Chapter 3357: The Strongest Scapegoating in History

Su Xiao stared at the test tube on the metal table. The boiling red solution inside cooled rapidly, first turning purple, then, as if it had rotted, quickly turned black and became waste liquid.

Failed again. Su Xiao had tried many times to remove the suppressant from the 【Cataclysm Solution】. The two were combined too closely, as if they had already merged into one.

To replicate 【Cataclysm Solution】, one must first purify it and exclude the suppressant. Otherwise, with the suppressant mixed in, even if the 【Cataclysm Solution】 was analyzed, it would be useless. What was formulated would only be 【Cataclysm Solution Type V】, not 100% pure 【Cataclysm Solution】.

Su Xiao really wanted to know what the composition of this suppressant was, why it was so unsolvable, and even with his current alchemy level, he felt it was very tricky.

After pondering for a moment, Su Xiao picked up a beetle from the experimental box and threw it into the black waste liquid, preparing to see what changes would occur after this suppressant came into contact with normal organisms.

Just after throwing the beetle into the black waste liquid, the beetle began to struggle violently. In just a few seconds, the beetle died and sank to the bottom.

Su Xiao observed for a while and didn't find any too special changes. He used tweezers to throw its beetle legs into a waste slot on the side.

*Clang~*

A crisp sound entered Su Xiao's ears, which made him feel a bit surprised in his heart. Just now he had perceived that the beetle was just dead, but hearing this crisp sound, it was as if a small iron lump had been thrown into the waste slot.

Su Xiao clamped the beetle out of the waste slot and perceived it again. No abnormality. This was still a beetle, all biological structures, but it had become metalized.

*Click* of a sound, half of the beetle's body shattered, and the remaining half was close to metal hardness. This was cell metalization, which was a characteristic of the Kindred.

Su Xiao observed the remaining half-metalized beetle. No matter how he perceived it, this thing was still all biological structure, but it was just metalized.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao thought of what the Kindred used as a suppressant, thereby suppressing the effect of 【Cataclysm Solution】.

Initially, this world had a "Black Rain," which led to mechanical pollution. The thing the Kindred used as a suppressant should be diluted "Black Rain."

Previously, Su Xiao was still puzzled why the suppressant the Kindred made was so difficult to peel off. Now it seemed that of course it was difficult to peel off. "Black Rain" was one of the peak creations of the Second Era Alchemy Civilization. Even if diluted many times, it was still a tough bone to chew.

Knowing what it was, it was easy to handle. Su Xiao took more than a dozen beetles and threw them all into the diluted 【Cataclysm Solution】.

Before long, these dozen beetles died one after another, all with parts of their bodies metalized. Su Xiao fished them out and measured the remaining solution. The suppressant inside had disappeared. The remaining formulation encryption method, in Su Xiao's view, was not difficult.

10 minutes later, Su Xiao put down the pen in his hand. The original formula of 【Cataclysm Solution】 had been deciphered. He believed that several of these dozen materials would be strictly controlled by the Kindred Alliance. This was not important. Finding substitutes was what Su Xiao was best at.

He took out the communicator to contact Caesar. After connecting, Caesar's side was very noisy. He could hear the shouting and cheering of the audience, as well as the roaring sound. Learning that it was about alchemy, Caesar immediately hung up the contact.

An hour later, in the alchemy laboratory of the base camp fortress, Caesar pushed the door and entered. In terms of alchemy, Caesar invested huge enthusiasm, but his talent in this aspect was even more eye-stinging than after he took off his shoes.

Through Caesar as an intermediary, Su Xiao remotely contacted a merchant. These guys dared to sell anything and often collected items from hunters and scavengers all year round, with a wide source of goods.

After cautious probing, Su Xiao gradually understood the market for materials. The Kindred didn't ban the sale of all materials needed for 【Cataclysm Solution】, but two main materials were strictly prohibited. Even for merchants walking in the gray area, if they dared to sell today, their whole family would die tomorrow.

Su Xiao didn't buy all the things from one merchant. He first reserved life-aggregating substances, ionized flesh, soul blood of mechanically polluted organisms, and several other materials he didn't need with 16 units of active ore, and then let Caesar help contact other merchants through channels.

At 11:00 PM that night, with the efficiency of Caesar's handling of things after receiving money, all the materials Su Xiao needed were placed on the test bench in front of him. Processing materials -> formulation -> potion cooling -> final product, the whole process was done in one go, making Caesar look envious and grinning.

Su Xiao had mastered alchemy for so long. If he still stumbled when formulating 100% pure 【Cataclysm Solution】 after deciphering the formula, then he should stop studying alchemy.

【Prompt: You have obtained Cataclysm Solution.】

【Cataclysm Solution】

Origin: Ser Star · To-be-determined Pharmacist (Pharmacist name, Hunter can formulate it himself).

Quality: Special (This potion has a special use, no need to fix its quality).

Type: Permanent Buff Potion

Effect: After injecting this potion into the core of a mobile fortress, it can break through the limit. Afterward, it only needs to absorb active ore/active energy to advance the fortress tier (can be advanced up to T0-tier fortress).

Introduction: To be determined (Hunter can formulate freely)

Price: To be determined (Hunter can formulate freely)

Su Xiao looked at the two bottles of 【Cataclysm Solution】 successfully formulated and threw one bottle to Caesar. When buying materials, Caesar also contributed funds, which was what the other party deserved.

"My dear friend, Caesar has already made contact with the Tribunal side."

When Caesar said this, he was full of smiles. He could feel that a huge amount of wealth was beckoning to him.

"How is Li Xiniwei developing now?"

"Not bad."

Caesar didn't say much, obviously not interfering too much there. After all, Li Xiniwei was the person Su Xiao inserted into the Tribunal.

Caesar made contact with the Tribunal. One could know without thinking that it was through Li Xiniwei's line.

The plan there could begin. Su Xiao first wanted to get a large batch of second-hand weapons retired from the Kindred military through there. Kindred soldiers used cold weapons + firearms. Generally, firearms solved the problem. The enemies that were difficult to deal with were cold weapons + metal-type supernatural abilities.

What Su Xiao had his eyes on were the second-hand cold weapons retired from the Kindred military. Cheap, large quantity, and ready to use immediately.

"Caesar, do you think Li Xiniwei can get access to heavy-artillery-grade weapons, even retired ones?"

"This..."

Caesar hesitated a bit. Going to get heavy-artillery-grade weapons, even for him, felt a bit difficult to handle. If Li Xiniwei knew Su Xiao's idea and that this matter was to be handled by him, Li Xiniwei would definitely suffer from insomnia for several days.

"Shall I try with Li Xiniwei?"

Caesar's tone was still hesitant.

"Hmm, go try."

Su Xiao threw a collection gold coin to Caesar. Caesar didn't hesitate this time, greeted Su Xiao, and left the fortress.

Su Xiao took out the fortress core that looked like a pocket watch and opened it, seeing the bright red flesh beating like a heart inside. As long as 100% pure 【Cataclysm Solution】 was injected into it, the subsequent advancement of the Doomsday Fortress would not be a big problem. Paying active ore would be enough.

Su Xiao stuck the glass tube containing 【Cataclysm Solution】 into the injection gun and injected it into the fortress core. There was no change. A few seconds later, the fortress under his feet shook first, and the entire fortress seemed to come alive completely, and the internal structure changed rapidly.

A few minutes later, the changes in the fortress subsided. This was still a T4-tier fortress. Su Xiao checked the fortress data.

Name: Doomsday Fortress (Living).

Tier: T4-tier (Fortress is T0~T5 tier).

Total Population: 7322 people.

Active Energy Reserve: 5780 points (can be converted into 5780 kg of active ore).

Active Energy Required for Advancement: 5000 points.

No need to get 【Cataclysm Solution】 of various types anymore. The current Doomsday Fortress only needed enough active energy, and the improvement would be smooth and unimpeded.

Su Xiao immediately chose to consume 5000 points of active energy to advance the Doomsday Fortress to T3 tier. Just as he made the choice, flesh tentacles grew on the fortress core in his hand and merged into the fortress walls.

Advancing to T3 tier required a certain amount of time. Su Xiao walked out of the command room quickly and came to the second floor of the fortress. No Pig-Headed Men lived here; these were all organs or metal instruments connected to the fortress itself.

Arriving at the second floor, Su Xiao stopped in front of a wall made of black flesh. He took out a cold storage box from the storage space. After opening it, three rows of injection guns were displayed inside, and cold mist drifted.

Su Xiao pondered for a moment and took out two of them, one was the gene of the Zerg Nest Evolution Chamber, and the other was the "Instinct" gene fragment of the Demon Beast.

Because Su Xiao took out these two injection guns, the black wall in front of him dented inward. As a living thing, the Doomsday Fortress felt the aura and intention of the Zerg devouring everything to evolve.

Su Xiao injected both injection guns into the black flesh wall in front at the same time and injected them. After doing all this, he perceived the changes in the fortress at all times, ready to rescue the fortress at any time to avoid the fortress dying.

After Su Xiao perceived for a few minutes, he found that the biological fluctuations of the Doomsday Fortress continued to weaken. He signaled Amu, who had been prepared for a long time, to act.

Amu held an injection gun nearly half a meter thick, aimed at the fortress wall, and gave it a shot, then injected it. Behind its back, it carried eight such oversized metal injection guns.

A dull wail came from around. Hearing this sound, Su Xiao felt a bit surprised. The fortress could still cry? He really hadn't heard of it before.

Su Xiao's preparation was correct. Under the Zerg genes and Demon Beast gene fragments, the Doomsday Fortress hovered between half-dead and sudden death. If it weren't for Su Xiao, who was an alchemist, rescuing it, this fortress would definitely have withered and turned into a pile of waste metal and rotten flesh.

Su Xiao was busy until 6:00 AM. The situation of the Doomsday Fortress finally stabilized. It was already evolving toward T3 tier. Injecting Zerg genes at this stage was the best time.

【Doomsday Fortress has evolved to T3-tier fortress.】

【Warning (Void Tree): Gene fragment group of foreign war species has been detected!】

【Gene fragment group source: Demon Zerg.】
