I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 849 - 939: This Is Absolutely Ridiculous!

"Hmm? Did you discover something good again?" Jing Shu rubbed her hands together, walked over, and asked, "Zhang Lang, what did you find? Are you going to show me some treasure?"

Zhang Lang didn’t know why but seeing the captain like this reminded him of that line from a movie: "Come on, I’ll show you a big treasure."

Shaking his head vigorously, Zhang Lang flipped over the bodies hidden beneath the clothes, then solemnly said:

"Captain, without a doubt, all these people aren’t ordinary. They’re mutated New Humans. Look at their bodies; these strange organs and half a body turned into a top, and even this one growing some weird plants."

Jing Shu looked at these strangely evolved humans; instead of feeling afraid, she seemed like she’d discovered a valuable treasure, excitedly moving forward to inspect them:

"Wow, this one’s only a level 3 mutation, not quite a New Human, maybe just half, worth only about 500 Merit.

This one is not bad, a level 1 mutation, with half the body no longer human; this one’s at least worth 5,000 Merit.

Tsk tsk, this one’s impressive, probably a strength-type New Human. Look at this giant form; it’s got to be at least an S-level, right? This one’s worth at least 20,000 Merit. Zhang Lang, you’ve done well, you’ve really found some big treasure. This time... we’re really going to strike it rich!!"

"Huh?... Oh." Zhang Lang’s antennae twitched; indeed, the captain had a different focus than he did. He continued, "But Captain, my point is, is it really okay that so many New Humans are dead like this? And us, we somehow got a whole boatload of New Humans, we might be in deep trouble, you see, killing so many New Humans, won’t the forces behind them go mad?"

Seeing Jing Shu blink her eyes, not getting his point, Zhang Lang got anxious, "Think about it, these New Humans are worth a fortune, right? Now, switch perspectives for a moment. If someone killed me, or killed you, wouldn’t the forces behind us go mad? To sum it up, we’re in big trouble, if before they just wanted benefits, they might hesitate to use big weapons, but now, they’ll probably not care at all."

Jing Shu understood, as the protectee, Zhang Lang always had a more conservative mindset, and that was his first thought.

"Don’t worry." Jing Shu patted Zhang Lang and then blinked her eyes, "No one knows it was us who did it; they only know it was done by the organization above us. The anger will only be directed at the organization. Relax, if the sky falls, there’s a tall one to hold it up; we’ve got the organization to back us up."

"Uh... Makes sense. We do the killing, let the organization take the blame. After all, they’re already dead, and we’ve got the benefits; it sort of makes sense."

"What do you mean ’makes sense’ to let the organization take the blame? What are you talking about?! What good thing have you done this time?"

At that moment, a voice suddenly called out coldly.

In the dark, a Youlin Submarine appeared on the sea surface at some point, and at this time, on the deck, Code Seven asked with a face like frost.

Before Jing Shu and the others could speak, Code Seven, finally finding Jing Shu’s group, started scolding them like a parent finally finding a lost and playful child:

"Do you know what you’re doing right now? Why did you turn off the communicator? Everyone else is out there fighting pirates, what are you doing? Are you on vacation, leisurely running onto someone else’s ferry?

And speaking of recent news, reliable sources say the opposing side deployed a whole ship of Power Users to deal with us.

A whole ship! At least a few hundred Power Users, such a strong force, even our official ships would have trouble, and it would take the whole elite team to respond!

You dare to run around outside? The entire fleet’s elite team is frantically searching for this ship of Power Users, whoever finds it is going to get a big merit!"

Zhang Lang stood up straight and saluted, "Reporting, sir! They deployed a total of 243 Power Users! It’s not as exaggerated as you said!"

Code Seven frowned, "How do you know so clearly? Did you meet them and then make things up?"

Jing Shu raised her hand silently from the side, "Not only did they deploy 243 Power Users, but they also sent over 400 fully capable sailors and brought enough supplies for a thousand people to live for a week, as well as fuel."

"Hmm??" Code Seven sensed something was off, and when he calmed down from his anger, he noticed a mountain of corpses piled up on the ferry they were on.

These bodies were oddly shaped, not resembling humans.

"This, this is?" Code Seven’s eyes gradually widened, unable to believe what he saw.

Zhang Lang nodded.

Jing Shu nodded, then said, "Just as you see, this boat is their deployed Power Users and logistics team, and the reason we turned off communication was to poison this boat of pirates."

"I... you... he..." Code Seven’s tongue was at a loss for words, not reacting for quite some time. After digesting the information, he took a deep breath and only after hearing Jing Shu and Zhang Lang repeat it several times did he believe the fact.

Ridiculous, truly absurd.

The Power Users that the whole world was looking for, were inexplicably poisoned to death by Jing Shu’s small team?

No way?

This was a whole ship of Power Users!

They didn’t engage in any smoky battles, nor did either side confront each other, not even a single bullet was fired, and with just six people, they damn well poisoned a whole ship of them???

Code Seven felt it was as if the absurdity itself was opening the door to even more absurdity; it had reached its peak!!

Then he asked the question that was on his mind: "Did you know all along that this boat of Power Users was on this ferry?"

Jing Shu shrugged, "No, we only found out a minute before you did. Earlier, I merely gathered information that this was a pirate supply ship, thinking there was a lot of food we couldn’t waste. Also, fighting could easily damage this intact ferry, so we came on board to poison them."

Zhang Lang nodded wildly, "I’ll testify, I swear, we didn’t know either, and it was only when we poisoned them and sorted out the supplies that I realized this was a ship of Power Users."

Jing Shu also nodded, "So, we just coincidentally poisoned a ship of Power Users."

Code Seven’s mouth twitched; he didn’t know what to say at this point. So, it wasn’t just that the absurdity opened the door, but it brought along the whole family, and the absurdity was at their front door!
