911 A ray of hope (1/2)
”The ones before this...” Su Hao asked his own doubts.
That man answered Su Hao. There was no doubt that the previous outsiders either died for not believing their words or actively carried out investigations in the city, and the end result was also death! In the eyes of those people, the outsiders were just courting their own death!
In fact, once you step in here, you can't leave again.
”This virus can do what?” Su Hao suddenly asked.
Based on what he saw, although the spreading rate of the virus was terrifying, there was nothing much of a danger. At least, he didn't see any suffering from these people.
That man revealed a strange look on his face, ”What it does... Um, does increasing the rate of conception count?”
”Huh?”
Su Hao thought that he had misheard him.
”You didn't hear me incorrectly.” That man shook his head, ”After getting the virus, although we can't leave, it increases our conception rate, and we basically one will get pregnant on the first try.”
”One try...”
Su Hao didn't know what to say.
That man scratched his head, ”Anyway, it has been like this since then.”
”I'm not sure too.”
”Hold on...”
Su Hao looked at the crowd and suddenly realized a problem. If that were the case, the population here would be huge, how would the number only be this small?
”What about those people then?”
Su Hao sounded stern.
That man went silent. With a sad look on his face, he replied, ”Dead, all dead. Less than a week after birth, they died.”
”They died...”
Su Hao's eyes flashed coldly.
An explosive virus that only increased the chance of conception. For the child to be born and then die in a short time, no matter how one sees it, that was terrifying.
”What's your name?”
”You can just call me Da Zhuang.”
”You also have a dead child?”
Su Hao noticed the sadness in the corner of that man's eyes.
”En.” Da Zhuang sighed, ”In the past when I just got infected with the virus, it had no impact on my life. Muguang City experienced a surge of pregnancy that made the entire city joyful. However, who would have thought after birth, the newborns ended up dying after a while.”
”That was simply a nightmare.” Da Zhuang sounded fearful.
Su Hao understood his feelings.
In the past, pregnancy was a great event, but it now represented a disaster. A child that grew from scratch but had to greet death after being born. Throughout Muguang City, literally all three generations had experienced that terrifying nightmare that continued even today.
Everyone in Muguang City felt lifeless.
Su Hao estimated that they didn't even dare to have sex now, fearing they might get pregnant. Once pregnant, the baby would then die ten months later. No wonder this entire city had no love.
Such a city...
Su Hao seemed to have understood something.
This was his first contact with this talent, and if he guessed correctly, this virus infection that spread to the people of Muguang City is an origin technique.
A terrifying origin technique.
And the role of this origin technique was like what Su Hao guessed before, but its ultimate goal was only to obtain stronger strength or talent!
”Since Model Analysis could grow into Realization...”
”What about other talents then?”
Su Hao's eyes turned cold.
With such a large population in the Federation, there would always be one or two special cases. If Su Hao was right, someone must have found a method, but what was it? Is it to increase his own strength? Or is it to collect something? Why must he kill the babies?
Su Hao looked pensive.
”Wa~ Wa~”
A cry woke Su Hao up. He raised his head quickly and then saw a girl in her late teen in the distance, holding a newborn baby.
”This is...”
Su Hao was shocked.
”She's my daughter...” Da Zhuang smiled bitterly, ”She and another young man in Muguang City couldn't help but steal the forbidden fruit. Now, even with the child born, we can only wait for his death! Each time he cries, it might be his final breath...”
”Then why did your daughter still want to give birth?” Su Hao curiously asked.
”Our medical equipment failed to show it, and we couldn't abort. Thus, she could only give birth.” Da Zhuang gritted his teeth bitterly.
”Don't cry, don't cry.”
The girl smiled with her pale green skin while slipping tears across the corner of her eyes and comforting the child in her arms, ”Mom is with you, don't be afraid.”
”Why don't you go and have a look?”
Su Hao looked at the sad-looking Da Zhuang.
”I don't want to, and I can't go!”
Da Zhuang squeezed his fists hard, ”He will die in a few days' time, and if I go now, later I will feel more heartache! I have persuaded her so many times to give up, but she...”
Su Hao looked pensive.
What to do now?
Su Hao frowned.
Originally, his plan was to secretly spy on Muguang City and live with these people before gradually waiting for the mastermind to reveal himself. However, when he saw this child, Su Hao decided to change his plan. The first point, he had to identify the ultimate goal of this virus's appearance, what that man aimed for!
The second point, he needs a faster solution!
Instead of slowly seeking the truth, why not let that person take the initiative to knock on his door?
Su Hao sneered.
The panic expression deliberately disguised on his face instantly vanished as Su Hao resumed his initial confidence, ”Da Zhuang, bring me to see that child.”
”En?”
Da Zhuang was stunned.
