The base gates opened, and a cheer erupted as people eagerly emerged to see Xia He and her entourage returning victorious.
In an instant, cheers, applause, and shouts blended into a lively atmosphere. People excitedly crowded together, and many gave Xia He and Xiao Lin a thumbs-up to express their heartfelt admiration.
Along with the two little ones, they were also surrounded in the middle. Although the panda had grown bigger now, it was actually still a little dog under two years old. It had never seen such a scene before. It moved its huge body and tried to crawl into Xia He's arms. Tang Yuan looked at this unfilial son from the side and showed a contemptuous expression.
Seeing this, Xia He said to Xiao Lin, "I'm taking the two little ones back to my room. Call me if you need anything later."
Xiao Lin nodded to indicate that he understood, and then led the superhumans to the conference room. "After the battle just now, you can feel the gap in your strength, right? The current mutated animals are far stronger than us humans. We must be on high alert and work hard to improve our strength so that we can live well in the apocalypse."
Just as Xiao Lin was holding a debriefing meeting for everyone, Hai Dong rushed over and said, "Boss, when they were processing the wild boar carcass in the kitchen, this fell out of the boar's brain."
Xiao Lin took the item from Hai Dong's hand and discovered that it contained immense spiritual power. Xiao Lin used his spiritual power to sense it and found that the energy within could be directly absorbed, but the power was complex and not pure.
He said, "Take this to Dr. Fu. I can sense the powerful energy it contains. It might be able to provide energy for those with superpowers, but the energy is very complex and cannot be used directly. Go ask Dr. Fu if he has any ideas."
Hai Dong delivered the discovered item to Dr. Fu's laboratory. Dr. Fu took the item, examined it carefully, and revealed a look of surprise.
"This is a mutated crystal core. It contains extremely rich supernatural energy, and the properties of this energy are very suitable for supplying the energy needs of supernatural beings," Dr. Fu said excitedly.
Hai Dong nodded, then asked, "So how do we use it?"
After a moment's thought, Dr. Fu said, "I can extract the energy from it and make it into a special energy source. Once the superhuman implants it into their body, it will provide purer and more powerful energy. This will have a significant effect on the superhuman's improvement."
Dr. Fu added, "Of course, the preparation process may be quite complicated and will require some auxiliary materials, which I will prepare as soon as possible. Before that, I suggest that the superhumans rest and adjust their condition appropriately."
Hai Dong nodded in agreement, looked at Dr. Fu gratefully, and then left the laboratory.
Meanwhile, in the base's canteen, the kitchen staff had already cleaned up the wild boar. Some of it was transferred to the points mall to be sold with points, while the rest was put back into the canteen as food supplies.
Xiao Lin had already instructed the kitchen to prepare a victory celebration banquet for the participants today.
Xiao Lin went to Xia He's room and knocked on the door. "Xia He, are you there?"
Xia He was happily snacking and watching TV with her three little ones on the sofa when Xiao Lin's voice interrupted her. Xia He opened the door and asked, "What do you want?"
Xiao Lin said, “There’s a celebration banquet going on at the base today. I’ve come to call you down for dinner, since you’re a key player.”
Xia He pondered for a moment and then said, "Okay, let's go."
Xia He didn't want to go at first, but then she thought that they would inevitably go on missions together later, so she went along. Xiao Hua heard that there would be a celebration banquet, and she also clamored, "I want to go too!"
So Xia He, along with the three of them, followed Xiao Lin to the cafeteria.
Upon entering the canteen, you are greeted by the rich aroma of roasted meat. The long table is filled with various delicious dishes made from wild boar, and everyone sits around it with satisfied and joyful smiles on their faces.
Xia He, Xiao Lin, Hai Dong, and other key members of the fighting force sat at one table. The two small animals were also taken care of meticulously and were loved by many people, becoming part of the banquet.
Xiao Lin said, "It's been a long time since everyone has eaten pork, so let's eat as much as we want today!" Upon hearing this, everyone reached out their hands to the food on the table. The roasted wild boar meat on the table was fragrant and cooked to perfection, emitting an enticing aroma that made people's mouths water.
The atmosphere at the banquet was lively, filled with laughter and conversation.
Some people burst into tears while eating, saying, "I haven't eaten pork in a long time. I'm getting nauseous from eating maggots every day. Normal food tastes so good."
Everyone sighed with emotion. This celebration banquet was not only to celebrate the victory, but also to alleviate the hardships of everyone's life in the apocalypse.
The food on the table was devoured one dish at a time, and a satisfied atmosphere filled the air.
After the banquet, everyone left with a full load of goodies and in high spirits.
As Xiao Lin watched Xia He about to leave, he said, "Today we found a crystal core in the wild boar's brain. I sensed it, and there was a strong spiritual energy fluctuation inside the crystal core, but the power was very complex. Dr. Fu said he could solve the problem of purifying the power."
Upon hearing this, Xia He asked, "Then can we use that crystal core too?"
Xiao Lin said, "I don't know the specifics either. We can only wait until Dr. Fu has developed it before we can say anything."
Xia He nodded, indicating that she understood, and then turned to leave.
Xiao Lin followed Xia He the whole way, until Xia He couldn't take it anymore and said, "Why are you following me like this?!"
Xiao Lin looked completely innocent. "I'm going home too. We're going the same way."
Upon hearing this, Xia He shut her mouth, and a silence filled the air.
As they neared home, Xiao Lin finally couldn't help but speak up, "Um, Xia He, I'm almost out of food at home."
Xia He said, "You used to exchange them with spirit stones, but now spirit stones don't work anymore."
Xiao Lin fell silent for a moment, because he didn't know what he could use to exchange for food with Xia He.
Seeing Xiao Lin's embarrassed expression, Xia He found it extremely funny and burst into laughter, saying, "Just kidding. Considering how much you helped me before, I'll make it up to you."
So Xia He followed Xiao Lin to his room, took out food from her spatial storage, filled the refrigerator with supplies for Xiao Lin, and also took out several large boxes of snacks.
After Xia He returned to her room, Xiao Hua said, "Oh, why are you suddenly being so nice to that thing?"
"I only did it because I felt sorry for him."
Xiao Hua spoke in a sinister tone, "Really? Why do I feel like your kindness towards him is abnormal?"
Xia He chose to remain silent, then pondered for a moment before speaking, "After all, we'll still need him to do hard labor later, so we should treat those who do the work better. After all, I can't be some heartless capitalist!"
Xiao Hua looked at Xia He with a scrutinizing gaze. Xia He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "This is so annoying. I'm going back to my room to sleep. You should go back to your space! Don't bother me!"
