"How did it go? Did you find it?"
Viteo asked as soon as they arrived at the lake.
"Yes!"
One of the officers said, but when he spoke, there was a trace of hesitation in his tone, which Viteo noticed.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem? "Viteo asked.
"Yes!" The officer nodded. "General, according to the results, it seems that the probability of an energy stone mine is low, but we did find a lot of energy stones in the underground river."
'No energy stone mine?'
Viteo frowned slightly, a look of disappointment on his face. At this moment, an old man dressed like a researcher said, "General, I'll tell you the truth. This kind of energy stone needs to be deposited for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years before it can appear. Moreover, because it requires special energy, it's not very realistic to expect a mineral vein to appear.
”
Viteo's face turned ugly when he heard this. Seeing this, the old man spoke again, "However, general, you don't have to worry about anything. According to the results of the current exploration, the energy stones detected in the underground river have already exceeded 1,500 pieces. Moreover, this is only a distance of less than 30 kilometers from the underground river. According to our geological structure, there are already more than 1,500 energy stones.
According to geologists' estimates, the length of the underground river is at least 200 miles. "
That was the end of the old man's words, but Vitteo's face looked better.
"Does this mean that there are similar energy stones in other parts of this underground river?" Viteo's heart skipped a beat, and he became excited.
"Although we're not completely sure, according to the current data, the probability is more than 87.5%!" The old man said.
"How many energy stones do you think there are in the underground river?" Viteo asked.
"This …" The old man hesitated for a moment before replying with certainty, "Although I'm not completely sure, according to the current data, a conservative estimate of the number of energy stones is at least five thousand or even more than ten thousand!"
'What?
More than 10,000? '
Viteo couldn't sit still anymore.
Not to mention 10,000, even if it was only 5,000, it was still a terrifying number.
Based on the current research on energy stones, if the energy stones were used together on an ability user, a single energy stone could directly upgrade a third-order ability user to fourth-order ability user.
Ten of such energy stones were enough to upgrade a fifth-order ability user to sixth-order ability user.
Moreover, he was not like Jeeps, who was a peak Tier 7 Arcanist, who could also become a Tier 8 Arcanist Monarch with just a hundred energy stones.
As for an eighth-order ability user to become a ninth-order ability user, he would need more energy stones, at least 1,000 of them!
Of course, this was only theoretical data, and there were no tests.
This was because it was impossible to have so many energy stones in the entire United States. If that wasn't the case, Vitteo wouldn't have made such a big move for a mere hundred energy stones.
But now, there was a place with at least 5,000, or at most 10,000 energy stones in front of him.
How could he not be excited?
If he could get those energy stones, he could cultivate at least five ability users.
A ninth-order ability user!
Just one of them was already very powerful.
Even with Viteo's status, he only knew that the military only had seven to eight rank-9 Rulers at the moment.
Perhaps this number could be even higher.
But no matter how many ninth-order ability users there were, their identities were very special.
A ninth-order ability user's status in the United States military was even higher than that of a general.
Viteo might be able to command some eighth-order ability users, but he couldn't command ninth-order ability users at all.
It should be noted that one of his old rivals had helped one of his subordinates become a ninth-order ability user by chance.
And now, that old rival of his was on top of his head.
In fact, he wouldn't have been in such an awkward situation this time.
Even if he lost more than a hundred energy stones and lost some of his power, he wouldn't be affected by anything with his status.
At most, he would be criticized verbally.
But in the end, because of his old rival's interference, he was suppressed. It wasn't a serious injury, but at most, it made him feel disgusted.
But for Viteo, it was a stain in his life!
However, there was nothing he could do. At the end of the day, it was because his old opponent had a Rank 9 Emperor under his command.
He was unwilling to accept this, so he kept stalling, trying to find some energy stones to push back his old rival's disgusting suppression.
But now …
Now, Viteo had other ideas.
Suppression?
Disgust him?
It didn't matter!
Viteo had made up his mind. He didn't plan to report the situation in the underground river. He would hide it.
This was because if he were to hide it, the energy stones in the underground river would belong to him.
As for being suppressed by his old rival, or being ridiculed by others, he didn't care.
As long as he took out all the energy stones in the underground river, he would be able to cultivate several ninth-order ability users.
As long as he had a few ability users, his old rival wouldn't be a threat at all.
Thinking of this, Vitteo felt excited.
Soon, Viteo began to make arrangements.
Moreover, the good thing was that all the people present were his subordinates. As for the military, they had already evacuated three days ago. He didn't want to give up, so he sent out his personal force and held on for another two or three days.
Now, Viteo was very glad that he had held on until now. Only his subordinates were left, which allowed him to hide this matter.
Soon, the last army in the lake also evacuated.
But at night, a team quietly came here.
This team was made up of ability users. According to Viteo's order, they set out in secret and directly entered the lake after reaching this place.
Then, this team dug out a space at the bottom of the lake.
Because it was a paranormal, the excavated space was completely devoid of water. Soon, it was transformed into a small secret base.
The underground river was very long and very big. It would take a long time to find the energy stones. Viteo was ready to fight a long battle.
…
At the same time, in San Francisco, the headquarters of the Breg family finally returned to the surface.
Because of Qin Shaofeng's destruction, the headquarters of the Breg family had completely lost contact with the surface.
It took the Brague Family's headquarters two to three days to contact the surface.
However, because of the special negative 99th floor, it was thrown out, which caused a lot of trouble for the Breg family's underground headquarters.
Because this special floor was a direct connection to the underground space, although there were a hundred tightly sealed special steel doors.
But because of the special nature of this floor, after the entire negative 99th floor was thrown out, the remaining few floors were completely disconnected from the outside world.
Even if they could establish contact, it would be very difficult for them to return to the surface.
Fortunately, there were two biosphere floors in the Breg family's underground headquarters, which were suitable for human survival.
With the resources in these two biosphere floors, even if they lost contact with the outside world, they could still provide living conditions for tens of thousands of people for hundreds of years.
The Breg family had put in a lot of effort to establish this underground headquarters.
Of course, it wasn't as if the Breg family didn't take precautions against such situations. Therefore, when they established contact, the Breg family started rebuilding the special negative 99th floor.
The reason the underground headquarters was delayed until now was completely connected to the surface was because of the two Berserk Gene Black Bears that Qin Shaofeng had the opportunity to control the A.I. Chip.
Although the two Berserk Gene Black Bears were only at rank 8, due to the loss of control, they went berserk, causing their strength to be comparable to a rank 9 genetic warrior.
In the end, the Breg family spent a lot of effort to get rid of the two Berserk Gene Black Bears.
Only then did they start building the negative 99th floor.
But in general, the Breg family had finally recovered.
After the recovery, the Breg family suffered a huge loss, and they hated Qin Shaofeng to the core.
But when they considered that Qin Shaofeng was already dead, they let it go.
Therefore, the Breg Family wholeheartedly began to invest in the reconstruction of the underground headquarters.
But because of this, the Breg family's underground headquarters stopped some unimportant experiments.
Even if it was an important experiment, after it ended and failed, it was temporarily stopped.
This was not a big deal for the Breg family. It was not like they stopped everything completely, only for a short period of time. There would not be much loss.
But for the Breg family's underground headquarters, which was located 4,000 meters underground, the situation was different.
Because after the Breg family stopped their experiments, there were no more failed experiments thrown into the underground space.
And those genetically modified creatures in the underground space had been relying on failed experiments to satisfy their hunger.
Now, there were no more experiments.
It was not a big deal for a day or two, but after a long time, the situation would be different.
Without food to satisfy their hunger, the genetically modified creatures in the underground space became more and more irritable.
Some of the genetically modified creatures even started rubbing against each other.
Just as the slaughter was about to start, a low roar came from a deeper level in the underground space.
As soon as this roar appeared, all the genetically modified creatures in the underground space, including the seven rank 10 genetically modified creatures, trembled slightly, appearing to be very afraid.
Obviously, these genetically modified creatures were very afraid of the owner of the roar.
However, after the first roar, another low cry was heard.
After this low roar, the genetically modified creatures in this underground space suddenly attacked together in one direction.
Bang!
Finally, with a loud explosion, a rock wall was smashed open, and the Elimination River gushed in.
