Chapter 164: Speak Up, How to Get Infinite Power
"What?"
Those people from yesterday were only seriously injured, but not to the point of death.
Could it be that someone took advantage of the situation?
Did they go back and finish them off after we left?
But what's the point of finishing off a few men with no credits? It's not like they're good for eating!
Su Luo explained, "When we arrived, they were being devoured by tigers!"
Meng Ci swallowed hard. Devoured by tigers?
Meng Ci suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
If the tigers could arrive in time, does that mean they were already waiting nearby when the fight started?
If we hadn't won, wouldn't we have become the tigers' meal?
Thinking about this, Meng Ci felt a shiver run down his spine.
When Su Luo and his team arrived, they saw the tigers gnawing on the bodies.
They quickly used their pistols to scare the tigers away. Afterward, Su Luo checked the men's breathing and found that all of them had stopped breathing.
Each of their necks had several blood holes.
It seemed they had been bitten through the neck by the tigers, leaving them unable to resist as they were devoured.
Su Luo and his team didn't have any tools, and even if they did bury the bodies, the tigers would dig them up. So, they had no choice but to leave.
After hearing this, Meng Ci felt nothing but relief at having survived.
After all, those men got what they deserved, and Meng Ci felt no guilt.
The weather was too hot, so the two of them drove back to Villa No. 8.
They parked the car right outside the villa, not worried about it being stolen.
After all, once the sun came up, Meng Ci had set up a surveillance system around the area.
Although its functions were limited, it still served as a deterrent.
Inside the villa, the two of them went straight to the basement.
They opened two doors but didn't see Eggplant wagging his tail as usual.
Meng Ci walked around the room and finally found Eggplant in his nest.
Looking at his food bowl, he saw that the amount of food left was the same as when they had put it out in the morning.
This was far from Eggplant's usual ravenous behavior.
"What's wrong?" Meng Ci poked Eggplant, noticing how he was protecting his vital parts and seemed depressed. Meng Ci wondered if he was shy.
"What's there to be shy about? I've already touched you."
"Come on, it's time to eat."
Eggplant let out a low whine and buried his head deeper.
Meng Ci patted Eggplant's head, "We're both grown men, what's there to be shy about?"
After comforting him for a while, Eggplant still showed no response.
Meng Ci became frustrated.
Fine, if he doesn't want to eat, then he doesn't have to. He must still be full from before; he'll come out when he's hungry.
Meng Ci ignored Eggplant and turned the soil in the flower pots, planting some vegetable seeds he had taken from the seed factory.
However, he didn't move them outside, given the high temperature. They might not grow.
Meng Ci and Shen Que carried the flower pots to an unused bedroom and then took out a few grow lights from the space to shine on the pots.
"Shen Que, do you think the space has infinite power?"
Meng Ci suddenly asked. Currently, the appliances in the space, such as the water heater, relied on a generator.
Although the space had stored gasoline and diesel, the supply was limited, and now with the car, the fuel would be consumed even faster.
If there really was infinite power, it would save a lot of gasoline.
Taking Shen Que into the space, Meng Ci went straight to the third floor.
Then, Shen Que witnessed Meng Ci threatening the space.
Meng Ci held a knife and waved it in front of the white wall before speaking slowly.
"Speak up, can the space have infinite power!"
The wall only had the marks Meng Ci had made earlier and showed no other reaction.
Dissatisfied with the wall's response, Meng Ci pressed the knife against it.
"If you have it, say you have it. If you don't, say you don't. What's this act of playing dead!"
"Do you think I'm powerless just because I don't speak?"
As he spoke, Meng Ci's hand moved slightly, and a bit of white dust fell from the wall.
There it is!
With a glance, Shen Que saw a knife-carved "you" appear on the white wall.
Seeing that the wall finally responded, Meng Ci was somewhat satisfied.
"What do I need to do then?"
Despite his satisfaction, Meng Ci still hadn't found a solution, so he didn't put away the knife in his hand.
Looking at the scene before him, for some reason, the wall in front of Shen Que suddenly turned into a weak and pitiful child.
Facing Meng Ci's sharp knife, it could only tremble and shed tears, revealing everything it knew.
"Install the solar panels on the roof and connect the wires to get unlimited electricity."
Having obtained the answer, Meng Ci put away his knife with a sly smile and patted the wall to comfort it.
"Good boy, next time answer promptly when there's a question, to avoid getting hurt."
After fetching a few solar panels, he looked around but couldn't find the wires anywhere.
Seeing Meng Ci take out a small knife to interrogate the wall again, Shen Que quickly stopped him.
"Could they be on the third-floor rooftop?" Shen Que pointed to the third floor.
The house had two and a half floors, and they were currently on the second-floor balcony.
As for the third-floor rooftop, Meng Ci had never been there.
Seeing Shen Que point to the third-floor rooftop, Meng Ci thought it was possible.
"Speak clearly next time, or I'll still cut your face."
After threatening the wall, Meng Ci and Shen Que brought a ladder over and climbed to the third floor. Sure enough, they saw a wire in the center of the roof.
If Meng Ci hadn't asked, he probably would have never known about this hidden wire.
They carried a solar panel up to the roof, installed it, disconnected the generator downstairs, and turned on the switch inside the house. Electricity flowed through the entire house.
Meng Ci clapped his hands, very satisfied.
If he had known that one solar panel alone could provide electricity to the house, he would have installed it long ago.
Looking at the knife beside him, Meng Ci stroked his chin, thinking about whether he should threaten the space again to see if there were any other functions.
"Ouch!"
As soon as Meng Ci had the idea, the space shook violently, and he was quickly kicked out.
Since Shen Que had been kicked out before, he curiously asked Meng Ci, "Were you cursing the space in your mind again?"
Meng Ci snorted coldly, sat on the sofa, and felt that the space was really overstepping its bounds. He needed to think of a way to punish it.
After being kicked out of the space, Meng Ci didn't go back in. Instead, he took out a chilled watermelon from the space and shared it with Shen Que, each taking half and eating it with spoons.
This watermelon naturally couldn't be seen by Liang Xiu, as things weren't clear yet.
However, while planting vegetables, Meng Ci scattered watermelon seeds in two pots, using soil from the space. In less than two months, watermelons would grow.
Seeing that Eggplant (the pet) still hadn't finished eating, Meng Ci took out a chicken claw from the space to feed it.
But Eggplant didn't even sniff it.
