Doomsday: I Can Get a Hint

Chapter 450 - 274: Secrets

He slept until the break of dawn.

Wang Hao climbed out of bed, feeling extremely refreshed.

"Brother, you’re awake?"

Xiaoyueyue blinked her eyes, looking at him.

"Awake! Is Yueyue hungry? Order some food to eat."

Wang Hao picked up the tablet by the bedside, ordered some food casually, and then got up to wash up.

"Master!"

Outside the room, the Black Mist Man stood silently. As Wang Hao just opened the door, he bowed respectfully, seeming even more respectful and reverent than before.

Did he sense the battle between me and the white-haired old man?

"How is it? What’s the situation outside now?"

Wang Hao, taking Xiaoyueyue with him, sat down at the dining table.

A variety of foods had already been laid out on the table.

"Want to sit down and eat together?"

He looked at the Black Mist Man who had followed him and asked tentatively.

Come to think of it, he hadn’t really eaten with this guy before.

He didn’t even know if this guy ate food.

"Yes!"

The Black Mist Man replied respectfully, not refusing.

Only now did Wang Hao learn that he also ate human food.

"Xu Xiang and the others have not returned yet; they’re still unloading supplies, along with the twins.

Through inquiries with the experts and searching through the materials they brought back, it’s basically confirmed that the Corpse Poison Serum has been successfully developed.

However, there are some side effects, and they are conducting experiments and improvements."

The Black Mist Man said as he ate.

"Oh? Can this Corpse Poison Serum cure those zombies outside?"

Wang Hao asked with some anticipation.

"No! The serum can only be injected before the transformation into a zombie, as it can quickly neutralize the corpse poison. Once transformed, the corpse poison will have caused irreversible damage to the body.

The monsters’ bodies also continuously produce corpse poison, so injecting the serum is useless."

The Black Mist Man’s words dashed Wang Hao’s hopes.

It’s just like poison; if you’re poisoned, taking the antidote before it fully kicks in will prevent harm.

But if the poison damages your organs or even kills you, then taking more antidotes won’t help.

"That’s still pretty good."

Wang Hao did not feel too disappointed.

This could still save a lot of people.

And wasn’t this just the beginning?

How long has the apocalypse been underway?

The Corpse Poison Serum has just been developed, so perhaps with continued research, it might not be impossible to fully recover those monsters in the future.

"By the way, you’re from the Demon Realm, right? Do you have an antidote for corpse poison over there?"

It seemed like Wang Hao suddenly thought of something, and he looked at the Black Mist Man.

This guy seems to be part of the Demon Race!

Those monsters are also native to the Demon Realm.

They’ve dealt with monsters for countless years, so they should be very knowledgeable about them.

"No! Those monsters are the original inhabitants of the Demon Realm, and the true overlords of the Demon Realm."

After hesitating for a moment, the Black Mist Man said:

"When our ancestors of the Demon Race arrived, these dreadful death creatures were everywhere, and all living things there had basically been devoured by them.

These filthy bugs are individually not very powerful, but their numbers are just overwhelming."

"What do they eat?"

Wang Hao was a little puzzled.

These monsters couldn’t be eating the Demon Race, could they?

"These death creatures, though eternally in a state of hunger and instinctively eating, are already dead, so they won’t die from not eating.

They can absorb the Spiritual Qi in the air to maintain their functions, and over time, they evolve! If they consume living creatures, it greatly enhances their evolution speed."

The Black Mist Man seemed filled with disgust towards these death creatures.

Wang Hao: ...

Looks like the idea of starving these bastards to death is shattered again.

But then again, isn’t that exactly what’s happening with those monsters on Purple Gold Mountain?

Wang Hao opened his mouth, wanting to ask something more, but the Black Mist Man stood up and said:

"Master, I am full."

Then he withdrew.

Clearly, he didn’t want to reveal too much about the Demon Realm.

Wang Hao didn’t want to press him either.

Knowing, what difference would it make?

It would just satisfy some curiosity.

"Brother, why does the Demon Realm so persistently want to invade and occupy our side?"

Xiaoyueyue, who was busily eating, suddenly raised her head and asked this question.

In Wang Hao’s peripheral vision, he saw the Black Mist Man’s body tremble slightly.

"Of course it’s..."

Wang Hao was stunned.

Yes!

Why does the Demon Realm repeatedly try to invade Earth?

If not for those monsters, they would actually be the beneficiaries here.

With the influx of Spiritual Qi, all things are revived.

The Spiritual Qi on their side had long since run dry; comparing their land to farmland, the Demon Realm is fertile and watered land, while their side is like a desert!

Why fight so hard to come over?

Now, their homes are almost all destroyed, overrun with monsters, only various settlement camps are barely holding on, probably worse than they are here.

To gain some opportunities revived through Spiritual Power?

That might be part of the reason, but it’s definitely not the main one.

The Demon Race is not Cultivators.

Even if you give them cultivators’ opportunities, most of them can’t use them.

They even brought cultivators’ items, seemingly trying to make deals.

Wang Hao couldn’t help but glance at the not-so-distant Black Mist Man.

The Black Mist Man’s body shook noticeably again.

"This land is not as simple as you imagine."
