Although the search and rescue team was civilian, it was quite capable. They drove more than a dozen armored troop carriers and left through the tunnel-like gate on the 30th floor.
Zhao Wuji and several other family members of the accident crowded into a car, and they did not receive preferential treatment and protection like those relatives who contributed money.
"Someone in your family had an accident?"
There are gossips everywhere
"Peng"
"Snapped"
Zhao Wuji felt dizzy for several times.
"TMD, we were attacked less than half a kilometer away from the city."
Zhao Wuji raised his head and looked at the snowy peak high above.
"Fortunately, this car has an anti-fall device, otherwise everything would be over"
Zhao Wuji didn't know what kind of materials this high-tech personnel carrier was made of. The moment it fell, the airbags could pop up on both the inner and outer layers. In the end, the outer layer of the vehicle was broken, but the inner layer was fine when people were there.
"Now there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
The team leader of the search and rescue team told everyone
"Listen up"
Several people who were still in shock quickly said:
“The good thing is that we are now less than two kilometers away from the city.”
"What about the bad ones?"
"The bad thing is that this distance is an altitude distance. We rolled down from the ground level to this valley with no city entrances and exits. We can only return to the city by climbing up."
"ah..."
"Ah, ah..."
"Ah, ah, ah..."
"Okay, let's face reality."
"In name, you are a member of the search and rescue team. We confiscate your money, so naturally we have no obligation to help you return to the city."
"But you can follow us back."
"You can also continue the search and rescue, follow us, or have dinner in the city."
"If you leave us, if you encounter a powerful monster, it will only depend on fate."
"Tell me, how do you choose?"
The entire troop carrier armored vehicle team, except Zhao Wuji, all asked to return to the city.
"Zhao Wuji, actually you don't need to be brave. We can come out again after we return to the city."
"Ignore him, hurry up and return to the city"
"It's not easy to sweep away the monsters in our lower valley. Didn't you notice that there is no news from the other cars?"
"You are too worried. After leaving the city, all high-tech communications are affected by the geomagnetic field and are difficult to use."
Zhao Wuji glanced at a few people, then silently picked up his backpack, holding two simple knives in his hands, and walked out along the canyon.
"This man is so fierce. What's his background?"
"I don't know. Climb up quickly and try to get back to the city before sunset, otherwise the danger will increase greatly."
Based on this month's study, Zhao Wuji knew that hundreds of years had passed since the fifth nuclear war. Nuclear pollution has been greatly reduced under the influence of monsters and mutant plants. Several years ago, humans could breathe normally outside Pearl City. No more anti-pollution masks.
"who?"
Zhao Wuji suddenly sensed a creature approaching in his water magic, but he couldn't see it clearly with his vision, so he swung two knives based on his feeling.
Pale white blood instantly spread all over the floor, and a humanoid creature was chopped down a few feet away.
Zhao Wuji stepped forward cautiously.
An almost translucent and semi-white human figure fell in the snow, difficult to see clearly with the naked eye, almost invisible.
"manpower?"
Zhao Wuji looked at the food residue flowing out of the invisible creature's slashed stomach.
"Could this be the mutant in the mutant creature introduction manual? One of the high-risk species near Pearl City?"
"The human hand in his belly belongs to an ordinary person and was just eaten?"
"Did someone in the search and rescue team get eaten?"
Zhao Wuji suddenly felt a sudden sound of wind behind him, and a wild wolf rolled. However, he still felt a heavy blow on his back. He used water magic to sense it and opened his bow left and right to strike twice.
Another translucent and semi-white mutant was chopped to the ground.
"A man and a woman?"
After Zhao Wuji sensed that there was no danger around him, he checked.
"Ice blade? Mutant Dantian and demon core?"
“Definitely a tough one.”
After Zhao Wuji figured it out, he dug up the demon cores of two mutants and threw them into the Muxu space, then ran all the way back to the point where the armored vehicle fell.
Looking at the severed limbs and arms on the ground beside the armored vehicle, Zhao Wuji almost vomited.
"What happened? Is there an ambush?"
Zhao Wuji sensed that there were creatures approaching from all around, and used two sharp knives in conjunction with the water magic sensor to output with all their strength.
The battle ended soon
Zhao Wuji worriedly used water magic to sense the surroundings while thinking secretly.
"There are a total of 6 here, including the ones who attacked me, a total of 8, which is exactly 2 more than our crash team."
"A planned, organized, or premeditated attack on our team?"
Zhao Wuji was startled again and climbed up using water magic on his hands and feet.
Maybe the mutants didn't dare to come again, or maybe Zhao Wuji was lucky and finally passed the inspection of the six-layer iron gate and entered Zhucheng smoothly before sunset.
"You are the only one in your car who survived?"
"Um"
"What about the rest?"
"Everyone is dead"
"Well, a car came back in front of you and said you might all be dead."
"Ah, why don't you go out and save people?"
Zhao Wuji was angry
Because that car must have come back very early.
If the city sent people to rescue immediately, it would be very possible to rescue Zhao Wuji and the people in the car.
"An angry young man will escape death if he leaves the city."
“Most of us have never left the city in our lives.”
"Go home, you'll get used to it from now on"
"What are you angry about, angry young man?"
"Don't talk about him like that. It's normal for young people to be frightened."
Zhao Wuji didn't listen anymore and walked helplessly on the street on the 30th floor.
“Online news is too distorted”
“Although it’s not good to scare people who will never leave the city for their entire lives, it’s always good to release more information.”
Zhao Wuji thought as he walked into a drugstore that said "Recycle Demon Cores".
"How to buy and sell this demon core?"
"100,000 pieces"
"ah"
"Ah, my store has the highest bid. If you don't like it, you can go to the stores next to it."
Zhao Wuji used the memory reset skill on the boss, knowing that these mutant human demon cores were more valuable than ordinary demon cores, and the higher the store's purchase price, the higher the price.
"Okay, then I'll go to another store. Goodbye."
"200,000 a piece?"
"Why is this thing so valuable?"
"Can help with cultivation"
Zhao Wuji continued to use memory reset skills to communicate, and finally learned that this mutated human demon core could permanently increase the upper limit of human health.
“There are really a lot of things that the officials are hiding.”
"Okay, I'm leaving then"
"250,000 pieces"
"Okay, you want to give me a book of Star-Absorbing Techniques"
"Ah, it turns out you are not a novice, but an expert."
Zhao Wuji originally didn't want to sell the demon core, but he owed Ji Ruchun a lot of money, so he sold one anyway, then found a hunter's hotel to stay in, and began to use the star-absorbing method to absorb the demon core.
An hour passed, and the small screen displayed
Qi and blood: 160
Energy: 160
Superpower: Water Essence+
Kung Fu: Nine Yin Manual, Star Absorbing Technique
"Awesome, that's what it is"
"Ding dong ding dong"
Zhao Wuji opened the door and saw a police officer outside.
"Zhao Wuji, whose real name is Zhao Xiaoji?"
"Um"
"Someone reported you for selling demon core to pharmacies. Where did your demon core come from?"
"Ah, can't we sell it to pharmacies? I picked it up outside the city."
"Haha, it can be sold, but it can only be sold to official pharmacies. You only went out once and picked up a demon core?"
"Yes"
"Next time, remember to sell to an official pharmacy. This time it's just a warning. Next time you will be fined. If you do three times, you will be detained administratively. Do you understand?"
"Understood, I promise there will be no next time"
"Okay, then we will listen to your words and watch your actions."
Zhao Wuji terminated the memory reset skill exchange
It turns out that this demon core is a semi-controlled material and can be bought and sold, but only through official channels.
"It is a waste for ordinary people to use it for cultivation, and the absorption rate is less than 1%, so it is more cost-effective to sell it to official pharmacies in exchange for Qi and blood supplements."
Zhao Wuji did not doubt the information revealed by the police officer after his memory was repeatedly reset.
"Is it because I practiced the Nine Yin Manual? Or is it the effect of the water essence's superpower?"
Zhao Wuji thought as he got into the elevator and returned home to use the local area network to research this information.
"How few. Is there some danger that we can't let ordinary people know about?"
"Jingle Bell"
"Zhao Xiaoji, have you returned to the city?"
"Can I hear your call if I don't go back to the city?"
"Well, I'll come find you?"
"It's not good to be alone and alone. Let's just meet at a fast food restaurant."
"Um"
Zhao Wuji packed up the black technology soft armor that needed to be returned to Ji Ruchun, packed it up and took it to the fast food restaurant.
"You're not going to leave the city anymore"
"I'll just buy a set of ordinary steel armor."
"You'd better use it"
"No, you will be scolded by everyone at home."
"You're over 80 in martial arts, I won't be scolded anymore."
Ji Ruchun's voice sounded like a mosquito. Zhao Wuji didn't refine the demon core, so he might not be able to hear it.
"Why is the demon core so valuable?"
"It is said to be the raw material for making various elixirs, and it is extremely difficult to obtain."
"ah"
Zhao Wuji used the memory reset skill to communicate for a while, and then he realized that he had hit the jackpot by being able to harvest so many demon cores at once.
Moreover, refining demon cores for ordinary people is not only inefficient, but also involves the risk of demonization, so most people sell them to the authorities.
"My family is also qualified to buy and sell demon cores. Do you want to go and have a look?"
“I’m too tired today, let’s try another day.”
"Don't worry too much about your parents. It's a military transport plane. Even if it crashes, the lives of the people inside are guaranteed to be safe. If it's just an emergency landing, the risk is even smaller."
“I don’t know what happened to the two military search and rescue teams.”
"They went out in tanks, which are safer than your armored vehicles. I heard that you came back when you encountered danger. What danger did you encounter?"
Zhao Wuji signed a confidentiality agreement with the official and could not disclose the details. He could only say vaguely.
"Encountered a mutant"
"Ah, that is indeed dangerous. Mutants have intelligence no less than that of humans, and they can also make weapons. When ordinary people encounter it, they will..."
As expected, the official had a reason to block the news, so Zhao Wuji had no choice but to use the memory reset skill to erase Ji Ruchun's memory.
"Encountered a mutant beast"
"Well, if you can, don't leave the city in the future. It's not your parents' fault this time. I would advise you not to join the search and rescue team and go out of the city."
"Thanks"
"Come and see me tomorrow when you are free."
"Okay"
After Zhao Wuji said goodbye to Ji Ruchun, he returned home and continued to practice the Nine Yin Manual to consolidate his realm.
Unconsciously, I saw the rising sun through the small transparent window.
Qi and blood: 160+
Energy: 160+
Superpower: Water Essence+
Kung Fu: Nine Yin Manual, Star Absorbing Technique
Seeing the plus sign, Zhao Wuji understood that his realm had stabilized.
"With the current state, I should be able to get into the top three in Zhucheng's college entrance examination in martial arts."
The LAN data in the city showed that this place, also called the Earth, was like a several-fold enlarged version of Zhao Wuji's previous Earth.
"It's a pity that I haven't read this script and don't know how the main plot develops."
"Ding-a-ling, jingle-a-ling"
Zhao Wuji turned on his cell phone, which could only make calls in the city.
"Wu Ji, I'm downstairs at your house. Do you want to come down and have breakfast together?"
"OK, all right"
Ji Ruchun was wearing a white skirt, looking delicate and charming.
But Zhao Wuji knew that this was an illusion.
Ji Ruchun's blood limit reached 100+ a few years ago, and he must be quite powerful now. It's just that the official value of this script is locked at the upper limit of 100.
"My dad told me, don't worry about your parents."
"Um"
After the two had breakfast, they went to the weapons and equipment store owned by Ji Ruchun's family.
"The name Zhao Wuji sounds much better."
"Thank you uncle for the compliment"
"I heard that your blood level is over 80?"
"Yes, uncle"
"It's obtained through normal practice, right?"
"Yes, uncle"
"I think so"
Ji's father patted Zhao Wuji's shoulder seriously.
"Well, as a man, although you don't have to stand out, it is better to be able to fight than to study purely in liberal arts.
"Yes, uncle"
"I asked my comrades about the search and rescue team, and they said that according to satellite images, the plane made an emergency landing on the water."
"Can I join the search and rescue team again?"
"No, not many people from the civilian search and rescue team can come back this time. It is said that they were ambushed by mutants. In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, we will not leave the city unless necessary."
"Um"
"It's because of your parents' blessing that you can come back alive."
"The armor has contributed a lot, this is my rental fee."
"I won't charge you the fees. Be kind to Ji Ruchun from now on. She is better at martial arts than you, and you are better at liberal arts than her. We must know how to appreciate each other."
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Ji Ruchun, who was standing next to him, blushed a little and asked to stop.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk anymore. You go to the school and have a look. I heard that your school is going to hold a lecture on beast tides. Go ahead and go."
Ji's father lovingly pushed the two of them out of the weapons store.
"Your father used to be a soldier?"
"Yes, it's the same as your dad. Your dad is in the Central Army and my dad is in the local army."
Zhao Wuji was a little confused about the military system of this script. Why was it not the army and the militia?
