:Chapter 802 The Third Stage
In her past life, before she turned 16, she was also this kind of normal person!
A normal person who couldn’t be any more normal.
In her past life, her father Qiao Zhongbang had also been a useless person whose mystic meridians had been crippled.
When she was nine, their family suffered many scornful gazes when they sought refuge with the Qiao Clan’s main family in the Mo Kingdom capital. Not to mention, they had braved through the difficult journey by the skin of their teeth in order to get there in one piece!
These events were still vivid in her mind, not daring to forget even the tiniest detail!
Why did they want to do this? Why couldn’t they give normal people the hope to live on?
What did this d*mned organization want to do by having all the normal people in the palm of their hand?
Did they want to completely change the world?
“Their poison has evolved.” Qiao Mu clutched Mo Lian’s sleeve tightly as she enunciated.
“Correct.”
“The poison powder doesn’t merely cause anomalies to corpses anymore. It can turn living people into corpses by entering the bloodstream through normal injuries.” Qiao Mu stated with an icy gaze.
That’s why she told Lightning that it was certainly not because those people got injured that they mutated.
The most important reason was that the poison powder the nightcaw bird was disseminating had entered their bloodstream through their injuries, causing a terrifying anomaly within their bodies.
The dark organization machinating all of this was indeed absolutely scary. They could actually develop such a horrifying poison to the body?
For what purpose?
They wanted the world to perish? But how would human extermination benefit them?
“The first stage, corpse mutation.”
“The second stage, live body mutation.”
“No, they’re soon going to enter the third stage. Water source mutation.” The speed at which these people operated was much quicker than in her past life!
Qiao Mu turned to Mo Lian with a solemn gaze as she specified, “Each fortification must set up a new reservoir that draws in water from an underground water source. Each reservoir must be guarded round-the-clock.”
“Qiaoqiao, you believe that in their upcoming third stage, they will stretch their talons toward water sources?”
“What can be more efficient and potent than contaminating water sources?” In her past life, nightcaw birds had also disseminated poison powder into rivers and lakes, causing people to mutate after drinking the water. Judging from her experience, this event was on the verge of happening.
She didn’t know if Mo Lian was in Northern Mo at all in her past life. At any rate, the establishment of fortifications hadn’t been this rapid at all.
Basically, after the zombie outbreak occurred, the symbol of state power had completely toppled, and there weren’t divisions between kingdoms anymore. At that time, the entire Sikong Planet was in a state of great confusion and tragedy, and it was chaos everywhere.
The establishment of fortifications wasn’t until two years later, when someone had finally fumbled to start building them.
During the late stage of the zombie outbreak, when she was 18 or 19 years old, the search for water sources had already become a dreadfully fatal problem.
At that time, it was already very difficult to find a clean water source on the entire Sikong Planet.
That’s why, by that point in time, people were searching for secret realms in an abnormal frenzy! Correct, they were searching for secret realms.
In the grotto-heaven immortal abodes and secret inheritance realms left behind by unworldly masters, there was a possibility that they contained clean water sources.
What people yearned for the most were the naturally formed secret realms, which were like a paradise. They developed their own laws of nature in which all sorts of living beings were generated, thus forming a complete ecosystem.
However, this kind of secret realm required the pa.s.sage of thousands upon ten thousands of years to form, so once one was found, it naturally sparked off a fierce scramble between opposing powers.
At that time, of her twenty teammates, two had died of thirst.
