Chapter 119: Xia Ru Obtains the Space Link
“What is this?”
Looking at the wristband-sized watch in his hand, Xia Ru was very confused. Sang Chu explained, “This is a Space Link. It’s not large inside and can be used for you to store Spirit Birds daily for feeding Zombies. You should keep this to yourself.”
Space Link?
Xia Ru’s pupils widened slightly, then he put it on his hand as Sang Chu had taught him. It had a hidden function; only he could see it, and others couldn’t, making its concealment extremely effective.
“Thank you for your trust, Sister Sang.”
“The blue one is a Freezing Gun, the best Weapon against those Zombies. After you store one in your Space, I’ll take you to the Top Floor to get Spirit Birds.”
Xia Ru nodded and walked to the blue area. Looking at the Weapons above, he directly stored one into his Space Link.
The operation was very simple. After putting it on, he could also see what was inside.
Top Floor
Dead Spirit Birds were everywhere. Xia Ru had never imagined there would be so many!
Sang Chu: “These Spirit Birds are very delicate and difficult to raise. All the dead Spirit Birds are recycled into the Warehouse, and Ma Ya Ru knows about this. You can take over from her later. You store them first; take whatever you can.”
“Okay.”
After Xia Ru stored all the Spirit Birds into the Space Link, Sang Chu led him to a wall. After patting the wall in a specific pattern, a downward Passage appeared.
“It’s down there.”
Sang Chu went down first, with Xia Ru following closely behind.
There was also an Observation Post between the Top Floor and the Breeding Farm.
The Observation Post was built above the Breeding Farm. The floor was transparent, offering a clear view below. Beside it was an operation console, displaying Monitor videos and Cage switches.
“When you come down normally, first come to the operation console here to confirm that it’s safe below before going down.”
Xia Ru was shocked by the scale of the place but still calmly nodded, “Okay, I’ll be careful.”
“There’s also a record book here. Lu Min Feng and I have been keeping records. Record the time according to the date on the display screen. You can look at it first.”
Xia Ru nodded and quickly opened it. He discovered that since the start of breeding, about twenty Zombies had awakened Supernatural Abilities, and two had already been retrieved. The Zombies from which Crystal Cores had been extracted had not died!
“Sister Sang, do Zombies not die after their Crystal Cores are extracted?”
“Lu Min Feng and I found a method to extract them alive. Only in this way can they be used repeatedly. Most of the nearby Zombies are basically here. Our Resources are very limited, so we can’t kill the goose to get the eggs. We have to find a way to keep the goose alive so it can keep laying eggs. Therefore, you must keep these things firmly in your heart. Oh, and this is a Mental Power Cultivation Manual. I need you to cultivate it as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if you encounter a Mental Supernatural Ability User, you could easily be controlled and reveal these Secrets.”
Taking the manual Sang Chu handed him, Xia Ru couldn’t help but ask, “Can I learn it even without a Supernatural Ability?”
“Since I’m giving it to you, of course, you can. However, this thing is very precious, and currently, I can only give it to you. Do you understand?”
“I understand, Sister Sang, don’t worry. I won’t leak any information.”
“Yes, if you want to cultivate, it’s best to drink some Spirit Spring Water regularly. The Spirit Spring Water in the Underground City has been diluted and is beneficial to the human body. You just need to go and collect it. It’s different from ordinary water. You can go to Grandmother every day to get a cup, just say I sent you, and she’ll know.”
Xia Ru nodded, then, following Sang Chu’s instructions, he checked the Breeding Farm once before opening the door and walking in.
The light in the Zombie Breeding Farm was very dim. Oil lamps made with Supernatural Abilities were used here. Coming here, Xia Ru finally felt a sense of returning to the Apocalypse.
“Most of these Zombies have awakened Supernatural Abilities and are very sensitive to light. Bright lighting tools are not suitable. There are many discarded Lamps and Candles in the Warehouse, all prepared for this place. You just need to be careful when using them. If you run out, you need to inform me or Lu Min Feng in advance, as making these takes time and effort.”
“Okay, I understand, Sister Sang. Do the colors of these Cages have any special meaning?”
The Cages in each area seemed different. Xia Ru didn’t know the meaning of these colors, so he asked.
Sang Chu pointed to the sensor screen in the middle of the Cage and said, “This is an Ability Detector. Red represents the Fire attribute, green is Wood. If there’s nothing on the display screen, they are likely ordinary Zombies without Supernatural Abilities. However, you’ll have to figure out how to distinguish these yourself.”
“Because the known color attributes are very few, and there are some abilities we don’t know about, we’re not sure what colors or shapes represent them. Therefore, you must be careful when you come down. Once you find any abnormality with a Cage, immediately activate the oxygen depletion mode in the Control Room and release the Sleeping Agent. After all the Zombies here have fainted, you can come in with your equipment, or wait until Lu Min Feng and I return before coming in.”
Although the scale of the Zombie Breeding Farm was not large at the moment, the overall system was quite sound. At least in terms of Safety, as long as one was careful, there wouldn’t be any major issues.
“Will the Sleeping Agent affect these Zombies?”
“It will only make them fall unconscious.”
Xia Ru: “Okay, I understand. If there’s any danger, I’ll release the Sleeping Agent and try to keep them all contained below to prevent any trouble.”
He didn’t have a Supernatural Ability. If something went wrong, the consequences would be unbearable for him.
Sang Chu nodded: “You can handle it as you see fit, with Safety as the priority. Now, try feeding them. Just throw Spirit Bird meat into the Cages. For ordinary Zombies, one or two chickens or a small sheep or calf. For Cages showing one star, double the amount, and so on.”
“Mm.”
Xia Ru started from the front, placing food into the Cages one by one. He quickly reviewed the arrangement of these Zombies and the Level classification of their abilities in his mind. After doing so, he had a rough idea of how many ordinary ones and one-star ones there were.
“Sister Sang, are those Zombies with stitches on their foreheads the ones whose Crystal Cores were extracted?”
“Yes, currently, one has regrown after its Crystal Core was extracted, so they are considered regenerative resources. They are all placed in the last area. Their current condition is unknown, and we don’t know what will happen to them. Therefore, you need to observe them carefully during your shifts and inform Lu Min Feng and me immediately if there are any unusual movements.”
Speaking of this, Sang Chu sighed softly, “Xia Ru, I don’t want my family to be involved in the many gray areas of the Base, and I believe you feel the same. Therefore, I’ll trouble you to look after this place. I will give you four Crystal Cores each month.”
“Two will be publicly announced as compensation for guarding the Warehouse Building, and the other two are for raising Zombies. However, Crystal Cores are not very useful to you at the moment, so I will exchange them for Spirit Stones for you. This will be of great help for your Mental Power cultivation. I hope you can improve your Supernatural Ability as soon as possible to help me.”
