Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

Chapter 64 The Civilization of Engraving

"Are there far fewer mutated beasts on the road?" Ding Fan couldn't help but sigh as he looked out the window.

"But whether it was the beast tide that Linjiang Shopping Mall faced or the beast tide brought by the snow demon here, it proves that the number of those mutated beasts is not small."

"They're just not around nearby for the time being, or they've gone into hiding." Su Xue remained vigilant, looking out the window at places where source energy beasts might be hiding.

"There's no need to be so nervous! With so many of us, even if we encounter a pack of beasts, we can easily fight our way out!" Hu Meng was quite relaxed, mainly because Wu Ou, a powerful expert, was in the car with them!

The journey was relatively safe; the few scattered source energy beasts we encountered were all killed and eaten.

Wu Ou met Xu Rui when they arrived at Linjiang Shopping Mall.

"Dr. Wu, how should we talk about the northern base?" He looked at Wu Ou with some anticipation.

"I'm sorry, Chief Xu."

In fact, the Northern Base also faced a beast tide yesterday and is now recovering and rebuilding.

But I've already explained the situation here.

There's another thing; I think that if you prepare well on your end, it will help you achieve the result you expect.

When Xu Rui first heard Wu Ou say that the northern base had suffered a disaster and could not help them for the time being, he was a little disappointed.

But upon hearing Wu Ou's next words, he smiled again, "Please tell us, please tell us! We'll definitely help if we can!"

"Here's the thing, you should have felt the earthquake here, right? We need to investigate the source of the earthquake and we need your support..."

Before Wu Ou could finish speaking, Xu Rui quickly expressed his support, saying, "Support, full support, absolute support!"

Whether it's personnel or materials, I can provide support! Just tell me what you need, and I'll find it as quickly as possible!

I'm not afraid of Wu Ou making demands, I'm afraid of Wu Ou not making any demands!

Xu Rui still feels a strong sense of belonging to the management team represented by the Northern Base.

Perhaps it was after managing such a large operation that I realized my own limitations.

Given that even someone as powerful as Wu Ou still acknowledges the Northern Base, it's probably best for an ordinary person like him, who's just lucky, to be more honest.

"Okay, first provide us with some basic materials. Here is a list."

As for manpower, I'm quite familiar with Miao Zikai, and he can bring four more people, some of whom are somewhat capable in combat, but unfortunately not at the top level." Wu Ou thought for a moment and lowered the demands he had initially wanted to make.

"Haha, Dr. Wu, you have no idea! After the beast tide, many of those who fought bloody battles have successfully broken through!"

Moreover, there are quite a few corpses of those mutated beasts. With fewer people here, each person gets a bigger share of the meat!

In total, about thirty people have advanced, and there are several more special evolvers as well!

Seeing the smile on Xu Rui's face, Wu Ou knew it wasn't fake.

In fact, Wu Ou had anticipated this, since high-intensity combat consumes physical energy, which can increase the chances of retaining external energy to some extent.

The appearance of the ruins has slightly increased the concentration of energy on Earth, especially in the areas near the ruins, where energy activity has also increased.

It can be said that it has undergone another small-scale energy tide.

Therefore, this number did not surprise Wu Ou.

"Well, as long as it doesn't interfere with your normal operations." Since Xu Rui was so enthusiastic, he couldn't refuse.

Soon, Miao Zikai arrived with four young men and materials at Wu Ou's place.

"Dr. Wu, it's nice to see you again."

This guy, Tang Bowen, is a special evolved being who has only recently awakened on our side.

Brother Xu said he happened to be here to help out and learn from you guys.

Tang Bowen stepped forward. Although he looked to be in his mid-twenties, he was very reserved, like a student.

"Dr. Wu!"

"Do you know how to use your abilities?" Wu Ou handed him a piece of metal.

Tang Bowen caught it with both hands, then clasped his hands together and pressed the metal in the middle.

Soon, the metal transformed into a sphere.

"Dr. Wu..." Tang Bowen opened his arms to show off his work.

"Okay, Leng Yue, have him assist you. We're leaving the day after tomorrow, so we need to hurry." Wu Ou took some materials and went into his room.

After all, his ability is somewhat unique and not easily accepted by people.

Moreover, he was responsible for a lot of things.

His main responsibility was the development of the ship's operating systems.

The item was something I asked Bai Zhou for before I left, since he was the one who completed the control system for the transport vehicle, so it was easy to modify.

With the basic blueprints, it was quite easy for Wu Ou to replicate them.

After consuming a pile of metal materials, under the control of superpowers, they were precisely divided into basic particles, which were then arranged one by one according to the blueprints to form individual parts.

Finally, let Leng Yue outside, now with Tang Bowen joining in, completely integrate them into one.

The inability to produce large items at once is a weakness in Wu Ou's current capabilities.

After all, he was mainly not used to doing things naked.

A simple boat was quickly completed by Wu Ou and his team.

After all, they didn't exactly build the ship from scratch; they converted a small truck that was almost scrapped.

The main consideration is that they need to retrieve some items from the island's ruins and bring them back. For these people, swimming in the water for a short period of time is not a problem.

"Although there are no high-powered weapons, it's amazing that they were able to make something like this in just one day." Xu Rui looked at the ship in front of him and couldn't help but applaud in amazement.

"I will make a batch of weapons for them," Wu Ou said.

Shields, swords, and bows can all be crafted.

Combined with the engraving techniques at hand, a source energy-enhanced version is created, boosting the combat power of these individuals.

Xu Rui had never seen a weapon enhanced with engraving technology before, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

"I will prepare food and water for Dr. Wu and your group," Xu Rui said, his eyes fixed on the ship.

If it can be transformed into a ship, it can certainly be transformed into a war machine.

The number of mutated beasts in the vicinity has decreased somewhat, as their hunting range is limited by their ability to hunt on foot alone.

If we had vehicles like that, we could get more food, and then we could have more evolved humans.

The next morning, Wu Ou and his men carried the boat to the riverbank.

"Speaking of which, could we go in underwater?" Ding Fan asked, looking at the still-flowing river.

"I don't have any problems, but can you stay underwater at such a deep depth for a long time? Also, given the changes that happened before, there might be changes happening here as well." Wu Ou shook his head.

Pfft!

Once the boat was in the water, everyone boarded and started the engine.

After watching Wu Ou and the others leave, Xu Rui turned and left after a long while.

On the other side, Wu Ou and his group did not encounter any attacking fish-type energy beasts during their journey of several hundred meters.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the island, they had already witnessed the changes.

"Is that... the entrance to the ruins?" Leng Yue looked at the prominent building on the island.

A mountain wall with various carvings interwoven to form a dazzling pattern.
