Chapter 89

"Boy, you are truly lucky. To have survived the rush through the turbulent hole, hehe, you are the only outsider in the past five years, and you actually came through the turbulent hole. You are likely to become a legend in Mobi Mobi."

This was an elderly man, who looked to be in his sixties, and was a staff doctor at the pipeline construction site. The medical equipment he used was very similar to that in Hao Qi's previous life's hospital, such as stethoscopes and blood pressure monitors. The old man was also dressed in white, and for a moment, Hao Qi felt as if he had returned to the hospital of his previous life.

Hao Qi paused for a moment, then bowed and said, "Sir, do you have any news of my companions? Was I really the only one found?"

The old man looked at Hao Qi several times, his sad expression was genuine. He already believed Hao Qi to be a survivor of a shipwreck, and this expression, combined with his initial thoughts, made it clear what Hao Qi was grieving over. He sighed and said, "At least on this line, there is no one else. This area is all turbulent entrances. An ordinary person has a one in a hundred chance of surviving, even if they have quasi-internal strength, they can at most remain physically intact. For you to survive alone is already a stroke of luck. As for the other gentle flow entrances, either they are too far away or they are in the closing period... Well, I will go and ask, using the signal transmission machine to inquire about the nearby turbulent entrances. If anyone else survives, I will come back and inform you... Please take care."

Hao Qi felt even heavier in his heart and still bowed, saying, "Sir, thank you."

The old man sighed again, shook his head, and left Hao Qi lying on the bed. After the old man left, Hao Qi got up from the bed and began to look around. He found that the building material of the entire room was a material similar to stone, but it was not constructed by stacking, but was a single piece, without any plastering. It was as if a single stone had "grown" into this shape. Looking out the window, he could basically confirm that this building had grown from the body tissue of the blue giant beast, Amun Hadith.

Buildings growing from a biological body? Although biological bodies can form stone-like structures, that is a disease, an anomaly. But the situation before him was clearly different. Not only this building, but in this small construction site with only about ten people, there were almost five buildings, all of which had grown from the body tissue of the blue giant beast, Amun Hadith. This meant that it was repeatable and controllable. Clearly, the relationship between the people of Mobi Mobi and the blue giant beast, Amun Hadith, was not parasitic, but a deeper level of control.

Looking out the window, he could also see that the body tissue of the blue giant beast, Amun Hadith, such as the top of its head and the tissue on either side, was directly emitting light. It was not that some lamps were embedded in the body tissue, but that the body tissue itself was glowing. It was a soft, non-blinding light that illuminated the surroundings.

"…That is the time light."

A voice came from the door of the medical room, a stern voice. Hao Qi had already heard his footsteps and did not intend to continue lying on the bed to pretend, so when he spoke, Hao Qi turned to look at him.

The man speaking had a square face, looking very stern, but his eyes were somewhat dim, as if his mood was not good. He looked at Hao Qi and said, "The function of this light is similar to how people outside look at the sky. Every twenty-four hours, the light will gradually brighten from morning, become very bright at noon, then dim at dusk, and finally turn dark. It is part of the blue giant's time cycle… You seem to be almost fully recovered. The physical condition of a quasi-internal strength person is truly enviable. If there are no problems, would you like to register now?"

"Register?" Hao Qi turned curiously.

The man with the square face nodded and gestured to the data form in his hand, "People rescued from shipwrecks outside need to be registered. This information needs to be sent to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Without this, you won't be able to work and earn money in Mobi Mobi. Although there is government assistance, the condition for receiving assistance is that you must have an ID card, which everyone in Mobi Mobi has. It's like… well, citizenship in the outside world. This is necessary. So if you have time, let's do the registration now to avoid delays."

(It seems that Mobi Mobi's population policy is already very advanced.)

Hao Qi thought to himself. In the outside world, except for a few highly developed and advanced countries like the Blue Shadow Republic and the Sea Kingdom, other countries only have the concept of citizenship. Some imperial countries even have travel permits. In comparison, the population management of his own country was very inefficient, and there was no concept of an ID card. He immediately nodded at the man with the square face.

The man with the square face pulled a chair over and gestured for Hao Qi to sit in front of him, then asked, "Name, age, gender, and original country?"

"Hao Qi, age 20, gender… you can see for yourself, male, original country is the Blue Shadow Republic."

The man with the square face smiled and said, "This is just procedure. I have to ask you personally to confirm it. And… well, this is something that doesn't exist in the outside world. You might not know, but gender can be very deceptive. My youngest son went to a COS conference, dressed as a woman, and was more beautiful than my eldest daughter. I almost broke his legs. In this world, men are becoming more feminine, and women are becoming more masculine. It's really hard to tell the difference."

Hao Qi showed a look of understanding, and the man with the square face smiled and stopped talking, then continued to ask some questions, such as the ship he was on, the reason for the disaster, the number of people involved, whether he intended to stay in Mobi Mobi, his skills, and his strength. Hao Qi was honest except for his strength and the number of people involved. The man with the square face also said a few words of condolence and then put away the registration form, saying, "I have already inquired with the nearby pipeline work teams. There is no one else… You are the only one who entered Mobi Mobi. No one else has been found. Please take care."

"The form will be submitted, and your ID card will be ready within ten working days. With your quasi-internal strength, you won't have to worry about living in Mobi Mobi. That's all I can do to help." The man with the square face bowed and said, "Finally, welcome to Mobi Mobi."

Hao Qi also bowed in return and said, "Thank you for the rescue, thank you."

After the man with the square face left, Hao Qi lay back on his bed. He felt a slight relief because no one had found Zhang Heng's body in the nearby pipelines. This was significant. He and Zhang Heng had entered the turbulent hole, and it was almost impossible to leave the blue giant beast, Amun Hadith, on their own. They were confirmed to have been pulled into the blue giant beast, but were separated in the turbulent flow. He was found, but Zhang Heng was not found in the nearby pipelines… Clearly, Zhang Heng either entered a hidden pipeline or was washed to another area. No news was the best news. What he feared most was suddenly hearing of Zhang Heng's death or finding his body…

So… please, stay alive!

At the same time, in a narrow pipeline far from Hao Qi and the others, this was a hidden pipeline not recorded in Mobi Mobi's official channels. Judging by the color of the blue giant beast's body tissue around, it seemed to be a newly opened pipeline. At that moment, more than ten people armed with various weapons were running through it.

"Captain, the power station is heavily guarded. Could it be that there is a gap or a traitor within, as the leader said?" One of the men suddenly asked the woman at the front of the group while running.

The woman was completely wrapped in a thick cloak, with only a large sword on her back. She replied in a clear voice, "Do your job, soldier. The matter of spies or traitors is something the leaders should worry about. If today's operation fails, we will all be punished when we return. Save your strength for the punishment."

Everyone was speechless. Suddenly, a girl's voice rang out, "Captain! There's someone in the pipeline water!"

Everyone quickly looked down into the pipeline. With the light from the surrounding giant beast's tissue, they all saw a person floating on the surface of the water. Everyone stopped and looked at the woman leading them.

The woman frowned but immediately took action. She jumped up, stepped on both sides of the pipeline, and dived into the water. She then threw the person in the water up, about twenty meters high, and the people above caught him. She then repeated the process to get out of the water.

After getting out, the woman touched the person's neck and showed a surprised expression. Then, a surge of internal strength from her palm extended into the person's body, stimulating his throat and heart. After a moment, the man in the water spat out several large mouthfuls of water and struggled to wake up.

"What is your name, outsider?" the woman asked the man in the water.

"Zhang… Zhang Heng…" the man in the water said with difficulty.

The woman stared at the man for a moment and then said, "You are truly unfortunate, not to have met the people of Mobi Mobi. You probably won't be able to enter Mobi Mobi… The Mobi Mobi Revolutionary Army welcomes you, outsider…"

This was the last thing Zhang Heng heard before he fell into darkness and unconsciousness again…
