Doomsday: It’s normal that I can choose a stronger power.

Beijing Base Command Center..

Long Zhanguo frowned as he looked at the report brought from the satellite control center.

During this period, bases were destroyed by the zombie hordes one after another. In just one week, dozens of small and medium-sized bases disappeared, which made Long Zhanguo feel very heavy.

"It seems that the national conference needs to speed up its progress." Long Zhanguo whispered.

"Have the satellite phones been distributed to all bases?"

"We've already assigned the distribution to the official bases in each region. Currently, most bases have received the satellite phones, but a few have not yet."

"what reason?"

"Some bases are located in remote areas, with no official bases nearby, so they can't be delivered. Some are... the official bases are inactive!"

"Inaction!?" Long Zhanguo's face darkened.

"What a complete inaction! Do you really think that this is the end of the world and we can't do anything about them?!"

"We may not make any demands on the bases built by ordinary people, but for official bases, those built with official weapons and fame must live up to the name of official. Whoever dares not to do anything will be replaced!" Long Zhanguo said angrily.

"Yes!"

"Hurry up and put a national meeting on the agenda. Have all the major bases exchange their low-level crystals for high-level crystals. This will at least give them a better chance of survival."

"Yes."

"General Long, at what ratio should we ask them to exchange with us?" asked a man in camouflage uniform.

"What is the current ratio of synthetic crystals achieved by the R&D department?" Long Zhanguo asked, looking at a bald man sitting on his left.

"Because the materials have been comprehensively improved, the synthesis ratio of crystals of level seven and below can now reach 12 to make one crystal of the next higher level.

Crystals of level eight and above cannot be perfectly controlled because their energy is too huge, so about 15 of them are combined into one.

Furthermore, technology has achieved another breakthrough, and it is now possible to synthesize tenth-order crystals, but this may require around 20 crystals, and there is also the risk of failure."

"Hmm... There's no rush for the tenth-tier crystals. Let's increase the number of sixth and seventh-tier crystals first. Facing the zombie horde, mid-tier combat power is the core."

"Yes."

"If you want to exchange, tell them that 13 crystals of level 16 and below can be exchanged for one crystal of the next higher level, and 9 crystals of level and above can be exchanged for one crystal of the next higher level. The highest exchange is level !" Long Zhanguo said in a deep voice.

"General Long, if we exchange it like this, we will hardly make any profit. You know, the manpower and material resources required to synthesize the crystals are extremely huge!" said a middle-aged man.

"You still want to make money at this time? Do you want to make a fortune from the national disaster?!" Long Zhanguo said angrily.

"Those bases down there are struggling to survive right now. If we don't improve their strength quickly, do we want them all to be destroyed?!"

Seeing Long Zhanguo getting angry, everyone quickly lowered their heads and dared not speak.

In fact, when the national conference was first proposed, the purpose was to allow people from major bases to bring crystals for resource integration.

At that time they were still thinking about 100:1.

Unexpectedly, Long Zhanguo directly changed the nature of the exchange. According to this ratio, it is equivalent to the capital supporting the major bases for free.

However, there are still many people who agree with Long Zhanguo's approach. As the capital of China, it naturally cannot only care about its own interests, but also has to consider the interests of the entire China.

While Long Zhanguo and others were extremely busy, the members of the Xingyun team were quite relaxed, playing mahjong or cards all day long.

It’s not their fault. There are no zombies worth their attention right now.

But playing cards is not decadent, at least it means not neglecting daily practice.

After this period of training, the strength of the Xingyue team has steadily reached the mid-level eleventh level, and Yang Bin also has a premonition that he will probably be promoted to the twelfth level in the next two days.

Just when everyone was playing cards enthusiastically...

"boom...!"

A loud bang came from Hu Wenliang's room, shaking the floor. The door in the room suddenly flew out and hit Lao Hei's head with a "bang".

"Damn! Enemy attack!" Lao Hei jumped up and looked around with a vigilant look on his face.

The others also looked at this sudden scene in confusion.

What is going on here?!

Soon, a surprised voice sounded from the room.

“Haha! I succeeded!!!”

Immediately afterwards, Hu Wenliang, with disheveled hair and a look of excitement, ran out.

"Brother Bin, I succeeded!!"

"Uh...Liangzi, why don't you go take a shower first?" Yang Bin said with a look of disgust.

Hu Wenliang looked at himself but didn't care. He excitedly said again: "Brother Bin, do you know? I successfully activated the formation!"

"Activated!?" Yang Bin was also a little surprised.

"Liangzi, is the formation you activated to blow yourself up?" Chen Hao smiled as he looked at Hu Wenliang.

"Go away, you know nothing!"

"Wait a moment, I'm going to take a shower. I'll show you how to do it later. It will definitely drop your jaw!" Hu Wenliang said and ran straight into the bathroom.

Everyone looked at each other with some anticipation.

Soon, Hu Wenliang took a shower and changed into clean clothes.

"Come on, let's go to the backyard."

Everyone followed him to the backyard with curiosity.

Hu Wenliang found a clean piece of floor, wiped it, and then began to carve on it.

Everyone looked at him quietly, not daring to speak.

Hu Wenliang carved slowly but steadily, as if the entire formation had been imprinted in his mind.

During this period, he worked day and night to study the formation, and the effect was very obvious.

The formation has many lines of patterns, and the curvature, position and length of each line cannot be wrong at all.

To be honest, it’s a headache just to remember such a complicated array pattern, let alone draw it.

Fortunately, Hu Wenliang was interested in this thing, and he had the strength to support it, so he was able to portray it so completely in just a few days.

After a while, Hu Wenliang stood up, and he had already drawn complicated lines on the floor.

The pattern was almost identical to the one on their underground altar, but some parts seemed to have changed.

For example, he left a hole where several pillars were originally placed, and the connecting lines were also changed.

Obviously, Hu Wenliang did not just follow the example during this period, but also put a lot of thought into making adjustments.

"Is this the formation you drew? There's no reaction?" Chen Hao asked puzzledly.

"Hey, look at me!"

After Hu Wenliang finished speaking, he took out a handful of fifth-order crystals from his pocket and then placed them into the nine pits one by one.

As he placed the last crystal in, the entire formation suddenly emitted a dazzling light as if it were activated.

Everyone suddenly felt that the spiritual energy around them seemed to be more active, and it felt like they were practicing at night.

Yang Bin showed a look of surprise on his face, and then opened his Eye of True Vision to check.

Sure enough, I saw a trace of spiritual energy flowing towards this side as if being drawn.

However, at this moment...

"boom..."

An explosion was heard, and the floor was blown into pieces, leaving a big pit in its place, and everyone was covered in dirt.

"........"

"Damn it! I told you that you were going to use this thing to blow yourself up." Chen Hao spat out the dirt in his mouth and complained.

"Uh...it's not my fault. It's just that the floor material is too poor." Hu Wenliang said embarrassedly.
