Doomsday game, my supplies increased tenfold

After waiting for about half an hour, Bo Mu appeared on the altar they found at the beginning. Xiao Qi taught her the spell word by word. Soon, she successfully entered the city and obtained the same underwater buff as Xiao Qi.

"What are we going to do next? I have no idea. How can I know the specific situation?"

"I'll take you to a palace, and then you'll know."

Bo Mu didn't ask any more questions after hearing this. Xiao Qi brought her to the teleportation array where they first entered the palace. There were two mermaids guarding on both sides.

Having never seen such beautiful mermaids before, Bo Mu couldn't help but stare at them in surprise. Even though Xiao Qi had told her about the situation here in advance, she still felt very surprised when she actually saw them.

"What's the matter with you?"

"I know about the evolution potion. If possible, can I go over and tell him? It's not very convenient here."

The two saw that Xiao Qi looked harmless, and since this place was indeed not very convenient, the information should be conveyed directly to the central government, so they activated the magic circle and allowed the two to enter the palace.

After entering, a person waiting beside the magic circle received them into the room. Bo Mu, who saw the palace for the first time, looked around it several times, expressing his amazement at such a magnificent building.

The room was very simple, with nothing else except a simple table, chairs and cabinets.

There was a mermaid sitting in front of the table. She raised her head after hearing the noise. In just a moment, the two of them were stunned by the mermaid's stunning appearance and stood still for half a minute. Although almost all the mermaids in the castle were beautiful, this was the first time Xiao Qi had seen one like this one.

She looked to be in her early twenties, but her temperament was definitely not that of a young girl who had just experienced the world, and she spoke with even greater dignity.

"Now that you are here, come and sit down. You should also know the importance of the evolution potion, so the information you provide must be accurate. Otherwise, I believe you also know how great a crisis this will bring to us."

Xiao Qi did not give a direct answer, nor did he intend to take out the evolution potion directly, but instead asked about everything.

"Actually, I am not a human who has always lived in the city. I am an outsider. I am very curious about the history of the city. Can you tell me about it?"

The mermaid frowned, and the people around her looked a little strange.

"You are outsiders... We used to have many outsiders here, but there are fewer and fewer recently. Then, which direction did you come from? What is the land area there? If this problem does not affect the normal life of your people..."

Xiao Qi thought that they would be very resistant if he told them his identity directly, but he didn't expect that the mermaid would just ask Lu Di with great excitement.

Xiao Qi looked puzzled, and the mermaid then sighed and told her the truth she wanted to know.

"Although you are an outsider, you are so young that you probably don't know much about the disaster that happened a hundred years ago. In a natural disaster a hundred years ago, the land on which people depended for survival was gradually submerged, leaving billions of people with nowhere to live. Originally, most people lived on huge ships, but it seems that marine life has also undergone some kind of mutation. In addition, storms and thunderstorms are becoming more and more frequent, and acid rain will quickly damage ships."

"We had no other options, so we finally turned our attention to the seabed. Although the mysterious seabed is rarely visited by anyone, it is not a good idea to drift on the sea surface. We began to think of ways to survive on the seabed. We originally wanted to develop materials that can withstand high-intensity pressure, but how to operate in such a harsh environment is a big problem."

"Just when we were about to give up, a medical scientist stepped forward. He had been secretly conducting human experiments before the disaster. His team was particularly obsessed with mermaids and had been studying them for decades. This behavior, which was not in line with society and human rights, should have been condemned by everyone, but at this time, it became everyone's lifeline."

"Compared to dying on the ship, being able to transform into another species and live in the ocean seems to be a good idea. Soon, the immature potion was used on the first batch of people who volunteered to use it. Some people turned into beautiful mermaids, and some turned into ugly monsters. But without exception, everyone gained the ability to resist the pressure of the deep sea and breathe underwater."

"Naturally, some people drank the potion but did not experience any changes. Unfortunately, this potion is very precious, and each person only has one bottle. Those humans who failed to evolve successfully can only stay on the ship, while those who evolved successfully entered the deep sea to survive. They established society, order, and cities, and fished for various instruments that could be used in the sea water. The first thing they started was in-depth research."

"This place is gradually taking on the appearance of a city, and research and development has also made the latest progress. Scientists have made a lot of efforts for the development, evolution and survival of mankind. They will use their own bodies for experiments. Those ugly and strange scientists are actually heroes worthy of our admiration. They have obtained a liquid called evolution potion. After drinking it, they can temporarily gain pressure resistance and the ability to breathe underwater. In this way, those who failed to evolve can also survive underwater, but they have to drink the potion regularly."

"So, we would invite any human passing by to live in the seabed. More and more people came here, and a city was formed. Everyone lived and multiplied here, but their offspring perfectly inherited everything from humans. They couldn't breathe underwater and needed to rely on potions to survive. Moreover, the effect of this potion became weaker and weaker as generations evolved."

"Nowadays, scientists have developed new drugs. Although the side effects are a bit serious, it cannot be taken orally, and it is painful when injected, in addition to prolonging the effect, there is a certain probability that the person who is injected will evolve. We started to give the children regular physical examinations and injections, hoping that one day they can really survive here without relying on external forces. However, the drug that could be taken orally before can only be injected now. The parents of the children are obviously unwilling to do so. In addition, the pain of the injection makes the children particularly resistant, which has caused a huge disagreement between us researchers and residents."

After hearing this, Xiao Qi already understood a lot of things, but the story continues.

"The materials for making medicine are hard to come by. The most important ones are some microorganisms on land. At the beginning, when the land had not completely sunk, it was not difficult to collect such microorganisms, but as the land area became smaller and smaller, it became extremely difficult to find such microorganisms. Up to now, the microorganisms we can find every day can only make one medicine. Later, we found that... some land creatures and birds also have such microorganisms in their bodies, so we had to send some people to the water surface to capture microorganisms."
