Only by quickly resolving the immediate trouble can we get back on the road.
As the rumbling sound sounded, countless zombies were blown to pieces, and their originally broken bodies became even more dilapidated.
Just one look at it can make you unable to eat for days.
Of course, this was said to the three people in the car.
Zhao Yuan and others tried their best to hold back their surging stomachs, and watched the scene in front of them with trembling limbs.
At this moment, they became more deeply aware of the cruelty of this world.
"It's over, it's all over..."
"I don't know what's going on with my parents, they--"
Tears welled up in the eyes of the three of them. In this unpredictable world, it was not easy for them to stay alive.
It is a luxury to ask for anything else.
Professor Zhang sighed, "Aren't they going to take us to the base? Maybe our family members have already gone. Don't be too pessimistic."
The road back was not peaceful. It was nearly 30 kilometers from the People's Hospital to the Central China Base. It would only take an hour or two in normal times.
However, it is extremely far away for now.
I walked up and down the street in front of the hospital for an hour, and had to find a place to stay as the sun set.
"There's a hotel in front, and there aren't many zombies nearby."
After walking around in circles for a long time, Chen Xingluo chose a remote alley.
This area belongs to the construction area of the old city. The buildings are not high and not crowded. Young people have moved away here long ago, and most of the old people who can stay here are old-fashioned.
Xu Qingzhou quickly led people to clean up the elderly zombies nearby and successfully entered the six-story hotel.
Professor Zhang and the other three were each given sandwiches and mineral water for lunch, and were required to rest forcibly to recover their strength.
Chen Xingluo and Cheng Xi chose a room by the window to rest.
In the space, the two of them were silently looking at the 2,500 crystal nuclei sinking in the basin.
Why not 5,000?
Of course, it is used to repay the defense bracelets purchased from the system mall, and the rest is pure income.
"Huge profits!"
Cheng Xi lamented, "Why didn't you set the price higher in the first place?"
Chen Xingluo laughed, "This is already half the profit. If it is too expensive, ordinary people can't afford it."
"The truth is this... Okay, let's treat it as charity."
Although the two of them are not from this world and have less of a sense of belonging, watching people suffer is something that only a lunatic would do.
She stretched out her hand and poked the crystal core in the water. The crystal core floated upwards and then sank again.
"So how does this thing work? The scientists at the Central China Base are too inefficient. It's been a month and they haven't figured it out yet."
After such a long time, I could only come to the conclusion that "there is manic energy in the crystal core, use with caution".
"System, do you know?"
[Miss, there is indeed unstable manic energy in the crystal core, so you cannot take it directly! 】
"So, can you solve the problem?"
[Okay, you need to melt the crystal core and separate out the manic energy part, and the rest can be taken! 】
"Taking it? It turns out this thing is taken orally...wait, that's not the point."
Cheng Xi said, "The hardness of the crystal core is comparable to diamond, how can it melt?"
[There are machines available for purchase in the system mall~]
Okay, I understand.
Another series that deceived me into spending money.
Cheng Xi looked at the sky speechlessly.
Chen Xingluo's attention was focused on another thing, "People at the base cannot put their hope in your so-called machine. For this world, how to solve the problem of crystal core melting?"
He had read in books about how hard diamonds were.
If the crystal core was as hard as diamond, then a machine that could melt it would most likely not exist in the world.
In other words, the crystal core cannot be used by people with superpowers.
No, it won't.
Chen Xingluo quickly rejected this conclusion. All things in time are interdependent and there is no problem that cannot be solved.
His obsidian eyes paused, and he thought of a possibility.
"The virus that causes zombies comes from extraterrestrial meteorites, so the solution should be related to it, right?"
[Yes, the host is so smart!
! 】
[The meteorite belongs to metal. The material contained in it and the manic energy in the crystal core are in conflict with each other and can be completely separated. 】
"No wonder......"
The scientists at the base made no progress in their research. It turned out to be because they chose the wrong direction.
"Remind Xu Qingzhou tomorrow."
As for whether it can be studied later, that depends on the experts.
Cheng Xi clicked on the plane mall page and flipped through many pages before finding a machine that could purify crystal nuclei.
However......
"Damn it, you're stealing money!"
The unit price below is clearly marked with the words 10,000,000 interstellar coins.
Ten million, good guy!
Cheng Xi took a look at the crystal cores in the basin. There were 2,500 of them. According to the exchange ratio of 1,000 interstellar coins for one crystal core, it was 2.5 million.
Still 7.5 million short.
It’s not even enough to buy a machine, but it’s even more purifying!
Cheng Xi shed tears of poverty, "Profiteer, profiteer."
Compared with Gan Ling, she is just a drop in the bucket.
Seeing her loss, Chen Xingluo thought, "Would you like to make some extra money?"
What?
Ten minutes later, Cheng Xi finally understood what it meant to make extra money.
They emerged from the space, climbed down the hotel's low windows, and ran to nearby streets.
However, the zombies that had been showing their teeth and claws during the day seemed to have become much quieter, leaving only a bunch of unknown noises.
Chen Xingluo put the machete into her hand.
"Try to be as quiet as possible."
"knew."
Making a fortune in silence was her favorite.
So the two of them avoided the sleeping crowd and started the experience of defeating the mini-boss. After cutting down, they looked for the crystal core, and when they were tired, they went back to the space to rest.
After a night like this, several streets outside the hotel were cleaned up.
And the two people who turned one night into several days also gained a lot.
"7538, 7539...that's enough!"
After returning to the hotel, the two quickly exchanged 10,000 crystal nuclei for the purification machine and placed it in the space.
"There are 40 crystal nuclei left."
"Creek."
"What's wrong?"
Cheng Xi, who was counting with his head down, raised his head and looked out the window following Shen Xingluo's solemn gaze. He saw that the sky was dark and gloomy, which made people feel hopeless in vain.
"Taiyang is skipping work?"
"more than."
Chen Xingluo elaborated on his intuition, "This weather is unusual, system?"
[Cloud layer detection...]
[After testing, it was found that the clouds contained a large number of viral elements, which were exactly the same as the viruses originally attached to the meteorite. 】
[Host, when the meteorite pile broke through the atmosphere, a few viruses were left behind in the clouds. When the rain falls, it will destroy the soil structure and water sources will also be affected. 】
"Which means that after it rains, the soil and water will carry the virus and cannot be used?"
[In principle, this is the case. 】
"So, what effect does the rain itself have on the person who gets caught in it?"
[Anyone who comes into contact will be infected by the virus and may become a zombie. 】
