HCB Chapter 605 Night Orchid
Chapter 605 Night Orchid
When Su Chen arrived next to the night-blooming jasmine, he even had the illusion that the energy in the air had become tangible!
He carefully reached out and picked the night-blooming jasmine, then put it into his storage space!
As the night-blooming jasmine disappeared, the energy in the air also became much thinner.
However, Su Chen did not waste it.
He found an open space and sat down cross-legged.
With the Qi Gathering Technique activated, within just a few minutes, he had completely absorbed the energy emitted by the Night Orchid.
Su Chen glanced at it and realized that he had already gained more than a thousand energy points in just a short while!
Be nice!
Wouldn't the energy contained in the night-blooming jasmine be tens of thousands?
They successively obtained two high-level energy crystal cores and a night-blooming jasmine.
Su Chen was in a very pleasant mood.
He didn't linger outside, but instead took Mengqi and quickly returned to the base.
After returning to the base, Su Chen went straight to the laboratory at the bottom floor!
"Boss Su!"
After greeting Su Chen, Niu Mingxuan quickly said with a wry smile,
"I still haven't made any progress these past few days..."
"It's alright, I came to see you today for something else!"
Su Chen interrupted him and then took out the night-blooming jasmine he had just obtained.
Looking at the blue flowers blooming freely in front of him, Niu Mingxuan was first stunned, then his eyes widened.
He sensed a strong energy fluctuation emanating from the flower!
"This is……"
"I got the night-blooming jasmine from outside today."
Su Chen explained,
"Didn't your previous research not make much progress?"
"If we were to use this thing for research, are you confident we could make progress?"
Niu Mingxuan's gaze remained fixed on the night-blooming jasmine.
He hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"I'm confident, but I can't guarantee it..."
"It's okay, just go ahead and do it!"
Su Chen smiled.
"As long as you've tried your best, even if you fail, I won't blame you!"
"Alright, please rest assured, Boss Su, I will do my best!"
Niu Mingxuan nodded emphatically.
Although Su Chen said he wouldn't blame him, Niu Mingxuan still didn't dare to be careless.
After receiving the night-blooming jasmine, he first removed a petal and then called to his staff to begin studying it.
It seems unlikely that anything will happen anytime soon.
Su Chen didn't plan to stay there any longer, and instead returned to his office first.
As soon as he entered, he saw Tong Fei holding a communicator, grinning foolishly.
"What's making you so happy?"
Su Chen asked with a smile.
"Boss, you're here!"
Tong Fei put down the communicator and hurriedly came forward, smiling sweetly.
"I just received a message from Mengmeng. She told me that someone in the Watchers is pursuing her!"
When leaving the Watchers base, in addition to the communicator given by Li Kunlin, Xiang Mengmeng also gave Tong Fei a communicator.
Even though they are three or four hundred kilometers apart, they can still chat through a communicator.
"What's so funny about this?"
"Hehe, Mengmeng read that person's love letter aloud right in front of everyone!"
"Not only that, she also mocked that person repeatedly, making him a laughingstock among the Watchers!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but chuckle.
Such behavior is indeed in line with Xiang Mengmeng's character!
"Boss, when will we go back to the provincial capital?"
Tong Fei hugged Su Chen and asked softly.
"What, are you missing Mengmeng?"
Su Chen countered with a question.
"Yeah... I miss her a little."
"It should be soon."
Su Chen stroked Tong Fei's head and pondered for a moment.
"Really?"
Tong Fei suddenly looked up, somewhat surprised.
"Can I still lie to you?"
Su Chen smiled.
"But the time is not yet right."
When Li Kunlin extended an olive branch, Su Chen refused because he didn't want to get entangled in trouble.
But in the few days since he returned, he has realized that there is a significant gap between Shannan and the provincial capital.
The monsters surrounding the provincial capital are not only diverse in type, but also incredibly powerful.
The energy crystals within the body contain abundant energy.
In contrast, consider Shannan City.
Although there are quite a few monsters here, they are all weak monsters like the Blade-toothed Flying Squirrel, the Shadow Rabbit, and the Mist Sheep.
They can provide relatively little energy!
Besides.
Su Chen also discovered that Shannan City did not possess a lot of energy.
Wherever there is an abundance of energy, it has been almost completely absorbed.
To give an example.
Shannan City is like a beginner's village in an online game.
The provincial capital is a better place to level up.
This is why Su Chen considered leaving Shannan City and heading to the provincial capital.
But ultimately, the micro-base is the foundation of the Fierce Tiger Gang.
Su Chen wouldn't leave this place easily until everything was planned out.
……
A highway more than 100 kilometers away from Shannan City.
Several figures were hurrying along with faltering steps.
"Brother Fei, I'm a little tired, why don't we take a break..."
"Dang Han said, panting.
Although they successfully escaped from Yan City.
Unfortunately, they were completely unprepared; they had no transportation, and not even food or water!
In order to avoid being caught by the leaders' alliance, Gao Fei led Dang Han and the others to escape Yancheng overnight and head towards Shannan!
They have been traveling all this way without taking a break.
Dang Han's eyes were lifeless, his face was pale, and his lips were chapped.
Even he, as an evolved being, was so exhausted.
Not to mention the other superhumans!
Gao Fei felt a pang of pity, and just then he saw a signboard lying on its side.
The sign indicates that there is a highway service area a few kilometers ahead!
"Hang in there, everyone! There's a service area up ahead. We'll rest once we get there!"
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope ignited in the eyes of Dang Han and the others!
Despite their exhaustion, they persevered and continued on their way.
Before long, Gao Fei and his group arrived at the highway service area.
So much time has passed since the apocalypse, the service area has long been abandoned.
Broken glass was everywhere, trash was everywhere, and weeds were growing rampant.
There were also more than a dozen scrapped cars parked haphazardly in the service area.
After entering the service area lobby, Gao Fei let the other ability users rest, while he took Dang Han to find food and water.
Fortunately, the sky is endless.
They were surprised to find a lot of drinking water and canned goods in the shops at the service area.
They casually set up a stove, chopped up some firewood, and put the kitchen pot on it.
After the water boiled, Gao Fei, Dang Han, and the others drank some water and ate some canned food.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, their complexion improved considerably!
"Brother Fei, it seems we've taken the wrong turn."
Dang Han smiled wryly.
"Well, I discovered it too."
Gao Fei also sighed.
Judging from the name of this highway service area, the road they were on did not lead to Shannan City.
