Mo Qiang followed Mo Xifeng as the latter guided her to the ocean. The closer the two of them got to the ocean, the more Mo Qiang felt a sudden pressure rise in her heart. With infrared vision, she looked at Mo Xifeng before her eyes fell on the sea that was covered with mist that was even darker than it was before.
Even though the two of them were still far away, Mo Qiang heard a loud churn before a wave washed over the shore causing the ground to shake and rumble. She looked down at her feet which were covered with dark violet liquid and her face twisted in disgust.
" What is this??" She questioned as she pulled her feet back, only to find that the liquid that was sticking to her shoes was actually stuck in the liquid and she could not move her feet anymore.
" It's Bulgs," Mo Xifeng replied as she pulled her feet away from the dark violet liquid and then walked over to where Mo Qiang was standing before pulling her back with the help of her collar. " This is the residue that was left after years, no centuries of waste accumulation in this water body. I heard from my teacher that there was a time when this water body was cleaner than the glasses sold in the shops but with continuous waste deposit, oil spilling and chemical pollution, it turned into this."
She sighed causing the inside of her mask to turn a bit hazy before continuing, " The chemical discharge was the worst. It caused many life forms to die while some of them mutated, their bodies became infected and so did everything else. This liquid is a combination of those reactive substances along with the waste of the creatures that live inside this water body."
Once she was done explaining, Mo Xifeng turned to look at Mo Qiang and asked, " Now, are you still confident that you can take care of it?"
"… Yes,"
No! There was no way she could take care of this entire mess on her own! But Mo Qiang knew that she did not have the option of backing down. This was a task that was handed to her and the rewards for finishing this task were not small and neither was the risk of failing it.
She could not throw the white flag which meant that she could only face the problem that was in front of her. No matter how big it was.
Mo Xifeng looked at Mo Qiang who was still certain about winning and sighed.
" If that is what you think then I will leave my best wishes for you," there was nothing else she could do. Though she was the youngest mecha morph in the Imperial Star, she could not do anything to help her sister other than support her sister.
" Well, I do need it," Mo Qiang muttered as she looked at the sea which was filled with nothing but dread and gloom.
A water body this big would have a lot of variables and she needed not only to purify the water body but she also needed to create saltwater blocks where they could trap water and then wait for it to evaporate. It was not something that could be done now.
What was more, she looked down at the water that was filled with nothing but toxic chemicals. Something that she would not be able to deal with so easily.
