Learn one small skill every day

"I don't have 20 points... Looks like I can't watch that stuff."

Zhuo Xinzhi looked around in astonishment, wondering what kind of thing could deduct such a high level of mental energy just from a glance...

"To be on the safe side, you'd better get back on the spaceship. You won't be of much use for what I'm about to do."

This was not because Bai Miao was arrogant, but because Zhuo Xinzhi was indeed unable to demonstrate many of his abilities.

After all, Bai Miao knew very little about Zhuo Xinzhi and couldn't be said to trust him. Moreover, if Zhuo Xinzhi had accidentally seen the mountain of flesh, the man would have been gone.

Bai Miao also did not want the country to lose a valuable talent.

"Okay... I understand. I'll go back to the spaceship and wait for your good news."

After hearing this, Zhuo Xinzhi couldn't wait to get to a safe place, as he had a premonition that this place would soon turn into a battlefield.

“Graghgra…”

The closed grid emitted a harsh, screeching sound.

"Hurry! We've found it!"

Zhuo Xinzhi ran out of the metal mountain without looking back, closed the gate, and left everything inside to Bai Miao to handle.

The lattice door was clearly no match for the mountain of flesh; it was quickly dented and collapsed, and countless blood vessels crawled in through the cracks, covering the entire corridor.

If a person's blood vessels are 100,000 kilometers long, how long would the blood vessels of an entire civilization be?

Could we bring this civilization to the moon and cover all six sides of the metal grid inside?

Bai Miao's answer was yes, so he immediately pulled out his Holheim and fired a shot at the blood vessel on the ground.

"boom!"

Holheim blasted a deep crater in the ground; his weak blood vessels clearly couldn't withstand the power of the gun.

However, the number of blood vessels could not be cleared away simply by firepower, and before long, the blood vessels had invaded a position less than two squares away from Bai Miao.

Even the lattice door was smashed open, and a large amount of liquid flesh and blood squeezed in. Obsessed and crazed smiling faces stared at Bai Miao directly in front of him, and skinless arms dragged on the ground.

Bai Miao felt that his tolerance threshold had risen considerably, so he experimented with using the dissolving ability of melee weapons to quickly approach the Mountain of Flesh, slash once, and then retreat to a safe distance, trying his best to avoid being grabbed by the arms in the Mountain of Flesh.

This mountain of flesh was able to shatter the grid door; its strength far surpassed his own...

Bai Miao came to another conclusion.

Soon, Bai Miao saw that the dissolved flesh and blood had returned to their original form.

Kaguya's restoration effect has been triggered.

Holheim directly pulverized the flesh and blood, and the flames directly carbonized the flesh and blood. Even Kaguya's restoration effect must abide by the basic law of conservation of energy. She cannot create something from nothing, but she is fully capable of recovering from the melting of melee weapons.

"Absolutely not, there's no way to break through head-on."

After several attempts, Bai Miao confirmed that the possibility of a direct breakthrough was almost zero.

The main problem is that we currently lack large-scale firepower weapons.

Hmm? I think I got a lot of good stuff at the police station in Hadman last time...

Bai Miao looked at his prop bag, which contained a large number of grenades and automatic rifles.

The firepower is still a bit lacking.

Bai Miao didn't waste time testing the effects of these firepowers; instead, he started looking for the path to the second level.

Behind him was a network of blood vessels that stretched out like a mountain of flesh. Bai Miao could only move through the doors one by one, trying to buy as much time as possible.

"Kakakaka!"

Suddenly, the lattice doors above Bai Miao opened to the sides, and gravity seemed to disappear completely. Bai Miao easily jumped to another lattice, a hundred meters high.

We've reached the second floor.

Who is helping me?

Could it be that there are still normal people living in the Ulai civilization?

Thinking of this, Bai Miao shouted upwards, "I'm here to help you! Let me to the top floor! As long as we take Kaguya out of the mountain of flesh and awaken her, she can destroy this monster!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Miao heard the sound of layers of lattice doors opening above his head.

Sure enough, there was someone there, and they could control the opening of all the squares in all directions.

With the stranger's help, Bai Miao used the wall as a stepping stone and jumped several times to reach the top floor.

The mountain of flesh below was now pressed tightly against the inner wall, desperately squeezing inwards, and a small portion of it had already been inserted.

The top layer consists of only ten squares forming a circle, with the metal block encased in the center.

The wall on the other side opened, and Bai Miao saw a thin man looking at him with a wry smile.

"Looks like someone heard my message..."

The voice was exactly the same as the cry for help that Bai Miao had heard before.

"So it was you. How many of you haven't become that thing yet?"

"So you're... the Captain Noah that Lady Kaguya mentioned? My name is Valu... and I've been here for 5,493 years..."

"I am... Kaguya often mentions me?"

"Hmm... Lady Kaguya possesses the ability to heal all wounds, but she says that she actually records our physical condition when we are healthy, and then restores us to our original state. She led our Ulai civilization from the beginning of eating live fish to the stars and the sea, she is truly an amazing person. But she also often talks about a creator named Captain Noah, praising his achievements."

Valu sized up Bai Miao: "Where...are you from?"

"Tyra."

"Didn't you go to interstellar space?"

"That's not important. What I want to ask is, how many people are still alive here? And why have you been able to keep living?"

Bai Miao always felt that Valu didn't quite believe in his own abilities.

However, he doesn't need to believe it. What he needs to do is wake Kaguya up. If she doesn't wake up, it doesn't matter. He can just take her back and fix her later.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to find out how to eliminate communication interference.

"In the entire Ulai civilization... there are only about thirteen people who haven't yet integrated into the community. During the grand carnival day, we had to maintain the various functions of our home, so we didn't participate. By the time we finished our work, it had become a living hell..."

"You are dishonest."

Bai Miao directly confronted Holheim on Valu's head: "The transformation of this mountain of flesh is definitely not something that can be done overnight. Why don't you tell me the truth?"

“I…I’m telling the truth…On Carnival Day, some people tried to pull out their own blood vessels and intestines, and then they were amazed to find that they could put them back together, and then things just got out of control…”

Painful memories flickered in Valu's eyes; even after more than five thousand years, the events of that time were still vivid in his mind.

What is Carnival Day?

"We were trapped on the moon for a thousand years. During this time, thanks to Kaguya-sama's abilities, we could go without food or water and still have a breath left. We could recover from any serious injury or illness, so we could live forever."

Bai Miao raised an eyebrow; this sounded somewhat similar to what happened on the Endless Energy.

However, the Endless Energy ship does not have a recovery function.

"But these days are so boring. We can only spend our days in these monotonous metal grids. There is no way to go back. If we rashly go into the universe, we will only be swallowed by the gravitational black holes of stars."

"This damned anti-gravity technology has led all the scientists in our civilization to devote themselves to anti-gravity research, but they have forgotten what is most basic."

Bai Miao expressed his understanding.

"So how did you acquire anti-gravity technology in the first place?"

"Taken from the sea."

"..."

Well, it's a problem from a bygone era.

The artifacts retrieved from the deep sea were incredibly advanced.

The Ulai civilization spent a great deal of time understanding the principles of anti-gravity technology and replicating it, but neglected technological development in other areas.

“We were trapped and somewhat desperate. At first, simple physical pleasures were enough to keep us going, but eventually we tried everything and nothing could excite us anymore.”

"..."

"Until one day we decided to start a carnival day—to have a grand carnival with all the remaining resources of civilization, to eat and drink whatever we want, and to do whatever we want with whomever we like, any way or tool we want, as long as it doesn't cause fatal damage to the brain."

Bai Miao couldn't listen anymore; this was just too outrageous.

There's a limit to how much you can just give up...

"At the same time, we also decided that everyone would be put into a state of suspended animation after the carnival until an alien civilization awakens us."

Bai Miao didn't question them about why they hadn't entered a state of suspended animation sooner; they probably wouldn't have been willing to give up until their resources were completely exhausted.

"Then... there was this attempt made on Carnival Day... In fact, even without Carnival Day, it was only a matter of time before they did it... Every day we have people looking for new thrills."

"Lady Kaguya couldn't handle the recovery needs of so many people, so she became paralyzed and could only keep everyone's cells active. After that, everyone's flesh and blood began to intertwine and fuse, and they began to seek out new living people to devour. We ran faster and successfully reached the top floor and hid there... until now."

Chapter 131 A Variety of Methods

Through Valu's tearful account, Bai Miao learned the entire process of how the Ulai civilization had become what it is today.

Valu also took this opportunity to vent all the grief and indignation he had accumulated over thousands of years.

Finally, people from other civilizations could hear Ulai's voice.

"What about the rest?"

"The others... are in a state of suspended animation. We will take turns periodically to send out distress signals to the outside world. We rotate every hundred years, and this happens to be my hundred-year shift."

"Then you should cancel this communication. There's no need to ask for help from outside anymore."

Bai Miao hoped that Valu could successfully establish contact with the Endless Energy after he shut down the interference source.

But that mountain of flesh also seems to be able to interfere with radio channels.

"I've already shut it down. So... how do you plan to save us?"

"Wait a minute..."

Bai Miao told Valu not to rush and to maintain contact with the ship first.

"Hello? Emma, ​​can you hear me? Answer me, Kaguya's been frozen, how do I wake her up?"
