Volume 2 The more labor you bring, the greater your responsibility Chapter 94: Handover of Resources
Xia Anbang could have not come for today's resource handover, and would have just had his subordinates go down to hand over the work to Shen Jin. However, Hu Shou took it very seriously, so he had to come along. He had to take things that his superiors cared about so much seriously, so he went to the scene himself to coordinate and prevent any accidents.
Even if... he just went over to chat for a few minutes.
Xia Anbang looked at the time. It was already 10 minutes past the 9 o'clock agreed upon with Shen Jin. The adjutant took the satellite phone and asked, "Colonel Xia, how about giving me a call?"
Xia Anbang shook his head. "Let's wait. This trip is a long one. We have to cross the entire travel area. Anything can happen on the way. They may have encountered a small group of zombies and are fighting. There is no point in calling!"
Under the influence of Hu Shou, the government of City D has already recognized the relationship between the extraordinary people and the government. The organization of Tianluodiwang is used to solve the national zombie crisis, not to order the people to obey the law and follow orders.
Citizens with extraordinary abilities have the right to communicate with the Dragnet.
Hu Shou often said: "If you don't get rid of the zombies, how can you think of doing anything else? We don't even have enough time to absorb talents, how can we push them to the opposite side of the government?"
To this end, Hu Shou set up Tianluodiwang branches in local government offices. All members of the branch had to be extraordinary people, which was basically equivalent to the representatives of the highest military force in each place. With this organization, the status of ordinary troops was suddenly lowered.
The Tianluodiwang Branch has a huge say! All other local agencies combined can compete with it.
Occasionally there would be some discordant voices in various places, which were quickly suppressed by Hu Shou. At present, only by keeping up with the times and allowing extraordinary people to come to the fore and make their voices heard can there be healthy development, which is also to protect local government agencies.
Otherwise...what if a group of ordinary people's managers come up with some bad ideas and infringe on the interests of the extraordinary people? What will be the consequences?
A knight breaks the law with force! This is not just a casual remark.
In City D, Xia Anbang directly serves as the director of the Tianluodiwang D City branch. Of course, he is also the boss of the army, and currently he basically has the final say.
First, Xia Anbang has indeed made great contributions. Second, Xia Anbang can implement the will of Tianluodiwang. Third... anyone can be used, why not use an acquaintance who can get things done?
Hu Shou is a selfless person who also has his own selfish desires, but they never affect his principles.
He has only one goal: to clear out the zombies and liberate the entire China!
This road is full of difficulties and obstacles, and it cannot be accomplished without great perseverance and courage. Hu Shou knows this truth very well and has never shown any sign of compromise, always being tough!
At this time, the living forces of the entire Chinese nation must be highly unified in order to have a chance of defeating the zombies...
Xia Anbang put away his thoughts and said to his adjutant, "Before Shen Jin hung up the phone yesterday, he said...what mode of transportation did they use to get here?"
"This..." The adjutant was embarrassed for a moment and said, "He said... he can go to heaven!"
"Oh?" Xia Anbang was silent for a moment and then said, "How many helicopters are there scattered outside? Are there any in the Brigade Area? Are they civilian helicopters?"
The adjutant shook his head: "The helicopters at the former military base in the Brigade District have been confirmed to be unable to fly . As for the civilian ones... I'm not sure. Before the end of the world, some wealthy people and celebrities had their own private jets. We can't find the data on this now!"
"Oh... let's wait and see. I didn't expect they could find someone who can fly a helicopter..."
A moment later…
Two small black dots gradually descended in the sky, and dazzling light effects fell from the sky!
"Hiss~! Here he comes, it must be Shen Jin! This light effect...how come it's brighter than last time?"
Shen Jin enchanted all his equipment this time. In addition to being reflective, it also has a faint glow of its own. Now it has almost evolved into an existence that cannot be looked at directly during the day.
“Huff, huff, huff—”
The adjutant looked at the two people falling at a constant speed, his mouth stretched into an O shape: "Wow... what kind of equipment is this? A single-soldier flying machine? Can it fly so high? It's probably... 1,000 meters high!"
The adjutant was a military equipment fanatic and knew all kinds of new equipment. When he saw the backpacks behind the two men slowly ejecting jets to reduce their descent speed, he immediately thought of the country's new individual flying vehicles that only appeared in internal references. "How could they have such equipment... and wouldn't it be that the battery life is seriously insufficient and they rarely use it?"
"But... I remember... it didn't seem to be as simple as what they were wearing. Could it be..."
Xia Anbang suddenly remembered Shen Jin's identity—a person with technological abilities!
Possess the ability to create technology!
“Hiss! This!”
Shen Jin and his companion landed smoothly and looked at the people who came to greet them. They had no weapons in their hands, and the crossbows responsible for alert outside were aimed outside. They just glanced over here. There was a group of 8 people who looked like extraordinary people, led by a man wearing iron gloves on both hands, sitting in the hood of a pickup truck, giving them a friendly smile. There was also a short man who took the initiative to greet them.
Xia Anbang came over with his adjutant.
"They don't seem to have any ill intentions. You don't need to say anything. Just pay attention to their movements." Shen Jin whispered in Shang Qian's ear.
"Um……"
Shang Qian’s mission this time is... to protect Shen Jin, whether it is against humans or zombies. He always has Flash in his hand and can run at any time.
"Hahaha~! Mr. Shen, you're here, come and sit down. This journey should be..." Xia Anbang wanted to say that it was full of difficulties, but seeing how relaxed the two of them were, he swallowed it back, "It should be... the scenery is nice, right?"
"Not really... If you're talking about the air and clouds, they are indeed much better than before, but... I also saw a large number of zombies and many trapped survivors who all need help!"
The reason why the two came late was not just because they saved Li Moxuan's life. On the way, Shang Qian saw several survivors in danger and wanted to rescue them. Shen Jin was not a cold-blooded person, so he naturally had no objection and even helped the rescued people build a simple matchbox.
So it delayed a lot of time.
Along the way...
shocking!
Shen Jin and Shang Qian have stayed in Hongshui Bay for too long and have forgotten how terrifying the end of the world is. Ordinary humans are struggling to survive in groups, and the pressure brought by the surge in evolved zombies makes human survival even more difficult.
Many small groups of zombies roamed around and directly destroyed some small settlements.
Humans being hunted by zombies have only two choices:
One is to be surrounded and eaten by zombies or turn into a zombie; the other is to open the gene lock in the battle, kill the zombies and then eat the energy crystal core of the evolved zombies, find a safe place to survive the backlash after the first gene lock is opened, and achieve extraordinary results!
Therefore, most of the wild extraordinary people in the folk have their genetic locks unlocked.
As for Tianluodiwang, their research direction from the very beginning has been to awaken superpowers in batches. Except for the very first group of people who almost all achieved extraordinary powers through gene locks, the people after them basically had superpowers catalyzed by crystal cores + potions.
But there is always a small number of gifted people. After the end of the world, they directly awaken their special powers and thus possess extraordinary abilities.
There is still no definitive conclusion as to who is more powerful, the one with psychics or the one with gene locks. According to Tianluodiwang's practical lessons, if there is an unlimited fight, except for a few psychics, the two are almost the same, but... if it comes to a fight of life, the one with gene locks will have the upper hand.
Xia Anbang listened to what Shen Jin said, and it seemed that... he had heard similar remarks from Hu Shou, who was always lamenting the difficulties of ordinary people from a high position.
"Ah... we know that too. But our strength is limited. The military base in City D has to face a large number of zombie attacks every day, and we also have to guard against potential threats in the city. The extraordinary power that can be used to clear out the zombies is limited. It is difficult for ordinary soldiers to kill a large number of evolved zombies. But this time, with the 100 [Extractors] you brought, our ability to manufacture 'gene drugs' has been greatly increased, and we will definitely gradually open up the situation in various places!"
Shen Jin was just casually expressing his opinion, but he didn't expect Xia Anbang to answer so seriously.
He seems to be a down-to-earth person, worthy of being a military veteran.
"Well...I'll do my part!"
"Oh! This girl is...?"
Xia Anbang looked at Shang Qian and asked, Shen Jin said calmly: "This is my girlfriend, don't worry about her, she just came out to meet me!"
Xia Anbang thought about the information brought back by Haozi, and naturally knew that the extremely beautiful woman in front of him was the "space power" that Hu Shou called the top auxiliary power.
Possesses the ability to lead people and objects through time and space instantly.
"Haha, okay, please put it in there, we have prepared all the materials for you!"
"Walk!"
The group walked into the "Chongya Welding Rod Factory" and went straight to the warehouse.
"There are about 500 tons of tin and 100 tons of iron in here, all of which are prepared for making welding rods. You can take away the amount you need!"
Xia Anbang looked at the warehouse full of materials and said confidently.
Such a large amount of materials will be of certain help to the government in resuming production. Although not as important as steel, they are also materials for the later production of various alloys. After Shen Jin moves away a part of it, they plan to transport the rest back.
This is a big project.
Shen Jin gave an unpredictable smile: "Oh? Can I move as much as I want? I can move as much as I want?"
Xia Anbang looked at the two people who came empty-handed and thought to himself, even if you have the ability to travel in space, can you still empty my entire warehouse?
"Haha, yes, go ahead!"
Shen Jin nodded: "Then I won't be polite, please ask your people to leave first!"
Oh? Is there a trump card that cannot be shown to others? The true power of the space power user?
Xia Anbang smiled, led his men out, and closed the warehouse door.
Half an hour later...
Shen Jin and Shang Qian suddenly appeared on the flat ground outside, "Let's go!"
Xia Anbang narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people who were using their spatial abilities. His hands were empty at this moment, and he still maintained the same state as before he entered.
"Took it away?"
"Well, that's great. Thank you to our government and Tianluodiwang for their support!"
Shen Jin was truly grateful. He only asked the government for 100 tons of each material, but the result was... 500 tons of tin and 100 tons of iron. It was simply... too polite!
Xia Anbang made a gesture to the people behind him and led the two of them out of the Chongya Welding Rod Factory.
"Okay, then should we go directly to the next place, or wait for you to come back?"
Xia Anbang wanted to know whether the space ability users had the ability to store data, or whether the two of them had just quickly traveled back and forth between their base and here.
Shen Jin shook his head: "No need to go back, let's just go!"
Oh? Space storage?
According to the law of conservation of energy, how much can you, a level 1 transcendent, store?
Hehe...it seems that a little bit of resources can be exchanged for the extremely precious [Extractor]...
Xia Anbang and Shen Jin got on the vehicle arranged by the government and headed straight to the next cable factory.
On the way, I received a call from the adjutant who was checking the warehouse: "Colonel Xia, the warehouse... is empty!"
"What?!... Ahem, tell me!"
Xia Anbang almost choked on himself in the car. He glanced at Shen Jin opposite him and saw that he had returned to normal and nodded with a smile.
"The entire warehouse... is empty, there is no material left..."
“Bang!”
Xia Anbang slapped himself on the leg, it hurt!!!
Shen Jin asked with concern: "What's wrong, Colonel Xia? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xia Anbang looked at Shen Jin, who had a natural look on his face, and forced a smile: "Sure... Mr. Shen... your methods are really superb!"
"Oh! They are all useless," Shen Jin said modestly .
Seeing Xia Anbang in pain, he couldn't bear it, so he asked kindly, "Colonel Xia, how much copper does the cable factory have? I love copper smelting the most..."
Xia Anbang suddenly remembered the 500 tons of copper wire in the warehouse and said immediately, "Not much! We still need it. You can only take away 100 tons at most! No more!"
Shen Jin shook his head regretfully, "Too small, too small!"
"What do you mean?"
"I can only make some wires for you. What if you give it to me?"
Xia Anbang's interest was immediately piqued. He really wanted to know what Shen Jin's special ability was, how he restored the power of science and technology, and even created such a sophisticated instrument as the [Extractor] to perfectly extract the "energy factor" of the energy crystal nucleus. This was a result that even a group of experts from Tianluodiwang couldn't accomplish together!
If these 400 tons of copper wire... can help us figure out Shen Jin's special abilities and take away some new technological creations from him, it would be... unthinkable.
"Then tell me, if I give it to you, what will happen? What kind of technological creation can you make?"
Shen Jin looked at the excited Xia Anbang with a strange expression, and said slowly: "If you give it to me...you won't even be able to build wires!"
“…”
Xia Anbang wanted to curse, but he held back because of his status.
"Sure...Mr. Shen...has a way!"
Shen Jin smiled. It seemed that he didn't have any good technology to provide to the government at the moment, so it was reasonable for them not to give him 400 tons of copper wire... Wait a minute!
Shen Jin suddenly remembered that he seemed to have something that could be exchanged for these 400 tons of materials from the government.
"By the way, is your military base short of electricity?"
