Chapter 14 Habits

After a full fifteen days of cleaning, the 69 base was initially sorted out, barely reaching the conditions for habitation. However, it is still quite a long time to remove all the garbage from the escape passage at the back of the base. After all, the savings of the mutant tribe for more than ten years cannot be underestimated. The engineers sent by Victor were of great use, and they were very familiar with the equipment of the old base, especially in the repair and maintenance of water treatment units.

As the main energy unit of the base gradually entered full power operation, the ventilation circulation unit, water treatment unit, residential area and factory area of 69 were started one by one, and the base gradually restored its old appearance. However, a large amount of groundwater required for the water treatment unit to operate at full capacity comes from underground rivers connected by escape routes. If the escape routes are not cleared, the current groundwater source is only enough for the water treatment unit to produce 10 tonnes of secondary water or half a tonne of clean water per day. In addition to his own use, the rest of the water produced is only enough to pay a small half of the manpower sent by Victor. These credits are put on the account, and when the escape route is cleared, the water treatment unit will produce a large amount of clean water, which is enough to sustain the survival of tens of thousands of people. In the new era, clean water can only be used for drinking, bathing, washing clothes, and all kinds of cleaning work use slightly less radiant groundwater, and the vast majority of people do not need to bathe and clean. Therefore, the water treatment unit, which was only enough to maintain the normal life of a few hundred people in the old era, has increased the number of people that can support it in the new era. If we save a little more, for example, for those slaves and laborers at the bottom of the water with a lower degree of treatment, then it can even support the lives of 30,000 or 40,000 people. Even a city like Midnight City has only ten times the water treatment capacity of 69, which can not only support a city's profligacy, but also have the spare power to carry out large-scale indoor agricultural production.

Throughout the repair and maintenance process, Quinn stayed with the engineers. Both sides take what they need, and the engineer's extensive knowledge is something Quinn's lack of and Quinn's shaping ability allows him to make almost any part he needs. At least on these old-era equipment, there are still no parts that can't be dealt with by first-order molding.

Su Youxin left this group of engineers behind, and it was simply unrealistic for Quinn to learn all the engineering knowledge alone, even if the amount of information that the human brain in the new era could process was dozens or even hundreds of times that of the humans in the old era, it was still unrealistic. The rate at which knowledge expands is always orders of magnitude higher than the human brain's ability to process it. Of course, a pervert like Helen whose processing power is comparable to that of a computing center is not considered. Even if you look at the bloody council with many strong people, there are not many guys with such perverted brains.

Compared to the shaping ability, in fact, Quinn's greatest value lies in trading and leadership. After all, he had once assembled a mob of hundreds of people and monopolized nearly ten settlements. According to the standards of the wilderness, this is an out-and-out hero, but after being put into Su's men, because of his lack of combat ability, he has more often become an engineer who simply handles logistics. However, Quinn never complained, perhaps in this man's heart, Sue saved his wife, enough for him to give this life.

Like Persephone, Quinn's wife, Sally of Rigore, was lost in Dragon City and was cut off. What can only be hoped for now is that the vision of a big man like Bebraz is too high, so that it will not fall on such an inconspicuous ordinary person. This is not entirely hopeless, in the Bloody Council's benchmark principle, only dragoons, servants, or members of the clan are the class with basic human rights, and ordinary people with no ability or background are basically the same, if not worse, and slaves. Over the decades, such guidelines have become part of common sense.

There is common sense, that is to say, there are blind spots.

In the eyes of any normal dragoon, the love between Quinn and his wife is incomprehensible. Who would fall in love with something that doesn't belong to their own race? How can there be love between a person and a monkey?

This is the common sense of the Bloody Council, between the capable and the incompetent, they no longer belong to the same species. This common sense, or norm, has also been gradually developed over a generation. Because a large number of facts have proved that the descendants of two capable people have a much higher chance of having ability talents than the descendants of ordinary people. Therefore, in the eyes of high-level abilities, ordinary women have been reduced to tools to vent their desires, not even fertility tools. So Sue also hoped that Bebraz would not think of using these people to threaten him. Although even if Bebraz did this, it would not actually play a threatening role, but Su did not want the people around him to be harmed, and all he could do was that.

But at the moment, there is another issue that worries Sue, and that is that Quinn's life is running out. When examining Quinn's body, Sue found that he was already showing signs of aging in his body. In the new era, in order to adapt to the world and survive, the physiological cycle has been greatly shortened, and the metabolic speed has also increased accordingly. Very few people living in the wilderness are over the age of 60, and most of them die naturally or unnaturally around the age of 40. Only with the ability can life be prolonged.

Judging from the decay of Quinn's internal organs, Su judged that he had less than two years of vitality. Quinn's talent was not as outstanding as that of Leigh and Rigore, and he used excessive formula abilities in his early days, because of the permanent damage to the genetic sequence, and the aging process began at this prime of life. Improving ability, a kind of Cheng dù is like igniting a big tree, the higher and stronger the flame, the faster the tree will turn into ashes.

Su has started the process of his own crazy evolution, and this process is irreversible, so Su can only watch the fire burn bigger and bigger until the day he burns himself out. A good and bad thing is that Su doesn't know how thick his tree is, but at present, it seems that it is quite thick, and it should be able to burn for a while. But when it comes to the size of the trunk, Medilli is definitely a towering tree.

If you want to prolong Quinn's vitality, you need very high-level genetic repair potions, such as the one that dragged Persephone to bankruptcy in the first place. And even if he had the money, with the level of biotechnology in Crane City, he would not be able to produce such a high-level potion. With gene repair agents, it is necessary to cooperate with people who can perform genetically level surgery. And a person with such a terrifying ability, even in the Bloody Council, is in no way inferior to the Dragoon General's Cunzài. In fact, Dr. Connor was the only one in the entire council who could perform genetic repair surgery. The effect of this surgery on prolonging life is very limited, generally not more than 10 years, but it will cause some damage to the existing ability and potential, and no one will want to do this surgery unless the end of life. But for those who are really big, at the last moment, it is good to extend even a year more of life.

Quinn is not a big man, and Sue doesn't have the financial resources and background to ask Dr. Connor to do it, so if nothing else, two years later, Quinn will be the first person to leave Sue.

Seeing Quinn's busyness day and night, Sue could only hide the secret deeply. No matter who it is, there will always be death, there will always be departure. Even he himself is no exception.

Sue knew that one day, he too would ruin Miè, and he would also leave this world, leaving Medirri and Persephone who he wanted to protect, his servants and the people he remembered. But before this day comes, he still has to do his best to make the people around him live better.

That's all.

Su never thought of himself as a man with great ideals, he just wanted his life to be simpler, simpler.

During this time, for some reason, Su found that he had a lot of chaotic thoughts, perhaps because he had not had rest and peace for too long, and once he left those breathless battles and escapes, he was not adaptable.

But the tranquility of these ten days also made him reorganize his own abilities and those of his followers. Su had retained a large number of evolution points and wanted to develop an autonomous ninth-order ability in the perception domain, but Pandora's unexpected attack forced him to turn to an alternate plan and develop the rapid advance that he had taken from Crotina. But as an eighth-order skill, how could Extreme Rush come from thin air? Previously, Su's highest-level abilities in the Fighting Domain were only third-order strength and speed. In order to advance at extreme speed, he increased his speed to the seventh order and increased his strength to the sixth order, which paved the way to the extreme speed advance. If you don't have enough power, you won't be able to exert the power of the Rush Rush. In terms of power, the Extreme Speed Advance is actually not inferior to the ninth-order ability. The power of this ability depends on the strength of some basic abilities such as strength and speed, and at the same time, it also has quite high requirements for the ability to control energy and body. In order to exert its true power, it actually requires ninth-order strength, speed, and super-eighth-order energy manipulation in spell-like spells. Of course, if Sue can meet these requirements, she will have the strength to fight Pandora.

However, as a result of forcibly evolving a rapid advance, Su's evolution points are running out, and he doesn't know when he will be able to obtain the ninth-order ability of the perception domain.

Medirri also used all of her evolution points in the night's fierce battle, developing a fifth-order strength and fourth-order speed, as well as a second-order agility, agility, and defense. In Su's opinion, Medirli actually has quite high talents in the five major ability domains, and if it properly assists low-level abilities in other fields, it will have a more significant increase in combat effectiveness. But this blue-eyed girl seems to be iron-hearted, just concentrating on developing her fighting domain ability, and refuses to cast a single evolution point in other fields.
