Chapter 367: The Garden of Eden |
Of course, he felt the most interesting function was still the conversion.
It could forcibly convert other Advanced Building Cards into already-activated Advanced Giant Beast Building Cards.
He wouldn't have to worry about not getting Giant Beast series building cards in the future.
He just didn't know if other Ultimate Building Cards had similar functions.
After walking a full circle around the Giant Beast Heavy Industry, he finally found the entrance to get inside on the northwest side.
The massive passageway was like a gaping maw. Under the flickering firelight, a crimson carpet lay beneath his feet. He stepped onto a scaling ladder and descended for a distance.
Qin Ziwen's footsteps halted. He heard the thudding sound of footsteps coming from the pitch-black depths.
The sound grew closer and closer, like a frenzied drumbeat.
"Roar~"
A pair of large, bright red lanterns hanging in mid-air jumped out.
The pitch-black Little Black One seemed to blend into the surrounding environment, with only its large red eyes that could reflect light in the darkness staring fixedly at them.
"Come here." Qin Ziwen stretched out his hand. The giant beast in the darkness lowered its head.
Little Black One narrowed its eyes, bowing its head and pushing with its chest.
Denser footsteps came from behind as the white Little White Dragon leaped over.
After running up, it bounced around, wanting to jump into his arms.
"Stop fooling around." Qin Ziwen said, then placed Little White Dragon to the side.
He walked in the direction Little Black One had come from. Before long, the scene ahead abruptly changed.
Inside the building, a large number of trees and shrubs were planted.
Qin Ziwen thought this was actually fine. The interior of the Giant Beast Breeding Center originally had this kind of feature.
Now, after the fusion, having this kind of scenery inside the Giant Beast Heavy Industry was quite normal.
He discovered that within the Giant Beast Heavy Industry, there were no clear boundaries between different functional zones.
They just had a sign hanging overhead that read: Giant Beast Breeding Center.
After visiting the Giant Beast Breeding Center, he found that this department's location was in the abdominal core area of the Giant Beast Heavy Industry.
The internal structure wasn't much different from the previous Giant Beast Breeding Center, only the layout had become slightly more refined in some aspects.
However, the changes to the Giant Beast Feed Processing Plant were greater. The corpse input entrance had become a moving railway track.
Just like the intestines of this factory, it could transport corpses downstream. After processing through various procedures along the way, it would ultimately produce finished food.
Part of this assembly line would also pass through the Giant Beast Breeding Center.
Led by Qin Ziwen, Qin Ziwu and the others entered this massive factory.
"Is it thrown in from here?" Cao Biansheng asked, holding a corpse and looking at the continuously moving conveyor belt before him.
In the dark environment, apart from the corpse input entrance where some of the surroundings could be seen, everywhere else was shrouded in darkness. Only the sound of the track humming and moving could be heard.
"What is the power source inside here? Is it hydroelectric, thermal, or purely hydraulic propulsion?" Wang Yun was quite curious.
Hearing this, Qin Ziwen chuckled inwardly. You're asking me what the power source is?
It's not important.
Buildings can stand up and fight people; there's no need to care about such details.
Even if you told me this track was its intestines peristalsing, I'd believe it.
But of course, he couldn't answer others like that.
Qin Ziwen shook his head. "I'm not sure either, but it probably doesn't consume energy. Let's first see the decomposition effect."
Cao Biansheng threw the corpse onto the conveyor belt.
It's worth mentioning that there were nine such conveyor belts in this area.
The corpse landed on the conveyor belt and slowly moved forward until it was completely swallowed by the darkness.
A trembling hum came from the depths.
This feed processing plant began to work.
It seemed results wouldn't be available in a short time; they'd probably have to wait a while.
Qin Ziwen said, "Take all the carapaces from this hunt, then throw the remaining corpses onto the conveyor belts. Let's first see this factory's efficiency."
"Yes, Guild Leader." Cao Biansheng nodded in agreement. After speaking, he secretly observed the surrounding environment.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but ever since entering this place, he always felt strange.
Although the surroundings were clearly normal buildings, he felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.
Cao Biansheng thought it was probably because he was in an unfamiliar environment, feeling suppressed, which created this illusion.
Subsequently, Cao Biansheng led the Hunting Team members to carry the corpses obtained from this hunt into the feed processing plant inside the Giant Beast Heavy Industry.
"Cao-ge, the space inside here is quite large. If no one led the way, I suspect getting lost would be possible." A Hunting Team member who was helping carry said with a laugh.
"Nonsense, how old are you to still get lost? Later, I'll mention it to the Guild Leader to see if we can install more torches inside here." Cao Biansheng scolded with a laugh.
After finishing the work, a young man approached Cao Biansheng and whispered, "Cao-ge, are we really handing it all over just like that? I thought we could get a share of the centipede meat."
Cao Biansheng glanced at him, frowning. "What are you talking about? Would the Guild Leader shortchange you? Where did the weapon and leather armor you're wearing come from?"
"I know, I didn't mean anything else." The young man hurriedly shook his head.
The Qin Alliance Hunting Team's treatment had always been very good. Besides getting a share from each successful hunt, equipment was also prioritized for them on ordinary days.
Perhaps feeling his tone was a bit too harsh just now, Cao Biansheng's expression softened slightly. "Don't overthink it. You've read books; you should know if this processing plant works, it can save a lot of manpower. Moreover, during the battle just now, every participant in the hunt was counted. Your share won't be missing."
Before everyone left, that area returned to its former quietness.
By the bank of the River of Living Beings, Qin Ziwen sat at the riverside, taking out the newly obtained Wonder Card after settlement.
【Wonder Card】The Garden of Eden (Unique)
【Construction Requirements】World Heart*1, Golden Apple*9
The Garden of Eden is the paradise God created for the first human ancestors, Adam and Eve, as recorded in the Bible's Book of Genesis. Its name means "God's Garden."
He didn't know if this wonder had any connection to the Garden of Eden in the Bible.
But judging from the construction requirements, especially the first material, the World Heart, it sounded very expensive just by its name.
If this were in a game, it would probably be a premium material requiring a lot of in-game purchases to obtain.
He memorized the names of these two materials, the World Heart and the Golden Apple.
Then he put the card away.
He now had two wonders and one ultimate building.
The effects of these three buildings hadn't been fully digested yet, so he wasn't in a hurry to construct the third wonder.
The first two wonders were already gold-devouring behemoths.
Adding a third wonder, besides looking better on the panel, couldn't be efficiently activated in the short term.
The most important thing now was still to scout more information about this map.
Just as he was pondering, hurried footsteps came from behind. "Guild Leader, it's bad! There are many palm-sized black bugs outside the residential complex."
