Chapter 206 Source Device

"Bang bang bang!"

Liao Peng patted the door.

There was still no response from the door.

As the biting cold wind howled, Liao Peng was so cold that he shook unconsciously. He tightened the collar of his military coat and put his hands back into his pockets.

Shortly after the first New Year's Day in the last days, winter began.

In just over a month, the first Spring Festival after the extreme cold will come.

The current average temperature in Shashi has dropped to about minus 60 degrees during the day and can reach minus 80 degrees at night.

And the length of the day has become shorter. It’s dark when I go out at 10 a.m., and it’s dark again before 3 p.m.

It was 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Liao Peng set out from the shelter at dawn and rushed all the way to the safe house.

At this temperature, a normal person may freeze to death if left outside for less than an hour.

Fortunately, Liao Peng now has the physique of an evolved person, so he can still bear it.

However, Liao Peng had been waiting at the door for more than twenty minutes. If he couldn't wait for Lin Shi, he would have to go back.

Otherwise, even he wouldn't be able to withstand the temperature at night if he stays outdoors for a long time.

"Liao Peng?"

Just when Liao Peng was getting a little anxious from waiting, Lin Shi's voice came from behind him.

"Boss, oh, I've waited for you. I just asked you why you didn't respond to me after I've been banging on the door for so long. I thought you were asleep. My hands are red."

Liao Peng turned to look at Lin Shi with joy, half-joking.

He didn't even notice that on the hilltop in the distance, there was the Demon King, a large group of wolves, and the tyrant's huge figure that was as big as a house.

Otherwise, you have to be scared.

Lin Shi wanted to go out and stretch his muscles today, so he took all the source beasts into the mountain.

Lin Shi walked quickly to Liao Peng, reached out and patted the snowflakes on his shoulders, and said:

"Have you been waiting for a long time? What happened today? Is there any result from last time?"

"Yes."

Liao Peng looked a little excited when he saw Lin.

Liao Peng shakily took out a piece of paper from inside his coat and handed it to Lin Shi.

It wasn't that he wanted to shake, his hands were too cold.

"Boss, this is the composition of the metal piece you gave me last time, as well as the casting process."

Liao Peng seemed to have something to say, but when he saw that Lin Shi was looking seriously, he swallowed his words first.

Lin Shi carefully scanned the contents on the list.

He knew all the metals written on it, and most of them were the same as the materials he used to forge wheels and axes.

But he couldn't understand the last thing.

"Source material? What is this?"

Liao Peng had clearly done his homework and explained:

“It is said to be an extremely rare material and must be the hard part of some strange and exotic beast.

The kind of material that is stripped from alien beasts and can be integrated into the forging of weapons is called source material.

I heard that this material is added only when the weapon is forged. After it is formed, the source power can be transferred in and turned into an indestructible weapon.

The official name has been given to this weapon. "

Speaking of which, Liao Peng lowered his head in shame:

"I'm sorry, boss, you asked me to find someone to study the piece of metal, but someone still discovered it.

The metal pieces were also taken away. "

Lin Shi raised his eyebrows, not surprised by this result.

For a metal like this that can conduct source power, even if Liao Peng saved the life of another child, the researchers would still report it for the sake of humanity and the shelter.

Two of Qi Yun's weapons were in his space. If the fragments were lost, they would be lost. He had long been prepared that the fragments would not come back.

Lin Shi looked as usual and asked:

"Who questioned you? Lin Tianrui?"

"Yes, it's Leader Lin. He didn't make it difficult for me. He asked me where the fragments came from and asked me some personal questions before letting me go. He also gave me a lot of things as rewards."

Liao Peng reached into his clothes again, and this time he took out a large package of genetic pills.

Because the box was difficult to carry and unsafe to bring out, Liao Peng packed it in several bags and brought it over.

As Liao Peng kept digging, Lin Shi soon had five more plastic bags in his hand.

Lin Shi used his mental power to scan and found that there were almost 200 tablets in each bag.

One thousand pieces in total.

"These are the gene pills that Leader Lin rewarded, as well as some food. Because they were very heavy, I didn't bring them over this time. We'll bring them together another day," Liao Peng said.

"Lin Tianrui gave you so many genetic pills?"

Lin Shi's focus was not on the food, but on the gene pill in his hand.

Ordinary people cannot use so many gene pills. As long as the upper limit of mental power is not increased, it will be difficult for ordinary people to increase the level after taking a few pills to unlock the first-level gene lock.

The excess can only be used for healing at best. But it doesn’t take that much.

If Liao Peng was just an ordinary first-order evolver, Lin Tianrui could use other things as rewards.

Liao Peng nodded:

"Chief Lin is very easy to talk to. I said at first that I couldn't ask for that much, but he insisted on giving it to me. He also said that I could just bring it to the person behind me..."

Speaking of this, Liao Peng looked at Lin Shi guiltily:

"Boss, I don't know when I was exposed. I never mentioned you in the shelter."

Lin Shi smiled bitterly, as expected.

Lin Tianrui discovered that Liao Peng was his own.

These genetic pills were Lin Tianrui's show of kindness to him.

Last time, the saber-toothed tiger disappeared with him, and Qi Yun's sword disappeared with the saber-toothed tiger.

It's not surprising that Lin Tianrui guessed nothing.

"I don't blame you this time. You did a good job on this matter. You don't have to bring those foods to me. Just treat them as your reward."

"Thank you, boss!"

Lin Shi repeated his alias Li No. 2.

"It turns out that the Li Yingxiong that has been circulating in the shelter is you, boss!"

Liao Peng was shocked.

Lin Shi touched his nose awkwardly and said:

"If someone forces you to ask about my location in the future..."

"I will never tell you even if I die!" Liao Peng said firmly.

Lin Shi nodded.

"By the way, boss, have you been to Dongjiao these days? Have you heard any news?"

"What happened?"

Since the end of the beast tide, the city is now called a wild area except Dongjiao.

The beast tide that may appear at any time, or the sporadic source beasts foraging, make it almost impossible to see people on the road in Shashi.

Even for evolvers, it is very dangerous to travel alone.

Liao Peng came to Lin Shi's place at the risk of his life.

Lin Shi passed by Dongjiao several times when he was hunting source beasts.

I heard that the officials have reinforced the Xinghai Apartment that was breached in the last beast tide and reclaimed it to collect more and more survivors who migrated here.

And they have expanded the current shelter.

Lin Shi knew all this, but he didn't ask for more details.

Liao Peng said with a serious expression:

"I heard that during this period, many people who rushed to Shashi encountered foreigners around Shashi. It is said that some people were caught and eaten by those foreigners.

Recently, I have heard such news more and more frequently. Now people in the shelter are saying that foreigners may go to war with our shelter."
