Chapter 127 "The Monster Industry"

After a brief exchange, the Spark and K-78 teams stopped and rested near the super defense line.

This magnificent super defensive line stands like a clear dividing line on the desert continent.

To the north, the scene is one of utter chaos.

To the south, everything is well-ordered.

The Mo people not only relied on the super defense line to actively prepare for a counterattack, but also began large-scale infrastructure construction.

Thanks to its powerful industrial production capacity, towns and cities sprang up in the south, canals were dug, irrigation canals crisscrossed, and the land on both banks gradually turned green.

Roads, cities, supply stations, fields... the Mo people began to build their new homes.

What surprised Li Xin the most was that the Mo tribe civilization had actually developed a "monster industry".

In fact, this industry chain has been developed for a long time.

While monsters have brought unimaginable destruction to the world, they are also full of treasures:

After being cut, polished, and heat-treated, the shells and scales are even better than those of smelted alloys.

The bone structure is harder and lighter, and after cleaning and processing, it can be used as a component metal.

Tendons have greater toughness and strength, making them suitable as reinforcing fibers in transmission cables, traction ropes, and building materials.

It was only at this point that Li Xin learned something: the mechs used by the Mo Clan to fight the monsters were actually made from a lot of materials from the monsters themselves.

According to statistics from the frontline command, they have eliminated nearly 10 monsters in the south since the start of the war.

This is undoubtedly a rich treasure.

While busily building their new home, the Mo people also began disposing of the monsters' corpses on a large scale.

The tool they rely on is a kind of humanoid, half-vehicle mech called "Engineer".

This mecha has an eight-wheel drive heavy-duty chassis at the bottom, a humanoid upper body, and six mechanical arms equipped with engineering equipment such as plasma cutters, hydraulic shears, lifting hooks, and vacuum suction cups.

Out of curiosity, Li Xin also observed the entire process of the Mo people handling the matter.

Engineer mechs were in charge of the cutting, assisted by hundreds of Inkling workers. The former used plasma cutters to cleanly and efficiently sever the monster's limbs, hydraulic shears to cut tendons, and vacuum suction cups to hold in bone and flesh fragments.

The Mo people's workers followed closely behind, responsible for processing the severed limbs: removing the fat from the bones, sorting the flesh and blood according to part and color, while organs and glands were processed in a separate sealed workshop.

Several hours later, the monster's carcass was cleaned up.

This scene left him in awe.

Some monsters, because there wasn't enough time to deal with them, rotted away over time, leaving only a hollow torso and skeleton.

Even so, the Mo people did not let it go.

These ingenious octopus-men began a series of construction projects: they reinforced the monster's skeleton, built brick walls between the ribs, installed doors, windows and ventilation ducts, and transformed it into a huge residential building.

Halls, warehouses, bedrooms, balconies, workshops... everywhere you look, the entire monster skeleton is filled with ingenious architecture.

As for getting in and out, it wasn't as troublesome as one might imagine. After all, the Mo people are flexible arthropods, and they can usually climb up and down nimbly using their eight limbs.

Looking around, adults are working in the workshops, children are running in the suspended corridors made of ribs, and the elderly are sunbathing on the steps made of vertebrae.

The skeletons of the Mo people and monsters formed a strange yet harmonious scene.

Thinking about it carefully, it's really quite poignant. The monsters destroyed the Mo people's homeland when they were alive, leaving them homeless, but after they died, they became their new home.

Besides the "Southern Development" and the "Monster Industry," there are even more incredible sights that Li Xin finds unbelievable.

"Monsters are great! Long live the monsters!"

Along the roadside, a group of Mo people shouted enthusiastically.

They wore clothes printed with monsters and held up all sorts of signs in support of the monsters.

Li Xin watched this scene with disbelief.

"Mr. Li Xin, it all started from the beginning," Mick explained.

The arrival of the monsters not only brought about earth-shattering changes to the world inhabited by the Mo people, but also had a profound impact on their spiritual lives.

Some people believe that the appearance of the monsters is nature's revenge, after all, the Mo tribe civilization was so focused on development that it polluted the ocean, poisoned the land, and destroyed the ecological balance.

Some believe that monsters are the new world rulers who will succeed the Mo race civilization. They are far more powerful than the technologically advanced Mo race and deserve to take center stage on the world stage.

Some believe that the Inklings should learn to coexist with the monsters.

The largest group of people, however, worshipped the monster with unparalleled fanaticism.

In their eyes, the monster possessed such immense power and such a perfect form that it was simply a masterpiece designed by the Creator.

This group formed a monster cult, desperately advocating and worshipping monsters, and even going so far as to try to contact and communicate with them.

They gathered where the monster had fallen, prayed to the corpse, inscribed scriptures on the bones, and learned the monster's way of life.

The Monster Cult has grown larger and larger, and has even begun to carry out large-scale public activities. Their ideas have spread widely throughout civilization, and even some city fortresses have begun to support them.

"What a bunch of lunatics," Li Xin couldn't help but comment.

In his opinion, the higher-ups of the Mo Clan should have just used machine guns to mow down these lunatics and ended it all.

But as mentioned before, the electromagnetic interference covering the entire world has turned city fortresses into isolated islands.

This severely damaged the internal structure of the Mo civilization.

Various forces are also rising up wildly, trying to profit from the chaos.

As the saying goes, civilization is complex and profound, and every civilization in every world is different.

After speaking with Mick, Li Xin turned around and visited the high-ranking officers of the defense line.

"We humans don't harbor much malice; we just want to survive," he said. "I hope you'll be lenient when you encounter human mobile cities migrating south."

The executives couldn't help but exchange glances.

Their reactions to the arrival of human civilization from afar were complex and contradictory.

Overall, their attitude was relatively friendly.

After all, human civilization is quite powerful and can be won over as an ally to fight the monsters.

"Okay, I will do as you request." A senior executive nodded.

After expressing his gratitude, Li Xin raised his own questions.

For the Mo tribe civilization, the greatest threat was the two types of burrowing monsters: the "Earth Dragon" and the "Sand Whale".

The former can be dealt with by the eighth-generation mech "Digger", but what about the Sand Whale? This level 4 monster is so large that it can swallow an entire city fortress whole.

In response, the top brass of the defense line gave a simple and direct answer.

"Yes, we have absolutely no control over sand whales."

Li Xin was taken aback.

"What if a city fortress were attacked by a sand whale? Wouldn't that...?"

'

"There are always casualties in war," a high-ranking official replied succinctly.

Li Xin came to his senses.

Yes, from the perspective of the Mo Clan civilization, as long as they can win this war for the continent, the casualties caused by the Sand Whale are almost negligible.

From the perspective of the entire desert continent, the Mo Clan civilization possesses more than two thousand city fortresses, countless populations, resources, military strength, and mechs.

What do the casualties of a few city fortresses matter?

Ultimately, in war, human life is just an arithmetic problem.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in the distance.

That was a messenger mech that had traveled a long way.

The other party's warning lights flashed rapidly, as if they had brought some terrible news.

"This must be a mech specifically tasked with communication between the North and South; it must have brought news from headquarters!"

The high command of the defense line instantly became excited.

"Perhaps a large-scale war has already broken out in the north!"

However, the message brought by this messenger mech was completely unexpected.

The north has fallen completely, and the super fortress where the Supreme Command was located has been destroyed.

The monsters have gathered in large numbers and are about to head south.
