Chapter 332: The Mysterious Company

You Huan strolled through the deserted city.

With the help of those humans, he finally came to the "Earth" of this world.

The appearance and social structure here are completely different from the "Earth" he knows. It is a completely different place.

Here, people's lives are controlled by a few giant companies rather than the government.

For now, all he sees is an empty city and the graffiti he can glimpse in the alleys.

The content of the graffiti is mostly about cursing the company, saying that the world is going to end, etc.

Combined with the dust all over the city and the bleak autumn wind, it feels like the end of the world is near.

Unlike Xiao and others, as a black water creature, he can sense anything related to black water within a few miles through blood induction.

There used to be a large amount of black water here, and this black water was very different from the original black water.

The black water had once boiled, indicating that a battle had taken place here.

All the flowers and plants in the flower beds have withered, the trees along the road have lost their leaves, and all living things, from stray cats and dogs to mice, birds, and insects have disappeared.

Instead, some new black creatures grew up, which were between animals and plants, similar to the plants on Paradise Star that were infected by black water.

You Huan believes that if not regulated, these areas that have been abandoned by humans will soon become a second paradise.

Rebuilding ecology based on black water.

Other than that, there is nothing here.

So he didn't stop for long and followed the scent left by humans.

After two days and two nights of sleepless marching, we finally found a human gathering place.

This place is isolated from the outside world by layers of walls and protective nets.

The smell of fire and ultraviolet rays permeates the air, and drones fly over from time to time, sprinkling a unique liquid.

When coming into contact with these liquids, You Huan immediately felt a slight numbness in the exoskeleton.

This liquid has an inhibitory effect on the activity of black water.

——But for an extremely powerful black water creature like him, the effect was very weak.

After walking around the outer wall, he took advantage of the human sentry's inattention and accumulated energy in a blind spot of the surveillance.

The lift provided by the sickle wings and the sharp claws gripped the wall, and in the blink of an eye, it flipped over silently, clinging to the wall.

The infrared detection, sonic detection and other waves scanned his body and found nothing abnormal.

This ability to avoid detection comes from the invisible black water life that it had eaten.

Once inside the wall, he immediately rushed into the settlement.

Although his body is huge compared to humans, he looks very small in front of modern skyscrapers.

Even ordinary residential buildings are much taller than him.

Plus the exoskeleton's ability to reduce presence.

He managed to climb through the window and enter an uninhabited house before anyone here could react.

Standing in front of the glass window covered with a layer of dust, he observed the situation here.

The human density here was not as high as he had imagined.

The pedestrians who occasionally appeared on the street also had frowned brows and walked hurriedly.

It seems that the Black Water outbreak killed quite a lot of people.

However... he believed that there was another reason why this settlement was so depressed.

On the road, a pedestrian was walking hurriedly, wrapped in a coat and a scarf, with his whole body wrapped in thick clothes.

Suddenly, a dark light flashed in an alley he passed.

The man was dragged into the alley before he could even utter a scream.

After a moment, a smell of blood was emanated.

This should be a place where people migrate in an organized manner to seek refuge, and in theory it is a relatively safe place.

But in fact, there is more than one alien wandering here.

Whenever they are hungry, they will start hunting in places where the inhibitors have become weak due to evaporation.

In such a special living environment, these aliens are accumulating certain factors in their bodies.

Just recycle them and have some suitable objects...like, the Alien Queen.

Perhaps a more resistant, stealthy, and terrifying alien will be born.

And that's not all.

In You Huan's perception, the black water in this settlement is more dense and intense than the outside world by hundreds of times!

In addition to those scattered aliens, there must be a large-scale black water experiment being carried out here.

So many humans who came here voluntarily to escape are the best experimental subjects.

Combining the genes of an intelligent race with black water always creates something unique.

This was verified in the case of the White Giant.

The White Giant used black water and its own genes to create many strange things that could not be born through evolution in the wild.

When he saw a large truck with the Weyland company logo on it rumbling towards the depths of the settlement.

He became more certain of his guess.

Yet he still had doubts.

What exactly is Weyland trying to do by working so hard on Blackwater and using fellow humans as experimental subjects?

If they want to use aliens as weapons of war, they must have someone to be their target of war, right?

How can a decaying and weak human society bear such ambitions?

It seems that Weyland may have other purposes for studying Blackwater.

Just as he was wondering, a strange feeling suddenly came over him.

He suddenly turned his head, his eyes seemed to penetrate the wall, looking somewhere in the settlement.

After dealing with them so many times, he found that his sensitivity to visitors from the Fenyu World seemed to be getting more and more acute.

At this moment, he felt a breath completely different from this world descending nearby.

Different from the aura of those pink monsters killed before, it reveals a purer and calmer meaning.

The figure of a young man emerged in his mind.

Could it be the mysterious Heaven Investigator?

When he noticed this aura.

The owner of the breath seemed to have noticed that someone was observing him.

In the house next door to the residential house where You Huan lives.

A family of three who originally lived here and seemed to be discussing escaping to another settlement seemed to be enveloped by something strange in an instant.

Something indescribable flashed through them and was implanted in their bodies.

Instantly transforming them into a temporary container to carry the arrival of a certain existence.

The image of a thin, brown-skinned man gradually emerged in the house like a print.

Joshua snapped his fingers, and the family of three instantly recovered from their dazed and stiff state, and continued their discussion as if nothing had happened.

He opened the door and walked out, standing in front of the door of the house next door, folding his arms and touching his chin.

You Huan noticed that the owner of the breath instantly moved to the outside of the door. After a brief thought, he used his tail to roll up the door handle, which was very small compared to him.

He opened the door and greeted Joshua very naturally, "Mr. Joshua, nice to see you again."

"Mr. You, long time no see." Joshua also looked calm. "It seems that we are all here to investigate the situation, right?"

"Are you interested in what's going on here?"

Facing You Huan's question, the mysterious man Joshua showed a hint of hesitation for the first time.

But after a pause, he quickly replied:

"As you know, I am the Investigator of the Universe, responsible for dealing with certain 'life' or 'phenomenon' that spread from our world."

"I thought my work on this world was done, but after a brief trip through space, I immediately sensed something was wrong on this planet."

"I can't tell what's wrong for now, so I plan to investigate it carefully here."

"After all, I am a very dedicated investigator."

Hearing this, You Huan's contemplation came to an end.

This Joshua, no matter who "he" is, it is certain that he knows a lot of information about the higher worlds in the heavens.

Whether it is out of intention to make friends with this investigator, or to learn more about the world of the heavens.

He made an invitation after Joshua finished speaking: "I'm also very interested in the situation here. Why don't we work together to investigate?"
