Chapter 29： Energy tower

Three days passed.

Fire ignited in a clearing of the base.

Sad crying surrounds the lit wooden bed.

The body of the supernatural person found during the zombie snake invasion was put on a wooden bed by relatives and friends, surrounded by many burning wood hay and burned to ashes.

Until the fire was extinguished, there were ashes and wood ashes on the ground, and there was a supernatural nucleus that could not be burned.

Si Huaixi looked at the crystal nucleus with gloomy eyes, and his heavy face made people shudder.

After seeing this scene, the base leader Cao Leipeng flashed complicated meanings in his eyes, and sighed with fear and patted Si Huaixi on the shoulder: "It's all over, there won't be any more tragedies."

Si Huaixi's face was slightly stagnant, and the igniting smoke covered the emotions hidden in his eyes, and said, "Yeah."

Cao Leipeng sighed heavily in his heart. He also knew that Si Huaixi hadn't listened at all, otherwise he wouldn't have come to watch the funeral of a supernatural person who had nothing to do with him.

But it's no wonder that he will be brooding, who would have thought that betraying them is the most trusted companion.

Cao Leipeng's eyes flashed with indignation and resentment, and his righteous national character face showed a gloomy and unhappy expression.

Just because those people are too hateful!

Thoughts went back to two years ago.

If Cao Leipeng was the third in command of the Lucheng base at that time.

Two years ago, the leader of the base was not served by Cao Leipeng. The old leader was an awakened ability since the outbreak of the zombie virus. He has come all the way to battle with experienced Tier 8 veteran powers. Although Cao Leipeng is also Rank 8 seems to be not much different from the old leader, but he knows that he can't beat the old leader.

Si Huaixi was only 19 years old at the time. Although Cao Leipeng knew that this young man was very talented and killed a lot of zombies, he was a mental power capable person worthy of cultivation, but he was a young man with little experience and strength. It should not be much higher.

Later, Cao Leipeng blushed in regret when he said to Si Huaixi to take care of him.

But who could know that this young man had hidden his strength two years ago. At that time, Si Huaixi's strength was more than enough to defeat him, and even the old leader who had betrayed his comrades finally lost to this young man.

Two years ago, there was a period of time in the Lucheng base where something unknown happened that the supernaturalists disappeared.

However, the Lucheng base under the control of the old leader has not done population management of the base, and no one knows how many abilities have disappeared.

The people at the base were just whispering in their hearts, and couldn't tell why. Some people guessed that the disappeared supernaturalists disappeared because of various reasons such as fighting, leaving the base, or being killed by zombies.

I don't know if I checked, Cao Leipeng, who was still the third commander of the Lucheng base at the time, was shocked. The base had a total of two or three hundred supernaturalists, and nearly 30 innocent people had disappeared.

Cao Leipeng knew that something was wrong, and immediately told the old leader of the seriousness of the problem. The old leader said that he would send someone to investigate, but he didn't expect it to stop...

Until Si Huaixi's face was more severe than ever, he personally escorted the old leader's only son with blood on his face, and brought two **** heads with the corpses of the supernatural beings that had been opened without the crystal nucleus.

The limbs of the old leader's only son were broken, his red eyes raised in anger, and his mouth was verbally abused saying that it was a big deal to die a few low-level abilities, and let the old leader save him in full view.

The old leader looked at the tragedy of his only son, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Cao Leipeng wondered at the time why the only son of the old leader wanted to kill the companions of those with supernatural powers.

Si Huaixi told a cruel truth.

For the crystal nucleus in the brain of the companion of the ability.

Just like the zombies born with supernatural powers in a group of zombies, a crystal nucleus will be condensed in the brain, and as a human supernatural power, a crystal nucleus will also be condensed in the brain.

The only son of the frenzied old leader dared not go to the wilderness to face dangerous zombies, but attacked the unsuspecting companions of supernatural powers in order to obtain the crystal cores in their brains and sell them in exchange for the crystal cores suitable for their own absorption and cultivation.

Cao Leipeng's scalp was numb as soon as these words came out. He didn't expect that there was such a dark and extinct scene in the base.

There are 80 times more zombies than humans, and the proportion of the few remaining humans who can awaken the ability is very low. Killing the compatriots of the ability is undoubtedly pushing the fate of the entire human race to an even more extreme despair!

Why... they want to do this? !

What made Cao Leipeng even more unexpected was that the old leader actually angered Si Huaixi to kill him in order to save his only son.

The old leader shouted arrogantly that the rare mental power crystal nucleus in Si Huaixi's brain was the most expensive. Someone had set a high price on the black market for a long time, and even offered an eighth-order crystal nucleus as a reward.

Tier 8 zombies can drive a huge group of zombies. If you want to obtain a Tier 8 crystal nucleus, it is almost impossible for a Tier 8 ability person to fight alone, so you need more ability users. Exhausting those groups of zombies, but also to guard against surprise attacks by Tier 8 zombies, basically this kind of attack on high-tier zombies requires the mobilization and cooperation of the entire base.

Even so, there is still the possibility of failure, otherwise Zhou Fei, who was at other bases, would not be afraid to escape because of a round of encirclement and suppression of high-level zombies, and came to the Lucheng base.

The old leader thought that as long as he killed Si Huaixi, he would get a Tier 8 crystal core, and hope to break through the Tier 9 that had been stagnant for so long!

Dealing with a young supernatural power, the old leader brazenly let his men besieged.

Cao Leipeng couldn't see these wicked people, and planned to help Si Huaixi.

Unexpectedly, Si Huaixi didn’t need his help at all. He killed the old leader, the old leader’s only son, and his subordinates all by one person. Si Huaixi, who was extremely angry, together with their brains and the crystals in their brains. The nuclei exploded and smashed together.

I thought that things would come to an end after the old leader and others died.

But suddenly there appeared a mysterious man with incredible strength, and his terrifying strength was even more terrifying than Cao Leipeng had been fortunate to witness the battle scene of a 9th-order supernatural power.

The sky full of yellow sand swept across the entire base area, condensing huge boulders comparable to a huge mountain, if it can directly destroy a quarter of the base area, but such a powerful mysterious person finally died in Sihuaixi Hands.

Cao Leipeng faintly felt that the strength of this mysterious person was far superior to that of the rank 9 ability person, and there was a trace of guess in his heart that the mysterious person was a rank 10 ability person.

But Cao Leipeng couldn't be sure no matter how deep he was. If the mysterious man was a rank 10 ability person, wouldn't it be that 19-year-old Si Huaixi was a rank 10 ability person? No one would believe it.

This is not as simple as having a good talent, but something that is impossible according to common sense. Even Cao Leipeng himself is considered a good talent. If it took almost thirty years to become a Tier 8 ability person, then it will be a step below. It takes a lot of time and crystal nuclei. If this process takes seven or eight years, it will be considered lucky.

Si Huaixi was just an adult two years ago. Even if he awakened his abilities and began to practice when he was born, it was far inferior to the predecessors of abilities who had practiced since the beginning of the end times.

Even if there are no more than 100 people with level 10 abilities in the world, and no more than 5 people with level 11 abilities in the world.

It’s impossible to look at it, but now Cao Leipeng is not sure...

Back to reality.

Cao Leipeng saw that the ashes and unburned crystal nuclei of the accidentally lost abilities were also put into the jar by relatives, and held in his arms by a woman with a gorgeous-looking mole on the corner of the mouth, presumably he planned to bury it in one place. stand up.

The news of the death of the old leader was too sudden. Some original abilities of the base did not believe that the old leader would die so easily, thinking that he and Si Huaixi used despicable means to kill the old leader for the position of the leader of the Lucheng base. At first, they were very afraid to defy them. As for the reason they explained that the old leader made a major mistake, they were maliciously distorted to discredit the old leader.

Cao Leipeng was really hard to say at the time, but in any case, the old leader killed the supernatural power to take the crystal nucleus and this thing must not be exposed to the world, for fear that the really unruly supernatural power would imitate these things.

The base does not need to be attacked by zombies, and the panic and distrust of the surrounding people by the insiders alone is enough to make the base self-destruct.

After the Lucheng base really developed, Cao Leipeng felt that the dark incident of murdering the compatriots in the previous two years would not happen again.

Cao Leipeng sighed softly and said, "It's all over, and the Lucheng base will become better."

Si Huaixi's stagnant eyebrows were slightly loose, and the lighted smoke brushed his cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Yeah."

Of course, Cao Leipeng came here for more than just these things. His stale national character face couldn’t hide his joy. He said with excitement, “Not long ago, the supernatural player of the transport team accidentally exchanged materials for a Tier 8 thunder element. Crystal nucleus, after absorbing it a few days ago, I recently had a vague feeling that I was about to break through the eighth level. I would like to ask Si Huaixi to help me see the base for a while."

Si Huaixi's expression eased slightly, her tightly pressed thin lips raised a small smile and said, "Okay, just let my sister-in-law make a delicious meal at that time."

Cao Lei and Peng Changliang laughed and said, "No problem, it's okay to do more meals. Your sister-in-law saw you here for dinner last time. I don’t know how happy it was. I think you took sweet and sour fish with you last time. You also liked it. Yes, your sister-in-law has cooked this dish every day for almost a week, and I am looking forward to your visit..."

Si Huaixi pursed his lips and thought of Pei Zhaozhou who was still immersed in the laboratory doing research. A trace of concern flashed under his eyes and asked Cao Leipeng, "Can my sister-in-law take me some food today?"

Cao Leipeng said without hesitation: "No problem, you can take as many as you want, but you took it away last time. I thought you were keeping food for yourself. Recently I heard that you are coming to the laboratory for What the other person wanted, that person also moved into your house, and it spread all over the base..."

Cao Leipeng coughed slightly, and he was rarely curious, and asked, "Did this bring him?"

Si Huaixi frowned slightly, feeling that there were so many people who were curious about this matter recently, and there were even more idlers strolling in front of his house.

Si Huaixi pursed her lips and said without concealing: "Well, Pei Zhaozhou lives in my house. If I have something to go out to the base someday, please ask Chief Cao to help me take care of him."

Cao Leipeng's eyes were stunned, and he felt that the sophisticated remarks just now weren't like the words that the commander who has always been arrogant and arrogant would say. He also came to ask him for the man named Pei Zhaozhou? ? ?

Hearing that even Si Huaixi needed his help, Cao Leipeng was inexplicably excited and enthusiasm. After a while, he was surprised and quickly said: "No problem! Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Cao Leipeng asked again: "Aren't you not traveling far recently?"

Si Huaixi's eyes were deep, and he lowered his voice and said, "I may go to the capital base after waiting for a while, and I hope you can keep it secret for me."

Cao Leipeng was very surprised. The capital base is more than two thousand kilometers away from here. There will be countless zombies on the road. You don’t need to go so far in exchange for supplies. Is there some in Sihuaixi? The reason why I have to go...

Thinking about it this way, Cao Leipeng suddenly realized something, his pupils were shocked, but he did not dare to ask Si Huaixi, for fear of revealing a trace of information that was noticed.

Wait until the funeral is over.

Si Huaixi and Cao Leipeng said, turned and left to go to the research institute where Pei Zhaozhou was located, with a helpless sigh in his heart.

If he doesn't go back, it is estimated that Pei Zhaozhou will not eat and sleep on time. However, he uses experiments as a reason, and Si Huaixi has been helpless with Pei Zhaozhou these days.

Since the "new generator" has just started, according to Pei Zhaozhou's accurate statement, he is not building a primary generator, but a new type of high-tech energy power machine called an "energy tower".

If this kind of "energy tower" machine can be successfully used in the Lucheng base, it can greatly transform the development of the Lucheng base, liberate most of the low-cost labor, and even use the special performance of the energy tower to make new weapons and powerful attackers. Robots, the replacement base is still relatively small, ordinary people and supernatural beings to participate in some dangerous work involving going to the wilderness.

Pei Zhaozhou was immersed in the laboratory and devoted himself to research. During these three days, he almost stayed up until dawn to make the ‘energy tower’. Originally, Pei Zhaozhou wanted to work endlessly, but Si Huaixi forced him to take home to rest.

As for the house rules to go home before seven o'clock...

When Si Huaixi wanted Pei Zhaozhou to go back and rest for a while, Pei Zhaozhou immediately said that the experiment was half done, and if he left suddenly, he might have lost all his previous efforts.

Si Huaixi had no choice but to stay up late with Pei Zhaozhou, and even after bringing Pei Zhaozhou home to sleep at ease, Si Huaixi had to go back to the laboratory by himself to see that Pei Zhaozhou said that the important material for making energy towers was "energy stability". Solvent'.

The'energy stabilizing solvent' is equivalent to the liquid that holds the electricity in the battery. The energy that can be contained in the energy tower made by Pei Zhaozhou is not just electricity. It can be transformed into a variety of energy forms, and the energy unit stored is even more. horrible.

Due to the crude environmental equipment during the experiment on the first day, there was no vacuum experiment platform, and the energy-stable solution made to contain energy would always be contaminated by some unknown microorganisms. Even if Pei Zhaozhou touched the solution bottle, it was most likely because he didn’t have it. Wear qualified sterile gloves, so that the energy-stable solution that took several hours to make is contaminated and discarded.

Pei Zhaozhou spent many experiments in the middle of the night and still failed to make a successful bottle of ‘energy-stable solvent’, and his amber platinum-gold eyes were red with anxiousness.

Although Si Huaixi had expectations for the ‘energy tower’ that Pei Zhaozhou said, he did not have much hope, but Pei Zhaozhou gave him a laboratory if he asked for it.

It can be seen that Pei Zhaozhou worked so hard to make him a new machine to replace the old engine, and he refused to leave even in the early hours of the night.

Si Huaixi choked with unspeakable complexity in her heart, and distressed and pity filled her eyes.

After learning the reason for the failure of Pei Zhaozhou's experiment, Si Huaixi personally built a sterile laboratory bench.

As for how to build it?

Si Huaixi's mental power manipulation can theoretically reach an extremely fine level, but in fact, Si Huaixi has not tried to be so precise, nor does it need to be that level in actual life struggles.

It's just that that night Si Huaixi used mental energy to pick out bacteria, microorganisms, viruses, fine dust all night for Pei Zhaozhou...

Pei Zhaozhou used the aseptic operation table for cultivating the ‘energy-stable solvent’ to be built, and subsequent experiments were also successful.

When Si Huaixi was slowing down, the sea-blue eyes became dry and swollen, the eye nerves that were overworked always felt twitching and painful, and the screen was full of floating bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms.

Until the third day.

Pei Zhaozhou's experiment is progressing smoothly. After the successful production of the "energy-stable solvent", it will not easily deteriorate, and there is no need to continue to let Si Huaixi use mental energy to maintain the aseptic operating table.

Si Huaixi came out to let out a sigh of relief, to soothe the exhausted brain with excessive mental energy, and deal with some affairs by the way.

It was just not long after going out, Si Huaixi missed Pei Zhaozhou who was still in the laboratory again, and planned to go back again.

After returning to the laboratory, the old professors of the institute told Si Huaixi that Pei Zhaozhou had already gone out and said to find something.

Si Huaixi had no choice but to stay alone in the laboratory, looking at Gao Li's huge glass container containing the fluorescent green solution, which is the result of Pei Zhaozhou's hard work over the past few days.

The sea-blue eyes were filled with a touch of loss and melancholy. He held his beautifully contoured chin and sat quietly in the laboratory to help Pei Zhaozhou take care of the ‘energy tower’, waiting for a long and boring time.

—Maomao, where did you go?

Little did he know that Pei Zhaozhou was talking to a girl who was not so good-looking but delicate.

In a forest in the Lucheng base.

Pei Zhaozhou is looking for more suitable plants to fill in the lack of an ‘energy stabilizing solution’ that is restricted by the preconditions.

Plants, animals, and human bodies are naturally energy storage containers, and the most primitive ‘energy stabilizing solution’ is also synthesized by extracting the juice from plants.

Therefore, Pei Zhaozhou intends to find suitable plant extracts to add to the laboratory's energy tower to make the composition of the solution more stable.

Wisdom Brain Silver Arc has an analytical function. Pei Zhaozhou is constantly searching for suitable plants in the woods. After searching for more than a dozen plants, the Wisdom Brain Silver Arc vetoed them.

When Pei Zhaozhou was thinking about whether to venture to the wilderness outside the base to find more suitable plant materials, the brain silver arc suddenly sounded.

Wisdom Brain Silver Arc: [Master! I found a suitable plant to serve as an ‘energy stabilizing solution’! 】

Pei Zhaozhou immediately asked in surprise, "Where?"

Wisdom Brain Silver Arc: [Master, in the hands of the woman in front! 】

Pei Zhaozhou took a look in the direction of the silver arc of the brain.

I actually found a female supernatural person of the wood element, driving the supernatural power to continuously catalyze the growth of a seed, until the seed buried in the soil took root and matured so that green leaves emerged.

The wood female supernatural person grabbed Green Leaf's head and pulled out a big white radish.

With bright green leaves, white and plump radishes look fatter than ordinary white radishes, and they are very appetizing at first glance.

Pei Zhaozhou walked over and spoke: "Hello, can you sell your white radish to me? I can pay you a suitable payment."

The female supernatural person of the wood family is not very tall but has a pretty face. Facing Pei Zhaozhou's friendly inquiry, she showed extremely vigilant and even a little panic eyes.

"What are you talking about?! I'm not a supernatural person! I won't sell this carrot to you!"

The female supernatural person showed vigilance, and yelled at Pei Zhaozhou impatiently in an uneasy tone.

"You have a problem with your eyes! Hurry up and stay away from me. This radish was originally planted in the ground. I didn't make it..."

Pei Zhaozhou felt very puzzled in his heart, why this wood-type female supernatural person would deny that this radish was the fact that she had planted it.

But without letting Pei Zhaozhou want to understand, the female supernatural person left hastily, for fear that Pei Zhaozhou would chase her in panic.

Pei Zhaozhou frowned more suspiciously.
