After becoming rich overnight, I handed over the system.

Chapter 400 New Hope

Yu Yang's heart tightened. If the controlled behemoth continued to attack the floating city, the remaining city would also disappear into the vast sea.

Thinking of this, Yu Yang immediately spoke up to stop the other party, "Stop! If..."

He wanted to continue telling them that if the attack continued, humanity might disappear from the planet.

He assumed the enemy would continue their indiscriminate attacks, and he was prepared to fight them.

But unexpectedly, Leviathan only "looked" at him before diving into the water and disappearing.

The remaining sea serpent devices also ceased operation and sank into the deep sea.

Over the communicator, Carl left a final message: "Tell Ryan, this is just the beginning. The 'Purification Protocol' has been activated. As for you, think carefully about which side you're on, Hybrid. When the ocean covers all the land, there will be nowhere for half-baked individuals like you."

The signal was interrupted.

The sea returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Only the thick smoke and cries from the eastern residential area served as a reminder of the horror that had just occurred.

Yu Yang's makeshift speedboat had sunk, and he had to swim back to New Atlantis.

As he approached the dock, he saw Speaker Mori and Kobayashi standing on the shore, surrounded by fully armed security personnel.

Their expressions were a mixture of gratitude and something more complex, as if they had seen something both awe-inspiring and terrifying.

Yu Yang climbed onto the dock, water quickly sliding down his armor.

He looked directly into Morrie's eyes: "Now do you understand why the Abyss has remained hidden? Karl isn't the only madman. Humanity, both on land and at sea, is not yet ready to accept this power."

Morrie remained silent for a long time before finally nodding. "The Special Committee will convene an emergency meeting immediately. You must be present, Dr. Yu."

He paused, his voice becoming more formal, "New Atlantis needs you, as our bridge to the Abyss."

On the way back to the parliament hall, Yu Yang noticed a subtle change in the crowd's attitude.

Fear remained, but there was more awe, and even a few scattered applause.

The children were particularly fascinated by his gills and glowing veins, and one little girl even boldly waved her hand.

Kobayashi leaned closer and whispered, "You've become a hero, but also an outcast. This contradiction won't disappear easily."

Yu Yang looked at the gradually subsiding fire in the distance, thinking of Cheng Hai, the ordinary new human residents of Haiyuan, and Karl's crazy "purification" rhetoric.

He knew he was standing on the rift between two worlds, and that rift would only grow deeper.

“I know,” he answered softly, “but someone has to take the first step.”

To be honest, he didn't know what the consequences of his step would be, but at this moment, he needed to step forward.

At this emergency meeting, New Atlantis finally agreed to coexist peacefully with the Abyss.

"Everyone, I will inform Haiyuan of this news as soon as possible. I know you still have some doubts about this decision, but time will tell. We must always think about the surviving humans."

Yu Yang was also deeply saddened, for from this moment on, it was certain that some new humans would emerge from among humanity.

I heard that during the great flood, in order to survive, some humans flew into space, while others stayed behind.

Yu Yang didn't know if those who went to space encountered the same problems as them, but he knew that no matter how the world changed, preserving the human race was the prerequisite for everything.

As Yu Yang's mood turned somber, Lin Liuyi arrived again.

"No, you..."

Lin Liuyi originally wanted to give the soil fruit to the other party, after all, she had heard that this place was all seawater, and the soil fruit might be useful here.

Actually, Lin Mo and the others had picked too many wild fruits, so Lin Liuyi wanted to give them away.

She just didn't expect that her readers would change so much.

"Brother, are you a mermaid now?" Lin Liuyi's questioning tone made Yu Yang chuckle.

He thought this person from another world would be afraid of him seeing him like this, but the other person looked curious instead.

"No, Lan doesn't look like that. Wait, then you must be a merman?"

Lin Liuyi was still wondering how the other person had suddenly become like this.

"A merman?" Yu Yang chuckled self-deprecatingly; he wasn't one.

Seeing Lin Liuyi's curiosity, Yu Yang told her everything that had happened recently.

He talked about his own changes, Cheng Hai's changes, and his own changes in his understanding of the world.

In fact, Yu Yang was very confused. Ryan said that this was the business that his father and others had been doing.

He seems to have accepted it now and is even earnestly persuading others, but in reality, he has no idea whether this is the right thing to do.

He was filled with questions and confusion, but had no one to talk to or ask.

He doesn't know which side he belongs to now—human or new human?

Therefore, taking this opportunity, he revealed all his troubles and confusion.

Lin Liuyi never expected that just because she went to meet another reader, so many things would happen on Yu Yang's side.

Honestly, Lin Liuyi thought Yu Yang had done a great job in such a short time.

A person's worldview has been reshaped, and they have even become a different person. Yet Yu Yang still instinctively considers others. How can this not be good?

However, Lin Liuyi couldn't understand Yu Yang's confusion, because she didn't know what the future of Yu Yang's world would be like.

Just as Yu Yang guessed, the new humans will gradually become human, and the human lineage will be passed down in another way.

Or perhaps, even the new humans cannot stop the changes in the environment, and humanity will slowly disappear from this planet.

Or perhaps, the great flood will disappear one day, and humanity will be able to return to land.

The future holds infinite possibilities; no one knows what will happen.

"So, you don't need to think about so much. Just focus on the present!" Lin Liuyi comforted Yu Yang.

"Oh, right, I also brought you something that might solve your current predicament!" Lin Liuyi teleported the earth fruit to the other party.

Now it was Yu Yang's turn to be puzzled; he had no idea what else could solve their predicament.

"What is this?" Yu Yang looked at the clod of earth in front of him, not knowing what it was.

"This is a soil fruit. As the name suggests, the entire fruit is made of soil!"

"Soil?" Yu Yang was surprised.

It's important to understand that the most needed resource in the world today is land. Only with land can we grow food and solve the survival crisis.

"Yes, if you throw it on the ground, it will turn into a pile of dirt!"

Lin Liuyi himself found it funny, wasn't this the same kind of firecracker we used to play with as kids?
