I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 525 - 386: Rescue Underway...

Chapter 525 -386: Rescue Underway…

It took nearly 30 days for Lu Yuan to complete the intricate Large Gear Sealing.

The “Greedy Demon God” never tires, its racial value truly far surpasses that of Human bodies.

Countless gears, constantly moving, dissipating the ceaseless Rule Energy emanated by the [Ghost], this indeed is the pinnacle of sealing that Lu Yuan can perform.

That damned [Blood Ghost] finally became docile, no matter how much it struggled, it shouldn’t be able to cause any trouble before these gears completely wear out.

And the attitude of that [Mirror Demon] is very deceitful, even considering itself an elder.

[“Tell me, what year of the Epoch is it outside now? To what extent have you developed?”]

...

Lu Yuan casually fibbed, “Just a hundred or two hundred years, it’s the Mid-Era now. Only a Second-level Civilization, it’s tough.”

The [Mirror Demon] kept sneering coldly, one could tell without thinking that this fellow was lying.

“Believe it or not, that’s up to you.”

In the end, Lu Yuan could only roll his eyes and leave the place.

…

Once again seeing the blue sky and white clouds, the 30 days in the Sky Pit turned out to be ten years outside…

In the Supernatural era, ten years truly is but a blink of an eye.

Fortunately, Old Cat instantly teleported out on the first day, so Green City wasn’t left unmanaged.

As for the Conch Girl… she’s now so obsessed with sealing the [Deformed Ghost] that she’s unaware of the passage of time.

Ten years have passed, the floating population of Sky City has increased to 8,000 people, various new clothing and food reserves have been prepared, even Extraordinary Creatures have begun to reproduce again, the concentration of Ghost Mist has once again been diluted to the extent that even bacteria and viruses are no longer affected by it.

Under such circumstances, the grand awakening of the troops naturally came on the agenda.

Lu Yuan first visited the Conch Girl and complained that she “hasn’t missed me even a bit in ten years.”

“Ah? Has it been ten years?” Conch Girl belatedly realized, “I completely didn’t feel the passage of time.”

“Hmm… But the management system of Green Grass Paradise has been built. I’m currently guiding Humans on how to seal this [Deformed Ghost].”

He then inspected the national treasuries, which were full of consumables.

Clothing, food, and so on, all were well-prepared.

He also found a construction crew and asked around.

The original team leader, Guo Weiqiang, had gone into hibernation.

The current person in charge, a comrade named Li Dazhu, averages one year of work for every nine years of hibernation, also not feeling much of the passage of time.

Everything was ready, only lacking a favorable wind!

But the problem is, those 180,000 Mutated People still have not been saved…

“Damn, it’s been so long, I thought there would be some good news… Didn’t you already acquire the knowledge provided by the [Mirror Demon]? Can’t you handle it?”

Lu Yuan was utterly dumbfounded, puzzled.

This matter is truly vital, as Humans have already stayed in this sea region for 49 years…

Even though in this era, time isn’t that pressing. Maybe taking a bit more journey, gathering more resources, gaining more opportunities.

Lu Yuan now is truly destitute, wishing he could find a large mine to dig more ore!

But those 180,000 Mutated Humans really can’t be abandoned… They are relatives, friends, for the healthy Hibernators, they are a living presence, as if they had just met yesterday…

Once abandoned, the entire society would immediately collapse!

Psychologically, Lu Yuan really can’t bear to… even though he has made 49 years of psychological preparation.

Thus, Lu Yuan, filled with thoughts, came to the “High-risk Laboratory” on the coral island.

Here, there is a large intercontinental missile launch well, and the lab is located in one of the large missiles.

12 professors have been striving here for 49 years, the subtly infiltrative power of [Deformed Ghost] and [Blood Ghost] has damaged their bodies, making them look like old men and women with white hair, chicken skin and age spots on their skin surfaces, and slightly hunched figures.

Every time Lu Yuan saw them, he also felt heartache… and couldn’t possibly blame them.

He also thought about infusing them with Life Essence and the like.

But the subtly infiltrative damage from [Blood Ghost] and [Deformed Ghost] is hard to reverse.

The only thing that could reverse it was the Life Fruit, to live a life anew.

Under good management, the damage to the soul was relatively less, and living anew could still save them.

But this opportunity was difficult to seize… after all, who doesn’t want to live forever? Once the news of the Life Fruit spread, it would cause a lot of trouble. It’s not scarcity but inequality that is the concern!

“Lu Tiantian, are you there?” Lu Yuan passed through several security checks and knocked on the door.

He found the door was not closed, knocking it open directly.

As he entered the laboratory, he was shocked with a start.

He saw Professor Lu Tiantian with his eyes closed, collapsed on the ground, with a heap of test tubes on the table, containing squirming red, purple, and blue liquids.

On the experiment table, there was also a mutated Insect Soldier, its whole skin dyed red.

Seeing this scene, not only Lu Yuan, but also the group of soldiers behind him were greatly shocked! If that drop of blood from the [Blood Ghost] escaped, who knows if another Ghost Mist Disaster might occur! Having already endured nearly fifty years of disaster, who could bear another fifty?

They couldn’t help but tense up all their muscles.

However, Lu Yuan did not sense any danger, he only slightly furrowed his brow.

He was quite familiar with the power of [Blood Ghost], and it was clear that no power leaked here.

“Professor Lu Tiantian has been overworking himself. Don’t disturb him – let him have a good sleep.”

He then turned to look at the mutated insect, whose eyeball area was protruding and had grown numerous grape-like flesh balls, similar to cancer development.

However, insects have much stronger life force than humans, enduring such severe mutations and still holding strong until now.

When that Insect Soldier saw Lu Yuan, it lowly chirped “Zhi Ga”, which counted as a greeting.

“Sigh, really has been tough… If truly unsolvable, I will let you enter hibernation chamber to hibernate.”

“By hibernating, at least you won’t suffer this pain…”

“Zhi Ga!” the insect chirped once again.

Seeing Lu Tiantian sleeping, Lu Yuan headed to other offices, asked other professors, and directly said, “Comrades, after so many years… if it’s possible, it’s possible; if not, it’s not. You need to give an answer.”

These scholars also seemed contemplative, with worried frowns, unable to speak.

Lu Yuan sighed and said, “Professors, you’ve already given so much, no need to take on all the responsibility.”

“In the future, we still have opportunities… Our civilization can still continue developing, let them hibernate in the Sky Pit, there will always be a day for rescue.”

“Now, I need an answer; we cannot keep dragging this out. I will take all the responsibility.”

Lu Yuan’s words were in fact a psychological consolation.

The combination of Sky Pit and hibernation indeed delays for a long time.

But it must be known, even humans in hibernation slowly experience metabolism.

The longer it drags on, the harder it becomes to rescue.

“It’s like this… Great Commander, we’ve attempted numerous experiments and trials, invented a lot of medications. It can be said that we’ve nearly fully grasped the biotechnology left by South Island Civilization.”

“Especially the materials Mr. Cat brought back ten years ago, which made us see hope for a moment… at least many high-risk experiments could be executed.”

This presbyopic professor showed a reminiscent expression.

“But through long-term experiments, we found that ordinary organisms simply can’t bear the various experimental plans… like finding a needle in a haystack, extremely difficult.”

“This is our experiment data…”

The current approach remains to use the power of [Blood Ghost] to drive away [Deformed Ghosts].

But this path is not smooth.

More than thirty percent of the lab mice, after being subjected to extremely minute quantities of [Blood Ghost] power, directly died with blood streaming from their orifices!

Another fifty percent suffered severe and malignant mutations. Originally, the power of [Deformed Ghost] was quite concentrated, but upon stimulation by [Blood Ghost], it instead dispersed, turned into a meatball, causing whole-body organ failure, self-mutilation and madness, among others.

The remaining twenty percent showed slow mutations, mostly developing in negative directions, like immune system collapses, widespread cancer appearances…

These data are indeed alarming; Lu Yuan was astonished and couldn’t help but admire their determination to persist with these disgusting biological experiments.

Overall, the experts were not optimistic about the matter.

“The cure for Mutated People is a current insurmountable technical difficulty. It might need a few hundred more years to be resolved.”

This was an unavoidable situation; [Ghost]’s power was like a black box, truly unsolvable.

As for Lu Yuan’s [Steel] ability…

While [Steel] can render idealistic abilities ineffective, it only targets oneself – making oneself harder, without the ability to be projected externally, hence it’s also incapable of being used for rescue. (Just like the Huge Power ability, which can only make oneself possess huge power, unable to be projected externally.)

Hearing this, not only Lu Yuan, but also the soldiers behind him had ashen faces and were in low spirits.

Had they waited more than forty years for only a mirage?

Lu Yuan didn’t blame anyone, and gathered his emotions to comfort, “Sigh, everyone has tried their best, and that’s good enough. This set of data, for future development…”

Before finishing his sentence, Lu Tiantian, who had been resting in the room all along, suddenly struggled to sit up and shouted with red eyes, “No, there is hope!”

“Listen to me, although most of the lab mice were failures, there are still three that succeeded. They successfully returned to normal from their mutated state.”

“It’s just because they lacked life force and degraded early – I saw this with my own eyes.”

“As long as we figure out the reason, it must… definitely be possible.”

“We need more resources, more Life Essence, and more investment!”
