Chapter 157 - Chapter 157 Spirit Spring

Rubbing her hands together, Shen Muyu took out the compensation resource box she had received yesterday. This was the first time she had ever received a diamond box, and she was very much looking forward to it.

The box wasn't very heavy. Shen Muyu lifted it up to take a look. There seemed to be only two things inside, and when he shook it, they didn't move.

He took out the axe, but this time the usually invincible tool ran into a wall. Shen Muyu chopped hard several times before he managed to make a small nick. It seemed that if he encountered a higher-level resource box, he would have to rely on the matching key.

However, the drop rate of treasure chest keys is not very high. Shen Muyu has only opened about twenty keys in so many days, most of which are bronze and silver.

Gold and platinum keys are now being sold at exorbitant prices. Luckily, she has a diamond axe, otherwise she would have had to spend a fortune just to open a chest.

He handed the axe to Zhan Yi, whose strength far surpassed that of Shen Muyu. With a single, forceful strike, Zhan Yi easily chopped the lock off.

After muttering a few kind words, Shen Muyu opened the box, which contained only a small black box and a well-shaped object.

Note: A magical little well that never runs dry >

Seeing these two items, Shen Muyu nodded in satisfaction. She really liked this compensation, especially the spiritual spring, which had already transcended the realm of science. Nice.

Without rushing to retrieve it, Shen Muyu carried the object back to the dimensional space. At Wei Yi's suggestion, he placed the spiritual spring in front of the black soil behind the house, and installed the water supply system next to it.

The well where the spiritual spring was located was smaller than Shen Muyu had imagined. The well opening was only big enough to fit a small wooden bucket. If she jumped in, she might get stuck.

As for the water supply system, it manifested as a small wooden house, not the kind of water pipe that Shen Muyu had imagined extending from the top into the well, but rather extending directly from the bottom. That was fine too, at least it was much more aesthetically pleasing.

Inside the wooden house were several large, staggered tanks with multiple water outlets underneath. To bring water into the house and the ground, pipes would need to be laid, but that was something only Weiyi could do, since it was the only company that could do it at the moment.

After giving instructions to Wei Yi, Shen Muyu went to the platform in front of the cabin, where there was an extra section, and then took out two large tin boxes that she had specially made.

The box was full of water, which she had taken from the bathroom earlier. She planned to test whether what the researcher had said was true or false, and also to see if the transparent slime residue she had collected could turn the water into oil.

First, a 0.1 ml drop of the laboratory-extracted liquid was pipetted into the water. Almost instantly, the area around the drop turned into a dark brown liquid, which then slowly spread outwards.

The iron bucket contained about twenty liters of water. Shen Muyu dripped four drops before it completely turned into petroleum, just as the researcher had said.

I also tried the liquid that the slime itself turned into, and just one drop turned the entire bucket of water into oil.

No wonder she painstakingly typed this out bit by bit; truly, good things come in small packages.

This 20 liters was clearly not the limit of slime essence, so Shen Muyu made an even larger one, and finally the experiment showed that 0.1 milliliters could be converted into 50 liters of oil.

None of that is very important. The most important thing is that this backpack can be amplified. Although each slot can only amplify five milliliters, that is more than enough for Shen Muyu!

The only downside is that the oil can't be used directly; it has to be processed and refined. We'll have to see if we can get some equipment from a factory, but that doesn't seem very reliable. We also don't know if we can find a simplified oil refining system in the crate.

"Master, we've spotted a small county town ahead." After hearing the voice from the walkie-talkie, Shen Muyu packed up the large boxes used for experiments and returned to the car.

"Find a spacious place to put these people down," Shen Muyu said from the driver's seat. She had consumed too much energy liquid in the past two days and needed to replenish it quickly. A small county town was the best place.

Although there were zombies gathering, there were only tens of thousands at most. Due to the obstruction of various buildings and the clearing by survivors, the number was just enough for Shen Muyu to handle.

Moreover, she didn't intend to confront them head-on. She planned to use the people she brought back yesterday as bait, since the scent spray was most effective when used in groups of people, and wouldn't be very effective on its own.

If all else fails, you can always run away. The car engine has been enhanced by Shen Muyu using a strengthening turntable, resulting in significant improvements in power and stability. The car is now incredibly fast.
