59: A pool of lunar soil evolution liquid
Chapter 59: A Pool of Moon Soil Evolution Fluid
The sun rose as usual, casting a glow of morning light everywhere.
At this moment, a figure lay prostrate on the grass near the interior of Kunlun Mountain, his entire body stained crimson with blood. From a distance, he looked like a piece of meat that had been carved off.
The colorful morning glow gently brushed his soft hair, making the blood shimmer with an unusual luster.
A faint heartbeat proved that this 'meat' was alive.
He slowly opened his eyes and was stunned. Was he dreaming?
Or had he already died and arrived at the legendary heaven?
Before his eyes were countless massive, modern buildings, stretching as far as the eye could see. Skyscrapers of various designs stood tall, some reaching tens of thousands of meters.
Transparent corridors connected the buildings, and overpasses crisscrossed between them, just like the three-dimensional cities described in novels.
Not only that, but the skyscrapers were covered in various green plants. The most prominent feature on the building closest to Xu Jingzhe was a pothos plant, its roots and stems extending from the fifteenth floor downwards, each leaf as large as a banana leaf.
"Is this... Kunlun?"
"The dwelling place of gods?" Xu Jingzhe was full of questions, forgetting the pain of his injuries.
This was too unbelievable; even the buildings in the High Molecular Compound Zone shown on TV were not as magnificent and advanced as what he saw now.
Most importantly, Xu Jingzhe couldn't tell what materials these buildings were made of.
They didn't seem to be materials from Blue Star.
After watching for a long time, his eyes grew a bit sore, and a thought stirred in Xu Jingzhe's mind.
Something was wrong. Why were there no people in such an advanced complex of buildings?
Not a single soul!
"Ding-dong, ding-dong."
Just then, the pleasant sound of flowing water reached Xu Jingzhe's ears. He turned his head and saw a circular pool with a fountain in the middle, tens of meters away from him.
The two-meter-high fountain bloomed at the top, the liquid forming petals, gurgling as it flowed.
Actually, the fountain had been there from the start, but Xu Jingzhe hadn't noticed it.
Licking his chapped lips, his throat felt like it was on fire, and Xu Jingzhe crawled towards it. The tens of meters took him more than ten minutes.
As he crawled, some of his newly scabbed wounds reopened, and Xu Jingzhe felt as if his blood was about to run dry.
"Hey, if you don't come out and tell me a solution, then we'll both die together."
"Hey, you dog system."
"Can you say something?"
"Even if... I beg you."
"Brother..."
"My dear brother..."
Xu Jingzhe crawled to the edge of the pool, his pupils contracting. Why did this liquid look a bit familiar?
He scooped a little into his palm and sniffed it.
Damn!
Moon Soil Evolution Fluid!
A whole pool of Moon Soil Evolution Fluid!
However, its color was a bit lighter than the Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid he had brought out earlier, clearly having been diluted.
But, using diluted Moon Soil Evolution Fluid as a fountain...
Wasn't that a bit too extravagant?
It couldn't even be described as merely wealthy and powerful. If those skinny monkeys in the High Molecular Compound Zone found out, wouldn't there be a huge fight?
Blue Star would shed three layers of skin.
With a "plop!" Xu Jingzhe plunged into the pool, opening his mouth and drinking large gulps.
The Moon Soil Evolution Fluid tasted sweet, with a faint aroma of herbs and fruits, moisturizing his chapped lips and burning throat. It was like a heavenly elixir, leaving a lasting aftertaste, and a surge of vitality gradually filled his body.
He didn't stop until his stomach was distended. Xu Jingzhe then lay on his back, relieved, looking up at the sky, which was as blue as if it had just been washed.
The feeling of being alive... was truly wonderful.
Is this the sacred Kunlun Mountain?
He must have entered what they called the interior, but how did he get in? Was it the system?
Soaking in the pool, his pores opened, and he felt completely relaxed. Although he couldn't drink anymore, the fluid permeated his skin, continuously absorbing the Moon Soil Evolution Fluid.
His cracked skin was shedding, his internal organs were returning to their proper places, and his broken bones were being repaired... Behind Bruce, three taut iron chains followed.
Wang Ning, Bo Qing, and Big Beard.
Especially Wang Ning and Bo Qing, because they had taken the small blue pills, their physical potential was stimulated, and their vital essence was overdrawn prematurely, leaving them skin and bones.
Their dry, lusterless old skin clung tightly to their bones, all their organs had atrophied, their eyes were almost blind, they could no longer distinguish day from night, and their minds were somewhat abnormal.
Big Beard was captured by a squad from the Chemical Zone and given to Bruce, hoping to receive some reward.
Bruce's smile grew brighter, and then the iron weapons on the five of them suddenly went out of control. Guns misfired, daggers pierced hearts, and they died without understanding what had happened.
Cold Qing had cried all her tears dry. She didn't understand why Bruce always managed to accurately pinpoint her location.
He just followed behind her like a vengeful ghost, baring sharp fangs but never devouring her.
Women's stress resistance is inherently weaker than men's. Wang Ning and Bo Qing were tormented to the point of being neither human nor ghost, and Cold Qing came close to breaking down several times.
She could only repeatedly murmur Xu Jingzhe's name, recalling the image of him like a dragon emerging from the sea, desperately holding on until now.
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
The sound of chains rubbing against rocks echoed again. Cold Qing's body trembled. She hid in the shadows, observing, her ample chest rising and falling erratically.
This time, tears flowed from her eyes.
Only... they were tears of blood.
Flesh-colored barbs shot out from her hands. She pressed herself against a large tree, slowly climbing upwards. The higher she went, the denser the branches and leaves became, able to conceal her figure.
"Has the Sacred Mountain... not arrived yet?" she silently prayed.
She had only ever heard of the Sacred Mountain but had never seen it.
She also knew it was in the north, but which north?
Could it be... that they were already north of the Sacred Mountain, so... the Sacred Mountain was to her south?
Pressed against the tree, her breathing was reduced to a minimum, like a piece of deadwood, blending into the surrounding environment.
Meanwhile, Little Loli had lost her way.
She couldn't distinguish directions. The Pollution Zone had many mountains, trees, and abandoned buildings.
Walking through the deep mountains and old forests, avoiding enemy pursuit, she had no idea where she was going.
She hid in a mud pit, covered entirely by the silt, with only one nostril exposed for breathing.
Little Loli was filled with immense grief, her hopes resting entirely on Xu Jingzhe.
But, Little Old Six was clearly a good-for-nothing!
"Little Old Six, will you truly, just like Big Brother dreamed, step on colorful auspicious clouds, clad in battle armor, and slaughter those who bullied us, leaving no one standing?"
Rustling footsteps passed by the edge of the mud pit. This was already the fifth wave.
Little Loli held her breath, her heart trembling.
One of the people turned back, scrutinizing the mud pit for a long time before rejoining the main group ahead.
Now, the area they had entered was considered the central part of the Pollution Zone, where Contaminants frequently appeared, making everyone extremely cautious.
If they traveled thousands of miles and still couldn't find anyone, they would have to turn back.
The rewards were good, but one needed to be alive to claim them.
The bodies of Contaminants had undergone secondary mutation and would not have their minds interfered with by the various radioactive substances in the Pollution Zone.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, as long as they were not provoked, they were unwilling to bother with mere insects.
