Ninth class citizen

Chapter 173 Mutational Crystal Corrosion

There was only a metal chair in the empty alloy house. The woman sat on it and closed her eyes.

A milky white light shone down from above, enveloping her.

In just half a minute, the light disappeared.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Carly." The electronic voice echoed in the room: "Your mutant crystal erosion disease has progressed to the fourth stage. All previous treatments have failed."

Mrs. Carly was not surprised by this result.

"In addition to the routine checkup, I also want to ask: How is the progress of the mutant gene disease research project that I signed up for two months ago - the one that has a certain probability of obtaining a special treatment drug?"

"We are checking for you. I'm sorry, Mrs. Carly. Participants in this program must be seventh-class citizens who live on Tuvak. As an eighth-class citizen who has only obtained temporary residence, you have not passed the qualification review after registration."

Mrs. Carly hung her head in disappointment.

"So, how much time do I have left?" Her voice was a little hoarse.

"Based on your various indicators and physical fitness, if you cannot obtain the special medicine for the second-level C-series mutant genetic disease, your death will come within 25 to 30 federal days - provided that you remain emotionally stable."

"If there are extreme mood swings, whether it's anger or emotional sadness, the disease can quickly enter a terminal stage."

"Please take good care of yourself and try to eat soothing natural foods, such as the specialties of Fengshui Star, such as Yanshu rice and red beans, and the appropriate combination of them with Bailang honey from Fanna Star, which can help to prolong your life."

"In the meantime, please continue to actively search for special medicine for the second-order C-series mutant genetic disease, and don't give up your life until the last moment."

The electronic sound was still chattering, but Mrs. Carly had already left the room.

An hour later, she entered Block 526 in Anping City.

Block 526 is the most chaotic block in Anping City. The residents are all illegal immigrants and vagrants. Various crimes occur every day. Even the few patrolling police robots were violently destroyed a long time ago.

I don't know if it's because of insufficient funds to repurchase it, or because the relevant departments are happy to see the chaos on 526 Street, but in any case, there has been no order here since the day Mrs. Carly moved in.

But fortunately, she still has a son who is famous.

Before Fenrir left, he arranged for someone to take care of her.

Even though she had to move here due to an accident, that person still helped her put in touch with others, so no one has bothered her in the past two months.

"Mrs. Carly?" A sturdy man stood at the entrance of the corridor and blocked her way: "You owe me the rent, so it's time to pay it back, right?"

Mrs. Carly recognized the man.

"Cooper, I told you last time that when Fenrir comes back, I will definitely pay you back what I owe you, with interest."

"You've said this eight or ten times." Cooper, a sturdy man, crossed his arms and leaned against the alloy wall.
"I don't know any Fenrir. I didn't bother with you before because I was giving face to Hu En - but it's different now."

"Now, what's the problem?" Mrs. Carly's heart suddenly tightened.

"Don't you know? Hu En is dead." Cooper looked at her with a sneer. "The Black Monument Reclamation Group he was in had a conflict with others outside. All the good guys in the group were killed. Naturally, there are plenty of people who want to grab the remaining territory."

Mrs. Carly felt dizzy and her head was buzzing.

She didn't care about anything else, she rushed forward and grabbed Cooper by the collar: "Who did you say was dead just now? Say it again!"

Cooper pushed her out and brushed his collar in disgust: "Crazy woman, what's your relationship with Huon? Why are you so anxious about his death?" Mrs. Carly hit the alloy wall heavily, climbed up trembling, blood flowing down the wound on her forehead.

The crystallized scar on the side of the ear cracked and a dark red lens turned out from under the skin, quickly expanding from the size of a Cowan coin to the shape of a chicken egg.

Her eyes turned red due to congestion, and she looked a little scary.

Cooper certainly would not feel afraid when facing an injured sick woman.

"I understand." He sneered, "You want to ask about your son, the legendary and extremely rare gravity-related extraordinary person?"

"Yes, it is him. Please tell me, what happened to him?"

"What I heard is that the Black Monument Reclamation Group was so bold that they stole the prey of the Dead Anchor Reclamation Group. That was a high-level reclamation group, and it was entirely their own fault that they were wiped out." Cooper shrugged.

He strode forward, grabbed Mrs. Carly's short hair with his big hands, and forced her to raise her head and look at him through her blurry tearful eyes:
"Now, you should forget about that damn son and think carefully about how to pay back the debt you owe me."

His gaze fell on Mrs. Carly's slender and fair neck. He raised the corners of his lips in a sinister smile, and his other hand touched her collar.

Suddenly, he felt his body become extremely heavy, and he could no longer support himself with the strength of his legs alone.

His hands, too, hung heavily, and he couldn't even lift a finger, let alone do anything to Mrs. Carly.

The woman opposite him, who had been crying her heart out, suddenly burst into laughter and slowly floated up.

She was rising, floating behind him, into an open embrace, while he collapsed to the ground, still sinking.

"Crack, crack." The bones broke under the heavy load.

It hurts so much. Cooper wanted to scream, but the air in his lungs was squeezed out by gravity and he could no longer expand.

He lay on the ground, unable to lift his head, and just kept his eyes open in vain, watching the two pairs of shoes gradually moving away.

"Pop, pop!" It was the sound of an eyeball exploding. The world was plunged into darkness.

"You're still here, you're still alive." There were still tears in the corners of Mrs. Carly's eyes, mixed with the blood flowing from her forehead, but the expression on her face was extremely happy.

She held Fenrir's hand tightly, fearing that he would disappear if she let go.

Fenrir's expression was serious: "Mom, we must leave Tuvak immediately."

"Could it be that what Cooper said just now is true?" Mrs. Carly was instantly alert.

"Yes. They are all dead, and the 'Dead Anchor' still won't let me go."

"How about I go with you and apologize to them." Mrs. Carly said, "You are a rare person with extraordinary gravity abilities. They should be willing to keep you."

"Impossible." Fenrir clenched his fists. "We have discovered their secret - no matter how much we kowtow, they will not leave anyone alive."

"Then don't worry about me and go away!" Mrs. Carly tried to push him away.

Unfortunately, her body was too weak and she couldn't do anything to Fenrir.

During the shove, the latter noticed the large crystallized scar on her face and his heart sank.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
