Chapter 563: Chapter 560: Since You Came, You All Must Die_1

Whether it’s an Evolution Crystal or Evolution Crystal Core, the power it stores is the energy that allows the creature possessing it to function. In this world, there are various forms of power, such as the work produced when a person jumps rope with their arms and legs, the electricity and mechanical force that operate machines, these are all manifestations of power.

All sorts of machines manufactured by humans require various forms of power to operate, so naturally human beings also need power to operate. Machine equipment needs electricity, gasoline, diesel, or manual power to drive, these are all energy sources that keep the machine running.

So, humans themselves must also require energy to operate. What kind of energy is this? Of course, it’s calories! How do you get them? It’s by consuming food through our mouths.

Once food is ingested, it is converted into calories within the body and then used by humans to do any kind of work. From this, we can see that calories is food, and food is calories.

Calories allow living beings to move freely.

So the question is, can calories power machines? Obviously, the answer is no. Anti-life matter, from a certain perspective, can be considered as the zombies’ version of calories. With each movement, zombies consume a certain amount of calories.

At the same time, turning anti-life matter into an energy source requires various procedures. The energy is extracted from within the Evolution Crystals which contain anti-life matter. However, like electricity, this energy is an abstract physical concept. Just like human food, it needs to be eaten to be turned into calories. There’s no way to use food directly as calories.

In the same way, it’s impossible to use an Evolution Crystal directly as an energy storage bank to power a machine.

So, Tang Ye did not believe that the weapon Li Songhua bought was the Evolution Crystal that Ah Fu gestured to be as big as a car wheel.

"What a bullshit weapon, seriously, this is nonsense!"

He muttered a curse laughingly, preparing to focus all his attention on his clone. But after immersing himself for just a short while, a sudden "bang" from the sky jolted him awake!

"What the hell is going on?"

Tang Ye stood up, there were also chaotic discussions coming from below.

"Take a look, what is that?"

"Did someone fire a Quantum Cannon into the sky?"

"But it can’t reach this high, can it?"

"A Quantum Cannon can’t reach this high, it must be some new thing Li Songhua has come up with!"

"Right, it was fired from the direction of the government building!"

"..."

Tang Ye walked to the window, with a swift move, he opened the window. He saw an orange beam of light shooting towards the sky from the centre of the Qinshan Base. However, due to insufficient energy, the beam of light became transparent halfway up.

"What the hell is that?"

The beam of light started to rotate slowly, gradually transforming into a spiral beam. In the end, it split into twelve parts like a firework, followed by a blinding flash, and an orange light shield was formed.

Li Songhua, on top of the building, watched this scene unfold with satisfaction, clapping his hands in applause.

"Well done, well done, really well done! Now let’s move on to the next phase. I’m giving you one month. The equipment of my soldiers must be updated and upgraded within this month!"

Standing behind him were rows of scientific researchers. In comparison to Li Songhua’s excitement, their faces were a picture of despair. No one knew what they had gone through while installing the energy crystal. Like slaves of the ancient times, they sacrificed themselves for the sake of others.

From the energy data extracted from the energy crystals, they knew in their hearts that there was a high chance both the so-called Peace Party and their president were dead. Although this didn’t concern them, in this apocalypse, no matter who won out of the two prevailing powers, they were just tools for either of them.

This was undeniably the saddest reality.

Now it was nearing the end of the year, but snow was starting later than last year. At this moment, it was just beginning to snow lightly, and the weather had turned cold. Unlike last year, there were no longer groups of survivors huddling at the side of the roads for warmth inside the Qinshan Base.

Most had died at the hands of zombies; some had starved to death. The Anti-Zombie Wall Gate was busy with people coming in and out. Most of them were bounty hunters wearing masks or Mercenary Groups composed of survivors.

The sky was blanketed by a snow-white expanse, making this bleak world look even grayer. The falling snowflakes melted instantly once they landed on the orange defensive shield. Paired with the scene on the ground, the streets looked particularly desolate.

In the D District, which has been completely occupied by the Peace Party, there were a lot more soldiers wearing Peace Party uniforms. Some of them had faces full of fervour towards a certain belief, while others were brimming with excitement.

The fervent soldiers were those bound by the glory of the organization, while those who looked excited had just joined the Peace Party. They were thrilled beyond words about the life they had just gained.

There were also a large group of people clamoring to apply to join the Peace Party, desperately crowding the recruitment office. At the same time, the registration soldiers outside the Anti-Zombie Wall Gate looked at a man and woman, who barely had any signs of life, with suspicion in front of them.

The two parties had a chat, and soon the man and woman fell silent. Suddenly, a Level 4 zombie rat popped out from the development area behind them and started messing with the soldiers. The strange man and woman seized the opportunity to sneak into the Qinshan Base.

From the sky, a helicopter infiltrated the Qinshan Base, stopping in front of the orange shield. Four very powerful New Humans descended from it. The minute they got out, they yelled towards the direction of the building: "Li Songhua! Come out!"

Li Songhua stood on top of the building with a wicked smirk on his face. When he walked down to them, he said with a strange tone, "Gentlemen, I’m sorry for not welcoming you from afar."

"Cut the crap. Where’s Jin Wenyi? Hand him over!"

"Oh, you guys lack integrity, don’t you?" Li Songhua peeked into the helicopter and said, "Asking for Jin Wenyi, why not ask for his dad to come out too?"

The four of them exchanged a glance upon hearing that, a flash of killing intent passing through their eyes.

In a distant, inconspicuous corner, Chen Bieli, seeing that Jin Liudong did not show up, stomped her foot angrily and then left.

Li Songhua had Jin Wenyi, the bargaining chip, in his hands. This bargaining chip would very likely give him the ability to leech off Pingnan Base. Why would he hand Jin Wenyi over easily?

However, Chen Bieli underestimated Jin Liudong’s vigilance. Even if his son’s life was in danger, he didn’t show up!

Looking at her phone and thinking about smashing it, but then a suddenly incoming call got rid of this idea.

"Hello? Uncle."

"Where are you now?"

"I’m hiding."

"Okay, my people are already in the Qinshan Base, in C Zone at 3 in the afternoon. You know the place, my people will appear at that time."

"Mm, mm."

Chen Bieli promised in a sweet voice and chatted casually with Jin Liudong for a bit before hanging up.

"That place... since you have come, you can all go to hell! Jin Liudong, you have to show up!"
