Chapter 71: At Your Disposal, Searching for Fang Yixue! (Please continue reading)

He knew that such a large base, with so many soldiers, would surely collect a lot of crystals.

However, crystals are consumables, and once obtained, they would certainly be quickly converted into combat power.

A soldier with superpowers would see their combat power skyrocket several times, or even a hundred times!

The cost-effectiveness was clear; these were smart people, and it was impossible for them not to see it.

On average, only one Double-Tailed Scorpion would appear for every twenty to fifty Scythe Mantiss.

Killing so many Double-Tailed Scorpions meant that the number of bugs they killed was far greater than that.

He had still underestimated the combat power of the corps.

In a short period, a large number of crystals could be acquired.

Lijian Base requested six armed helicopters for these crystals, and the rest were to be exchanged for bullets.

Lu Zheng did not immediately take them out but requested to absorb some of the crystals first.

If the crystals were not absorbed and converted into part of one's strength, it would be a waste.

Becoming one's own strength was the most fundamental thing.

He estimated that he needed five hundred second-tier crystals to advance to the fourth-tier; he was already close to advancing, and now he absorbed two hundred in one go.

He successfully broke through.

His fourth-tier Dimensional Space ability had made significant progress.

The minimum space barrier interval was reduced to one-hundredth of a millimeter, which is ten micrometers.

This is the radius of the edge of a generally sharp blade.

He only needed to place a spatial thread on the road, which would be enough to make most of the rushing bugs cut themselves in half!

The energy upper limit for the fourth-tier reached two thousand units.

The maximum spatial volume increased to one hundred cubic decimeters.

The maximum single-release spatial barrier defense could reach ten thousand square meters.

Instantly constructing a ten-thousand-square-meter defensive barrier!

Even when facing a nuclear bomb strike, he would be fearless.

This was the true absolute defense.

Moreover, such a large laying area meant that he could calmly use Dimensional Space as a stepping stone to run freely in the air.

The consumed energy could be instantly restored.

As long as he wanted, he could completely stay away from the black fog and remain in mid-air forever.

Although this ability currently did not possess active offensive capabilities, both its control and defensive capabilities were maxed out.

As for offensive power, he still had other unlimited material cards to compensate.

After completing the breakthrough, Lu Zheng first used a teleportation talisman to return to Jinge Building and brought Bai Zhihui over.

He found it inconvenient to carry so many crystals, but with Bai Zhihui, it was like having a portable space.

After the crystals were packed, Lu Zheng and Bai Zhihui walked out of the room.

Seeing Lu Zheng come out with an extra person by his side, Zang Zhenyu and others were quite surprised but did not ask further.

Arriving at the open space, Lu Zheng took out all the bullets and armed helicopters for them in one go.

In fact, these items did not add much combat power to Lijian Base.

But with the first transaction, there was a basis for cooperation.

It was a good start.

It consumed more than five hundred second-tier crystals to advance from the third-tier to the fourth-tier, and it was estimated that it might take five thousand second-tier crystals to advance from the fourth-tier to the fifth-tier.

Lu Zheng's subordinates, including the bugs, could bring in about two hundred second-tier crystals daily.

This efficiency was far inferior to that of Lijian Base's corps.

Therefore, if he wanted to quickly advance to the fifth-tier, he still had to rely on Lijian Base.

“Mr. Lu, if you can manifest other equipment in the future, you can also come and trade with us.”

“I have prepared a gift for you.”

Zang Zhenyu led Lu Zheng and others to an open space.

Seeing the few people who were restrained in the middle, Teng Qiuyan subconsciously grabbed Lu Zheng's arm.

Those people were precisely Lu Yang and others, who had killed Teng Qiuyan's mother and hunted down Teng Qiuyan and her brother.

Zang Zhenyu said:

“Mr. Lu, these people are handed over to you, to be dealt with as you wish.”

“Thank you,”

Lu Zheng said, then looked at Teng Qiuyan.

He directly took out an assault rifle, walked behind Teng Qiuyan, helped her hold the gun from behind, and aimed it at those people.

After a burst of gunfire, everyone was shot dead.

Teng Qiuyan sobbed in Lu Zheng's arms.

Although all enemies could be killed, the deceased relatives could not be resurrected.

Revenge was just a reason to let go.

Dealing with these people was just a minor, insignificant interlude.

Zang Zhenyu pointed to Yin Xinyao, who had just walked in, and said:

“Mr. Lu, you should be very familiar with this Security Officer Yin.”

“We need a liaison, and Security Officer Yin is diligent and responsible. I plan to have her permanently stationed with you to handle our communication.”

“Please take good care of her in the future.”

Lu Zheng immediately understood.

This guy wanted to create an opportunity for him.

It was also a gesture of goodwill.

Lu Zheng looked at Yin Xinyao with a half-smile, and she showed a helpless smile, lowering her head.

She wasn't stupid; she naturally understood Zang Zhenyu's intention behind this arrangement.

Although she was somewhat resistant at first, after Zang Zhenyu emphasized Lu Zheng's importance to the entire Lijian Base and even to millions of people, she still agreed.

She truly had a strong sense of responsibility.

The cooperation was completed, and it was now past four in the afternoon; it was still early.

Lu Zheng looked at Ding Nannan and said:

“Let's go, take me to find that Fang Yixue. If I'm satisfied after we find her, I'll help you upgrade your ability to the second-tier.”

After Ding Nannan obtained crystals, she awakened the Cloud Mist ability, which allowed her to create large areas of water mist to obscure vision.

She could also condense water balls to provide herself with drinking water.

It could be said that with this ability, she didn't have to worry about dying of thirst.

Currently, water resources were not very abundant; although groundwater was not polluted, there were very few places that provided water.

Under the black fog, having sufficient water was already extremely rare.

Ding Nannan was very satisfied with her ability.

Hearing that Lu Zheng would also upgrade her, she immediately became very excited.

“Husband, I will definitely help you find her!”

Wutong Jiayuan Community.

Fang Yixue's older sister, Fang Yiqiu, walked over with a worried expression.

“Xue'er, our supplies are completely depleted.”

“We must go out to find supplies, otherwise, someone might starve to death tomorrow.”

“Do you have a way to deal with that mad dog now?”

The mad dog was literally a dog, a second-tier mutated dog.

This monster, mutated from a poodle, loved to eat humans the most.

Fang Yixue was also a second-tier ability user, but facing a second-tier mutated dog, her ability could not effectively kill it.

The mutated dog's speed and strength were too great; it came and went without a trace.

When humans entered the black fog, their vision was obstructed, and their perception ability sharply declined, but that mad dog seemed unaffected.

Moreover, it understood how to seek advantages and avoid harm.

Last time Fang Yixue went out to find food, this mad dog took advantage of her absence, entered the building, killed four people, ate two, and injured more than ten.

The mad dog was not a bug.

Bugs could not leave the black fog's range, but mutated beasts like the mad dog could.

Its threat level far exceeded that of bugs.

To this day, Fang Yixue had not yet thought of a feasible solution.
