The system is three years ahead of schedule, but the apocalypse has never come!

When Li Dongzhen took him to the room dedicated to storing Old Man Li's body and saw Old Man Li's corpse turned into a zombie, Su Bai felt a little regretful:

Why did he only give away one power seed instead of a few more?

However.

After listening to Li Dongzhen's theory about Old Man Li, Su Bai understood [when he chose to become the top person in charge of the Security Bureau... his end was already doomed.

It's not that I can't, but I don't want to.

According to Old Man Li's own theory, let alone sending a few more superpower seeds, even if he sends thousands more seeds, as long as they cannot reach the level of one in a human hand, he will still choose to accept his fate!

after all.

The keynote of his theory is fairness.

What he wants is not a few supernatural seeds, but the purity of the Rescue Legion's beliefs.

On this basis.

Not to mention giving him a few more power seeds, even if he is forced to fuse with one power seed... probably, his final outcome will not change.

after all.

In the eyes of this stubborn old man, the purity of the Rescue Legion's beliefs is more precious than his own life!

Return to Linjiang City.

Return to the shelter.

Until he returned to the research center located in the underground area, Su Bo was still in a bad mood.

certainly.

Compared with his own discomfort, he was more worried about Li Xiangling's reaction when he learned the news - Old Man Li was her biological grandfather and the only one she had in this world!

When she thought her grandfather was alive and well in the headquarters base of Imperial City, scolding Fang Qiu to save the world, he had turned into a cold corpse...

How should she accept this cruel reality?

Suddenly.

Su Bai thought of Li Xiangling's strange reaction when he proposed to take Li Xiangling to visit the Imperial City last time.

Feeling excited.

There was hesitation.

It seems... there is also fear?

I didn't understand it at the time, I just thought that Li Xiangling was thinking about the survivors and didn't want to leave at the most critical time and delay the rescue work of the rescue corps.

Now it seems.....….

seem.

At that time, Li Xiangling had a premonition, right?

It was precisely because of the premonition that she hesitated, she was afraid, and she did not dare to go to the imperial capital to see in person...whether her grandfather was who she thought he was!

As long as you don't look at it or think about it, you can still live well in the imperial city at the age of 21.

In this world, the person who knows Li Songqing best is not Li Dongzhen, but Li Xiangling.

after all.

She was trained by her grandfather, and most of her character comes from his grandfather.

When Li Xiangling herself could resolutely leave the [Tiangong] Sanctuary and go to the Magic City in order to fulfill the mission of the Rescue Corps... how could her grandfather be an exception?

"It's better not to say anything."

"When the time is right, she will naturally know."

Li Songqing's voice and smile kept reappearing in his mind, and finally stopped at the last scene of his speech "Taixia's Letter to All Compatriots".

[Shuguang City is real!]

[May vitality reappear and dawn return; may civilization restart and continue Yinxia!】

"Auroville City?"

Su Bai murmured to himself.

He raised his head and looked at the small figure in front of him: "Queen Red, tell me, how long will it take to build a Dawn City?"

Dawn City, which appears at the end of "The End of the World", is a city of salvation that can accommodate tens of millions of people and represents the last dawn of mankind and the restart of human civilization.

The Red Queen has naturally watched "The End of the World".

She made a simple calculation and then said: "If we just build it according to the specifications in the movie, it will take about a year to complete the initial outline of Dawn City."

"Just a year?"

Su Bai was a little surprised.

"It's only one year." The Red Queen nodded and said: "Master, you underestimate the current [Tiangong] Sanctuary. Because your eyes have always been on cracking the black mist, upgrading the omnics, and The study of zombies is a subject that transcends the times, so I feel that the [Tiangong] shelter is at best safer and more luxurious than other shelters.

"But in fact, with full release of production capacity, the production capacity and construction capacity of the [Tiangong] shelter have already exceeded the limits of the times!"

"The main part of Dawn City in the movie is just ordinary metal and rock."

"Master, if you need it, the shelter's production capacity will be fully released [the number of mining robots, production robots and engineering robots under the Red Queen will increase tenfold in ten days]"

open!"

"As long as the corresponding robots are in place, it is not that difficult to build a Dawn City made of ordinary metal and rocks."

The reason why omnics are omnics is that they can be built and multiplied infinitely given sufficient resources.

before this.

Su Bai's eyes have always been on higher technology and stronger combat power, and he didn't care at all about the ordinary basic machinery that was basically not helpful in the battle.

"Resources, can we keep up?"

Su Bai asked, this is the biggest limitation of omnics.

"Originally, we couldn't keep up. After all, the mineral resources around Linjiang City are not rich." The Red Queen said, "But with the Juemo Plating, we can keep up."

"The mining robot with the ultimate magic coating has shifted its goal of collecting minerals from parallel to vertical. Now the deepest mine has almost reached the mantle layer.

"As long as we reach the mantle... resources will no longer be a problem for us."

mantle layer.

Su Bai was a little shocked.

He vaguely remembered that the average thickness of Blue Star's crust was about 17 kilometers... Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, the shelter's mine was about to penetrate the crust?

"It takes a year to build an ordinary Dawn City."

"What if the construction and shelter are like Dawn City, made of special alloys and integrated into a series of modules?"

Su Bai asked again.

"The construction period will be extended for another three months." The Red Queen did a simple calculation and replied.

If we just change the materials used to build Dawn City's framework from ordinary metals and rocks to special alloys, it won't take long. At most, a process of smelting special alloys is added to it.

What takes more time is to integrate the various modules of the shelter into it, making it like a shelter and integrated with the entire shelter management system.

"In this case, let's start the construction!" Su Bai said decisively: "As for the construction drawings of Shuguang City..."

Without waiting for Su Bai to say more.

Two city construction drawings composed of light appeared in front of him.

The first drawing is naturally the drawing of Dawn City that appears at the end of the movie "The End of the World".

The second drawing... was actually a drawing redesigned by the Red Queen in just a few seconds after Su Bai put forward her request!

The Dawn City originally shown in "The End of the World" was designed by the Security Bureau by inviting corresponding experts. It can be said to integrate combat defense, living and production, and cultivation.

It has a bit of futuristic science fiction feel.

However.

After seeing the second drawing given by the Red Queen...Su Bai couldn't look away immediately!

If this blueprint can really be realized... Shuguang City will no longer be Shuguang City, but will really be qualified to be called [Heavenly Palace]!

Gudong!

Su Bai couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He stared straight at the second drawing and asked in disbelief: "Energy, can you follow H?"

"It's a bit difficult at the moment."

Red Queen Truth Report reported: "But once the main framework of Dawn City is built, the ultimate magic material is developed, and a new generation of energy core and energy supply system will probably be available, there shouldn't be a big problem."

"Then build according to the second drawing!"

Su Bai decided excitedly.

after all.

Who can refuse to have a heavenly palace of their own? Moreover, this heavenly palace is integrated with intelligent core and intelligent modules, and is completely under the control of the Red Temple!

The ultimate magic material needs to be researched.

Omnic upgrades require research.

Zombie cores need to be prepared.

The Zombie Queen needs research.

The construction of Dawn City requires preparation.

Fortunately, Honghou is only an intelligent core, and it is a rule-level intelligent core. As long as the resources can keep up, countless kinds of research and work can be carried out at the same time.

otherwise.

If the Red Queen is like a human being and can only carry out one job at a time... Su Bai will be exhausted from all the research, construction and production tasks assigned one by one!

Ever since.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the mines under the [Tiangong] shelter extended into the mantle of the Blue Star and began to provide a steady stream of resource support for the shelter.

The scale of the underground steel city is constantly expanding. More and more mining robots, production robots, construction robots and engineering robots are produced and put into a new round of expansion and construction of the steel city.

Along with this process.

The number of basic omnics with added magic plating is also soaring rapidly.

From five hundred, to one thousand.

Then count down from one thousand to several thousand.

Because Su Bai had already built rock barriers in Linjiang City, Magic City, and Imperial City, which greatly improved the safety of the rescue team and survivors, he did not go there in the next few days.

Instead, he stayed at the research center.

Absolute magic materials, omni-machine upgrades, mining and production, city construction... Su Bai naturally cannot get involved in these.

But he can still help with the research on zombie crystal cores and zombie queens.

2025, July 23.

The ninth day of the end of the world.

Sitting in the research center, in a room specially opened for herself by the Red Queen, Su Bai had a row of test tubes of different colors placed in front of her.

The liquid in these test tubes is the result of his and Red Queen's research and separation of zombie crystal nuclei!

The cyan test tube is a strength-enhancing potion. Just one can increase an ordinary person's strength attributes to the first level.

The white test tube is an agility-enhancing potion. Just one can increase an ordinary person's agility attribute to the first level.

The green test tube is a physical strengthening potion.

The purple test tube is a mental strengthening potion.

The yellow test tube is a picture of the physical recovery medicine.

The blue test tube is a mental recovery potion.

The red test tube is an all-attribute-enhancing potion. Just one potion can raise all the four-dimensional attributes of an ordinary person to the first level!

A total of seven test tubes and seven medicines are the results of Su Bai and Hong Hou's research in the past few days!

If it were just to process and purify the zombie crystal nuclei, it would naturally not take so long.

The key is, against the zombie crystal core

Analysis and separation!

Using ordinary means to process and purify zombie crystal nuclei will not only result in low utilization of the energy essence contained in them, but also uncertainty in the enhancement of the four-dimensional attributes.

At most, they can be simply distinguished based on the evolutionary direction of the zombies from which a certain crystal nucleus comes.

But after Su Bai and the Red Queen analyzed and separated the energy essence contained in the zombie crystal nuclei, and produced these strengthening potions and recovery potions... not only the benefits of the energy essence were

The utilization rate has increased to as high as 98%, and the different components have been completely separated, forming a series of strengthening potions that act on a certain attribute alone!

and.

After this complete set of analysis and separation processes is perfected, not only the first-order zombie crystal nuclei, but also the subsequent second- and third-order zombie crystal nuclei, all the way to the fifth- and sixth-order zombie crystal nuclei, are also completely

This process can be used to analyze and separate and produce different strengthening potions and recovery potions!

Generally speaking.

An ordinary person who has never undergone any enhancement, if he wants to upgrade a certain basic attribute of his to the first level, he needs to absorb the energy from ten first-level zombie crystal cores.

If only one-third of the purest energy essence in the zombie crystal core is absorbed, approximately twenty first-order zombie crystal cores will be needed.

And what about a first-level attribute-enhancing potion?

The cost is only five zombie crystal cores!

It directly doubles the utilization rate of the energy contained in the zombie crystal core by humans! And the effect is the same as absorbing one-third of the purest energy essence! No.

There are no side effects!

143In this way.

By analyzing and separating the zombie crystal nuclei and making them into attribute-enhancing potions, the profit margin has been doubled!

With double the profit margin, Su Bai can collect the zombie crystal cores from the rescue corps and survivors, make them into attribute-enhancing potions, and then return half of them to them.

in this way.

The actual attribute improvements obtained by the rescue corps and survivors have not only not been reduced, but also do not have any side effects of distortion or alienation; and the part of the energy that would have been wasted

It will become Su Bai's profit and become the other half of the attribute enhancement potion!

It’s a win-win situation!

certainly.

If it were just a first-level attribute enhancement potion, he wouldn't have to go to such trouble.

Because there are only so many people around him, even without this set of analysis and separation procedures, just absorbing the purest ray of energy essence in the zombie crystal core can easily improve

enhance their four-dimensional attributes.

but.

After purifying and transforming the energy in the zombie crystal core many times... the Red Queen mastered the technology of using the energy essence of the first-level zombie crystal core to create a second-level attribute-enhancing potion!

This means.

When the evolution level of zombies is still at the first level, and only first-level zombie nuclei can be born... the people around Su Bai can use the second-level attribute-enhancing potions, eh

My basic attributes have been upgraded to the second level!

Facing first-level zombies with second-level strength...it can be imagined that it is a huge difference in dimensionality reduction.

Again.

If the Red Queen continues to perfect this technology, later on, it is impossible for her to use the first-level zombie crystal core to create intermediate-level and fifth-level zombies through repeated purification and transformation.

Even a sixth-level attribute-enhancing potion!

By that time.

It’s not just the people around Su Bai who benefit, but also himself!

Su Bai's current four-dimensional attributes are: strength 210, agility 210, constitution 210 and spirit 970.

Such four-dimensional properties.

Zombie crystal cores below level five have no effect on him at all.

And a zombie lord who can give birth to a fifth-level zombie crystal core... Su Bai estimates that it will not be born in at least the next six months.

But with such a technology, Su Bai can purchase a large number of first-order zombie crystal nuclei, continuously purify and transform them, and finally make them into fifth-order or even sixth-order attributes with strong attributes.

Chemical potion!

In one fell swoop, he strengthened his four-dimensional attributes to the peak of the fifth level, and even entered the sixth level!

This way.

All the free attributes he obtains from the system can be added to his own mental attributes!

To know.

Whether it is now or in the future.

There are always the most zombies at the first level.

The birth of this technology will not only enable the evolution speed of human beings to surpass that of zombies, but also allow the survivors to reach the first or second level in the middle and late stages of the apocalypse.

level.

The largest number of first-order zombie crystal cores are still a valuable resource, instead of being reduced to useless garbage!

Such as now.

The second-level all-attribute strengthening potion in Su Bai's hand was created using multiple purification and transformation technologies!
