Chapter 278
Inside the Northern Settlement.
Cao Yuan came up from underground with Lü Xiangyang, Lü Chaoyang, and several other senior figures specifically to welcome the Marauder Convoy.
The Marauder Convoy was undeniably a powerful force. They might have been a convoy, but they had survived ever since the world of Aberrations first emerged.
In terms of strength, they had long since outgrown the lowly status of an ordinary convoy.
This time, Cao Yuan's group had taken the initiative to contact the Marauder Convoy.
Their goal was simple.
A trade!
Cao Yuan needed more people as food, as well as the corpses of Aberration Creatures. There was no turning back from the path they had chosen. They had to follow it to the bitter end.
The people in the Northern Settlement were clearly nowhere near enough. They needed more people and more Aberration Creature corpses.
Everyone aboveground was food.
After taking power, Cao Yuan had even ordered everyone to stay home, with only one goal in mind!
Have babies!
Every household had to leave its door open. The women had to wait at home, while the men could wander wherever they pleased.
Once a woman became pregnant, everyone who had slept with her could become a Transcendent!
That was right.
The "Transcendents" she spoke of were Aberration Symbiotes.
In Cao Yuan's eyes, Aberration Symbiotes were the same sort of beings as Sequence Transcendents.
The only difference was that they had no Sequence.
But what ordinary person wouldn't want to become a Transcendent?
Even a powerful Sequence Transcendent like Lü Xiangyang had chosen this path. Clearly, she had made no mistake. Their path was the one truly suited to humanity.
Even so, Cao Yuan still felt it was too slow. Having children took time. They needed more people to come here.
