Fear of food

Chapter 171 Nightmare Clan Release Experiment
"The most polluted area in India right now is their largest slum, Dharavi, where the pollution has entered the second stage."

Upon learning of this information, Chen Qi set off for the Dharavi slum.

He already had a general understanding of the Dharavi slum from the written materials.

This tiny area of ​​just two square kilometers is home to a million poor people!

Such a population density means that every nook and cranny, every crevice, is crammed with an Indian.

On average, 380 people live on one acre of land. What does that mean?

In a pig farm, you can't raise 380 pigs per acre.

At night, a dozen or so people often sleep in a dilapidated four-square-meter room.

According to official statistics, more than 1,400 people share one toilet here... Of course, they generally don't use the toilet.

There were no hospitals, few schools, and a dozen or so families shared a single water tap...

In addition, more than 80 percent of the city's garbage ends up in this slum, which is not only home to a million poor people, but also the largest waste recycling center in the area.

This was just a set of documents on paper, but it was already shocking. Although Chen Qi had prepared himself mentally, when he actually arrived here, he found that he was still too conservative.

He couldn't imagine what this place was like using his own thinking and experience.

Dirty, chaotic, and poor are the true characteristics of this place, but using only these three words to describe this slum feels too understated.

The air was filled with the smell of excrement and garbage; people with weak immune systems would get sick just from breathing in this air.

The ground was so dirty that there was nowhere to put your feet.

There are no surveillance cameras here, but there are eyes watching you everywhere.

"The Nightmare Clan is quite resilient; they can even survive in places like this." This was the first thought that popped into Chen Qi's mind.

He even thought that dropping a bomb to level the area would be killing two birds with one stone.

The reason the Indian government didn't do that is probably because the poor people there don't value a single mushroom bomb in their eyes.

Dharavi slum is like a piece of shit on India's face. Although they themselves don't care, it's embarrassing for others to see it.

Therefore, the Indian government has tried to improve the slums several times, but each time it has been halted for various reasons after only a preliminary step.

Later, as time went by, Dharavi slum gradually became the center of India's most prosperous city, and the surrounding property prices rose to tens of thousands per square meter.

This prime two-square-kilometer area in the slum is valued at a staggering six billion US dollars!

Seeing the potential profits, the Indian government finally took it seriously and restarted the slum redevelopment project, investing 20% ​​of the funds through open bidding.

As a result, because the foreign capital bid of over $800 million was more than $300 million higher than the bid from India's richest consortium, India directly announced the cancellation of the bid...

Later, the bidding was reopened, and the richest consortium won the bid with a bid of over six hundred million US dollars.

Then another dispute arose over land acquisition and demolition, with the local government planning to relocate the slum residents to the area's oldest and largest garbage dump...

Moving from a slum to a garbage dump means living conditions are even worse than before, and nobody would want that.

As a result of all the commotion, the slum improvement plan has been difficult to advance.

It can only be said that what happens in this bizarre country is often more fantastical than fiction.

What Chen Qi saw at this moment was a slum that had been corrupted by the combined forces of the three Nightmare Clans.

Even before the Nightmare Clan arrived, the pollution here was already severe. Now that the three Nightmare Clans have moved in together, the Dalavi slums have entered a state of utter chaos.

Although here, the three types of pollution are intertwined and all have entered the second stage.

But precisely because of this, the people in the slums were not completely turned into tools for producing desire and energy.

The reason is simple: normally, after entering the second stage of pollution, the contaminated population will mechanically repeat one thing.

Fear of food contamination led to widespread overeating.

Dreams are corrupted; everyone is now in eternal sleep.

Lust corrupts, everyone is at war.

However, in this way, the polluted population can only produce one kind of energy: desire.

Then the other two races would naturally disagree.

If everyone binges, producing only energy from hunger, then the Nightmare and Nightmare races will starve.
Similarly, if the entire slum is asleep, who would be eating or having sex?
Everyone's having sex, so who's going to eat or sleep?
Therefore, in order to achieve peaceful coexistence, the three Nightmare Clans could only agree not to interfere with the people in the slums, allowing them to live according to their original habits, which would also allow them to produce a large amount of desire energy normally.

Anyway, the population density here is high, and all three races can eat their fill, so there's no need to be so petty.

The slums are just a small part of a city. The city where the Dalavi slum is located has more than two thousand slums of all sizes. The three Nightmare Clans would be stuffed here.

Therefore, it entered the second stage of pollution early on, mainly because it had acquired too much energy and could not control it, so it had to upgrade.

The Nightmare Clan lived too comfortably on this land. The authorities didn't care, and the three brothers didn't resist. They even begged the Nightmare Clan to parasitize them.

As a result, the Nightmare Clan on this land lacked awareness of defense and had no sense of crisis, and were completely unprepared for Chen Qi's arrival.

Chen Qi decided to launch a surprise attack on the Nightmare's lair first.

He possesses the abilities of both the Pestilents and Dream Thieves, but he lacks the power of Nightmare, which may be his weakness; he might easily fall prey to Nightmare's spell.

To avoid a mishap, Chen Qi decides to first resolve the nightmare and challenge his own weakness.

As for the remaining Nightmare Eaters and Nightmares, they are not a concern.

Chen Qi's safe house could easily cover the entire Dharavi slum, but to avoid alerting the enemy, he only covered the area of ​​Nightmare's lair.

This lair is the source of the city's erotic pollution, and it is surrounded by a large number of nightmares for defense.

Inside the safe house, the haunted house was wide open, and dark ghostly figures flew out, among them were many Nightmare Clan employees from the amusement park.

Like locusts swarming across the land, they rushed toward the nightmare.

The bus started up and, ignoring the terrain, headed straight for the place with the most nightmares.

Those nightmares, who claimed to be on guard duty, were actually completely unprepared. In their haste to organize a resistance, they were nearly thrown out of their bodies by Chen Qi's "group absorption" technique.

Chen Qi did not forcibly devour them; he merely inhaled their essence, which made these parasites feel as if they were almost pulled out of their bodies.

One by one, they frantically tried to fight against this invisible suction force that seemed to come from nowhere, only to be either hit by a bus or overwhelmed by the ghostly figure.

However, just fifteen minutes later...

Chen Qi clapped his hands: "All done, that's a wrap."

The slums are not only densely populated, but also have a particularly high concentration of Nightmare Clan members.

In just one contaminated area, the nightmare's lair captured nearly a hundred nightmares!
Moreover, almost all of them are high-level Nightmare Clan members; low-level Nightmare Clan members are not worthy of living near the source of pollution. As for the source of pollution, he hasn't touched it yet.

Although he could devour the source of the Nightmare Clan's pollution, consuming it now would cause the city's lustful pollution to dissipate rapidly, thus alarming other Nightmare Clan members.

Without pausing for a moment, Chen Qi immediately charged towards the Nightmare Eater and Nightmare Lair in the slums...

In less than an hour, Chen Qi had wiped out the three high-ranking members of the Nightmare Clan in the slums.

Only then did he manage to eliminate all the sources of pollution from the three clans in one go.

Chen Qi has two methods to deal with the source of pollution: one is to consume it directly to replenish his own energy.

However, if he continues to consume more pollutants when he is already in good condition, it will not bring him any benefit.

The second method is to use a safe house to absorb the pollution source. This will not promote the upgrading of the safe house, but it will be converted into the energy reserve of the safe house.

The safe house consumes energy every moment to operate. So much equipment needs to be maintained, and so many employees need to be supported. Chen Qi now has a large and successful business.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that the number of Nightmare Clan employees in the safe houses will continue to increase in the future, and these employees also need to eat.

Therefore, Chen Qi still prioritizes feeding these sources of pollution to the safe house.

He didn't bother looking for any respawn points or morgues; he simply swallowed the three sources of contamination.

Once the three sources of pollution disappeared, the pollution in the entire city quickly subsided, and then Chen Qi discovered that there was actually no difference between the polluted and unpolluted areas.

At least in the slums of India, you can't see much difference.

Even if other countries are polluted, they are not as disgusting as India is normally.

However, even after the source of the pollution disappeared, the local Nightmare Clan could still clearly sense it.

Chen Qi wiped out the high-ranking members, leaving the lower-ranking Nightmare Clan leaderless and causing them to flee.

At this point, Chen Qi had no scruples and began a large-scale capture of the fleeing Nightmare Clan.

The safe house was expanded to its limit, covering the surrounding area. Once the Nightmare Clan was discovered, Chen Qi would not need to take action; his employees would control the various amusement facilities to capture the Nightmare Clan.

The manhunt continues, and more and more Nightmare Clan members are being captured and taken to safe houses.

When Chen Qi captured the parasites in India, he directly extracted the Nightmare Clan from their bodies and locked them in safe houses.

They did not imprison them along with their physical bodies, nor did they convert even a single parasitic employee.

In fact, converting a group of employees at this time can also improve the efficiency of the arrest.

But Chen Qi really couldn't stand the smell on his third brother; he could smell it from a great distance.

He didn't want his safe house to be contaminated by the Indians, filled with the smell of curry all day long.
-
From morning till night, Chen Qi worked tirelessly, flying over the city and constantly capturing the fleeing Nightmare Clan members.

He was unwilling to stop and rest because he knew the news would spread quickly.

Once the Nightmare Clan of the Indian Kingdom learns of his arrival, they will certainly take action. If they cannot deal with Chen Qi, they may very well flee.

Therefore, he must press on and capture more Nightmare Clan members.

In one day, Chen Qi destroyed two major polluted areas in India.

The contaminated areas in India are different from those in China. Each of their contaminated areas is a mixture of the three major Nightmare races, and the scale and number of people affected far exceed those of a single contaminated area in China.

Therefore, these two polluted areas are roughly equivalent to the six polluted areas domestic.

Chen Qi captured nearly a thousand Nightmare Clan members in total!
"I feel like India alone could meet my needs for the number of Nightmare Clan members."

Chen Qi estimated that in the end, he would need to capture 30,000 to 40,000 Nightmare Clan members and send them back to the Nightmare Clan world in order to maintain the normal operation of the world.

And the entire Indian Empire would be enough to gather that much.

However, after Chen Qi destroyed the two major contaminated areas, the Nightmare Clan in other areas immediately began to shrink their range, and many of them even went into hiding.

The Nightmare Clan dared not organize a counterattack against Chen Qi because they knew they couldn't win, but to Chen Qi's surprise, the Indian government actually had objections.

The embassy contacted Chen Qi, saying that the Indians were protesting Chen Qi's illegal entry, his misconduct on their territory, and his persecution of their citizens.

Chen Qi was dumbfounded. Your family is suffering from a nightmare disaster, and the entire country is about to be controlled by the Nightmare Clan, and you don't care. I'm here to help you catch some Nightmare Clan members, and I haven't even asked you for a fee. And you still have a problem with that?

If the Nightmare Clan hadn't become extinct in China, or if there weren't so many Nightmare Clan members in India, he wouldn't have been willing to come even if we paid him.

Chen Qi asked the embassy, ​​"What does our country mean? Do they want me to withdraw from India?"

The embassy official said nonchalantly, "The higher-ups mean you can do whatever you want. They can't do anything but protest."

So Chen Qi chose to ignore them.

After that, Chen Qi was not in a hurry to return to China, but he also did not go to destroy the sources of pollution in the various polluted areas.

He flew freely through various polluted areas, capturing any Nightmare Clan he saw, completely by chance, without deliberately searching for the source of pollution or targeting higher-level Nightmare Clan.

This only reduced the number of Nightmare Clan members in India, but had no impact on local pollution.

A week later, Chen Qi captured nearly three thousand Nightmare Clan members and finally returned home.
-
Upon returning to China, Chen Qixian traveled around the country to observe the pollution situation.

It was found that although there was an accumulation of desire energy, it was not particularly serious.

Compared to before, the rate at which desire energy accumulates has slowed down significantly.

"It seems that the 180 Nightmare Clan I sent in earlier did have some effect."

He then arrived at Spring Rain Street and entered the Nightmare Clan world through Monroe.

Chen Qi first observed the 180 Nightmare Clan members he had previously released and found that they were all surviving quite well.

The Nightmare Clan is similar to humans; they also prefer to live in groups. Each clan of 60 Nightmare Clan members stick together, producing and distributing resources together.

Because of their small numbers and abundant resources, the Nightmare Clan's world appears quite sparse, and there has been no conflict between the three races.

Seeing that this method worked, Chen Qi released more than 2,000 Nightmare Clan members out of the more than 3,000 Nightmare Clan members he had just captured.

As a result, the number of Nightmare Clan members in the entire Nightmare Clan world has exceeded two thousand five hundred!

Under Chen Qi's control, the three Nightmare Clan members were completely equal in both number and strength.

"Next, the Nightmare Clan release experiment will enter its second phase. We will observe for a period of time to see if any unexpected situations arise once the number of Nightmare Clan members increases."

As for Chen Qi himself, he still needs to continue going abroad to capture the Nightmare Clan.

More than two thousand Nightmare Clan members are still not enough.

But before Chen Qi could set off again, the Nightmare Clan overseas made another big move...
