Fear of food

"You mean the Nightmare Clan outside are starting to follow India's example and begin annexing territories?"

Chen Qi was somewhat surprised when he learned of this from Peanut.

Unexpectedly, the Nightmare Clan in other countries has also begun to learn from the Nightmare Clan in India, and different races of Nightmare Clan can coexist peacefully.

But upon closer examination, the reasons behind this are actually quite reasonable.

Since Chen Qi severed the passage to the Nightmare Clan world, the biggest problem facing all Nightmare Clan-contaminated areas on Earth, which have lost the energy supply from the Nightmare Clan's mother nest, is how to achieve self-sufficiency.

Expanding the polluted area, escalating the pollution, and influencing the polluted population to produce more desires and energy are the three basic methods.

But this alone is still not enough to achieve a balance between the energy of desire. It should be noted that many places abroad are sparsely populated and have dispersed populations.

The larger the area covered by the contaminated zone, the more energy is required to maintain operation.

A contaminated area of ​​the same size can be crammed together with people in India, but in many other countries, people are scattered like pigeons defecating.

Therefore, in order to survive, the Nightmare Clan had no choice but to put aside their long-standing racial hatred and begin to cooperate.

Merging polluted areas can maximize the utilization of the energy of desire.

A food-fear contaminated area can also produce sleep desire and erotic energy, but food nightmares do not need these two types of energy, so they are often wasted.

After the contaminated areas are merged, all of this energy can be utilized without any waste.

Therefore, the fact that the three Nightmare Clans put aside their past grievances and began to cooperate can be attributed to mutual interests.

No matter how deep the racial hatred is, they are still all Nightmare Clan. Faced with the threat of another species, humans, they will still unite.

Just like on Earth, different countries, different races, and different beliefs also have all sorts of conflicts.

The war has never truly stopped.

But if aliens were to invade one day, all of humanity would still unite to fight against the enemy.

Besides merging contaminated areas, the Nightmare Clan overseas has taken many other actions.

For example, concentrating the population.

Control the scattered population and relocate them to densely populated areas.

The villagers all moved to the city, and the suburbs moved to the urban area, increasing population density and making the population more concentrated.

In this way, the Nightmare Clan can reduce the size of the contaminated area and decrease energy consumption.

Many parasites even go directly outside the contaminated area to capture people!
Since expanding the contaminated area is too slow and energy-consuming, why not just drag people into the contaminated area directly?

Clearly, under the pressure of the energy crisis, the Nightmare Clan has gone completely mad and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

The order in many foreign countries has also completely collapsed.

Fortunately, the domestic situation was not affected at all, thanks to Chen Qi's early expulsion of the Nightmare Clan.

On the other end of the phone, Peanut said, "Your trip to India this time caused quite a stir and made you famous internationally. Now many countries know about you."

"During this Nightmare Clan crisis, many countries are struggling to maintain order, and some have already asked our country for help, hoping that you can go there to help stabilize the situation."

Chen Qi laughed: "It seems that most countries are still mentally sound."

This is how a normal person would act. Forcing someone to leave like India did is definitely not a decision that a normal person would make.

Chen Qi said, "Then I'll pick a few people I'm on good terms with and go help them out."

Since he's going to continue going abroad to capture the Nightmare Clan anyway, it doesn't matter where he goes, so he might as well contribute to the country's diplomacy.

Peanut said, "There's one more thing. According to intelligence shared by other countries, the Nightmare Clan seems to be trying to reopen the passage to the Nightmare Clan's world."

The Nightmare Clan definitely wants to re-establish the passage to their own world.

When Feng Bin entered the Nightmare Clan's world, it was a complete accident and an unexpected event for them.

Because of Feng Bin's stable access, and because the Nightmare Clan immediately became engrossed in intense territorial battles and polluting development after arriving in the human world, they didn't spend much time studying the principles behind Feng Bin's entry into the Nightmare Clan.

Moreover, it is actually very difficult to replicate Feng Bin's entry into the Nightmare Clan's world. It requires meeting multiple stringent conditions, which the Nightmare Clan cannot figure out in a short time, so they are not in a hurry to spend their energy on it.

But now that Chen Qi has cut off the passage, they have no choice but to start their research all over again.

This is also what Chen Qi is worried about. If the Nightmare Clan finds a way to return to the Nightmare Clan World, then things will get complicated.

Chen Qi went to great lengths to capture so many Nightmare Clan members and send them back to the Nightmare Clan world. Once the passage reopens, those Nightmare Clan members might all escape.

"The Nightmare Clan needs to gather three elements to replicate Feng Bin's entry into the Nightmare Clan world."

"First, there are weak points like Spring Rain Street; second, there are top-tier ability users like Feng Bin; and third, desires have been fully released, and one has entered a sage mode."

"It is indeed not easy to meet these three conditions, but once you succeed, you can replicate it an unlimited number of times."

What Chen Qi needs to do now is to wipe out all the Nightmare Clan members in the world before they can develop this method.

All Nightmare Clan members must either be sent back to the Nightmare Clan world, killed, or imprisoned in his safe house.

Even so, it is not foolproof.

Even without the Nightmare Clan's attempts, there's no guarantee that a second Feng Bin might suddenly appear someday.

The world is so big, and there are so many people. In particular, some people's desires are protected by money and power and are not restrained at all. This will inevitably create weaknesses like those on Chunyu Street.

If we just wait for someone like Feng Bin, disaster will repeat itself.

All of Chen Qi's efforts will be in vain in an instant.

"Is there a better way?"

This is something Chen Qi has been thinking about recently.

However, he still has no clue.
-
After a brief rest in the country, Chen Qi went abroad again to capture the Nightmare Clan.

This time, he visited countries with which he had good relations, and they even asked him to come.

Therefore, upon Chen Qi's arrival, he received an unprecedented welcome and enjoyed the highest level of hospitality.

The Nightmare Clan's concentration of population and shrinking of the contaminated area actually provided convenience for Chen Qi.

It is more efficient to capture Nightmare Clan members, and you can capture three different types of Nightmare Clan members at once.

It's similar to when I was in India.

Over the next month, Chen Qi frequently flew to various countries and across continents, acting like a firefighter, rescuing friendly nations from dire straits.

During this process, he captured more and more Nightmare Clan members, and the total number has exceeded 10,000.

"If we work for another month, we'll have enough Nightmare Clan members."

However, the sudden news disrupted his plans. While Chen Qi was busy capturing members of the Nightmare Clan for the past month, the Nightmare Clan itself hadn't been idle either, continuing its vigorous expansion.

In particular, Chen Qi's large-scale and high-profile arrests could not be concealed at all, and the Nightmare Clan felt a sense of crisis to the extreme, frantically searching for a glimmer of hope.

Under such high pressure, the Nightmare Clan finally created its first third-stage contaminated zone!

They have taken another step beyond the limits of the original second stage of pollution, exploring even higher levels of pollution.

And this first three-stage contamination zone is located in India.

That makes perfect sense. If we're talking about where in the world the Nightmare Clan eats the most, it can only be India.

Then, the usually unruly third brother finally bowed his head and begged for help.

They requested Chen Qi's help in suppressing the pollution.

The third brother couldn't hold on any longer because the impact of this third phase of pollution was too great, and even the Brahmins of the third brother began to feel insecure.

"Can the third stage of pollution directly transform human souls into Nightmare beings?"

Upon hearing this news, Chen Qi also took it very seriously.

This is truly terrifying. Unlike the previous parasitism, Chen Qi can also extract the Nightmare Clan.

Can this direct conversion process be reversed?
Moreover, compared to parasitism, it skips the parasitic process and eliminates the worry of resistance from the host's consciousness. It directly transforms humans into Nightmare Clan members.

Even if one is fully conscious, what can one do?
Can a human betray their own species?
After being transformed, humans directly possess human bodies and can exert strength comparable to that of parasites, thus making up for the last weakness of the Nightmare Clan.

Chen Qi instantly made up his mind to destroy this third-stage contaminated zone!

We must nip any potential contaminated areas in the bud!

We must not allow this pollution to spread domestically.

Having already experienced the feeling of losing a loved one once, Chen Qi absolutely did not want to go through it a second time.

Therefore, he did not hold his brother's previous rudeness against him and rushed to India again as soon as possible.
-
The third phase of contamination is located in Gardida, India.

Chen Qi arrived quietly and immediately captured several local Nightmare Clan members to gather information.

After some friendly inquiries, Chen Qi finally gained a deeper understanding of the third stage of pollution.

To his relief, the third stage of pollution wasn't so overwhelming that it directly transformed the entire city into Nightmare Clan.

Their ability to transform humans into Nightmare Clan is also limited, requiring time and energy.

Moreover, it's easier to transform ordinary people than to transform those with special abilities.

However, one thing is certain: after humans are transformed into Nightmare Clan, these Nightmare Clan members can still produce desire energy just like humans!
It should be noted that the Nightmare race itself does not have the ability to produce desire energy, but these Nightmare races transformed from humans have broken this limitation.

Therefore, the current plan of the local Nightmare Clan is to transform the entire city into a Nightmare Clan!
After all, compared to humans, the Nightmare Clan is easier to control, more stable, and has stronger combat power.

Although this consumes a lot of energy, once the conversion is successful, these Nightmare Clan members can stably produce Desire Energy and will not lose out.

Moreover, it only converts ordinary people, which is fast and consumes relatively little energy.

In addition, the three local Nightmare, Nightmare of the Nightmare, and Nightmare of the Nightmare joined forces to share the burden of this task, which greatly reduced the pressure.

They not only planned it, they've already started doing it.

A large number of Indians have already been transformed into Nightmare Clan members, and Indians are being sent to the "transformation factory" every moment.

Chen Qi did not act rashly. According to the local Nightmare Clan members, after the pollution was upgraded, the strength of the Nightmare Clan's higher-ups also increased accordingly.

The Nightmare Clan's strongest generation, originally not even considered a threat by Chen Qi, has now become even stronger, so things are hard to say.

Chen Qi hid directly in the local dream layer, and then sent his Nightmare Clan employees outside to scout ahead.

A Nightmare Clan member was completely unsuspected in the contaminated zone, especially since Chen Qi had sent out a second-generation Nightmare Clan employee, who was considered a high-ranking member among the Nightmare Clan. No one dared to question him when he walked around outside.

Just recently, a large number of Nightmare Clan members from China migrated to India, so foreign faces aren't particularly noticeable here.

The Nightmare Clan employees made their way through the area as if it were empty, easily reaching the heart of the local Nightmare territory.

Chen Qi finally saw the Nightmare Clan's "transformation factory," which was actually just sending them to sleep near an S-level pollution source, where the transformation was completed in their sleep.

Of course, this is the transformation method of the Nightmare race; the other two races may have different methods.

Instead of rushing to destroy the "conversion factory," Chen Qi concealed himself further and made his way towards the Nightmare Clan's lair.

Approaching the core area of ​​the Nightmare Clan, the dream world and the interlayers were also inhabited by Nightmare Clan members. Fortunately, Chen Qi's strength easily overwhelmed them, and the safe house provided him with cover. He made his way through silently without being discovered.

Chen Qi's target is not a generation of Nightmare Clan members, nor a conversion factory, but the source of pollution!

The further escalation of pollution indicates that the original sources of pollution have also evolved.

Previously, Chen Qi was unable to improve his abilities by absorbing pollution sources because he could not find higher-level pollution sources.

But now, the third stage of pollution sources may be able to support Chen Qi's ability to continue to improve!
"If our abilities can undergo another qualitative change, we might be able to completely solve the Nightmare Clan's problem once and for all."

Just then, Chen Qi's Nightmare Clan employees were finally stopped.

Two second-generation Nightmare Clan members spoke in a language Chen Qi couldn't understand. After realizing they couldn't communicate, they switched to the Nightmare Clan's usual way of communicating and asked the Nightmare Clan employee about his identity.

Chen Qi let the Nightmare Clan employees deal with it casually, but they were also told they could not proceed any further.

The fact that two second-generation Nightmare Clan members were guarding the area like security guards told Chen Qi that he was close to the source of the contamination.

This is a steel plant, with the constant roar of machinery all around and a scorching heat in the air.

Chen Qi had his Nightmare Clan employees distract the two second-generation Nightmare Clan members, while he took the opportunity to sneak in.

Upon entering the factory, Chen Qi narrowed the safe house to an extremely small area, where he hid, achieving a similar effect to invisibility.

He looked around and saw a large number of first-generation Nightmare Clan parasites gathered around a large iron furnace.

Looking at the red-hot iron furnace, Chen Qi knew that was the source of the pollution!

The source of pollution in dreams often takes on a form that fits the local scene; it would be quite reasonable for it to be transformed into a large iron furnace in a steel mill.

This large iron stove and Chen Qi's amusement park safe house are certainly not a perfect match, but at this point there's not much to complain about, so we'll just make do.

Currently, there are only a handful of pollution sources in the world that reach this level, so we have to make do and there's no room for being picky.

Chen Qi bypassed several first-generation Nightmare Clan members and approached silently. The safe house expanded instantly, enveloping the large iron furnace.

Forced absorption!

This sudden turn of events startled the surrounding Nightmare Clan members, who rushed over to stop it.

Chen Qi, however, immediately sealed off the safe house, refusing them entry. (End of Chapter)
