Chapter 943: Chapter 939: The Altered Mutant Virus
Xiao Tian deliberately joked, "I am a noble person, a pure person, a person free of low-level interests, a person beneficial to the people!"
Xiang Yiting didn’t get sidetracked by Xiao Tian, only showing a forced smile and shaking her head, saying, "You mentioned so many people in one breath, but none of them is yourself."
After speaking, she walked into the house.
Xiao Tian watched Xiang Yiting’s departing figure but didn’t call her back for further explanation.
The two met by chance in a foreign land and went through some experiences together. Perhaps the process was unforgettable, but afterward, they had to return to their respective lives, and it’s highly unlikely they would have any intersection again.
Xiao Tian also didn’t want his appearance to bring trouble to Xiang Yiting, disrupting her originally peaceful life, making her live in danger all the time.
After standing still for a moment, Xiao Tian also stepped toward the house.
Fujiwara Akita was already dead, so the house became ownerless. Plus, Xiao Tian had just helped the villagers through a difficult time, so naturally, he didn’t need to worry about any hidden dangers and could sleep soundly.
...
Late at night, just as Xiao Tian started to feel sleepy, he heard a faint sound of a door opening, followed by footsteps as a person walked into the small courtyard.
After thinking it over, Xiao Tian got up, put on his overcoat, and walked out the door.
As soon as he went out, he saw a tall figure with alluring curves, wrapped in an overcoat, standing in the small courtyard. Just by the back figure, it was unmistakably Adison Claire.
Xiao Tian slowly approached and stopped five meters away, asking softly, "Not sleeping at this late hour?"
Adison Claire didn’t turn around to look at Xiao Tian, as if she already knew he would come, replying, "Couldn’t sleep, so I came out to get some air."
"There’s something I must tell you..." Xiao Tian intended to tell Adison Claire about the Nether River Water, but was interrupted before he could finish.
"If what you want to say is about the Nether River Water, then it’s better to not say it now." Adison Claire turned around, her expression very serious. "At least for now, I don’t plan to restore my appearance."
Xiao Tian frowned, not understanding why Adison Claire would say such a thing.
Soon, Adison Claire explained on her own, "Perhaps after I avenge my family, only then can I completely let go of the past and embrace a new life."
Xiao Tian realized, "So that’s it."
Since Adison Claire herself didn’t intend to restore her appearance, Xiao Tian naturally respected her personal wishes and did not further explain about the Nether River Water.
Currently, there was a matter that had to be considered, which was how to return to Huaxia.
Now that Xiao Tian had changed his identity, he could certainly take the official route and buy a ticket to leave, but Adison Claire’s situation was more special.
According to his thinking, if he could quietly bring Adison Claire to Huaxia, avoiding the Water Drop Organization’s vigilance, it would naturally be the best situation.
As long as the Water Drop Organization remains unaware, dealing with them later would undoubtedly give an advantage, making many things relatively easier to handle.
At least regarding the Biochemical Beast aspect, there wouldn’t be a blind spot.
If normal channels aren’t an option, there’s only one path left—smuggling.
When Xiao Tian proposed his idea to Adison Claire, her response was straightforward: as long as she could leave, the method didn’t matter.
Moreover, avoiding the Water Drop Organization’s surveillance was precisely what Adison Claire hoped for, though she inevitably felt a bit worried.
Because unlike official routes, this method of smuggling carries certain risks, and Adison Claire was evidently prepared for this possibility.
After roughly finalizing the departure plan, Xiao Tian suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Wait a moment, I’ll get something."
Then, under Adison Claire’s watchful eyes, he dashed back into the house, and when he returned, he held a small rectangular glass bottle in his hand, containing the tea-colored biological creature with the mutation virus.
It was much smaller than before, and if not looked at carefully, it would be hard to recognize it.
Taking the glass bottle, Adison Claire examined it closely, barely recognizing the tea-colored creature, and exclaimed, "How did you get it?"
Xiao Tian didn’t hide anything and told Adison Claire how he accidentally defeated the mutated giant creature in an underground lab.
After hearing Xiao Tian’s words, Adison Claire felt a chill, accompanied by a frown, muttering to herself, "It seems the Water Drop Organization has modified the mutation virus."
"Modified?" Xiao Tian asked.
"Originally, the mutation virus I formulated only enlarged the carrier’s body, granting immense strength and some degree of independent thought to handle unexpected situations, without the issue of not knowing how to avoid attacks."
Adison Claire explained, "But according to what you said, these abilities seem to have been greatly enhanced. As for the wall-corrosive mucus and rubber-like flexibility, these weren’t added by me."
Hearing this, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but feel pessimistic. He clearly understood that Adison Claire’s words didn’t just indicate that her mutation virus had been modified.
But it meant the Water Drop Organization had completely decoded her work and improved upon it significantly.
In other words, the latest mutation virus developed by Adison Claire was now fully capable of being mass-produced by the Water Drop Organization, making creatures like the giant Biochemical Beast at any time.
This was, without a doubt, bad news for both Xiao Tian and Adison Claire.
After contemplating for a while, Adison Claire reassured, "Don’t worry too much, this mutation virus is different from before; it’s impossible to use it on humans, making finding mutation subjects less easy."
She continued, raising the glass bottle in her hand, "And this unknown biological creature presumably isn’t easy to find, so even if more giant creatures appear, they can’t be mass-produced."
Without needing to be told, Xiao Tian understood that if the Water Drop Organization could truly create giant Biochemical Beasts in large quantities, they would have long dominated the world!
Of course, even so, facing three or five of them wouldn’t be easy either.
Last time, Xiao Tian accidentally defeated the giant creature, but no specific strategy against it was figured out, only due to luck.
However, Xiao Tian couldn’t promise that he would always have such luck, or that good fortune would always be on his side.
