After a round of inspection, Luo Yuan returned to Block A, which was his residence on the top floor of the central building.
Of course, his residence was not a standard room, nor was it a suite of nine square meters per person. The entire floor was more than 10,000 square meters and it was considered his private territory. The height was more than 10 meters higher than the norm. Compared to the other standard floors, there were many metal pillars added here, which did not affect the structural stability of the building.
He had also spent a lot of effort on these pillars. Each pillar was engraved with exquisite carvings. The carvings were exquisite and beautiful.
In order to not look too empty, there was a small botanical garden, a training ground, a man-made lake, a library and even a cinema. His real residence was a three-story villa that was specially built next to the lake.
Before the apocalypse, this was not considered much. However, now that most people could only live in such a cramped and depressing place, it was undoubtedly luxurious.
In fact, this was not what Luo Yuan wanted. Based on his personality, he would never give such an order. It was the decision of his subordinates. Even when Luo Yuan officially moved in yesterday, he was surprised.
Under such a highly centralized social structure, Luo Yuan was like an emperor who could take whatever he wanted. Even if it was not his will, there were still countless people who would try to please him just to not leave a bad impression on him.
Luo Yuan did not comment on it. He did not praise or encourage them nor did he criticize them in public. He was not a saint and he did not feel uneasy about it. Moreover, in a sense, the entire spaceship belonged to him. It was only right for him to occupy such a 'small' territory.
Considering that there were many women in his house, it was not suitable for him to enter. Luo Yuan asked his secretary, Cheng Guanghui, to wait on the bench next to the lake and walked quickly into the villa.
"Brother Luo, you're back!" Chen Jiayi, who was wiping the floor, stood up and greeted Luo Yuan shyly when she saw him.
"Are you the only one busy? Where are the others?" Luo Yuan stopped and asked.
"They're walking around." Chen Jiayi said shyly while holding the rag tightly.
Although Luo Yuan had arrived with the last batch of people, he had moved here with them a day earlier. Therefore, they were still quite curious about this place. However, Chen Jiayi was not interested in it. Her body had recovered, but she was still affected by the parasitic moss for a long period of time. She had become quite introverted. She did not speak much and rarely went out.
"Did the mutated human follow them?" Luo Yuan asked.
"Yeah, I wore a mask, but she insisted on following us," Chen Jiayi replied.
Luo Yuan frowned but soon relaxed. The mutated human's form had become more human-like. If one did not look closely, it would be hard to tell the difference between them and a human. If they were careful, they would not cause a commotion.
Luo Yuan did not say anything more. He quickly walked into the bedroom and found the iron ball that stored the energy crystals.
Then, unscrew it with your hand.
After a period of time, the women had consumed the level eight energy crystals, and there were only one and a half left.
He pinched one half of the iron lid into a small bottle, and then carefully used his fingernail to carve a thread on it. Now that his control over his strength had reached a precise level, such a simple manual operation was not difficult for him at all. Soon, a relatively rough metal bottle was made.
Luo Yuan hesitated for a moment before he took out a whole pill and put it into the bottle.
As for the remaining half, it was sealed with the remaining half of the metal lid.
After a while, Luo Yuan walked out of the villa.
He explained to Cheng Guanghui how to use the energy crystal, and then passed the bottle to him. "Pass this to Director Zhao for me."
"Yes, Mayor!" Cheng Guanghui did not dare to delay and quickly replied.
Just when he was about to leave, Luo Yuan stopped him.
"Pass a message to him for me. There is only one of this. Tell him not to be careless when he experiments, and to record every experiment and the amount used." Curiosity was a common problem for researchers. Although he still had half of the energy crystal, if he did not warn him, it would be a waste if he did not have ten of them.
"Yes, Mayor. I will definitely pass on this message."
Cheng Guanghui quickly left the top floor of the central building and purposely went to the lower floor to take the elevator. Although there was an elevator on the top floor, it was for the Mayor's use. He was meticulous and cautious, so naturally, he would not make such a small mistake.
As he walked into the elevator, Cheng Guanghui looked at the metal bottle, and his heart could not help but beat faster.
If the mayor had not asked him to pass on the message, who would have thought that there was an energy crystal core of a level eight creature in this inconspicuous metal bottle? He could not help but think of the two gigantic beasts that had wreaked havoc in Hope City. It was a power that was beyond human imagination. Human weapons seemed to be useless in the face of these gigantic beasts.
What was more magical was the energy crystal in its body.
It could improve all aspects of a human's physical qualities, and it could turn an ordinary person into a superhuman. At the same time, it might even extend one's lifespan. Compared to the former, he undoubtedly valued the latter more. Now, the key to longevity was in his hands.
He could not help but feel a little emotional.
He did not want too much, as it would be easy to expose himself. He only wanted half, no, one-third … His breathing gradually became rapid, and his facial expression changed drastically.
He was struggling in his heart, and subconsciously held the metal bottle tightly. Suddenly, he felt a faint heat coming from the bottle.
He was curious, and picked up the bottle to take a closer look. Suddenly, he realized that there were clear fingerprints all over the surface of the bottle. They were so densely packed that it looked like it was covered with seals. He suddenly remembered that the bottle was still warm.
His heart skipped a beat, and his hand that was holding the bottle could not help but tremble.
As someone close to the Mayor, he had gradually forgotten how terrifying the Mayor was after spending so much time with him. If he really hid a part of it, would he be able to hide it from the Mayor?
After all, the Mayor had destroyed the aliens and captured the spaceship. He was like a God!
He shuddered and struggled out of his desire. When he came back to his senses, he realized that his underwear was drenched in sweat.
"Even I almost couldn't resist the temptation!" Cheng Guanghui smiled bitterly. He had completely sobered up, "It seems like the Mayor has been careless. That's right, with his powerful strength, this thing is probably worthless to him. However, to ordinary people, the temptation is too great. It's hard to guarantee that the researchers would not take it for themselves. We must arrange for a group of guards to take care of it."
…
The next morning, Luo Yuan returned to Earth from the spaceship. He was ready to 'visit' the interstellar beast that could not die no matter what.
It had been two months since he last checked on the interstellar beast. Now that such a long time had passed, no matter how strong its life force was, it should be dead by now.
However, when he returned to the original location of the interstellar beast's carcass, the scene in front of him stunned him and he was lost in thought.
The place had completely turned into an oasis. Countless plants grew densely, and the leaves were luxuriant. It was full of vitality. At the same time, the lake in the center had expanded a few times, forming a vast ocean. The entire lake was shrouded in mist, making it look like a fairyland.
As for the island-like giant beast in the center of the lake, it was still tossing and turning.
After such a long time, its movements had become much quieter and its struggles were sporadic. Most of the time, it only moved a little. However, Luo Yuan could tell that its life force had not weakened at all. The reason why it had become weaker was that after its brain was destroyed, the reflex of its spinal nerves was not as intense as it was before.
In other words, its spine had adapted to this brainless state. However, once its body was attacked or it felt pain, it would probably "wake up" and struggle intensely again.
It could be said that it was dead, but it could also be said that it was reborn. In a sense, it had degenerated from a high-level life form with a brain to a low-level life form that only had the instinct to avoid harm.
It would take a very long time for it to die completely.
Perhaps when humans were about to leave the galaxy, the interstellar beast would still be "alive"!
Obviously, Luo Yuan could not wait any longer.
Ever since he found out that the energy crystal was useful in synthesizing the wisdom elixir, he was even more interested in the energy crystal of the interstellar beast. Compared to a level eight energy crystal, the energy crystal of the interstellar beast would give him a huge surprise.
He flew into the air and quickly flew towards the "island". The energy waves on the interstellar beast's body had dimmed, leaving only a thin layer of light. However, Luo Yuan still did not dare to step on its body recklessly.
He knew that the energy of the interstellar beast was not only emitting high temperatures, it also had strong radiation. Even with his defense, he was not immune to it. Indeed, after staying beside it for a few seconds, Luo Yuan's skin started to itch.
Although the itch did not cause much harm to him, Luo Yuan released a layer of Will to cover his body just in case.
Then, with a leap, he jumped into the boiling hot lake.
The interstellar beast's slender neck was buried under the lake. The easiest way to enter its body and obtain the energy crystal was undoubtedly the old way, which was to enter through its nostrils.
Otherwise, if he were to enter from the outside and cut up the body of the interstellar beast that was as big as the island, even if he was twice as strong, he did not know how long it would take.
Not long after, Luo Yuan found its head by following the slender neck.
Half of its head was stuck in a giant rock. Fortunately, its nostrils were still exposed, so Luo Yuan did not have to put in much effort. Then, he entered its nostrils easily.
After passing through its nostrils, Luo Yuan arrived at the place where he destroyed it previously.
However, at this time, the wound had completely healed, and there were no signs of injury. Even the triangular, brittle bone had regrown. This giant beast obviously had a terrifying self-healing ability. If he had not stirred up the giant beast's entire brain into a paste, no matter how strong its self-healing ability was, even if half of its brain was cut off, it would probably be able to recover to its original state.
He passed through its nostrils and entered its esophagus.
Its neck was relatively slender, causing its trachea to be shockingly long. Luo Yuan had to walk for more than 100 meters before he entered its lungs.
Luo Yuan noticed that its lungs had deteriorated and its airway was too narrow compared to its huge body. He had to crouch down to enter its lungs. Besides that, most of its alveoli were closed and had lost their function. It could be said that it was about to lose its ability to breathe.
Just when Luo Yuan was about to continue walking, he suddenly heard a slight movement. It seemed like there were quite a number of people approaching him.
