Chapter 16: Switch

As the saying goes, "I'm born again, I'm acquainted again, but that's all...

After successfully firing the first shot, he sought the opinions of Daris and others. Zhang Shen, who was in high spirits, began to refine food extensively.

As mentioned above, the difficulty of alchemy never lies in its size. After familiarizing with the process, Zhang Shen began to refine it in large quantities, allowing the guards on the side to fill the entire refining array at one time, leaving only a gap for him to stand.

The successful refining of the "red brick" seemed to open a door in Zhang Shen's mind. Then, various strange ideas poured out from it, making him very excited at this moment and his eyes shining.

"Who said that the grain rice must have shells?! Who said that apples and pears must grow into spherical shapes?! Who said that walnuts must have a thick shell and cannot be directly a ball of walnut meat?!………………”

Unexplained wonderful ideas completely submerged Zhang Shen like a spring. At this point, the shackles of the "common sense" that restricted his alchemy's development had quietly collapsed and dissipated, allowing him to go wider and wider in the future.

To see through the constraints of the body and point directly to the essence!

This is another bottleneck on the road of alchemy. After passing through, Zhang Shen will become more fulfilling in his future refining, as if he only knows the difference between a robot who imitates and a real person.

To put it more literary, he has reached the superb level of "seeing mountains are not mountains, and seeing water is not water".

After consulting the excited Daris and others, the "bricks" with similar shapes were freshly released.

White "rice bricks", brown and yellow "wheat bricks", reddish-brown "sorghum bricks", light yellow "sweet potato bricks"...

The "bricks" weighing comparable to bluestone were carefully transported to specially opened warehouses for storage by a group of guards, while the other group of guards moved the small plant hills and buckets of clear water into the formation under the command of Zhang Shen.

Zhang Shen seemed to be crazy and fell into extreme fanaticism. He was like a scientist who had seen the new development of experiments, drowned by the deep desire for research, with only two words left in his eyes, and he could not see anything else.

Time passed by little by little. The sun, which was originally close to the center of the sky, gradually set to the west. Before we knew it, it was about to set. The golden afterglow penetrated the clouds and shone on this dead and chaotic city, bringing people a last touch of warmth.

"Your Excellency, the raw materials have been used up." The sweaty guard carefully reminded Zhang Shen to wake him up from that crazy state. He frowned and glanced around and found that the hills made of fresh plants had all disappeared, turning into pieces of grain "square bricks" in the warehouse at this moment.

If nothing unexpected happens, these foods are enough for millions of people to eat in the next week!!

A hint of regret appeared in his eyes: "It's just that..."

The guards immediately sweated, and a hint of "fear" could not help but reveal a hint of "fear" in their originally awe-inspiring and grateful eyes.

"Forget it, it's a bit late." Zhang Shen turned his eyes to the remaining hills made of dry or fresh reed bark and hills that were piled up from pots and pans, broken and rusted iron tools. The alchemist's heart was a little ready, but after looking at the sky, considering that Li Jing was still sleeping in the small building and Bu Lichen and Ouyang Tianqi who were still missing, Zhang Shen could only force himself to control himself from looking at the piles of raw materials mountains, and the refining work came to an end.

Daris and others' rationality had been "destroyed" by the grain in the warehouse, and they were almost in a daze all afternoon, but they were completely convinced of Zhang Shen. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the latter did not ask them to commit suicide or do something that touched their own bottom line, Zhang Shen would agree without hesitation!

Quietly, there is no need to use some tricks. Zhang Shen and others have already placed the country under their own "control" and can mobilize the manpower and material resources of the entire country to do some things.

After saying goodbye to Daris and others who had not closed their mouths for a long time, Zhang Shen walked back to the small building in the fading golden red sunset.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard a noise. The harsh noise made Zhang Shen frown.

When you walk into the hall, everyone except Li Jing is here.

Lan Fenghuang and four others sat in the main seat opposite the door of the hall. Li Ji was wrapped in a black robe and couldn't see his expression. Zihao's face was expressionless, Yi Chao looked bored, and Lan Fenghuang, who had the best temper, was a little impatient.

Below, a glance at the newcomers had already divided into small groups according to their respective rooms, and there was a slight gap between them. At this moment, the eyes of looking at others were filled with suspicion and malice.

And in the middle of them, a cold body was placed on the ground, which was a hunchbacked old man who was very concerned by Zhang Shen.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Shen frowned even more. He couldn't figure out that a newcomer would be lost in such a safe place. Could it be that the inside of the Hina area is not safe and there is still some unknown danger?

"Brother Zhang, you have to make the decision for us!" Before Zhang Shen finished speaking, two middle-aged men rushed up, grabbed Zhang Shen's sleeves from left to right, and there were a lot of them. The rich accent made Zhang Shen's eyebrows jump straight, but he didn't understand what they were saying.

"Shut up!" Zhang Shen shouted softly, and the sound waves containing powerful mental power filled the entire hall, and all the noise disappeared immediately.

"What happened?" Zhang Shen nodded to the man who was quite standard in Mandarin, "If I remember correctly, you two are roommates of that old man."

The man nodded quickly and then organized his words and told them in a casual manner.

Uh, in short, he was sleeping at the time and was awakened by a sudden scream. When he saw that it was another man, who had not fallen asleep and was in a trance state. At about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, he suddenly smelled some strange smell and woke up from his trance state. Then he was shocked to find that the hunchbacked old man was dead and died on the bed, and his eyes were raised, covered with bloodshots, and his death was extremely traumatic, making people feel cold on the spine...

Zhang Shen also noticed the appearance of the hunchbacked old man's body. He clenched his hands into fists, and his body was tense and about to rush out at any time. His eyes were seriously bulging and covered with blood, which was extremely strange. He seemed to have seen something horrible and terrifying. He was frightened and wanted to resist, but for some reason he suddenly died, forming such a strange and straitful situation.

After this person finished speaking, all the newcomers' eyes fell on Zhang Shen, hoping that the latter would give him an answer.

"Okay, I understand." Zhang Shen took a step forward and covered the old man with white cloth. "I will investigate this matter. From now on, you should be careful when traveling, don't be alone, so that the enemy can take advantage of the opportunity."

"The dead are gone, and I will let him be buried in peace."

Zhang Shen's very familiar official procrastination statement made Jiang Chaohui and others very dissatisfied, and his previous favorability for him suddenly disappeared.

"We have arrived in the Hina area. So, from now on, you have regained your freedom. Go wherever you want, and we won't care." Zhang Shen's eyes were like lightning, and he took everyone's subtle expressions into his eyes, smiled coldly in his heart, and said these words.

As soon as he finished speaking, he ignored everyone's wonderful expressions and reactions. Zhang Shen waved his sleeves and slapped out a talisman, put the hunchbacked old man's body in it, intending to burn it into ashes before burying it.

"Captain Lan, can you talk about it tomorrow morning?" When he stepped on the stairs, Zhang Shen suddenly remembered something and sent a message to Lan Fenghuang.

"Oh, Brother Zhang, have you finally remembered us?" Lan Fenghuang's teasing tone made Zhang Shen's head suddenly burst out, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to respond. Quietly, Lan Fenghuang, who appeared in front of Zhang Shen and others as a predecessor, had already regarded this place as an existence that could treat each other equally, and even vaguely reduced his status because of the special nature of this world, and felt like Zhang Shen was the leader.

"Hehe...this..." Zhang Shen smiled awkwardly, smiling bitterly.

"Okay, I won't joke with you. Speaking of which, we do have very important things to discuss with you." Lan Fenghuang seemed to remember something, and suddenly felt a little sad in her tone, "I can't say it, I'll ask you for help."

Back in Li Jing's sleeping room, Zhang Shen closed the door, turned around and stared at Li Ji, with a somewhat resentful tone: "Sister Li, although I don't know why you killed the hunchbacked old man, please pay attention to the time and place, don't do it at this time, and it's still in the room, you..."

Zhang Shen was so familiar with Li Jing's spiritual power attribute that he could not be familiar with. Although Li Ji's spiritual power was different from his younger sister, he also had similarities. Zhang Shen just glanced at the residual fluctuation frequency of the spiritual son left on the hunchbacked old man's body and knew that this matter was inseparable from Li Ji.

"Oh, don't you blame me for killing the newcomer without hesitation?" Li Ji's tone was quite interesting.

Zhang Shen shook his head: "I believe you won't be bloodthirsty. As for the reasons, he has no relatives and no reason, and everyone is dead, so what else can I pursue."

Li Ji rushed around his spiritual power, and the black hood fell down, revealing a broken white mask and a light green soft hair. Although she could not see her expression, Zhang Shen clearly felt the curiosity, praise, and a hint of excitement she showed.

Zhang Shen was a little curious, but he was not the kind of person who liked to dig into the bottom line, so he didn't care too much.

After a moment of silence, Li Ji's voice came out: "You, not bad."

Zhang Shen suddenly became embarrassed, looking confused.

Li Ji bent his mouth and explained the behavior of the hunchbacked old man he saw one by one.

Damn it!!!

Zhang Shen glared at his eyes, and the tragic evil aura soared into the sky, and the strong murderous intent was enough to make the elite soldiers faint instantly.

Haha, it seems that I underestimate this group of newcomers.

After a long time, Zhang Shen narrowed his eyes and withdrew his evil spirit, a cold flashed through his eyes.
