Su Chen officially began his plan to upgrade his authority to level 8, which was difficult to achieve in a short period of time. So, he tried to build more Sub-bases to search for nearby mineral resources and accumulate energy.
It would be even better if he could find oil. In the game, Engineers could enter oil wells and provide players with a large amount of money.
Similarly, if Su Chen had an oil field, his energy would increase rapidly.
Unfortunately, there was no oil around Su Chen's several bases, and only a few large oil fields in the north, including one near Longxin City.
Even in the Apocalypse, oil fields were still an essential part as vehicles such as tanks and planes still needed them.
Although technology is developing, Energy Crystals have gradually become a new energy source, but it would still require some time for them to become popular.
Before that, oil fields were irreplaceable.
He first built two new Sub-bases. From the first and second Sub-bases, when these two Sub-bases were successfully established and had a certain degree of self-defense, he would let them build two more MCVs (Mobile Construction Vehicles) and continue to spread out. In this way, his bases could blossom everywhere, and it would not take too long before he could trade weapons directly with five level 1 Base Cities.
Although level 1 Base Cities were not good enough, some nearby Base Cities had already begun to buy weapons from his bases. Su Chen naturally accepted them as these were all sources of Energy Crystals.
At this time, Su Chen heard the alarm: "Enemy intercepting the third MCV, about to engage in battle."
Su Chen immediately opened the satellite interface and zoomed in on the third MCV. If he remembered correctly, the third MCV was the one fused with the Lizard Dragon core and sent to a faraway place by him.
He saw the MCV team passing through an abandoned town and encountering a Mutant attack.
Due to the influence of the Bloodline Wisdom Pearl, almost every Mutant gathering point had Mutants with intelligence. Their intelligence had increased sharply, and when they saw the MCV team, they even thought of robbing them!
Tens of thousands of Mutants surrounded Su Chen's team, making them look like lambs to be slaughtered.
Most of the team were ground troops, more than enough to deal with these Mutant Beasts. The Lizard Dragon just took a glance and went back to sleep.
These trash couldn't affect them at all. Other Red Alert Soldiers took out their weapons and aimed at the Mutants around them, while the cannons on the Tanks adjusted their angles, ready to show the Mutants the power of the Tanks.
The Mutants had no idea what these iron sticks were. Although they had gained intelligence, they were still incomparable to humans. What they wanted was human flesh!
Yes, these Mutants wanted to eat meat.
A person who looked like a Mutant leader walked out and said something in a language that Red Alert Soldiers had never learned. They couldn't understand him at all.
The noise from the Mutants annoyed the Lizard Dragon, who stood up from the top of the Tank, looking unhappy at the Mutants.
The voice was like thunder, spreading around and startling the nearby Mutants.
The Mutants with intelligence were a little better, but those without intelligence acted purely on instinct. They felt that the owner of this voice was very powerful and they were no match for him, so they wanted to escape.
It's unclear what the Mutant leader said, but those Mutants stopped retreating and instead rushed forward. It seemed that the Mutant leader wanted to end the fight quickly.
"I haven't eaten Mutants in a long time. Today, I'll feast." Lizard Dragon sneered and warned the Red Alert soldiers not to move. He jumped into the air.
The next second, a tall figure appeared in front of all the Red Alert soldiers, it was Lizard Dragon's true form!
Lizard Dragon personally took action, opening his mouth and devouring dozens of Mutants.
For Lizard Dragon, an eighth-order Mutant Beast, Mutants were like humans, a source of nutrition.
It's just that the Mutants were too weak before, so he didn't care. But now, seeing that the Mutants' strength was quite good, he just swallowed them whole.
Crunchy and tasting like chicken.
Lizard Dragon was satisfied, but the intelligent Mutants were stunned.
They thought they found an easy target, but instead kicked a steel plate. How could they fight back now?
Without hesitation, the intelligent Mutants ran away, leaving the non-intelligent Mutants behind. As long as they could survive, they didn't care how many cannon fodder Mutants died.
Lizard Dragon, of course, wouldn't let these delicacies escape. He expanded his defensive force field and surrounded all the Mutants. Now, the scene had changed to Lizard Dragon surrounding all the Mutants.
The Mutants regretted and pleaded for mercy, but Lizard Dragon couldn't understand them and continued to feast.
In less than an hour, all the Mutants were in Lizard Dragon's belly. Lizard Dragon was satisfied, he hadn't had such a good meal in a long time.
Eating humans was too difficult, as any action would surely be discovered by humans. As for Mutant Beasts, they couldn't be eaten casually either. Although Lizard Dragon was a solitary creature, eating too many Mutant Beasts would anger the older generations of eight-order Mutant Beasts, and that would be unlucky.
The last option was Mutants. Lizard Dragon didn't care about them before, as they would give him an upset stomach. But this time, he found that they tasted good.
Lizard Dragon felt as if he had opened the door to a new world. Su Chen was his master and it was almost impossible for him to eat humans, but Mutants weren't humans. He could eat them at will.
Even Lizard Dragon knew that there were a lot of Mutants in the world, even more than humans. If he only ate Mutants, he could eat for many years.
With this in mind, Lizard Dragon led the team to continue forward, eating at every Mutant gathering point they encountered.
If it weren't for Su Chen's team bringing the fake Rift Generator, Lizard Dragon would have been exposed the moment he returned to his true form.
The Mutants that Lizard Dragon encountered later were unlucky, all became Lizard Dragon's food. What made Su Chen speechless was that Lizard Dragon even upgraded as he ate.
Originally an eighth-order early-term Lizard Dragon, he became an eighth-order mid-term just by eating.
"Anyway, Mutants are a waste of air and land. Let's just use them as waste. Wait, what's that?"
At this moment, Su Chen suddenly saw a black dot appear not far from Lizard Dragon's team.
He was sure that there was no black dot there before. Where did this thing come from?
