Chapter 821 436: Activating Super Beating Mode 2

"Yo!"

Little White's deer face showed a human-like frustration. It felt like it couldn't endure anymore. These vegetables were too much, they actually hit a deer's face.

"Yo~"

Little White planned to use its super combat form, standing on two legs, ready to throw a set of military boxing at this cabbage.

But just as it stood up, a bunch of eggplants and tomatoes surrounded and ambushed it.

"..." Gu Shanhai was speechless at this scene. This is ridiculous, what's a deer doing standing on two legs? Its balance was completely off.

Super combat form? More like super getting-beaten form, isn't it?

Fortunately, Little White had thick skin and flesh; although these vegetables had vicious intent, they couldn't actually hurt Little White.

So Gu Shanhai was unconcerned.

"Yo! Yo!! Yo!!!"

Little White, getting beaten and running away at the same time, quickly shouted for Azure Dragon to come and chop the vegetables.

"These Spirit Plants seem to be getting stronger and stronger." Gu Shanhai also noticed that these chaotic derivatives within his body were becoming a disaster.

They were just a platter of vegetables here, but if even one escaped, it would definitely cause endless slaughter.

These things, although plants, are truly carnivorous and possess extremely powerful contamination. One could easily become an existence like the Dragon Tooth Daoist Soldiers, and their strength would continue to increase over time.

"Even bullying Little White, these vegetables... Well, it's purely because Little White hasn't been in a fight for too long."

Little White wasn't weak. Simply sharing a small portion of Gu Shanhai's vitality was enough to make it invincible among these vegetables.

Unfortunately, being a mount for too long made it adept at charging and trampling, which couldn't be utilized here.

Its purpose in killing vegetables is for dinner, and if it were to charge and trample, they would all turn into vegetable mush.

Gu Shanhai quickly shifted his attention from Little White. That guy's always like this, and thankfully, Gu Shanhai didn't demand great combat power from Little White, otherwise, he'd really have a myocardial infarction from being too pissed off.

As for sending it out for training, there's no need. He has never seen an Immortal sending their mount out to struggle against the world because of insufficient combat prowess, that's ridiculous.

With Azure Dragon stepping in, a bunch of vegetables were quickly hacked to pieces in a literal sense, and Azure Dragon's knife skills had to be said to almost rival Gu Shanhai's.

It's just that these chopped vegetables were still moving, which was a bit creepy.

"Do you cats not wash vegetables..." Gu Shanhai commented sarcastically, realizing these two were really carefree.

Those vegetables were just beating up Little White and running all over the place, and now they're not even being washed.

Little White also heard this, responded with a 'yo', indicating that eating dirt doesn't make you sick, and then went to cover up the chopped veggies.

These chopped vegetables weren't willing to remain idle, trying to crawl out of the basin; it was evident they weren't completely dead, sometimes growing peculiar limbs, seemingly attempting recovery.

"Alright then, I can't die from eating anyway." Gu Shanhai naturally didn't mind. These things in his stomach would become part of him, and Azure Dragon wasn't something normal either, unaffected. On the other hand, Little White, even with a gluttonous stomach, would have to tussle with it for a while.

Therefore, Gu Shanhai contemplated mixing some veggies with sashimi for dinner, ensuring whatever Little White eats will be the kind that moves, letting it understand what social peril means.

...

"Fosa, this support is a bit lacking this time." Elena looked at the supplies in hand, with a deep concern on her face.

The middle-aged man named Fosa also showed a dark expression: "Leader Elena, you know, all supplies are now controlled by those mechanical heads of the Ascension Empire. The supplies we receive were painstakingly saved by the willing ones."

Hearing this, Elena also felt helpless, knowing she shouldn't keep demanding. But as more people joined, and the strength of the Moon Star Resistance Army increased, the consumption of various resources was also rapidly rising.

As the leader of the Resistance Army, she had to be responsible for everyone.

Currently, she only had two ways to obtain supplies: robbing the Ascension Empire or relying on support from the willing ones.

The former was the primary method, but it was extremely dangerous. Every operation resulted in considerable casualties among the Moon Star Resistance Army, and they weren't always successful in their raids.

The latter was a supplementary method. Initially, they could obtain substantial resources, but as the attempts increased, those willing supporters were detected by the Ascension Empire's smart machines' big data for discrepancies and investigated. They could only reduce it bit by bit to avoid being exposed.

Elena wasn't someone who didn't know when enough was enough. She couldn't force these people to continue supplying the Moon Star Resistance Army. If they weren't discovered by the Ascension Empire, they would continuously receive all kinds of scarce resources, even if it was in small amounts. However, if that line were busted, it would be a heavy loss, scaring others from providing further assistance.

"The mechanical heads' supervision is just too strict. Every transport of medicines, sugar, salt, and other supplies makes us nervous."

"Furthermore, the mechanical heads have also started meddling in these industries, so merchants dare not continue in this business."

Fosa also explained the situation of those people he had hidden within the Ascension Empire.

Generally speaking, their lives were affluent, jobs were easy, and they occasionally received substantial pay. But sending supplies to the Star Moon Resistance Army was difficult. The big data surveillance made them feel unfree and severely infringed on their privacy rights.

"These merchants really have a keen sense." Hearing this, Elena was quite speechless but immediately refocused and continued: "But it's also for overthrowing the Ascension Empire. If they don't continue resisting, they'll lose even the last bit of their share, and eventually, the mechanical heads will take over everything."

"The mechanical heads have never cared about commercial activities. Stability is all they ever wanted!"

"They see the economy contracting; how can they still be so naive?"

Elena knew that the merchants' support for her Moon Star Resistance Army was a kind of investment. Of course, they might genuinely want the Ascension Empire to perish, but regardless of the reason, merchants had ways to protect themselves.

"Of course I know, Leader Elena, but you cannot resist the Ascension Empire." Fosa, being a merchant himself, spoke with an air of helplessness and pain. Making them earn less was like cutting flesh, let alone later asking for more.

The smart machines had guns and could kill them, and the economy wasn't really contracting but thriving.

Especially after the release of that virtual game called "Life", people didn't even need to work; they could earn generous rewards just by playing it every day.

The merchants moved their operations, investing all from the physical economy into the virtual economy. Not only did they not lose, but they also made a huge profit.

However, Fosa didn't dare say this out loud, as the declining support for the Moon Star Resistance Army was likely because of the "Life" game. After all, merchants found a new business opportunity that required investment, naturally reducing investment in this riskier endeavor. The fact they didn't stop entirely was already quite good.

"I'll find a way to ensure the willing ones don't give up." Elena didn't have a better solution now, so she could only try to stabilize them with words.

Without tangible benefits, if she couldn't even promise big dreams, it would be too big a failure. As a prominent leader, not being able to do at least that would fail to lift the resistance army.

"I'll convey the message for Leader Elena. It's getting late, and I must leave soon, or else draw the attention of the mechanical heads, which wouldn't be good." Fosa could do nothing more than help convey messages and shuttle back and forth; he didn't have enough capability to provide more help.
