Chapter 383 The Truth of the Times



Chen Wangping asked, "And then?"

Qian Duoduo said, "Then I bought it at the scrap metal price of sixteen copper coins. Wow, it's been three years, and that person hasn't come to redeem it. He must have been scamming me. Luckily, the scrap metal price has increased in the past two years, so sixteen copper coins isn't a loss. If you hadn't asked, I wouldn't have even remembered this."

While thinking about what the man said, Chen Wangping squatted down and prepared to take apart the little thing to see what was inside.

Just as he squatted down, he suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that there seemed to be some light on the corpse of the thunderworm.

He turned around and told Qian Duoduo to go out and count the losses and repair the things damaged in the battle.

Qian Duoduo responded and left.

Chen Wangping put the little thing away, walked to the side of the lightning bugs, used a stick to push away the few surviving lightning bugs, and reached out to pick up the three blood crystals that were emitting a purple and red mixed system light.

These three blood crystals are small, about the size of grapes.

【Thunderworm Blood Crystal】

【Purpose: Improve resistance】

[Special Effect - Lightning Insulation: After integrating lightning energy, it can increase the body's resistance to lightning energy from other sources by 1%, with a maximum of 20%]

[Note: The Thunder Eater is a specially bred insect, and there are many of its kind.]

After reading the special effects and notes, Chen Wangping shook his head. He first flipped his hand and used lightning energy to draw in the three lightning insect blood crystals.

After a while, the absorption of the lightning insect blood crystal was completed, and he could clearly feel that his body had gained some resistance.

Looking at the few surviving thunderworms, Chen Wangping thought for a moment and decided to simply raise them first, and then kill them when there were more of them to get some thunderworm blood crystals.

Anyway, even if this thing spreads, I have a way to solve it.

Of course, you can't raise it here.

Chen Wangping called the golden eagle, left Leilong City, and headed towards Fangshan Town.

On the way, in order to prevent being followed, he changed his clothes and bathed his whole body in lightning energy.

After this baptism, Chen Wangping indeed found that some insects had been contaminated on his shoes at some point. Fortunately, they were burnt to death after being baptized by the lightning energy.

"This Lin Dao Huo Hammer is really troublesome. We can't always be so passive. We have to find a chance to kill one of them."

After returning to Fangshan Town Base.

As soon as Chen Wangping entered the formation, he looked up and suddenly found that there were reddish spots of light about the size of millet floating above Tang Xihe's room.

The feeling of this light spot is similar to the light spot of people's hearts that he had absorbed before, except that the color is different and the size is smaller.

Following the location of the reddish light spots, Chen Wangping discovered that these light spots were coming from outside the base, or even from the south outside the town.

Although there were few spots of light, they were continuous, one after another, pouring into Tang Xihe.

Chen Wangping smiled.

This is a good thing.

The south is the direction of the Fire Source. He guessed that these things might have been arranged by Tang Xihe's grandfather, the third elder of the Fire Source.

I heard from Tang Huoniu before that the Third Elder is a peak level six expert himself, and he must have known what he needs to accumulate to advance from level five to level six.

Now it seems that he had been secretly making preparations for Tang Xihe.

"It seems that the situation in the Land of Fire is not that bad."

Chen Wangping relaxed a little. He first walked to the edge of the coal mine at the base, took out a pickaxe and manually dug a rock pit. He then carefully arranged steel plates around the rock pit to make it a closed structure, leaving a huge copper busbar at the top for conduction.

Then he took out the thunderworms and threw them in.

After the bumpy ride, these lightning-eating insects looked restless and weak, as if they would soon die without lightning energy.

Chen Wangping closed the large steel box and pulled a wire from the power grid directly to the copper busbar.

After the power was turned on, the lightning bugs immediately felt the electric current, climbed onto the copper bus, and swallowed the electricity in big gulps.

Since there is no oil, the oil refineries and chemical plants are not in operation yet, so the territory currently has relatively abundant electricity, so it is no problem to raise some lightning bugs.

Speaking of oil, this is also a concern for Chen Wangping. He has arranged Qian Duoduo to inquire about the black oil in the past few days, but this thing has no value at all in the eyes of ordinary people. On the contrary, it is highly toxic. He has not been able to get any information for a while and needs to look for it again.

Gathering his thoughts, Chen Wangping walked to the manufacturing table, took out the small thing and put it on it, selected the analysis function, and arranged for the manufacturing table to be disassembled.

The robotic arm of the manufacturing table swung quickly, precisely unscrewed the screws on it, and disassembled it.

After removing the outer shell, Chen Wangping could confirm that this thing was just a simple drone. Its circuit board was very simple and the traces of soldering were obvious. However, it could be seen that the person who did the soldering was an old hand and there was no solder leakage. Some of the components on the circuit board had rusted and the battery was leaking. It was obvious that the motherboard was ruined.

Continuing his research, he helplessly discovered that this drone was not wireless. There was an interface for transmitting video signals on its circuit board, and the interface cable looked like it had been bitten off by something, with obvious teeth marks. Based on Chen Wangping's experience, it was most likely caused by an insect bite.

"A wired drone? A bug bite?"

Combine that person's words with your own recent experiences.

Chen Wangping vaguely felt that there seemed to be some force in this wasteland that was deliberately suppressing the emergence of mechanical creations. Whether it was guns, cannons or even grenades, these things were abandoned by mainstream thinking.

Everyone yearns to become a person with super powers. Without awakening super powers, one can only be a servant and live a miserable life.

For example, if I don’t take care of those people in Leilong City, the City Lord Long will definitely not care either. If they die, they die.

Doesn’t Lord Long know that he needs to win over the people’s hearts?

Definitely not.

But he felt that the hearts of these ordinary people were useless, and if he had to win them over, he would focus on those with special abilities.

However, Chen Wangping learned a lot and saw a lot from the insect tide in Huoniu City.

Only guns and artillery can tirelessly and continuously kill insects.

Only bullets and artillery shells can enable ordinary people to exert powerful lethality.

Superpowers?

Facing an endless swarm of insects, if you run out of energy, you can only wait for death!

It would be a mistake to give up firearms completely.

Chen Wangping looked up and seemed to see that the forces secretly supported by the Zerg were like insects that could get into any house, gnawing holes everywhere in the world.

It now appears that the nuclear bomb detonated two hundred years ago may have seemed successful, but in fact it may have failed.

He looked at Leilong City and made up his mind secretly.

We must eliminate the Zerg forces in the city, and then train all the civilians in the city who are worth training into strong soldiers!

The war with the Zerg is far from over.
