Wang Tiefeng said earnestly, "Mr. Bai, I still advise you not to take the risk..."
Jiang Wu interrupted him, smiling slightly, "Colonel Wang, I've made up my mind, no need to persuade me."
He glanced at the massive robot parked in place and asked, "Also, I'd like to ask you, how skilled is Chen Guodong in the field of mechanics? Do you have any more talented people here who specialize in robotics than him?"
Jiang Wu made a decision: he must establish a department to research large-scale robots.
Huaxia Revival possesses a large number of bones, hides, and scales of level 3 evolved beasts.
These things are all incredibly hard.
Some of the leather and scales are especially thick!
Even evolved beings find it difficult to use.
It can only be attempted to be installed on heavy equipment such as tanks and heavy trucks for defense.
However, with the proliferation of mutated plants, equipment that requires the road surface to be as flat as possible is becoming less and less useful.
It can only be used in certain specific situations.
For example, urban warfare.
Or they could set up a formation and wait for the zombie horde to charge.
But what if we had large robots?
Even if their movements are slow, even if they are not very agile.
However, as long as we use the materials from these level three or even level four mutated beasts, we can guarantee its defense.
It's much safer to enter the mutated forest!
If we could equip them with heavy weapons, they would become mobile firepower platforms!
If equipped with weapons such as a level four sloth claw blade that is over ten meters long, it would be an even more lethal weapon!
In addition, these robots can also serve as transportation vehicles!
Even troop transport vehicles.
Wang Tiefeng sighed and shook his head, then said without hesitation, "Chen Fengzi was a genius and expert in this field before the disaster, and now no one can match him!"
"So even if his current research is not very useful, the base still supports his research, hoping that one day he can develop better robots and add a bit of soft power to the future of mankind."
Jiang Wu smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Not long after, Chen Guodong returned, having changed his clothes.
He was wearing a brand-new black cotton-padded jacket, dark blue work pants, and a pair of gleaming military boots. His hair was also simply combed.
Although the fatigue and dejection in his eyes were still there, he looked much more energetic than before when he was covered in oil.
He strode up to Jiang Wu and Wang Tiefeng, dusted himself off, and looked at Wang Tiefeng, saying firmly, "Colonel Wang, if you want to come along, you'll have to pay for it yourself. I don't have any extra crystal cores to treat you."
Wang Tiefeng's lips twitched, and he nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm just accompanying Mr. Bai, how could I let you spend money?"
Jiang Wu casually said, "Colonel Wang, if you have official business to attend to, you don't need to keep me company."
But Wang Tiefeng shook his head, his tone firm: "No! Mr. Bai, you are a distinguished guest of our base and the benefactor who saved my soldiers. How can I let you go by yourself? Today I must accompany you properly and let you feel the sincerity of our base."
Seeing Wang Tiefeng's resolute attitude, Jiang Wu no longer refused and could only accept this hospitality.
He secretly wondered whether this was Wang Tiefeng's personal intention or the intention of the base's higher-ups.
However, one thing is certain: it is highly likely that they value themselves so much because of Xiao Jin.
The three walked along the street toward Longfeng Tower. Along the way, Wang Tiefeng kept introducing the buildings and the surroundings to Jiang Wu.
Chen Guodong chimed in from the side, occasionally grumbling about the base's rules, creating a relaxed atmosphere.
At this moment, he was no longer insane; he was perfectly normal.
"The Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion is just ahead."
After walking for about twenty minutes, Wang Tiefeng pointed to a magnificent golden building in front of him and said.
Jiang Wu looked up.
It was a ten-story building with its exterior covered in gold tiles that shimmered in the setting sun.
The building's main gate is made of rosewood and is carved with auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns.
A group of bodyguards or waiters in black suits stood at the entrance.
They were all tall and had sharp eyes.
As a Level 4 Evolver, Jiang Wu has developed a strong sensitivity to mysterious substances.
He could sense that two people were still emanating faint energy (mysterious substance) fluctuations, clearly indicating that they were evolved beings.
Wang Tiefeng continued, "This Longfenglou used to be a famous five-star hotel in Beijing. After the disaster, it was taken over by the base's top expert, 'Dragon King,' and after renovation, it became the base's most luxurious restaurant."
"The ingredients used inside are not ordinary; most of them are mutated beasts, or some specially cultivated or collected mutated plants and insects. Not only do they taste incredibly delicious, but long-term consumption is also beneficial for strengthening the body."
"Of course, the price is also extremely expensive. Ordinary people simply cannot afford it. There are very few dishes that can be paid for with food coupons. Most of them are made with crystal cores."
Jiang Wu nodded thoughtfully.
As you enter the lobby, a scent that blends various food aromas with a hint of sandalwood wafts towards you.
The interior decoration was extremely luxurious, or rather... a distorted luxury set against a post-apocalyptic backdrop.
The walls are inlaid with large, uncarved pieces of jade as decoration, and the counters and chairs are heavily edged with gold.
Various sparkling jewels and luxury watches are casually displayed in glass cases like ordinary decorations.
They're everywhere!
Fully loaded!
These were all very expensive items before the disaster, but they have lost their value now.
But the sheer scale of its use at this moment is still quite spectacular.
It also makes the whole space look glittering and precious.
There weren't many people dining here, but they were all well-dressed and had an impressive air about them.
Some were accompanied by imposing guards, while others chatted and laughed as if no one else was around; they were clearly upper-middle-level figures or powerful evolved beings in the base.
When they saw Wang Tiefeng enter, they merely nodded slightly in acknowledgment, their gazes falling more on the uniquely charismatic Jiang Wu and the somewhat out-of-place Chen Guodong.
Just as the waiter was leading them to a window seat, a commotion came from the bottom of the stairs.
A group of people were surrounding a figure as he walked down from upstairs.
Surrounded in the middle was an extremely aloof and beautiful woman.
She was tall, over 1.7 meters, and wore a well-tailored dark red leather armor that perfectly accentuated her curvaceous and alluring figure.
Her face was exquisite, with long, sharp phoenix eyes and an indifferent gaze, as if nothing could stir her emotions.
Her long, jet-black hair was simply tied back, revealing her smooth forehead and slender neck.
She exuded a powerful aura that made the noisy surroundings unconsciously quiet down.
Wang Tiefeng's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously stepped aside to make way.
He then quickly, almost in a whisper, reminded Jiang Wu: "Mr. Bai, look down, don't keep staring at her... That's 'Blood Rose,' the second-best fighter in the base, and she also owns shares in the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion... She's extremely... ruthless and reckless."
