Chapter 876: Stay Away From
In the night sky, one lightning bolt after another rained down like a raging fire.
Lu Siya’s face was clouded by the lightning.
She looked at ng Chao calmly for a while.
Then, she suddenly burst into laughter.
“A second micro brain? Are you kidding ?”
Shaking her head, she mumbled, “The information we extracted from the micro computer is enough to prove that the space-based orbital weapons have dealt a devastating blow to the mother. Only a single seedling has fallen into our hands.
“Information can be tampered with or even fabricated. Even if the information is 100% true and comprehensive, as long as the order is adjusted, one thing can be twisted into another completely opposite thing.
“Since the Tree of Wisdom, the Supernatural Entity under the enemy’s command, can create a beautiful paradise that doesn’t exist to confuse us, how hard can it be for the enemy to hide the existence of another micro-brain?”
“But you have no evidence. All of this is just your speculation… No, it’s just your imagination.”
Lu Siya gently put her hands on ng Chao’s shoulders again, and her tone beca unusually gentle. “ng Chao, it seems that we’ve been training too hard and our nerves are too tense during this period of ti, which is why we have all kinds of symptoms. Listen to Sister Ya. After we return to Dragon City, we’ll rest well for a few days, recharge, and think more about our business and transactions—our future and the future of Dragon City are destined to be bright. Don’t worry too much and be too sensitive.”
“No, Sister Ya, you don’t understand. The future of Dragon City is far from ‘all light.’ I’m trying my best to find the trigger from light to darkness…”
ng Chao said in a low voice, “Indeed, I don’t have any evidence. The 99% probability is just my imagination. But if there’s a 1% probability, I’m right. Don’t you think it’s very scary?
“In the Earth era, there was an old saying, ‘Wu and Yue are in the sa boat’. That is to say, even if enemies like the people of Wu and the people of Yue are irreconcilable enemies, once they are on the sa boat and face the stormy waves, they have to work together to reach the other shore and save their lives.
“In the past decades, the monster civilization was like a surging river, a stormy wave that was enough to overturn the small boat that was Dragon City.
“It was precisely because of the monster civilization’s existence that the survivors who had accumulated all kinds of conflicts and hatred in the bloody era at the beginning of the transmigration, where resources were scarce, order collapsed, and the law of the jungle ran, were able to put aside their past grudges, ignore differences, give up disputes, and move forward together.
“The monster civilization tried to destroy us, but unintentionally, they beca the ‘glue’ and even the ‘shaping agent’ of Dragon City’s civilization. We made the monster civilization, and the monster civilization made us!
“But now, the monster civilization is dood. We thought that we had conquered the surging river. The ‘Wu people’ and the ‘Yue people’ have all gone ashore. We are absolutely safe now!
“Therefore, everyone, from the leaders of the corporations, the Deity Realm warriors, to the ordinary warriors who have yet to awaken their extraordinary powers, have turned their attention to the monster civilization’s legacy, the voice of Dragon City’s future, and the transformation of the external colonization chanism. The structural contradictions that have been accumulated in the Dragon City for decades are erupting.
“If at this ti, the monster civilization is not completely dead and still retains even 1% of its power, infiltrating the inner part of Dragon City with our unpredictable thods, don’t you think that it’s really dangerous?”
There was another point that ng Chao did not ntion.
Dragon City’s expansion would definitely not be as smooth as many citizens had imagined.
The so-called “iron flood, sweeping across the other world” might have been the case in the early stages, but soon, Dragon City civilization would hit an iron plate.
If Dragon City’s civilization and the indigenous civilization that had occupied the Other World for tens of thousands of years were to collide violently, the remaining power of the monster civilization would suddenly erge from the darkness and attack from both inside and outside.
That would be the most terrible disaster for Dragon City.
“…Alright.”
Lu Siya realized that she could not convince ng Chao no matter what.
She coughed lightly and rubbed her glabella harder. She said helplessly, “Then what are you going to do?”
“I want to end my cultivation early and go back to Dragon City to find Battle God Lei Zongchao. I want to tell him my worries and let him analyze them together.”
“As you know, I don’t have any evidence,” ng Chao said. “All the more reason for to summon all the forces in the city to be on high alert again.
“Sister Ya, I think you should go back to the Lu family and talk to your grandfather about it, too.
“Senior Lu Zhongqi was a witness to the last battle. I think that as long as you tell him such a dangerous possibility exists, he will definitely find more loopholes and clues.
“Then, we can deploy more manpower and resources to conduct a more detailed and comprehensive inspection of Ruins No. 2 and the entire sinkhole. We can ensure that even a mutated snake, insect, rat, and ant cannot escape from us.
“Only then will it be safe. Don’t worry.”
“The cost of doing so is very high,” Lu Siya said with a frown.
“No matter how high the cost is, it will be worth it to prevent the revival of the monster civilization.”
ng Chao said, “Besides, we were going to inspect Ruins No. 2 in the first place, because too many cultivators and researchers have been corrupted by mysterious forces. So of them even turned into a giant beetle in their sleep!
“I highly suspect that the mutation of these people was caused by the lingering ghosts of the monster civilization.
“Therefore, we are not going to conduct a new inspection. We are just going to upgrade the inspection that we are already conducting. Also, everyone who has been in and out of Ruins No. 2 and has co into contact with the monster mastermind should have a more thorough, detailed, and rigorous inspection. I think that’s the only way to be safe.”
“…Makes sense.”
Lu Siya seed to agree with him. “When are you going to return to Dragon City?”
“Now.”
ng Chao made a prompt decision. “Since we’ve detected the suspicious points, we have to, of course, seize every second. We can go and look for your father first. Since you said that Uncle Lu is known as the ‘gray fox,’ he will naturally be cautious and resourceful. I think he will be interested in the suspicious points that I have raised and send us back to the city before dawn. Sister Ya, what do you think?”
“I think… Cough, cough, I think…”
Lu Siya began to cough.
At first, it was just a few light coughs that tickled her throat.
Very soon, the coughs interrupted her rhythm of speech.
She coughed violently. Her entire body trembled from the coughing, and she bent down like a lobster.
The saliva that she coughed out was surrounded by streaks of glittering blood.
ng Chao turned pale with fright.
He sensed that Lu Siya’s body temperature had risen by seven or eight degrees in just half a minute. Then it dropped to around thirty degrees in an instant.
A normal person’s body would never experience such temperatures.
If it were a normal person, they would have gone into shock or even died by now.
“Sister Ya, what’s wrong?”
ng Chao hurried forward to help her up.
He felt every fiber of Lu Siya’s muscles twitching violently.
It was strange. According to the perception of his vitality magnetic field, Lu Siya had apparently fallen into an invisible ice cave, and her body was losing heat rapidly.
However, when ng Chao touched her shoulder and arm, his palm was felt so hot that blisters almost appeared on it.
It seed that an invisible fla was strangely burning on her skin.
“I. . . don’t know…”
Lu Siya staggered a few steps back and almost fell to the ground.
Bewildernt appeared on her face as she spoke intermittently. “It’s probably a side effect of spirit energy attacking the brain due to excessive training. Or perhaps, it’s the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning…”
Her vitality magnetic field gradually turned from a calm pond into boiling magma.
Even ng Chao could feel that sothing was about to crawl out from the depths of her brain.
ng Chao stepped forward again, grabbed Lu Siya’s hands, and injected a stream of spirit energy into her body in an attempt to resonate with her.
Both of them had been baptized by the Blue Origin Crystal.
The Blue Origin Crystal was the crystal with the strongest vitality. It was very effective in stimulating the growth of cells and promoting the healing of wounds.
When both of their vitality magnetic fields converged and the spirit energy in their bodies resonated, their self-healing ability would be increased by three to five tis.
Most of a person’s fatigue, diseases, poisons, and wounds could be healed without any dication.
Yet, this ti, no matter how much spirit energy ng Chao injected into Lu Siya’s body, it was like a clay ox entering the sea[1].
“I’m afraid that this is not a sign of ntal derangent!”
ng Chao frowned deeply. “I told you not to train so hard. Do you really think that it’s that easy to break through the peak of Heaven Realm.
“Who told you to train so fast? Breaking through to a whole new realm is not as easy as eating and drinking.”
Lu Siya raised her head, and a self-mocking smile appeared on her pale face. “I’m… Ahem, I’m not going to lose to you!”
“Aren’t we friends? Why are you competing with ?”
ng Chao did not know whether to laugh or cry.
He had been reborn at the end of the world, and he had been blessed by the Kindling. He was the chosen one.
Sister Ya could have competed with anyone, but she had to compete with him. Why did she have to do this?!
He raised his wrist and looked at his tactical watch.
As expected, all the numbers and information on it were blinking crazily.
Only the “Signal Strength” column was as calm as death.
Tonight should be the last rainstorm of the rainy season.
This was the most chaotic place in the planet’s magnetic field, and it had the most intense spirit magnetic interference in the entire Hidden Mist Domain.
Of course, there was no signal, so there was no way to contact the outside world directly.
No one would hear their voices in the raging storm and deafening thunder.
“I’ll carry you down the mountain now.”
ng Chao made a speedy decision. “I’ll go to the hospital and find soone strong enough to examine you!”
He reached out to pull Lu Siya.
However, Lu Siya used the last of her strength and gave him a hard push.
Then, she fell into the muddy water.
“Sister Ya, what’s wrong?” ng Chao was stunned.
“I, I don’t know…”
Lu Siya looked at her hands in a daze. The confusion and pain on her face grew stronger. She murmured, “I just think… you should… stay away… from … as far as possible…”
