Volume 6: The Twelve Wallfacers Chapter 5: The Spoils of God
Shen Jin thought for a moment, "Oh, right! We haven't counted the spoils we collected from Shen Ji yet! Oh, I forgot about this!"
After sleeping for three days, I actually forgot about the spoils from Shenji and...
"captive!"
Counting the spoils was a happy thing, but Shen Jin still had a headache about how to arrange the prisoners. "We can't just... do it the same way, right?"
Shen Jin meant it literally.
"Let's count the spoils first. As we count, I'll have an idea!"
Shen Jin came to the basement of the villa. It used to be his home. Later, after the zombie tide destroyed it , it was converted into a warehouse when the villa was rebuilt. There were also many warehouses on the ground floor. However, with more and more materials, the wealth of the hoarder rat became richer and richer. Shen Jin's basement was fully utilized. Coming to the room with "Yellow 1", Shen Jin touched the [notice board] with some nostalgia. This used to be a room for refrigerators, ovens, gas stoves and other household appliances. At that time, my little niece and Shang Qian always came here as a group to steal food. Shang Qian was responsible for keeping watch and Li Moxiao was responsible for eating. That's right!
At that time, Shang Qian was still very afraid of Li Moxiao. She treated him like a little brother and even cooked for him every day...
Now, the status of the two has become equal, and this place has become a large automated storage base of Shen Jin. It has been expanded into a huge space of 10,000 square meters by 6 meters, that is, a storage volume of 60,000 cubic meters. A large number of [steel storage boxes] are placed in it in different categories. It has to be said that our country still has a lot of storage steel. Now the [steel storage boxes] in the base have completely replaced the ordinary wooden [storage boxes]. Whether it is storage space or portable properties, [steel storage boxes] are stronger. Above the warehouse is a huge and regular [bronze pipe], extending from the upstairs to the small partitions below. Each partition has a [notice board] hanging on it, [wood], [steel], [iron], [copper], [glass], [sand], [vegetables], [meat], [milk]...
It’s varied, but very regular, even if you have obsessive-compulsive disorder you can’t find any faults!
Moreover, this warehouse is automatically classified, with multiple storage windows on the ground. The staff above only need to put the items that need to be stored in, and they will automatically follow the pipe to the [item sorting machine] below, and then be sorted according to the type of items. Finally, they follow the route set by the program to their respective locations. It is very convenient, and you no longer have to go through boxes one by one to find things!
Shen Jin walked to the storage room with a sign of [Crystal Core]. Crystal cores were usually left on the ground. Shen Jin who was at level one or above would put them directly into his backpack, because he would use them frequently to exchange for potions and [Crystal Core Bombs] and the like. This time, Shen Jin had been sleeping for three days, and everyone came back from Shen Ji and put their spoils in the storage window above. Various crystal cores fell here along the pipes. Shen Jin opened the few [Steel Storage Boxes] at the bottom, and they were already filled with various crystal cores!
"Although Shenji rarely kills zombies, they kill and rob a lot of people. As a large organization, they still have some wealth!"
Especially at the end of the battle, when Shang Qian led people to dismantle the energy source of the scarlet giant curtain, there was not only a pool of flesh and blood, but also a large number of crystal cores, including various high-level crystal cores. There was also another place, Shenji’s XP Biological Laboratory, which also had a large number of crystal cores, and they were all high-level goods. I don’t know what experiments they were used for.
At that time, Shen Jin and the extraordinary people from Home No. 1 were already very tired. After putting their things into their backpacks, they destroyed the laboratory and the scarlet giant screen. Before they had time to count them, everything was here now.
Shen Jin counted his spoils happily, humming a song, "Today is a good day~!"
After some calculations, Shen Jin summarized the final results, "5 [Third-level Energy Crystal Cores], 280 [Second-level Energy Crystal Cores], 3017 [First-level Energy Crystal Cores], and several [Ordinary Energy Crystal Cores]!"
There were too many ordinary crystal cores, so Shen Jin didn't count them carefully. There were probably about 40,000 to 50,000 of them. This wave of loot could be said to be very generous!
What surprised Shen Jin the most was the 5 [Third-level Energy Crystal Cores], which meant that he could create 5 more third-level psychics. This was a great boost to the strength of the base. Third-level superhumans were the soul pillars of a base. With a third-level superhuman in charge, even the ultimate net would have to respect him.
There are only about 30 third-order extraordinary beings in the God Collection who have used evil means to evolve their superpowers. Shen Jin now has 11 third-order crystal cores left, so he can directly create 11 third-order extraordinary beings, which is approximately equal to 1/3 of the God Collection.
In this way, the high-end extraordinary power of Home No. 1 is even stronger than that of the entire H Province!
The power of a city is comparable to that of a province!
"Moreover... the third-level crystal core can also be used to make biological balls to increase one's own strength . If one has a third-level zombie as a personal assistant, wouldn't that make one invincible?"
According to Shen Jin's observation, third-level zombies are stronger in all aspects than third-level superhumans, but... because of their combat skills and intelligence, they are often weaker than third-level superhumans who have mastered the sixth sense. But what if the power of third-level zombies is controlled by humans?
The effect will definitely be better!
"Wait! Each zombie retains its abilities from before it died, so what if I create a... Z3 zombie phantom? Wouldn't that allow me to control the zombies?"
Shen Jin was somewhat tempted. If he could really control the zombies... wouldn't it be great if he could just control the zombies to cool down?
Let the zombies fight each other!
Shen Jin looked at the third-level crystal cores in his backpack. Among them, only two were crystal cores with "soul" attributes, which were relatively rare among the third-level crystal cores. After all, a Z3 zombie could lead a million-level zombie tide, and it was still very difficult to kill it. It was much easier to kill a lone third-level zombie.
Shen Jin had killed one himself, and he didn't know where Shen Ji got one from. "Logically speaking, they haven't come into contact with a zombie tide, right? Forget it, as long as it can be used!"
Shen Jin spent a [Level 3 Energy Crystal Core] and an [Energy Crystal] to synthesize a [Soul Ball (Level 3)], "Let's find a place with zombies and give it a try."
Two boosters appeared behind Shen Jin, and the quantum armor began to accelerate to twice the speed of sound!
Five minutes later, Shen Jin arrived at the nearby city T. He saw that there were not as many zombies here as before, and the local Tianluodiwang branch had already carried out a large-scale encirclement and suppression.
Moreover, when Liu Dalang passed by here, he took away two large waves of zombies, forming his own million-level zombie tide. So in T City, the zombie pressure here has dropped a lot. They may become the third city in H Province to be completely liberated...
Shen Jin found a small zombie gathering place with several thousand zombies, including a T-shaped second-level zombie with tumors all over its body. "This is it."
Shen Jin took out his [Soul Ball (Level 3)] with his right hand, infused it with supernatural powers, and stimulated it!
A powerful force burst out from the soul ball, instantly sweeping over Shen Jin's entire body, forming a black shadow behind him. It was the appearance of a Z3 big-headed zombie , which was larger and more solid than the second-level one. The surrounding zombies were startled suddenly, and it was obvious that some changes had taken place in their bodies. They all turned their heads to look at the shadow behind Shen Jin.
It was not a good feeling to be suddenly stared at by thousands of zombies, but Shen Jin did not feel scared. The phantom behind him gave him immense confidence. He immediately mobilized his special powers and began to use the ability of the phantom.
“Aa ...
After a moment nothing happened.
Shen Jin: “…”
The other zombies just stared blankly at the shadow behind Shen Jin. The shadow was obviously emitting mental power to try to control these zombies, but for some reason it didn't work.
Shen Jin's quantum armor covered his entire body. He floated in front of a zombie and smashed its head with one punch.
“Bang!”
The zombie's head was smashed to pieces like a ripe watermelon, and the red and white inside spilled all over the ground. The other zombies that were originally sluggish suddenly rioted and rushed towards Shen Jin, but the Z3 zombie phantom on Shen Jin released pressure and waved its fist at them. The other zombies stopped again instantly. From their eyes, one could see that they wanted to eat Shen Jin, but they could not make any effective movements. "Roar——"
Their feet were shaking, their hands were trembling, and their mouths were roaring.
They did not attack Shen Jin, even the second-level power zombie was unable to move.
"It seems that this thing can't control zombies, but it emits a mental force field that prevents zombies from attacking me."
Shen Jin was a little disappointed, but if he could really control a large number of zombies, it would be too abnormal. "Maybe it's because the zombie genes and the body have other effects on control!"
Shen Jin still remembers that when the Z3 zombie controlled other zombies, black mist would emanate from his body. The ability that came from genes and flesh and blood might be the key to connecting them.
After flying back to the villa.
Shen Jin opened the last page of the [Crystal Core Store], where there were still two things that had not been experimented with. These two things were the only two things in the [Crystal Core Store] that needed to be purchased with [World Coins] and did not require any other materials.
The first one is [Special Effect Blind Box]
[After opening, you can obtain a random special-effect potion of supernatural power, which can permanently change the manifestation of supernatural power after taking it (visual only)]
[Exchange cost: World Coin x 500]
"Special effect blind box? If you look at the literal meaning, it means that I can change the special effects of my superpowers. What's the use of this? When I make superpower food, will my fighting spirit turn into a horse behind me? That's too funny, right?"
"Oh, it's not expensive anyway, let's exchange one first!"
[Consumption: World Coin x 500]
[Obtain: Diamond Shield Special Effect Potion × 1]
[Effect of use: When you release your superpowers, a golden particle shield will appear around your body and the superpowers, which does not have any defensive power.]
Shen Jin was a little confused at first, but then his expression brightened: "Hey! This is a good thing! It has miraculous effects if used properly."
So I put this thing away.
Shen Jin doesn't have many [World Currencies] now, only more than 20,000 left, so it's okay to exchange one of these flashy things to scare others, but there's not much point in exchanging more.
Shen Jin really wanted to keep the [World Currency] to exchange for the following thing.
【Pharmacy Blind Box】
[Randomly get a bottle of medicine after opening]
[Exchange cost: World Coin x 500]
"It doesn't say whether it's the potion already in the [Crystal Core Shop] or something else, but as long as you can get something good, you'll make money. For example, if you open a bottle of advanced potion that can advance a person to the third level, then 500 world coins is simply too cheap!"
"Ahem! Level 2 isn't bad at all!"
[Consumption: World Coin x 500]
[Obtain: Strange Potion × 1]
[Effect of use: After taking this potion, you will gain a random benefit effect]
Shen Jin: “???”
"That's it? 500 [World Coins] is all?"
Shen Jin felt like he'd been cheated. The instructions for using this thing were... so perfunctory!
It felt like the system had created something specifically to cheat him out of his [World Currency].
"No, I have to try to exchange it for another one."
Shen Jin's gambling mentality broke out, [Consumption: World Coins × 500]
[Obtain: Abnormal potion x 1]
[Effect: After taking this potion, you will get a random debuff]
Shen Jin: “???”
"Fuck, there's still a debuff after drinking it? That's too much! Just 1,000 [World Coins] for both of us for this thing? We might as well exchange it for a few sets of materials!"
Damn card drawing game, you’ve corrupted the system!
Shen Jin was so angry that he stopped drawing lots, knowing when to stop and only then could he stop the loss.
If I continue to draw, my blood pressure will rise. Besides, it’s easy to get addicted to lotteries. Before I knew it, I had spent more than 20,000 [World Coins]!
Fortunately, Shen Jin was not a veteran gambler. He put these bottles of useless potions into his bag, and all the things in the [Crystal Core Shop] were used up.
Shen Jin glanced at the system interface. There were still 22,530 [World Currency] left. "Do you want to exchange for another industrial expansion module?"
Shen Jin began to recall the time when he played the game "Minecraft". Generally speaking, the industrial expansion modules were to upgrade industrial things and expand into new areas. The powerful craft modules could even have futuristic technology that could go into space!
But it requires more electricity, more materials, and more manpower and material resources. His current electricity is not enough to meet his technological needs. Shen Jin plans to wait until he has made a batch of [Quantum Solar Generators] before starting the next expansion module.
"Yeah, that's it. It makes sense."
Returning to the villa in Home No. 1, Shen Jin looked at the inner city which was gradually becoming bustling. Many extraordinary people, pseudo-extraordinary people, and ordinary people were working, educating, and doing business.
This is already a very mature base, and it looks no different from before the apocalypse. Even under the leadership of Shang Qian and Long Tao's family, the house in No. 1 Home is closer to the style of the future.
“This is my home.”
Shen Jin was very proud. He felt that everything he had done after the apocalypse, from this small villa to such a large territory, was very meaningful. It gave him a strange sense of satisfaction, which was different from the feeling of obtaining some resources by an individual. It was great to obtain food, materials, water, and technology by oneself, and this ever-increasing inventory made a hoarder very satisfied, but the sense of accomplishment was limited.
But when the entire base prospers together, everyone lives with smiles on their faces, humanity lives better because of him, and the whole world is pushed forward because of him, this sense of satisfaction is much stronger. This achievement of changing the world fascinates men.
It’s like it feels good to secretly go to a prostitute alone, but... it feels even better when goddesses line up to beg you to have sex with them!
If you don't return to your hometown when you are rich and powerful, it is like walking in the night in fine clothes!
Shen Jin looked south from the villa and saw a new building outside the inner city. It was an alloy cage, in which prisoners from Shen Ji were imprisoned...
