How dare you kill the octopus and grill it to eat! You! I’m going to report you!\" Huang Xiaoxiao was trembling with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Shu said, \"Alright, Miss Huang Xiaoxiao, if you have any objections, feel free to report them, but for now, the higher-ups have given me ownership, so follow my lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In my opinion, a citizen’s life is above everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it seems we two cannot work together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I will use my method to capture the octopus, and you use your method to capture it. In the end, we’ll see who captures more and who captures less.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, \"I’ll call and report you right now, just wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She started making the call on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Shu shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Xiaoxiao made her call, spoke for a full three minutes, and finally hung up in frustration, glaring at Jing Shu. She couldn’t understand why the higher-ups trusted her so much and said if she disagreed, she should go back and let this ordinary person handle everything?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, you want a bet, right? Then let’s make it a big one: the losing side kneels to apologize, completely withdraws from this appointment and responsibility, and takes on full accountability for this event.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning, people come, do the work, but all for nothing: no overtime pay, no commendations, and they must bear the blame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Xiaoxiao had a big plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She came to atone for her crimes in the first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Shu chuckled, nodded, \"Alright then, since you said so, let’s add another condition: being sucked by an octopus for three minutes. Let the loser experience how painful suffocation can be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright!\" Huang Xiaoxiao was full of confidence because she was a Special Ability User.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just after they made their bet, cries of alarm rang out from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh no, oh no, someone outside is being sucked by an octopus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A large octopus appeared from nowhere and trapped Uncle Liu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up, and she immediately dashed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was in a workspace shared by hundreds, dimly lit around, when a giant octopus appeared. Uncle Liu was muzzled, gasping for air, bumping into this and that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire body and tentacles of the large octopus tightly entwined the man, even pushing several large appendages into his mouth to extract food from the stomach tube.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary octopuses naturally eat whatever they come across.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, these laboratory-bred octopuses have become picky, or perhaps they were injected with gene NDA and preferred food already eaten by humans, especially enjoying directly digesting human-digested food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why there’s large-scale human attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The octopuses evolved considerably in just one day, learning how to avoid human attacks and causing hesitation in others around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some octopuses even extend their whole body into human mouths and stomachs—untouchable by firearms that way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this critical moment, Huang Xiaoxiao’s hands shot out a liquid onto the octopus, causing it to shrivel instantly, writhing a bit before stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Xiaoxiao proudly glanced at Jing Shu, \"My ability is a perfect counter to these octopuses, a natural anesthetic. It takes just an instant to catch them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others rushed to support Uncle Liu and comfort him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some came to thank Huang Xiaoxiao too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be said, Huang Xiaoxiao’s ability is indeed very powerful, and as a professor-level figure with an anesthetic ability, she is very impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Shu noticed a hideous scar on Huang Xiaoxiao’s hand, as if something had been implanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Xiaoxiao had the octopus placed into a sealed box before asking, \"Aren’t you gonna hurry up and catch the octopus? What are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Shu shrugged, \"I’m just an ordinary person, what can I do? I can’t help even if I go. I’ve already called for help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unless you’d rather admit defeat early.\" Huang Xiaoxiao shook her head, directly asking where else there were large octopuses, then quickly set off for the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Xiaoxiao left with her team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Shu and Su Malie stayed in the office hall, drinking coffee and eating octopus balls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Shu even sent Hulk for a run, bringing back equipment for making octopus balls, along with cabbage and egg mix, setting up to make octopus dumplings on-site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Huang Xiaoxiao left, the temperature in the meeting room eased considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Shu and the Director communicated through obstacles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main focus being, \"I’ll say what I want, you ask what you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Jing Shu, I heard that factions are also in serious conflict on the mainland. You and Miss Huang aren’t from the same faction, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Shu nodded, \"She’s a Power User, I’m just a little ordinary person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Jing Shu, Miss Huang spoke of live octopus, and you made the octopus into dumplings, what will you do if she complains about you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",914,"2026-06-10T07:03:21.947Z",1,"novelbin.me","e2fbe08f80dc167862198cee498d205615989cc0e35a48f046a479cc44bd0694","i-am-cultivating-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-1051","i-am-cultivating-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-1049",1110,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-cultivating-in-the-apocalypse-cover.jpg"]
