Chapter 470 Never Waste
150 days after birth.
Buzz~!
With a not-so-grand humming sound that could be clearly heard by all living beings within a ten-kilometer radius, crimson light illuminated the earth.
"Finally it worked!"
Seeing this, Cangnian was quite pleased.
As expected, the Blood Pearl has now evolved to the fifth tier!
After dealing with Godzilla and taking all the benefits it left behind, Cangnian did not immediately leave with the elite troops of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom.
Instead, he organized these six hundred-plus evolved beings and evolved creatures to carry out a massive project!
The Edo Survivor Base, located in Fukushima City, was detonated that night by Godzilla accidentally detonating nuclear fuel that had been moved to the back of the base.
This is almost equivalent to enduring a nuclear explosion with a yield of ten million tons.
The terrifying shockwave generated a hurricane, and the deadly high-temperature airwaves spreading out from the nuclear explosion's epicenter at an alarming speed wiped out all life within a radius of several kilometers.
Even after the great battle ended, Kato Kengo was still unwilling to give up and wanted to find the surviving people of the Sakura Kingdom.
But the result was exceptionally cruel.
Not only did they not survive, but they didn't even leave behind a complete corpse.
The entire Edo survivor base has a radius of ten kilometers, which is several times larger than the Moriguchi survivor base.
However, the Edo survivor base had almost no high-rise buildings.
Because it is a new city built after the revival of spiritual energy, relying on a nuclear power plant, there are very few underground buildings. The sewage system, which is barely usable, is also somewhat inadequate.
After all, this is a metropolis with nearly ten million people. Before the spiritual energy revival, it would have taken decades to build and expand little by little.
In other words, after the spiritual energy revival, with the nourishment of spiritual energy, the strength of ordinary people has greatly increased, and evolved beings even possess superpowers with various functions.
Otherwise, building a city with a population of nearly ten million in just a few months would be pure fantasy.
However, due to limited resources, the primary requirement for establishing the Edo survivor base was simply to meet the most basic survival needs.
Therefore, apart from the fortresses needed to defend against threats from the ocean, the entire survivor base was extremely rudimentary.
Therefore, without adequate nuclear protection measures, survival would be completely impossible.
Within a 2.5-kilometer radius of the nuclear explosion's epicenter, all matter vaporized under the intense heat.
Within a 15-kilometer radius of the nuclear explosion's epicenter, the ruins of buildings were preserved, but they were just ruins and offered no protection to the people inside.
The surviving corpses were partially charred and carbonized, no longer recognizable as human.
The other group was a bit luckier, with only surface carbonization, but even so, the scorching heat wave, once inhaled into the lungs, could kill a person instantly.
In short, there were no survivors in this disaster; the entire Edo survivor base was reduced to scorched earth and turned into a dead zone.
Although this is a very sad thing, Cang Nian feels that some things should not be wasted.
Based on past experience, evolutionary factors should largely be constant and indestructible.
No matter what kind of destruction occurs, it cannot erase the evolutionary factors.
Therefore, even after suffering the devastation of a nuclear explosion, the corpses of those Japanese in this survivor base should still contain evolutionary factors.
Of course, Cangnian doesn't want to eat these evolutionary factors to promote evolution.
This is tantamount to cannibalism.
Therefore, Cangnian's idea was to let the Blood Pearl absorb these evolutionary factors.
Since blood pearls can absorb blood essence, thus allowing themselves to grow continuously.
The essence of evolutionary resources is evolutionary factors.
Therefore, in theory, blood pearls should also be able to directly absorb evolution factors.
However, once the corpse is completely cold and frozen solid, it can no longer extract the blood essence containing evolutionary factors.
After a simple trial, Cangnian verified this conjecture.
Among the corpses left behind by those who perished in the nuclear explosion, resembling black ash, there were indeed evolutionary factors.
In addition, blood pearls can indeed directly absorb evolutionary factors, thereby allowing themselves to evolve to a higher level.
Having determined these two points, Cangnian began to work with great enthusiasm.
He ordered a group of elite troops from the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom to search the entire Edo survivor base and collect all the corpses.
Next, just like we did a long time ago, we used a series of operations, such as soaking, settling, and separating, to extract the ash containing evolutionary factors.
As for those corpses that were not burned to ashes, they were burned again to ashes before the above steps were repeated.
The Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom had no objections to Cangnian's actions.
As long as it's not for eating, no one will mind.
Kato Kengo was extremely conflicted upon seeing Cangnian's actions.
On one hand, Cangnian saved the survivors of Jiuzhou Island, a debt of gratitude that must be repaid with one's life.
On the other hand, these were his compatriots, and Cang Nian's actions were, in any sense, a desecration of their corpses.
In other words, Kato Kengo was able to remain calm only because Cangnian did not directly consume these evolution factors.
However, Cangnian had anticipated this, so he asked Yichen and Yehan to relay the message and persuade Kato Kengo.
If these corpses are left here, it won't be long before evolved creatures come to rummage through and devour them.
The allure of higher-level evolutionary factors is extremely strong for lower-level evolved organisms.
In that case, even if Cangnian himself doesn't extract these evolutionary factors, he can still make full use of them without violating human nature.
These evolutionary factors will then return to the surrounding ecosystem through various means.
However, as humans, we most likely wouldn't eat these corpses.
That means that these evolutionary factors will eventually flow to the local evolving organisms.
Such a large-scale biological death could leave behind evolutionary factors that, if consumed by other organisms or even concentrated in the bodies of a few evolved organisms...
That will inevitably give rise to a group of powerful beings.
Even if they can't reach the size of a terrifying behemoth like Godzilla, it's too easy to create a batch of fourth-order evolved creatures.
A suitable number of evolved organisms are a resource for the humans in a region.
But for organisms that evolve beyond certain limits, that's a disaster.
If we don't collect and use these evolutionary resources, we're creating hidden dangers here.
Rather than letting the corpses of these Japanese people become nourishment for the evolving creatures that will ravage this place in the future, it's better to nip the threat in the bud.
Although this was a twisted logic made up by Cangnian, it contained some semblance of reasoning. Kato Kengo did not want to create a rift between himself and his benefactor, Cangnian, over this matter.
With this plausible excuse, Kato Kengo was able to deceive himself into accepting Cangnian's actions.
