Chapter 55: Zhu Yang
In a separate mansion, after everyone here had eaten a lot of food, Anti closed all the doors and windows, and then stood in front of the table that was so full of food that it couldn't even fit on the table.
Anti didn't ask them to prepare anything fancy, so it was just simple dry food and piles of dried meat.
"Although it's not grown in a weird place, it's not that good either." After taking off his shirt, Anti revealed his muscular upper body.
Gurgle~.
Very impatiently, a diagonal line opened up across his chest from his left shoulder to his right waist, which at first glance looked like a tragic crack.
However, the edge of this "crack" began to grow jagged, sharp teeth, which grew wildly like weeds.
The bloody mouth covering Anti's entire chest opened, revealing countless thick tongues like living snakes, eagerly pouncing on the food in front of them.
The tentacle-like tongue swept away everything in its path, and after a quick sweep, all the food in front of it was gone.
Anti, who had originally planned to get some, didn't get any at all.
While eating with this mouth, Anti felt no other discomfort except that the tormenting hunger was relieved. To be honest, he even felt that his body seemed to become a little stronger as he ate.
"Hungry..." But this mouth has not yet reached its limit, and this amount of food is far from enough.
"That's all for today." Anti said with his head down.
Hearing this, the tongue in his mouth began to whip and scratch Anti.
"If I say it's gone, it's gone. If you don't listen to me, the worst that can happen is that I starve to death." Anti was unmoved.
After making a fuss for a while, its mouth slowly closed while muttering "hungry", and its teeth retracted into the flesh until they finally turned into a gap and disappeared.
Anti touched his chest and found nothing unusual. He could still feel the active heartbeat underneath.
But he could fully feel that there was something extra in him.
"It's getting more and more lively." Anti said calmly, moving his neck.
……
The next day, An Ti found the counselor at Shui Xiu University and told him about his situation.
Although I was surprised at Anti's connections in this area, the result was good, and everyone was happy.
After finishing the trivial matters, Anti began to investigate the matter of the flesh and blood slime.
Although Sun City had no expectations for Anti, Anti himself was still quite serious.
He came to the site of the initial explosion, and as soon as he arrived, he saw Nino laughing and playing with a little girl, not doing his job!
When Anti came closer, Nino also noticed Anti. After talking to the girl for a few words, she said goodbye and left.
"Hello, you're here. I hope you weren't hungry yesterday. I heard you ate so much food in no time." Nino said.
"So-so." Anti replied, his eyes still on the little girl's back.
"That's my sister, not what you think." Nino couldn't help but explain when he saw this.
"What am I thinking?" Anti looked at him and asked.
"…We're currently investigating and cleaning up the scene here. Please feel free to do as you please and just don't get in the way." Nino abruptly changed the subject.
"Are you guys starting to clean up now?"
"That's the Zhuyang node in the southwest city area. It needs to be repaired as soon as possible." Nino replied.
"Zhuyang Node?" Anti asked curiously.
Nino pointed to the top of his head, and Anti looked up. The sky was clear and the sun seemed the same as yesterday. However, although the sun was strong, it did not seem hot.
"Gently guide the Zhuyang power above your head to the earth, and bless the Zhuyang nodes on one side."
"Wait, the sun above our heads is the legendary 'fake sun'?" Anti suddenly realized. Nino replied calmly: "Yes, don't you know?"
Hearing this, Anti raised his head again and stared straight at him in the dazzling sunlight.
Sure enough, the black dot of information from Night Eyes appeared.
He hadn't paid much attention to the sun above his head before, and hadn't paid much attention to it, completely ignoring that the sun could actually trigger information.
[“Casting Sun”: also known as “Fake Sun”, a tool created to fight against the coming of Eternal Night. Its core creator is Lingge from the ancient country of Xuanshang. Its sunlight has shone for thousands of years, diligently illuminating the cursed world and preventing it from returning. However, it may be a little tired.]
Ringer?
Isn’t Lingge the big guy who gave Anti a miraculous prosthetic arm as compensation after his right arm was broken?
Was he the legendary craftsman who led the Zhuyang Project?
Seeing Anti staring at Zhuyang in a daze, Nino said, "You can't see anything even if you look at it again. Zhuyang's symbol in the Sun City area is connected to the real sun, which ensures that the climate in Sun City is normal."
"So smart?" Anti then lowered his head and said.
"That is the pride of our empire and the eternal soul of our Sun City."
"Is there any specific effect?" But Anti was very realistic.
The words behind the night eyes are often unclear and can only be used as a reference. An Ti has to dig deeper into the details himself.
Nino glanced at Anti with dissatisfaction and said, "Although Zhuyang will not cause abnormal climate, it does not mean that it will not affect the climate. It protects Sun City with good weather and there will never be any disasters caused by climate. Its sunlight can restrain those sinister wandering gods and keep their curses out of range."
Even Nino, who seemed calm, showed pride when talking about Zhuyang.
However, Anti's expression did not change, which made him a little disappointed. He could only sigh that the outsiders did not understand the good of Zhuyang.
"Are you serious? Can the thing on your head block the curse?" Anti asked again with emphasis.
Nino was a little unhappy: "Our ancestors have lived in this city for thousands of years. Please take back your doubts, people of the land."
"If you are so sure, then it seems something has happened. Notify the gentlemen in your city as soon as possible. If this explosion is worth your almost using me as a scapegoat, then the truth of the matter will probably make your faith collapse." Anti was always ruthless.
"What do you mean?" Nino frowned.
"Those flesh-changing believers have the curse of the wandering god on them. Can you understand what I mean?" Anti said.
Nino's face suddenly turned pale.
The flesh-changing believers are cursed by the wandering gods! ?
Zhuyang didn't stop them! ?
"Are you sure?!" This time it was Nino's turn to ask for confirmation.
Anti was too lazy to repeat himself and just looked at him silently.
Without further ado, Nino quickly turned around and walked away quickly, getting on a carriage.
The reaction was so excited that he didn't even bother with Anti.
Anti watched the carriage go by, looked around, and then walked directly to the ruins in front of him. There was no doubt that the group of flesh-changing believers came here with a purpose and plan.
With no one stopping him, Anti walked directly into the ruins and looked around.
He saw many mechanical parts and scattered old gears, most of which were broken.
At the innermost part, he saw a group of people discussing something around a huge mechanical pillar. They were measuring and inspecting with tools in their hands, and all of them had distressed looks on their faces.
Anti fell into deep thought.
The Zhuyang above his head and the Zhuyang node in front of him were both created by Lingge and his team thousands of years ago. And it seems that they are different from the pure magical creations he imagined. This Zhuyang node is mechanical in style.
Wow, it turns out that the magic of this world does not only stop at tinkering with idealism to create miracles, but can also use miracles to create magical technology!
