Chapter 71: The End of Tepenny

"Is anyone? I'll come in."

A clear voice sounded in the wilderness, and then the owner of the voice pushed open the door and walked in.

It was only two or three weeks since he came here last time, but things have changed. The once elegant and gorgeous decorations are now only ruins. The largest aristocratic apartment in the wasteland, the Tepeni Building, is now not popular at all, and there is a breath of death everywhere.

"Well... good smell." Su Jing sniffed the faint smell of blood in the air and stretched out his shoulders and limbs. "It seems that Tepenny has done something very interesting."

Along the way, there were corpses of dead residents and zombie remains mixed with them. There were bullet marks from guns, blunt objects hitting, and physical fights. It seemed that the entire building was in chaos, and some were traces of dragging the corpse. The front desk manager is now lying on his seat, his neck is torn and his head is missing.

Su Jing crossed the front desk and tried to press the elevator button. Fortunately, the power had not been interrupted yet and the elevator was still running. When he opened the elevator door, he saw that there were corpses of a mercenary and two zombies lying inside. The three of them were entangled with each other and could not tell who was who.

Su Jing kicked the body out of the elevator a few feet, then pressed the button on the top floor. The elevator clanged and rose all the way up. He hummed a little, then suddenly raised his head and looked at the top of the elevator that seemed to be deformed.

Twenty seconds later, a large top cover was cut off by an oxyacetylene cutter, and then a headless body fell from the top of the elevator. Su Jing looked up and seemed to have fallen straight from the elevator shaft on the top floor, and then hit the elevator.

The elevator door on the top floor was open, and Su Jing stepped out, and the floor looked like dry blood, rubbing up. Su Jing recalled the layout here, and then walked into Tepenny's luxurious bedroom.

As soon as he opened the door, the smell of rancid came. Four or five people were on Tepeni's luxurious bed, including the head of the mercenary captain Gustavo and the previous zombie Roy, an unknown blonde lady, and several other residents in the building.

"A guest is here-! Ahha, I think I remember you!" A husky and heavy voice came from the balcony. A super mutant - perhaps not very alienated, his body is not particularly thick, and his intelligence seems to be in normal state.

The super mutant Tepenny was still wearing his purple-red jacket, but the casual velvet suit was now ragged, with many bullet holes and torn damage. He walked in calmly from the balcony with the sniper rifle on his back and laughed.

"Oh, Dr. Su Jing! It's been a long time since I saw you. Please allow me to introduce you. This is my security captain, Gustavo, my richest tenant, Mr. Cheng, and the Earl of Wellington II, a respectable gentleman and nobleman. It seems that you have noticed this lovely beauty, Susan, a gentle and well-educated lady. Bernie Bernie? Where are you? Pour a cup of tea for the guests!"

Su Jing found an armchair and sat down, watching Tepenny greet the head on the bed, chat, and sing a one-man show... This cunning and vicious businessman had undoubtedly fallen into mutation and madness.

"Mr. Tepeni? Mr. Tepeni?" Su Jing shouted twice before turning the super mutant's attention back to himself, "Your body seems to be a little uncomfortable."

"Yes... I'm not very good recently. I've always had hallucinations and saw some terrifying things..." Tepeni sat on his big bed with a crunch, "To be honest, Dr. Su, I haven't fallen asleep for about a week. I have insomnia all night long. Even if I fall asleep occasionally, I'll have nightmares and wake up suddenly..."

Su Jingqian leaned down with his eyes shining and asked, "I have practiced some psychological knowledge, and may be able to provide you with some psychological counseling that can relieve your spirits... Come on, Mr. Tepenny, tell me about your dreams. What did you see in the nightmare?"

"Um..." The super mutant held his chin with his hands and began to recall, and his eyes gradually changed, "I dreamed... I seemed to have become a monster, and people were afraid of me... Then I started to kill people... In my dream, I was extremely powerful, strong and thick in skin and bloodthirsty... Gustavo always wanted to stop me, but I was killed... and there were many people... Then they began to resist me, and I just..."

Tepenny took a long breath and then slowly exhaled. He continued, "Then I opened the door and put the zombies outside the door in. I used to hate them and hunt them, but now I think they are my companions... When they slaughtered the building, they were only a part of them. Then I seemed... to be even afraid of me. Then..."

"Let me guess, and then you will kill these zombies, right?" Su Jing reminded.

"……………” Tepeni nodded silently.

"Well... have you read a book called "Doctor Incarnation"? It's a novel from the pre-war world, which is very interesting. But let's let this topic go for the time being... I think your symptoms should be that your recent stress is too high and your cognition is unstable, so you have this kind of nightmare. The treatment method is very simple. Drink more milk before going to bed and exercise more, so you can naturally enter a dreamless sleep at night... According to my observation, you are still because you live here all day, lack exercise, and think too much, so you fall into this...psychiatric disease."

"Do more exercise? Well... makes sense. I've been quite...I've been...ah, I've been stuck in the room all day long, thank you, Dr. Su." The super mutant nodded repeatedly. He shook hands with Su Jing, and then suddenly said with a sudden realization, "Oh, by the way, I forgot, Dr. Su, why are you here? I've forgotten this, it's so rude."

"This is the after-sales service of our group." Su Jing asked with a smile, "How did you feel after the injection of the medicine I gave you last time? Do you feel much more rejuvenated?"

"Hahahahahahaha--" The super mutant smiled roughly, "It's really useful, it's so amazing, Dr. Su, your medicine is really easy to use. I originally felt that I was going to die in a few years, but I didn't expect that after the injection, I felt much stronger, much younger, and my physical strength became much stronger... It was like I was back at the age of twenty, and even felt better than when I was twenty."

"Well... that's good." Su Jing stood up and patted the dust on his body. "The after-sales investigation was completed and our transaction was completely over. Goodbye, Mr. Tepenny."

"Goodbye, Dr. Su."

——————————————

After taking the elevator downstairs, Su Jing spent twenty minutes to find the location of the weapon storage warehouse. The door was open and almost all the weapons inside were taken away. It can be seen that the battle between the zombies and residents was fierce. Su Jing flipped through for a long time before finding the small box of nuclear batteries. He pulled out the card to fill it.

But the prop card used as a weapon generally has a "ammunition quantity" setting. If you even have to spend a blank prop card to carry the bullet, it would be too extravagant and wasteful. The center of the world has prop cards that specialize in carrying ammunition and energy packs, which require energy consumption. The bullet's prop card also has the main body carrying ammunition. Just like the [Experimental Hellfire Power Armor] that Su Jing got, it needs to be driven by a nuclear battery, and it has the initial nuclear battery storage capacity of [0/50].

If his ion pistol is like a card, the ion pistol that is also powered by a nuclear battery will have a carrying amount of ammunition of [0/15]. Only when a complete nuclear battery is filled into the card can the carrying amount be filled. Moreover, if the same ammunition or energy are used between different prop cards, resources can be shared at any time.

In other words, if Su Jing has an [ionic pistol] and an [experimental Hellfire Powered Armor] on his body, his total ammunition load will be 65 nuclear batteries. If he wants to carry more, he needs to turn the blank prop card into an ammunition card that specializes in carrying ammunition.

Fortunately, there are no advanced firearms using nuclear batteries here, so these powerful batteries are covered with dust until they are thrown into Su Jing's arms.

"Forty-three...forty-four...forty-five...a total of forty-five nuclear batteries, which is probably enough to last nine thousand years for Hellfire Armor." Su Jing calculated the daily power consumption of Hellfire Armor, and then nodded, "But considering the inevitable increase in power after modification, the usage time may be reduced by thousands of times."

Nuclear batteries can be said to be one of the most unscientific technological products in the radiation world. They miniaturize nuclear fusion and put them into production, and almost become common power supplies to all social classes. It can be seen that both safety and practicality have reached an extremely high level. Such a world of high energy technology will even fight because of oil resources, which makes Su Jing feel very incredible.

As of now, the energy of these nuclear batteries is more than enough for him to use. When he is strong enough, it is self-evident that he will be able to find a more practical and convenient energy supply long ago.

".........Another...a day or two?" Su Jing calculated the time slightly, "I have to hurry back... for a better tomorrow in the wasteland and the revival of human civilization."
