Nie Hai stared at Shi Lei with a sinister look: "Impossible."
Shi Lei looked at Nie Hai indifferently: "That's okay."
Nie Hai didn't expect Shi Lei to leave like this. That copper lock can only be opened with a specific key.
Shi Lei happened to have such an expert who could open all kinds of old-fashioned locks.
The copper lock was opened easily, but unfortunately, there was nothing in the box.
"Impossible, Nie Hai's expression can't be deceiving. The information must be here."
Shi Lei hurriedly returned to the place where Nie Hai was imprisoned. The empty box was thrown in front of Nie Hai: "Where are the things?"
Nie Hai looked at the box with nothing left behind. He clearly put all the things in it. Who could have such great ability to take those things away? But this gave him a good reason.
"Mr. Shi, I told you that I don't have that information. This box is just an old item left by my grandfather, nothing special."
Veins popped out on Shi Lei's forehead, and he gritted his teeth: "Nie Hai, I don't believe a word you say. If you still refuse to reveal the whereabouts of those materials, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Nie Hai closed his eyes and didn't look at Shi Lei or the empty box on the ground.
"Okay, very good, come here and 'serve' him well."

Three days later, Han Qi and Lin Yue returned to the base with the new superpowers, followed by ten half-dead zombies behind the vehicle.
The zombies were taken to the laboratory, and they returned to Area 3, where the crystal core was given to a person with superpowers as usual.
As soon as she came back, Lin Yue went back to her room without saying anything to Han Qi. Han Qi also felt confused and didn't know where he had offended her.
Xie Lun smiled and said nothing.
Han Qi took Liu Yiyi back to his room. Xie Lun was sent to Zhang Cheng's original room by Han Qi. After all, Liu Yiyi lived in his room, so Xie Lun was inconvenienced.
Only the people in the first and second districts knew about Nie Hai being imprisoned. Lin Yue did not want to go to Nie Hai immediately when she came back. It was several days before they found out about Nie Hai being imprisoned.
Two days passed uneventfully, nothing happened, but it felt like a storm was about to come.
The weather outside is perfect and the sun is shining brightly. Today is the fifteenth day for the first batch of new superpower users to take superpower rice.
Lin Yue was flipping through Nie Hai's diary.
"Ms. Lin, it's not good!"
Li Yuan shouted and knocked on Lin Yue's door. Lin Yue put the diary on the bed, walked over and opened the door: "What's the matter? You're yelling."
"Ms. Lin, many people with new powers have died. Go and take a look. Their death conditions are exactly the same as those of the two people who were discovered some time ago."
Lin Yue's eyes instantly showed the appearance of the two mummies.
"Go find Han Qi quickly, I'll go there first."
Lin Yue hurried to the area where the new superpowers were located, while Li Yuan hurried to where Han Qi lived.
More than a dozen mummies lay in his room, all dead in the same shape, as if their flesh and blood had been sucked dry by something.
Several women who were watching couldn't hold it back and ran to the side to vomit.
These people were fighting zombies with them a few days ago, but today they looked like this.
When Han Qi arrived, the dozen mummies had been carried out and placed side by side outside.
Xie Lun followed Han Qi and couldn't help but frown deeply when he saw this scene.
Han Qi glanced at the mummy on the ground and quickly walked to Lin Yue: "What's going on?"
Lin Yue shook her head: "I don't know either. Li Yuanlai told me that these people are all new superpowers."
Han Qi walked up to one of the mummies and said, "System, scan it and see what you can find."
Xie Lun stood next to Han Qi: "Is there any ulterior experiment in your base?"
Han Qi didn't expect Xie Lun to ask: "Did you see something?"
Xie Lun shook his head. He was not sure. The miserable situation of these people was very similar to the superpower rice they first developed. Ordinary people can become superpowers after taking it, but it only takes a very short time. After a few days, they will turn into mummies, because
In that experiment, Eastern Base lost a large number of humans, and the experiment was banned after that.
And now these mummies do look a lot like the victims of the previous experiment.
Seeing Xie Lun shaking his head, Han Qi said nothing and could only wait for the system to give out the scan results.
[Host, these people do not have superpower crystal nuclei in their minds. Their superpower energy comes from the undigested rice grains in their stomachs. 】
"What? They don't have crystal nuclei in their brains?"
【Yes, host.】
Han Qi walked towards Lin Yue: "These people's deaths should be all because of the supernatural rice."
Xie Lun stood aside and was surprised when he heard the word super rice: "You mean super rice?"
Han Qi looked at Xie Lun: "Do you know about superpower rice?"
Xie Lun nodded: "Is it a kind of upland rice with supernatural energy?"
Han Qi nodded.
Xie Lun sighed softly: "It seems that's it. Superpower rice can only store superpowers. People who take it can gain superpowers in a short time. Once the superpower rice is digested by gastric juice, the person will begin to fail and shrink from the inside.
, turned into a mummy."
Han Qi and Lin Yue looked at each other and saw incredible things in each other's eyes.
"It's just that the time limit of the superpower rice is very short. When did these people take the superpower rice?"
Lin Yue remembered this time clearly: "Fifteen days ago."
Xie Lun was confused: "That's strange. It only takes a few days for the supernatural rice to be digested by human gastric juice."
Han Qi looked at Xie Lun: "What did you use to cultivate the supernatural rice you mentioned?"
"The superpower crystal nuclei are ground into powder, dissolved in a solution, and then poured into water. However, that experiment was banned before I was born. How could any of you know about this kind of experiment?"
"But the superpower rice these people take is all watered by the blood of superpowers."
