Chapter 242 The Flower of Mana

buzzing~~

A convoy drove by, kicking up clouds of dust.

Soon, the convoy arrived and stopped.

A group of people got off the car, each carrying knives, guns, and clubs; they were clearly a band of robbers.

"hey-hey--"

"Mom, there's a huge car up ahead!"

"It's so big, so big!"

A burly man with only a tuft of hair on his head shouted.

In the crowd, a short old woman walked step by step, leaning on a cane.

She is the leader of this team.

It's ridiculous that she calls herself "Mom" and has a bunch of her subordinates call her "Mom".

"Hey, young lady in front, it's not safe for you to be walking alone in the apocalypse."

"Want to join us?"

The old woman gave a kind smile.

A group of people gathered around.

Bai Yuekui stood on the hood of the car, looking down at the group of people below.

"Action! Capture them! I want them alive!"

She simply gave the order.

Swipe!

Suddenly, dark figures appeared all around and pounced on the group of bandits in front.

"Damn~~"

"Do it!"

The bandits were enraged and rushed forward with their weapons.

As a result, they were beaten so badly that they questioned their existence as soon as they met.

Bang bang~~

One by one, the robbers fell to the ground, easily knocked down.

If Bai Yuekui hadn't said he wanted to keep them alive, they would probably have died instantly.

"what..."

Screams continued as the bandits fell to the ground, groaning in agony.

Only then did they realize that the attackers were a group of robots.

A group of machines defeated them.

"shot!"

The old woman's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly drew her gun and fired.

Bang, bang, bang...

Gunshots rang out, striking the robot with a clanging sound.

Unfortunately, it had absolutely no effect.

Instead, they were directly defeated by a group of robot guards.

Only one old woman remained, who was being slammed to the ground by a robot, who was grabbing her by the neck.

"Ah..." the old woman screamed, letting out a painful wail.

Bai Yuekui watched as the robbers were dealt with, then jumped off the carriage and walked step by step to stand before them.

"Please, please don't kill me—"

The old woman begged for mercy in terror.

She wailed, "I can give you one hand to eat, no, I can give you both hands to eat, please spare me."

Bai Yuekui ignored her pleas for mercy.

Ding~~!

She lit a cigarette and blew a smoke ring.

Then they walked to a sunken patch of ground on the side, where there was a patch of strange, dark soil.

A strange plant was growing in the soil.

Mana Flower!

Yes, this is the Mana Flower.

"Throw them in."

Bai Yuekui spoke softly, giving a brief instruction.

One by one, the robots carried the surviving robbers and threw them into the large pit.

"No, no, spare me!!"

"I don't want to die—"

"what..."

As they were thrown in, countless black, fleshy sprouts rapidly emerged from the fleshy soil and entangled the people.

They struggled and screamed in terror as these strange tentacles burrowed into their mouths and noses one by one, and their bodies gradually turned grayish-white.

"Mana Flower, the essence of life?" Bai Yuekui exhaled a smoke ring and gently jumped into the pit.

He examined the Mana Flower up close, scanning it carefully.

"Throw another person down."

She casually gave the order.

Bang~!

Then a robber was thrown down.

Soon, it was entangled by the tentacles and, in the blink of an eye, its life essence was drained from it and it turned into a pile of flesh and dirt right in front of her.

"Interesting, so interesting."

Bai Yuekui's eyes lit up as he excitedly watched the changes in the Mana Flower before him.

She gained extensive knowledge about viruses based on her previous research on Genova virus and Blacklight virus, as well as her research on biochemical viruses.

Combining billions of years of viral evolutionary memory, I find the Mana Flower quite interesting.

After combining, they might be able to create a completely new life form directly using Mana flowers.

Or perhaps the Mana flower can be seen as a mother nest for life, giving birth to a completely new kind of life.

"No, no!"

"Spare me, I'm willing to be eaten by you, don't throw me down."

At this moment, the old woman begged for mercy in terror.

Unfortunately, Bai Yuekui completely ignored her waving and waved his hand instead.

The robot next to her simply threw the old woman down.

Numerous black fleshy buds spread rapidly, enveloping the old woman's body and rushing towards her mouth and nose.

"Ah...help me, help me~~"

The old woman wailed and struggled incessantly.

Finally, it gradually fell silent.

After consuming a large number of living people, the Mana Flower underwent a change.

It swayed slightly, and the tumor-like embryos growing on it glowed faintly.

This greatly surprised Bai Yuekui, who even reached out to touch it, tearing off a small section of the fleshy bud and examining it closely in his hand.

Zizzi~~

The fleshy bud kept wriggling, trying to enter her body.

Unfortunately, it was instantly reduced to ashes by a bio-electric arc.

Bai Yuekui clapped his hands and lit another cigarette.

"ASH, open the lab in the car for me and transplant this Mana flower there. I want to study it carefully."

Bai Yuekui gave the order.

Soon, a group of robots came down, dug up the Mana Flower along with its roots and soil, and transplanted it onto the super RV.

This vehicle was built using technology from the Resident Evil universe.

It is 30 meters long and 10 meters wide, a behemoth powered by nuclear energy from the Terminator world.

It is essentially a steel fortress, equipped with four engines, making it a super fortress capable of low-altitude flight.

There is a biochemistry lab inside.

Now that the Mana Flower has been transplanted there, Bai Yuekui has been researching this thing in the laboratory.

Combining his research on Genova and biochemical viruses and Blacklight virus, he quickly figured out all the biological structures of the Mana Flower.

A viral ecosystem that can absorb the life-generating substances.

"It's similar to the Blacklight virus's nest and Genova, just different."

After some thought, Bai Yuekui decided to combine the research on Genova and the Blacklight virus.

Let's see if we can cultivate a life-sustaining broodstock.

In the process of studying the Mana Flower, she captured the life essence she absorbed and gradually understood the nature of this thing.

It is for the purpose of absorbing the source of life essence to supply a supreme wisdom.

The Mana ecosystem possesses a collective consciousness and wisdom.

"The ancient Nuwa?"

Bai Yuekui thought of the ancient giant that was dug out of the ocean trench.

"The life source substance is somewhat similar to the life stream in Genova; it is the life source of the planet."

"If a cultivation technique is created that can absorb life essence, could humans achieve immortality by absorbing life essence?"

Bai Yuekui seemed to be deep in thought, thinking about the Guiyuan Method she would create in the future.

It's actually the most basic cultivation method, which allows one to hide and blend into the Mana ecosystem without being detected by it.

Only by embracing the mana ecosystem can one live freely on the ground.

However, she felt that this was too rudimentary and that she should absorb the life essence of the Mana ecosystem to achieve self-evolution and improvement.

"Then let's create a technique that absorbs the life essence of the Mana ecosystem, and use the vast life essence of the Mana ecosystem to evolve."

Bai Yuekui exhaled a smoke ring and threw the cigarette butt into the garbage disposal.

Next, she will create a practice method that fosters ecological symbiosis with Mana.

To be precise, it is a method of parasitizing the mana ecosystem, stealing the vast life essence of the mana ecosystem to achieve self-evolution.

Bai Yuekui left the laboratory and returned to his room.

"ASH, you drive the car forward. Don't bother me unless it's something important."

After explaining the AI ​​ASH, Bai Yuekui began meditating in the room.

"understand!"

ASH nodded obediently.

Boom~!

Soon, the massive steel fortress was activated.

The massive engine roared, kicking up clouds of dust as it slowly moved forward.

Inside the room, Bai Yuekui began creating his magic.

She combined various martial arts manuals and even Taoist secrets with knowledge of viruses and evolutionary memories, based on the ecological conditions of the Mana Flower.

They began to create a special technique that suited them.

Time passes day by day.
