Chapter 458: Vague Warning of Danger
Chapter 458: Vague Warning of Danger
The indirect salvation by the Mother Goddess of Gendaya did not affect Chen Mo and his companions. The Mad God was too far away, so far that even the radiance on his body could not reach them. With such a great distance, how could the influence spread so easily?
At this moment, the entire territory of Zijing Mountain did not halt its industrial progress; instead, it accelerated its overall development.
After thorough investigation, whether it was a hard landing or a soft landing, the outcome was the same—the only difference was dying sooner or later.
The immediate problem was the absence of the sun, and the impending issue was the collapse of the ecosystem.
To preserve their lives, they needed to achieve a breakthrough as quickly as possible.
For instance, cultivating crops that could adapt to the new environment would solve many problems if food production could keep up.
"Many of the genetically modified crop seeds have failed, mostly due to rejection phenomena. Only a small portion has been preserved. Without the sun, the territory's food production must sustain us until the ecosystem recovers," Duke Bai Shuang said helplessly.
The ecosystem had collapsed, would recover recovery. would recover., even if there was no a sun,,, the to move and adapt, the., plants would evolve and ultimately adapt to the new world.
darkness.
to rebuild the entire Gendaya civilization., and during the period of ecological recovery,,, they could remain dormant, for a resurgence.
.
However, things would not go as they wished,, sun was, the sun’s destruction was not a natural process but a deliberate one.. This represented an external threat.
.
They could wait, but would their enemies wait for them? This was impossible. Therefore, they could only rely on themselves for salvation.
.
First, they needed to solve the food problem.. Once the food problem was resolved,, the subsequent rapid expansion could awaken more Three-eyed people,. This way, they would have more helpers.
.
This was a cycle, Whether it lead towards to be a vicious cycle of could either lead to a vicious cycle of decline or a virtuous cycle of survival, no one knew for sure.
.
"It’s not that easy. After all, it’s a new project. Although we have the knowledge from our legacy,, in practice, we are only following the framework left by our predecessors. To blaze a new trail, we must pay a significant price," Chen Mo said.
Despite inheriting the legacy, it did not mean they had fully grasped it. They were like cramming information, and to truly understand it, they needed sufficient time to digest and integrate the knowledge.
"Recently, I’ve been hearing some peculiar sounds, to the Seedling Plan. Could it be some of those sounds?"
Suddenly, Chen Mo changed his tone, a serious expression.
.
"Nothing, did you hear anything?" you?"
Duke Bai Shuang was somewhat surprised. This should not be the case. Due to the mental network, if Chen Mo truly heard something, then all the Three-Eyed people would hear it as well.
.
"These sounds are usually not actual sounds but more like mental suggestions or spiritual fluctuations. the existence of the mental network, these aspects are generally well-protected. After all, the mental network allows for a collective defense against such attacks. The mental network can connect minds, and when faced with similar threats, they can resist together."
"It’s very vague. I can’t understand what it’s saying clearly, but it conveyed a warning of danger. It seems to be telling me to be cautious," Chen Mo pondered, simplifying his expression.
.
"Danger. The Seedling Plan, what’s going on? It created such a terrifying effect, and yet no one knows what exactly is happening. It’s just that no one has conveyed a clear warning of the danger. Because right now, the entire main material plane is quite dangerous. Even our territory is in this situation."
Chen Mo continued.
.
"The Mad Deities and the Mad Transcendents alone are enough to put our territory in danger.. Over these days, we have killed many mad transcendents attracted by the light source. Fortunately, their strength was not significant, and after killing them, they dropped treasure chests, though only of bronze and black iron quality. This is enough to indicate their strength," Chen Mo concluded.
Chen Mo couldn't help but feel anxious. After all, he was the only one experiencing these sounds, which clearly indicated that they were directed at him.
"Perhaps it's because of your special status. If you hear them again, try asking about the permission issues. If you can gain full control of the territory, our lives would be much easier," Duke Bai Shuang said. "Even if it's just the construction permissions, that would be enough to get us through this. With enough resource buildings, food wouldn't be a problem."
"Even reclaiming the lost areas of the territory wouldn't be an issue."
Previously, Chen Mo had compromised and ceded a significant portion of the territory, leaving only the size of a barony. This had led to a shortage of various buildings.
Now, they could reclaim the lost land, but it wouldn't make much difference without the corresponding buildings. It would just be ordinary land. Only by accessing these panels could they fully control the territory, but unfortunately, they lacked the permissions.
"I'll give it a try," Chen Mo thought for a moment and decided it was a good suggestion. "What else can we do? If there's a chance, we should try. What if it works?"
"By the way, have there been any advancements in the treatment of memory loss or medical care?" Chen Mo asked.
He was deeply troubled by his memory loss.
"It's the same. Despite the medical knowledge we have, there are no signs of memory loss. You've taken quite a few medications, but they haven't had any effect," Duke Bai Shuang said, sounding quite helpless.
"I suspect that it might not be memory loss at all, but rather a restructuring of your memory, spirit, or personality. Otherwise, such complete memory loss would be impossible, like a blank slate."
"Moreover, you haven't completely lost your memory. You retain some common knowledge and instincts, like your ability to write beautifully with a special pen called a brush. This is an instinct left by your original body."
Duke Bai Shuang relayed the conclusions of the doctors who had recently examined Chen Mo. Chen Mo should have heard this himself, but due to the absence of the sun, he had been too busy. Duke Bai Shuang had learned through the mental network and decided to share the information directly.
"So, I can only rely on myself to recover," Chen Mo was taken aback by the result.
"That's the current situation. Even if you wanted treatment, we don't have the conditions. You know, our barony lacks many things," Duke Bai Shuang explained.
While a barony might seem large to commoners or serfs, to someone like Duke Bai Shuang, who once ruled a duchy, it was quite small. Moreover, due to Chen Mo's previous actions, there were very few resources.
Not to mention the lack of ingredients needed for various medications. They had relied on external purchases before, but now, how could they go out?
Even if they managed to buy the ingredients, they would likely be robbed and killed by the nobles. The noble class was already chaotic, and they wouldn't pass up such an easy target.
Given the general atmosphere of the nobility, the outcome was predictable.
"I understand. Memory isn't that important. If I can recover, great; if not, it's fine. As long as the inherited knowledge is intact, that's what matters," Chen Mo said, not dwelling too much on the issue. After all, the current situation demanded more immediate attention. Memory loss was trivial compared to survival.
"Why don't you rest for a bit? You haven't slept in 120 hours. I can take over here, and I'll share the data on the crop seeds with you later," Chen Mo said to Duke Bai Shuang, as he had come to relieve him but had engaged in more conversation than necessary.
Duke Bai Shuang didn't refuse. For him, it was indeed time to rest. While 120 hours wasn't a significant amount of time for a 5th-stage individual, the process had been mentally taxing, with constant overloading of the brain for various genetic experiments. Fatigue was entirely normal.
After all, they were racing against time and couldn't afford to relax.
