Chapter 331 Mineral Essence

"How about we brothers go with them?" Ji Yinen said. He was about to have a child before, but after the end of the world, his wife who was seven months pregnant died in an accident, and the child naturally could not be born. This was the pain of his life, and he couldn't help but feel heartbroken every time he saw the child.

Ji Yineng and the others are all capable, steady, responsible, and have a sense of mission. It's not a bad idea to have them accompany you. "Okay, but you have to come back to sleep in an hour at most. If you dare to disobey me, there will be no next time, understand?"

"Got it," the kids responded obediently, wishing they could run away.

Lan Shiruo rubbed his head and looked at Ji Yineng and the others, "Thank you for your hard work. Don't spoil them too much. Come back after a visit and rest early."

"Don't worry, boss. We understand."

The cubs took their own animals and left with Ji Yineng and the others. Wang Hu and Nie Liangbao came over and said, "Boss, shall we go and ask around?"

"Well, go ahead." Actually, they didn't need to do that; He Lian could tell by just listening. But to prevent these people from sleeping at night, they just let them do what they wanted.

After sending these people away, the couple went into the space to continue working, while the other friends took a rest.

It was so noisy outside that even though we were some distance away, we couldn't sleep. That night, except for Lan Shiruo and Ao Chengyi who had a good rest in the space, no one else got much sleep.

She was woken early by the increasingly lively noises. The kids had been excited all night, and early in the morning they were chattering about the fun things that happened last night in front of Lan Shiruo. To Lan Shiruo, there was really nothing funny, but seeing the kids' excited faces, she smiled along, and a little bit of sadness came to her heart. She thought, just wait a little longer, there will always be a day of peace and prosperity.

During breakfast, Wang Hu and Nie Liangbao came over excitedly, "Great news, bosses."

My friend ate calmly and asked, "What's the good news?"

Wang Hu spoke before Nie Liangbao could, "Several ore mountains in V City collapsed due to an earthquake some time ago, creating a huge, deep hole. Inside the hole appeared something that wasn't gold, jade, or stone. Although no one knew what it was, it was obvious it was something valuable. The collapse was so loud that it wasn't just known to V City, but also to teams from other security bases. Then the news spread, and many people came. Even the combined efforts of the major security bases in Chenzhou couldn't stop them. Now it's all up to each person to get the treasure. Many people are trying to show off their skills and get the treasure. But so far, no one has succeeded."

Wang Hu was talking excitedly, and his friends also became interested. "Why can't I get it? Is the hole too deep? Or is the thing too big?"

"No," Nie Liangbao was the first to get ahead. Wang Hu glared at him but said nothing. Nie Liangbao raised his chin proudly. "The hole is quite deep, but for humans, any hole is not a problem. That thing isn't big, just the size of a fist. You can't get it because it's hot. Extremely hot. No matter what tools or abilities you use, you can't get it out. And you don't dare get too close to the hole. The heat is too intense and you can't bear it."

"It's hot?" The friend was quite surprised. The reason was simple and unpretentious.

Lan Shiruo touched her chin, as if in deep thought. Ao Chengyi glanced at his young wife and knew that she must be an insider, and that this thing must be a treasure.

"Tell me."

Ao Chengyi's two words successfully drew the attention of the little friend to Lan Shiruo.

Lan Shiruo smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, it's really a big treasure."

"What big baby?" Everyone shouted in unison, attracting many younger brothers to come over. The young beasts also became interested, listening with their big eyes wide open. Baby?

"Mineral."

"What the hell?"

"Mineral essence, in the apocalyptic environment, in a specific geographical location, material combination, and mutation, breeds a new species. Like metal minerals, it can be forged. However, it is harder than any other metal mineral and very flexible. These two extreme properties are not contradictory in this creature. Most importantly, it also has another characteristic, which is its ability to recognize its master. Similar to contracted beasts, a piece of mineral essence is an individual. No matter what form it is made into in the future, it will form a contract with its first owner. This contract is a bond of supernatural attributes. To a certain extent, it will be endowed with the supernatural powers or abilities of its first owner. As the owner becomes stronger, the supernatural will also become stronger. For supernatural users like Taozi, who must use external objects as weapons, weapons made from mineral essence are most suitable. They can be used in combat even against high-level zombies, unlike the previous iron hammer, which would be as weak as bean dregs against high-level zombies."

In a previous life, mineral essences had appeared, too. One could fetch a stratospheric price, attracting a frenzy of scramble. However, by the time Lan Shiruo saw them, she had already become a ghost, and could only watch from Ao Chengyi's side. Therefore, it was unclear where they first appeared.

Ao Chengyi spent a huge amount of money to buy a few for the men around him, but he didn't want them himself.

Oh my god, my friends are so excited! They all need weapons like this. "Isn't it said to be hot? How do I make it? How do I forge it?"

Lan Shiruo smiled, "You should know that human wisdom is endless and we can always find a way."

That’s right, when humans become powerful, even they themselves are afraid of them.

"Then let's hurry up. What if someone comes up with a solution and we go too late to get a share?" Wang Hu was very anxious. Baby, oh, baby.

Lan Shiruo nodded and said, "Go ahead, let all the brothers go. Whoever gets it will keep it. There is no need to hand it over to the government. We should help each other and avoid internal strife."

Wang Hu calmed down and looked at the big team eagerly, "Aren't the bosses going?"

"Yes."

"Then let's go together." The younger brothers looked at the big team with sparkling eyes.

Lu Chaoyang said, "If you go with us, you will have to hand over everything you get. We will have the final say on how to divide it. There may only be a few or a dozen pills left, and we will definitely use them ourselves. There won't be any for you."

"No problem." The younger brothers nodded decisively.

The friend raised an eyebrow, and He Lian said, "But if you go on your own, what you get is yours."

"Let's go with the boss." The younger brothers firmly believed that only by following the boss could they have meat to eat, and they were determined not to act alone.

The whole team laughed at this group of weirdos. Looking around, even Ji Yineng, who should have been very independent, was determined to tag along. The little friend had no choice but, "Okay, let's all go together and pack up our things. We probably won't be back later." After they got the things, they had to leave immediately to avoid being killed and robbed.

Yes, Lan Shiruo was very confident that she could obtain the mineral essence. After all, someone who had lived an extra life could not know less than others.

She knew how to get the mineral essence. Although it was different from the others' methods in her previous life, and she didn't have their methods, they had a lively person in their team. She could leave this to Comrade Hanjia. Besides, it seemed that Bingchan could also do it.
