60: The Siren Clan!
Li Qing was visibly excited.
It seemed as if the gloom brought by the rain had been swept away, and he continued;
"Its flesh and blood can be used to make enhancement potions, and I've already developed another model."
"Compared to the first initial model, the new model might not have strong enhancement energy, but it's simple to manufacture."
"Then there's its blood. I've extracted a special component from it that can counteract the effects of the strange illness brought by the rain."
"In other words, it's the cure for the rain-induced strange illness!"
"If, if we have a large number of Fish Demon corpses, then this rain won't just be a disaster, but capital for us to accumulate resources."
Li Qing said a lot in one breath.
This was also the reason for his excitement!
At the same time, deep in his heart, he trembled—how well all of this fit his initial theory of fate.
When there are two protagonists between heaven and earth, there must inevitably be a reason for their mutual generation and restraint!
Fish Demons are a huge threat, but also a huge Opportunity!
Ye Su took a deep breath;
"Director Li, let's do business, although my words might sound harsh."
Li Qing was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Ye Su meant;
"Ye Su, what do you mean..."
"Purchase a large number of Fish Demon corpses nationwide, and we'll turn them into potions to sell."
"When we develop the new model enhancement potion in the Late Stage, we'll sell the formula for this model."
"I don't know what the higher-ups of Great Xia think, but I need more resources, all kinds of resources!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qing.
Remained silent for a moment before finally nodding.
He had originally wanted to persuade Ye Su to publicly share the formula for making enhancement potions using Fish Demons.
But upon second thought, this wasn't appropriate.
After all, nationwide, there are many Research Institutes. If we sell the formula, the research capabilities of other Research Institutes would greatly diminish.
What will we do in the Late Stage when every Suzhou and Hangzhou becomes an isolated island?
We must uphold righteousness, but reasonable competition also needs to exist.
Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime!
Between personal interests and group interests, balance is needed.
Clearly, Ye Su was trying to balance these things.
"I understand what you mean. I'll handle these matters from now on."
Having basically understood Ye Su's thoughts, Li Qing took on this task himself.
After all, there are many interpersonal intricacies involved, which Ye Su might struggle to manage for now.
"Good, then I'll leave it to you."
"Now, focus on producing the cure and enhancement potions. We need people who can move."
Ye Su said.
"Understood!"
Li Qing nodded.
---The morning light did not Breakthrough the gray clouds.
But bad news still spread across the globe.
After several hours of chaos, Great Xia gradually calmed down and began searching for ways to Breakthrough the situation.
At this time.
The Suhang Research Institute claimed to have developed a cure and could supply enhancement potions.
This was like timely rain.
Every Suzhou and Hangzhou contacted Suhang and learned that Fish Demon corpses were needed.
Many Research Institutes didn't originally know what Fish Demons were.
But soon, they found out.
9:00 AM!
In cities nationwide, wherever there were water systems, they were attacked by Fish Demons.
Casualties began to appear.
At this time, Professionals began to demonstrate their capabilities.
Almost all Professionals reached the front lines to fight the Fish Demons.
3:00 PM.
The first batch of Fish Demon corpses was airlifted to Suhang.
The production line behind the Suhang Research Institute began rumbling, producing large quantities of the cure and enhancement potions.
The cure.
Could liberate ordinary people from the rain's invasion.
Thus, the labor force began to be liberated, and the paralyzed Suhang gradually recovered.
And the recovered Suhang intensified the production of the cure and enhancement potions.
And radiated them outward.
2:00 AM the next day.
The situation seemed to be going very well.
Every Suzhou and Hangzhou gradually returned to normal.
However...
The real bad news arrived.
Coastal cities were attacked by Sea Demons!
The aquatic creature population matured rapidly. The Fish Demons in water systems couldn't become a significant threat.
The truly terrifying threat came from the ocean.
Sea Demons!
In a short time, they became the most terrifying disaster!
Afterward, nationwide reinforcements arrived.
The military intervened, deploying large-scale firepower directly.
Forming an iron wall along the coastline to resist the Sea Demon attacks.
The first contact was a major battle.
In just 20 hours.
The world turned upside down.
Coastal cities were almost lost.
It wasn't that modern firepower wasn't strong, but the coastline was too long.
What followed was a prolonged war of attrition.
---The third day after the rain arrived.
Ye Su looked at the battle report in silence.
Sea Demons had become a tribe.
The Fish Demon scale wasn't large, so they naturally merged into the Sea Demon group.
What was even more terrifying was that after initially attacking human cities in a disorderly manner, the Sea Demons completely retreated today.
This was very unreasonable.
It violated animal nature.
Unless.
A king capable of commanding the Sea Demons had already emerged within the Sea Demon group!
This was even more frightening.
If Sea Demons could be commanded, it meant this population not only had consciousness but also the beginnings of civilization.
Due to the vastness of the ocean.
Humans had no means to kill the king among the Sea Demons.
"Three days, just three days, and a new race has appeared in this world!" Li Qing looked at the battle report, his hands trembling slightly.
This mutation was too intense.
It was as if millions, tens of millions of years of evolution had been brutally compressed into a few days.
"This is just the beginning."
Ye Su said;
"By the way, what about our naval forces? Those warships---"
"They are currently returning to port quickly." Li Qing said;
"Soon, we'll have to withdraw from the ocean Domain."
"All maritime trade routes have been prohibited, and the ocean is gradually becoming a forbidden zone."
After the primitive forests on land became forbidden zones, the ocean would also become one.
"Call Black Tiger. I need to go to the Lake."
Ye Su finally said.
This was the trend, an unchangeable trend.
The ocean occupied too large an area on Blue Star.
Who would dare say they could clear the ocean creatures?
Nonsense!
Moreover, in the current global situation, only Great Xia was faring slightly better; other countries were practically experiencing the apocalypse.
Countries like Sakura and Stick.
Under the Sea Demon attacks, they were barely clinging to life.
If not for the smart people in their countries who developed the cure, they might have disappeared from Blue Star in this wave.
At this moment, they were experiencing a battle for national destiny.
If the Sea Demons launched a few more attacks, tsk tsk---"Are you going to the Lake for something? With the rain continuously falling, the eight-hundred-li Lake is no joke." Li Qing said.
The higher-ups had no solution; places that couldn't be resolved were directly turned into forbidden zones.
Now, the Lake area had almost become a forbidden zone too.
"I have matters to attend to. Don't ask. Have the Su Hang Grand Camp prepare a plane for me."
Ye Su said, then called Mo Xiaoyu.
Rain-Summoning Divine Envoy?
During the Rain Water solar term, she should have a great Opportunity.
So, don't let her stay at home; have her go out for a walk.
[Regarding the letter's setting, Chapter 1 made it very clear: I! We! In the previous timeline, it wasn't just Ye Su writing letters. When the Rain Water solar term storyline concludes, the storylines will become very clear.]
