The steamed bun filled with glass noodles was torn open, and Zhang Chuyang and Wang Zhu couldn’t wait to take a bite. The silky noodles paired with the tender chives were so irresistible that Zhang Chuyang grabbed another bun immediately.

This time it was filled with fresh meat!

Wang Zhu speculated that this meat must have been made from the wild boar that Su Jin and her group had hunted, even more delicious than the pork from before the Apocalypse.

The two wolfed down seven or eight buns and suddenly began burping, unable to eat any more.

Although Wang Zhu wanted to share the buns with the people downstairs, he decided not to, considering Su Jin and her group.

They knew that Su Jin and the others had gathered quite a haul, including meat and vegetables. If the Base’s residents found out, it would definitely cause trouble for Su Jin’s group, so it was best to keep it in his Spatial storage.

“We’re so lucky to know Su Jin,”

Zhang Chuyang smelled the apples and pears in his hand, inhaling the refreshing fragrance, unable to resist another whiff. He couldn’t eat anymore; the buns Su Jin gave each had a thin skin and were generously stuffed. He was already full; eating more would be a waste of food.

He would save the fruits for the next meal then.

“I’ll put them away now. You’d better keep your mouth shut tight, don’t slip up and blab when chatting idly with others,”

Wang Zhu warned in a low voice.

“I know, Brother Wang. You see, Su Jin trusts me so much, don’t you trust me too?”

Zhang Chuyang’s cheeky demeanor made Wang Zhu involuntarily laugh.

Yes, it was great that Su Jin trusted them.

After all, trust between people was the rarest and most precious thing in the Apocalypse.

In the Weapon Research Institute of the S City Base, Lian Ze, a newly recruited junior researcher, created an incredible mechanical model on his very first day.

The model, although simply made of iron, began to move under Moli’s activation.

“Is this powered by rechargeable batteries?” a researcher asked.

“No, its energy source is a Crystal Core,”

Lian Ze’s remark immediately caught the attention of everyone in the room.

Energy source? Crystal Core?

“Goodness, Lian Ze, this looks quite amazing,”

said an older researcher Li He. They all had some knowledge of mechanics, and if a Crystal Core could be used as an energy source as Lian Ze had mentioned, that would be a great invention in the Apocalypse.

However, Lian Ze seemed unconcerned as he playfully toyed with the model. This had been his idea a long time ago, but in E City Base, with so many experiments on humans to conduct, he never had the time to research these things.

But now, it was different. He was bored here! The model was just for his own amusement to dispel the dullness.

Somehow, Liang Jiuhui heard about this and rushed to the Weapon Research Institute that same day.

When he saw Lian Ze, his face still slightly bruised and coughing occasionally, he suddenly felt somewhat guilty.

“Mr. Lian, could you explain the principle behind this model to everyone?”

Liang Jiuhui asked.

“You can’t understand the principle?”

Lian Ze’s question left everyone silent for a few seconds before they all shook their heads in unison.

“Moli, I told you about it; you explain to them,”

After saying that, Lian Ze sat down and continued to sketch a bunch of letters and numbers incomprehensible to Liang Jiuhui.

“…”

Even Sheng Jing, standing behind Liang Jiuhui, felt like his intelligence was being looked down upon.

“Ahem, well… A Crystal Core is essentially a form of energy. Since a Special Ability User can absorb this energy, they can also transform and manipulate it. This model is a product that Lian Ze invented after combining biotechnology, mechanical technology, and computer technology. Of course, right now it’s only had a simple program code inputted,”

Moli explained with evident pride. She had been following Lian Ze for so long, and even though she couldn’t do what he could, at least by watching and listening at his side, she’d come to understand the general framework.

Upon observing the expressions of the people in the room, Sheng Jing felt they probably had the “I don’t understand what she’s saying, but it seems impressive” look…

Liang Jiuhui, watching the model manipulated again by Moli, thought of the modified vehicle that could both defend and attack and couldn’t help having a bold idea.

“I hope Mr. Lian can continue this research and even apply it to practical operations,”

Liang Jiuhui said earnestly.

“That’s possible, but I need your help in finding someone,”

Lian Ze finally stopped sketching and drawing, stood up from his chair, and addressed the Base Leader of City S.

“You’re looking for?”

Knowing it in his heart, Liang Jiuhui still asked.

“His name is Lian Jiyue, he’s my younger brother, and I want to see him,”

Lian Ze said seriously.

“I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to find him, but I’ll try to look for him. If there’s any news, I’ll notify you immediately,”

Liang Jiuhui was aware that Lian Jiyue belonged to Su Jin and Lu Hao. Whether the two should meet was still up to them, so although he was eager for Lian Ze to continue his research and inventions, he needed to consult with the Heart Talk Team first.

Lian Ze nodded without saying anything more and turned back to sit down and continue writing something.

Moli hesitated to speak but ultimately kept quiet. She wanted to ask this man to find a doctor to treat Lian Ze’s long-neglected cold; otherwise, she was genuinely worried it could lead to something more serious, especially since Lian Ze was just an ordinary human physically.

However, that night, she found that her wish had incredibly come true!

Shao Zian brought a gentle-faced woman and two young men to knock on their apartment’s door, one of the men carrying a medical kit.

Moli, surprised, asked, “What’s all this?”

“Good evening, we heard Mr. Lian’s severe cold hasn’t healed on its own, so our Base Leader sent two renowned doctors to check on Mr. Lian’s health and see if there’s anything else you two are lacking,”

Shao Zian said with a smile.

“Oh my! Please come in, please come in. He still has quite a severe cough, especially at night, often coughing so much that he can’t sleep,”

Moli said with undeniable concern, even though Lian Ze was still in his room, verifying the formulas he hadn’t finished during the day.

“Moli, I am a Healing Element Ability User. I heard Mr. Lian also has some external injuries, so I can start by treating those,”

Lin Tianhui said softly.

“Ah, yes, yes, yes, I’ll call him right away,”

Soon, Lian Ze was dragged out by Moli. He seemed quite angry, glaring at Moli with an expression of fury, thinking she was becoming less and less conscious of her subordinate status.

Lin Tianhui didn’t say much and put her hand directly on Lian Ze’s shoulder.

A comfortable, warm sensation started to spread across Lian Ze’s body, and he couldn’t help but restrain his anger.

It wasn’t the first time he had been treated by a Healing Element Ability User, but it was the first time he’d experienced such an extraordinary feeling.

So, he couldn’t help asking Lin Tianhui, “Sister, let me study you, okay?”
