Chapter 134 How shameless, I love it!
Chen Mingzhang looked up and saw that the sky seemed to have opened up, with torrential rain pouring down, and the snow that had been piled up on the ground was being washed away, creating cracks.
Rainwater continued to seep into the ground, and Chen Mingzhang's gaze became solemn.
As soon as Lu Yize and the others returned to the base, they heard the sound of rain pouring down outside. The mountain was being washed away, and large areas of snow that had been clinging to the mountain rolled off.
Seeing them return, Fan Jian and the others jogged over, asking, "Are you alright?"
"fine."
Fan Jian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but was then startled by a loud noise outside the base. He said with lingering fear, "Luckily you came back in time, otherwise this rain could have washed people and dogs away together."
Xian Wenrui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Brother Lu, should we reinforce the base's defenses? Although we've already reinforced it, the way things are outside gives me the feeling that they're going to uproot us."
"Do some special treatment on the ventilation openings, and strengthen the protection of other areas." As soon as Lu Yize finished speaking, Xian Wenrui and Fan Jian immediately ran out to do as he said.
Lu Yize turned to Zhang Wenjing and asked, "Where is that superpower core?"
Zhang Wenjing reached out and took out the increasingly weakened supernatural core. Lu Yize noticed that Dong Hong's aura had weakened even more, but he was still alive.
After obtaining the ability core, a sea beast tens of meters long suddenly fell from the sky above the base. This second-tier sea beast had just been caught from the sea, and its crystal core had been extracted.
Lu Yize immobilized the sea monster's body and then inserted Dong Hong's superpower core into it. Dong Hong still tried to escape, but this time Lu Yize didn't give him a chance to move.
Lu Yize used his supernatural abilities to bind and restrain it, blocking it outside the base and forming a dam to impede the flow of water.
Bound and unable to move or escape, Dong Hong, at the second level, couldn't even self-destruct his ability core. He could only be constantly washed by the rain, the sharp rain piercing his body, causing Dong Hong to struggle and roar in pain.
Jiang Yue frowned. It was too noisy. Her superpower suddenly invaded Dong Hong's brain, severing his nerves. Dong Hong's mind jolted, and pain spread instantly. He was in so much pain that he couldn't utter a word.
The torrential rain lasted for ten days and showed no signs of stopping, turning the area outside the base into a vast expanse of water.
Fortunately, with the second-tier alien beast that Dong Hong had transformed into, the water in their base only seeped in, reaching a depth above their knees.
Dong Hong deserves praise for his tenacity; he's still alive.
Xian Wenrui and the others moved to the second floor, as their original residence was now submerged in water.
"I don't know when this rain will stop."
Xian Wenrui manipulated the water within the base, draining the water that had seeped into it. This was also part of his cultivation process—clearing his supernatural abilities, absorbing crystal cores, and repeating the process continuously.
For the past ten days, Lu Yize and the others have been seizing every moment to cultivate at the base, not even having time to sleep. Because of the abundance of crystal cores, their cultivation results have been remarkable.
Fan Jian and Zhang Wenjing are both in the second stage of advancement and haven't come out yet. Xian Wenrui is happy for them but also a little anxious.
He has no shortage of crystal cores, but he can't absorb them as quickly as others, so he's still at level one. Even Fan Jian, who awakened his superpowers later than him, is advancing, but he's still making no progress.
Lu Yize used his mental power to scan the situation of Xian Wenrui's ability core. Of the twenty-one ability core fragments, he had already lit up thirteen of them. In fact, this speed was not slow for him.
However, since the others were in better mental condition than him, Lu Yize couldn't do anything about it, but he did give Xian Wenrui two ability storage rings.
"Brother Lu?"
"Here are a plant-type ability storage ring and a fire-type ability storage ring. Take them, just in case."
"I…"
"Keep it, there's no rush."
Lu Yize wasn't good at persuading people, and he always spoke with that deadpan expression.
Holding the two storage rings, Xian Wenrui felt uneasy, as if he was holding the team back.
Lu Yize didn't give him time to overthink, and pointed to the storage ring in Xian Wenrui's hand, "The storage ring has many uses. If you have time, study it and see if you can replicate their technology."
After hearing this, Xian Wenrui hissed. Stealing someone else's technique like that is shameless and I like it.
Especially for someone like him with weak superpowers, if he could make a few superpower storage rings to store Lu Ge's superpowers, he would most likely be able to save his life.
"Okay, I'll go right now!" Xian Wenrui instantly regained his energy.
Just as she finished her advancement and was out looking for food, Zhang Wenjing heard his words. She was slurping noodles with her plate in hand and asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"
"Go and study storage rings."
Zhang Wenjing's eyes lit up immediately. "Include me? That's interesting."
"Sure, Sister Jing, could you use your special ability to invade someone else's brain and copy some blueprints over?" Xian Wenrui rubbed his hands expectantly.
"Do you think I don't want to? But these things are kept very secret, you can't see them. You'll have to figure it out yourself."
Zhang Wenjing spoke these words with noodles still in her mouth, making her speech unclear.
"Pity."
"Who says it isn't?"
Fifteen years after the apocalypse, superpower storage rings have gradually disappeared, and there are not many left, so Lu Yize does not have any first-hand information.
Xian Wenrui's mind was now in a state of excitement as he had a sudden burst of inspiration. "You said that the current storage ring is too low-level. It can only absorb and release supernatural energy, and there might even be some losses in the process. We can definitely carry out a wave of upgrades and modifications."
"For example, attaching superpowers to weapons, and like we talked about before, mechs, right? Combining superpowers with mechs, wouldn't that mean you could wipe out a whole bunch of zombies and monsters in one go?!"
Zhang Wenjing is a pragmatic person who makes accurate judgments: "They haven't even learned to walk yet, but they're already thinking about flying. Let's figure out this storage ring first before talking about anything else."
Xian Wenrui snapped out of his mecha dream, scratching his head and chuckling sheepishly, "That's true."
As Lu Yize listened to Xian Wenrui's words, he also sensed something was amiss. What Xian Wenrui could think of, the top talents of Donggu Base or other bases could not possibly not have thought of.
However, in the fifteen years since the apocalypse, not to mention mechs, even basic things like storage rings have never existed. The mechs that were created in the early days of the apocalypse were abandoned without any progress.
Lu Yize's heart sank little by little, and a bad premonition arose inexplicably.
Hopefully, he's overthinking it.
Fan Jian's voice interrupted Lu Yize's thoughts. A hoarse quack echoed on the ground, "Food, is there any more food? I'm starving to death! My God, have I evolved into a starving ghost?"
Xian Wenrui and Zhang Wenjing stopped arguing, turned around, and looked down at Fan Jian, who was writhing on the ground, pale, thin, and haggard.
"Holy crap... how did you advance to this level?"
Xian Wenrui was afraid that Fan Jian would become the first person in history to starve to death because of his advancement, so he quickly went to get him some food.
After a few mouthfuls of noodle soup, Fan Jiancai came back to life, letting out a long sigh of relief and saying with a smile, "That was close, I almost starved to death."
