Chapter 35
"Excellent!" Deputy Base Commander Qian's smile grew more genuine. "If they have any requests, we'll do our best to meet them."
Finally, remembering something, he added, "Also, how was the one we caught yesterday? Remember to keep an eye on it for me. I like lightning-type creatures."
"Don't worry, we've put an energy suppression ring on him and taken everything from him. He won't have a chance to escape."
Deputy Base Commander Qian nodded. "That's good, but we still need to keep a close watch on him. That guy named Xiang is quite unorthodox."
Thunder element, surnamed Xiang, a bit weird... Combining these key information, Gu Qi immediately thought of someone.
Xiang Haoyu.
If the person Deputy Base Commander Qian was talking about was really Xiang Haoyu, then it would explain why in his previous life, after Deputy Base Commander Qian became Base Commander Qian, he led his men to quietly leave Hope Base, and afterwards tried every means to target this former partner, which eventually led to the destruction of Hope Base.
Perhaps, from the very beginning in his previous life, Deputy Base Commander Qian did not regard Xiang Haoyu as a partner, but rather as a temporary tool.
After looking at Deputy Base Commander Qian and others who were not shy in walking on the street, Gu Qi stopped and did not follow them, but walked towards the alley on the side.
Whether it is really as she guessed, she will find out after finding out.
Among the people following Deputy Base Commander Qian, someone looked around in confusion. It was really strange. Although his supernatural power did not detect any supernatural power fluctuations approaching, his intuition gave him a vague feeling that something was wrong.
The strange feeling was just fleeting. After looking around and finding nothing unusual, the man thought he was hallucinating because he hadn't rested for too long.
Gu Qi, who had already walked into the alley, looked back and swept his eyes over the man. He thought to himself that it was no wonder that Deputy Base Commander Qian was so bold. It turned out that there was such a special type of psychic here.
Gu Qi asked with his consciousness: "Jiucang, have you determined the location of the spatial jade button?"
"It's in the central area of this base, Aqi, you guessed right."
When Gu Qi went deeper into the alley and there were no other people around, Jiu Cang came out of the cave and landed on Gu Qi's shoulder: "Aqi, do you want to go over and take a look now?"
"Send me there now."
Of course I have to take a look. It's a good opportunity to find out what kind of research Deputy Base Commander Qian is doing.
Jiu Cang would never refuse Gu Qi's request, and this time was no exception.
However, before being transferred through the space, Jiucang gently warned: "Aqi, remember to be careful. I vaguely sense the aura of the Forbidden Spirit Stone over there."
Forbidden Spirit Stone?
Gu Qi raised her brows slightly, thinking of the energy suppression ring that Deputy Base Commander Qian's subordinate had just mentioned. It seemed that her guess was correct. It was indeed the "suppression" of suppression, not the "superpower" of superpower.
In an underground research institute somewhere in the center of the base.
In a narrow room, Xiang Haoyu fell to the ground with a look of disbelief on his face, muttering to himself.
"how so?"
"Impossible, there's no way I could end up like this."
"Why can't it be summoned?"
He reached out and tugged at the black metal ring around his neck again, using all his strength but unable to budge it at all. Instead, he became increasingly weaker, as if his strength was being sucked away invisibly.
A trace of despair appeared on Xiang Haoyu's face.
This was the first time he felt helpless after the end of the world. His supernatural powers were useless, his strength was sucked away, and even his most important trump card was in trouble.
He had clearly tried it before. Even if the peace jade buckle was not with him, the space jade buckle would return to his hands as long as he thought about it. Why doesn't it work now?
Could it be the black metal ring around his neck that was causing the problem? Xiang Haoyu once again considered this possibility. Could it be that the people at this research institute had upgraded it? Otherwise, why was he able to recall the Space Jade Buckle last time when he wore the same metal ring, but not now?
But he could clearly feel that the connection between himself and the Peace Jade Buckle was still there, and it didn't seem like a supernatural power that was blocked.
Xiang Haoyu didn't want to think about it, but now he had to consider another possibility.
Not long ago, the peace jade buckle had a crack because it helped him ward off disasters. Could it be that the jade buckle was damaged that is why he can't summon it now?
If this is really the reason, then he really has no hope of escaping from this institute.
If it was because of the metal ring, then he still had a chance. He remembered that the last time he saw those people, they would take off the metal rings on the experimental subjects before conducting the final experiment.
But if it was the latter... Xiang Haoyu didn't want to think about it, nor did he want to believe that he would really end up like this.
When Xiang Haoyu was doubting his life, a man suddenly appeared in the warehouse of the underground research institute.
A person who looks exactly like Xiang Haoyu.
This person is naturally Gu Qi in disguise.
Enduring the dizziness caused by the spatial teleportation, she looked up and carefully surveyed her surroundings. Sure enough, she saw more than a dozen surveillance cameras installed on the wall. These were the ones that were visible, and there were probably more surveillance cameras hidden in the dark.
This warehouse is not big, less than 100 square meters, but there are quite a few things piled up inside.
When Gu Qi saw the things piled up in the corner of the warehouse, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Obsidian!
Wood-type spiritual ore can be used to refine weapons, make pills, and can also be worn directly on the body to enhance affinity with wood-type spiritual energy.
She actually saw a bunch of wooden obsidian stones that were sold by the gram in the world of immortal cultivation here!
Looking to the side, there are several level four mutant plants with relatively intact root systems. At this time, they can reach level four, so their potential is not too bad.
It’s a pity that the crystal cores have been dug out so that the vitality is almost dissipated.
But it doesn't matter.
As long as the roots are still there, as long as there is a little bit of upgrade, it can be revived by returning to the cave planting area and watering it with spiritual well water. As long as it can survive, the crystal core and other things can slowly re-condense.
If it cannot be saved, she can use it to test its medicinal properties and see if it can replace some spiritual plants in the world of immortal cultivation.
In addition to these, Gu Qi also found many other types of spiritual ores in this warehouse, as well as some level three mutant plants, but these were completely lifeless and there was no possibility of saving them.
There were also quite a few corpses of mutant beasts, some of which showed signs of having been used.
Gu Qi also found several boxes of crystal cores, which were packed in safes in different categories, ranging from level one to level four. Putting them together looked quite dazzling.
There are also some seeds containing energy, which are obviously the seeds of mutant plants. After all, ordinary seeds do not contain any energy at all.
“There are still eggs?”
When he opened a box and saw what was inside, Gu Qi exclaimed in surprise, and then put the egg, which was of unknown substance, into the cave.
Like her appearance, her voice was also disguised to be exactly the same as Xiang Haoyu's, so she could speak directly without worrying about being noticed.
Gu Qi was extremely fast and robbed the entire warehouse in less than five minutes, including several walls made of forbidden spirit stones. At the same time, the spiritual jadeite in her waist bag was also used up.
With a fulfilling harvest, she gave a very provocative smile to the surveillance camera and her figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
Just at this moment, the warehouse door was opened.
The people who rushed in were dumbfounded when they saw the empty warehouse. Didn’t they say someone had sneaked into the warehouse?
Where are the people?
A breeze blew past their heads without anyone noticing, passing quickly through the institute.
Gu Qi saw many people locked up in small rooms, including ordinary people and those with special abilities.
Some of the rooms are quite special. Instead of humans, they contain mutated plants, animals, and zombies.
Gu Qi also saw several laboratories where researchers with indifferent expressions were conducting experiments. The experimental subjects included humans, mutant creatures, and zombies.
Among them is an acquaintance: Liu Yun.
It was a relatively large laboratory. Gu Qi heard the researchers call the middle-aged man with a crazy look in his eyes Dr. Jia.
In addition to Liu Yun in the laboratory, the person lying next to Liu Yun also made Gu Qi feel somewhat familiar.
His face is somewhat similar to that of Qian Chaoduo, the sucker who spent a third-level crystal core to buy a tomato.
This young man looked a few years older than Qian Chaoduo. Gu Qi guessed that this man might be the son of Deputy Base Commander Qian's first wife.
In his previous life, I heard that he died accidentally at the claws of a mutant beast. Now it seems that dying from a mutant beast is false, and dying in an experiment may be the truth.
After exploring the entire underground research institute, Gu Qi finally hid his body and used the wall-walking technique to enter the laboratory where Liu Yun was.
The last time she saw them, Liu Yun and the young man were both in a state of having their skulls opened, with very weak breaths of life.
The researchers' eyes were all fixed on the young man. From time to time, they fiddled with the surrounding instruments and said things like "the initial fusion was successful" and "the life breath of experimental subject No. 1 is becoming stable."
When Gu Qi returned here again, Liu Yun's life breath was weaker than before, but her mental fluctuations were greater than before, and it seemed that she had regained consciousness.
