I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

"Iron King, can I ask you for a favor?"

After a while, Qin Zhong looked up at Ding Kai and said, "You know that my mutant ability needs to absorb a large amount of steel essence to be further enhanced. I think there should be a similar warehouse at the base. Can you provide some for me?"

Ding Kai nodded immediately after hearing Qin Zhong's request and said, "A great war is imminent. As long as it can enhance your combat effectiveness, even if you devour the entire base's inventory, it's no problem!"

"Well, thank you for your help!" Qin nodded, expressing his gratitude: "Then let's go now! Is that okay?"

Ding Kai looked at Qin Zhong and saw that he looked serious. He sighed secretly in his heart. It seemed that he still didn't want to give up rescuing Sun Xiaoyan. He just wanted to improve his abilities first and then go.

Even though he knew this was the case, Ding Kai would not try to persuade him. In his opinion, although Qin Zhong was very important to Bureau 749 and even China, he was also a human being, not a dead object.

As for Qin Zhong's decision, he, as well as Mr. Shen, Mr. Yan and others, could only persuade him but could not directly interfere.

Otherwise, it will only backfire and even cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"You all stay here and familiarize yourself with your physical condition and super powers after your level is upgraded. I will go with the Iron King to devour the steel. Don't worry about me."

While Ding Kai was lost in thought, Qin Zhong had already explained some things to Xiao Yingyong and others.

Qin Zhong and Ding Kai left the room and quickly left the metal fortress. They got on an off-road vehicle and drove forward. After about ten minutes, a huge steel gate stood at the end of the road.

Qin Zhong looked up and saw a few big words written in white paint on the gate: The Third Smelting Area.

"This place was once our smelting area. There's tons of steel in it. Many of the weapons our soldiers use were produced here. There's a large amount of steel in there. I think it's enough for you to eat."

Walking to the front of the iron gate, Ding Kai pressed a button on the gate. After it started, the steel gate began to open slowly.

Along with the noise of metal friction, a strong heat wave came towards us as the gate slowly opened.

"It's so hot!" The intense heat wave made Qin Zhong squint his eyes and carefully look at the scene behind the door.

There were a large number of steel furnaces inside, and sticky and hot iron liquid was constantly flowing in each furnace.

The intense flames and flying sparks made Qin Zhong slow down his pace. If he was accidentally sprayed by the magma-like iron liquid, it would not be a fun thing.

"How's it going..." Seeing Qin Zhong's stunned expression, Ding Kai patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "You're welcome. This place has been empty these days due to war preparations. Feel free to eat and you'll be full."

Qin Zhong looked at the piles of steel on the ground and swallowed his saliva. As expected, comparison makes one feel nauseous. If he went to Xiaoshan, he could only go to that kind of scrap warehouse to collect scrap.

After finding the Iron King, he came directly to such a high-quality warehouse. However, perhaps because his supernatural powers had been upgraded, he did not feel as hungry as before when faced with these steels that looked to be of good quality.

"I don't know why, but I have no appetite after seeing these..."

Qin Zhong shrugged helplessly and said, "Maybe my abilities are a little saturated, or maybe I'm a little picky about food?"

"Can this still happen?"

Ding Kai was stunned for a moment, then picked up a fist-sized piece of steel scrap and handed it to Qin Zhong: "Try it and see if it helps."

……

"Oh……"

Qin Zhong took it, frowned, and put the steel in his mouth. As he activated the Taotie Swallowing Heaven skill, his upper and lower teeth closed, and the hard steel was bitten into pieces like a biscuit.

"Pooh, cough cough, it tastes so bad!"

Qin Zhong chewed it tentatively for a few times, then forcefully spat out the powdered steel. He said with a look of disgust, "No, it's like eating dirt mixed with impurities. It's disgusting."

“Steel also has a smell?”

Seeing Qin Zhong's bitter face, Ding Kai frowned slightly and said, "You said before that Xiao Shan took you to the scrap steel warehouse. The steel there shouldn't be better than here. How did you feel when you ate it? Was it different from here?"

"Um……"

Qin Zhong recalled the taste of swallowing the steel and said, "At that time, when I ate that steel, it felt like eating creamy chocolate. After eating it, my whole body was warm, and then I felt a strong energy infusing my body, and I felt very full and satisfied. But this piece, there is nothing."

After saying that, Qin Zhong threw the remaining half piece of steel on the ground with force, and said with frustration: "It seems that I thought it was too simple. I thought that as long as I kept eating, I would become stronger."

Ding Kai frowned and pondered with a puzzled look on his face. After a long while, he seemed to have thought of something and his gaze turned to the deepest part of the smelting plant.

"Come with me, maybe you'll see this and whet your appetite."

"Hopefully!"

Hearing Ding Kai's words, Qin Zhong shrugged his shoulders and followed Ding Kai into the depths of the factory. As he walked, he was still thinking: "If this is really the case, then there is nothing we can do. This may be fate!"

After walking about five hundred meters, Ding Kai stopped in front of a novel-looking furnace. He opened a large iron box next to it, pointed at the rows of silver-white metal inside, and said, "Take a look at this. Are you interested?"

Inside the iron box were arm-length silver alloy bars, which sparkled with a dazzling and textured silver glow under the illumination of the molten flames.

"This is..." When Qin Zhong saw these silver-white alloys for the first time, he felt a strong sense of hunger in his heart, as if urging him to eat these metals quickly.

Qin Zhong reached into the box and took out an alloy, put it into his mouth without hesitation, activated his supernatural power of gluttony, and began to eat.

“Click! Click!”

At this moment, Qin Zhong seemed to have turned into a glutton. With the crisp sound of chewing, an arm-sized silver-white alloy was devoured by him in the blink of an eye.

"Iron King, what kind of metal is this? It may not taste as good as the Cold Blood Sword of Fury, but it tastes much better than the scrap steel I ate before. After swallowing this piece of metal, I feel that my physical strength has increased a lot."

After wiping the metal powder from the corner of his mouth, Qin Zhong took out another alloy from the box and asked curiously while eating.

"Okay, you really know how to pick out the expensive ones to eat..."

Ding Kai watched Qin Zhong devour the second piece of silver alloy like a wolf and a tiger, and smiled bitterly. "This is special steel. It has high hardness, high toughness, and high wear resistance that ordinary steel does not have. It is generally used to make the key structures of advanced cold weapons and hot weapons. Don't underestimate this iron box. It contains the production of the entire factory for half a year."

"Ah, then it will be gone after we finish eating it?"

Hearing Ding Kai's words, Qin Zhong couldn't help but reveal a look of disappointment on his face. It seemed that his path of devouring evolution was still long and arduous!
