Making it impossible for people to refuse (Chapter 211)
Unexpectedly, as soon as they opened the folder, it was a bombshell.
Gu Luoyu was sparked with interest. However, at the same time, she glanced at Ye Sheng, who was already seriously perusing the documents, and her crimson eyes filled instantly with amusement.
She could already imagine Ye Sheng's adorable, furious reaction when she revealed the contents of this document.
Thinking this, Gu Luoyu casually lowered her head to look at the document in her hand. But after flipping through just a couple of pages, she unconsciously sat up straight, her eyes growing more serious.
The document was only a dozen or so pages long, with not much content, but the written records were astonishing.
If there was no falsification, no wonder all the organizations were eager to explore the oceans… Even though millions of people had died one after another, they still wouldn't stop, never giving up.
It was also because the high number of deaths during previous ocean explorations had caused unease and anger among the base's populace, leading to protests that forced the base authorities to officially halt ocean exploration.
But only officially.
Who knows what they were doing behind the scenes.
Just like the Black Spring Freemasonry, which remained obsessed with exploring the ocean, a forbidden zone for humans, they discovered a special substance suspected to enable further human evolution, named Serena by researchers. It was even more powerful than the & energy contained in energy stones!
In the wasteland world, most living humans carry some radiation within their bodies, essentially no different from contaminated creatures, except they lack the ability to devour and evolve.
Directly consuming energy stones would result in immediate death.
A gruesome, deformed death.
However, the special substance 'Serena' produced in the ocean was very gentle.
During the experiments on samples successfully retrieved by the special team sent by the Black Spring Freemasonry, relevant results had already been obtained.
It could increase the IQ of ordinary humans and enhance their physical abilities by more than ten times.
As for other effects, further experiments were needed… But these two points alone were enough to make people crazy with desire, safer and more effective than conversion potions.
With minimal side effects, it allows the higher-ups to safely grow stronger, and that alone was enough.
Moreover, not only could ordinary people use the special substance 'Serena' to evolve and grow stronger, but even espers could benefit from it, gaining even more enhancements compared to ordinary people!
Gu Luoyu stared at the small note at the end of the last page, falling into silence, her left hand slowly yet rhythmically tapping her leg.
It seems there will be an unforgettable ocean expedition in the future!
One that's impossible to refuse.
After finishing reading, Gu Luoyu thought for a moment and then handed the document to Ye Sheng, signaling her to take a look first… Compared to before, Ye Sheng now had the ability to protect herself, so there was no need to hide too much.
Plus, Gu Luoyu absolutely wouldn't allow Ye Sheng to leave her sight. When it came to explore the ocean, she will definitely bring Ye Sheng along.
So, since it was bound to happen sooner or later, it was better to give her a heads-up in advance.
To avoid any sudden surprises later, leaving no time to explain, which might provoke Ye Sheng, and the consequences will be severe!
When Ye Sheng, puzzled, took the document, she initially wondered why Gu Luoyu wanted her to read this, she hadn't even finished the document in her hand about the research on releasing sea rats. But after flipping through a few pages, she immediately understood the reason.
Wow!
There really is something good in the ocean!
Ye Sheng grew more and more excited as she read. By the time she finished the last page, her eyes were shining brightly. She grabbed Gu Luoyu's sleeve and spoke with excitement, “When are we going to take a trip to the beach~”
Perhaps it was the fearlessness of a newborn calf, or maybe because Ye Sheng had arrived in the wasteland world midway, she didn't fully understand the extreme dangers of the ocean, a forbidden zone for humans.
She thought that since there were 'treasures' in the ocean, of course, they should go and dig them up.
Get those things in hand!
Besides making herself stronger, she could also exchange them for lottery points to draw more items… Having been bound to the Lucky Draw system for a while now, Ye Sheng knew that high-value items could be traded for more points.
Like energy stones.
“Not yet, we need to wait a bit longer!”
Surprised by Ye Sheng's impatience, Gu Luoyu raised her index finger to her lips, signaling that it wasn't time yet.
But…
“There's a way to shorten the waiting time. Send a few important documents to the base authorities, and then we don't need to worry, they'll take action immediately, and we can just muddle through.”
“Okay!”
After hearing Gu Luoyu's suggestion, Ye Sheng's eyes lit up, and she immediately started rummaging through the cabinets.
In the next moment, two stacks of folders appeared by the bedside. Ye Sheng patted them contentedly and then looked at Gu Luoyu, reminding her, “Time to get to work!”
……
After accepting the base's new team mission, they had two days of rest. However, Gu Luoyu and Ye Sheng spent all that time reading, finally managing to gather over a dozen important documents.
The first two times were pure luck, the folders they flipped through were all useless junk!
However, to avoid missing any important information, they had to read everything thoroughly… After two full days of reading, the previously enthusiastic Ye Sheng was completely drained.
She felt like circles of text were dancing hand in hand before her eyes. She collapsed onto Gu Luoyu, muttering, “Enough, enough!”
Seeing this, Gu Luoyu couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, knowing that Ye Sheng had held on quite well until now.
But these documents were enough; any more would be unnecessary.
After all, they were just bait to lure them in, not some benevolent act of spoon-feeding. The rest could be left for the base authorities to handle!
Later, Gu Luoyu personally placed the folders on the desk of the base's highest commander.
As for the follow-up, she didn't pay much attention. Instead, she reflected on how much stronger she had become compared to before.
It was a significant improvement.
Like the other espers guarding the commander's safety, they hadn't even noticed Gu Luoyu's arrival.
Gu Luoyu had no intention of escalating the situation, so she didn't harm anyone. After leaving the documents, she went to provoke the esper guards. When the fight broke out, it was completely one-sided.
In the end, Gu Luoyu, who had easily won, smiled slightly. She didn't linger but left directly… However, her rapid growth in strength, achieved through unorthodox means, left her with some lingering concerns.
In the past, she would have eagerly pursued rapid growth, regardless of the dangers.
But now, with a partner, she values her life greatly.
Therefore, Gu Luoyu immediately decided to stop devouring the hearts of contaminated creatures until her abilities stabilized, and then she would consider whether to continue.
After completing all this, the new team mission was about to begin, protecting miners safely extracting resources deep in the wilderness.
