Super Gene Hunting Ground

Yang Xiao and Du Tianxing discussed and decided to convene a City Alliance meeting to inform everyone about the warming climate on Earth. Then, they would remind everyone to watch out for problems such as floods after the snowmelt, food safety, and prevention against Mutated Creatures.

Now that it is the City Alliance, everyone should help each other, care for each other, share information, and overcome difficulties together.

Du Tianxing also agreed and immediately went with Yang Xiao to Wentian City, found Gu Beifeng, and roughly told him about the warming climate. It so happened that Gu Beifeng and his people had also noticed this sign.

”It’s great that Earth is finally warming up. Brother Yang is right; we do need to be careful to deal with the disasters of post-snowmelt floods, rotting food, and the reactivation of Mutated Creatures. Du and I will notify everyone right away to meet in Wentian City in three days.”

Three days later, a City Alliance meeting was held in Wentian City. According to the information brought back by the City Kings from different cities, everyone confirmed the fact that Earth was warming up. They also took very seriously the potential problems of floods, food rot, and the reactivation of Mutated Creatures that Yang Xiao had raised.

This meeting gave the City Alliance of Xuanming District its first practical significance, and everyone began to see the benefits of the Alliance.

Yang Xiao returned to Nanmu City and continued to lead everyone in practicing Genetic Transformation Technique.

...

On the 88th floor of the Financial Building in Magic City, a meeting was being convened.

There were over a dozen people in black clothes, including Master Long, with the Fourth Prince presiding over the meeting.

”Last month, I went to Tianzhou and discussed with the Eldest Prince, who decided to remove the fog that shrouded the Earth’s atmosphere. The fog has now been gone for nearly a month, and the entire Earth’s temperature has been gradually rising. What’s the situation in Xuanming District?”

”Reporting to the Fourth Prince, the temperature in Xuanming District is also warming. It seems that people everywhere have noticed this phenomenon. A few days ago, a City Alliance meeting was held in Wentian City to discuss Earth’s warming climate, chaired by Wentian City’s Gu Beifeng and Magic City’s Du Tianxing.”

The middle-aged man who spoke was named Long Wei, stationed at the Wentian City International Hotel and a capable assistant to the Fourth Prince, as well as the head of their branch in Wentian City.

The Fourth Prince glanced at Long Wei and asked,

”Long Wei, what do you think of this City Alliance they’ve established?”

Long Wei replied,

”Xuanming District was originally a super Imperial before the apocalypse, so it’s normal for them to have the idea of being united and unified.”

”Normal? If they’re normal, that means we’re not.”

The Fourth Young Master said coldly.

”Fourth Prince, what do you mean?”

”Have you forgotten why we came to Earth? Right now, their power is weak and doesn’t pose a threat to us. However, if one day they grow strong and unite, it will definitely threaten us. Therefore, I do not want to see them united and unified.

Moreover, if they are internally unified, their internal struggles will naturally lessen, and they will lose their combative wildness. What we need is a humanity that grows stronger in a survival-of-the-fittest environment and constant killing—only then can they adapt to our needs.

Additionally, even more importantly, we must prevent any signs of their opposition to us. We absolutely cannot let them have the idea of uniting against us.”

”But, Fourth Prince, with thousands of years of history in the Xuanming Country, unity has always been mainstream in their thought. Now that they have formed a City Alliance and are helping each other, how can we break it?”

”Does the Fourth Prince have any clever plans?”

”Hehe, that’s simple. Once the ice and snow melt and release a large number of Mutated Creatures, human cities are now isolated. It’s very difficult for the entire Xuanming District to unite. When they face the attacks of Mutated Creatures, they will be too busy to defend themselves, let alone think about any alliance or how to deal with us.”

Master Long interjected,

”Fourth Prince, why not just send people like Gu Beifeng and Du Tianxing to our planet? Without their strong leaders, they will naturally be in disarray and won’t be able to discuss any alliance or oppose us.”

The Fourth Prince nodded and said,

”Long Yu, I have considered your idea. However, people like Gu Beifeng are still too weak now. I want to wait for them to grow a bit more, to become stronger before sending them to our planet. Sending them now is nearly no different from sending them to their deaths. In any case, you all must collaborate with the Genetic Stores everywhere and closely monitor human activities, especially this City Alliance.”

”Yes, Fourth Prince!”

...

Nowadays, Ice Fish are hung out to dry everywhere in Nanmu City and Shanyun City, drying out in the cold air within a few days.

There are three Genetic Store strongholds in Nanmu City District, with a ten-story building under the protective orange glow of the Genetic Store. Before the apocalypse, these were all commercial buildings.

Xiao Zhe cleared out these buildings, preparing some floors for storing food and Ice Fish and some units for living quarters.

The grains previously stored in the underground subway tunnels were almost eaten, except for some rice, which Xiao Zhe arranged to be transferred to the building.

Xia Luo also carried out the same preparations in Shanyun City.

As time passed, the snow on the ground began to loosen.

Yang Xiao’s Body Refinement progress was not bad; his skin gradually turned from the original yellow to white, becoming smoother. This change was first found by Qin Yu, who once joked,

”Boss, what kind of skincare have you been using recently? Your skin is getting whiter and smoother.”

”Nonsense! Where would I get skincare products? Besides, I don’t like using those things. When I was high school, I only used something like Dabao in winter.”

However, Huang Wen, Deng Xiao, Xia Luo, and Gong Yu all said Yang Xiao’s skin had indeed become smooth and fair, prompting Yang Xiao to take a look in the mirror.

”Eh, damn, it really is like that. What’s going on?”

In the end, he could only attribute it to practicing Genetic Transformation Technique and specifically went to the Genetic Store to ask Gu Bo about it.

Gu Bo, hearing this, laughed and said,

”Hehe, it is indeed the effect of practicing Genetic Transformation Technique—Body Refinement, Bone Forging, Yijin, and Marrow Cleansing; every stage will create changes in your bodily functions. If you can complete Marrow Cleansing, that would be even more incredible.”

”Marrow Cleansing? About how many years would that take to complete?”
