Volume 5: The Destruction of the Gods Chapter 47: Red Water District
In this transaction just now, Shen Jin consumed 2 million kWh of electricity, which was quite appropriate and lower than he had imagined. He had just transported a lot of goods and people had moved back and forth dozens of times. It was definitely much more cost-effective than sending people by helicopter from Tianluodiwang. Shen Jin was now very wealthy, with an electricity generation of more than 100 million kWh a day, so he didn't care about this drizzle. The main thing was... it was also convenient to leave a passage at the Tianluodiwang headquarters. This transaction between the two sides was just a test. The demand for a comprehensive fight against zombies could definitely not be met by just 200,000 [Crystal Core Bombs] and 10,000 bottles of medicine. There would be more transactions in the future, and crystal cores from various regions would be continuously transported to Shen Jin, and then exchanged for materials that could enhance the combat effectiveness of all the extraordinary people in Tianluodiwang.
However, from this small trial transaction, Shen Jin earned a profit of 500,000 crystal cores!
The profit is 100%, you earn as much as you sell!
"As expected... business is still very profitable! How many days will it take for my men to get 500,000 crystal cores? We can get everything by trading with Tianluodiwang... I have to make new rules for them in the future and get some first- and second-level crystal cores. This is what my troops will need in the future!"
The first- and second-level crystal cores can be exchanged for [Primary Superpower Enhancement Potion], [Superpower Advanced Potion] (1→2), and [Intermediate Superpower Enhancement Potion]. Step by step, all of his troops will become second-level advanced extraordinary people!
"In fact, the main reason is that they are short of second-order crystal cores... Then let them prepare second-order crystal cores next time!"
In a monopoly industry, whatever the supplier says is the truth.
After finishing the transaction on Tianluodiwang's side, Shen Jin suddenly remembered that Shang Qian asked him to go to the Hongshui Bay base to build some more power generation facilities and build a large wireless charging station. Because the two sides are more than 100 kilometers apart, with the successful construction of the sea bridge, ordinary people can drive trams back and forth, but with more people charging, the power load is large, and there are no wireless charging facilities. Many charging piles for new energy vehicles have been damaged, resulting in the problem of difficulty in charging there.
Moreover, the electricity supply there was very limited before, with only more than a dozen wind turbines, which were enough for the daily electricity use of the people there. By the way, the Hongshui Bay base now has 40,000 people, almost double the number before he left. Shen Jin took Sun Li and others who had just returned from the Tianluodiwang to the cross-sea bridge. This is a grand project!
Even with Shen Jin's block-based ability, designing a 130-kilometer bridge is still a huge problem. Without those architects, Shen Jin couldn't build it using the system, unless... he built a solid bridge and filled the sea all the way across.
Shen Jin and 11 other people fell down. He took out two [magnetization machines] and placed them at the entrances on both sides of the bridge. There were already 2-meter-high [stone fences] on both sides of the bridge as barriers , so they would not fall even if they stood next to them.
Then he took out several boxes of pre-made [iron fences] and [insulated copper wires] and distributed them to everyone, "You lay them along both sides all the way to the Red Water Bay Base. I will leave several [magnetizers] in the middle. You connect the fences and wires!"
"clear!"
Sun Li and his team are an old construction team. The [magnetizer] can charge the [iron fence] connected to it within a range of 5,000 meters, magnetize the metal objects on it, and transfer them along the route to the end of the [iron fence]. Therefore, Shen Jin only needs to place two [magnetizers] every 5 kilometers to arrange round-trip routes on both sides of the bridge. The [magnetizers] must be placed in reverse to ensure that one goes to the Hongshui Bay base and the other goes to the No. 1 Home Base.
This thing does not consume much electricity, and it will go into hibernation when there are no metal objects on it. Shen Jin only needs to use ordinary [insulated copper wire] to connect to the power grid of Home No. 1. Shen Jin placed 27 [magnetizers] on each side before he completed covering this cross-sea bridge.
Sun Li and the others were still placing [iron fences] and electrical wires behind him, but Shen Jin did not wait for them and went straight to the Hongshui Bay Base. The two cities, which were once separated by the sea... and could not even see each other, no longer had any distance issues. At least for Shen Jin's team of extraordinary people, using [electric jet packs] it was only a 10-minute journey.
After the [magnetizer] route is laid, ordinary people can also travel back and forth quickly on it. They just need to put some [mine carts] on it, or wear metal armor and stand directly on it to move quickly, which is much faster than [railway].
"This has a bit of a cyberpunk feel to it..."
Shen Jin walked to the headquarters of the Hongshui Bay Base, where he used to live. There was also a fishing platform here with a pink hut on it that was specifically used for psychological counseling.
"Hey... the daily tasks used to only give 5 [World Coins] and a [Resource Pack] a day, but I worked very hard every day. Now 5 [World Coins] are just a matter of a few breaths. Breathe... Okay, 6 [World Coins] now!"
The extraordinary people from Home No. 1 have already started killing in Hulu City, so they will continuously provide Shen Jin with [World Currency]. Before the zombies completely form a group, Shen Jin wants to take over Hulu City. This... is his first stop in the northeast, and it is also an important part of his future strategy.
Walking in the headquarters of the Hongshui Bay Base , Shen Jin also saw his former workshop and residence. They were both ordinary matchboxes. There were no other buildings around. They remained the same as when he left. He pushed open the door and went in. It was spotless.
Shen Jin guessed that Zhao Chao had arranged for someone to clean the house every day. Suddenly, Shen Jin heard footsteps in the room next door. "Huh? Is there someone else living here?"
Shen Jin walked over quietly and saw Mu Yan opening the door to hang clothes...
Their eyes met, "Pah!"
The clothes drying basin fell to the ground, and the clothes were scattered all over the floor...
Shen Jin thought for a moment before he remembered who the beautiful woman in front of him was. She was the star before the apocalypse - Mu Yan. Shen Jin recognized her mainly because of her distinctive big breasts. Even though she was wearing home clothes, she couldn't hide her good figure. Before the apocalypse, this was Mu Yan's most eye-catching artist label.
"Jin...Brother Jin!" Mu Yan shouted in surprise and disbelief.
"Um!"
Shen Jin didn't know what to say for a moment. He rescued Mu Yan from the three evil superhumans in Q City. She had suffered a lot of insults at the hands of those people. After arriving at the Hongshui Bay Base, she was arranged to cook and clean with Shen Mengmeng. Occasionally... she would perform some exciting projects with Shen Mengmeng and invite him to the house to watch, which could be regarded as satisfying Shen Jin's star complex before the end of the world. However, under Shang Qian's control, nothing would happen.
Mu Yan reached out to tidy up the hair beside his ears and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since we last saw you, Brother Jin. When the bridge was opened to traffic last time, we went to No. 1 Home to look for you. Unfortunately... we didn't get to talk. You were too busy!"
Yeah... haven't seen it for a long time.
In this scene, Shen Jin seemed to have returned to the time when he had just escaped from the zombie tide in Q City, with no one to turn to and had to start from scratch...
Everything vanished, leaving only the seriously injured himself and the unconscious Shang Qian. Then he got his first matchbox, a simple wall, saved some abused women, and met Spider-Man Zhu Dan. Then, in the form of a pseudo-superhuman, he designed to kill three superhumans and saved a group of poor women who were locked in a dormitory with "rbq" written on it. It was at that time that he saved Mu Yan.
By the way, we also recruited nearby residents into this base, and Shen Mengmeng came here on her own initiative.
"Sister Yan, who are you talking to?"
The tall Shen Mengmeng walked out of the house, with straight long legs, A4 slim waist, perfect body proportions, and the special charm of a dancer, exuding youthful vitality.
Shen Jin smiled and said, "Shen Mengmeng, I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been these past few months?"
"Ah! Brother Jin!"
Shen Mengmeng screamed and rushed towards Shen Jin, "Ouch~!"
Shen Jin had no choice but to catch her, but Shen Mengmeng wrapped her legs around his waist and refused to get off. "Brother Jin! It's been a long time since you came here. I missed you so much! Last time I told you that we had choreographed a new dance, and you said you would come to watch it if you had the chance. Who knew that this opportunity would be three months later..."
Shen Mengmeng leaned over and talked in Shen Jin's ear. A girlish scent emanated from her and reached Shen Jin's nose. It was a special smell, different for everyone. Shen Jin felt a clean fragrance, like a passionate red lily, which made people feel happy.
Mu Yan looked at Shen Mengmeng with envy. She didn't do such a thing, perhaps because she didn't have the drive of a little girl anymore, or maybe she knew Shen Jin's current status and didn't dare to be so presumptuous, or maybe she wanted to maintain the style of a star, increase her sense of dignity, and show that she was not such a casual person...
Because of thinking it over and over again, he ended up being inferior and not as straightforward as Shen Mengmeng.
After Shen Jin hugged her for a while, he pulled her off his body. For a third-level transcendent to say that he was caught in a surprise attack, it would be better to say that... he didn't even try to hide.
After Shen Mengmeng came down, her face was slightly red, but her eyes were shining: "Brother Jin, are you taking us to Home No. 1 this time? I see there are a lot of job opportunities there. If you like me to be at home, I can help you with some logistics work. I cook delicious food! If you like to watch performances or something, I can help you bring out a beautiful dance team, and rehearse girl group dances, home dances, etc. for you. I guarantee it will be awesome!"
Mu Yan shook her head. She could tell that Shen Jin was just passing by...
"Brother Jin, Mengmeng is just more lively, please don't mind it!"
Shen Jin looked at the two girls who were obviously interested in him, and sighed inwardly, unable to bear it.
It's not that he has a virgin complex or anything, nor is it because Shang Qian and Li Moxiao are on guard against him every day. He can just keep his beauties to himself. It only takes more than 10 minutes to come here anyway. The main reason is... he doesn't want to have too many ties. Shen Jin has always known that he is a man who values friendship. Once he accepts both of them, he will definitely be responsible for their future and help them move in a better direction.
In the past, Shen Jin might have reluctantly gone into the room and slept in the same bed for an exciting game, but... ever since he knew that he had been chosen by the system as the savior, there has been an invisible pressure pushing him forward, and he is no longer relaxed, no longer sentimental, and can't even lie comfortably in the room like before and enjoy his time playing games alone.
Wait until all the zombies are cleared out, then... reward yourself with one of Master Luo’s multiplayer sports projects.
Shen Jin smiled and touched Shen Mengmeng's head. "If you want to go to Home No. 1, go to Home No. 1. I will have someone arrange a place for you to live. You have followed me for a long time. The future... belongs to the extraordinary people. You two should join my team of extraordinary people. Then I will assign you to the guards. How about it?"
Extraordinary person...huh?
Mu Yan and Shen Mengmeng were both shocked. When the second zombie-killing team was first established, all the recruits were women. They were among the recruits, but they gave up the opportunity on their own initiative because they didn't want to go out and kill zombies. They just wanted to cling to Shen Jin's thighs and live a life of ease and comfort until the end of the world.
If the sky falls, there are men to hold it up. It doesn't matter if these two weak women get involved. They can just practice dancing and put on some passionate little shows. Isn't that nice?
Then Shen Jin never ate them both, and soon went to Q City, rarely coming back here.
So the two of them would often discuss, if... they had chosen to become extraordinary people at that time, would there have been a different ending?
Today, the opportunity to choose came again. Mu Yan took a deep breath and said, "Brother Jin, I am willing to become a transcendent and contribute to the base with my own abilities!"
Shen Mengmeng quickly followed suit: "I am willing to do so too! I want to become a superhuman! I want to follow Brother Jin to Home No. 1!"
This time, it was the first time for the two of them to talk to Shen Jin in these months. If they didn’t agree, they didn’t know when the next chance would be.
Shen Jin nodded with satisfaction, "Go pack up and follow me later..."
The two of them agreed heavily: "Yes!"
Shen Jin had known what they were thinking for a long time, but he had no chance to enjoy it...so he gave them a promising future.
Shen Jin left the small courtyard, and those old memories came back to his mind. He became the overlord of the two bases again .
Shen Jin inspected the Hongshui Bay Base and discovered many new buildings. The most eye-catching one was... a large shopping mall built by Shang Qian in the center of the Hongshui Bay Base!
It is 6 stories high and is filled with shops officially opened by the base, which basically replicates the one at Home No. 1. A branch of Academy No. 1 has also been built. Cultivating loyal talents has always been something that Shen Jin and Shang Qian value. People trained by their own school can basically be 100% trustworthy teammates after passing a polygraph test, and there is no need to worry about them backstabbing their own people. After Shen Jin finished touring the base, he flew over City D and made a big circle. He was surprised to find that the zombies in City D... were not many left!
And there is no full-blown zombie tide. It seems that with the efforts of the Hongshui Bay Base, the D City government and the Taoist priest, the cleanup is very fast. "Oh, right! There is also an organization of pure female supernaturals... It's interesting. They are much better than those people who could only fight on the Internet before the end of the world. At least they can use their power to make achievements and contributions, instead of hiding behind and talking nonsense!"
Those who only care about power and not obligations are hooligans!
Shen Jin passed by their settlement in the air. It was not a small place and was inhabited entirely by women.
Shen Jin did not stay for long. He returned to the Hongshui Bay Base and cooperated with Sun Li and others to build also added 10 [MFSU power storage boxes] to the power storage station at the Hongshui Bay Base, expanding the power storage capacity by 40 million kWh, helping to raise the power level of the entire city to a higher level. Finally, he built a new wireless charging station and buried 20 [MFE charging seats] in it. As long as power-consuming devices are placed on them, they will be automatically charged.
"There won't be any more power shortages now, right?"
After Shen Jin finished his work, he brought Shen Mengmeng and Mu Yan, who had packed up, to the cross-sea bridge, which was not far from Shen Jin's fishing platform. He got two sets of craftsman soul equipment for the two of them and asked them to put all the things into the [craftsman soul backpack]. Then he took out two [mine carts] and placed them on top of the [magnetizer]. The [mine carts] floated gently, just 1 cm above the magnetizer. If you don't look carefully, you would think they were next to each other, but in fact it was a magnetic levitation.
The two of them sat on the [mine cart] and said, "Hold on tight!"
Shen Jin gave a light push, and the two of them rushed out "whoosh", fast and steady!
If they did not manually interfere with the [mine cart] in the middle, it would take them both to the other end of the bridge, the exit of Home No. 1.
Shen Jin was floating in the air, looking at the two bases that had been completely connected. He suddenly thought of something and called Zhao Chao, "From now on... Hongshui Bay Base will be renamed Hongshui District and belong to the No. 1 Home District. You will serve as the first district chief of Hongshui District!"
"Yes! Boss! Hongshui District...what a good name!" Zhao Chao agreed readily.
But I also thought to myself… First term? Will there be a second and third term in the future? I must perform well and strive for re-election!
Zhao Chao didn't want to take this position at first, fearing that he, a rough guy, wouldn't be able to handle all the affairs of a base. But after sitting here for a few months, he felt very comfortable with it, and he didn't want to step down...
Power is a man's aphrodisiac, and this is absolutely true.
After defining the Hongshui Bay base as a district, Shen Jin flew back to the base. He still had a lot of materials to use. More machines, more electricity, more defenses, and more extraordinary people all needed him to plan.
…
Liu Jiannan was personally praised by the boss of Tianluodiwang today, because he used the trick of "asking for help from Shen Jin" in exchange for a large amount of supplies, which surprised everyone in Tianluodiwang. By the way, the current boss of Tianluodiwang is not Hu Shou. He is looking for a way to be promoted to the fourth level and has temporarily stepped down.
"So... you can get the boss's praise by being a gigolo? Chief Liu, I'd like to call you the king of gigolos!" Kong Long congratulated in a sarcastic tone.
Liu Jiannan didn't take it seriously at all and waved his hands quickly: "Thank you very much!"
Many colleagues praised him. They didn't know how Liu Jiannan got these bombs and potions. They only knew the result. Tianluodiwang finally had a better long-range weapon that could be used to deal with the zombie tides formed in various places, to guard more urban safe zones, and to protect more Chinese compatriots from being harmed by zombies. Finally, the people in Tianluodiwang's combat department were responsible for distributing 200,000 [Crystal Core Bombs] and 5,000 bottles of [Primary Superpower Awakening Potions] (Tianluodiwang called them "Super Superpower Awakening Potions"), and the laboratory was responsible for distributing 5,000 bottles of [Energy Serum]. The [Energy Serum] was still under research, and some experimental data had proved that it could neutralize the side effects of using "Energy Amplification Potions", allowing people to regain the possibility of being promoted to the second level.
Once they get the key experimental data and directly prove this result, it will set off a wave of Chinese extraordinary people being promoted to the second level!
The head of the combat department held 200,000 [Crystal Core Bombs] in his hand, and raised a cruel smile on his face: "Which city is in danger of being washed away by the zombie tide these days? We... should go out with new equipment and give the ugly zombies a head-on blow! This time it will be a devastating blow!"
With long-range throwing bombs, he has full confidence in his men.
Kong Long was constantly on the phone collecting crystal cores. The first batch of crystal cores were idle in the warehouse and could be transferred out at any time. If he wanted to exchange them with Shen Jin, he would need more crystal cores, which would not only have to be taken from the Tianluodiwang main warehouse, but also from the Tianluodiwang branches at the municipal level.
Liu Jiannan thought about it and called Shen Jin: "Colonel Shen, I, Old Liu, ah... can you sell us a few sets of your [Transporter]?"
"No, no deal!" Shen Jin hung up the phone directly.
“Ah…as expected!”
Liu Jiannan did have an expectation in mind that it would most likely not be sold. The technological content of this thing... might be so high that they couldn't even imagine it, right?
"A person with technological superpowers... this is outrageous! It seems like he is the only one in the country with this superpower?"
Yang Tianyao came closer and said, "Maybe... he is not a technological mutant? This is just a protective suit for us to see?"
Kong Long: "Ah this..."
Several people fell into deep thought.
After a moment, Kong Long said, "No matter what superpower it is, as long as it can help us fight the zombies... it's a good superpower! It's a good person! I'm here to make a statement. I don't care what you think. I always think that Shen Jin is the eternal friend of Tianluodiwang, and he will stand on the side of Tianluodiwang!"
Liu Jiannan then said: "Shen Jin has indeed helped us a lot. Everyone has secrets, and we have secrets too, don't we?"
"I think you misunderstood... I don't want to delve into his abilities." Yang Tianyao said sternly: "We can see that he is extraordinary, and so can others. We can protect him within the scope of our net, but there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. What if..."
"Other organizations?"
"Extraordinary people from abroad??"
Yang Tianyao nodded: "That's right. If those people from other organizations become interested in him and send a large number of experts to capture him, we may not be able to react in time! The abilities of the extraordinary people are too incredible. It is difficult for us to maintain a comprehensive defense against these organizations. Once they sneak over and we don't find them, it's easy for something to go wrong. Although he is very strong... but compared to organizations of this level, there is still a big gap. So regarding these equipment and materials provided by Shen Jin... we must keep it secret and declare to the outside world that they were developed by the Tianluodiwang headquarters. We will take this risk. If those organizations are really jealous... let them come to the Tianluodiwang headquarters and try!"
Kong Long said with a serious expression: "Well! Not only this batch of materials, but also the subsequent materials are said to be produced by Tianluodiwang. I will go to the boss and tell him to speak with one voice!"
"Then I'll call Shen Jin again. Special treatment is required in special times. If one day we have cleared out the zombies and returned to a peaceful era, then... I will definitely let his deeds be recorded in the book!"
After discussing it, several people decided to rewrite this fact.
One week later…
