Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

“If there are no problems in the process of the mental strength test, it can only mean one thing—there is a problem with the standard of the mental strength test.”

Lu Siya pointed at her temple and said, “As human beings continue to evolve, we have unlocked more and more ancient mysteries. The brains and minds of many superhuman individuals have become darker and deeper, while the powers that are trying to invade them have become more unpredictable.

“If we rely on the mental strength standard established many years ago, it will no longer be possible to identify the latest ‘out-of-control’ one. They will all be screened out.”

Meng Chao thought for a long time.

He had to agree with Lu Siya’s point of view.

And this also meant that….

“Other than Ma Hong and Shen Yukun, it is very likely that there are other ‘out-of-control’ superhumans lurking in the Hidden Mist Domain, especially in the sinkhole?”

“Yes,” Meng Chao said. “Their spirit indices have long been off the charts. However, because our testing methods are too backward, we are unable to find these ‘time bombs?’”

“There is such a possibility.”

Lu Siya said, “It is possible that many superhumans are on the verge of mental breakdown and could go crazy at any moment. However, we are unable to locate them

“Then, we can only suspend the exploration, excavation, scientific research, and cultivation in Ruins No. 2.”

Meng Chao frowned and said, “Even the entire sinkhole, including the Hidden Mist Domain, should be designated as a forbidden area. We should develop it more carefully and slowly. We can’t be as chaotic as we are right now. Otherwise, something big will happen.”

The ancient ruins research center reported the same conclusion to the Survival Committee.

However, Lu Siya told Meng Chao not to have too much hope.

“Why?”

Meng Chao frowned and said, “Could it be that with so many strange incidents and the explosion of the Fury Bomb, even experienced superhumans like Ma Hong and Shen Yukun who went crazy at the same time couldn’t arouse the vigilance of the higher-ups?”

“Of course there is vigilance, but it’s still the same. The Dragon City civilization has never been a civilization that fears bloodshed or even death. In the most intense phase of the monster wars, the death rate of superhumans is far higher than those exploring the ancient ruins. However, in order to defend the civilization and break through the limits of life, the superhumans have never frowned.”

Lu Siya said, “Right now, the higher-ups are indeed planning to suspend the exploration of Ruins No. 2 and send an investigation team to find out whether the mother is dead or not.

“However, I don’t have any hope for the success of this investigation team.

“Moreover, I don’t think that the nine mega corporations, the Red Dragon Army, the alliance between Dragon City University and the five university, the four research institutes, and the interest groups of Dragon City will tolerate the long-term closure of Ruins No. 2.

“In short, the resources and power hidden in the depths of Ruins No. 2 are too abundant and powerful. No one can stand that such a treasure is close at hand but out of reach.

“As for your suggestion to let the superhumans who have been tested for a long time and have a firm will, and who will never be mentally deranged, enter Ruins No. 2 to cultivate, the reason is right. The problem is that they lack maneuverability.

“May I ask, which superhuman hasn’t been tested for a long time? And who do you think has a firm will? Before they lost control, who would have thought that they would go crazy?

“There are only so many cultivation resources and opportunities. No matter whose name is on the list, those superhumans who have failed will not be convinced. Right now, there are hundreds of spots for research and cultivation in Ruins No. 2 every day, and people are fighting for them. If it is really as you said, and the scale is reduced by ten times, only dozens of superhumans who have passed the rigorous test every day are qualified to enter Ruins No. 2. It would be a miracle if they don’t make a scene!

“It’s useless even if the nine mega corporations reached an agreement with the Red Dragon Army, because more and more superhumans have heard about the wonders of the Hidden Mist Domain. They have secretly come here from Dragon City to collect and cultivate without permission. These guys are like carps crossing the river. We really can’t catch them.”

Meng Chao had also heard about the ‘undocumented superhumans.’

It should be said that mega corporations like Sky Pillar Corporation and Universe Corporation had a certain bottom line even if they were arrogant and despotic.

Even if they wanted to take things by force, they had to set the rules of the game and make their eating manners as refined as possible.

In addition, the Red Dragon Army and the homecoming parliament members in the survival committee were watching them from the side.

This made them generally not dare to act recklessly when they were exploring and developing the Hidden Mist Domain.

However, many superhumans who didn’t have a family and worked for themselves didn’t have so many scruples.

Now, everyone in Dragon City knew that the Hidden Mist Domain, where the monster lair was located, was the basin surrounded by the entire Monster Mountain Range. It was the place with the densest spirit energy and the richest resources.

There were also hundreds of millions of years of ancient secret treasures hidden underground. There were all kinds of ancient weapons, axes, swords, halberds, hatchets, hooks, forks, and even peerless supernatural powers… Everything was available.

In the urban legends, which were becoming more and more mysterious, as long as one was lucky enough to take a stroll in the Hidden Mist Domain, one might stumble on top-grade crystals engraved with ancient runes.

Obviously, those who had awakened their extraordinary powers didn’t think that their luck could be that bad.

Many people came to the Hidden Mist Domain in high spirits.

Although it was not as exaggerated as “One would trip over a top-grade crystal when walking”.

But the concentration of spirit energy was indeed much higher than Dragon City.

They could also hunt some high-level monsters with delicate skin and tender meat that had great nutritional value.

Because the main brain of the monsters had been destroyed.

These monsters all became dull and stupid, allowing humans to slaughter them. The hunting difficulty was suddenly reduced by several times.

The first undocumented superhumans who had rushed over all ate heartily, their faces flushed with satisfaction.

When the news spread, almost all the superhumans in Dragon City were eager to try and come to the Hidden Mist Domain to cultivate.

If the millions of superhumans were really sent out in full force, the social order and economic operation of Dragon City would certainly be seriously affected.

The Hidden Mist Domain would also become a pot of hot porridge that was overturned.

Therefore, the nine mega corporations, the Red Dragon Army, the four research institutes, the six universities… the major forces of Dragon City jointly issued a document that adopted an “Approval System” for the collection, research, and cultivation of the Hidden Mist Domain.

Only those who met certain conditions and received authorization from all aspects could enter this blessed land and share the legacy of the monster civilization.

The problem was that the cultivation resources here were simply too fragrant.

The Hidden Mist Domain was simply too big.

Most of the areas were also places with high mountains and dense jungles, where there were few people.

Those superhumans who did not have authorization and were making small movements were, of course, unable to enter the heavily guarded Ruins No. 2.

However, from the edge of the Hidden Mist Domain, it was very normal to find a lush, ancient jungle and casually drill into it without being discovered for three to five days.

After that, whether it was private mining, stealing crystals, finding a place with abundant spirit energy, meditating, or forming a team to hunt monsters, it was all worth it.

Such acts of “private mining, private hunting, and private cultivation” that were not approved, did not cooperate with the plans of the major forces, and did not pay taxes according to the law would naturally be punished by the law.

However, the words “the law does not punish the masses” were a helpless reality on Earth and in other worlds.

If there were only one, two, or thirty to fifty superhumans, even if there were seven or eight hundred of them, they would face severe punishment by the law.

However, according to Lu Siya’s estimation, the number of superhumans who entered the Hidden Mist Domain to cultivate without approval was very likely to reach seven or eight thousand, or even more than ten thousand.

If one were to count the number of “individuals,” it would be impossible.

That was because many superhumans had secretly run to the Hidden Mist Domain and wandered around in the depths of the jungle for a few days, hoping to try their luck and see if they could find supreme-grade crystals, high-level monsters, and ancient secret treasures.

After realizing that things were not so simple, they secretly ran out and returned to Dragon City without anyone noticing.

As long as they didn’t say it themselves.

No one knew that they had come to the Hidden Mist Domain.

Meng Chao didn’t care about the problem of these undocumented superhumans ‘privately mining, privately hunting, and privately cultivating’.

What he cared about was… ‘these superhumans who secretly ran to the Hidden Mist Domain and then secretly ran back to Dragon City without leaving any records.’ Is it possible that they, like the explorers who went deep into Ruins No. 2, heard the ancient ruins’ summon, transformed into an ancient vicious beast, and participated in the nightmare of the ancient war, and even suffered some kind of… influence on both the psychological and physiological levels?

“After they return to Dragon City, they will, of course, be tested in their respective positions.

“But now that the Monster War has ended, the routine tests in Dragon City are far less rigorous than those in the Hidden Mist Domain.

“Even the tests here are difficult to identify the ‘out-of-control’ ones who have gone mad.

“If the superhumans who have been in and out of the Hidden Mist Domain illegally are really affected by some… mysterious power, there are not many ways to find them for the time being!”

When he thought about the countless superhumans who had returned to Dragon City from the monsters’ lair, he realized that they might continue to be haunted by the nightmares of the ancient vicious beasts. They might secrete black mucus and turn themselves into a giant pupa They might crawl into the twisted, narrow, and extremely dark crevices. They might also turn into indefinite bombs like Ma Hong and Shen Yukun. No matter how small the fuse was, it would cause them to go crazy.

Meng Chao began to have a headache.

“Do you have a feeling that we don’t have a 100% chance of winning the Monster War?”

Through the round glass window of the temporary hospital, Lu Siya looked at the dark clouds in the sky above Mist Mountain. She crossed her arms and mumbled, “It’s like the monster mainframe lost to us on purpose, but left us with such a huge mess to clean up. If we’re not careful, we’ll all be stuffed to death by the corpses of the monster civilization.”

Meng Chao was stunned. “Sister Ya, what did you say?”

“Nothing.”

The corner of Lu Siya’s eyes twitched involuntarily, hiding the few bloody lines deep in her eyeballs. “I said, the wind is rising.”
