954 Accumulation 2 (1/2)
”How are you!” Garen was stunned and instantly crouched down to hold onto her body. Her pulse was beating rapidly; her body was emitting a strong radiation contamination.
”Radiation…” She struggled to let out a weak voice.
Garen blanked out for a bit before turning towards her.
”Can you endure such a high radiation? I actually expected this day to come, but I didn't expect it to be this soon. Be careful! I will begin now.”
East Perrin nodded her head. She knew that no matter what happened, she would be reformed by Garen and became just like Fanny. Her life was in Garen's hands. Once the mutation broke out, she would lose herself entirely, but how much worse could this be compared to before? Like it or not, Garen would be the leader. There wasn't a single person who would not follow every single one of his commands. Without him, they would have been dead long ago.
Garen held his hand out and gently pressed it onto East Perrin's left breast. With a blue, soundless fleeting flash, it ended. She did not even feel a thing.
The Distorted Seed Parasitism swiftly entered the heart and became one whole with the myocardium straight away.
Within seconds, East Perrin's breathing slowed down, her heartbeat rate decreased rapidly. A vast amount of Cold Radiation radiated from her heart, which was taken as the center and towards every part of her body, swallowing the vicious radiation virus.
”Well… Good.” Just approximately ten seconds and she could speak already, ”There's still Sinno and the others. They might not be able to hold on much longer.”
”Alright, I'll go straight away!” Garen nodded, ”This move was supposed to be the last resort. I did not expect to use it this early.”
”Whether we're controlled or not, you're our leader anyway. So what's the difference before and after the reformation?” East Perrin sat up, not bothered by the fact that Garen could see her naked upper body. ”Go. We have long entrusted our fate to you.”
Garen sighed and stood up. East Perrin did save him once back then. However, he had a different attitude towards this girl and felt things differently when it came to her, just as if she was another Celine.
He could feel the heat of East Perrin's gaze on him. Turning around to avoid her gaze, he left the bedroom to get out of this place.
After stopping by a few other bedrooms, sure enough, Fanny was sound asleep, drooling everywhere while the others were showing various degrees of symptoms of the radiation disease that was worsening by the second.
Garen gave them the choice, the decision to reform.
Not surprisingly, nobody objected. During times like these, even the most selfish young men were filled with gratitude towards Garen.
Everyone had their hearts focused on Garen.
Batch after batch of Distorted Seeds, the radiation disease was finally wiped out. However, everyone had become the host of the Distorted Seed Parasitism including the two children. As long as they do not trigger the Distorted Seed, nothing would go wrong. Besides the ordinary, their immune system and physique were enhanced three times. Strong flakes of resistance appeared and their Willpower increased by three times as well. They all had become terrifying monsters who could just lose their sanity and go on a killing spree at any moment.
Garen had warned each and every one of them on the ways to activate the Distorted Seed. It was very simple -- just break down into utter despair and anger, then they would automatically activate the mutation and become killing machines. The other method was for Garen to activate the Distorted Seed's mutation manually.
Once the hidden problem was solved, the people under the mountains returned to their ordinary lives. Malone stopped coughing and was back to rearing fishes all day. Under Garen's command, a few lucky Big Wild Wolves brought back a mutated creature which was a type similar to sheep but had two heads instead. This was a mutation caused by the radiation. The two-headed sheep had stout horns, strong impact force when it ran, and an astonishing combat force. It managed to injure three Big Wild Wolves before it was brought back dead.
This enormous sheep was at least two hundred kilos heavy. Both of the children helped to skin it and air-dried a part of its meat so that it could be made into dried meat. Whereas the other part was given to Garen who used his Cold Radiation to freeze it before storing it temporarily. It was to be eaten in the future.
Yet, if it was before the reformation, it would have been worrisome to feed normal people with food which had undergone the Cold Radiation. However, they were now under Parasitism so it did not matter anymore. The Cold Radiation would actually benefit the hosts of Parasitism, causing them to feel more comfortable as if they had existed in an environment of their optimal temperature and humidity.
The Resonation Core Control that Garen made according to the control chip was completed by imitating the Crystal Derivator. Using condensed biological rubber, he made a transparent Rubber Ball Controller that seemed like a crystal ball. He named it The Black Sky to commemorate the Totem World's contribution towards the technical core of The Black Sky Research Organization.

East Perrin carefully marked a scratch on the wall. With this, she had kept track of how long they had been in the summit.
”This is our twelfth day here.”
In the basement, everyone was gathered there to listen to East Perrin speak, and that included Garen.
East Perrin was making a summary report of all aspects in this duration of time.
”After twelve days, our food supply should still be able to last us for another month. Whether if it's the frozen water which was made by Mr Garen beforehand or distilled water from the lake, we have sufficient water,” She paused, ”our biggest problem right now is that we are running out of energy batteries!”
”This is a problem I've been worrying about since earlier on as we didn't bring much energy batteries in the first place. The flying ship was stored with too many essential supplies, so we had no choice but to cut down our burden by reducing the energy batteries on board. Having such a problem now is unavoidable.” Malone nodded in agreement in his seat.
