In fact, Yao Xi can kill the beetle by himself. Although his defense is strong enough, it is several grades worse than the tyrant Cyclops. However, there is no need for Yaoxi to show its edge too much, as it will not live long in the last days.

After the meeting, Chen Jiang apologetically left Yaoxi behind.

"Our ammunition will soon run out, otherwise one armour piercing bullet can solve the battle. Moreover, the power resources will be exhausted in half a month at most. Our situation is not optimistic."

"I know!" Yao Xi nodded. The first energy Rune was not exchanged in Yuzhou City. At least two months later, the last military restored power.

"Commander, a few days ago I exchanged a very strange rune. This Rune has no attack or defense effect. But it contains very pure and broken energy. I was thinking that if we extract the energy from this pure rune, maybe we can really find a new energy source instead of electricity."

Yao Xi didn't dare to say more about this. Just as Chen Jiang's expression gradually became lively, Yao Xi knew that he was enlightened. With the energy rune, is a simple extractor still a problem.

"Where's the rune? Can I have a look?" Chen Jiang asked anxiously.

"OK!" Yao Xi directly took out the energy runes that were prepared to be used for household use. As a professional, Chen Jiang can naturally feel the surging energy in the runes.

After a while, whether Yao Xi is willing or not, Chen Jiang directly pulls Yao Xi into a very hidden independent laboratory. Because of Chen Jiang, the guards at the gate did not stop him.

"The gatekeepers are all professionals. It's not easy here!"

There was only one old man in the laboratory. The old man was drawing on a piece of paper marked with various symbols. He never noticed the arrival of Chen Jiang and Yao Xi.

"Wenlao."

As soon as Chen Jiang's voice rang, the old man threw the pen in his hand and said angrily, "what's the name? Don't you know that my time is limited? What can't be done until the power is exhausted. I have nothing to do."

Seeing that the old man was angry, Chen Jiang hurriedly asked Yao Xi to pass the rune. Yao Xi knew that the old man was not a professional, but when he saw the rune, his eyes suddenly widened.

"This is a new rune!" The old man was just stunned. He quickly turned around and searched in the laboratory. After a while, he took out a code scanner and scanned the rune continuously.

"Good stable energy. The structure is completely different from the previous runes. If this energy is extracted and rearranged, it may be used as driving energy."

"I'll go. It's so strong."

Now it was Yao Xi's turn to be surprised. The old man could guess the effect of the rune with only one glance. What is this not genius?

"Boy, put the rune on the resolver."

The old man pulled an instrument, and after a messy operation, a laser hit the rune. Yao Xi can't understand what this is about. But in this laboratory, Yaoxi saw something else.

In the innermost part of the laboratory, three colored runes are suspended in an area separated by transparent walls. This kind of Rune has never been seen in Yaoxi, but you can know from the look of its height that it is absolutely not simple.

"It's a composite rune, which is composed of two runes. However, the current state is not stable enough. The purpose of the experiment is to enable non professionals to use them."

"Rune weapon?" Yao Xi was completely shocked. The man who integrated Rune into ordnance and developed Rune equipment was just like this.

"Don't you think my rune is stable enough? Can't you directly use it to connect two runes to achieve energy conversion?" Yao Xi naturally said that, after all, in terms of the popularity of Rune weapons, it is difficult for him to know.

"Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Yao. Wen is always the authority of studying runes. No one in the whole security zone knows runes better than him." Chen Jiangsheng was afraid that Yaoxi would cause old Wen's dissatisfaction and hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Yes! I didn't think of it."

Wen Lao ignored them and hurried to the side to open the computer and began to toss things that Yao Xi could not understand.

Yao Xi and Chen Jiang were staring at it. About an hour later, old man Wen came over with an excited face.

"Boy, you are also a scientific researcher. How about being my deputy?" After looking up and down Yaoxi, the old general Wen invited him directly.

"It's not necessary. I'll just talk about it." Yao Xi said awkwardly.

"Say it casually? If you don't know enough about runes, you can't use stable media to convert energy. At least Chen Jiang can't do it." Old man Wen gave Chen Jiang a rude look, and the latter could only say yes with a smiling face.

Wen Lao's experiment was not successful, but he gained a lot from the experiment for more than an hour. Perhaps he was in a good mood. Old Wen also talked to Yao Xi about his understanding of the runes and the golden pillars.

"Rune exchange rules?"

"Yes, every Rune exchange has its own rules. At present, I have studied more than 30 kinds of runes."

Yao Xi spent almost a whole day in Wen Lao's laboratory. It has to be said that Wen is always a great man. Although he is not a professional, he has developed enough things to create countless strong people.

Yaoxi is like a dry sponge, absorbing all kinds of knowledge frantically, especially the exchange of runes. Many runes with special functions have not even been heard of by Yaoxi, but wenlao has studied them. Yao Xi immediately decided that he would be the deputy. At least before Yuzhou City fell, he would squeeze the contents of old Wen's head.

When Yao Xi left the laboratory, he had a special pass in his arms. With this pass, he could freely enter and exit all the research rooms of the base.

For a few days in a row, Yaoxi stayed in wenlao's laboratory in addition to hunting in the wasteland. With the continuous enrichment of professional knowledge, Yaoxi can also put forward some constructive suggestions to wenlao in combination with the memories of the previous life, which also makes wenlao feel sorry for meeting too late.

This kind of learning is not Yao Xi's strong point either in the previous life or in this life. Fortunately, Yao Xi is endowed with enough wisdom by his career. In the memory of a fierce meal, Yao Xi is gradually becoming a qualified deputy.

It was only when night fell that Yao Xi left the laboratory with his drowsy head.

Since Yao Xi returned from the second security zone seriously injured, Yao Xi will stay in the base most of the time. Lu Wenzhi also joined the army at Yao Xi's suggestion and became a member of the Lin Fei team. However, Yao Xi stubbornly refused the invitation of the military and only became an external combat researcher.
