Chapter 272 The Only Turning Point

The method of entering the private plane is very simple, even easier than space teleportation. Wu Chang just had the corresponding thought in his mind, and the next moment, he had entered underground shelter No. 88.

The place where he entered the underground shelter was the same as the place where he first entered, at the edge of the city. As soon as he opened his eyes, he could see a street lamp.

But this time, Xiao Liang didn't give him the whole job.

The street lamp in front of him had been updated to a new model. There was no scattered garbage or vomit under the lamp, and the messy graffiti on the wall had been covered up.

He sniffed and found the air very fresh. He could sense air movement in the underground shelter if he smelled it carefully.

If he had not been here once, he would not even have felt that this was a city built underground.

As he walked along the road, he saw vehicles driving in an orderly manner. At an intersection, a driver slightly scratched the car in front of him. The driver of the car behind him hurriedly got out to apologize. The driver of the car in front took a glance and saw no obvious scratches, so he immediately waved his hand and said not to worry.

Wu Chang sighed, sweeping away the decadence. The thriving underground shelter made him feel unfamiliar.

He Yun tears up the contract signed with Mercury, causing the underground shelter to return to the day of the crisis. As everything starts over, the residents of the underground shelter forget what happened to them during the time loop.

The residents felt as if they had had a long dream. They only had a vague impression of the past and their memories were not clear.

Fortunately, during the time loop, people can only feel alive by constantly seeking excitement. In order to find excitement, people will do anything.

If they remembered all these memories, more than 90% of them would probably be so ashamed that they would commit suicide when they woke up in the middle of the night.

Walking along the road, he saw the familiar Broken Bottle Bar. The Broken Bottle Bar had not changed much. Although it had been repainted, it still maintained its wild style.

Sitting at the bar, he waved to the bartender and said, "Give me a latte."

As soon as these words came out, the whole bar fell silent, and everyone looked at him with an expression that said "you're in trouble" in their eyes.

No matter how much the city changes, some things are deeply rooted and cannot be changed.

For example, ordering a non-alcoholic drink at the Broken Bottle Bar would offend the owner.

boom.

The bartender smashed the mechanical prosthetic arm holding the wine glass against the bar, making a deep hole in the all-metal bar and causing the glass wine glass to explode on the spot.

"What the hell..."

The bartender hadn't finished his cordial greetings yet. The moment he saw Wu Chang's face, he seemed to remember something, his expression changed, and he said:

"Please wait a moment. I'll have someone buy it."

Wu Chang was a little surprised. He was ready to beat Viper again, but he didn't expect the bartender to be so easy to talk to this time.

Even more surprised than Wu Chang were the regular customers sitting around the bar. One of them opened his mouth exaggeratedly and shouted, "Paul, you..."

Before the man could finish his sentence, the bartender interrupted and said, "The broken glass will be charged to your account."

"why?"

"Because you disturbed me."

The regular customers around were very observant and did not try to tease the bartender, but turned their eyes to Wu Chang.

Judging from his clothes, he is an outsider. It is rare to see outsiders entering here. Who is he that can make the bar owner Paul give in?
A brave man was about to step forward and start a conversation, but before he could open his mouth, the distinctive sound of an empty car engine was heard outside the bar.

In the limited space underground, there are not many application scenarios for empty cars and there are very few owners. The engine sound of an empty car can already be used as a specific BGM for some people.

The customers in the bar looked outside and saw a pure black empty car parked outside. The black empty car was the car of He Yun, the leader of the shelter.

Everyone looked outside curiously, wondering why the leader came tonight. Maybe he was itching to beat up some unlucky guy at random.

The leader's mood has been very unstable recently, as if his aunt who came to visit has stayed here and won't leave. He comes to participate in a boxing match every now and then, and he deliberately holds back every time he participates, just to hit the sandbag for a while longer.

Viper, who had just come out of the toilet, saw He Yun coming in, and immediately turned back to the cubicle and locked the door with his backhand.

As a frequent visitor to the boxing ring, he was beaten the most times.

He Yun, wearing a white coat, jogged down from the car. She changed from running to walking after entering the bar. She walked all the way to Wu Chang. The two regular customers who were originally sitting next to Wu Chang immediately stood up and gave them their seats.

He Yun sat down next to Wu Chang and asked, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

Wu Chang blinked and said, "I want to give you a surprise."

He Yun asked, "Would you like to play here for a while, or just come with me?"

Wu Chang said without hesitation: "I came here just for you, what do you think?"

He Yun didn't hesitate and pulled Wu Chang out on the spot.

Seeing the two people leaving, everyone in the bar immediately surrounded the bartender and asked, "Paul, who was that guy just now?"

Paul curled his lips, continued to wipe the glass, and said, "I don't know. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

He looked at the special button under the bar. He really didn't know who Wu Chang was. He only knew that He Yun told him that if he saw a outsider entering the bar and opening his mouth to ask for milk, he should keep the person and press the button immediately.

In the empty car, Wu Chang and He Yun both sat in the back seat, and the empty car was driven by artificial intelligence 88.

He Yun asked: "How long do you plan to stay this time?"

Wu Chang said with difficulty: "Two or three days, the world over there is not stable either, so I can't spare much time."

He Yun nodded without any dissatisfaction. She controlled the empty car to cruise over the city and explained the changes in the underground shelter to Wu Chang.

She chose to keep the underground shelter in its pillar status and did not upgrade it to the second level of the abyss. She did not completely transform it, so that the underground shelter was not as she had imagined, where everyone could control energy with their minds and technology could be magical.

But even so, the integration of the Desire Tablet with the underground shelter's energy supply network has made the energy and resources in the underground shelter almost infinite.

All people need to think about is how to expand deeper underground and how to obtain a larger living environment.

The empty car descended to a deeper level. By directly absorbing energy from the Desire Stele, the original energy mine has been transformed into a manufacturing base integrating R&D and production.

The manufacturing base is under construction and one-third of the progress has been completed. It will be put into use when it is half completed.

The top priority at the moment is to build the production line for the new mecha.

Wu Chang asked curiously, "The Stone Temple is no longer a threat, why are you still mass-producing mechas?"

A hint of worry appeared on He Yun's face, and he said:
"As time in the underground shelter resumes, signs of human activity have begun to appear outside the shelter recently."

"They are sneaky and well-trained. They are deliberately collecting our intelligence. It is obvious that they have bad intentions. They should be the group that attacked the underground shelter No. 87."

"We are always being targeted by them. There is always a risk of them attacking us. My brother is going to assemble a new type of armored team and take the initiative to attack and kill them all."

Wu Chang frowned slightly. He remembered that He Yun said that among those who attacked and massacred Shelter No. 87, there were many members of the Paradise Cult and evil gods involved. There was a high possibility that there were extraordinary people in the enemy camp. He said, "You must be careful when you act. It's best to notify me before you act. I will go with you."

He Yun smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite."

The empty car stopped in front of the central laboratory. Seeing He Yun dragging him to the bedroom, Wu Chang hurriedly said:

"Wait a minute, actually, this time, besides coming to see you, I have two other things to do."

He Yun turned to look at him, and said with an expression that said, "I knew it," "I thought you would keep it to yourself."

Looking at Wu Chang's slightly embarrassed expression, He Yun changed direction and took Wu Chang to the laboratory.

"Tell me, what are you going to do with the shelter's energy network?"

Wu Chang asked in confusion: "How do you know I want to borrow the energy network?"

He Yun said with a resentful expression: "Who made me compare with that little girl outside who was born to be a god? This is the only advantage I have."

Wu Chang's expression froze, his eyes revealed a guilty look, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

He Yun suddenly laughed, "I was kidding. I'm already very happy that you can come to see me."

Wu Chang's expression became even more embarrassed.

Oh no, I’m going to be teased like Tom.

Wu Chang patted his face, ready to let He Yun be proud for a while, and then he would let her know who is the king and who is the big king.

He took out the omniscient crystal and told He Yun roughly the information about it.

The omniscient crystal needed enough extraordinary energy to answer his questions. Wu Chang once tried to inject energy into the extraordinary crystal. With his energy attribute of 146, he injected all of it into it, but the energy slot only advanced a little.

It can be seen that the energy required by the Omniscient Crystal is enormous. Irene may be able to fully charge it by using the true body of the god, but without enough believers, Irene's divine power will recover very slowly.

After much thought, there is no place more suitable to provide a large amount of extraordinary energy than an underground shelter.

So when He Yun said that, compared to Irene, he would only think of her when he needed energy, Wu Chang would feel guilty.

However, He Yun did not care, because after hearing the information related to the Omniscient Crystal, her attention had shifted from Wu Chang to the Omniscient Crystal.

Without Wu Chang saying anything, she immediately began to build the energy supply equipment based on the omniscient crystal.

Energy is He Yun's domain. In less than an hour, she built a channel on the central operating console and injected a steady stream of energy into the omniscient crystal.

The injection lasted for five minutes, and the All-Knowing Crystal lit up again. It floated in the air and rotated slightly, asking Wu Chang:
"The required energy is now fully charged. Do you want to ask the previous question?"

Wu Chang nodded and repeated, "What can I do to prevent or mitigate the erosion of the abyss on the real world?"

"Obtaining the three pillars of the present world and the temporary management rights of the wasteland within them, obtaining the power of faith from no less than three planes, and uniting with the existing kingdoms of God on earth in reality to build a large secret kingdom of God, can create a glimmer of hope for everything."

Wu Chang frowned. What he wanted was to stop the erosion of the real world. How come after the Omniscient Crystal gave a lot of conditions, there was only one chance for a turnaround?
"Can't it be stopped completely?"

The Omniscient Crystal did not answer. Its surface dimmed again and fell back onto the operating table.

Wu Chang was a little anxious. You consumed so much energy, but you only answered one question.

He looked at He Yun, wanting to ask him to try again, but He Yun showed a helpless expression and said, "It seems that the energy it absorbs has reached its limit. I can't inject any more energy into it."

Wu Chang sighed. The Omniscient Crystal was very powerful, but as long as you didn't sign a soul contract with it, its use was subject to many restrictions. Even Irene couldn't forcibly activate it, so He Yun certainly had no way.

He Yun returned the All-Knowing Crystal to Wu Chang and asked, "You said before that you wanted to see me for two things. What's the second thing?"

Wu Chang took out a mobile hard drive from his personal space, knelt on one knee, and handed it to He Yun as if he were giving a diamond ring.

He Yun picked up the mobile hard drive, inserted it into the console, and asked, "What is this?"

Wu Chang said: "I have a cousin who has made great achievements in the field of biology and founded a world-class unicorn company. Unfortunately, he was assassinated some time ago. Before he died, he entrusted his company and his life's research results to me."

"I thought I couldn't come to see you empty-handed this time, so I brought you all his research results. Although you two are studying different fields, if you can draw inferences from one another, you might be able to gain some inspiration."

The mobile hard drive he gave to He Yun contained Schultz's life's work.

During the three days of helping Irene to consolidate her place in the Kingdom of God on Earth, he had tried to study, but after only five minutes each time, he would feel dizzy and sleepy.

This feeling was very similar to when he had insomnia in college. He would take out his vocabulary notebook, read the word "abandon" three times, and then read the relevant word explanations. He would then fall asleep immediately. It was better than sleeping pills.

What Schultz left for him was too beyond his scope. Perhaps one day he would be able to fully unlock the omniscient crystal and gain some understanding from this knowledge.

But he knew his own limitations. With the omniscient crystal he might be able to learn this knowledge, but it was unlikely that he would be able to learn this knowledge.

Moreover, Mr. Wu relied on a pair of iron elbows to venture into the Abyss Game, and spending time learning those things was like wasting good steel on a sword.

But Schultz's knowledge is a treasure for the entire technological world. It would be a waste to throw it into a corner. It would be better to give it to He Yun, who is also a science genius. Maybe He Yun can learn something from it.

Just as Wu Chang guessed, He Yun, who was able to mix mysticism and science, was also a superb student who could understand what Schultz wrote.

He Yun opened one of the files at random and read a few lines. His eyes were attracted by the content and he read it greedily.

Wu Chang saw this and said proudly, "How about it? Are you shocked? My cousin..."

He was just about to praise Schultz, but he found that He Yun put his index finger on his lips and made a hushing gesture to him.

This made Wu Chang feel a little hurt. No, before, he used to call her Little Sweetie and drag her to the bedroom, but now that he has a new lover, he calls her Mrs. Niu and is shushed whenever he speaks, right?

Wu Chang sighed, found a chair in the laboratory, and waited for He Yun to get tired of watching him.

This wait lasted three hours.

He Yun watched everything intently, writing and drawing non-stop, with a morbid smile on her face like a mad scientist, which made Wu Chang afraid that she would learn something wrong.

Fortunately, He Yun's laboratory is full of energy, and all electrical appliances can be charged wirelessly in real time, so there is no need to worry about your phone running out of power.

Three hours later, He Yun came to her senses. She rubbed her dry eyes and walked towards Wu Chang.

Wu Chang put away his phone, thinking that He Yun finally remembered him.

As a result, He Yun took a tablet from him and said:

"I have entered your information into my bedroom. If you are sleepy, go to sleep first. If you are bored, ask He Yi to take you around."

Wu Chang:?
No, I’ve already put on my winning underwear, and you want me to see this?
