Chapter 25: The Second Jewel

Lao Dao heard Cheng Ming say that he had absorbed the mutton fat jade bracelet, and he also came to the spirit, and hurriedly asked Cheng Ming to tell him what happened after the absorption, and Cheng Ming did not hide it, and said the conversation with Chopper before, and heard a burst of joy and sorrow on Lao Dao's face, and in the end, he completely calmed down.

"Real person, you said that the same kind of gems that Chopper mentioned can replenish energy and get benefits, but where can I find those gems?"

Although Cheng Ming repeated what Chopper said before to Lao Dao, the focus of his concern was still on replenishing energy, after all, this was the first problem to be solved, so as soon as he talked about the complete process, he hurriedly asked Lao Dao.

"You don't have to worry about this, you forgot that all the gems at that time were arranged by Lao Dao, and I know the specific location."

Cheng Ming patted his forehead, yes, the gem was arranged and placed by Lao Dao at that time, and the location of the gem was clear to Lao Dao, so what was he worried about.

"However, Huaxia is so big, those gems are distributed everywhere, this is a bit troublesome, why don't we go back to the base first, and see if there is any way for the base to let us quickly reach the places where the gems are stored."

"That's all there is to it."

Cheng Ming also felt that it was indeed a bit unrealistic to go all over China and obtain gems on his own two legs, so he agreed with Lao Dao's opinion.

"By the way, Xiao Cheng, we went back to the base this time, just passing through Shaanxi Province, I remember that we placed two gems in Shaanxi Province at that time, one of which is yellow, that is, the earth gem, or we should go directly to the research institute where the gem is located."

"Really?" Hearing Lao Dao say this, Cheng Ming was also excited.

"Well, that research institute is in AK City, just south of the ancient capital, although it is a bit of a detour, but now replenishing Chopper's energy is the most important thing, when you fuse the gem, let's go to Maoshan again, and find a way to see if we can find my mecha, so that we have two mecha to compare, and we can better get useful information."

The two planned a specific route again before they went to rest.

Because the two of them didn't sleep the day before, and they were busy all day during the day, both of them were very tired at this time, so after discussing the details, they fell asleep and slept until dawn the next day, when they were woken up by Shen Min, and a few people simply ate something and embarked on the journey to Shaanxi Province.

Of course, it was thanks to Shen Min that they were able to determine the direction so quickly, because Shen Min had a national atlas that he had picked up from the road, which saved them a lot of trouble.

On this matter, Cheng Ming also complained about Lao Dao for a long time, saying that he didn't know how to bring a map when he went out, it was not professional at all, and Lao Dao was also embarrassed.

After nine days of traveling, just when the food they brought was about to run out, the five finally arrived at their destination - AK City, which is a large city, which also indicates that there will be a lot of alien mecha patrols here, so several people are very careful, for fear of encountering danger and accidents.

"I said, why do we have to enter the city, how dangerous is this?"

Shen Min asked a little dissatisfied, they had tried to avoid the city all the way, although they had encountered a few patrolling spider mechas, but because there were not many of them, they were carefully avoided, but this time to enter a large city, it seems that it is not easy to pass through safely.

"There are very important things here, and we have to get them, so we have to take this risk, but then again, real people, why do you want to build such an important research institute in the middle of the city, isn't this asking for trouble?"

Cheng Ming explained to Shen Min, and then turned his head to ask Lao Dao, Lao Dao was also a little helpless at this time, who knew that there would be aliens invading the earth at that time, or he would definitely arrange all the research institutes in remote areas.

Cheng Ming saw that Lao Dao didn't speak, so he had to give up, carefully observed the surrounding environment, and compared the detailed map of the city in the atlas for a long time before determining the nearest route and rushing over with a few people.

From entering the city to arriving at the research institute, several people spent a whole afternoon, turning around, sometimes hiding to avoid the mecha, and sometimes going into the ruins of the building and passing through, until it was dark, and finally came to the vicinity of the research institute.

This is an office building, the upper part of the building has already collapsed, and I can't see how tall it was before, but this is not what Cheng Ming is concerned about, what he is concerned about is where this research institute is?

In front of the building, Lao Dao became the main force, he took a few people carefully into the underground parking lot next to the building, went down to the second floor, and walked around in it for a long time, came to a door that seemed to be an elevator door, Lao Dao took out the red card printed with a five-clawed golden dragon before, and swiped it on the card reader next to the door, and the door immediately separated to both sides, revealing an elevator room.

Lao Dao walked into the elevator room with a few people, pressed the only button on the side of the door, and the elevator door closed immediately, and it felt like the entire elevator was going down.

After more than ten seconds, the elevator stopped, the elevator door opened, and what appeared in front of everyone was a pitch-black space, Lao Dao took the lead out of the elevator, groped at the door for a long time, and suddenly several lights outside lit up, so that everyone could see the scene of the outside space.

Shen Min walked out of the elevator and looked at it curiously, while Cheng Ming and the two little guys were stunned in the elevator, and then Cheng Ming burst out with a foul language.

"Damn!"

It's no wonder that Cheng Ming reacted so much, the space here is exactly the same as the research institute where he lived for two years before, with the same layout, the same decoration, and even the location of the equipment.

Cheng Ming walked out of the elevator and said in front of Lao Dao.

"I said real person, no wonder you are so familiar with the previous research institute, all your research institutes are carved out of the same mold. You guys are a little too easy to do, isn't it? ”

Lao Dao was a little embarrassed by what Cheng Ming said, just smiled, and said to Ke'er and Lin Fan.

"Ke'er, Xiaofan, you two take your sister Min to cook, this place is the same as the place you lived before, and the location of things is the same."

"Okay grandpa." After a short period of surprise, the two little ones also recovered and obediently took Shen Min to the food storage room.

And Cheng Ming was dragged by Lao Dao to the laboratory quickly, and when he came to the familiar and unfamiliar laboratory, Cheng Ming and Lao Dao went straight to the place where the gems were stored.

This gem is much brighter than the one that Cheng Ming fused before, and it may be because the energy in it has not been used much, there is a power supply system for the building before, so there is no need to use gems to power the power, so the energy used is indeed not very much.

"Real person, can you start absorbing it now?"

Cheng Ming asked Lao Dao, who was silent for a while and said.

"It's still night, wait until they're all asleep and then absorb it, it's safer."
