The orb emitted a blue glow, hidden within the flesh, very inconspicuous.
Liang Yuan’s heart stirred slightly, and he immediately stepped forward, cautiously using an aluminum alloy rod to pick it out.
The orb rolled a circle on the ground, making a crisp tinkling sound.
It sounded like a glass bead.
Liang Yuan stepped forward, put on gloves, and picked it up.
There were still chunks of flesh and blood vessels connected to it, making it look like it was growing in the flesh.
Liang Yuan took out a bottle of water and rinsed it off.
As the water washed over it, he realized that the orb was not actually blue but emitted a faint green glow.
The blue halo from earlier was due to the blue brain matter that had stained it.
Liang Yuan picked up the greenish orb and examined it carefully.
Indeed, the orb was like a glass bead, crystal clear and green, with fine patterns covering its surface.
Liang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat at the sight.
The patterns on the orb were similar to those on the Turtle Shell he had accidentally obtained.
The Turtle Shell also bore mysterious runes that could imbue spiritual power with defensive properties.
He suddenly felt interested and thought of the Big-headed Monster’s superpower, making an immediate guess.
"Could this orb be the skill that allows her to invade an enemy’s brain and control their nervous system?"
Thinking of this, Liang Yuan quickly pressed the orb to his forehead and infused his spiritual power into it.
Instantly, a strange sensation surged in his mind.
His spiritual power spread along the orb’s patterns, branching out like a neural network.
Unfortunately, there was nothing at the moment for him to experiment with.
"I’ll find a mutated creature to test it on later."
He was excited as he put the orb away.
He then thought about the shattered Turtle Shell and felt a bit regretful.
"It’s a pity about that Turtle Shell. I hadn’t mastered the runes on it before it broke."
"But it’s fine, I’ve memorized the rune and can manage to control my spiritual power to draw it, though it’s unstable."
"More practice is needed; it might be related to the strength of my spiritual power."
"I’ll try again later. My spiritual power is close to breaking through 30 points; maybe then I’ll be able to draw the Turtle Shell Rune."
Liang Yuan thought to himself, then quickly began searching the 28th floor.
This floor was an arcade, with mostly snacks as food.
But he didn’t overlook the arcade machines; he took them all.
If he set up his own base, he couldn’t spend all day fishing and farming; they’d need some entertainment.
He’d bring all these arcade machines intact to the base for people’s recreation and relaxation.
Otherwise, if everyone just made babies when it got dark, it would be so boring.
Liang Yuan thought about this as he cleared out the 28th floor.
Then he went upstairs; the 29th floor was also hardly visited.
The items here had been searched, but it was clear that Yang Xue, the Big-headed Monster, had lived here before mutating.
After Yang Xue’s mutation, few dared to come down to the 28th and 29th floors.
So there were still quite a lot of supplies on the 29th floor.
But this floor was mostly furniture like bed sets and mattresses, not much food.
Liang Yuan took everything he could get.
Many of the bed sets were still sealed and new.
Before industrial recovery, these were valuable, hard to find otherwise.
He continued scavenging as he ascended.
Though food was hard to find, there were still plenty of non-edible items.
Such as electronic devices from cellphone stores, computer stores, etc.
These items were useless to others, but valuable to Liang Yuan because his team had Dong Jie, who could generate power, and a generator. They could even use mutated sunflowers for solar energy.
So these electronics were useful to him.
Liang Yuan took everything.
All in all, this expedition to Henglong Building yielded substantial supplies.
Aside from the scarce food, he found many useful items.
If he had to rely on points for these items, it would be difficult to gather them all and cost many points.
He was currently eager to enhance his attributes and had no spare points for these items.
This trip saved him a lot of points.
Upon reaching the 35th floor, the entertainment hall of Henglong Hotel was a mess.
Many survivors had gathered around Shi Haizhu, Gu Feng, and Liu Feifei.
Liang Yuan’s expression changed slightly as he walked over.
He heard what they were saying.
"Boss Shi, we were forced by Wang Weidong and his men, we didn’t do anything heinous."
"Yes, Boss Shi, it was the security team who did the bad things, we were bullied by them."
"Boss Shi, I report Liu Haoming. This bastard, along with some security team members, bullied the owner of the Korean Hot Pot Restaurant, Li Xiaomei, who was killed by them."
"You’re talking nonsense, Wang Dapeng, don’t slander me, I never bullied Li Xiaomei, it was Wang Weidong and his gang, not me."
The entertainment hall was in an uproar, with these ordinary people witnessing the fall of Wang Weidong’s gang.
