How could he just let go and leave?
It wasn’t just friends, he had family, he still had to break out of Cri Prison Island and go ho to see Aunt Yao, who he regarded as his mother.
"What’s missing... What else do I need for the leap of life to occur?"
Gao Xin finally stopped stubbornly imagining that swallowing a piece of blade, treated as dicine, would allow him to evolve.
It had been too long, with no effect for such a prolonged period; he had to consider that this was futile.
But he wasn’t truly wavering! He simply accepted the fact that the human body couldn’t leap to a higher form of life out of thin air.
He always believed in the power of life, the supre force capable of creating that mysterious purple mist-like substance.
It’s just that he was missing sothing, because the physical laws are incredibly powerful, and a material basis is indispensable.
It must be the case; he was lacking the basic materials...
"No matter what I’m missing, I have to gather it all."
"Aunt Yao said that all things in the world belong to the five elents."
"No matter what materials were used to create that dicine by AI, as long as I have all the five elents within my body, it should definitely work."
"Could it be beyond the three realms and not among the five elents?"
Gao Xin’s mind was really about to lt. At this mont, his thoughts were bizarre, treating the words spoken by the charlatan Aunt Yao who had raised him as the truth.
But as soon as he thought of sothing, he acted on it. Though he couldn’t move, he could still rely on the last bit of neurotransmitter to issue commands to the digestion bacteria.
The bacteria were fully exposed, even feeding on him.
They had developed well. What looked like threads of pus and blood on Gao Xin’s belly were actually them, their mycelia spreading all over the grass.
Gao Xin made them eat soil, grass, anything, so much so that he increasingly resembled a rotting corpse.
"It devoured Sasaki’s knife, which is tal... and now it has consud soil and grass..."
"Still missing... still missing water... fire..."
"Water..."
...
The next day... dusk.
A few hounds, following the scent, ran over.
They found the person lying down and barked several tis.
"What have you found?"
The bushes in the distance were pushed aside, and a group of won suddenly erged.
The leading white woman, with black hair and brown eyes, had a decent face but an unusually tall figure, standing at one ter ninety.
She was dressed in black leather armor made from the hide of an unknown animal, wielding a shield in one hand and an axe in the other, looking like a wild person.
This was an extrely muscular woman, radiating a masculine beauty. Her arms were firm and strong, exuding a healthy vitality. Especially the grandeur of her breasts was exaggerated.
Behind her, dozens more followed, all of them won!
A portion of them were clearly Radiations, though none as masculine as the first woman. All of them had muscles throughout their bodies, but their lines were smooth and beautiful, displaying a healthy and agile beauty reminiscent of a cheetah.
"Leader, there’s a corpse here," a high ponytail woman with two swords strapped to her back pointed at Gao Xin on the ground.
"I see it. The Yakuza have been here; stay alert!" said the female leader.
The many weapon-wielding won imdiately guarded their surroundings, even taking out binoculars to observe down the mountain and keep an eye on the direction of Yamaguchi Village.
Below the mountain was a wasteland, and then the Radiation Base.
From this position, the entirety of the Radiation Base could be overseen.
The female leader crouched down, touched the body, and ca up with a handful of pus and blood: "He died from genetic collapse. Strange, the Yakuza haven’t used this place as a mass grave for two years..."
As she spoke, suddenly the ’corpse’ moved, with a subtle yet intense fluctuation in the chest.
"Urgh... Hiss..."
"Ah! He’s still alive!"
The won were startled, especially the Glass People among them, who couldn’t help but scream.
They had never seen such a ghastly figure being alive, thinking they had seen a ghost.
"Quiet!" the female leader imdiately glared at the screaming won.
The won shut their mouths imdiately, timidly watching Gao Xin on the ground.
The female leader looked sympathetically at the struggling Gao Xin and sighed, "Alive? No, he’s as good as dead."
"You newcors haven’t seen this... This is genetic collapse."
The high ponytail woman checked and said, "Leader, this man not only suffered from genetic collapse but also sustained severe injuries."
"Many cells have already died, and he has maggot-infested wounds; heaven knows how long he’s lain here."
The female leader was shocked and exclaid, "Unbelievable, that he could cling to life until his muscles dissolved. What kind of will to survive do you have?"
The other won looked on with fear, curiosity, and pity.
A delicate-looking woman stepped forward, and though she was a Glass Person, she bravely knelt down, cleaning the maggots from Gao Xin’s body and shooing away the hunting dogs owned by their female group.
"Leader, please save him."
The female leader shook her head, "It’s beyond saving; we don’t have gene protectors, and genetic collapse is certain death."
"So we just watch him die?" the frail woman said unwillingly.
The female leader’s eyes hardened. "Xiao Yan, how many tis have I told you, you must be heartless."
"Every day, people die on this island. Right here on this mountain, it used to be a mass grave, littered with corpses thrown away by the Yakuza."
"It’s only in the last two years; they’ve raised Radiation Beasts and stopped throwing them here."
The high ponytail woman also scolded, "The leader rescued you from the Yakuza, but that doesn’t an she can save everyone."
As she spoke, she looked at the darkening sky, where dark clouds were approaching, and added, "Let’s go! This place is too close to Yakuza territory, and a downpour is on its way."
