Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 424: Gao Ye's End

Chapter 424: Gao Ye’s End

“Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid. I’ve left behind an escape route for myself. The rock structures I changed spontaneously and the tunnel I dug could only allow a human to crawl in it. If things didn’t work out, I would have fled without hesitation, and the mastermind wouldn’t be able to chase after me.”

Lu Siya looked like she could not stand it when Meng Chao looked at her with grat.i.tude. She smirked and said, “As for the gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid you’ve been absorbing over the past few days? Of course it’s expensive.

“It’s supreme-grade stuff I wouldn’t be able to bear using usually, but since your const.i.tution is rather special, we can use you to test a few high-grade crystals with radiations that are especially domineering and see their effects on human cells. It will give us valuable data, and it’ll be highly beneficial for the cultivation of the people in the future. So, Sky Pillar Corporation didn’t suffer any losses.”

Meng Chao was a little stunned. “Special const.i.tution?”

“Yeah. Didn’t you know?” Lu Siya asked expressionlessly. “Congratulations, you’re the superhuman who has been going up the cultivation realms the fastest in the last ten years in Dragon City. In just a short year and a half, you turned from a normal human to a Heaven Realm superhuman. Even those who have been climbing up the cultivation realms as fast as you did were rarely found over the past half a century. You can count them with just one hand.”

“Is that so?” Meng Chao was delighted and smiled as brilliantly as the sun.

“Don’t be so happy yet.” Lu Siya changed the topic and schooled her expression. “They say that you’ll never achieve your goals if you go so fast. Cultivating too fast is not something good. At the same time the spirit energy value in your cells increases by leaps and bounds, your bones, blood vessels, muscles, nerves, brain cells, organs, and your mysterious soul might not be fully prepared.

“The fine hidden injuries from cultivation cannot be detected even with the most advanced medical equipment. Still, they might affect your cultivation in the future, which would send you through spirit energy deviation, and you will end up as a cripple or a lost person.

“That’s how the path of cultivation is. The more power you gain, the higher the price you have to pay, and the higher the risk you have to face. Over the past half a century, there were plenty of amazing people, geniuses, and monsters who climbed up the cultivation realms at high speeds, but they usually didn’t end up well.

“Either the blood vessels in their brains and their bones exploded because of spirit energy deviation and they had to spend the rest of their lives in the ICUs of hospitals or their brains melted because of spirit energy. Their minds were distorted to the point that they couldn’t communicate with others, and they ended up as monsters in human skin. The adjudicators then had to take action and suppress them.

“Those who successfully reach Deity Realm and can command the world have all reached their current states one steady step at a time, and that includes the nine great cultivation families. All of them discourage climbing up the cultivation realms too quickly. You must build a solid foundation in each cultivation realm before trying to reach a new realm.

“Of course, your situation is rather unique. After all, no one before you has ever received such a fierce impact from spirit energy tsunamis created by Red Radiance Jades and Blue Origin Crystals at the same time. That’s why I can’t give you too many useful suggestions. I can only say that you must constantly pay attention to your body and your mind. If you find anything wrong, you must immediately tell your lecturers, doctors, or me. We’ll all try to help you.”

Meng Chao nodded and said, “Honestly, I uphold the belief that I should cultivate one steady step at a time as well. But... it might be because I have great talent, which is why I just advance so quickly. I can’t do anything about it, and I feel troubled too.”

Lu Siya said nothing. She just stared at him in silence.

“Alright, I’m sorry. Thanks for your concern, Big Sis Ya.” Meng Chao raised his hands in surrender and changed the topic. “By the way, how many days have I been in the hospital? How’s the situation from that night?”

Lu Siya told Meng Chao that he had been hospitalized for three days and nights.

Thanks to him, the abnormal beasts’ scheme against n.o.ble Descent Hotel was completely destroyed.

The transmigration specialists of Project 101, the investors who were pa.s.sionate about controllable transmigration technology, and the core members of Blue Home were all fine.

Professor Lu Tianxing, Dragon City’s top transmigration expert, Blue Home committee member Zhao Feixuan, and the others were all saved.

The fierce fighting around the hotel and the southern part of the city ended with humans as the victors before dawn arrived.

The losses were naturally devastating.

The new zombie virus and Blood Flowers had appeared at the same time, and they caught the Dragon Citizens off guard.

Once the first wave of attacks ended, the zombies and undead appeared one after another, creating great trouble.

But as Meng Chao destroyed the Demonic Abyss Eye’s brain deep underground, the remaining monsters were no longer under its influence and immediately returned to being inferior life forms who were not yet enlightened. They were like scattered sand, and soon, the humans used heavy firepower to kill and suppress them.

Countless citizens, the Red Dragon Army, and superhumans worked together to stabilize the defense lines again, and the tragedy of the undead destroying the defense lines at the residential areas no longer happened.

After the battle, they counted their casualties, and it was about the same as the last super large scale monster invasion when the fog enveloped the whole city.

When they considered that this was the first appearance of the new zombie virus and Blood Flower-infested undead in urban warfare, the number of casualties was within acceptable range.

The specialists in the zombie research center and monster research center were currently working overnight to develop the vaccine for the new zombie virus and the antidote for the Blood Flowers.

The Red Dragon Army and the hunting squads formed by the superhumans targeted the new zombie viruses and undead. They formed corresponding strategies and new war preparation regulations for civilians.

Meng Chao believed that when the new zombie virus, undead, and an even stronger abnormal beast army appeared the next time, they would face newly equipped humans who had become incredibly strong.

“That’s good. As long as the number of casualties isn’t high, that’s good.”

Meng Chao sighed in relief.

The transmigration project was protected, and Blue Home did not lose its core members.

This meant that the Home Party might not walk down the extreme criminal path.

The Home Party and Colonization Party would then compete with each other using lawful methods in the Survival Committee, and the possibility of them setting a balanced goal might still happen.

“By the way, the Dem... the abnormal beasts’ mastermind really died, right?” Meng Chao asked.

He was not sure whether the Demonic Abyss Eye had obtained some of his memories during the final moment. After all, his mind had been connected to the Demonic Abyss Eye’s mind, which had transferred some of its memories to him at that time.

If the Demonic Abyss Eye was still alive and learned of the secret that he had returned to the past, things would be bad.

But Meng Chao had never been a fainthearted person.

In any case, he had just returned from the apocalypse. It was not as if he had done something unlawful.

He never said anything in the past because he was too weak and was worried about being threatened and used by others.

Now, he had reached Heaven Realm. Superstar and the Broken Star Club were both growing. He also rode on the coattails of Lu Siya, Li Yingzi, Gu Jianbo, Yan Hengbo, Ning Shewo, Luo Wu, the abnormal beast research department, the Agricultural University’s martial arts course... among others.

Revealing his secrets to trustworthy good friends who had gone through thick and thin with him and fought with him side by side should help in his quest to change Dragon City’s future.

However, the appearance of the X-shaped eye added some variables to this matter.

The Supernatural Ent.i.ties were related to the X-shaped eye.

This meant that the source of the monster civilization and Supernatural Ent.i.ties might have come from within Dragon City, or at the very least, one of the parts was within the city.

Their enemy was not just monsters.

There was a high likelihood that one of the supreme superhumans in Dragon City who sat at a high place in the city was his enemy.

Then, he could not readily reveal any of his secrets. Otherwise, not only would he be in danger, the friends who heard of the secret might also be involved in this bizarre vortex.

“It’s completely dead.” Lu Siya frowned a little and said, “More than 50% of its body was composed of brain cells. It was really fragile, and your spirit flames rained down on it like a volcano eruption. They instantly burnt it to a crisp. We can’t even find half a piece of tissue that has slight activity, so we can’t a.n.a.lyze the secrets behind the abnormal beasts’ mastermind now. It’s a bit of a pity.”

It was only then that Meng Chao relaxed.

Then, he remembered something even more important, and he asked nervously, “What about Gao Ye? How is he?”

Compared to the Demonic Abyss Eye’s death, Meng Chao was more concerned as to whether Gao Ye was still alive.

An expression that was a mix between puzzlement and conflict appeared on Lu Siya’s face.

After hesitating for a long time, she shook her head and said, “I’m not sure whether he can be considered dead or alive in his current condition.”

Meng Chao widened his eyes and asked, “What do you mean?”

“The Ultimate Sandworm is still alive, but there’s no evidence or signs that human consciousness and intelligence still exists in his nervous system,” Lu Siya said. “Right now, the Ultimate Sandworm is really just an inferior life form. Its survival habits are no different from those of a normal sandworm, and it doesn’t provide any reaction to our stimulations.”

“It doesn’t?” Meng Chao felt despondent.

He remembered that when the Demonic Abyss Eye’s mental power kept growing in the underground, it had turned itself into a huge fireball that could burn the world. At that time, a shining speck of dust had run into it like a moth flying to flames.

Gao Ye was the one who saved him.

He burned with his human dignity and pride to break the Demonic Abyss Eye’s mind control and created an opening.

Meng Chao had not won against the Demonic Abyss Eye alone.

Instead, he had worked together with Gao Ye and Lu Siya to kill it.

“Where is he now?” Meng Chao asked. “Where is Gao Ye?”

“If you’re talking about the Ultimate Sandworm, he’s currently in a special plant in the monster research center. There are super strong alloy barriers installed underground, along with monitoring systems and alarms. He should be very safe,” Lu Siya said. “Speaking of which, even though he doesn’t have human consciousness now, he seems to have broken free of the abnormal beasts’ control and isn’t showing any aggressiveness.”

“That’s good.” Meng Chao contemplated it for a moment. “The monster research center... didn’t cut him up to research him, right?”

“What are you thinking about?” Lu Siya laughed in spite of herself. “You’re a harvester and monster researcher yourself. You should know just how advanced our gene editing and biochemical technology is now. The new nervous system in the Ultimate Sandworm does indeed have great research value, but we don’t have to kill him to research him!

“Honestly, a living Ultimate Sandworm is one hundred times more valuable than a cut up one that has become just samples. The monster research center isn’t so short-sighted.”

“That’s true.” Meng Chao sighed in relief.

He knew that he was too worried, and it affected his judgment.

Perhaps to Gao Ye, this was the best end.

After all, he was the same as Lin Chuan. He had helped the enemy and made a lot of mistakes that could not be forgiven. Even if he were alive, it would be difficult for him to face his human kin.

Gao Ye’s human soul should be just allowed to sleep quietly in the monster’s body.

Perhaps there would come a day when Dragon City would become stronger and better, and when the humans could solve their conflicts with monsters properly, they could even develop a brand new technology to awaken Gao Ye’s soul and let him see the new era.

There were countless possibilities in the future, so they might actually be able to do it.
