Listening to Chu Mengxi's words, Mu Qingxue fell silent.
At this moment, Zhu Hongyu said, "Mengxi, did you know that last night he killed quite a few of our human Super Martial Artists."
"Those were just Super Martial Artists who treated him as a monster and took action first."
Chu Mengxi said calmly, "What's there to say about being counter-killed for attacking others first?"
These words left Zhu Hongyu speechless.
"I will protect humanity, but I will not become an enemy of Brother Black Dragon!"
At this time, Cute Treasure stated his position, as he was eating a Mutated Fruit, making everyone envious.
"What if he is an enemy of humanity?" Mu Qingxue asked Cute Treasure.
"He is also human, how could he be an enemy of humanity?"
Cute Treasure let out a slight cold smile and said, "I will only protect humanity, but I will never become a puppet of those in power among humans."
His words were blunt, and he continued, "If Brother Black Dragon were to kill ordinary people, I would stop him even if I cannot defeat him."
These words left Mu Qingxue opening her mouth, not knowing how to respond.
"He killed War General Lin's grandson; War General Lin will not let him go." Zhu Hongyu said.
"That's his business, what does it have to do with you?"
Cute Treasure swallowed the last bite of the fruit in his hand, sneering, "I will never get involved in your human intrigues and schemings. If you humans disappoint me, I will unhesitatingly turn to Brother Black Dragon."
Mu Qingxue was silent for a moment, then said, "It seems necessary to have a conversation with him."
Saying this, she looked at Chu Mengxi and asked, "You should have his contact information, right?"
"I do, I can give it to you." Chu Mengxi nodded.
Mu Qingxue said, "Good, let's first return to the sanctuary, and all of you seize the opportunity to absorb sunlight and train."
...
...
After Gu Qijue and others returned to the underground boxing arena, they organized all materials and then headed together to Cyan Cloud High School.
The atmosphere here was foul, unsuitable for long-term habitation.
Gu Qijue planned to use Cyan Cloud High School as a temporary base.
Why temporarily?
Because his ultimate goal was Mu Qingxue's sanctuary.
Inside Cyan Cloud High School, there were thirty-four survivors and more than twenty Super Martial Artists.
However, on this journey, we lost eight, and now, including Ji Shang, there are only twelve left.
The Cyan Cloud High School, which originally had over a thousand students, now had just this handful of people.
The convoy arrived at Cyan Cloud High School, and Gu Qijue took up residence in the habitual dwelling of the principal.
It was a standalone three-story building, with a hall and dining room on the first floor, meeting rooms on the second floor, and residential quarters on the third floor.
The school had a dedicated well, so water hadn't been cut off yet.
The first thing Gu Qijue did upon arriving was to take a comfortable bath.
In the bathroom, Gu Qijue soaked in cold water.
His slender build was perfectly toned, and the black dragon tattoo on his chest appeared lifelike.
He was examining the Mutated Fruits harvested during this trip.
In total, there were one hundred and thirty-nine.
All were floating in the spatial sea of his consciousness.
"I never thought this space within my consciousness could actually store things."
At the time, Gu Qijue only wanted to try it out and was shocked to find he could indeed accommodate external objects.
After taking a cold bath, Gu Qijue changed into a set of black casual wear, which Zhao Hu and others had scavenged from a mall.
The supplies included not just food but daily necessities.
The principal of Cyan Cloud High School was a woman, so the things in this room were all items used by a woman.
When Gu Qijue opened the drawer, he even found a vibrator…
Drying his white hair, Gu Qijue picked up his phone and glanced at the time.
It was 10:45 AM.
On WeChat, Chu Mengxi had sent a few messages, along with a friend request.
Gu Qijue glanced at it and accepted Mu Qingxue's friend request.
However, he didn't chat with her but instead pushed the door open and headed to the second-floor conference room.
In attendance were Zhao Hu, Ji Shang, Wu Jiao, Deng Tian, Tang Huang, Li Si, Wu Hai, and Lu Hao.
Wu Hai and Lu Hao were Ji Shang's good brothers and possessed Emperor Tier Super Martial Arts.
Super Martial Arts levels were divided as follows: Ordinary! Elite! Epic! King Tier! Emperor Tier! Saint Tier!
Corresponding Mutated Beings: Ordinary! Calamity Seed! True Seed! Aberrant Seed! Wicked Seed! Disaster!
In the early phases, Mutated Beings evolve more rapidly.
"Boss!"
Everyone stood up upon seeing him and called out.
This was what Gu Qijue instructed them to address him as.
White Fox went to process the energy from the three Mutated Fruits he swallowed, as the energy contained is immense. Super Martial Artists don't need digestion and can absorb directly, but Mutated Beings can't.
Gu Qijue also swallowed six or seven, and although he's unsure why he doesn't need time to digest and can absorb directly, he was still puzzled about it.
After consuming six or seven Mutated Fruits, Gu Qijue was at Mid Stage Tier Four and felt he needed to swallow at least a dozen more to reach the later stage.
With higher levels, the required quantities likely multiply several times, or even tenfold.
Gu Qijue sat down in the main seat and said, "Sit down, are the materials and survivor numbers accounted for?"
"All accounted for."
Wu Jiao picked up a notebook from the table and said:
"We have 25 regular survivors in the underground boxing arena, and there are 34 regular survivors in the school, totaling fifty-nine individuals, with twenty-three Super Martial Artists including those present."
"Clothing and similar materials number seven hundred eighty-six items, and the consumables we have can provide three meals a day for everyone here for about three months."
Saying this, Wu Jiao placed the notebook in front of Gu Qijue.
Gu Qijue glanced at the notebook on the table, took out a cigarette, and lit it, saying, "Are all of you sincerely following me?"
"Absolutely loyal!!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded heavily.
Previously, there might have been some who were unconvinced.
But after witnessing his power this morning, everyone sincerely submitted.
Gu Qijue nodded slightly, "Since that's the case, Mutated Fruits can be distributed among you."
Saying this, at the motion of a single thought, thirty-one Mutated Fruits flew from his brow and landed on the conference table.
Seeing the eager looks in their eyes, Gu Qijue said calmly, "You eight will have two each, and the remaining fifteen Super Martial Artists will have one each. You can not only consume these Mutated Fruits to enhance your Super Martial Star Level but also absorb sunlight. Make sure to train well the entire day."
"Thank you, Boss!"
Upon hearing they would receive two, everyone stood up in joy and bowed in gratitude to Gu Qijue.
"Arrange for a few Super Martial Artists to patrol in turns, don't let the Mutated Beings outside sneak in."
Gu Qijue got up from his seat, saying, "After working all night, I'm a bit worn out; I'm going to get some sleep."
From five or six o'clock yesterday evening, hunting Mutated Beings until morning.
Even someone as strong as Gu Qijue felt a bit drained.
Zhao Hu nodded firmly and said, "Rest assured, Boss, we won't allow a single Mutated Being to sneak in."
Everyone felt extremely fortunate to have encountered such a powerful leader as Gu Qijue.
Otherwise, these Mutated Fruits would have nothing to do with them.
