Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 98 Endless Energy (4000 words)
Not long after the black fog aggregate appeared, fear gradually spread throughout the City of Hope.

Same with the space station.

Residents living in Hope City also need to consume a large number of points to be resurrected after death.

So people often can afford to live but cannot afford to die.

So in order to save their lives, some people began to find ways to escape to the Tiangong Space Station for refuge.

But the problem is
After all, the habitable area of ​​the space station is limited, so the only people who can actually leave are a small number of people with status and background.

Most people can only stay in Hope City.

All they could do was pray.

In order to resolve the current crisis, Li Xiu and the management of Hope City took targeted measures in two aspects.

First, the offensive aspect:
Li Xiu mobilized almost all resources and manpower to study the black fog aggregate, just to find its weakness.

Then there is the defensive aspect:
Li Xiu ordered people to further expand the output of white mist in Hope City in order to maintain the operation of the spiritual light array.

that's it.

As people were in panic, a full half month passed in the blink of an eye.

...

City of Hope.

Inside the strange fire secret room of Qingyang Sect.

In front of Deng Bin and Quan Shan, Xie Shen activated the spiritual power in his body and slowly transferred it into a bonfire on the ground.

"Do you understand everything?"

After doing all this, he said, "If you use your spiritual energy to nourish ordinary fire every day like this, after about 3-5 years, the ordinary fire can be cultivated into strange fire, and then the 'fire spirit' will be born."

Xie Shen is very patient.

He had deliberately slowed down his pace when he was preaching.

In addition, Deng Bin and Quan Shan were both extremely talented, so they memorized the method of nurturing this strange fire after just reading it once.

In the secret room.

Xie Shen opened his mouth and was about to say something else, but he heard a series of shrill alarms sounding in Hope City.

Is something wrong?

At this moment, Xie Shen, Deng Bin and Quan Shan all looked at each other at the same time.

The three of them didn't say anything, but walked out of the strange fire chamber one after another.

But I see in the sky:

The black mist aggregate was surging and rolling continuously.

Under the gazes of countless eyes in the city, the black mist continued to disperse and re-condense, and finally formed an extremely huge black Buddha.

The black Buddha sits cross-legged in the air.

It lowered its head and looked down at the countless creatures below with cold eyes.

The moment they were stared at by the giant Buddha, Xie Shen and the others felt an indescribable sense of fear in their hearts.

“That day…” Deng Bin looked up at the sky and said in disbelief, “The fake people actually summoned a Buddha?”

“I don’t know if you feel that way.”

Quan Shan added: "After the giant Buddha appeared, I have been inexplicably frightened."

"Anyway, I'm really panicking!"

"I can't describe the panic!"

Perhaps because he was too nervous, Quanshan's breathing became a little rapid.

He looked at Xie Shen and said, "Senior, there are no gods or Buddhas in this world, right?"

Xie Shen did not give a direct answer.

He urged the spiritual power in his body, and the whole person rose from the ground. Then he looked down and said: "Don't think about these things for now, let's go to the tower to gather and see what Li Xiu and the others say!"

After saying that, Feng Xu took the lead and flew towards the central city tower.

Deng Bin and Quan Shan hurriedly followed with their swords.

At the same time.

But suddenly four missiles were fired from the land-based launch silo in Hope City.

As soon as the four missiles were launched into the air, they immediately scattered and attacked the black Buddha from different directions of east, south, west and north.

air.

Faced with the flying missile, the black Buddha did not dodge or evade, and just let the missile hit him.

'Boom'!
Accompanied by bursts of loud roars, four mushroom clouds rose from the front, back, left and right of the black Buddha.

After the smoke and dust cleared, the black Buddha remained motionless.

Obviously, the four missiles did not have any effect.

Perhaps it was this action by humans that angered the black Buddha.

Its hands, which were originally clasped together, slowly separated. Its left hand was placed on its leg as if picking a flower, while its right hand put its fingers together into a palm and slapped out fiercely.

Just one palm.

The spiritual light formation that enveloped the entire City of Hope immediately began to develop countless spider-web-like cracks.

It seems like it may break apart at any time.

Not only that.

Affected by the power of that palm, Quanshan and Deng Bin, who were flying in the air with swords, both fell off their flying swords.

Even Xie Shen, who had reached the Jindan stage, almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

The strength displayed by the Black Buddha is so strong.

The huge sense of oppression directly caused the entire Hope City to become restless.

Some people were screaming and running aimlessly in the city.

Some people hid at home and didn't go anywhere, just huddled in a corner and shivered.

All sentient beings are diverse.

Under the pressure brought by the Black Buddha, Xie Shen quickly arrived at the central city tower where Li Xiu was.

Can see:

Zhuge Fu, the man in a suit Chao Jing, Ran Zhuyu, Qian Ming, Yang Xiang and other command leaders of Hope City have all gathered here at this moment.

Seeing Xie Shen arrive, Li Xiu hurriedly asked him, "How is it? Are you sure you can handle the big Buddha?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked at Xie Shen.

Without him.

Just because Xie Shen is the combat power ceiling of the human side.

——In short, if you need help with strategy, just go to Li Xiu, and if you need help with war, just go to Xie Shen.

As long as the two of them take action, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

But this time.
On the city floor.

Xie Shen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Just judging from the power of that palm strike just now, even if I risk my life, I only have a 10% chance of winning."

"Only 10%?" Li Xiu repeated.

Xie Shen said: "One percent is still an exaggeration."

"After all, the Buddha must have more than just the Tathagata Palm."

"If it has other means, then I may not even have a 10% chance of winning."

After hearing what Xie Shen said, Li Xiu fell silent.

So long.

As if he had made a decision, Li Xiu suddenly asked Xie Shen, "What if I provide you with nearly endless white mist?"

The monk can transform the absorbed white mist into spiritual power in the body.

And there are no side effects.

So it is no exaggeration to say:
If Xie Shen could really get this bonus, let alone fighting against the Black Buddha, he would even dare to confront a Nascent Soul cultivator head-on.

But the problem is
Can Li Xiu really do what he says?
Xie Shen said to Li Xiu: "Actually, I can guess it without asking."

"The white mist that maintains the spiritual light array and the entire city's power system."

"If nothing unexpected happens, you probably produced all of them by torturing ordinary people."

"Am I right?"

"Yes." Li Xiu admitted generously: "Whether it was the Qingyang Sect base before, or the current Hope City."

"I have built many prisons underground in these two settlements." "There are many ordinary people imprisoned in those prisons."

"I torture them in various ways every day."

"Then, use the white mist produced when they are tortured to supply the operation of the entire settlement."

Really?
Xie Shen followed up, "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, so I don't have any objection to you doing these things in secret."

"Besides, I'm not qualified to have an opinion."

"I just have one question now."

Xie Shen continued: "Didn't you just say that you could provide me with nearly 'endless' white mist?"

"I think you may not have a clear understanding of Jindan stage cultivators."

Xie Shen emphasized: "If I want to provide nearly endless white mist for me to squander, it won't be enough to torture one or two hundred people."

"I estimate that you must have tortured nearly 100,000 people at the very least."

"The white mist produced by so many people being tortured together can barely meet my consumption during the battle."

"It can barely meet the standard of 'nearly endless white fog' that you mentioned."

"Only in this way can I defeat the black Buddha in the sky."

"Then the problem arises."

Xie Shen pointed out the key point and asked: "Can the underground prison you built hold and torture more than 100,000 people at the same time?"

"That's unlikely, isn't it?"

Li Xiu lowered his head.

He pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said calmly, "I really don't have more than 100,000 people."

"Besides, I don't dare to risk the world's condemnation by torturing more than 100,000 people in prison at once."

“So I found an alternative.”

"Hmm?" Xie Shen asked curiously, "What can I use as a replacement?"

Li Xiu said: "Remember the undead we found in the flesh and blood world before?"

On the city floor.

Li Xiu said as he walked down the stairs.

When Xie Shen and others saw this, they all followed him.

But he heard Li Xiu continue: "Those immortals all have cancer. They are tortured by illness almost all the time."

"Then, the curse of flesh and blood made them immortal."

"These people are simply perfect producers of 'white mist'."

During the conversation, Li Xiu had led everyone present to the bottom floor of the city wall.

In front of everyone, he pressed a hidden switch on the wall.

next second.

Accompanied by a series of loud rumbling noises, a secret passage on the ground was slowly opened.

But in the secret passage, there was a long and narrow staircase sloping downward leading to the underground.

Li Xiu led the large group along the narrow staircase and soon arrived at a secret laboratory built underground.

There is a huge glass cube built in each of the four corners of the laboratory.

There are four seats in total.

Inside four glass cubes, there are four humans with extremely large tumors.

——These four people are the four undead who were found in the underground laboratory of the flesh and blood world.

In the laboratory.

Li Xiu turned around and glanced at the people behind him.

He said: "Because of the pain and torture they have endured over the years, these four people have already lost their self-awareness."

“It’s a self-protection mechanism for humans.”

"After all, people who have lost consciousness cannot feel pain."

"But now, I need them to feel the pain, I need them to suffer."

"So the first thing I have to do is to restore their consciousness."

As Li Xiu spoke, he slowly approached the public terminal of the laboratory.

After passing the double verification of the password and the fingerprint recognition system, Li Xiu turned on the power system of the entire laboratory.

Under the light, Xie Shen and others could see:

Inside those huge glass cubes, four robotic arms protruded from the ceiling.

Each of these robotic arms holds a syringe filled with an unknown yellow-brown liquid.

"See those needles?"

Li Xiu explained from the side: "It contains a mixture of levodopa and benserazide."

"This mixture is also called 'dopasil hydrazide reagent'."

"In order to restore consciousness to these four undead, I have tried many, many kinds of drugs."

"Finally I found out"

Li Xiu concluded: "The dopaminergic reagent used in the past to treat Parkinson's disease is the most effective in restoring the consciousness of the undead."

"As long as we continue to inject this drug into the undead, they will be able to stay awake forever."

"Tormented forever."

"Then there will be a constant flow of white mist forever."

Li Xiu continued, "Compared to ordinary people, the undead are as big as a mountain of flesh, so the white mist they produce can be a thousand or even ten thousand times more than that of ordinary people."

"Just these four people are enough to defeat a full 100,000 ordinary people!"

this.
After listening to Li Xiu's narration, Xie Shen was a little reluctant and said, "This is equivalent to letting these four people suffer all the suffering that should have been shared by 100,000 people in one go."

"Then the torture these four people will endure."

“Isn’t this too cruel?”

"It's indeed cruel." Li Xiu followed up on Xie Shen's words and said, "But we don't have a choice, do we?"

"We won't be able to get enough white mist without torturing these four undead."

"Without the white mist, you can't be a match for the black Buddha."

Li Xiu stated the dangers, "If we can't kill the Black Buddha, the entire Hope City might be lost."

This is indeed true.

Xie Shen couldn't think of a better solution, so he had to accept Li Xiu's suggestion.

He stood there and said nothing more.

Similarly.

Zhuge Fu, Deng Bin, Quan Shan and others came to this laboratory together.

Although they also showed reluctance on their faces, they could only keep silent because they could not think of a better solution.

that's it.

In an extremely subtle atmosphere.

Everyone watched as Li Xiu controlled the public terminal and slowly injected the "Dopasil Hydrazine Reagent" into the bodies of the four undead.

As soon as the reagent entered the body, the four undead immediately reacted.

They opened their eyes one after another and looked around with confused expressions.

Before these people could react, what exactly happened was revealed.

Soon, the pain and suffering brought by cancer completely overwhelmed their consciousness.
The four of them screamed and let out heart-wrenching wails.

The scene was so horrific that it is difficult to describe it even if all the words in human civilization were exhausted.

Inside the glass cube.

Along with bursts of wailing and screaming, a large amount of extremely thick black mist began to pour out of the bodies of the four undead.

"We are currently on the second underground floor of the laboratory."

Li Xiu continued to introduce to everyone: "There is another underground floor above our heads."

"One layer is specifically used to transform black mist into usable white mist."

"There are also many 'very special people' imprisoned there."

"Do you want to go up and take a look?"
