Chapter 32: Untying the Knot
Chu Ci took the things handed over by Bai Qiang and was stunned. "What is this?"
Bai Qiang pursed her lips with a reluctant look.
On the contrary, the hedgehog who came out to watch the play glanced at it and immediately recognized it, "Something sent by zombies." โ
"Yo, this is a gift from the guy across the street to Miss Charlene?" Because they were responsible for leading their teams to transport back the things they collected today and receive them in the warehouse for storage, Lu Weiming and Liang Sihao, who had just come over at this time, obviously saw the scene where Xia Lin threw things to Du Qinglin.
It's just that statement, why does it sound so uncomfortable? Chu Ci's brows furrowed.
"How's it going to be today?"
"No, that's it." Lu Weiming shrugged his shoulders, his face was careless, as if he didn't take the matter of collecting the dungeon's materials to heart at all, and just dealt with it casually.
Liang Sihao smiled shyly, "Today we dug up a ruin and got something new. โ
"What?" As soon as he heard that there was something new, Bai Qiang's eyes, who were still coveting the box in Chu Ci's hand, lit up. looked at Liang Sihao with anticipation.
Although he is the youngest of the crowd, Liang Sihao and Bai Qiang have not been together for a short time, not to mention that they know ten percent of Bai Qiang's personality and habits, and seven or eight percent of them are still there, but they are a little embarrassed immediately.
"It's just some ancient human currency stuff......"
I didn't have anything to analyze for Bai Qiang. o(โฏโกโฐ)o
"Currency?" Bai Qiang raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Liang Sihao with a pair of eyebrows and eyes. "What's so rare about money?"
Although this thing has been excavated a little, it is not rare, let alone new.
Liang Sihao still only smiled shyly, but Lu Weiming squeezed his eyes. "This is not uncommon for you to say, don't ask the boss to study it when the time comes~"
"Hmph, don't just ......" Bai Qiang braked suddenly, "You think beautiful!" You say don't want it, don't want it? Mother, I still have to study it! โ
Lu Weiming sneered, but he didn't continue to argue with Bai Qiang, he was just joking with Bai Qiang. "We've only gotten a few of them, according to observations. This should be a kind of commemorative coin once issued by the ancient Huaxia Kingdom. We've detected more than one rare metal reaction from above......"
After thousands of years of changes, although there are many minerals and materials on the earth that have been newly generated or exposed due to crustal movements, these resources are limited in the end. Coupled with the large-scale exploitation and waste of the earth's resources by human beings, many metals that were not very rare at that time have begun to become rare, let alone rare metals at that time.
As a result, the amount of this currency, especially that made of rare metals, is small. But the value is not low.
After all, not all antiques can have a second value other than ornamental collection after they have exhausted the energy contained in their bodies.
Of course. Books are excluded.
"Alloy?" The brightness in Bai Qiang's eyes added a little more.
Although the alloy technology of ancient humans was not as strong as it is now, it was rich in mineral resources in that era, and there were many rare metals that had long been extinct in this era, but alien ores were the ones in their current era. What is already a rotten street does not exist at all, and even if there is, only a very small number of "high-tech" of that era will use it.
These alloys of pure Earth-bred materials have another great significance to the Federation - even without the ore provided by the Interstellar Alliance. Even if the federal reserves run out of interstellar ore, they can still make Earth self-sufficient.
However, the Interstellar Alliance is inseparable from the ore that only Earth can produce.
However, this kind of political significance is not the focus of several people at this time. What they're concerned about is, how many of them are there? Or rather, how many are there in the dungeons?
And how many can they find?
Because of the oxidation of metals, metal utensils on earth are often extremely difficult to preserve, especially in humid places. Therefore, during this period of time, although they have also harvested several metal currencies, they are only the most common metal currencies in circulation in China thousands of years ago.
This is the first time I've found something like this.
For a while, everyone was a little excited, but they temporarily put aside the fact that Xia Lin had given the things sent by the zombies to Chu Ci.
Because it happened to be close to the meal, the soldiers in charge of cooking in the kitchen were busy and in full swing, Charlene stole a lot of good things in it very smoothly, and even came to a bowl of homemade spicy tang, so she finally ate to her heart's content and left the kitchen.
When Xia Lin was foraging in the kitchen, Du Qinglin was guarding outside the kitchen, and naturally saw Chu Ci and others enter the big tent together.
It's just that he himself is not a person who likes to join in the fun, and his personality is a little more wooden than that of a hedgehog, plus Chu Ci clearly handed over the task of taking care of Xia Lin to him, Du Qinglin naturally refused to let other things waver, so he still honestly guarded outside the kitchen.
It's not that he doesn't want to go in, it's that Charlene makes it clear that she doesn't want to see him for the time being.
It wasn't until Charlene had eaten and drunk enough and came out calmly that Du Qinglin took Charlene to find everyone.
Chu Ci had already quietly put away the box in his hand, and returned to the big tent where they had stayed before as Bai Qiang and the others turned to fight.
This big tent originally belonged to Chu Ci, but in order to facilitate everyone's meeting, Chu Ci brought a small tent with him, so he simply vacated it.
Later, in addition, Bai Qiang's real yร n room was too small, and there were too many "dangerous goods" in it, which seemed to be insufficient, so there were a lot of relatively non-dangerous real yร n equipment here.
Of course, there are a few sofas for everyone to sit down and rest when they have a meeting or stay here temporarily, and occasionally Bai Qiang will directly guard the experiment here when there is no meeting, and lie directly on the sofa to sleep at night, which is also convenient, and also makes it a little more warm and relaxing here.
Since this commemorative coin was only initially monitored, the test was carried out in this conference room.
When Charlene walked in, everyone was gathered in front of the instruments waiting for the results.
Because I don't know where it was. Naturally, she didn't know about the commemorative coins, and Charlene thought that everyone was testing the crystal nuclei sent by the zombies opposite, and she couldn't help but be a little interested.
Although she doesn't have a good impression of zombies, it doesn't mean that she will push good things out, right?
Besides, although the crystal nuclei of these alien beasts are not as effective as those of zombies, they are also extremely rare power stones for the current Federation. I just don't know the ability of Bai Qiang. Is it possible to extract the energy from this crystal nucleus?
Thinking of the last time Chu Ci was unconscious in the hospital, the treatment that Bai Qiang did was comparable to a sci-fi blockbuster in Xia Lin's eyes, Xia Lin's eyes flashed slightly.
Charlene walked in. Chu Ci, who was originally sitting on the sofa and pondering, glanced up at her.
Charlene smiled a shallow smile at Chu Ci. "What are you doing?"
"Testing." Chu Ci's brows were still furrowed, but seeing that Xia Lin seemed to be much calmer than before, her brows stretched slightly.
"Lab?" Charlene smiled, "You opened the box so quickly?" โ
Hear the words. Chu Ci raised his head again and stared at Xia Lin for a long time.
"What's wrong. Something on my face? Being stared at by Chu Ci's eyes inexplicably and feeling a little weak, Xia Lin subconsciously raised her hand and touched her face.
Doesn't seem to have it? She's washed her face!
"You know what's in there." Chu Ci was silent for a while, and said in an affirmative tone.
Charlene pursed her lips and calmly sat down on the sofa opposite Chu Ci. "Of course."
Although she wanted to kill the zombie on the other side immediately. But every time those zombies sent something, she also took it personally. Otherwise, how could she really rest assured that she would hand over a white rose and toss casually? What if I bring a zombie virus with me?
It's not that Charlene doesn't know what Bai Qiang is trying to take away those things for. But it's not that she doesn't want the Federation to develop a reagent that can dissolve the zombie virus. She just didn't want to die.
At least, not when they were the only ones. What if there is a zombie virus, properly turn them all into the walking dead?
I don't even have a chance to save it!
Chu Ci's eyes were a little strange, but Charlene looked back at them calmly.
The atmosphere between the two was a little strange, fortunately, Du Qinglin was also pulled over there by Lu Weiming to wait for the result, otherwise, I don't know what this group of guys will think.
After a while, Chu Ci spoke again. "You seem to have changed a lot."
Charlene looked at Chu Ci quite innocently for a while before she smiled slowly. "For the better or for the worse?"
Chu Ci shook his head, "I don't know yet, but I'm much calmer than before." After a pause, Chu Ci added. It should have gotten better. โ
The smile on Charlene's face became more and more obvious. "Aren't you afraid that I'll change back again?"
Chu:......
Are you a chameleon?
Seeing the look in Chu Ci's eyes, Charlene finally laughed out loud.
At this moment, she suddenly felt as if she had found her self a long time ago. That,Even she forgot about herself.,A girl who was once bright and courageous.ใ "I just untied some knots."
"Don't you hate zombies anymore?" Chu Ci looked at Charlene suspiciously.
He didn't think so.
Sure enough, Charlene shook her head without hesitation, "Of course not, for me, zombies are pain that can never be erased, let alone forgiven." โ
Chu Ci looked at Xia Lin and was silent.
"But that doesn't mean I have to be controlled by hatred, does it?" Charlene's tone suddenly became stern. "I don't understand and don't want to understand your so-called big picture. But I'm not a rigid person, as long as the result can achieve what I want, what's the importance of the process? โ
When she said this, Charlene had a somewhat peculiar smile on her face, which unexpectedly made Chu Ci feel familiar.
Really...... Was it taken crooked by the eldest brother?
In the past, Charlene was not so difficult. (To be continued) R466
