After returning to the room at the underground water station, Chen Xing lay on the boss's chair, looking at the ceiling, thinking repeatedly about the reason why Aaliya invited him to the Black Death Forest.
This matter was very tempting to him. It's not that he wants to pursue Aaliya, but if he wants to obtain the raw materials for the hero potion in the future, he will have to hunt a large number of guardian-level creatures. If there was a chance, he would also like to familiarize himself with the situation there in advance.
Furthermore, since Aaliya brought it up, she must have relevant experience. If you follow her, your safety will be much higher.
But with her strength, why should she take him with her?
Have a crush on him?
It's good to think about this kind of thought. Even Aaliya now can't like him.
So, think about it from the perspective of interests.
Steal his belongings?
It seems unlikely. He either invested his money in the camp or on medicines, making him extremely poor. As for the equipment on his body, the most valuable one is the deluxe version of the Silver Star given to him by the mayor. Although it is worth a little money, it is not enough to make Aaliya break her face. From the last incident of killing Wang Bo, it can be seen that she does not want to conflict with the mayor.
He was the captain of the third team of the Orchid Town Guards. If he died inexplicably, Aaliyah would definitely have to explain to the mayor, so it was unlikely that he would be murdered.
Thinking of this, he made a decision: Go!
But before going, he must have a showdown with Aaliyah and let her show her true fighting strength, otherwise he will not take the risk.
But it's still a long time now, there are still three months until winter, so there is no need to rush to reply.
After thinking about the problem, Chen Xing left the room, took the elevator in the rest area, returned to the ground, and patrolled the stronghold.
Today, the exterior walls are fully completed. It is about three meters high and made of granite and concrete. Although it cannot be said to be very strong, it is thick and heavy enough, more than one meter wide, and cannot be destroyed by ordinary wild creatures.
On the defensive side, he has selected some young people in the slums under his jurisdiction to form militia patrols to patrol the outer walls. The person in charge is a refugee named "Alan". He has a dull personality and doesn't talk much, but he is calm and good at close combat. He once participated in a termite battle.
"Captain, good afternoon." When passing by the guard post, Alan saluted Chen Xing and greeted him.
"Be careful of stray corpse-eating dogs, don't let them sneak in." Chen Xing warned casually.
"Yes." Alan stood upright and responded. Wearing a light gray waterproof military uniform, he looks stylish.
Chen Xing nodded and continued walking along the bottom of the city wall. There are open spaces around here. In the stronghold, there is a surrounding road under the city wall, and then there is a slum area. There are no buildings, only a water supply system and a simple open-air drainage system for the refugees to set up tents to live.
The closer you get to the middle fort, the more buildings there are. However, most of them are sheds, and only the arsenal and fuel depot are made of reinforced concrete structures. Over time, a small commercial street will be planned to include clinics, pharmacies, weapon shops, bars, etc., as well as locations for vendors to set up stalls.
"The water supply system is 35% complete, and the drainage system is 50% complete. It will be completed in another month and a half." Near the construction site, an engineer wearing a red safety helmet reported to Chen Xinghui.
After inspecting the completion site, Chen Xing went to the planting area outside the stronghold. Thanks to the heavy rains some time ago, the red berries are growing very well. Looking around, it is green.
Carrot said that in more than ten days, the red berry tree will enter the middle stage of youth and become restless. They cannot stay in the same place for long periods of time and need to be grazed.
Chen Xing assigned him two garrison members as guards, and assigned five or six refugees to help him.
After hearing this, Luobo was very happy. Then he rubbed his hands and asked, "Boss, can you, can you pair me with two girls?"
"I can ask Aaron to accompany you." Chen Xing said with a cold face.
The previous scenes appeared in front of his eyes. Carrot wriggled his lips and turned pale. He seemed to be frightened. He shook his head and waved his hands, and said in a panic, "No, no, thank you, boss. You really don't need to..."
After leaving the planting area and returning to the stronghold, Chen Xing went to the canteen to have dinner and then exercised in the training room for a while.
Besides him, there are several other team members here. One is exercising arm strength on a multi-functional combination equipment, one is lying on a chair and jerking barbells, and the two are sparring in a ring paved with wooden boards.
The mutated creatures in the wasteland are either thick-skinned or agile, and even with firearms, close combat is inevitable. Exercising physical function is a compulsory course for every soldier.
After breaking out in a sweat, Chen Xing returned to his room, took a shower and changed clothes, then lay quietly on the bed.
After a while, his consciousness entered a blue ocean.
Looking as far as the eye can see, the sea and sky are boundless.
On the sea, it was peaceful, quiet and calm. Dots of starlight, floating from the sea, flickering on and off, like fireflies
This is the spiritual sea of those with awakened spiritual power, one of the manifestations of spiritual energy in the spiritual realm. Some people can see lava mountains, emerald gardens, or the starry sky and the universe.
After communicating with Ye Yang Bailiu during this period, Chen Xing learned that people who see the spiritual sea usually have more spiritual energy. When you see the lava mountains, you will have stronger explosive power. When you see the emerald garden, you will be more pure and solid. As for the starry sky and the universe, it is all-encompassing and has all the advantages.
Generally speaking, those who see the spiritual sea are the weakest. The reason is simple. The "quantity" can be supplemented by medicine, but the intensity cannot.
Chen Xing asked a lot, but was shocked. What Ye Yang Bailiu saw was the starry sky and the universe, one of the signs of the future strong man. But then again, he was a person who took nine potions and almost died before awakening. He was already pretty good, so he couldn't pray too much.
In the sky above the sea, there are three simple runes suspended, one with flowing golden light, one with bronze color, exuding dim red light, and one with ice blue color, with blue light all over.
The first is the "Triple" rune, the second is the "Danger Sense" rune, and the third is the "Charged Shot" rune. Whenever a new ability is mastered, a rune representing this ability will appear in the spiritual sea.
Chen Xing focused his attention on the sea, calmly, constantly feeling and thinking...
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there were waves on the sea. There seemed to be undercurrents surging below, and bursts of thunder lingered in my ears. After a long time, there was only a "crash" sound, and a new rune emerged from the sea, with thunder light lingering all over its body, making it look majestic.
This is the skill "Charge Shock" he has been learning recently, which can convert psychic energy into electrical energy and release it instantly.
After a while, he opened his eyes. Slowly mobilize the psychic energy, then raise your right hand and point forward.
In an instant, an electric arc shot out from his fingers, across the ceiling, and shattered the light tube with a "pop" sound.
This skill, also known as "Electricity between Fingers", uses one standard unit, or more psionic energy, to cause an electrical charge. The advantage is that it is shot quickly and does not need to be attached to a physical object to be effective. The disadvantage is that the power is limited, so it is better to shoot.
Chen Xingxue learned this mainly for self-defense. When ammunition is exhausted or no weapons are carried, delay and counterattack can be carried out.
