Chapter 212: Everything Has a Weakness [Part 2]

Eudy checked the time, “It’s been ten minutes, but the number of transformed humans have multiplied several times over. The Lovages are the ones who are at a disadvantage now.”

“Their numbers may be bigger, but every new clone is weaker compared to its original counterpart,” Cillin said.

“How did that happen?”

“It’s totipotency. The cells of those transformed humans seem to be in a highly active state almost all the time. When a whole entity was damaged, the best cell in the separated part would be chosen for differentiation before the rest of the cells supplies this cell with nutrients and energy. That’s why the mature clones that aren’t cut into too many pieces are stronger than the ones that are. It’s because those clones had absorbed more energy when the cells undewent differentiation.”

It was exactly as Cillin as said. These entities themselves might not realize that they possessed such a flaw. They were simply absorbing the crushed flesh pulp of its kind by instinct and assimilating them into themselves.

“What should we do then?” Cary scratched his head irritatedly.

They had no clue where to start fixing this problem. Meanwhile, the melee between the transformed humans and the Lovages grew more and more intense.

The little Lovages hadn’t gotten close to the battlefield without permission and operated outside the battlefield only. Whenever they saw some transformed humans that hadn’t fully regrown into a mature clone because they were cut into many tiny bits earlier, they would move forward and take a few bites.

But it was thanks to these gluttonous little Lovages that these flesh bits weren’t able to regrow into a full clone before they were eaten completely by the little Lovages. As a result, there were fewer clones compared to before.

When Snowball saw this scene from a far distance, it tilted its head sideways and looked to make sure that Cillin, Tang Qiuqiu and the others weren’t paying attention to itself. Then, it charged forwards and gulped down a transformed human that was differentiating into a whole entity at the outer ring of the battlefield.

“Come back, Snowball!” Tang Qiuqiu said urgently.

No matter how powerful Snowball’s adult form might be, it was just a fledgling right now. Neither his ability nor his mind were up to par. It would be one hell of an experience if it was struck by accident by a Lovage’s nipper, or stabbed by a transformed human’s claw.

Snowball was just a glutton who happened to see the little Lovages feeding and felt a bit of craving. It wasn’t completely unaware of the limit of its own abilities, and it was a tiny bit afraid of dying too. That was why the white fatso had ran back swiftly after it took a bite; chewing the meat in its mouth while it did so.

Cary and the others felt their mouths twitching at the sight. Fatso, the meat you’re eating is human flesh! It is still human flesh even if they’re now transformed! How dare you eat human flesh right before us!

The second Snowball went back, Tang Qiuqiu immediately pulled its ears and beat its fat butt with the barrel of her rifle repeatedly. Dias had taught her that disobedient kids must be spanked in the butt.

But the white fatso obviously paid Tang Qiuqiu’s fierce-looking but weak beating no heed. Plus it wasn’t afraid of pain, not to mention that Tang Qiuqiu was so physically weak that she couldn’t even pull a single hair off its body.

Snowball willingly presented its butt to Tang Qiuqiu to smack while it enjoyed the taste of the flesh inside its mouth.

“How does it taste?” The gray cat said with blinking eyes. It was obvious that it was going to taste the transformed humans itself the second Snowball answered ‘yes’.

“Hmm… *chewing sound*…” Snowball grinned after it swallowed the chewed meat, “It’s not bad.”

The gray cat took off and charged right into the battlefield to satisfy its belly.

Snowball looked at the gray cat’s departing figure and turned to look at Tang Qiuqiu with pitiful eyes. However, Tang Qiuqiu’s hold on Snowball’s ears hadn’t relaxed even a little.

There’s no use playing pity!

Cillin walked over while Snowball was showering Tang Qiuqiu with an aggrieved look.

Snowball wasn’t afraid of Tang Qiuqiu, Cary or Shawton, but it was afraid of Cillin for reasons it couldn’t understand itself. Although it wasn’t afraid to fool around and play with Cillin in the norm, it was afraid to face Cillin if it committed a mistake. Therefore, Snowball’s entire body froze when Cillin walked towards it. It immediately lowered its round head.

Cillin crouched down to his feet and looked at Snowball.

Snowball turned its head sideways.

Cillin grabbed Snowball’s head and turned it so that Snowball was facing him directly.

Snowball’s eyes moved sideways and avoided all eye contact with Cillin.

Whoosh!

Cillin’s wrist blade popped out.

Snowball shivered the moment it heard this sound, and it clutched its head with its thick, fat hands, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be greedy…”
