286: I want to rescue you.
Back in his room at the Shelter, Tian Ming collapsed onto his bed and immediately fell asleep.
Sixty hours of continuous work had almost completely drained him of all his energy.
This kind of continuous high-intensity material manipulation was a first for Tian Ming.
He was truly exhausted; the moment his head touched the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep.
After the Great Wall was built, a large number of armed personnel from the Shelter began to mobilize; the fifty-meter width allowed helicopters to land directly, and a large number of weapons were moved onto the wall.
This wall was not just a wall, but a fortress, a war fortress.
All the armed personnel understood that with the protection of this fortress, the zombies would not be able to break through this line of defense in a short time.
They had enough time and space to develop and prepare for war.
In addition, this wall possessed extremely high defensive capabilities.
Tian Ming had already considered the zombies' attack methods during the construction process.
The outer wall surface was coated with a layer of Graphene, making it almost impossible to climb from the outside.
During the time Tian Ming was asleep, the people of the Shelter were not idle.
They fully utilized the rooms inside the wall to establish various facilities.
Weapon warehouses, barracks, machine rooms, and power stations were all set up, and the entire interior of the wall began to be planned and transformed.
The wall sections near the north were mainly garrisoned by defensive forces, while the side facing the sea served as a temporary settlement for survivors.
During Tian Ming's sleep, his body was also quietly changing; particles in the air vibrated slightly with his breathing, forming an invisible and intangible energy field.
With each breath, a large number of particles vibrated with the frequency of his breathing, seemingly integrating with all things.
With a creak, the door to Tian Ming's room was gently pushed open, and a figure appeared inside his room.
Shen Yuan tiptoed towards him; with the wall in place, the small, miscellaneous zombie fish moving south posed no threat to those inside the wall, so no one from the Shelter came to disturb Tian Ming while he slept.
Shen Yuan, as his girlfriend, was an exception.
Shen Yuan quietly walked to the bedside and gently looked at the sleeping Tian Ming.
She lightly reached out her hand and caressed Tian Ming's cheek, her face full of tenderness and affection.
Tian Ming slowly opened his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him.
Their eyes met, and Shen Yuan's face flushed slightly.
"What are you looking at me for?" Shen Yuan asked softly.
"Nothing, I just thought, I can go save you now.
Building this protective wall has made me more sensitive to elements.
My Nanometer Avatar can also detect things up to two hundred kilometers away now." What Tian Ming wanted to save, of course, was Shen Yuan's main body.
Shen Yuan shook her head slightly and said, "Blue Star is so big, if you go inch by inch, how easy will it be to find it?
The situation on the mainland is so complicated now, Jiang Chen is eyeing us like a tiger, and I don't want to delay the overall situation because of me."
Tian Ming reached out and pulled Shen Yuan into his arms.
"I'll go look for it, along the ground, scanning around the entire planet.
Conservatively estimated, I'll find the Lawrence Family's hidden secret base in at most a month."
Tian Ming was not exaggerating; now his Nanometer Avatar's detection range covered a radius of 200 kilometers.
Although it took several hours for the Nanometer Avatar to explore an area, scanning the entire planet would take at most about a month.
"Then can I come with you?
You should be able to protect me now, right?"
Tian Ming released Shen Yuan and said, "Stand up, let me see."
"Ah? What for?" Shen Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled, but still stood up as instructed.
Tian Ming waved his hand slightly, and the Nanometer Avatar enveloped Shen Yuan, transforming into a form-fitting protective suit directly worn on Shen Yuan's body.
As Tian Ming's strength increased, his proficiency in controlling the Nanometer Avatar also became stronger.
Now, he could control double the Nanometer Avatar, and even with double the Nanometer Avatar coexisting, he could still achieve detection within a radius of two hundred kilometers.
Shen Yuan's eyes widened, and she asked with a hint of surprise, "Husband, you're getting more and more creative with your tricks now; this is Nanometer technology."
Tian Ming smiled indifferently and said, "How about that, so I told you I was confident I could find the Lawrence Family's hidden base, I wasn't lying, was I!"
Shen Yuan excitedly pounced forward and hugged Tian Ming, "Mm, I believe you.
However, you should still settle things here before you leave; my main body is very safe at the moment."
Tian Ming asked with some doubt, "Safe?
How do you know your main body is very safe?"
"When I was asleep, my consciousness could vaguely sense the situation of my main body.
I could feel that the energy inside the life-sustaining pod was extremely abundant, and my physical condition was excellent; the other party was sparing no effort to replenish my energy."
What Shen Yuan said, in Tian Ming's opinion, was just to comfort himself.
Why Duke Lawrence paid such a huge price to keep Shen Yuan and made such a large investment in her, Tian Ming would not believe that Duke Lawrence was some great philanthropist who specifically captured Shen Yuan to help her evolve.
The less clear the reason, the more uneasy Tian Ming felt.
It had been almost four months since Shen Yuan's main body was trapped, and Tian Ming knew he couldn't delay any longer.
Now that the conditions for searching were met, he had to take action immediately.
Tian Ming stood up, and with a thought, changed into a different set of clothes.
He picked up the headset from the table and clipped it to his ear.
"Ji Ruping, how is the relocation of personnel from Charlie's side of the Lawrence Family progressing?" Tian Ming asked directly on the communication frequency.
A moment later, Ji Ruping's voice came through the headset: "Reporting, Boss, Charlie's side isn't very proactive with the relocation.
I'm currently at the Underground City Comprehensive Management Office; for the specifics, I'd better tell you in person, Boss, where are you now?"
"In the dormitory building, see you at the Underground City Command Post in ten minutes." Tian Ming finished speaking and hung up the call.
Shen Yuan asked with some confusion, "Why are you looking for Charlie, he doesn't know the location of that secret base."
"You know Charlie is slacking off in front of me, right?
Regarding Jiang Chen commanding the Corpse King riot, to be honest, the Alliance's overall performance was poor and suffered heavy losses, which greatly affects the Lawrence Family's confidence in me.
Now, Jiang Chen has people in his hands, so he won't send a Corpse King to provoke me for the time being; provoking me would just be sending me Red Crystal Cores.
Small-scale zombie hordes can be blocked by the wall.
What I'm worried about is still this Charlie."
As Tian Ming spoke, a hint of coldness appeared on his face.
First, if they are not of my kind, their hearts must be different.
Second, it was because of Duke Lawrence's previous actions that he was not very trusting of the Lawrence Family's people.
However, the capital and scientific personnel accumulated by Lawrence were what Tian Ming needed.
