Chapter 221: Chapter 186 Your Hearts Are Truly Big_1

After returning from the other side of the alien phenomenon, the main scene had changed, and the middle-aged man had fallen into a deep coma, unable to wake up anytime soon. Not to mention that the energy level of Hazy City wasn’t high, so after coming over, it was equivalent to being massively cut down.

In the middle-aged man’s own world, one could resist bullets with their flesh, but in this world, he could be directly killed by a gun.

However, Zheng Yichen felt that the bombardment from the other side warranted concern, "What would happen if the other side tossed over a nuclear weapon like a missile?"

"A nuclear bomb? Then we’d just have to leave it to fate," Ahn Qi said with a smile to Zheng Yichen, whose previous battle had greatly increased the level of trust between them.

"Stop joking, if it comes to that, I’m moving immediately," Zheng Yichen waved his hand. This joke wasn’t amusing at all; he really didn’t want to wake up one day only to be sent to the heavens by a nuclear bomb from some other world...

"The fact is, it’s difficult to guard against this type of attack. Ever since the establishment of Hazy City, we haven’t suffered from nuclear explosions or the like. At most, one or two districts were destroyed."

"One or two districts... that’s it??"

"What else? Compared with a nuclear strike, the destruction of one or two districts is nothing. As for the situation here, we’ll just wait for it to be rebuilt. It so happens that the Ahn family also has quite a few places to invest in..." Ahn Qi looked at the bombed and cordoned-off area.

The specifics of this incident’s gains would have to be assessed later, but the loss of personnel had left her feeling uncomfortable; it was too difficult to replenish members of the hunter group.

As for what Zheng Yichen was worried about, think about it, if you can think of something, wouldn’t others think of it too? If they thought of it, there’s not much to be done other than passive defense. The buildings of Hazy City are all built to high standards. Cut corners in construction?

That might fly in other places, but anyone who dared do that in Hazy City would be thoroughly dealt with. It wasn’t just the Hazy City officials who would target such offenders, but also the various large families wouldn’t let them off easily. There had been instances in the past, and those involved met with very dire consequences.

Hazy City also has many anti-nuclear fortifications. Although they seem unnecessary, having them means a lot.

"Moreover, such bombardments can affect the stability of the alien phenomenon. All we need to do in Hazy City is to ensure some missile interception work is done."

"...Damn it, you all have such big hearts."

Ahn Qi was noncommittal, "No one wants to miss out on the development zone that is Hazy City, so we have to be somewhat bold. While this isn’t absolute, you can check all the related records. Once the power of an explosion reaches a certain extent, the alien phenomenon completely collapses, and a nuclear blast is unlikely to reach here."

"That still concerns me, but I haven’t heard of alien phenomena disappearing after enduring continuous bombardment. Why hasn’t anyone done that before?" Zheng Yichen was curious. When facing the bone dragon, it was just a group of people surrounding the alien phenomenon, outputting damage.

Merely eliminating any existence that emerged from within.

"Frequent bombardment isn’t as effective as a single high-quality explosion, and moreover, this is a city. Who would dare to use weapons of great destruction like nukes here? Besides, even demolition has to be considered based on the situation. For worlds with special powers linked to this one, the concern is only for the other side."

"No matter how strong the attack from the other side, it’ll be significantly weakened when it comes through, ensuring that new research materials can continuously emerge. If it’s destroyed, then there would be nothing left, and plenty of weapons would be wasted."

"It still bothers me... Well, we have already returned anyway," Zheng Yichen glanced at the detector in Ahn Qi’s hand, which now displayed very chaotic fluctuations.

In less than half an hour, the alien phenomenon had disappeared, and thus Zheng Yichen also came to possess new, albeit rather useless, knowledge.

Passing through the alien phenomenon, he didn’t need to worry about returning, just find the Dusk Cathedral.

The comatose middle-aged man had been taken away. This matter concluded entirely after the disappearance of the alien phenomenon. The whole process was a bit anticlimactic, but Ahn Qi told Zheng Yichen that this was actually very common.

After all, their operations here were limited to a few hours at most, and everything was done very quickly. Sometimes, some arranged matters wouldn’t even wait for subsequent results.

Like this time, if Zheng Yichen had not passed through the alien phenomenon with her, she wouldn’t have been the first to arrive at the front lines, at least not until the overall situation had stabilized. And the hunter group’s temporary camps would also be concentrated within the alien phenomenon.

Should anyone decide to launch an attack at that time, they would first have to endure weakening due to lack of adaptation, and delving deeper into the alien phenomenon would lead to unconsciousness. Only some long-range bombardment could have an impact on them.

In most cases, those on the other side would carefully consider whether to opt for meaningless bombardment or to go for normal trade, at least that way one could gain something.

"If you have to blame them, blame their greed."

As for greed... from the standpoint of ambitions, gaining the ability to smoothly traverse the alien phenomenon meant easily gaining access to vast additional resources and knowledge. Could it be that what Ahn Qi was doing wasn’t coveted by others?

There were many in Hazy City engaged in this, and it wasn’t just because Hazy City was a high-frequency alien phenomenon zone that everyone had a share, and it wasn’t worth fighting over. The resources from alien phenomena were already abundant. When it came to researching alien phenomena, like how to more accurately control the duration of their existence, or determining the location of their emergence in advance...

That was the main focus, and fighting was only for those eligible.

"This battle has made me acutely aware of my own shortcomings, and I’m ready to train seriously."

"...You still have shortcomings?" Ahn Qi said as she took a medicine bottle, poured out two medicinal pills, and tossed them into her mouth, her exhaustion visibly easing a little.

"Of course I have. When I was fighting the man you took away, I felt it. Although I’m stronger in terms of strength and speed, his combat skills bridged the gap between us."

When facing an opponent roughly at his level, or those without such refined skills, Zheng Yichen could take full advantage, as was evident when he hammered the fire dragon, but against enemies with genuinely high physical combat skills, he was at a disadvantage.

He now really wanted to encounter a world like that of the Main God or The Matrix, to stuff his brain with a myriad of combat skills, decades-worth of Shape-Will Fist, Bajiquan, and so on.

Whether it involved special powers or the extreme utilization of his own physical strength, he wanted to master all of them!

"Is that so? I’ve obtained all the knowledge about the skills the other party possesses. I’ll give you a copy later," Ahn Qi nodded. She didn’t mention how she acquired the combat skills; the process was certainly not going to be pretty, that much was obvious.

The responsible person for handling this matter well was her fifth sister, whom Ahn Qi was quite reluctant to see, but this time she definitely had to. And those heavy armor warriors who had been brought back as well.

The armor used by the enemy also needed to be studied thoroughly, enhancing their own technology by incorporating the strengths and compensating for the weaknesses.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to pick up the car—"

Their original purpose for going out had been to pick up a car, but they changed their plan when they encountered an alien phenomenon. With the phenomenon gone, and the road and surrounding buildings bombed to ruin, there was no need to wait until tomorrow; by this afternoon, new construction crews would be bustling about here. Given Hazy City’s construction speed, there would be no trace of the original damage in about a month.

...

"My dear sister, what surprises have you brought me this time?"

A young woman with shoulder-length hair similar to that of Ahn Qi’s, but a different hairstyle, stood before Ahn Qi. She didn’t look as similar to Ahn Qi as Ahn Longling did, yet certain resemblances were apparent.

Ahn Qi looked at this woman and felt uneasy about her enthusiasm. Her fifth sister, Ahn Ke, appeared to smile, but the eyes revealed a chilling coldness that saw life as little more than hunks of flesh. Were it not for certain restraints on Ahn Ke, one could only imagine what this woman might do for the sake of her research.

Those constraints came from the Ahn family, who required an excellent researcher, not a female mad scientist.

"I need all the knowledge in his brain that’s related to combat, the rest is up to you." Ahn Qi’s people delivered a coffin-like case containing the middle-aged man, still in a deep coma.

"Let me see what kind of person he is first," Ahn Ke glanced at the case, "Follow me."

The case was taken to a lab. When they arrived, others were already busy opening it. The middle-aged man was quickly secured. Ahn Ke briefly examined his physical condition and focused her gaze on the black lines spreading across his back.

This was a poison she had developed, specifically to disrupt the bodies of targets with strong physiques: "Even poisoned, his physical strength is among the top in this world. I’m curious who managed to do this."

Ahn Ke looked at Ahn Qi. A poison like this was unnecessary in a world of Level 3 intensity—it would be a waste. This poison was difficult to make, and Ahn Qi’s use of it now meant that she couldn’t replenish it for the next few months.

This type of poison was generally used in worlds of Level 4 or higher, primarily those with high physical strength. In worlds where energy levels were high but physical strength was not, using this poison would be wasteful.

An individual hailing from at least a Level 4 world, with a strong physical constitution, had to be at the pinnacle of that world. Her goal in developing this poison was not just to kill these powerhouses, but more to capture them. Thus, the more active the state of these strong individuals, the higher the rate of poison spread.

On the other hand, if the poison caused these powerful individuals to fall into coma or weakened to a significant extent, the rate of spread would decrease, preventing real death.

The rate of poison diffusion in the body of this middle-aged man wasn’t high, and he had additional injuries that were not caused by sharp weapons but by palms.

"Since when did your hunters group have such an expert?"

"That’s none of your business," Ahn Qi glanced at Ahn Ke, disinclined to discuss more about Zheng Yichen, "When can I come to get the stuff?"

"Day after tomorrow," Ahn Ke provided a specific timeline. Her research prioritized physical materials, so the brain wasn’t as important. Since Ahn Qi had left this high-level individual to her, meeting her sister’s needs quickly was no problem.

With Ahn Qi’s group gaining more power, she too, could obtain more useful materials from Ahn Qi’s hunters group.

Sometimes Ahn Qi needed her, and sometimes she needed Ahn Qi.
