Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone

Chapter 61: Chapter 48 "Decency

In the steadily ascending Elevator No. 7.

Zhou Zhengde rested for a while before getting up and pacing back and forth.

Wang Jixuan absentmindedly fiddled with the detector borrowed from the female officer, pondering a significant question in his heart.

Crystal Core.

The Crystal Core of a low-level Blade Beast, Spirit Gathering Array.

These words kept crossing Wang Jixuan’s mind, and his excited Dao Heart gradually settled down.

For a few moments, he really wanted to rush out to hunt Blade Beasts and strip their Crystal Cores.

According to the rules of the Cultivation World, such actions are always proclaimed as exorcising demons and protecting the Dao.

But reason told him that his understanding of the world outside the fortress was far from sufficient. After witnessing Lingtong’s combat strength, Wang Jixuan saw, indirectly, the power of the Blade Beasts.

Moreover, in the previous introduction about Lingtong, he repeatedly heard one term:

Horror Mecha.

The greatest value of Lingtong was that she was a reserve pilot for the "Horror Mecha." What Wang Jixuan saw was not the full extent of Lingtong’s strength.

In addition, after some inadvertent touches, Wang Jixuan had noticed that Lingtong’s method of becoming stronger involved overextending herself.

[Is there a way to hunt Blade Beasts to obtain Crystal Cores, while also using the technological power here to protect oneself and get through the most vulnerable Foundation Establishment Stage?]

Wang Jixuan kept mulling over this.

The new discoveries had revitalized his Dao Heart, suddenly giving him a much clearer goal.

When he volunteered to go after Kong Nu, he also wanted to take the opportunity to enter the residence of the Spiritual Ability Users to search for those Crystal Cores.

——The Crystal Cores used to infuse materials to produce Spiritual Ability Users, there was a set of simple equipment in this residence, and it was highly likely that there were Crystal Cores that hadn’t been drained of Spiritual Power!

Master Wang looked up at Zhou Zhengde and advised, "Captain Zhou, take a rest, conserve your energy."

"Mu Liang, I’m thinking about a few issues!"

Zhou Zhengde glanced at the corner camera in the elevator and said sternly:

"Those paper talismans of yours, don’t take them out later, try to use them only for yourself."

"Hm?"

"The situation is now out of control, to be precise, it’s not under our control."

Zhou Zhengde said in a low voice:

"It was my lack of consideration; I didn’t expect that Professor Zhuang and Kong Nu had set up a hidden laboratory under the Black Fire Gang. This will definitely lead to power struggles at the battle zone level.

"If those alien secrets of yours are targeted by the Thirteen Institute Headquarters in the Spiritual Ability City, then we’re finished. It’s best that we study them quietly and slowly.

"What Zheng Shiduo explained earlier should be true. I’ve gathered a lot of fragmented information that matches what he said.

"The Spiritual Ability Users’ rebellion over sixty years ago, the Spiritual Ability Council formed by SS-level Spirit Ability Users... The vast amount of information in the possession of Lingtong and Zheng Shiduo was all unknown to us before.

"The Thirteen Institute Headquarters, Spiritual Ability City, is a powerful force that my grandfather couldn’t confront alone."

Wang Jixuan slowly nodded.

If he could safely cultivate under the protection of the fortress for a while, that was naturally the best choice.

If that was not possible, he could also leave the fortress on his own and enter the territory of the Blade Beasts.

While that would be very dangerous, and he might become a target for both the Blade Beasts and the human military,

it was his last resort and not a path he wished to take lightly.

Zhou Zhengde paced for a while and whispered, "I need to contact my mother and the Governor. We can’t just eliminate Kong Nu."

Wang Jixuan asked in confusion, "Then what else should we do?"

"How about we stage a fake death?"

Zhou Zhengde lowered his voice to the minimum:

"Give me a name now, and I’ll arrange a new identity for you, go directly to the Upper City for plastic surgery. Only you and I will know about this, even Wei Na must be kept in the dark."

"But smells can’t be changed, and the same goes for those biological waveforms, biometric data."

Wang Jixuan shook his head:

"No need for plastic surgery, or a fake death, just modify the data for Mu Liang and change the name to Wang Zheng, like Zheng as in to set out on a campaign."

Wang Zheng was his secular name;

Jixuan was his Daoist name, bestowed by his master who saw his fondness for Artifact Refining.

Wang Jixuan added, "If I determine there’s danger here, I’ll leave the 76th Fortress myself."

Zhou Zhengde was startled: "Leave? Where else can you go? The fortress is our last haven."

"I’ll hide in other fortresses. I remember there’s a supply route between fortresses."

Wang Jixuan smiled calmly:

"Don’t worry about me, Captain Zhou. You’ve already helped me a lot, and I will repay you.

"Captain Zhou, are we going straight to the Upper City now?"

Zhou Zhengde didn’t dwell on the word ’repay.’

He spoke quickly, "I need time to arrange things in the Upper City, and these elevators only reach the seventh level. Going from the seventh to the sixth level requires passing through a checkpoint."

"Fine, I’ll go change into some clothes first, at least putting on the Combat Suit and helmet. Can you help me get that sniper rifle?"

"Uh..."

Zhou Zhengde hesitated:

"The Upper City is a training base for warriors; we can’t easily start fights there, it’s almost impossible to conceal."

"Let me try my way first, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll support you in taking down Kong Nu.

"Also, Mu Liang, if my method doesn’t work, and it comes down to the last shot to finish off Kong Nu, it must be me who takes it.

"These Senior Researchers have auxiliary chips implanted in them that capture images through their optic nerves and automatically upload imagery of the killer to the Spiritual Ability City, which is also a means to deter Spirit Ability Users and others."

Wang Jixuan nodded gently.

He looked at the right hand extended in front of him, let out a light chuckle, and clasped Zhou Zhengde’s hand tightly.

...

An hour later.

The third level of the fortress, Spiritual Ability House.
