Sudeben's breathing was a little heavy, as if there was a bellows hidden in his chest.

Only he knew the main purpose of this expedition, which was for the fuel rods in the research institute.

As long as you have enough energy, you can use the drop function of the dungeon shelter.

This can be used freely on the battlefield.

It's simply ridiculously strong.

"Don't lie to me, how can there be thousands of fuel rods in a small shelter?"

"Why are you lying to me?" Braun said in confusion.

When you just paid the price of 4.4 million academic coins, you didn't see the other party as excited as he is now?

A fuel rod worth only 150 school coins. Under normal circumstances, the money just now would have been enough to buy 30,000 rods!

"If you really don't believe it, I will take you to the energy room to see it now."

Faced with Braun's proposal, Sudben only hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

A group of guards were left behind to register information for those who surrendered.

With more than a dozen personal guards, the group quickly bypassed the spiraling passage and arrived at the center.

It's not as complicated as imagined.

The center of the Great Rift Valley Research Institute looks like a large transparent bowl buckled on the ground.

Inside the large bowl is an experimental space of approximately more than 10,000 square meters.

There are houses, activity venues, green plants, and some rockery fountains.

At this time, many Earth players who had participated in the Ten Thousand Paths Conflict had withdrawn and were gathering inside to communicate.

Through the glass window, Su Deben could see clearly.

Many people's faces were filled with unwillingness and fear, and their eyes that glanced over from time to time were full of hatred.

"Is this single-sided glass? You can't see the outside from the inside?"

"Absolutely." Braun nodded honestly: "Although we use them for experiments to find factors that stimulate the growth of physical fitness, I can guarantee that we have never made any inhumane attempts on living subjects."

"Oh."

Su Deben laughed disdainfully, not bothering to expose the misunderstanding in Braun's words.

Under those strict rules, every time there was a fight between experimental subjects, there would be casualties.

It doesn’t exist for the living body, so doesn’t it exist for the dead body?

"When you go to our territory in the future, don't even think about doing any more experiments. To be honest, if you can use this simple and brainless method to obtain their abilities, I will unscrew your head and give it to you right now.

"

Simple and mindless way?

Hearing this comment, Braun's expression clearly showed something strange.

However, due to the current situation, he was very sensible and did not continue to ask any more questions.

As a "smart person".

He knows very well that when there is something that he should know, the other party will definitely let him know it.

But when you shouldn't let him know, unless you have the ability to crush the other party, otherwise you're just asking for trouble.

Continuing along the passage, the group soon came to the door to the underground part.

The energy room is located on the third underground floor.

Arriving in front of an unusually thick armored door, Braun stepped forward.

As the core of the operation of the entire base, the verification procedures are extremely cumbersome.

From the most basic digital password to iris, facial features, palm prints and genetic analysis and verification.

If Braun hadn't surrendered on his own initiative, even if he could capture the institute, he would still have to pay some price to open this door.

It's quite easy now, as each level turns green one by one.

Knock, knock.

The sound of the door lock opening began to sound, revealing the lineup inside.

hiss.

A dazzling blue light emerged from a corner, almost blinding Su Deben, who was full of expectation.

I saw only fuel rods about forty centimeters in length neatly hooped on the shelf.

Like a potion containing magic, azure light flows inside.

"There are six hundred on the middle wall."

"There are more than three hundred on each side."

The number is more than 1,200!

Sudben quickly walked closer and compared the patterns of the fuel rods he brought out from the pumpkin bunker.

Except for the company's triangle symbol printed on the logo on many outer fuel rods, there is almost no difference.

"This sign?"

"This is the fuel rod we bought from Hulai City."

Braun sighed and said: "If I had known you would come in, I wouldn't have had to spend the high price of three hundred academic coins to buy these fuel rods from them a few days ago."

"These guys are simply taking advantage of the situation!"

For Hulai City, which has a mature industrial chain, the cost of fuel rods may be less than 30 academic coins, or even lower.

Now I sell it to them at ten times the price, and I can make a lot of money.

But looking at his heartbroken expression, Su Deben's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"You can still buy fuel rods from Hu Lai City. How many have you bought?"

"A few days ago, the company's large-scale expedition team found us, and we bought 500 fuel rods from them."

expedition team.

"Have you established an online connection with Hu Lai City?" Su Deben asked tentatively.

From various aspects of understanding.

As Blue Star is a more paranoid force than the Foundation, companies will never fight wars without interests.

He was not worried at all that the company would send troops to take revenge after discovering that Tianyuan territory was attacking the research institute.

On the contrary, if you can take the road of enterprise.

This is an opportunity.

"Even though I have been in contact with them, I really don't know much about them."

"But after they learned about the project we were studying, they were willing to fund a large amount of materials."

Braun is obviously aware of the corporate nature and has no intention of hiding it.

Hulai City was built in the rear area of ​​​​the enterprise and is located in the relatively affluent Tongzhou. It is an out-and-out heavy industry city.

Around the time when the Metal Sigh disaster had not fully erupted, the people in power in Hu Lai City had already noticed something was wrong and established an expedition team to go out and find the cause of the problem.

It's a pity that not long after the expedition team set off, Metal Sigh broke out.

For a heavy industrial city, it is undoubtedly a nightmare for all construction machinery to be paralyzed.

"I don't know how much they have recovered now, but it is definitely not as optimistic as imagined."

"If you are willing to support our research, I am afraid that you have discovered something strange about the indigenous people."

Hu Lai City is closer to the coastline, so it is not unexpected for Earth survivors to go there.

It's just that because the disaster caused too much damage to the city, they didn't have the energy to focus on the players at all.

Su Deben thought for a moment and gestured with his eyes to continue.

"You want to know the situation in Hulai City, right?"

Braun shook his head: "I actually don't know too much, but they left us a map to Hu Lai City before they left. If the institute wants to get that batch of funding materials, it must either send people to Hu Lai itself."

city, or we have to wait until they resume air transportation."

Waiting for companies to resume air transportation?

Essentially, Sudben does not think this is a difficult task. After all, there are no technical problems.

But when he thought about disasters and games, he didn't dare to be blindly optimistic.

"Where's the map? Show it to me."

"It's up there, in the professor's room. I'll get it for you right now."
