1218: Chapter 1204: Surviving by Amputating a Limb 1218: Chapter 1204: Surviving by Amputating a Limb The dock was packed with people, a sight that was once rare to see, but this ti the human professionals appeared quite orderly.
So were quietly discussing, while others were annoyed, pouring out their grievances…
Most of them wore grim expressions, with fatigue being the prevailing look.
The world’s isolation was too sudden, breaking all plans and separating many friends and teams.
It was like the modern world, once connected by high-speed trains, airplanes, and the internet, suddenly lost the network and most of its transportation facilities, leaving only the outdated and inefficient marine transport.
The originally unified “world” was directly isolated into individual islands, it wouldn’t be surprising for people to feel neither urgent nor chaotic.
“….Fortunately, things haven’t co to the worst.”
After the plan was initiated, those docunt bags that were finally sent to various locations at least dealt with so “future issues”.
Thus, although there was still so panic and unease, at least it did not lead to a panic due to lack of information…..
A sudden blackout and a notified maintenance shutdown exert entirely different pressures on those waiting.
Among a group of anxious people, Lu Ping’an seed the most relaxed.
Walking on the seaside wooden boards, Lu Ping’an enjoyed the comfortable sea breeze, gazing at the seascape, and waiting for the arrival of the big ship.
Without the Redemption, even now, he could only honestly hitch a ride out to sea.
“….How embarrassing.”
Accepting the fast food that Lu Ping’an had bought over, i Yuge, sitting on the chair, felt sowhat embarrassed.
As a subordinate going out with the boss, how could she let the boss take care of everything?
“It’s fine, I’ve gathered so information along the way, and it seems a lot of people are panicking…..
Besides, you really are inconvenienced right now.”
Lu Ping’an subconsciously glanced at the woman’s right foot, which reflected the luster of tal.
i Yuge had shown Lu Ping’an before, in a previous battle, she had lost part of her right foot below the knee, and now it looked like a support made of several steel pipes and sticks tied together.
From the woman’s limping movents, obviously, this makeshift prosthetic limb was not well-fitted.
“…I’ll have Fang Wen make one that fits you.”
“There’s no need, this one has a chanism.”
Saying so, the woman even showed Lu Ping’an the “ice block” inside the makeshift steel pipe prosthetic.
In Lu Ping’an’s eyes, it appeared to be “water” compressed to the extre.
It seed, even the prosthetic limb was a part of her weapon.
“You can make requests to her, she can help you modify one that is suitable as a weapon-type prosthetic limb.”
i Yuge’s wound was one that Lu Ping’an had observed and it was already “complete”…..
This was actually not a good sign for her.
Lu Ping’an’s healing ability was almost useless for old wounds, and for the Sixth Tier Peak i Yuge, the help from average healers was nearly non-existent…..
This old wound, even devoid of nerves, might be beyond the ans of a high-level Healer’s “limb regeneration”.
“Then, thank you in advance.”
After thinking for a mont, i Yuge did not refuse again.
Now recalling the past, she was certain that the tal Man who was always scowling in the courtyard was indeed an extraordinary machinery master.
Regardless of her limping now, the “vent” that was made actually beca her fifth “Phantom Limb”, a kind of extra organ similar to elent manipulation.
In actual combat, as long as she truly activated her Talent Abilities, her mobility would not be affected, and installing so advanced prosthetic limb would be basically useless to her…..
but since it was this man’s goodwill, she did not refuse it.
The two sat on the wooden chairs by the sea, watching the seabirds pass by, while also engaging in idle chatter.
Most of the ti, it was i Yuge talking, with Lu Ping’an listening…..
Compared to hearsay, the information provided by i Yuge might not be the most comprehensive, but it was probably the most reliable.
The era has changed a lot.
Heaven knows how many tis the population of the Long Hand Clan has multiplied over the years, but at its craziest, having five generations under one roof beca a norm.
The birth of a multitude of Newborns made the new generation of the Long Hand Clan, and even the entire society, seem young and vibrant.
The books that Lu Ping’an saw before truly changed the thoughts of many young people…
but most Newborns still neither read nor attended school.
If one must make a sowhat inappropriate comparison, it’s like the darkest of tis, where various ideologies—revolution, feudalism, primitive superstition, and even racism—were mixed together.
So understood and believed them, while others treated them rely as conversational pieces.
Accordingly, the attitude of the various islands and ethnic groups toward humans also varied greatly.
So were as friendly as this island, others saw humans as invaders, and there were even those who disregarded them…
“…Has the World Consciousness completely fallen into slumber?”
As they chatted, i Yuge couldn’t help but ask.
Unlike the past, she now had access to frontline information.
“Hard to say, it’s very hard to tell whether It’s temporarily asleep or permanently so.”
Lu Ping’an furrowed his brow; so things even the planners and schers find difficult to clarify.
Based on the intelligence and the scenes that occurred at that ti, there were multiple daggers that pierced into the World Consciousness simultaneously.
But obviously, Elder Liu’s “Nature’s Curse” was the most vicious and targeted…
a curse to return It to nature, which is the very instinct of World Consciousness, and It probably found it extrely hard to resist.
But witnessing that scene, Lu Ping’an also vaguely guessed…
“Dismbernt for survival, huh…
Oh, sorry, I didn’t an you.”
Facing the sowhat confused woman, Lu Ping’an explained a couple of sentences.
Waiting for Nature’s Curse to spread would be too late.
Severing the eroded, problematic part is the most direct and effective way to save oneself.
At that mont, the countless shooting stars that fell from the sky were likely the “parts” torn from the World Consciousness…
“…But there is a completely opposite possibility…”
If the whole is beyond saving, then those torn-off parts might just be the only salvageable parts.
The two completely opposite possibilities an little more than the difference between a major victory and a minor victory for high-level humans like Lu Ping’an.
But the transmission of intelligence to every corner also resulted in a death warrant for the “shattered parts.”
From the start, these matters had all been calculated by the human high level, though they had also paid a substantial price.
All this was written inside the highest-grade intelligence bag that Lu Ping’an had, and this ti he took a ship to head for the nearest “Falling Site.”
“If It hasn’t fallen asleep, we will ensure It sleeps to death…”
——–
——-
When high-level professionals like Lu Ping’an started to get busy with such intelligence, so things were also quietly changing.
In ten years, the original gates to the Exotic Realm had been weakened or even sealed…
but these days, even more gates had appeared around where the original ones were.
The slumber and weakening of the World Consciousness directly led to the obvious weakening of the World Barriers, also bringing in more Exotic Realm Invaders.
Though this was anticipated, the frontlines didn’t show significant flaws…
But more “frontlines” erged from Spatial Rifts, adding pressure to the entire world.
And as the attention of ordinary warriors was drawn to these new Exotic Realm Invaders, so subtle troubles were brewing.
Among the “Star fragnts” that fell that night, so plunged into the depths of the ocean, and others onto land.
Yet the majority of the places where they landed were far from uninhabited…
In the deep sea, a Devouring Sky Beast slowly rose to the surface, within a volcano, the Fla Holy Beast completed its rebirth, and even in a remote deep mountain village, the eyes of a group of young people were filled with starlight.
