In the night the cool breeze. Since the base lacked a generator, the street lights that were on the main road, at night they stopped. The entire base was covered by a large area of darkness, except for the special buildings that had lights.
After the meeting.
Si Huaixi walked out, his sea-blue eyes became deeper against the late night. He took out a cigarette and lit the scarlet fire, faint as if it would be extinguished at any time, and then it appeared and disappeared.
The people who saw it walking out were a bit addicted to cigarettes.
Cao Lei Peng looked at Si Huaixi’s cigarettes eagerly, and asked politely: “Brother Si, can I exchange some wine with you? There is still some good wine in the house. I smoked almost three times before the end of my life. A ten-year-old smoker, it’s more uncomfortable not to smoke for a few months than not to eat.”
It’s been hard to find anything these days. Although the wine is precious, it won’t get bad after decades and even after hundreds of years. Even though you will find it by chance.
Tobacco is different. It has a short shelf life and cannot be used when it is damp. In the end times, no one has the leisure time to grow tobacco and cannot smoke. Therefore, alcohol and tobacco are luxury goods in the end times, and tobacco is rarer than alcohol.
Si Huaixi also walked in the wilderness for more than a month, and unexpectedly found an uninhabited field of wild tobacco, and was attacked by a supernatural plant.
Si Huaixi glanced, and said lightly: “No exchange.”
He doesn’t like alcohol, and he prefers cigarettes when he is calming his brain, rather than throwing everything away and immersing himself in the chaotic drunkenness.
He ignited the strong nose-suffocating tobacco, and his throat was slightly burning. As if it melted into the hazy burst of smoke, his brain is relaxed and awake…
Cao Lei Peng rubbed his hands and bargained several times to no avail. Si Huaixi spits ‘No’ coldly every time. Chief Cao was bored and had to change the subject: “Are you determined to go?”
Cao Lei Peng’s face had a slightly serious expression. Regarding the question of going to the Computer City at the meeting just now, he knew that Si Huaixi’s mind could not be changed.
Si Huaixi let out a random ‘Um’.
Cao Lei Peng: “Brother Si, why don’t you take me with you? I haven’t used my hands and feet in a long time. If I don’t kill any zombies, I’m afraid I will forget how to kill.”
Si Huaixi: “No, there must always be a high-level ability user in the base.”
Cao Lei Peng pondered for a moment: “Then I will send a team of supernaturalists to assist you. When do you plan to go?”
Si Huaixi: “As soon as possible. I can do it alone.”
Cao Lei Peng frowned: “According to the regulations of the base, you should go out to find supplies with at least a three-person ability users team. This time you have to go to such a far place. Why do you take a few ability users? The wilderness is perilous, even if you can take care of yourself. I have confidence in your strength, but multiple companions can take care of you and it will be easier to accomplish the task.”
Now it was Si Huaixi’s turn to frown: “They will get in the way, they are too slow, and might want me to protect them. Just give me a modified car, as long as I can put down the engine, I don’t need a truck.”
Cao Lei Peng said earnestly: “Do you know how many zombies there are?”
Si Huaixi said lightly: “Well, I have been there before, and I probably know what level of zombie reside there.”
Cao Lei Peng hesitated for a while, and asked, “Can’t you even take me with you?”
Si Huaixi pursed his lips, his eyes turned darker under the blur of the night. The smoke between his fingers was about to burn out, and he stood there casually and silently.
Cao Lei Peng said in a low voice: “Compared with previous years, there are fewer bases for our Lucheng base to exchange materials. Will we still take a fixed route this year?”
Si Huaixi’s eyes narrowed slightly: “No, change a small part.”
Cao Lei Peng’s face brightened, and he laughed abruptly: “Okay, it’s so decided. I will send a few supernaturalists. Don’t refuse, just take multiple porters.”
It can be considered a luxury to use a person with supernatural power as a porter.
Si Huaixi frowned slightly: “They will get in the way.”
Cao Lei Peng smiled disapprovingly and said: “The big deal is that multiple people help you watch the car. What if you fight with zombies and something happens to the car? It’s not like you didn’t say that there are fewer cars in the base.”
Si Huaixi was slightly speechless. This could be counted as lifting a rock and hitting himself in the foot. When he thought about it, he couldn’t refuse, and said, “Whatever.”
Cao Leipeng said gratifyingly: “You are in a hurry. It takes more than ten days to go back and forth. Zhang Rong and Li Sheng and their teams of supernatural powers searching for supplies in the wilderness have other tasks. Although their power type has limitations in dealing with zombies, they can just help you carry things with great strength.”
Si Huaixi raised his eyebrows: “When the time comes, I will fight the zombies and let them run away.”
Cao Leipeng laughed and said, “Hahaha—they are all old fried dough sticks of the last days. Can’t you run if you can’t beat them?”
Si Huaixi: “OK.”
Decide who you want to go to in two or three minutes.
Cao Leipeng took the opportunity to be cheeky and rubbed Si Huaixi’s cigarette. Under Si Huaixi’s contemptuous eyes, he slowly spit out a thick nicotine smoke ring and said: “Your sister-in-law knows that you have come back to the base. I want to treat you with sweet and sour fish, but I didn’t expect the meeting to go on so late. You probably didn’t have time to eat when you just came back, but do you want to come to my house for a meal?”
Si Huaixi just wanted to refuse, but in the blink of an eye, he thought of…
Fish and cats like to eat it.
The original refusal was turned into, “Okay.”
Today, He hurriedly left Maomao outside the base. I originally thought of rushing back after handling things. I didn’t think that Maomao would be angry when Cao Lei Peng held a meeting so late.
Si Huaixi was a little anxious in his heart, and the look in his eyes became a little cold.
Cao Lei Peng was a little stunned and more surprised, it was rare that Si Huaixi agreed.
On weekdays, Si Huaixi is lonely. He is a powerful supernatural person, and he does not find someone to help him with housework and cooking. Every time he comes back from the task, he just eats casually and looks a little bit… Pitiful.
Even his wife often nags him to let Si Huaixi come to his house for a meal, but he has invited Si Huaixi eight times, and he always refuses. Many people still want to introduce Si Huaixi to their girls through him. Some people want to introduce their boys, but after knowing Si Huaixi for so long, He hasn’t seen what type of person he likes…
Just when Cao Lei Peng’s thoughts did not know where to diverge, Si Huaixi, who had already walked in front of him, urged slightly dissatisfied: “Don’t want to leave yet?”
Cao Lei Peng followed, staring at Si Huaixi’s pace faster than before, muttering in his heart: Hell, when did he go to his house so aggressively?
The observation room of the base.
People who have always entered the base have to go through a 24-hour observation period to check whether there are any wounds on their bodies or that they have been bitten by zombies before they are allowed to enter the base.
Pei Zhaozhou has been locked in for four or five hours, and the light can still be seen when the day is still bright. Now it is dark, and the room is so dark that there is no afterglow of the moonlight.
Because of Pei Zhaozhou’s alpha physique of the S-class gene, he can slightly perceive some tables and chairs blocking the way in the dark, otherwise, he might have stumbled when he walked here like this.
Silver Arc also disliked this backward place, not even lighting, let alone a sweeping robot, to clean up this dusty and dirty room.
Silver Arc said: Master, do I need Silver Arc to make a light source?
Silver Arc comes with a set of energy equipment to support its operation, and it is not a problem to consume a little energy to create a pure energy light source.
Pei Zhaozhou denied Silver Arc’s good intentions and said: “No, your stored energy can last a long time temporarily, but there is no source of replenishment of energy here. If you consume energy casually, I’m afraid you will also shut down.”
Silver Arc was terrified: Huh? Master, there will be a day of downtime for Silver Arc!
This is even more terrifying than the horror movie downloaded on Star Net with its owner behind it.
It is the most advanced intellectual brain that has never shut down since its birth. It is facing the crisis of shutting down like those abandoned robots. It seems to be able to imagine that when it shuts down, it will be pulled into the interstellar incineration plant unprepared and can no longer be used. The machine, the chip, will be melted by the fire like the classic horror movie scene of the robot.
Silver Arc immediately started crying and said: Woohoo, Yinhu doesn’t want to stop, don’t want to leave the owner…
Pei Zhaozhou rubbed his brows because of the constant crying mechanical sounds in his head.
I was upset that I was careless at first. When I was young, I wanted to make the smartest and most humanized intellectual brain, but unexpectedly raised the intellectual brain’s emotional system to the highest level. The intelligent brain’s silver arc has learned from a variety of human TV dramas and movies. He has learned to be more sensitive and emotional than a real human being.
Pei Zhaozhou had no choice but to appease: “Silver Arc, calm down, and help me find a way for energy production suitable for this planet. The power core energy of the spacecraft lacks the energy stone. I have to make a replacement energy.”
Wisdom Brain Silver Arc immediately calmed down and became the best working state.
‘Searching for information… Inquiry… The star network disconnected… Performing internal data network query…’
‘Search results: 1329 kinds of energy production methods, 237 kinds of energy methods suitable for launching the spacecraft…’
‘Energy production method suitable for this planet… Inquiry…’
‘Query error!! This planet is unknown and has not been included in the interstellar internal data network. It is necessary to analyse the planet’s soil, atmosphere, water resources and other components to obtain the types of elements contained in the planet to obtain an energy method suitable for this planet.’
Pei Zhaozhou frowned slightly.
The problem of being unable to connect to the star network can be big or small. The library of tens of thousands of years of human wisdom can be gathered on the star network, which stores countless books on the top human science and technology wisdom, down to a small sweeping robot, to a large space leap that spans tens of thousands of light-years in the universe.
However, Pei Zhaozhou also expected that the star network could cover several galaxy planet areas, and it would be impossible to cross into another universe. Fortunately, he usually browses the interstellar human library, just in case, and lets the Silver Arc automatically download a copy, and the storage information database that comes with Silver Arc should be able to cope with this difficulty
