Qi Rui's eyes were like a deep pool, looking at the messy ground, the dying mutated creatures and the base soldiers who came for reinforcements. He walked towards the city gate alone.
Of course, Qi Kaifeng would not miss this good opportunity. Taking advantage of the fact that the mutated creatures were weakened by the high temperature, he immediately ordered the team organized by the Evolvers to set out to support Qi Rui, and asked them to dig out the demon gems from the monsters.
The name Demon Gem was also given by other bases. It is like a sharp blade in the hands of demons, helping zombies and mutated creatures gain amazing power and assisting them in their mischief.
We returned to the base and didn't take a few steps. Qi Rui stopped and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar father in front of him. Qi Kaifeng came to him and immediately asked about his injury. The latter just nodded to indicate that it was okay and would go to his residence.
Qi Rui needs to absorb and digest the crystal. The energy contained in the original Crystal of Hope is not much for an evolver, but due to the high level of this iron claw crab, it will take some time to fully absorb it.
Qi Rui rejected the celebration banquet prepared by Qi Kaifeng for him, but Qi Kaifeng smiled and said that he would not be able to attend it.
——
Time passed by a week, and Qi Rui also successfully recovered in a few days. At this moment, he was walking alone in the streets of the base. Looking at the pleasant scenes of hard-working people, Qi Rui felt extra warm in his heart. It's like deja vu.
After the beast wave ended, ruins of buildings destroyed by burning were everywhere. In order to avoid unnecessary obstacles to transportation, reconstruction and cleanup work was being carried out one after another.
When Qi Kaifeng heard that his son had finally gone out, he immediately ordered several tables of delicious food to be cooked. The father and son just ate the delicious food and talked.
"Son, this dish is from the big crab last time. I specially saved it for you, come and eat more..." After Qi Kaifeng finished speaking, he took out a piece of snow-white meat from the plate. This is iron Crab meat.
Qi Kaifeng had no intention of selling this iron claw crab. After all, it was too valuable. Even just eating its meat could increase its genetic level.
Although the top brass of their base have been injected with genetic medicine, they will not take the initiative to fight on the front lines, so their genetic level is not high.
Since they boast that they do not need to go into battle personally, there is no need for levels or anything like that. The cost of purchasing genetic potions to improve levels is also very high. Some people also start from other aspects. Obviously eating mutated organisms is a good way. .
Qi Rui buried his head in his meal and didn't say much. He just nodded symbolically. Qi Kaifeng also smiled and said nothing. Qi Xiang gritted his teeth as he watched.
Since the last beast wave, Qi Xiang has become even more unpopular. He knows that some people are saying bad things about him behind his back, but he cannot catch these people on the spot and kill them quickly. This has made him accumulate a lot of experience these days. of resentment.
Qi Xiang hated his new brother. When they first met, they had a quarrel because of a woman. Now, he couldn't feel his father's concern for him before, which made Qi Xiang's face look a little ugly.
He took a few mouthfuls of rice, quickly finished the meal in front of him, stood up immediately and said: "I'm full..."
Qi Kaifeng could also tell that his son was sulking at him. Knowing Qi Xiang's temper, he couldn't help but have a headache. He didn't know how to make his son be as polite as Qi Rui.
In the end, only Qi Rui and Qi Rui were left at the dinner table. Qi Kaifeng stood up slowly, held Qi Rui's shoulders with a sigh on his face, and then said with emotion: "So many years have passed, you have grown up completely, and you are more sensible than your brother. …”
After saying that, Qi Kaifeng sighed, which Qi Rui could naturally hear, and he immediately said: "Dad, if you have anything that worries you, just tell me. If I can do it, I will definitely do it."
"This... ugh!" Qi Kaifeng is still relatively experienced in acting. He first sighed, pretending to be reluctant, and then said one thing.
It turns out that the food reserves of the Dizihao base are not large. Although it is very prosperous now, this performance cannot last long. Qi Kaifeng has been worried about this for many days.
Finally, through communication between satellites, he found the place closest to here with the largest food reserves-H Province.
The danger level of this island with eighteen cities has become even more incredible, with the plant coverage rate of the province reaching 65%.
On an island buried under tropical plants, humans face not only the danger of marine life coming ashore, but also mutated land creatures and zombies transformed by humans everywhere. The most dangerous thing is the hidden mutated plants that are difficult to detect!
Due to the geographical advantages of H-Nan province, the number of military bases established before the end of the world was relatively large. Most of the Dizihao bases and Renzihao bases were established in the province. Although they were safe, they faced more intrusions from creatures and zombies.
Not long ago, Qi Kaifeng received information that four of the six Tianzihao bases in the province had become completely dead cities. Even if people were hiding underground, they would still be in danger.
There are always some extremely smart zombies or mutated creatures that will wait and wait for the underground humans to be exhausted and automatically come to the surface. .
There are only 2 left, one of which is still struggling. It is the Tianzihao base of the S rolling market. It was originally a good place for the world to take a vacation. This was due to its geographical advantages. When the end of the world came, this advantage turned into a disadvantage.
Now it's all about rampaging sea creatures and beautiful zombies in bathing suits looking for flesh and blood. Thinking of this, Qi Rui shook his head again. The mission this time was to help transfer the survivors in this base to their Tianzihao Base in Port H, the provincial capital.
The extra food and weapons will be given to Qi Kaifeng free of charge from the Tianzihao base. This is a relocation that has taken several cities. This is the end of the world, and it is difficult to imagine the difficulty of this task.
The mission of this base is to let Qi Rui deal with the top monsters he encounters. Ordinary monsters do not require him to take action personally. After all, preserving strength is the most important thing.
Qi Kaifeng agreed to their request because of food. Hena Province, Shandong Province, and Hlongjiang Province are major provinces that produce food, but this is the data before the end of the world.
Originally, the large number of their plantings was the result of the large geographical area and large population. But after the end of the world, the population plummeted, and planting efforts were almost completely lost.
There are only Tianzihao bases or a small number of prefecture-level bases that can send out people for planting. Most of them still rely on granaries to survive, and there will be no problems within a few years.
But after several months of contact with these zombies and mutated creatures, many people already know that they are far more powerful than imagined. Humans can only survive in the cracks, and the living space is repeatedly compressed, making people breathless.
The most powerful thing about H Province is the speed at which it grows food. Rice is harvested four times a year. Most of the mutated organisms that were originally herbivorous will not eat plants. They will only choose to eat green plants if they cannot find food.
The most indispensable thing in Province H is plants, and most of them are tropical fruit trees. Faced with such temptation, the mutated creatures will not eat the unpalatable rice. The rice fields can be easily maintained even if no one takes care of them.
If evolutionaries are also involved in the harvest, it can be transported back to the base in almost a few days. After the post-apocalyptic reorganization, the rice fields near the base have also attracted two harvests. They will give priority to eating fruits that are difficult to store and choose to preserve grains.
As time goes by, the rice will increase. Now that we are moving, instead of leaving it rotten and moldy in the same place, it is better to give it out as a thank you gift.
These are all small tricks, and everyone with a discerning eye knows it, but they also want to get a share of the pie but do not have the strength. Seeing the base losing people bit by bit, but unable to retreat, the survivors of the S market are very desperate.
It just so happened that just a few days ago, a video of Qi Rui fighting an iron claw crab was uploaded, and there was hope for the S market base again. Qi Kaifeng was negotiating conditions on the surface, but in fact he kept raising prices, but the latter could not give up this life-saving bridge. I just had to bite the bullet and hold on.
After discussing with Qi Rui, he agreed immediately. Looking at this kind and powerful young man, Qi Kaifeng said nothing but said: The mission can fail, but you must come back alive...
Qi Rui started preparing supplies before departure without stopping. In addition to ordering a set of equipment for himself, Qi Kaifeng also prepared manpower for him. He originally wanted to refuse, but he accepted his father's kindness.
Seeing Qi Rui walking away, Qi Xiang stood in the tall building and chuckled alone, then turned around and sat back down.
…
Originally, the only way to get to H Nan Province from D City, where Qi Rui is located, was by boat. However, in the apocalypse, whether it is freshwater rivers, lakes or vast oceans, this place has been delimited by humans and has become a forbidden land.
The only way to get there is to drive there and walk along the road from the nearest Zhjiang City. There is a cross-sea tunnel there with a cross-sea bridge on it, which is a good choice.
Ordinary people would have almost given up on going from Dguan City to Zhjiang City, but Qi Rui was not an ordinary person. He was very fast, had amazing powers of perception, and had repeatedly avoided dangerous places.
Fortunately, they are all evolvers and will not hold Qi Rui back.
But that's it, Qi Rui spent nearly half a month rushing to Zhjiang City, which is the westernmost edge city of GD Province. However, it is a coastal city, not backward, and still developed.
The tall office buildings can already be seen from the outer ring, but they are a bit dilapidated, making people afraid to imagine the charming city it once was.
There will be individual survivors in every city, and there are always some people who like to bully the weak. They like to bully survivors who come from other cities and seek benefits from them.
They often send people to spread out some people to observe zombies and see if there are any strangers they don't know entering the city. Even if you don't have food, your self-defense weapons, gasoline or the women around you may be robbed by them.
This approach is shameful, but it is also mutually acceptable. After all, every city has limited resources, and no one wants to share the resources equally with others.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Qi Rui chose to walk into the city in the dark, and the evolvers would also be robbed. In a gathering place of survivors, there are always some powerful evolvers who will become the leader.
