Huang Wen also couldn't explain to everyone why they needed to move to a location within 50 ters of the Genetic Store, so she simply invoked Yang Xiao, knowing that Yang Xiao now held high prestige in everyone's hearts.
So people followed Huang Wen's advice, but still, a third of the people did not heed her, feeling there was no need to go through the trouble, as there was no food within fifty ters of the Genetic Store, so why bother moving back and forth?
Having heard Huang Wen, Xiao Zhe and Xu Hua rushed to see Yang Xiao.
"Yang Xiao, what exactly is going on? Why are you asking us to move near the Genetic Store?"
"Today is the sixth day of the catastrophe, and tomorrow will be the seventh day, which is the day that Gu Bo, the old man from the Genetic Store, said that Earth's creatures will complete their genetic mutations. There's sothing eerie about the fog today, and I'm worried that sothing unexpected might happen tomorrow. It's better to have everyone close together so we can join forces in defense if an unexpected event occurs, right? Like yesterday's Black Dog."
Xiao Zhe nodded after listening, what Yang Xiao said made sense. In the face of a great disaster, their strength was inherently weak, and joining forces against the Mutated Creatures might be the way to survive.
"Additionally, I also heard from Gu Bo that Mutated Creatures do not dare to attack within fifty ters of the Genetic Store, which is a temporary safe haven for us humans. Alas, I was worried that with over a thousand people squeezing together, it would be too crowded, so I didn't ntion it. But I might as well do good all the way, you spread my words, and those willing to listen can move here; those who don't, can do as they please."
Xiao Zhe and Xu Hua nodded upon hearing this, and imdiately went back to organize their teams to relocate, deliberately arranging their tents close to Yang Xiao and the others.
The whole afternoon was spent moving tents, with over a thousand people relocating within fifty ters of the Genetic Store. However, two to three hundred people still found it too crowded and did not take Yang Xiao's words seriously, staying put.
The blue fog grew denser and showed no sign of dispersing. By evening, visibility within the thick fog had reduced to just tens of ters, triggering fear in everyone's hearts, making them hesitant to wander outside.
Fortunately, that morning Yang Xiao had instructed Huang Wen and others to distribute the roasted dog at, along with roasted sweet potatoes and water, allowing anyone who was hungry to eat their own food rather than sharing a large communal al.
Had they stewed a pot of dog at, it probably would've driven everyone around crazy with hunger.
Yang Xiao hid in his tent, devouring his share of the dog at to the last bit, his body's electrical current persisted for about an hour before gradually fading away.
However, other than feeling an increase in his strength and a heightened sensitivity of his senses, he could not find any other changes to his outward appearance.
Of course, an increase in strength was also a good thing. His current strength was probably more than ten tis what it was before the mutation.
With over a thousand people gathered near the Genetic Store, the area was crowded with people, and Yang Xiao told Huang Wen and others to stay alert.
The fog continued to thicken by the evening.
Gu Bo ca out holding a basin-sized lamp that emitted an orange glow, handing it to a Samurai at the door. The Samurai accepted the lamp and, with a leap, flew to the roof of the Genetic Store.
The seemingly cumberso body of that Samurai moved with such ease that it was surprising, light as a bird.
The Samurai hung the lamp on a specially made pole on the roof, and the orange light instantly intensified.
The blue mist in the sky receded as it was illuminated by the orange glow, as if possessing sentience, automatically falling back.
The blue fog retreated one ter for every ter advanced by the orange light.
The orange light advanced one more ter, and the blue fog retreated another ter.
The blue fog retreated to fifty ters from the Genetic Store and stopped, and the orange light halted as well.
Those who witnessed this phenonon were all amazed, filled with curiosity about the strange blue fog.
Soon, the night engulfed the entire field, and everyone went to sleep one after another.
The next morning, a piercing scream split the sky.
Following that, several screams pierced the air, and everyone was suddenly awakened, scrambling out of their tents.
When everyone had made it out, they were all stunned.
Fifty ters away, the blue mist had grown so thick it was like a tangible curtain hanging down from the sky, isolating the camp from the outside world.
Everyone stared blankly at this bizarre apocalyptic scene; the entire field was dead silent.
"What do we do, boss?"
Huang Wen tugged on Yang Xiao's arm, her voice trembling.
"Everyone, stay calm and let's watch for changes."
It was at this mont that Gu Bo's aged voice ca from the Genetic Store behind them.
"Fellow survivors of Earth, today marks the seventh day of the catastrophic change. Besides humans, the majority of life forms have already completed their first phase of mutation. From now on, the thick fog outside may hide various Mutated Creatures, and they are full of aggressiveness."
Everyone turned to Gu Bo's voice and saw him standing on the rooftop of the Genetic Store, bathed in the orange light, looking like a deity.
Yang Xiao knew that Gu Bo and the Genetic Store were their hope for survival.
The crowd silently watched Gu Bo, listening to him continue explaining.
"Within 50 ters of the Genetic Store, Mutated Creatures dare not invade. However, if you want to survive, you will need to venture into the fog to kill these Mutated Creatures.
The Mutated Creatures you kill will be your source of food, and so of the killed Mutated Creatures will drop Genetic Fragnts. So Mutated Creatures might even drop Weapons.
You can sell the Genetic Fragnts and dropped Weapons; for every ten Genetic Fragnts, I will synthesize a Genetic Potion for you. Drinking the Genetic Potion will enhance your Genetic Power, making you braver and stronger.
Of course, from now on, these Mutated Creatures are not sothing ordinary people can deal with. Even a mutated ant could kill you. Only those among you who have undergone physical mutations and possess Superpowers stand a chance against these Mutated Creatures. Therefore, before you venture into the fog, I advise you to be cautious.
As for Weapons dropped by the Mutated Creatures you kill, you can use them yourself, or you can sell the excess to .
Another very important thing: the more Genetic Fragnts you trade with , the further the light on my rooftop can shine. Eventually, this place will beco a small base that can accommodate your survival and developnt..."
Gu Bo spoke intermittently for over half an hour, and many were left in a daze, especially the girls, who were all in a state of panic.
If the previous sudden collapse of buildings and the destruction of the campus weren't enough to make everyone feel the end of the world, then this ti, the terrifying scene of being enveloped in the strange blue fog truly made everyone feel the real apocalypse.
After Gu Bo finished speaking, he floated down from the rooftop and walked into the Genetic Store.
The surrounding thousand-plus students were still sowhat dazed, and monts later, a girl burst into tears, followed by a wave of cries and wails.
Huang Wen, Chen Fei, Chen Lu, Feifei, and about thirty other girls looked at Yang Xiao.
"Don't cry, please. I can't handle it!"
Yang Xiao said.
"But boss, is it really the end of the world?"
Chen Fei asked.
