I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 1050 - 1149: Full Obstacle Communication Throughout

Chapter 1050: Chapter 1149: Full Obstacle Communication Throughout

At this moment, no one in the entire meeting room dared to breathe.

Brave!

You two are really so brave!

Mainlanders, are they all this impressive?

A minute ago, they were being criticized by the person in charge from the Imperial Capital, who emphasized that they must not kill the precious experimental subjects.

The next second, another person in charge from the mainland grilled a skewer of octopus balls and asked if others wanted to eat!

The Director smiled, took the octopus balls, ate a couple of bites, and nodded, saying in awkward Mandarin, "So delicious, it would be perfect with a little less spice."

Jing Shu smiled slightly, finding this Director quite interesting.

"You! How dare you kill the octopus and grill it to eat! You! I’m going to report you!" Huang Xiaoxiao was trembling with anger.

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.

In my opinion, a citizen’s life is above everything.

However, it seems we two cannot work together. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

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."

Huang Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, "I’ll call and report you right now, just wait."

She started making the call on the spot.

Jing Shu shrugged.

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?

"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."

Meaning, people come, do the work, but all for nothing: no overtime pay, no commendations, and they must bear the blame.

Huang Xiaoxiao had a big plan.

She came to atone for her crimes in the first place.

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."

"Alright!" Huang Xiaoxiao was full of confidence because she was a Special Ability User.

Just after they made their bet, cries of alarm rang out from outside.

"Oh no, oh no, someone outside is being sucked by an octopus!"

"A large octopus appeared from nowhere and trapped Uncle Liu!"

Huang Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up, and she immediately dashed out.

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.

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.

Ordinary octopuses naturally eat whatever they come across.

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.

That’s why there’s large-scale human attacks.

The octopuses evolved considerably in just one day, learning how to avoid human attacks and causing hesitation in others around them.

Some octopuses even extend their whole body into human mouths and stomachs—untouchable by firearms that way.

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.

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."

Others rushed to support Uncle Liu and comfort him.

Some came to thank Huang Xiaoxiao too.

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.

Jing Shu noticed a hideous scar on Huang Xiaoxiao’s hand, as if something had been implanted.

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?"

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."

"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.

Huang Xiaoxiao left with her team.

Jing Shu and Su Malie stayed in the office hall, drinking coffee and eating octopus balls.

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.

After Huang Xiaoxiao left, the temperature in the meeting room eased considerably.

Jing Shu and the Director communicated through obstacles.

The main focus being, "I’ll say what I want, you ask what you want."

"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?"

Jing Shu nodded, "She’s a Power User, I’m just a little ordinary person."

"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?"
