribable sadness in his eyes, "You don't understand the horror of the Heavenly Demon."
"I will kill them all." Zhou Bai clenched his fists, recalling the rivers of blood back at the base, then looked at the auxiliary system in his consciousness. Filled with hatred, he thought, "Heavenly Demon... just wait until I get stronger, then I'll wipe you all out."
The bearded man rolled his eyes, not taking Zhou Bai's words to heart. Looking at the scenery outside the window, he said, "We're here, get ready to get off."
After getting off, Zhou Bai realized that the 'carriage' he was in was made of bronze. The bronze horse pulling the carriage stepped forward, lifting the entire carriage one ter off the ground and hovered away.
'What kind of black technology is this?' Zhou Bai was astonished as he watched the scene, 'Maglev Carriage?' Looking at the carriage, Zhou Bai didn't know whether to consider it advanced or primitive.
On another carriage, Elsa was carried down on a stretcher. Her entire body was covered in golden fur, wrapped in nurous rectangular talismans, binding her tightly like a layer of confinent.
"Elsa!"
Seeing Zhou Bai trying to walk up, the bearded man stopped him, "Don't worry, we'll do our best to save her. If you go over now, you'll just get in the way. Once she is better, I'll take you to see her."
Zhou Bai restrained his excitent, nodded, and followed the bearded man's arrangents.
Next, Zhou Bai, following the bearded man, entered the base ahead. What t his eyes were rows of white single-story houses, and white walls, all exuding a minimalist style.
Then ca a series of examinations, questions, vaccinations, and treatnts.
When the Runic Vaccine was injected into Zhou Bai's forehead by an elder using Primordial Spirit, Zhou Bai imdiately felt a fine, long-lasting power surge into his mind, rapidly multiplying and replicating, eventually forming countless runes wrapping around his sea of consciousness like chains.
Christina looked thoughtfully at the Runic Vaccine, "It indeed has protective runes, should be able to prevent you from being infected by Pollutive Ling Qi outside."
The elderly man who injected the vaccine looked at Zhou Bai and said, "Rember, the vaccine isn't invincible. The longer you stay outside, the more the power of the runes will be consud, increasing your chances of infection. Generally, you must return to the safe zone to rest after a maximum of seven days, giving the Runic Vaccine a break too."
Zhou Bai nodded, and then he was taken away for treatnt.
In the modern society of the past, his injuries might have taken months to heal.
However, in this world, with thods of cultivation, spells, runes, and arrays, Zhou Bai only had to take a few doses of elixirs to stabilize his condition. With proper rest for a week or two, he would fully recover.
After repeatedly confirming that Zhou Bai had no further issues, he was assigned a room, and his personal belongings were returned to him.
The entire process of examination, vaccination, and treatnt was very swift and simple, with minimal formalities or procedures. Zhou Bai noticed that this seed to be a characteristic here, everything was quick, simple, and efficient, with no unnecessary wastage of ti or resources.
Zhou Bai pondered in his heart: 'Is this extrely efficiency-oriented style due to the long-term war?'
'But such a large human force, did Dr. Zhuang not know of their existence? Why did he always claim we were the last humans?'
