Chapter 88: Symbiotic Blood Demon

According to Zheng Yi's own calculations, once a large number of Blood Bat Warriors are successfully cultivated, the combat power of the entire gathering place will rapidly expand at a rate of more than ten times, allowing for outward expansion.

The first target is to occupy the entire Luo City and seize more resources from the post-apocalyptic world. This will effectively contribute to the development of the gathering place and become Zheng Yi's right-hand man.

Both aspects complement each other, and for Zheng Yi, it is a good thing no matter which way you look at it.

...

"Have you heard? The gathering place has started recruiting volunteers. They say that with some breakthrough in technology, Integrated Union, one can become an esper. Is this true?!"

"Yes! This news was personally announced by the highest commander of the gathering place, and it has been announced more than once. The first batch is recruiting one hundred volunteers. In the future, if you want to try, you must provide one thousand contribution points to the gathering place. The opportunity is very rare!"

"Then I must become an esper. I'm going to sign up now."

"You better not! The required personnel must meet certain physical qualifications to be selected, and this experiment carries great risks. Only desperados dare to participate."

"Then I want to give it a try too. I've had enough of this miserable life. It's better to die early and be free. What if I become an esper?"

One piece of news completely ignited the entire gathering place, and conversations like this were happening everywhere in the gathering place.

With continuous development and construction, the gathering place now has a population of about thirty thousand, making it a relatively large gathering place.

The news directly transmitted from the upper echelons of the gathering place drove everyone crazy.

The opportunity to become an esper from an ordinary person is like reaching the heavens in one step.

In the post-apocalyptic world, ordinary people are disposable waste, and even if they survive, they are at the bottom of society, doing the most difficult work, eating the most unappetizing food, and living in the most dilapidated environment, barely surviving.

On the other hand, espers are esteemed guests in all factions, possessing extremely powerful abilities and considerable influence. They are at the top of the pyramid, looking down on the many commoners, wielding the power of life and death, and enjoying various other benefits.

It is not an exaggeration to say that espers and ordinary people are almost like two different worlds, and it is unlikely that they will ever have the opportunity to interact.

Now, there is such an opportunity to reach the heavens in one step right in front of them. It is believed that as long as one is not a fool, they will make the right choice.

...

When the leader of the gathering place handed over the list of applicants to Zheng Yi, he was also shocked.

"Why are there so many?!"

The list had a total of three thousand seven hundred people applying to participate in the experiment, far exceeding Zheng Yi's expectations.

Originally, he thought that due to the uncertainty of the experiment, there would be at most a few hundred applicants, but almost half of the able-bodied men joined the application, which was obviously something he hadn't anticipated.

It is clear that Zheng Yi is not a native of the post-apocalyptic world and therefore cannot understand the thoughts of these people.

"Select one hundred qualified candidates from among them, train them, and then proceed with Integrated Union," Zheng Yi ordered.

Although these applicants are all able-bodied men, many of them have not reached the physical standards for Integrated Union due to long-term malnutrition and need to be trained for a period of time.

The blood rice and other food materials collected earlier, due to their limited production, have not been widely promoted. Now they can be used to train these experimenters.

Just one week later, these experimenters' physical conditions met the requirements. Under the arrangement of the gathering place, they began the process of Integrated Union with the parasitic bat eggs.

In fact, this integration is quite easy. It only requires placing the parasitic bat eggs in the position of the heart, leaving a wound, and the egg will slowly enter the body and integrate with the heart.

After trying various methods, this was the most reasonable and convenient way of Integrated Union.

As it was the first Integrated Union ceremony, Zheng Yi personally supervised it, and there were many powerful espers around to prevent accidents.

Roar!

In the venue of Integrated Union, the person being tested started off normal, but soon his face turned red, his eyes widened, and blood vessels burst, showing a painful expression.

Suddenly, he opened his mouth and let out several intense screams.

His skin gradually turned red and hot, and then began to peel off bit by bit. The flesh around his hands and feet grew visible claws at a rapid speed. A wound opened on his back, and a half-length flesh-colored bat wing emerged, slightly flapping before crashing onto the ground.

Just as he stood up, a bloody figure appeared on the ground. He swung his bloody body and greedily looked at the others before pouncing.

"Freeze!"

Standing at the top, overlooking everything happening below, Zheng Yi pointed his finger, and instantly, the failed evolution monster was frozen in place, unable to move.

"Crush!"

With a flick of Zheng Yi's finger, the originally humanoid flesh monster was directly crushed into a lump of flesh and fell to the ground, then someone took it away.

Ah!

As the first mutated flesh monster died, like a fuse, one by one, figures screamed and fell to the ground, directly turning into a blurry mass of flesh. Obviously, they couldn't withstand the powerful vitality inside the parasitic bat eggs and disintegrated.

In the end, only a little over thirty humans survived.

"It seems that the Integrated Union of parasitic bat eggs is not very high!"

The success rate of only thirty percent made Zheng Yi furrow his brows slightly.

Roar!

Suddenly, the figures standing in the field began to roar towards the sky, their clothes bursting open, revealing their muscular bodies. Blood vessels circulated within them, and their eyes flickered with a crimson color.

The nails on their five-fingered hands began to grow wildly, crystal clear like jade, with a blood-like color, turning into sharp claws. Their eyes turned bloodshot, their teeth became sharp, and a pair of huge blood-colored bat wings spread out behind them as their bodies slowly floated up.

"The true zombie blood bat warriors!"

Looking at the rising zombie blood bat warriors one by one, Zheng Yi nodded slightly in satisfaction. Then, he shouted loudly, and the blood color in everyone's eyes faded away. Their bodies returned to normal and landed on the ground.

Obviously, during their first transformation into blood bat warriors, the bloodthirsty aura caused these ordinary people who suddenly gained immense power to lose their souls. It was only in Zheng Yi's loud shout that they regained their clarity and recovered.

"I survived? I succeeded?"

Shocked and delighted voices rang out, and they stared blankly at the bloody ground around them for a moment.

Although they were not sure what had happened, they knew that something unexpected had occurred during the experiment, and their companions did not successfully evolve.

"Congratulations on becoming superhumans!"

"Become the first group of blood warriors with great potential and power in the gathering place!"

With Zheng Yi's voice, cheers broke the silence in the space. These people were taken away from here and would be strictly trained. Their treatment would be improved, and they would become the elite of the gathering place, constantly monitored in terms of their growth path and development.

"Compared to ordinary people, the success rate of evolution for those with abilities reaches ninety percent, which is similar to the success rate of those few death row prisoners in the Immortal Domain of Dayi."

In fact, besides this group of ordinary people, there is also a part of the gathering place where some individuals with abilities have participated in experiments in order to obtain more powerful abilities.

The effect of the experiment is much better than this time, and the success rate of Integrated Union with the parasitic bat eggs of the Integrated Union can reach about ninety percent. Although it cannot improve their own level of abilities, their own energy value is greatly enhanced.

Currently, everyone has obtained the ability to transform, possessing the special ability of controlling blood as a Blood Warrior, and can absorb zombie crystals and blood for cultivation.

On the side of the Immortal Domain of Dayi, the Qi family has also prepared many death row prisoners. In the Demon Realm, becoming a death row prisoner is not only a cause for public anger, but also a heinous crime. They are burdened with blood debts and there is not a single innocent person among them.

Zheng Yi has no psychological burden when it comes to using them for Integrated Union.

The results are similar to those on the side of individuals with abilities, with nine out of ten death row cultivators succeeding.

However, perhaps the Body Refining systems of the two worlds are completely different, and their paths of development and evolution are also different, resulting in obvious differences after Integrated Union with the parasitic bat eggs, leading to the emergence of two completely different forms of evolution.

Unlike the Blood Warrior system in the apocalypse world, they directly awaken blood-based abilities and grow huge bat wings.

On the side of the Immortal Domain of Dayi, after the death row cultivators undergo Integrated Union with the parasitic bat eggs, they directly devour a large amount of spiritual energy and undergo a peculiar change in their spiritual power system, ultimately undergoing Integrated Union, resembling the birth process of a bat demon with a human form.

In the end, those who succeed in Integrated Union will produce a kind of blood spirit root within their bodies, transforming their physical constitution into a certain kind of blood demon, becoming a certain kind of blood demon constitution.

Immortal Domain of Dayi.

In the Demon Realm, in the mining area of Badong Town, there is a secret base of the Qi family.

This is a hidden valley, chosen by Qi Lin after Zheng Yi took control of the entire Qi family. This place is desolate, with very few people.

Standing at a high point, Zheng Yi overlooks the valley, with Qi Lin explaining softly by his side.

"My lord, the basic results of the experiments and tests during this period have already been obtained."

"After the initial participation of those death row cultivators in the Integrated Union experiment with the parasitic bats, we have obtained first-hand information, confirmed the safety and stability, and have begun selecting a loyal group of members within the family to participate in the final tests..."

"These tests are conducted under top-secret conditions, and all participants must make a solemn oath, undergo a thorough examination of their conscience, and confirm that there are no issues before they can enter here... These are the Qi family cultivators who have just assimilated the bat eggs."

"They used to be peripheral members of the family, with low status and not receiving much attention. They were marginalized and couldn't see any hope of advancement. Now, my lord has given them a chance. Everyone is grateful and willing to sacrifice themselves for my lord, even if it means shedding blood and sacrificing their lives..."
