Mou Xuan returned to the alliance base with a full load and was immediately welcomed like a hero.

The alliance members surrounded him, excitedly discussing the uses of the new material.

"Boss, you are so awesome!"

"With these materials, we can create more powerful weapons!"

"The end of the world? Haha, who dares to mess with us in the future!"

Looking at everyone's excited expressions, Mou Xuan's mouth corners slightly raised, and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"Boss, Miss Shen has been waiting for you." A member suddenly said.

Mou Xuan turned his head and saw Chen Yao standing not far away, staring at him intently...

In the alliance base, when Mou Xuan's figure appeared, it was like he had his own halo, instantly lighting up the entire space.

"Brother Xuan, you are our hope!" An excited researcher almost knelt down to Mou Xuan.

At this moment, a beautiful figure came running towards them, bringing with her a fragrant breeze and endless admiration.

"Brother Xuan!" Chen Yao threw herself directly into Mou Xuan's arms, hugging him tightly, as if she wanted to rub him into her body.

Mou Xuan's mouth corners slightly raised, and he gently hugged Chen Yao, feeling her soft body.

The single guys around felt like they had received tons of hurt in an instant and they covered their eyes, saying that this dog food was too filling.

The air was filled with the sour smell of love and the stench of the end of the world, which actually seemed a bit romantic.

"Okay, okay, so many people are watching us." Mou Xuan patted Chen Yao's back gently, signaling her to stop.

Chen Yao then reluctantly came out of Mou Xuan's arms, with a blush on her pretty face, making her even more charming.

However, before everyone could recover from this sweet atmosphere, Engineer Ren brought bad news: "Oh no! The energy core of the experimental equipment burned out! We can't do research now!"

The originally jubilant research laboratory was suddenly poured with a bucket of cold water, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

Without experimental equipment, everything is empty talk.

"This...what should I do?" Scientist Kong stamped his feet anxiously. His fragile little heart could not withstand such a blow.

Experimenter Yi turned pale with fright, fearing that he would be held accountable.

Mou Xuan frowned

"It must be repaired as soon as possible!" Mou Xuan said firmly, his voice was not loud but full of power.

"But the energy core has burned out, so it's basically hopeless!" Engineer Ren said helplessly. A good cook cannot cook without rice. Without the core, no matter how many ideas he had, they would be useless.

"How do you know if you don't try?" Mou Xuan's eyes were firm. He would never give up any hope.

"I'll find a way."

After saying that, Mou Xuan turned and walked out of the laboratory, leaving behind a determined back.

Chen Yao followed him silently.

On the night of the end of the world, the cold wind howled like an invisible hand, tearing the ruined city apart.

Mou Xuan stood on the observation tower of the base, looking into the distance.

"Brother Xuan, what are you thinking about?" Chen Yao walked to him and asked softly.

"I'm wondering where I can get the energy core." Mou Xuan sighed, with a hint of fatigue in his tone.

Chen Yao looked at him with pity, knowing how heavy the burden on his shoulders was.

Suddenly, Mou Xuan's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

He turned around and took Shen Yao's hand.

"Let's go find Lao K."

"What do you want to see him for?" Chen Yao was a little confused.

"He is well-informed and may know where the energy core is..."
