Chapter 2032

~7 min read 1,396 words

Seeing the mission information, Su Xiao knew things were troublesome. Just as he had guessed, the mission was indeed the World Core.

However, the core of this world was somewhat special; it was contaminated by a certain superhuman plant. But one thing was certain: there must be a mark of Apocalypse Paradise on the World Core.

Apocalypse Paradise hadn't stripped the World Core from the superhuman plant Dibam; it was highly likely that Dibam and the World Core had already combined, or formed a symbiotic relationship, and couldn't be easily stripped.

Reincarnation Paradise's mission also proved this point: find the contaminated World Core, not obtain it. The goal was simple: to change the mark on it.

To find the contaminated World Core, one must first figure out the location of the main body of Dibam. That plant had likely already approached the nature of the World Core and couldn't be detected or sensed.

But it wasn't entirely impossible. The Dibam seedling had a connection to the main body. Burning the seedling and using its ashes could lead to the main body.

As for where the seedling was, that was the difficult part. Due to its undetectable nature, Reincarnation Paradise only gave general intelligence: inside a certain shelter.

Heaven knows how many shelters there were. Fortunately, the mission penalty wasn't forced execution.

Searching shelter by shelter was clearly unrealistic. Although Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was very good at searching, one month was far from enough time to search every shelter.

Fortunately, Su Xiao had another method: let those shelters come to him.

His thoughts stopped here. Su Xiao leaned on the sofa for a nap. What he needed to do next was to mass-produce a super-simplified version of the Stigma Potion.

Stigma Potion was a low-tier potion. Su Xiao didn't need its permanent buff effect, so he stopped the process after completing one-third of it.

The main problem for the "hunters" was energy eroding their internal organs. A Stigma Potion prepared to one-third could solve this.

Preparing an Activity-Force Potion to one-fifth had a similar effect, but the cost of Activity-Force was high, the materials were not easy to find, and it was cumbersome to prepare.

During the wait, Iron-Armored Bear Naga left first, while Broken Tooth waited the whole time. As for whether he could get the treatment medicine, that depended on his choice afterward.

After about three hours, Yahada's people sent the equipment and materials. Six of the materials couldn't be used, and it took nearly ten more hours of searching to collect all the materials.

Su Xiao stood before a one-meter-high metal tank. The water inside was churning. He "casually" grabbed a few handfuls of materials and tossed them directly in, tapping his fingertips on the wall of the metal tank, and a surge of mana permeated the boiling water.

After waiting for a few minutes, Su Xiao tossed a few more types of materials inside. After repeating this process several times, he pressed the air pressure button next to him, and the flames extinguished.

"This, this is it?"

Broken Tooth was stunned. In his mind, a potion to treat Blood Burning should be something very high-end.

In reality, for Su Xiao, preparing this kind of potion was very simple, like a scholar doing elementary school math problems. He didn't need to prepare them bottle by bottle, but tank by tank.

What Su Xiao wanted to do next was to make the treatment medicine in Shelter No. 9 exceed the required amount—that is, after curing all the hunters, there would still be a surplus.

Ask yourself, if Yahada had this kind of treatment medicine, what would he do? Store it? Maybe, provided he wasn't greedy.

Even if Yahada wasn't greedy, Su Xiao had a way to spread the news that Shelter No. 9 had medicine to treat Blood Burning, which would drive many people crazy.

In just half an hour, eight large tanks of treatment medicine were placed in the room. Broken Tooth was completely stunned.

"How much of this medicine does each person need to drink?"

Broken Tooth asked with a dazed expression.

"Less than 50 grams per person."

"50 grams, 50..."

Broken Tooth glanced at his severed arm, raised his hand to slap himself, and then sat on the ground laughing wildly.

With the current amount of treatment medicine, let alone his brother, even some of the unpopular hunters could get a share.

"Recklessness always comes with a price. Don't you agree, Broken Tooth?"

Su Xiao watched Broken Tooth with a smile. At this moment, Broken Tooth suddenly felt fear—fear from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes, yes, I agree."

Broken Tooth only wanted to do one thing now: escape this room.

"Do you want your brother to live?"

"Yes!"

This time, Broken Tooth's answer was very crisp.

"Is that so? Take this, then take your brother, escape to a nearby shelter, and tell them..."

Su Xiao's voice grew lower and lower. Broken Tooth's eyes gradually widened, his scalp felt as if it were about to explode, and his only remaining arm trembled uncontrollably.

"You, are you a devil?"

Broken Tooth swallowed his saliva. He remembered the scene that had happened in his own home earlier, which made him suddenly want to laugh, because at that time, they were playing mind games with a terrifying guy.

Broken Tooth vaguely remembered the other party's expression at that time—always watching from the sidelines, as if appreciating something novel enough but not worth caring about.

"A devil? Of course not, that's an ally. How you choose to act is up to you."

Su Xiao filled a test tube with treatment medicine and tossed it to Broken Tooth.

"Broken Tooth, you probably don't want... me to kill everyone here, right? Just like I said before, I am not a devil."

If the female devil Lilim heard Su Xiao's words, she would definitely refute them, because even among the devil race, there wouldn't be such bloodthirst as Su Xiao's.

The reason Su Xiao chose Broken Tooth was simple: Broken Tooth didn't immediately notify the leader of Shelter No. 9 after learning of the existence of the treatment medicine. Secondly, this guy had just lost an arm.

"I... understand."

Broken Tooth walked quickly out of the two-story small building, leaving after being searched by several hunters.

Ten-plus minutes later, in front of Broken Tooth's home, Broken Tooth pounded on the door. After his brother opened it, the two brothers almost snorted at the same time.

"Medicine, drink it."

Broken Tooth tossed the test tube to his brother. The gloomy youth took the test tube, tore off the cap, and gulped it down.

"Wait!"

Broken Tooth raised his hand, but unfortunately, it was too late.

Gulp~

The gloomy youth drank the medicine and looked at Broken Tooth in confusion.

"What?"

"Nothing."

Broken Tooth snatched the test tube from the gloomy youth's hand and tossed it directly into the trash pile outside the door.

"Ptooey, this medicine... has a weird taste, ugh~"

"Normal, I just spat it out."

Broken Tooth patted his brother on the back. The gloomy youth began to cough dryly. After coughing up several large mouthfuls of blackened, thick phlegm, his chest became lighter, and his breathing became smooth.

"We're leaving Shelter No. 9, going to... the Fire Skull Gang!"

Broken Tooth leaped up lightly and took a metal box from the ceiling.

"Hmm."

The gloomy youth didn't ask much, because for him, it was the same everywhere. Having family was enough, whether it was in Shelter No. 19 during his childhood or Shelter No. 14 eight years ago.

Blending into the environment, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was beside the two, yawned and contacted Su Xiao through the team channel. Things were successful; it would help the Broken Tooth brothers escape.

Shelter District A, Leader Yahada's bedroom.

Yahada was still sitting on the blanket, looking at the eight large tanks of treatment medicine in front of him. The expression on his face hadn't changed for at least ten seconds. He had had people test it; the effect of this treatment medicine was stronger than imagined.

"Seal the shelter. Not even a fly is allowed to fly out."

Yahada spoke in a deep voice.

"Yes."

The servant on the side walked away quickly. Yahada, whose hands were covered in rings, touched his bald head. He felt danger.
