Chapter 184 I'll give you my heart
The Land of Snow.
Snow flakes fluttered down from the dark sky, and the sky and earth seemed to be hung with a white curtain. Mountains, fields, and villages were all shrouded in white snow.
And on a mountain that looked ordinary and covered with ice and snow.
Many bright searchlights kept sweeping everything around, and groups of figures kept patrolling back and forth nearby.
Their whole bodies were covered with heavy silver-white armor, and every part was perfectly connected together, and they also carried a special and strange gun behind them.
Although the facial expression was covered by the silver-white mask, even if they stood there upright, they could give people a sense of cold and murderous oppression.
With such a thorough and strict surveillance, even flies would not want to fly in.

But at this moment.
A black figure slowly walked out of the vast snowstorm.
After seeing the man who suddenly appeared, the patrol soldiers who were originally on guard stopped instantly.
Bang! Bang!
They all lowered their heads, clenched their left fists and placed them on their waists behind them.
The right fist clenched and lightly hit the heart, making a series of dull knocking sounds.
Seeing this, Menma's steps suddenly stopped.
A helpless smile appeared under the mask, and he secretly complained in his heart: "Izumi will not teach soldiers to salute me. It is estimated that Yakumo and Xiaoxue are messing around again."
Although it feels a bit strange, but...
Military salute is also part of military discipline, and it is an important guarantee for maintaining the concentration and unity of the army, consolidating and improving combat effectiveness, and completing various tasks.
Moreover, even Menma, who was calm and composed, could not help but be moved when he saw these soldiers saluting.
"Heh, this solemn sense of honor and responsibility really feels familiar."
The smile on Menma's lips became wanton, and he took another step to go deeper.
He did not choose to return the greetings or say hello to these soldiers.
As a leader, what he had to do was to lead the soldiers to taste the fruits of victory.
This was the best reward for their loyalty.
And when Menma's figure disappeared from sight.
The soldiers put down their arms at the same time and continued to perform their tasks.
Menma walked to a black round platform at the center of the mountain top, and the black round platform began to move slowly into the snow mountain below.
Click, click, click.
As the black round platform continued to descend, the buildings inside the snow mountain appeared in front of Menma.
The walls here are made of a special translucent material, and there is no gap between the materials at all, just like a complete wall.
The thickness and material of this wall are difficult to break even with powerful ninjutsu.
To some extent, it is enough to withstand a spiral wheel.
This is the first high-end research institute in the field of science and technology established by the Snow Country, so Menma named it "Dawn Research Institute".
The height from the entrance to the inner passage is about 17 or 18 meters.
When Menma walked out of the passage, a tall figure in a white coat walked over step by step.
It was Shennong who was beaten up by Jiu Maha not long ago.
However, he has now become the second person in charge of the Dawn Research Institute.
It would be a waste of natural resources to kill such a rare scientific research talent directly.
So Menma asked Jiu Maha to spare his life.
Although Shennong is now the second person in charge of the Dawn Research Institute in name, he is actually a criminal in a semi-imprisoned state.
Menma has planted a "seed" in his body, and he will need to see his performance in the future to decide whether to lift the restrictions.
"Sir, please follow me."
Shennong leaned slightly with a respectful and kind attitude, and then walked towards the inside of the institute.
Menma nodded and followed him without saying a word.
The two walked to a fully enclosed laboratory and looked inside through the transparent glass wall.
Some fully armed researchers were discussing something around a giant glass cylinder.
The container of the glass cylinder was the Zero Tail that was transferred back from the mobile fortress.
The green liquid contained in it was a potion specially made by Menma for Zero Tail, which could prevent it from suddenly erupting and causing unnecessary casualties.
It seemed that he sensed the familiar chakra on Menma.
The tightly closed pale mask on Zero Tail's face suddenly revealed a scarlet gap.
But after seeing Menma's figure.
Zero Tail's huge black snake-like body instantly shrank into a ball and did not move, just like a carefully prepared biological specimen, afraid that he would be noticed by Menma.
"Heh."
Seeing this, Menma sneered: "It seems that this beast has a high IQ, and he knows to pretend to be weak."
Although Zero Tail was controlled by the former Sky Country, it became the core energy engine of the fortress.
But Zero-Tail feeds on negative emotions such as despair and sadness of humans, and transforms negative emotions of humans into its own power and into extremely evil dark chakra.
Zero-Tail is just dormant now because it is a coward.
Its current power is not enough to compete with the tailed beasts, but it is only a matter of time as long as it grows smoothly.
However, Menma does not intend to let Zero-Tail grow indefinitely.
Menma looked at Zero-Tail and said calmly: "Shen Nong, have you found a way to supply Zero-Tail's energy in a stable and long-term manner?"
"...I'm very sorry, my lord."
Shennong was silent for a moment, his eyes flashed and he said: "If you want to recycle Zero-Tail's chakra, there is no way to do it with today's technology."
The Kingdom of the Sky then used decades to build a miraculous flying fortress using the 'Zero Tail' and the core.
The Kingdom of Sky once mobilized the entire country to secretly capture and imprison humans, channeling their negative emotions such as sadness and despair, and then built the flying fortress with Zero Tail as the core energy.
However, once the zero-tail chakra is consumed, it cannot be recycled again.
Menma frowned and said softly: "This large battery cannot be wasted."
The energy required by that mobile fortress is too huge.
You can't catch a tailed beast and use it as a "battery". That would be too much of a waste of natural resources.
The Box of Bliss can purify chakra with negative emotions into normal chakra.
But Zero-Tail requires negative chakra support, and the Box of Bliss cannot meet this condition.
"If i remember correctly."
Menma touched his chin and thought secretly: "In the original plot, was there another character who could use dark chakra?"
"It seems to be in Loulan..."
Just when Menma's thoughts were racing.
His body suddenly stiffened and he subconsciously looked up.
"This feeling of being spied on..."
