The End of the Earth

Chapter 216 The Dark Crystal is Stolen

Rocket Base Command Center Building

In the demon cocoon on the top floor, Xiang San returned to this place that made him feel at ease.

However, he could not control the cocoon and the mass-absorbing tower on the roof, which had grown more than ten times larger.

Although it cannot be controlled, there is still some connection between the cocoon and his demon cells.

There were some polygonal crystals scattered at the door of the cocoon, emitting a dark purple glow. It seemed that they were squeezed out from another room.

Xiang San picked up a piece of crystal, which was very light. After scanning and analysis, he found that there was a high concentration of dark matter factor inside the crystal.

Dark Crystal

"That's the capacity of a mass absorption tower. That's pretty impressive."

Just as he was happy, he detected some biological traces, indicating that other people had visited the demon cocoon in the past few days.

The nano-terminal particles he brought to the rocket base had already covered all people and objects, and within a few seconds he found the target who had entered the demon's cocoon.

The core area is where the upper floors of the rocket base are located, and the top floor of the command building is a restricted area within the restricted area.

This incident made Xiang San very unhappy. Upon learning about it, Shan Qiao immediately ordered the target to be arrested.

Core Area Special Prison

This is a small prison built next to an underground planting area, which also serves as an interrogation room.

A deputy captain of the Tianxing patrol team was being tortured on the torture device, wailing incessantly.

"I didn't say it, please stop torturing me, please adults, please forgive me.

I didn't intend to deceive you from the beginning. Why did you bring me here and torture me without asking any questions? Ouch~

Please, stop torturing me."

Shan Qiao's deputy and a group of captains and captains in charge of public security in the core area looked coldly at the man who made them angry.

"In the entire base, you are the only damned thing who has offended Commander Xiang. The top floor of the command center building is a forbidden area in the core area. Not even Master Shan Qiao can enter without the permission of Master Xiang.

How dare you, a mere deputy captain, trespass in?

These torture instruments are just your appetizers. Tell me the whole story clearly. The omnipotent Commander Xiang will be able to tell whether it is true or false at a glance. If what you said is wrong, I will let you use all the torture instruments in this core area!

Don't worry, I promise you will be able to enjoy these torture instruments before you die."

This warden was recently promoted by Shan Qiao and is very skilled in torture. The population of the rocket base has increased dramatically recently, and some basic functions have been put on the agenda by the top management of the rocket base.

This prison is one of them, which can hold up to about one hundred people. As for why it was built near the underground planting area.

One is for concealment, and it also makes it easier to deal with some dirty things.

Another reason is that it is convenient to deal with corpses. The fertilizer made from corpses has some good uses for the soil in the planting area.

Command Building Conference Room

"So, there has indeed been trading of dark matter crystals within the base during this period?"

Shan Qiao was also a little nervous. Xiang San rarely got angry, and he didn't expect that a deputy captain of the core area would dare to enter Xiang San's floor without permission.

"Yes, this thing started to appear during the battle with the evil life forms. I sent people to investigate, but couldn't find the source.

In addition, due to the frequent attacks on the base by the army of evil life forms, this matter has been shelved.

It was my negligence.”

Xiang San knew that Shan Qiao was telling the truth. With the army of evil life forms attacking, he naturally couldn't focus on investigating such things. Moreover, there were indeed loopholes in the supervision within the base.

"I've read your research materials, and the trade in dark matter crystals is quite frequent."

Shan Qiao pondered, "I've studied it carefully, and especially when evil life forms attack, transactions are more frequent.

It seems to be related to some evil life form."

Xiang San smiled and said, "It's not related to the evil life forms, but it's related to the evil life forms attacking the base.

In every defense against the wave of attacks, besides our regular soldiers, are the residents of the base also helping to resist? "

“Indeed, after all, the evil life forms have breached the base’s defenses, and they themselves are in imminent danger.

There are currently many residents in the outer areas, and quite a few of them are fusionists with hidden identities."

Xiang San snapped his fingers:

"That's right! I guess these people discovered that dark matter crystals can provide dark matter consumption factors, so when the evil life forms attack, they will buy a lot of them."

Shan Qiao immediately understood that there were regulations within the base that all transactions of goods must be inspected by the base officials.

Things like dark matter crystals, which have unknown origins, can only be traded privately.

"So, Commander? This matter?"

Xiang San looked at Shan Qiao meaningfully and asked:

"What will you do, my Lord Shan Qiao?"

Shan Qiao's eyes turned cunningly:

"I do have an idea. Since the dark matter crystal was stolen from the commander by the vice-captain,

If possible, we can use dark matter crystals to bribe those fusionists with considerable strength. There are fewer and fewer fusionists now, and even fewer who can maintain their humanity and possess powerful strength.

As it happens, there are quite a lot of fusionists in our base. This is an opportunity to absorb this group of fusionists to strengthen the armed forces of the base.

The commander didn't know that the person who contacted the deputy captain was a representative from the outer area, who used these dark crystals to win over many fusionists.

If we hadn't arrested this deputy captain today, we really wouldn't have been able to catch this representative's flaws."

Xiang San was very satisfied with Shan Qiao's answer. At least what he was thinking about was acceptable in his current position.

"Very good, from now on you will be personally responsible for the security of the top floor demon cocoon.

I'm leaving that room full of dark matter crystals to you.

If something like today happens again, I will remove you from your position and let Gniev take your place."

"Who? Gnief? That drunkard? Well, I think I should just work hard and keep my position as the head of the base.

If Gniev takes over, the whole base will become drunkards. Hahahaha."

Xiang San couldn't help but laugh and pointed at Shan Qiao. He totally agreed with this.

After dealing with the cocoon theft incident, Xiang San began to work on the major upgrade project of the base. Some of the nano-terminal particles in the atmosphere have settled to various places in the base, and the base facilities and various vehicles will be upgraded and renovated soon.

Compared to Xiang San's dedicated work, Answei's affairs are much simpler.

She moved into Eva's home, and Eva's family lived in the Black Bear House living building.

Because it was Xiang San who arranged it, Gniev took special care of this family and allocated very good accommodation and food. Also because of Gniev's special care, Eva's parents behaved humbly and took care of other people or things in need of help in the Black Bear House to the best of their ability. They also had a good reputation in the Black Bear House.

Eva's Room

There was a wooden bed, a sofa made of unknown animal fur, and wallpaper with pink stars all around. Ansevi and Eva were sitting on the sofa watching TV. It was a very old TV that Shan Qiao had sent to Eva's house, and a matching DVD player was also brought along.

Eva's parents refused, and Eva, who felt curious, was about to leave.

“Was the city really so beautiful in the past?”

Eva murmured in ecstasy.

"That's great, eh! Eva? Do you think there will be a day when we can go back to the past?"

"Huh? Back to the past? How?"

"Idiot~ If things like worlds overlapping can happen, then traveling back in time is also possible~"

Eva nodded, not quite understanding.
