"Stop accusing me! Don't tell me about the hope of the base or the hope of mankind. I am an old man who is half buried in the ground. I can't be the hope of others if I live today but not tomorrow. Even if you get a bruise on your lips today, this thing takes time and it can't be done quickly."
Mr. Zhai was indifferent. He had lived for so many years and heard so many nice things. How could he be fooled by a few words?
"Besides, even if I develop this medicine, it is essentially a toxin. It is burdensome to the human body. Ordinary people cannot use it at all. Only those with gifted physique can afford it."
Director Fan sighed and continued, "There is an energy stone in the body of the turbid beast. Did you know about this?"
"I know, what's the problem?" Although Mr. Zhai was not a gifted person, it was not as if he was completely unaware of something that everyone knew.
"Some organizations are creating turbid beasts to mass-produce energy stones."
When Director Fan dropped this bomb, even Old Zhai was shocked. "Are they crazy? The turbid beasts are contagious! No grass can grow on the land they pollute!"
"Yes, it's crazy. These people will do anything to get energy stones. They are capable of doing anything crazy. If they have enough energy stones and get ahead of us, the consequences will be disastrous. Mr. Zhai, we can't delay any longer. Energy stones are now strategic resources and we have to fight for them."
"These people are simply courting their own destruction!" Old Zhai looked extremely unhappy. "I'll do it as soon as possible! But I have to make it clear first, there is no time to do experiments in such a short time. I can't say if there will be any sequelae."
"The base will thank you for your contribution!" Director Fan was overjoyed. He grabbed Zhai's hand and shook it back and forth. He was so happy that he couldn't help but said, "Don't worry, I will definitely arrange half a chicken for you!"
"Hmph, you still haven't fulfilled your promise to give me half a pound of pork belly and two pounds of cornmeal last time!" Old Zhai pulled his hand away in disgust.
On one side where the two were talking, in a transparent glass laboratory, the frogs that Ji He and his team brought back last time were being kept here, and a special person was responsible for extracting the poison.
Their toxins are the raw materials for heat-generating items.
According to the images seen by those with precognitive gifts, with the potion made from frog poison, people can move freely on the ground without fear of the severe cold.
…
The day after the message was sent, the entrance to the base's underground city was opened, and a team of fully armed talented people walked out.
They are the vanguard sent by the base.
The 50 billion boss said there was an energy stone in the ice column, but he didn't say how to find it, so they still had to find a way themselves.
A group of talented people used props, and something like a jet appeared under their feet, carrying them into the sky.
It was the first time for some of them to use it and they were not very skilled. It took them a while to adjust their body shape in the air.
They maneuvered the jet higher and higher, heading straight into the clouds and gradually disappearing.
Ji He just went downstairs carrying a shovel.
I saw a few people wearing thick black down jackets, flying into the clouds with glowing feet.
She raised an eyebrow.
You move pretty fast.
Just after selling the news, he came out to look for energy stones at dawn the next day?
There are many icicles above the base, and Ji He did not take away all the energy stones inside.
She only took half and left the rest to the base.
The rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its nest.
It's impossible for her to just fleece the base, right?
"If you ask me, our base is really wicked. They insisted on making us come down to clear the snow! Isn't this delaying our acquisition of the energy stone?"
"It doesn't snow early, and it doesn't snow late. We can get the energy stone now. It snows, and it's annoying, isn't it?"
"The base is bullying people, why don't they let those people underground come up and sweep the snow!"
"Do you dare to go? You have wings? Didn't you see the one that was frozen into an ice sculpture yesterday? The corpse was already hard. If you are not afraid of death, then go."
"Do you know that wealth and honor can only be achieved through risk? Why take a risk for the energy stone? Didn't you know that a big brother got the energy stone yesterday? He has become rich!"
"Yes, they all had their limbs amputated! They cost me my life!"
"Hey, have you heard that there are talented people from the A City base coming here..."
When Ji He heard this, something moved his mind.
Coming here at this time?
Is there anything wrong?
She wanted to listen to what the two people had to say, but that person just said this and turned back to the energy stone.
Obviously, the attention paid to the talented people in City A is not as great as the attraction of energy stones.
Ji He: “…”
You two keep talking, why don't you say anything?
How can snow sweeping be as important as gossip?
God is interesting too.
It hadn't snowed for several days, but as soon as the news of 50 billion was sent out, it started snowing again.
The base did not mind the hard work and went door to door to notify every household and asked them to send someone to sweep the snow.
Even though the talented people didn't want to come, they still came for the sake of bean cakes.
Ji He is not.
She came here to listen to gossip.
She felt a little bored after being locked in the room for a long time, without any contact with others and only listening to the ball talking.
I came here for no other purpose than to see the people and absorb the atmosphere.
…
On the other side, the talented person who flew to the base in the sky used a series of methods and added various props, and finally succeeded in exploring the mist on an icicle.
It turned out to be empty.
What's going on?
They did not give up and turned around to start searching for the second one.
My luck was pretty good this time. Although I wasted a lot of props, I still managed to get a C-level energy stone.
So they concluded that the information was correct.
Not every icicle contains an energy stone; it depends on luck.
Holding the energy stones in their hands and feeling their bodies frozen stiff, the few people did not delay and flew down quickly, ready to return to the base to report.
Their mission this time is not to obtain a large number of energy stones, but to verify the credibility of this matter. The base will be responsible for this later.
In the following period of time, all major bases fell into madness, using various means to obtain energy stones.
When they found out that the news about 50 billion was true, they changed their previous disdain and felt that the distance between the icicles above their heads was still too far.
I wish all the icicles could be together.
But not all bases have this capability.
Some small bases have no way to deal with these icicles.
Knowing that there is a power stone in the icicle and being able to obtain the power stone are two different things.
The temperature inside the icicle is far more than minus 100 degrees Celsius. If you dare to reach out without protection, amputation may be the best option, but you will lose your life.
Moreover, the energy stone in the white mist is not sitting there waiting for you to catch it.
