Volume 1 Three Months After the End of the World Chapter 61 You haven't said thank you yet
"Blood crystal! Use the extraction machine to extract the energy of the blood crystal!"
This word of advice came as a wake-up call to Shen Jin, who had never understood how to utilize the energy of blood crystal. Now he suddenly had an idea to use technology to study supernatural powers!
Fu Wei put a soybean-sized blood crystal in his hand into the item compartment, and the electronic screen of the [Extractor] displayed the item information:
【Energy Crystal】
[Contained elements: mixed crystals, energy factors, unknown microorganisms, please select the extractable substances]
"There really is a living thing in here! Otherwise, this flowing red light cannot be explained!"
Fu Wei verified his initial judgment that energy does not come out of thin air, but must be attached to a certain substance, and that substance is microorganisms!
"Wow, are we going to use science to solve the mystery of the zombies' energy source today?" Although Shen Jin doesn't understand biology, it doesn't affect him from sitting next to Fu Wei and eating melon.
"It's hard to say. This extractor has a flaw. When , it will destroy all other substances. You see..."
Fu Wei pulled out a small box from the bottom of the [extractor]. Inside was the debris left after extracting the "tin" from the can, all of which were powder.
"I'm afraid its molecular structure has been completely shattered and cannot be restored to its previous form!"
Shen Jin nodded, "You can only choose one kind of blood crystal to extract. If you want to do experiments, you will need a lot of blood crystals, right?"
Fu Wei nodded awkwardly. He knew that this thing only appeared in the heads of evolved zombies, and the current storage amount was very small!
"How about this, I'll give you two more. You can use them for experiments first. If you kill more mutant zombies in the future, I'll provide you with more!"
"Okay, I'll go prepare the materials first, and then start extracting the blood crystal. Mr. Shen, you are such a...good person!"
Fu Wei excitedly held Shen Jin's hands and shook them vigorously. It must be said that Shen Jin brought him too many surprises, whether it was the quickly built laboratory , or the easy-to-use [iron furnace] and [extractor], all of which greatly improved his experimental progress!
After Shen Jin left, Fu Wei adjusted his glasses and said, "Shen Jin, humans will thank you in the future..."
Then turn around and start making glass bottles that can store various reagents!
After Shen Jin came out of the laboratory, he was also very depressed, because he now had to complete tasks, both main tasks and daily tasks. "How can I receive sincere thanks from others... How can I make others thank me sincerely?"
Shen Jin wandered around for a few rounds and saw Su Lele holding half a bag of compressed biscuits and showing off to the girls who were making quilts.
From time to time, he would break off a small piece and put it into his mouth, savoring it carefully and giving sincere praise, with an expression of being "superior" on his face. All the girls looked at him with envy, even with a hint of greed, but no one dared to act rashly, because everyone knew that there was someone above Su Lele!
It is not worth it to offend the extraordinary people for a pack of biscuits. If you are driven out of the settlement, you will not be able to survive. These days, Shen Jin's old colleagues have become accustomed to the life here, especially the 8-meter-high wall, which gives people a strong sense of security. Although the food is still very poor, there are only steamed buns and porridge, and occasionally some pickles.
At least they won't starve to death. In order to make cooking easier, Shen Jin connected a water pipe to this side so that these people could use clean groundwater.
With water, they gradually recovered from the image of African refugees to normal human beings.
"Compressed biscuits... Got it!"
Shen Jin suddenly thought of a good way to quickly collect 20 likes.
Ask Yang Ao to take out 31 compressed biscuits and set up a table next to the matchbox house where the cotton was stored.
"Everyone put down your work for a moment and come here!" Yang Ao shouted with all his might.
Excluding Shen Jin, there are 31 people in the settlement.
Li Moxiao was also pulled over, and this was her first time appearing in front of everyone.
Although he would come up to relax sometimes, he would soon get bored and go down to read romance novels and play games. Shen Jin always complained that he was a "modern giant baby". The sentence he often said was "I don't know how you will live in the future if you are like this!"
Li Moxiao didn't care. When he was really pushed, he shouted, "At worst, I'll give you a child and return it to you later!"
Shen Jin was immediately shocked, "You... can't even raise a child, and you're starving the child!"
Li Moxiao was stunned for a moment, "Ahhhh! I'm going to fight you!"
In the end, it always ends in nothing...
Although Li Moxiao was unwilling to do other things, he was still very attentive to Shen Jin. Although they quarreled every day, he would still wash Shen Jin's clothes , play his favorite games with Shen Jin, and wear his favorite uniforms...
Like a professional playmate, ahem... the plain kind.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Shen Jin was so lonely during those three months that he suffered from insomnia at night for a while.
It was not until Li Moxiao was rescued by accident that life became enjoyable again. Just as Yang Ao said, even in the end times, we should maintain a sunny attitude and face life positively to stay away from mental illness.
This was also a point that resonated with Shen Jin, so he finally chose to keep Yang Ao.
"Before the end of the world, there were always people saying online how good it is to live alone, and that other people are unstable factors, annoying and a waste. Little do they know... a person with a simple mind will be cherished by those who have experienced the ups and downs of life. Have you ever tried living alone for three months without communicating with others? I have tried it!"
Shen Jin shook his head, clearing these irrelevant thoughts. Looking at the people who had gathered in front of him, he slowly placed 31 compressed biscuits on the table. "Now, I will give everyone a whole compressed biscuit. Line up to receive it. After receiving it, wait on the side!"
Everyone was drooling when they saw the big bag of compressed biscuits in Shen Jin's hand.
They have been eating steamed buns and drinking porridge these days, and their mouths are almost tasteless. Anything with a little flavor can drive these people crazy!
These days, some people even secretly ate grass leaves in the greenhouse, but were discovered by Fu Wei and driven out.
Old Wang from the Mediterranean couldn’t believe it. The capitalists were actually bleeding?
Lao Wang asked tentatively: "This... won't be the last meal, right? We think it's nice to live here!"
The others were also shocked, and after thinking about it carefully, it was really possible!
Shen Jin looked at Lao Wang's cautious expression and smiled, "No, come and get them without worry, come one by one, don't be in a hurry!"
Now everyone was relieved and the atmosphere became lively again. "Wow, so many compressed biscuits, a lot of blood will be lost at once. The extraordinary people are still wealthy and powerful!"
"Tsk tsk, I ate some crumbs from Su Lele last time, and I haven't forgotten the taste for several days..."
"This is such a big piece, if I eat it sparingly, I can eat it for a month!"
"Hiss...you're going to lick the compressed biscuits until they're patinaed, brother!"
A group of people were chatting in line, looking very excited, but Su Lele was the only one who looked unhappy. Originally, she was the only one who had the privilege to bring back a pack of cigarettes after finishing her "work" at night. Now that everyone had it, she could no longer enjoy the feeling of being "superior"...
No, we have to do something new tonight. Shen Jin is so abominable.
Although Zhao Hong had received some extra food these days, she gave most of it to Ma Sanxiong and ate very little herself. Now that each person had a bag, she could finally eat a little without worrying about it...
Shen Jin sat in the main seat. Lao Wang was the first to come up and take the biscuits. Just as he got them and was about to leave, Shen Jin suddenly held down Lao Wang's hand holding the biscuits and looked at him dimly, "You haven't said thank you yet..."
Lao Wang: “(⊙o⊙)…?”
