Chapter 186 Full of Mysteries
Wu Ming climbed off the roof of the car, glanced at the black cube in Meng Shiwan's arms, and said, "I'll take you up."
Meng Shiwan followed behind him. "I have a question. The seed base is currently covered by a canopy, so it's pitch black inside and relies entirely on electric lighting. It must consume a lot of electricity, right?"
I can understand it now; the sun is very strong during the day, and solar power generation is very powerful.
However, with the arrival of acid rain, solar energy cannot be used, not to mention various wind power generation methods. Acid rain directly corrodes the system, and the power supply may be disrupted.
Generating electricity with a generator consumes a lot of energy.
Wu Ming touched his nose. "The base has made the latest research, which can convert the lightning of lightning-type abilities into stable electricity."
Meng Shiwan: ...
Lightning-type superpowers can be used like this?
What did she say before? That having superpowers is very practical when applied to daily life.
I never expected that lightning-type superpowers would have to become power banks.
Wu Ming took Meng Shiwan into the elevator and pressed the button for the eighth floor.
When the elevator doors opened again, a series of simple offices came into view.
Wu Ming led her to knock on the innermost door. "Base Commander, Meng Shiwan is here."
The frosted glass door opened quickly from the inside, and a middle-aged man extended his hand to Meng Shiwan. "Hello, my name is Wei Jianguo, and I am the base commander. Please come in."
Meng Shiwan shook hands with him, gave a polite smile, and then walked into the office.
The office was simple, with a large desk piled high with documents.
There is a sofa and a tea table for receiving guests nearby.
Wei Jianguo invited Meng Shiwan to sit down and made her a cup of tea. "I've long heard that Ms. Meng is a very capable person, but I didn't expect her to be so young when I met her today."
He was very enthusiastic, but you could hear the deep weariness in his voice.
Wu Ming closed the office door and left.
Meng Shiwan placed the black cube on a corner of the tea table and sized up the person in front of her.
He was a middle-aged man with a dignified square face and a buzz cut that revealed a few specks of gray hair.
He looked very tired, with dark circles under his eyes, showing that he had been working very hard lately.
He possesses a rare quality, giving people a sense of composure and reliability.
Meng Shiwan didn't drink the tea; she went straight to the point, "Did Meng Qingyue leave any message?"
Meng Qingyue traveled back in time and told the base about the various natural disasters that would occur in the future, so that the base could prepare in advance.
He told her the apocalypse was a setup, and before she could ask any more questions, he died.
He left her with a whole host of mysteries.
Meng Shiwan thought that perhaps Meng Qingyue left some words while she was at the base, from which some important information could be obtained.
Wei Jianguo stood up, took an envelope from his desk, and handed it to Meng Shiwan. "This was left by Meng Qingyue."
Meng Shiwan took the envelope, opened it, and inside were two white A4 sheets of paper with blue ballpoint pen handwriting, the strokes of which were somewhat wild.
The strokes extend at the end, making the characters look somewhat wild and unruly.
Meng Shiwan remembered that Meng Qingyue's handwriting used to be delicate and pretty; when did it change to this style?
There's a lot written on it.
It outlines the natural disasters that will occur in the next ten years, and their approximate timelines.
She wrote about how to make the ability-enhancing fluid, but because she didn't understand chemistry, her description was rather vague, though it still has some reference value.
However, the ability-enhancing fluid produced is definitely not as pure as that produced by the system.
He also wrote...
Meng Shiwan brought the paper closer; at the end, there was only one sentence, written in larger characters than the others.
'Collecting all the black cubes will trigger this automatically.'
This statement is vague; it doesn't say how many black cubes you need to collect, nor does it say what will be triggered.
She only gave one piece of information: collect all the black cubes to trigger the event.
She made no mention of the so-called "scheme" she spoke of, or her experiences over the ten years of the apocalypse.
Meng Shiwan guessed that if Meng Qingyue had written it down, this envelope would not have existed until now.
Just like on the rooftop of the central hospital, she was killed after uttering only one sentence.
Someone is watching her. Who killed Meng Qingyue?
What exactly caused the zombie outbreak and the apocalypse?
What is the purpose of the black cubes? What will happen when they are all collected?
Where did the system come from? In her past life, she followed Meng Qingyue, and in this life, she follows her. What is the secret of the system?
These issues remain to be resolved.
It seems that as long as the answers to these questions are figured out, the truth will come to light.
Meng Shiwan thought of someone: the wind-elemental ability user who stole the black cube.
She asked Wei Jianguo, "How much do you know about the Chuangyuan Base?"
Wei Jianguo pondered, "Not much. We only know that they also have power-enhancing fluid, which is very pure. Their base is strictly controlled and they rarely interact with the outside world. We know very little about the internal affairs of the Chuangyuan Base. Currently, we don't even know who the leaders who established the Chuangyuan Base are."
Meng Shiwan pondered, realizing that this Chuangyuan Base was a breakthrough point.
They knew of the existence of the Black Cube, yet they still came to steal it, and they even had the power-enhancing fluid produced by the system.
They must have a lot of information about this apocalyptic world.
Perhaps the answer can be found at the Innovation Base.
Seeing that Meng Shiwan remained silent, Wei Jianguo asked, "Did you reincarnate several years after the apocalypse?"
"Hmm?" Meng Shiwan looked up at him, somewhat surprised.
Wei Jianguo forced a smile. "Don't be nervous. We mean you no harm. The seed base is also searching for the cause of the apocalypse, hoping to end this disaster."
Your personality changed drastically on the day of the zombie outbreak. Given Meng Qingyue's case, it's not hard to guess that you are also a reincarnated person.
Meng Shiwan sighed, realizing that the power of the Seed Base should not be underestimated. It was likely that the Seed Base had already thoroughly analyzed all the abnormalities in her body.
"In the three years of the apocalypse, my past life is not of much reference value. I was just an ordinary person in the seed base, trying to survive every day. Meng Qingyue wrote down all the natural disasters she experienced. In the end, she died in a horde of zombies when she went out to find supplies."
Wei Jianguo frowned in thought, "Why would an ordinary person be reborn?"
Meng Qingyue is a space-based ability user. She lived through the apocalypse for ten years, so her ability level should be quite high. It is possible that she could be reborn through some means or by using other abilities.
But why would an ordinary person from the bottom of society, who can't even come into contact with people with superpowers, be reborn?
Meng Shiwan said helplessly, "I also really want to know why I wasn't completely dead."
There were so many problems and mysteries waiting to be solved, and Meng Shiwan was having a headache.
The conversation was stalled, so Wei Jianguo changed the subject, asking, "What are your true abilities?"
Meng Shiwan raised an eyebrow, “Special ability replication.”
Wei Jianguo laughed and said, "No, that's not it. You can copy other people's abilities, there's no doubt about that, but your real ability isn't that."
How do you manage to build that indestructible RV? Where does the endless supply of pure power-enhancing fluid come from? Why can your spatial realm be used for farming, and why is its climate independent and unaffected by external weather?
Before you even managed to replicate Meng Qingyue's spatial abilities, you had already stockpiled a massive amount of supplies that the RV simply couldn't possibly hold.
These are your true abilities, not superpowers, then what are they?
