"Active energy!" Luo Yuan could not hold it in anymore, even though he was usually calm. He felt like he had found a treasure.
Compared to this thing, the heart, brain, snake gall, and other essential parts of mutant creatures were not worth mentioning.
Mutated creatures had more or less active energy. The stronger they were and the higher their level, the more active energy they had.
This kind of energy could be directly absorbed by the human body to improve its quality. As far as Luo Yuan knew, normally, a blue level creature could increase its main attributes, including Agility, Strength and Physique to about 11 points if it consumed it for a long time. Light green level creatures could increase it to about 12 points.
And this was just the effect of ordinary flesh and blood. How could the free active energy compare to this almost crystallized and solidified active energy?
To be honest, at Luo Yuan's level, it was very difficult for him to make any progress.
To an ordinary person, a treasure from Heaven and Earth had no effect on him other than filling his stomach.
Ordinary people could eat high-level mutated beasts to quickly and easily increase their strength, but he could only rely on the system and his own hard work to slowly increase his strength. Now, this path was gradually blocked, and as the difficulty of the mission increased rapidly, his strength could not improve, and the road ahead was becoming more and more difficult.
This thing that looked like a stone and energy gave Luo Yuan a glimmer of hope.
He quickly hid the active energy in his pocket carefully.
To avoid missing anything, Luo Yuan carefully checked again. All the internal organs had been cut into pieces, and even the brain had been mixed several times. Even the stomach that was left in the giant snake's abdominal cavity had been cut open by the tip of the knife.
There was only one, and there were no more. Luo Yuan then wrapped everything up with a big piece of snake skin.
He weighed all the internal organs and brain, and it was about 150 kilograms. It was not much lighter than the turtle egg from last time.
Luo Yuan carried the bag on his back and strode back. Of course, to hide it, he had already put the Zhanmadao back into its scabbard.
...
Other than the pause when the giant snake had first appeared, the moving process was completed in less than half an hour.
Then, a few cranes and two empty heavy container trucks drove to the side of the giant snake's body.
After the seven or eight engineers jumped down, they took out their electric saws and started cutting up the giant snake's body. Every one of them moved quickly and did not hesitate when facing such a huge monster. It was obvious that they were already familiar with the job.
One of the engineers seemed to want to search the giant snake's stomach, trying to find the soldier's regret. Unfortunately, the inside had already been digested, and not even his clothes or shoes were left.
Although the carcass of the giant snake was much smaller than that of the sea beasts, it was still one meter thick and dozens of meters long. Its total weight was also thirty to forty tons. If it was not processed, it could not be transported by truck. The bones of the giant snake were hard, far harder than ordinary metals. Sparks flew everywhere from the chainsaw, and several hacksaws broke during the process. Finally, the giant snake was cut into five or four pieces. Then, a crane was used to lift the pieces of corpse and stuff them into the container.
At this time, the rescue team had successfully completed their mission!
Two heavy bulldozers roared loudly as they slowly moved forward. Regardless of whether it was boulders or shrubs, they were all pushed down by the huge steel shovels in front of the bulldozers. After driving for a while, more than 20 heavy trucks also started to move, followed by various kinds of engineering vehicles.
All the vehicles were lined up in a long line.
The armored personnel carrier had already been destroyed by the giant snake. Luo Yuan, the survivors, and a few soldiers could only sit in the container behind one of the heavy trucks. In the dark environment, personal emotions were magnified, and the grief in their hearts could no longer be suppressed. Every soldier's eyes were wet, and they kept wiping away their tears.
Under such an atmosphere, even Wang Shishi, who had a bellyful of words to say, became silent.
The impact of this battle on them was obviously not as indifferent as they had appeared before.
Due to the serious damage on the road, the trucks were swaying all the way, and it took more than an hour for them to stop.
Luo Yuan got out of the container truck and was surprised to see the scene in front of him. The whole base looked like a huge construction site. More than a hundred trucks were lined up along the road, and a large number of engineering vehicles were surrounding the front row of trucks, working intensely. One by one, the containers were attracted by electromagnets and transported deep into the base.
The trucks seemed so insignificant in the long line of trucks.
No one praised them, and no one expressed their sympathy.
Commander Xia and a few other soldiers greeted Luo Yuan, jumped out of the truck, and walked towards the base.
Luo Yuan and the other two followed closely behind them.
The huge iron gate in front of the base hall was now open, and the lights inside were brightly lit. A large number of engineering vehicles were surrounding the row of huge objects, loading the containers into them in an orderly manner.
This was a huge transport aircraft. There was no paint on the surface, revealing a dark gray metal armor that reflected a faint cold light. It looked strangely sturdy, and coupled with its body that was far larger than a passenger plane, it gave people a great sense of shock, as a kind of industrial atmosphere assaulted their faces.
"What a huge plane!" Wang Shishi was dumbfounded. She unconsciously stopped in her tracks.
"This is China's latest military transport aircraft. It's 55 meters long, 15 meters tall, and 8 meters tall. It can carry 145 tons of cargo. It was originally planned to be in service in 2017, but now it's out in advance. After half a year, there are more than 150 of them, and there are 10 of them here! "Commander Xia explained proudly.
One hundred was not a small number. Before the apocalypse, even the United States, which had the most advanced industry, had a total of eight to nine hundred transport aircrafts. The latest model might only have around two hundred, and that was the result of ten years or even decades of accumulation.
However, it was not a time of peace, but a time of total war. It was a war that was crueler than World War I and World War II, because the enemy was no longer humans. There was no compromise, no mercy, and all the power of the country was for the military. Everyone was a soldier preparing for the battlefield, and all the resources would be turned into weapons or weapons production machines.
Commander Xia and a few soldiers were reprimanded by a major after standing there for a while. They were sent to other places to guard.
As Luo Yuan and the rest of them did not look like soldiers, the major hesitated for a moment. He seemed to have recognized Luo Yuan and the rest of the evolved commoners. He greeted them politely and sent a soldier to send them back to the dormitory.
Luo Yuan pushed the door open and put down the package. He had just entered the house not long ago. Huang Jiahui and the others had rushed over, and they were relieved to see that Luo Yuan and Wang Shishi were safe.
During that time, Wang Shishi had described the thrilling experience in fear, which made Huang Jiahui and the others feel scared. In fact, the mission was much more dangerous than what Wang Shishi had described, but there was no need to explain it to them, just in case they had nightmares.
Huo Dong asked about Fatty Xie when he saw that he was not around. He sighed when he got the answer. Life was cheap during the apocalypse, and it was hard to guarantee that one would be able to come back.
Luo Yuan excused himself by saying that he was tired and wanted to take a break.
Soon, everyone left. Even the few survivors who had stayed in the dormitory left cowardly when Huo Dong signaled them with his eyes.
Then, Luo Yuan closed the door and took out the active energy from the giant snake's heart from his pocket.
He hesitated. This was undoubtedly a risk.
No one knew what would happen if they ate it. Maybe they would mutate like Chen Xianfeng.
He put it near his nose and sniffed it. It had a faint fishy smell, but the more he smelled it, the more he wanted to smell it. Eventually, his body felt hungry.
His body was restless, and this phenomenon was no doubt a form of motivation for him.
However, to be cautious, he took out his Zhanmadao and cut a small piece of the active energy.
After hesitating for a while, he finally put it in his mouth.
It melted like sugar in water, leaving behind a pile of flesh-like residue. He swallowed it, but there was nothing else in his mouth besides the fishy smell. After about 20 seconds, Luo Yuan's eyes widened as if he had been electrocuted. An indescribable joy filled his body, and all his cells seemed to be moaning as they greedily absorbed the huge amount of active energy.
His skin was red as if it was cooked, and his body was exuding a high temperature of 60 to 70 degrees Celsius. However, Luo Yuan did not feel anything strange. He only felt warm and comfortable, as if he had just taken a hot bath.
This state lasted for five minutes before it stopped.
Luo Yuan came back to his senses and carefully checked his body. There was nothing unusual. He was still like a normal person. His body condition was amazing, and his energy was bursting. It was as if he had entered the Earth Pulse state.
He took a few quick steps and quickly took out his Zhanmadao from the bedside. He quickly slashed the air a few times, and the blade sliced through the air, making a sizzling sound. Then, he put it back into the scabbard.
He looked happy. His Strength had increased, but his Dexterity was almost non-existent. He could not determine his Stamina. It seemed like the amount was too little.
Next, Luo Yuan divided the remaining portion into three equal portions. He took out one portion and put it into his mouth.
The previous experience occurred again, but this time, the amount was five times more than before. The sensory stimulation was more intense, and it lasted longer. His face was red, and his nostrils seemed to be emitting smoke. His skin gradually tightened and hardened, his pores shrank, and his bones began to strengthen. All the cells in his body seemed to be undergoing a metamorphosis.
This time, before the state subsided, a system notification came. "Active energy has been consumed. Your Physique has increased by 1 point!"
