I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart - Chapter 216

Chapter 216: Short-Term Infinite Energy

The Spirit Energy Revival and foreign species not only spurred human beings to become martial artists, but it also resulted in the development of national technology. In addition, some strange materials could be used as resources, and humans took a huge leap in the manufacturing industry as a result.

The battery that stored electricity had benefited from this. In just over a decade, the battery had been updated several times. Right now, the battery was able to store a large amount of energy. Most of the vehicles running on the road were electricity-operated, and a battery pack could be used for several days.

The battery that Lin Yao had bought was for military use. Although he was short of money and had been thinking about it all the time, for the sake of safety, he had not been stingy when buying this battery. He had spent more than one million yuan.

It was expensive, but the effect was naturally good.

According to its description, this could even be used as a backup power source for a small military camp, supplying the base so it could operate for several hours.

Lin Yao thought of what he had seen when he’d bought the storage battery and opened a socket on the battery-carrying case and inserted his hand directly into it to absorb the power of the battery.

Psst.

As the electricity flowed into the body, the electricity consumed by Lin Yao was replenished within a short time.

Then, Lin Yao quickly put on the Electric Current Stimulation Combat Suit and packed the battery-carrying case in his backpack.

He revealed his powerful strategy. The backpack could be carried around, and he directly carried the backpack with the storage battery on his back. He pulled two wires out of the battery case and put them in front of him.

This way, he could charge at any time, even during a battle.

‘Now, my power reserve is akin to a gold warlord’s.

‘Although there will not be an infinite energy supply, I can use it at will for three to five hours!’

Good weapons and equipment could greatly improve human combat power, and it was even possible to double it. The large-capacity storage battery was undoubtedly a divine weapon for Lin Yao.

At the same time, Lin Yao had brought some other electricity storage devices. The energy storage crystals made of thunder beast crystals were redeemed using the gold resource exchange qualification and were also hung on the Electric Current Stimulation Combat Suit. There was also a lot of electricity stored in his Thunderbolt Mark.

‘It’s safe.’

Although there was left-right reversal here, the large amount of energy that could be absorbed gave him a sense of security at last.

As others lent him a helping hand, it did not take long for Lin Yao to make these preparations.

When everything was done, there was no movement outside.

Lin Yao turned to look at Police Officer Yang Zheng and the two soldiers, wanting to ask them what to do next.

“What should we do next?”

“Just wait.”

“That simple?”

“Yes, it’s that simple.”

Seeing that Lin Yao looked doubtful, Police Officer Yang Zheng explained to Lin Yao with some pride, “The entire Shanghai has been expanded several times. There are 130 million people living here now. Such a large number is a fatal attraction for evil. A lot of evil will wander in the wild to reach Shanghai every day. As there are too many people in Shanghai, the government can’t take care of everyone. Among the 130 million people here, some will feel wronged, and some will be jealous. Some people will harbor resentment, and some will even become anti-social. These people produce countless negative emotions every day. These negative emotions can easily give rise to evil spirits. It can be said that new evil spirits are born every day.

“A large number of evil spirits attack from the outside, and evil spirits are formed inside every day. However, despite this external and internal trouble, Shanghai is still the safest city in the world. Do you know why?”

Upon seeing Yang Zheng’s proud expression, Lin Yao’s mind was jolted, and he had an idea.

“Has the police been eliminating the evil spirits?”

“Ahem, it’s due to the combined effort of the military and the police force. The military is stationed outside to clean up the wandering evil spirits, while the police guard the city. There are one million police officers in Shanghai. We have the best-armed police force here. Any evil spirit can only cause temporary chaos, they could not overthrow the city. Therefore, we just have to wait, and someone will come to deal with the freaks right away.”

Yang Zheng was proud of the department that he was in and wanted Lin Yao to be stationed in the room.

Lin Yao was left completely speechless when he heard about the one million police officers in Shanghai. He remembered that there had been only about 1.8 million police officers in his own country in the previous world. In this world, Shanghai alone had one million police officers, and all of them were armed policemen. They were not civil policemen, who were in charge of handling people’s disputes.

This was strong support, so Lin Yao nodded, not saying anything.

However, not long after he was stationed in the room, Lin Yao felt movement coming from downstairs.

It was not the sound of someone hitting the door but the sound of someone fighting and shouting.

Seeing that Lin Yao was about to move, Police Officer Yang Zheng stopped him right away.

“Don’t be impulsive. The evil spirits are mysterious. This is probably their trap.”

Lin Yao shook his head at his words. “The people downstairs are human beings. They are people sent by the country to protect me, but I don’t know if there are soldiers or armed policemen.”

“What?!”

Upon hearing that they were colleagues of theirs, Yang Zheng and the other two soldiers were stunned.

“Are you sure?”

“The probability is more than 90%.”

Lin Yao was quite proud of his perception ability. He could distinguish between good and evil. The evil spirits might be able to prevent Lin Yao from using the space, but it was difficult to deceive him. Even if the evil spirits changed their appearance and lured him, they could not conceal their malice.

The 90% probability was akin to a positive answer. After learning that their comrades-in-arms were downstairs, they became very anxious. The two soldiers and Police Officer Yang Zheng clenched their fists in anger. However, except for Lin Ru, no one mentioned anything about going to rescue them.

With Agile Mind, Lin Yao quickly understood the reason they made this choice. ‘Are they worried about my safety? The country attaches great importance to geniuses who have not developed… and there is also the fact that I am underage. If I was an adult who had graduated, instead of protecting me, they’d recruit me.’

Upon thinking about this, Lin Yao took the initiative and said, “Let’s go. Let’s go down to help them.”

When they heard these words, the three of them looked at Lin Yao with gratitude. Then, they still tried to persuade him.

“There’s no need to, you are still young. It is not your duty to save lives.”

“Why not? Everyone is responsible for the prosperity of the country.”

After speaking, Lin Yao took the lead and walked toward the stairs on the side, and the others naturally followed Lin Yao. While making their way downstairs, Yang Zheng and the two captains looked at each other, and they all noted that they now viewed Lin Yao in a different light.

“Student Lin Yao has a righteous heart.”

“Although he is lustful, it’s normal for a young man to be interested in the opposite gender. As long as he is not forcing people or using his power against them, they’re free to do as they please… We can try to recruit him.”

This would wait until a later time. Right now, they were more concerned about saving lives.

Although the elevator could still operate, no one present proposed to use it.

However, when going down the stairs, they suffered due to the left-right space reversal.

Lin Yao and the others might have fallen if they were walking on flat ground, let alone on the stairs, where it was extremely difficult for them to go down one step at a time. The four silver warlords from the military and the policemen could barely control themselves, while Qin Xue, Yan Yu’er, Yin Yin, and Yin Meng ended up rolling down the stairs.

Fortunately, they had the physique of a martial artist and hence were only slightly embarrassed but not injured.

However, it was not a trap like falling down the stairs that threatened Lin Yao and the rest. It was the freaks that were a threat to them.

The evil spirits seemed to know that it was inconvenient for them to go downstairs, and many of them were waiting around the corner to launch sneak attacks.

When Qin Xue and the others fell down, the servant corpses rushed over with a glint in their eyes.

“Scoundrel!”

While watching this scene, Police Officer Yang Zheng was furious and was about to jump down to protect the girls.

However, before he could jump down, the crackling sound of thunder and lightning resounded all over the place, and electric lights appeared on the heads of the freaks and were razed to the ground.

The roar of thunder and lightning kept ringing. Heavenly Thunder eliminated the evil spirits and the ghosts and charms of this place soon disappeared. The weird aura had also dissipated.

Everyone felt heartened thanks to Lin Yao’s might. However, middle-aged Police Officer Yang Zheng quickly said, “Don’t go all out. Preserve your strength. This mirror freak is evil, and we may have to wait two or three hours to be rescued.”

He was imparting his years of experience to Lin Yao. This was how elite warlords dealt with evil spirits.

However, elite warlords were different from super-geniuses.

Police Officer Yang Zheng was dishing out advice, but as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yao did not listen to him. Instead, a stronger wave of power surged from him, surprising the police officer.

“Don’t waste your energy!”

“I am not wasting my energy. I have found a way to deal with the disordered space. Let’s go. We don’t need to preserve our energy.”

The left-right space reversal also had a great impact on Lin Yao. Even if he did not engage in close-range attacks and only fought from a distance, the disordered space would still be an issue for Lin Yao.

In the past, if the enemy appeared in the front left, a thunderbolt would strike the enemy when Lin Yao’s mind was jolted. However, due to the disordered space, Lin Yao subconsciously used long-range attacks, and the lightning strike ended up on the front right.

After he twisted his body, Lin Yao’s sense of space would be completely messed up. Therefore, he had to calculate every time he released a lightning strike.

Unfortunately, distraction in battle was taboo, and calculations also took time. The time wasted was enough for the freaks to run away.

Fortunately, he had accelerated thinking. In this state, his arithmetic ability was greatly increased, and he could determine the correct attacking position instantaneously.

Although this ability was good, it was too taxing on the brain. If he used it for a long time, not only would his mental strength be exhausted, but he would be very tired as well.

This was why, after entering this place, Lin Yao did not dare go all out but focused on his defense.

When he descended the stairs, Lin Yao deactivated his accelerated thinking and almost rolled down the stairs like Qin Xue and the others. He felt angry at himself and entered his Sea of Consciousness to see if there was any talent that he could use to resist the disordered space.

Indeed, he found a solution. It was none other than the 3D image that had appeared after the advancement of electromagnetic induction.

This 3D image was a picture that he converted in his mind after receiving electromagnetic waves. This picture was centered around him and changed with every passing moment. At the same time, Lin Yao could also make the image zoom in and out of his Sea of Consciousness.

Lin Yao’s solution to the left-right reversal was very simple. He directly closed off his other senses and used the 3D picture of the actual size to perceive the outside world.

Right now, when he attacked the evil spirits, he no longer looked at their actual position but at the position of the layer.

The 3D picture presented in the Sea of Consciousness freed Lin Yao from the left-right reversal state of the disordered space. Without this to restrain him, Lin Yao completely let go of himself.

“Don’t resist.”

Following Lin Yao’s words, Police Officer Yang Zheng and the others felt a breeze blowing them upward.

“The power of the wind?”

They turned around, looking suspicious, and realized that Lin Yao had changed drastically. At present, there was a pair of tempest wings behind him. The wings flapped slightly, and the power of wind and thunder lingered around him, making him hover in the air like a god.

In addition to the wings, Lin Yao also had some magic patterns on his body. His aura had also changed from an intermediate warlord aura to a peak warlord aura.

The fusion of the feathered serpent spirit! The power of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning!

‘It’s time to wreak havoc.’
