After the disaster struck, the climate became extremely strange.
It may be windy and snowy one second, and it may be scorching sun the next second.
In the bookstore next to the Athens Hotel.
A large number of shelves filled with books of all kinds were overturned.
Messy footprints stained with mud and blood can be seen everywhere.
Even the surrounding glass was shattered into pieces.
Qi Lin, covered with snowflakes, strode into the bookstore holding a strange purple flower.
After a brief inspection, Qi Lin picked up a slightly large and heavy book from the messy ground.
Then he walked behind the counter, opened the book, and started cutting into the pages with a knife.
After a while, a hollow square was taken out from inside the book.
Qi Lin placed the hand-drawn map and manuscript inside it.
After closing the book, it is just an ordinary book.
After opening the book, Qi Lin raised the book and asked Heifeng, who was on guard at the door of the bookstore: "Heifeng, take a look and see if there is any problem."
Hearing this, Heifeng turned his head, glanced at the ordinary book raised in Qi Lin's hand and replied, "Hui Huang, it's just an ordinary book."
Qi Lin nodded with satisfaction.
In order to release smoke bombs, the undead will no longer prevent ordinary survivors and ordinary corpse beasts from approaching.
Qi Lin didn't want to use the space ring every now and then, as that might cause unnecessary trouble, such as being motivated by money.
Anyone who sees an empty-handed person conjuring something out of thin air will have some thoughts.
Considering this, Qi Lin simply put some commonly used things, survival supplies, maps, etc. in his backpack.
Although doing this will increase some weight, Qi Lin just treats it as exercise.
Qi Lin then put the books on the counter and began to study the flowers in his hands.
There is also a bunch of small stamens among the purple petals.
There are some claw marks left on the petals next to the stamens.
Qi Lin moved his thumb and index finger slightly, twisting a handful of petals.
"A bit hard, like metal."
"It should be a new thing that appeared after the transformation of the world, eh, a magic plant?"
"I saw some strange plants one after another on the way here. It seems that the transformation of the world has begun to take shape. I don't know what the outside world will look like after the fog clears in six months."
Qi Lin learned from the businessman that the world was being transformed and the air was filled with a large number of free elements.
This kind of metal-like flower gave Qi Lin something to think about.
When he came just now, the big manager, the ghost boss, told him: According to the reports from the surrounding ghosts, some large bees were found flying around.
The fist-sized bee shines with some metallic color.
Especially their many joints are a bit like sharp knives.
They collect some mutated plants and flesh.
However, because it flies everywhere and there are many tall buildings around it, only ghosts that can pass through walls can keep up with it, and its lair has not yet been found.
Qi Lin estimated that these bees might be clues to the demon species near the Athens Hotel.
The clues currently exposed by this demon prove that his memory is correct and it is nearby.
After confirming that no trace of the demon species was found in the bookstore, Qi Lin came here to wait temporarily.
[Level]: 17 (Experience 31.17%) (Bronze level)
Qi Lin glanced at the experience panel on the panel.
Experience is slowly but continuously increasing.
And according to reports from the undead from time to time, their soul fire increases very quickly.
Maybe in two days, those high-level bronze undead will evolve into silver level, which is undoubtedly good news.
Qi Lin also received an additional piece of unexpected good news.
You can obtain props and currency very quickly!
So far, according to reports from the ghosts, Qi Lin has obtained a bottle of physical potion, two bottles of antidote potion, and about dozens of copper coins that he needs.
Compared with before, this harvest is not much better.
If development continues at this rate, the goal of the purple gold coin will be achieved soon.
"Luck's getting better."
Qi Lin clenched his fists and showed a smile.
Even the frowning eyebrows from time to time are no longer so depressed.
It started to look full of vitality.
"The goal now is to hunt down and kill demon species, accumulate currency, and accumulate physical potions."
"Whether it's the key or the location of the big octopus, it requires too much currency."
“Accumulate currency, accumulate currency!”
Qi Lin opened the book, took out the hand-drawn map and began to think about the target of the next stop after the hunting at the Athens Hotel.
His finger slowly moved down the map to the hotel's location.
Below the Athens Hotel is a big red circle.
There are small words on the side: Yintai, cloak of night. We don’t know when the demon species will appear. After arriving, you can send ghosts to wait. The main body continues to move forward, so don’t waste time.
This line of small characters was written by Qi Lin when he was at the top of Shushan Mountain.
In Qi Lin's original plan, Yintai's goal should be solved after a long time.
Because in the memory of the previous life, this target was discovered only after the army entered the city on a large scale.
It was also at that time that the army that had suffered many casualties in order to round up this demon was stolen by a survivor.
"Master, the snow has stopped, would you like to bask in the sun?"
The ghost boss's words made Qi Lin look up at the broken window.
The heavy snow outside has stopped.
Warm sunlight shines on the broken glass shards of the bookstore, reflecting the refracted light.
"Well, I just have nothing to do. Let's go and bask in the sun and do some push-ups."
Qi Lin closed the book, stuffed it into the backpack on his back, and walked out of the bookstore.
Since the special mental training stopped, Qi Lin began to increase his physical training plan.
Although physical training is hard, Qi Lin still persists.
Because this can delay the decline of physical fitness and eliminate some hostility.
Even if it could only clear up a little bit of anger, Qi Lin felt it was worth it.
After the black wind cleared the snow from the door of the bookstore, Qi Lin started his own push-up arrangement.
From an outside perspective, the young man exercising surrounded by snowdrifts seemed very focused.
But only the ghost boss knew that requests from ghosts would arrive in the soul link from time to time, and Qi Lin, who seemed silent on the outside, was exercising while updating instructions.
Beads of sweat quickly covered the thin face under the mask.
Time passed, and an hour later, Qi Lin's exercise ended.
According to his arrangement, after resting for thirty minutes, he will continue to exercise.
Next to him, Heifeng, who was wearing a bloated cotton coat but had a burly figure, had already taken out drinking water and various supplements from his backpack, and offered them to Qi Lin with both hands.
Speaking of which, Black Wind's biological cuticle has another magical effect.
When the black wind activates the magic pattern, the injured parts of the body can be restored by consuming soul fire.
At the same time, he can also generate some biological cuticles in a normal state, thereby firmly sticking his accompanying weapons to his body.
In this regard, the skeletons are not as good as Black Wind.
Just as Qi Lin was eating and replenishing his food, a group of twenty or so survivors came running towards us like bereft dogs.
They looked panicked and turned around to check from time to time, as if they were being chased by some man-eating beast.
Qi Lin had already received the report from Lao Liu and knew that these survivors were being chased by the Blood Ox Corpse Beast.
The latter had died under the scorching arrows of the Death Archer.
After briefly glancing at the survivors, Qi Lin turned around and went to eat by himself, leaving only his back to them.
The group of survivors also discovered Qi Lin and Heifeng sitting next to the snow.
Perhaps Qi Lin and Heifeng's calm demeanor infected them.
The survivors who were already exhausted from running slowly slowed down and started panting heavily to find a suitable resting place.
Someone suggested that they should go to Qi Lin’s bookstore to take a short break because they couldn’t run anymore.
A short survivor glanced at the tall Heifeng, lowered his voice and said to the people around him: "Don't go, don't go."
"Those two dare to stay outside like this and one of them is calm and seems to be eating. I guess they have two brushes."
"The world has changed. It's better to have less contact with them. Let's go around them."
"Then go to the hotel opposite." A survivor suggested: "They are fine here, which means there are no corpse beasts, and there is probably no food in the freezer in the back kitchen of the hotel."
This proposal was quickly unanimously approved by everyone.
When they were chased by the Blood Ox Corpse Beast, they had already discarded unnecessary load-bearing materials just to run faster.
And when they were out of danger, they urgently needed to find supplies to replenish their physical strength.
Lao Jiu, who was flipping through books in the bookstore, heard the movement outside and hurriedly came out.
Lao Jiu, who looked like a loyal dog, floated above Qi Lin, wanting to stare at the group of survivors who rushed into the hotel with tears in his eyes.
"Master! Do you want Lao Jiu to keep an eye on them? Lao Jiu promises to keep an eye on them."
Before Lao Jiu could finish his sincere offer, Qi Lin interrupted through his soul link: "Lao Jiu, if you want to be lazy, just say so."
"Go." Qi Lin said nonchalantly.
Lao Jiu, who doesn't like reading, can never change his bloodthirsty nature. Rather than reading some boring books, Lao Jiu prefers to drag his enemies into the nightmare world and listen to the beautiful wails and screams.
"I understand, Master! Leave the matter of gathering information to Lao Jiu! Master, don't worry!"
Qi Lin waved his hand casually, and Lao Jiu rushed into the hotel impatiently.
He wanted to see if there was a legitimate opportunity to listen to the beautiful voice.
In the hotel, the survivors swarmed into the kitchen, took out some food that could be eaten immediately from the freezer where ingredients were stored, and wolfed it down.
"Give it! Give it!"
"Save some for us!"
The few people at the back pushed forward hard, but when they reached the freezer.
There was only some raw meat left in it that was about to go bad because the freezer had lost power.
The hungry and anxious people didn't mind it, so they quickly grabbed the raw meat and ate it.
One of the men wearing a peaked cap put some pieces of meat into his arms, glanced at the other people around him who were devouring it, and moved slowly and quietly outwards while his footsteps moved slightly.
He had been to this Athens hotel. The hotel that hosted wedding banquets had guest rooms on the top two floors.
In the guest rooms, there will be some drinking water and easy-to-carry instant noodles, etc.
A man with a big back who was devouring food saw this scene and quietly pulled a woman with peach blossom eyes next to him.
"Let's go, there are good things up there."
When the woman heard the man's words, her impatience suddenly became clear.
As the two left.
The rest of the people also slowly came back to their senses.
“Why do I remember that there are guest rooms above this hotel?”
A survivor who was hiccupping slumped on the ground and said, but he soon realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Everyone who looked at each other rushed to the guest room upstairs and began to plunder all available supplies.
But they were already too late.
The first three people have already packed up all the materials that can be used here.
"Old Wang, you two are a bit unethical!"
"You should leave some for us, right?"
"That's right, we all belong to the same neighborhood and have been surviving since the disaster. How much should we share equally?"
People who were not worried about the scarcity but the inequality were talking about the three people.
The man surnamed Wang among the three people took off the sheets from his back and opened them.
"Just these five bottles of water and three buckets of instant noodles, how do we divide it among the more than 20 people?"
The room was narrow, and several people who were blocked in the corridor pulled at the door frame and shouted: "Split evenly!"
The man surnamed Wang sneered and said generously: "The two of us will leave a bottle of water and a bucket of instant noodles, and you can share the rest equally."
After that, the man surnamed Wang, who had already hidden some supplies, picked up a bottle of water and instant noodles, pulled the peach-eyed woman and walked out.
The man in the peaked cap in the room also left most of the supplies and left with the couple.
The only people left in the room were looking at each other.
Fortunately, everyone had almost enough to eat at the moment, and they did not fight or rob the neighbors who worked together to survive after the disaster.
After a friendly exchange, some of the people were given a small piece of bread, and some were given a few sips of drinking water.
Except for the seasoning packets in the barreled instant noodles, all the materials entered their stomachs again.
There is actually not much shortage of supplies at the moment.
There are still a lot of supplies left in some buildings.
But the people who fled along the way were already too frightened to look for them in those silent shops.
If I hadn't discovered Qi Lin and the two of them eating carelessly nearby.
They didn't even have the guts to enter this hotel, so they just kept running, dragging their numb and hungry bodies.
They who were at lower levels were completely frightened in front of the high-level corpse beasts.
Those things carry toxins, and once they are injured, death will be waiting for them.
Everyone gathered in the hotel lobby again and began to discuss where to go next.
They were originally going to the Beicheng Safety Zone, which was protected by the army. I heard that the highest-ranking major general was already at level 12.
Everyone thought it might be a good idea to seek shelter there.
But as a result, I met a camouflage uniform on the way.
According to the camouflage uniforms, a large safety zone has been established in the southeast.
That's where the army's headquarters is.
As long as you go there, everyone will have a job and everyone will have enough to eat!
And there is Major Qin Youde, the highest-ranking person in Nanzhili, guarding there!
Its level has reached level thirteen!
Comparing the two, everyone prepared to take advantage of the decrease in corpse beasts to go to the southeast safe zone.
But who would have ever thought of encountering a blood-cow corpse beast halfway!
If it weren't for the Skeleton Man's rocket, they would probably all be finished.
"Hey, there were more than 60 people who ran away from the community, and now there are more than 20 of us."
"This is such a shitty world."
A survivor leaned against the window, looking a little sad.
Everyone was silent.
"I have pity on Lao Wang's nephew Xiaolu. That child is so filial. He carried his blind mother on his back for so long but still... ugh!"
"And Brother Qiao is also dead."
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was a little heavy.
The man in the peaked hat looked at Qi Lin who was doing push-ups outside the window, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Okay, okay, if you die, you will die. In this world, there is no guarantee that we will be the next to die!"
"With this feeling of remembrance, why not think about what we will do next, where will we go?"
"We can't go to the southeastern safe zone. It's too far. If we encounter a corpse beast on the way, we can't bear it."
Someone said: "How about we follow the skeleton of the skeleton and gain experience to upgrade?"
During this period of time, many survivors have been protected by Qi Lin invisibly.
The undead wandering around gave them a great sense of security.
Even some brave survivors can sometimes gain click-kill experience.
Among the survivors in Shushan District, the skeleton that killed the corpse beast has become their patron saint.
"We have to upgrade quickly. It won't be a problem if we keep running like this."
"However, those skeletons have traveled too far now and are too scattered, making it difficult to follow them."
Since Qi Lin updated the Blossoming 3.0 plan, these survivors have had their share of joys and sorrows.
Fortunately, they can go to those supermarkets to get the survival supplies they need to survive.
The corpse beasts lurking there were all killed by the skeletons.
But the worry is that it is difficult for some survivors to gain experience again.
Even for survivors who found guns from certain buildings, it was difficult for them to gain assist experience as the undead quickly evolved to kill corpse beasts instantly.
"It's fortunate that there are skeletons in our Shushan District, otherwise many people would have died."
"Everyone is very tired. We probably won't be able to run anymore. How about we rest here for the night, and then we can look for those skeletons tomorrow to see if we can gain experience."
Everyone said something to me one after another.
"You can't stay here for long. The flaming skeleton just made a bit of a noise, and it might attract other mutants."
"Speaking of which, that skeleton is really awesome!"
"Such a big blood-ox corpse beast was taken away with just one rocket. How awesome!"
"It's okay to rest for a night. We can also wait for the skeletons to kill those corpse beasts, so we can get some food."
"Yes, if you leave now, go ahead. I can't run anyway." A survivor who was lying on the ground cried out, touching his bulging belly.
"I think there's nothing wrong with staying one night. Look at the two people outside, one is doing push-ups and the other is standing there like a log. I think they are quite brave and they should have something."
In the end, the group decided to rest here for the night after voting by a show of hands.
I'll go out to look for supplies tomorrow and look for skeletons to gain experience.
There was harmony, and everyone was silent for a moment while discussing how to survive.
Soon there were new disagreements.
