204: Dalinshan

“What a pity,” Su Yuan sighed softly.

If the support had arrived a little slower, he could have developed many more Evil Human Kin.

Now, he could only retreat; it wasn't time for the Church of Eternal Life to be exposed on a large scale.

For now, it was best to let the Mysterious Organization take the lead.

Anyway, they acted as if they were lonely and invincible, looking down on all other forces, so it would be better for them to experience being besieged by global powers.

The Mysterious Organization was subtly being investigated by mainstream global powers, Wang Dali had told Su Yuan.

Wang Dali had now joined the Wildlife and Plant Administration Bureau, working in Linjiang City, and had provided Su Yuan with a lot of information.

Su Yuan thought highly of him; he was a very special special kin, still maintaining his original racial identity, the only one Su Yuan had encountered in such a long time.

Furthermore, his strength was steadily increasing; although he didn't have the enhancements of ordinary kin's claws and such, his strength was still considerably greater than that of most Evil Human Kin.

In the Linjiang branch of the Wildlife and Plant Administration Bureau, Wang Dali's strength was already among the top, second only to one person.

That person was from the military, a former soldier king, whose strength had rapidly increased after Awakening.

Su Yuan watched as the fifty-odd newly recruited Evil Human Kin all secretly slipped away before preparing to continue his journey.

Su Yuan glanced at the armed helicopter and continued on his way.

“Should I also recruit some special Geniuses and develop technology?”

“Who says a cult can’t have high-tech?”

“Just like the Mysterious Organization, I need to grasp both extraordinary power and black technology, and be strong in both.”

“By then, the believers of the Church of Eternal Life will ride high-tech aircraft, paradrop globally, spreading fear—no, not love.”

“Moreover, the ultimate weapons in human technology currently have no match, which is also a deterrent, no worse than Parasite.”

Su Yuan, with a tentacle pinching his chin, was deep in thought, his speed unchanged, flying towards Zhongyuan Province.

“If I develop technology, I'll need technological talents. These people have received higher education and won't be easy to fool, so I won't have to follow the principle; I'll just convert them directly.”

“The selection of candidates is also a problem. After all, it is well known that China does not lack Geniuses, but alas, even Einstein would have to toast in China. With my academic ability, I'm practically clueless, so I naturally can't tell whether these people's bellies are filled with knowledge or just fat.”

“I'll leave this problem to my kin to solve. As their lord of eternal life, I just need to provide the general direction.”

“As the saying goes, ‘one word from the leader, and the subordinates run themselves ragged.’ It’s time for me to live that kind of life.”

“To develop technology, money is indispensable; in fact, technological development is driven by money. My ship full of Treasure Trove should be enough for the initial stage.”

“And as long as some practical application-oriented products are developed, perhaps even more wealth can be generated.”

The more Su Yuan thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Of course, this was just his opinion; the specifics would be left to his kin to implement, and he would only look at the results.

Immediately, he launched a large-scale Mind Whisper, transmitting the task of finding technological talents into the minds of every Evil Human Kin, including the fifty-odd newly recruited Evil Human Kin.

In an instant, hundreds of Evil Human Kin across the world, as well as Wang Dali, all froze in place, listening to the divine oracle.

In Linjiang City, at the Wildlife and Plant Administration Bureau, Wang Dali, who was exercising, suddenly flipped his body up, stood on the ground, and respectfully spoke towards the distance, “the great lord of eternal life, I will obey your divine oracle and seek out true technological talents.”

In a remote mountain village in Linan City, Manager Yang and Secretary Huang opened their eyes, exchanged glances, shook their heads, and continued to preside over the worship and sacrifice.

Due to their location, they were destined to find it difficult to fulfill this divine oracle and could only leave it to their fellow adherents.

Beijing... [Your Evil Human Kin has caused fear among humans, gaining 997 evolution points.]

[Your Evil Human Kin has caused fear among humans, gaining 996 evolution points.]

...Su Yuan listened to the System's notifications, humming a song with a relaxed expression.

Because today was Sunday, the day Su Yuan designated for worship, his various kin were diligently apprehending evildoers and sacrificing them to Su Yuan.

Therefore, in this wave, Su Yuan gained a large number of evolution points, at least a hundred thousand evolution points.

“It’s truly wonderful to gain evolution points without doing anything.”

Su Yuan was very satisfied, humming a song, as a mountain range stretching over a hundred kilometers appeared before him.

“So this is the Dalin Mountains.”

Su Yuan took out his phone, glanced at it, confirmed the location, and then slowed down.

Besides the three initial targets, he had also come out this time to search for powerful Mutated Creatures across the country to recruit as kin.

Currently, such a sizable mountain range, with an area far exceeding Dayang Lake, even if the Qi concentration was much lower, should still harbor some powerful Mutated Creatures.

Just then, two sharp cries rang out, and two gigantic figures suddenly soared from the forest, engaging in a fierce battle high in the sky.

“Contesting territory?” Su Yuan watched with interest.

These were two enormous Birds of Prey, each with a wingspan of over fifty meters. One was entirely black and white, the other entirely brown, and they were fiercely battling in the night sky.

The black and white Bird of Prey shrieked, flapping its wings, forming countless wind blades that shot towards the brown Bird of Prey like bullets.

The brown Bird of Prey, with keen eyes, also flapped its wings, unleashing equally powerful wind blades. Most of their attacks canceled each other out, and the few that broke through were avoided by both with astonishing speed.

The speed of the two Birds of Prey was incredibly fast; despite their massive size, their horizontal flight speed reached over 150 kilometers per hour, like two bolts of lightning intertwining and colliding in the night sky, feathers flying.

When they dove, their speed even surpassed high-speed trains, approaching the limit of supercars!

“Their strength is not bad, and they can carry people. At crucial moments, they can also airdrop troops. Let them become my kin.”

During this flight, the Qi Su Yuan had consumed earlier at Dayang Lake had almost fully recovered. He immediately unleashed terrifying, bizarre power, engulfing the two Birds of Prey.

Suddenly, the two Birds of Prey stiffened, about to fall straight down, but were caught by Su Yuan's tentacles.

Soon, the heads of the two Birds of Prey became broad, sharp teeth grew in their mouths, scales emerged beneath their feathers, and their tail feathers twisted, growing into sticky tentacles about twenty meters long, roughly the same length as their bodies.

[Congratulations, Host, you have gained a kin.]

“Not bad, not bad.”

Su Yuan nodded, releasing his tentacles. The two bizarrely transformed Birds of Prey ceased their fighting and bowed reverently and fanatically towards Su Yuan.

Su Yuan waved his tentacles, signaling for them to return to rest, and continued to patrol the Dalin Mountains.

At night, many predators choose this time to be active.

Therefore, the Dalin Mountains were not peaceful, with huge roars echoing occasionally, like prehistoric behemoths on the move.

Soon, Su Yuan's gaze lowered, falling upon a Black Bear.

This Black Bear was about thirty meters long, a size that would qualify it as a strong contender among current land animals.

Its fur was glistening, not as a figure of speech, but truly as if it had emerged from oil. Upon closer inspection by Su Yuan, he noticed it was covered in honey.

The Black Bear seemed to sense something, panting heavily and emitting a low growl, as if warning unseen malevolent creatures, as it scanned its surroundings.

However, soon, a swarm of bees pursued it, densely packed, each as large as a human head, with giant stingers that looked terrifying.

Yet, the giant Black Bear merely roared, and an astonishing sonic ripple swept through, crushing all the bees.

“Its strength is good. Let it become my kin.”

Su Yuan perceived the Black Bear's vigorous energy fluctuations and smiled slightly, uttering a sound like the gibberish of an evil god, which directly resonated in the Black Bear's mind.

At the same time, a strange power descended into the Black Bear's body, suppressing its internal energy and bringing about bizarre changes.

The Black Bear began to twist; its two eyeballs moved to the left and right sides of its face, and lower down, while its mouth grew together and fused.

The next moment, its head split open from the crown downwards, revealing sharp, conical teeth arranged vertically from top to bottom, making it utterly terrifying and gruesome.

[Congratulations, Host, you have gained a kin. Please name the kin's species.]

Su Yuan was still cringing at the Black Bear's appearance when the System's prompt sounded.

“It's too ugly, truly too ugly. With this appearance, it doesn't even need to do anything; just standing there could scare people to death. It should bring me some gains in the future.”

“Given that, I'll think carefully this time. Let's call it Ugly Bear.” Su Yuan considered it carefully and said.

[Congratulations, Host, you have gained a new kin, Ugly Bear!]
