Chapter 166: Oxygen Depletion
"Eh, I don't wanna actually leave hereeee...." The squirrel shouted at the top of her lungs, but she was still lunging into the pocket of Ray as she felt herself floating almost like there was zero gravity.
"How fast is this bastard's speed?"
Her chubby legs wobbled as she tossed around the entire pocket.
"Behave."
Ray said with a frown, and the squirrel flew out of his pocket, right beside him.
"This guy is too powerful; luckily I have sealed myself in this guy's woman, so he shouldn't act against me." The squirrel thought silently in her heart as her cheeks fluttered in the air, her body turning into an extreme blur just because of the sheer speed.
If it were a normal squirrel, then it would have turned into meat paste already.
"He has noticed something wrong in me, but he shouldn't have discerned who I am, so luckily I am still safe. I hope my body is still safe."
Then Ray landed in another place where Mallory was still there with her eyes wide in horror when she saw Ray, her body trembling even more.
"How is it going, Mallory?" Ray spoke with a smile on his face.
Mallor looked at Ray and immediately crouched down to bow in front of him, her body trembling even more.
Ray silently looked at her, his gaze deep. "I do not care about your story, and neither will I ever, no matter what you did or suffered through. I only know that you killed my woman, Aurora, and you will face dearly for that."
He spoke in a cold, unforgiving tone. Mallory just silently remained in place with her head still bowed to the ground until she started to float again.
"As for you guys," Ray turned towards this S-class Awakener. "Don't think that you guys can go scot-free yourself."
The S-class Awakeners raised their heads, feeling a shiver down their spine. They knew that these days wouldn't be so easy.
Just like that, they reached Gene City, the strongest stronghold of humanity after the apocalypse.
The squirrel looked silently at the entire futuristic city silently.
"This human has already developed too much; with him around, destroying humanity would be difficult," she silently thought in her head with calculation.
"Although there will be no oxygen likely in the air and soon the rest of humanity might die, if that happens then every creature would die and my already thinning power would wither as well."
She was extremely reluctant to accept it, but no matter how reluctant, she still was distinctly aware of reality.
A celestial being wouldn't die even if there was no oxygen; they didn't need anything to breathe at all; as long as they have energy in their body, they can live for a long time.
Ray also breathed air, not because of helplessness, but because it would consume his energy for no reason if he didn't breathe air. Besides, it has already become an instinct for him to breathe; suddenly not breathing was not pleasant for him.
So he always breathed; it wasn't a big deal if he didn't breathe, but he wanted to breathe.
"So I can't kill this human anyway, so it is useless." The Squirrel was extremely reluctant, but in her current state, provoking this terrifying human might likely be the end of her, especially with her brother watching them like an eagle.
It would be a wonder if there was no big problem, and if there was, then things would be more terrifying, especially with her power that was degrading.
"I can only return the world to my children, the children who gave meaning to my world."
"Even though I am not the main body, I should have that authority."
The squirrel silently reached the most luxurious skyscraper and entered with a group of guests from far away.
The moment Ray entered, he was immediately graced by a row of his women, who were all standing there with a smile on their faces.
"Ray, why did you take so long to come and..." Elsha looked at Ray up and down and spoke with a sigh of relief. "Looks like you are not injured."
"Why would I be injured?" Ray asked while raising his brows.
"Well."
Everyone looked at each other with a smile gracing them.
"You guys are keeping the mystery from me? I am heartbroken." Ray made a sad face.
"Don't act so emotional." Vanessa rolled her eyes. "We found a satellite that is still working."
"Really?" Ray's eyes lit up almost immediately.
The apocalypse occurred, and all things in the world were affected by it. This was also in outer space, where there was the apocalypse; some of the people also became undead there and went ham.
The satellites all need maintenance if they want to exist, and with no caring for them, the connection was lost, and they most likely were lost in outer space frozen to death.
So there was no man-driven satellite, and Ray found it difficult to find one until now.
"You guys found one?"
"Yeah." Vanessa casually nodded her head; her pupil distinctively looked at the people behind him for a moment before going towards the strange chubby squirrel.
"Something is wrong with this squirrel."
The squirrel in question immediately felt cold sweat down its back, its two front teeth slightly trembling.
"You felt it too?" Ray asked with a chuckle, his finger casually pointed towards the squirrel as it immediately froze in mid-air.
"Yeap." Vaness nodded honestly.
At this time, Elaria came forward from the group of women with her teeth gritting.
"Ray, can I take this Squirrel?" She asked lightly.
Ray gave her a glance before casually shrugging off: "Sure."
"Thank you." Elaria's eyes immediately lit up.
"However, nothing is free in this world. So what will you give me in return?" Ray asked with a mysterious smile.
Elaria immediately blushed with reddened cheeks.
Ray continued to do his job diligently, and every day seemed to be a breeze passing smoothly.
Countless creations of Ray have come out in droves from the AI improvement to the point that it could make better thinking than humans and the data that was being processed rapidly in the course of a decade.
Every day was a groundbreaking discovery that shocked countless people; this was possible simply because of his S-class skill.
Even people from the other continent started to come to this place in droves for the Gene City, and the Gene City officially expanded, reaching even higher than Russia and more.
At night, he continued his duty of saving humanity as diligently as ever.
Time seemed to pass in the blink of an eye, and nothing strange happened until a month later.
"Are you sure this is the case?" Ray scowled with a frown on his face.
"Yes, it's true, Ray." Seraphine spoke with an extreme grave expression.
"The oxygen is depleting, huh?"
Ray touched his chin while rowing himself in the rocking chair.
He looked through the window at the ground where people were huffing and puffing in a row.
Their minds were heavy, and the weaker one almost fell to the ground, lying unconscious.
Some of the older people even slowly died one by one; the heart patients and the people with diseases were the same as well.
"Hmm, I have a solution for it." Ray spoke with a mysterious smile.
"What is it?" Seraphine asked curiously.
Ray didn't reply; he looked out of the window mysteriously.
"Acting all mysterious for no reason." Seraphine pouted as she walked in front of his desk only to see a woman bobbing her head up and down.
"Having fun, Shelly?"
"Wuah…" Shelly pulled her mouth out for a second with a thin line of white, leaving, "Yes." She smiled slyly.
"Come join us." Ray patted Shelly as if urging her.
Seraphine gulped as she also crouched down.
After a while, moans filled the entire room, drowning everything in place.
…
"How is it going, Elaria?" Ray spoke with a smile on his face.
At this time Elaria was fiddling with the squirrel, and when she found the suddenly deep voice, she immediately panicked instinctively.
"Ray! You almost gave me a heart attack." She tiptoed towards Ray with a smile on her face.
"Really."
Ray carried her as he sat in the bed and forced her to sit in his lap with a flicker of sad expression on his face.
"What happened, Ray?"
"The Earth is losing oxygen; since all the plants and trees are gone, if the human race is gone, then I will not be able to forgive myself. At that point, I don't know what I would do."
Ray's voice was extremely hoarse, with reddened eyes as if mad.
"Eh?" Elaria replied with a stunned expression.
The squirrel silently listened and closed her eyes.
Even Ray couldn't sense a flicker of green travelling down the earth into its core, where there was an empty chamber.
Inside their chamber, the curvaceous woman was absent, but in her place was a sceptre with the green orb.
The green flicker of light directly shot through the sceptre.
Then, the sceptre started to hum in a sweet melody like a mother's embrace.
Nothing happened there, but on the surface of the earth, trees started to appear again like magic.
Since the human population has considerably decreased with countless cities ruined and unoccupied, all the planet seems to be covered by green again.
The African continent returned back to even more of a lush state filled with green jungle as far as it could stretch. There was almost no obstruction.
With the ground trembling as the soil upheaved itself to accommodate for the trees and plants that covered the entire African continent in green.
Numerous flora and fauna that previously were extinct grew larger and larger, and the cycle of life was slowly restored.
Similar scenes were happening all over the world, except for the human settlement where there were still humans; all the other places were instantly occupied by the greenery.
