CHAPTER 302: CHAPTER 302: FAMILY GATHERING

Chu Miao grabbed Ye Xuan’s hand and teleported back home. Since she had a clear picture of where she wanted to go, she appeared right next to the desk Yang Leo had set up.

"Is the data we got useful?" Chu Miao asked as soon as they arrived and sat down.

"Very useful. Depending on the distance and clarity of communication between this place and everywhere you went, it will help me a lot.

By the way, you two are really bold. Going right into the center of the enemy’s den. Weren’t you afraid of being caught?" Yang Leo would never understand the strange thrill soldiers got when infiltrating enemy territory and coming out unscathed.

It showed their ability and manifests the enemy’s weakness that could be exploited when needed.

"It wasn’t that difficult. The flood made it easier to get in and out without alerting anyone." Chu Miao said with a smile.

Her talismans might be considered inferior goods in the ancient times, but in the modern era, they were a miracle. So, she never worried about those stupid leaders.

If not for being concerned about her other members of the sect, she wouldn’t care about such mortals.

"That’s pretty impressive." Yang Leo laughed as he looked at the data he got that day. It was quite useful.

"Is it possible to use this data to adjust the frequency and reach even farther? For instance, maybe across regions? Since we don’t have a network and cannot rely on satellites entirely, is it possible to adjust the devices made now to match the current resources?" Ye Xuan asked with a half-smile because even he was happy about that day’s results.

Yang Leo’s eyes lit up when he heard that. He hadn’t thought of utilizing the resources that came with the apocalypse to make technical devices.

But now given that idea, she felt that it was feasible, especially if people with superpowers were going to be using them.

As a superpower user himself, and a physics professor, he had tried to investigate how the superpower worked to see if there was another way to improve it apart from absorbing crystal cores.

He had discovered that there was a magnetic field around superpower users and it was with its alignment that the abilities could be used or improved.

Now that he had been enlightened, he wanted to try and see if the same magnetic field could be used in electronic devices.

"I think it can be done. If we calibrate the signal boosters to align with the magnetic field around a superpower user and reroute the energy flow through a spiritual conduit, we might be able to extend the range significantly. I’ll start working on it right away." The excitement in Yang Leo’s voice couldn’t be hidden.

"Alright then, you get to work. We’ll go back home for lunch." Chu Miao also felt that it was good news that there was a way to communicate from a distance even in a dark era.

With that settled, the two went back to the Chu family apartment where the scent of freshly made food welcomed them like an old friend.

He Yan usually enjoyed cooking fresh meals for the family when she wasn’t cultivating in seclusion. Even though there were many dishes in the warehouse inside the space ring, she still likes to cook.

The dishes on the tablet included steamed rice, sauteed mushrooms mixed with baby spinach, all harvested from the soul ring and filled with spiritual energy and some fish fillets from the mutated fish they had slain during their previous supply run.

The family sat down to eat and Ye Xuan, like the model boyfriend, served Chu Miao with some fish and vegetables even before serving himself.

The other members of the family were already used to this habit and didn’t think there was anything wrong with the youngsters showing their affection for each other.

After lunch, the family went to the living room to talk there. Since the rain had stopped, it was time to start expanding the bunker in the mountain.

Once the flood water dried, they could then start with the main sect within the community they lived in.

"Let’s go survey the bunker and take out all the supplies so that we can redesign it and start its expansion.

At first, I had thought that it would be difficult to expand the bunker because the mountain is too hard and carving more room would be challenging.

I didn’t expect Lei Ying and Gu Fan to awaken elements that could aid in construction.

Second Grandpa can also help with his earth element." Ye Xuan said with a cup of tea held in his hand.

"What elements did they awaken?" Chu Hao was curious to know how unique those elements were that they made construction easy.

"Lei Ying awakened the earth element and according to the cultivation technique provided by Miaoer, he can manipulate the earth, so can Second Grandpa. If they work together, then carving more space in the bunker won’t be a problem.

Gu Fan’s element is a bit confusing and I wanted to ask for advice from you all. I haven’t figured out whether he can manipulate different elements or what it is but he can reinforce surfaces.

For instance, if he used his spiritual energy to reinforce a wall, it is equivalent to having more durable materials added.

Sort of like how we reinforced the apartments before the apocalypse.

He also found that he could repair surfaces. If a wall has a crack, he just needs to use his spiritual energy to return it to its original state.

I was thinking that if he could add such reinforcement around the whole bunker, with the addition of the array formations Miaoer had suggested, then that place would be unbreakable even if bombarded by bombs.

What do you think?" Ye Xuan explained his opinion because he believed that building the secondary refuge while people were not paying attention yet was the best thing to do.
