Listening to Chu Mengxi's words, Mu Qingxue fell silent.
Zhu Hongyu, however, said, "Sister Mengxi, do you know that he killed quite a few of our human Super Martial Artists last night."
"That was only because those Super Martial Artists attacked him first, treating him like a monster."
Chu Mengxi said indifferently, "What's there to say about being killed after attacking someone?"
Her words left Zhu Hongyu speechless.
"I will protect humanity, but I will not be an enemy of Brother Black Dragon!"
At this moment, Meng Bao declared his stance. He was eating a mutation fruit, which made everyone else envious.
"What if he is an enemy of humanity?" Mu Qingxue asked Meng Bao.
"He's human, how can he be an enemy of humanity?"
Meng Bao let out a cold laugh and said, "I will only protect humanity, but I will absolutely not become a puppet of those in power among humans."
His words were very direct. He continued, "If Brother Black Dragon were to kill ordinary people, I would stop him even if I couldn't defeat him."
These words left Mu Qingxue speechless, her mouth agape.
"He killed General Lin's grandson, and General Lin will not let him go," Zhu Hongyu stated.
"That's his business, what does it have to do with you?"
Meng Bao swallowed the last bite of fruit in his hand and sneered, "I have no intention of getting involved in your human power struggles. If you humans disappoint me, I will unhesitatingly seek refuge with Brother Black Dragon."
Mu Qingxue was silent for a moment, then said, "It seems necessary to have a talk with him."
She then looked at Chu Mengxi and asked, "You should have his contact information, right?"
"Yes, I can give it to you," Chu Mengxi nodded.
Mu Qingxue said, "Good, let's head back to the shelter first. All of you, hurry up and absorb sunlight to cultivate."
After Gu Qijue and the others left and returned to the underground boxing ring, they organized all their supplies and then headed to Qingyun High School together.
The place was a mess and not suitable for long-term living.
Gu Qijue planned to make Qingyun High School a temporary base.
Why temporary?
Because his ultimate goal was Mu Qingxue's shelter.
Inside Qingyun High School, there were thirty-four survivors and over twenty Super Martial Artists.
However, they had lost eight on this trip, and now, including Ji Shang, only twelve remained.
Qingyun High School, which once had thousands of students, was now left with so few people.
The convoy arrived at Qingyun High School, and Gu Qijue took up residence in the principal's usual living quarters.
It was a three-story detached house. The first floor had the lobby and dining room, the second floor was for meetings, and the third floor was for living.
The school had a dedicated well, so there was still water.
The first thing Gu Qijue did upon arriving was to take a comfortable bath.
In the bathroom, Gu Qijue soaked in the cold water.
His lean physique had perfect muscle lines, and the Black Dragon tattoo on his chest was lifelike.
He was inspecting the mutation fruits they had obtained this time.
A total of one hundred and thirty-nine had been harvested.
They all floated in his Sea of Consciousness space above his brow.
"I never expected this Sea of Consciousness space could store things."
Gu Qijue had just been trying it out at the time, and when he discovered it could indeed store external objects, he was shocked.
After a cold bath, Gu Qijue changed into a black casual outfit, which Zhao Hu and the others had scavenged from a mall.
The supplies weren't just food; they also included daily necessities.
The principal of Qingyun High School was a woman, and everything in this room belonged to a woman.
Gu Qijue opened a drawer and even found a vibrator...
After drying his wet hair, Gu Qijue picked up his phone and checked the time.
It was 10:45 AM.
On WeChat, Chu Mengxi had sent a few messages, along with a request to add a friend.
Gu Qijue glanced at it and accepted Mu Qingxue's friend request.
He didn't chat with her, however, and instead pushed open the door to the second-floor conference room.
Present were Zhao Hu, Ji Shang, Wu Jiao, Deng Tian, Tang Huang, Li Si, Wu Hai, and Lu Hao – eight people.
Wu Hai and Lu Hao are Ji Shang's good brothers, both possessing Emperor Tier Super Martial.
Super Martial Tier division: Normal! Elite! Epic! King Tier! Emperor Tier! Saint Tier!
Corresponding mutated creatures: Normal! Calamity Seed! True Seed! Variant! Evil Seed! Catastrophe!
In the early stages, mutated creatures evolve faster.
"Boss!"
Seeing this, everyone stood up and shouted.
Gu Qijue had unified their way of addressing him.
The White Fox went to process the three mutation fruits it had swallowed internally. The energy contained within was too immense. Super Martial Artists didn't need to digest it; they could absorb it directly, but mutated creatures couldn't.
Gu Qijue had also swallowed six or seven at the time. As for why he didn't need time to digest and could absorb them directly, he had no idea.
Having swallowed six or seven mutation fruits, Gu Qijue was currently in the mid-Fourth Order. He felt he needed to swallow at least ten more to reach the late stage.
In the later stages, as the tier increased, the required quantity would likely multiply several times, or even tenfold.
Gu Qijue took his seat at the head of the table and said, "Sit down. Have the supplies and the number of survivors been tallied?"
"Everything has been tallied."
Wu Jiao picked up the notebook from the table and said, "We have 25 ordinary survivors in our underground boxing ring, and 34 ordinary survivors in the school, for a total of fifty-nine people. Including those of us present, there are twenty-three Super Martial Artists."
"Supplies like clothing total seven hundred and eighty-six pieces. Edible supplies can provide everyone here with three meals a day for about three months."
As she spoke, Wu Jiao placed the notebook in her hand in front of Gu Qijue.
Gu Qijue glanced at the notebook on the table, took out a cigarette, and lit it. "Are you all truly sincere in following me?"
"Absolutely loyal!!"
Everyone nodded heavily upon hearing this.
Perhaps some had been unconvinced before.
But after witnessing his power with their own eyes this morning, everyone was convinced from the bottom of their hearts.
Gu Qijue nodded slightly and said, "Since that's the case, you can take the mutation fruits now."
As he spoke, with a thought, thirty-one mutation fruits flew out from between his eyebrows and landed on the conference table.
Observing their eager gazes, Gu Qijue said calmly, "Eight of you will each take two, and the remaining fifteen Super Martial Artists will each take one. Not only can you take the mutation fruits to increase your Super Martial star rank, but you can also absorb the sun's rays. Spend this entire day cultivating diligently."
"Thanks, Boss!"
Upon hearing they would receive two each, everyone was overjoyed. They stood up and bowed to Gu Qijue in thanks.
"Arrange for a few Super Martial Artists to take turns patrolling. Don't let any mutated creatures from outside sneak in."
Gu Qijue got up from his seat and said, "I'm a bit tired after working all night. I'm going back to sleep for a while."
From hunting mutated creatures from around five or six in the evening yesterday until this morning, even someone as strong as Gu Qijue felt exhausted.
Zhao Hu nodded heavily and said, "Boss, please rest assured. We won't let a single mutated creature sneak in."
Everyone felt extremely fortunate to have encountered such an incredibly powerful boss like Gu Qijue.
Otherwise, these mutation fruits would have had nothing to do with them.
