As the battle in the base continues, the number of first-level awakened people gradually increases. Li Zhe is already collecting the second-level crystal cores. Just now, Xing Peng's team sent back the tenth second-level crystal core. Li Zhe knows that he is It's time to upgrade.
Looking at the ten secondary crystal nuclei in front of him, Li Zhe took a deep breath and stabilized his mind. He wanted to achieve the best state for himself.
Picking up the crystal core, he held it in front of his chest with both hands. Waves of light green light emanated from the crystal core and surrounded Li Zhe, wrapping him like a thin egg shell. Li Zhe absorbed it, and time passed little by little. Li Zhe's training lasted for two full days and one night. People in the base were very worried about Li Zhe's safety. After all, in the end of the world, no one knew whether upgrading to the second level awakened person would be successful.
Upgrading abilities is indeed risky, but the upgrade of low-level abilities is generally successful. Only a few people are interrupted during the upgrade process. This is not a problem for Li Zhe. The reason why he has so much time Long, mainly because of his dual-type abilities. The fire-type abilities have been awakened three hours after practicing. In addition to being able to launch large fireballs, the second-level fire-type abilities can also control the shape of flames.
The reason why it took so long is because Li Zhe was digesting the changes brought about by the second-level space power. Compared with the previous life, the current space power has not changed. Upgrading to the second-level space power can launch air cannons. , has a wider killing range than the Space Blade. If the Space Blade is a knife, then the air cannon is a bomb. Its power is no worse than a high-explosive grenade, and it is more concealed. Of course, Li Zhe's Space Blade The attack range and attack power have also been improved. Now without Xiao Lan's assistance, his space blade should be able to cut through the scales of level three mutants.
The biggest change in him was in his different space. To be precise, it was the small tree in the different space. At this time, the small tree could already convey information to Li Zhe through its branches. These were not the things that surprised the latter. What was surprising was the foot of the small tree. The lake water, according to Xiaoshu's meaning, is that these lake waters will increase with the improvement of the different space, that is, the improvement of Li Zhe's special ability can improve the physical quality of awakened people, and even change the physique of ordinary people, allowing ordinary people to become primary awakened people.
You know, Li Zhe had never heard of this in his previous life. Such a small lake that defied the heavens was actually in his other dimension. After repeated confirmations for a long time, Li Zhe realized that Xiaoshu had not lied and could only find someone to experiment with in the future.
In addition to the small lake, I learned from Xiaoshu that after being upgraded to the second level, the current alien space can absorb raw jade stones again for upgrading, and in addition to jade, other rare gems and ores will also be expanded to a certain extent. Different space, but the effect may not be as good as that of jade.

Twenty kilometers north of Base No. 1, there is a four-story building. It was originally the management office of the power supply management system. At this time, the fourth floor has been requisitioned by the base as a temporary outpost. Uncle Huang led a team to change defense here. Uncle Huang is My uncle's comrade in the same class has a deep relationship with her. He has a daughter in Lianhai City, and I don't know how she is doing.
As his uncle's former right-hand man, he was very popular in the base. Firstly, he was the old squad leader, and secondly, he was an upright person. He always charged forward in every battle and had rich combat experience.
Looking at his comrades sitting on the ground around him, Uncle Huang straightened his clothes and led the two of them on patrol.
"Let me tell you, old squad leader, we have cleaned up all the mutants around here. Is it still necessary to patrol day and night?" a soldier asked.
"You kid, you just want to be lazy." Uncle Huang scolded with a smile.
"Li Zhe told us that the most dangerous thing in the last days is not mutants, but the human heart. Do you know why?"
The two warriors shook their heads.
"We were soldiers, and there will be no evil in our hearts, because we live very simply, living for our family and friends." Hearing Uncle Huang's words, the two soldiers nodded.
"However, people are unpredictable. Have you seen the group of awakened people who attacked us before? They also brought more than fifty humans with them. They have been rescued by our people. At that time, they only had a glass of water and a few biscuits every day. This cold winter is unbearable and many people have already starved to death.”
Seeing that the two soldiers were silent, Uncle Huang continued:
"And the women among them have to serve the two dozen awakened ones at any time. They are beasts. We have nothing to hesitate about such people, just kill them. And Li Zhe has established those rules in our base, that is In order to prevent our hearts from being evil, although the world has changed, we must keep our true intentions. At the same time, we must always be on guard against the attacks of those evil people. They will tear us and our families into pieces like hungry wolves. No bones are left.”
Having said this, Uncle Huang suddenly raised his right hand.
"What's wrong, old squad leader?" a soldier asked.
"The situation is not right, we are hiding." He said and took two soldiers to hide next to a big tree on the left.
Uncle Huang pointed at a soldier and then at the tree. The latter nodded to express his understanding, turned over and reached the top of the tree neatly with a few movements.
The two people under the tree looked ahead on both sides of the tree.
After a while, the soldier on the left couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Old squad leader, it's so dark that you can't see anything. What's wrong?"
Uncle Huang glanced at the other person, without explaining, and pointed to the two o'clock direction.
I saw that there seemed to be a small yellow dot glowing faintly there.
"Is that? Fire?"
"Yes, someone must have set up a bonfire."
After saying that, he ignored the soldiers next to him and took out his night vision binoculars to carefully observe the front.
The biting cold wind blew across their faces like blades. Uncle Huang and the other three seemed to be integrated with the world. It was difficult to distinguish the white protective clothing on their bodies on this snowy night.
Uncle Huang had to admire Li Zhe. They were wearing mountaineering clothes. No matter how cold the wind was outside, they could not penetrate their bodies. They were also wrapped in protective clothing, which could not only prevent radiation from invading, but also provide concealment in the snow. Looking at the night vision binoculars in his hand, without these equipment, how could he have led the team to patrol over and over so easily!
Through the night vision binoculars, Uncle Huang found that about fifteen people had gathered in the light of the fire. They were grilling food and canned meat products. These people were warming up around the campfire and talking at the same time.
Although they couldn't hear their conversation, judging from their demeanor, they must be awakened people. Moreover, they all looked solemn at this time, and they set up bonfires in this damn weather. They were obviously not targeting mutants. , if it is not aimed at mutants, then these people are likely to conflict with their own base.
In order not to alert the enemy, Uncle Huang decisively gave up the observation and ordered his two men: "Let's go back to the outpost and report back to the base the situation detected today."
