Chapter 4276: 5.0028 Serious Situation

"You're too impatient," Mu Rouxuan said, setting down the letter in her hand.

She had read this letter from her mother repeatedly, to the point where she could recite it backward.

She had analyzed all of her mother's plans, finding them to be of low effectiveness.

Especially taking action at sea; it was practically seeking death.

In the vast expanse of water, with nowhere to hide, and given the little Crown Prince Consort's vigilance, wanting a successful ambush? That was simply wishful thinking!

"I've reorganized Mother's plans. All of you, settle down for a while. We'll figure out how to act once we reach Wangchuan territory."

"Miss."

"Miss He'er, if you believe my proposed method is unsuitable, you are welcome to proceed separately from me."

He'er frowned, looking at Mu Rouxuan, her gaze falling on the left side of her face.

That ugly centipede scar was very conspicuous, something no beauty-loving girl could tolerate.

But Mu Rouxuan had endured it. She had never even asked the Master of the Hall for a single Beauty Pill.

He'er believed that if Mu Rouxuan were to ask, the Master of the Hall would certainly not be stingy in giving it to her.

What could be the reason that this eldest daughter of the Mu family no longer cared about her own appearance?

Did she even care about anything anymore? He'er's brow furrowed even tighter.

If a person had no weaknesses, they would indeed be very difficult to control.

Because... the unpredictable factors were too high.

He'er looked deeply at Mu Rouxuan, then turned and walked out.

Three Days Later

Long Hui stood on the deck, gazing at a dilapidated small fishing village in the distance.

From their vantage point, they could see many stiff,僵硬 (jiāngyìng - stiff/rigid) figures walking around on the beach.

"How could this place become like this?" Long Xiangyun clenched her fist, a hint of disgust on her face.

"It spread so quickly," Long Hui sighed, looking at the aimlessly wandering figures on the beach. He shook his head. "If it continues to develop like this, one day it will affect the area near Wangchuan."

"If you all continue to allow this, won't it be affected sooner or later?" Mu Xingchen couldn't help but scoff.

Qiao Mu sat by the table, drinking tea, not even bothering to lift an eyelid.

For the past three days, the ship had sailed steadily. Only yesterday evening did they encounter a large corpse shark, which was dealt with by everyone's combined efforts, without any major trouble.

A portion of the creatures in the sea had long since mutated. Big Brother was not wrong.

If they regularly sent people out to sea to clear out the mutated fish, they could somehow control the situation within a certain range.

Instead of what was happening now, where everyone in that entire village had mutated due to eating mutated things.

"You say it so simply, but to truly control it, how much manpower and resources would it cost?" Long Xiangyun couldn't help but retort angrily at Mu Xingchen.

Mu Xingchen couldn't help but roll his eyes: So that's your reason for doing nothing?

"These coastal villages will probably mutate like this one very soon."

Long Xiangyun proudly raised her chin, "Even if all these foolish fishermen die out, Wangchuan will still stand strong."

"The place where we live, you land-dwelling humans, cannot imagine, and you have no way of accessing it normally."

Mu Xingchen raised an eyebrow noncommittally, not continuing to argue with her.

After traveling for another half a day, three beautiful islands, rolling and undulating, appeared within everyone's sight.
