The appearance of these mutated animals is very strange. They look like a hybrid of a giraffe and a cow, with necks more than 1 meter long. The largest one is more than five meters tall. Judging from the fluctuations in supernatural power, it is at least level ten. The stranger-looking mutant animals are, the more powerful they are and the better they drop. It's a pity that there is no place nearby where monsters can get stuck. Bai Zhi felt that she couldn't handle seven by herself.
She reluctantly avoided these mutated animals, which in her eyes were labeled as elite monsters and easy to drop. She adjusted her direction and walked westward, crossing the grassy hillside. She climbed over the steep mountain top with great effort, and walked against the howling north wind. . The dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, and the sunlight fell on the grassy beach. Bai Zhi was confused by the westward sun in her direction. It's only been more than three hours since dawn. The sun shouldn't be in the west. Could it be that she went in the wrong direction? She cautiously remembered that there was a bush of weeds as tall as a person three steps away on her left. She turned around 360 degrees, and finally discovered to her dismay that she was indeed lost.
Since you are lost, you have to admit it and wait for the sun to rise to the middle before looking for the direction. Bai Zhi sat down on the spot, took out a textbook, flipped through the table of contents, checked the parts that might be useful, opened it, and memorized it silently. Wait until the sun is high above your head, then reorient yourself and head west. When it was dark, she passed a small town and compared the location of the town on the map. She was pleased to find that she did not go in the wrong direction this time. This town is indeed located to the west of Xining, two hundred kilometers away from Xining.
Bai Zhi chose a house and jumped over the wall. She found that the fire pit in the living room of this house was still warm. The furniture in the house was broken into pieces and stacked neatly in the corner. There was a hiking bag in the inner room near the door.
This place is already occupied.
Bai Zhi retreated to the courtyard, and a group of people walked by outside the wall, arguing loudly as they walked. Bai Zhi coughed a few times to indicate that there was someone inside.
"Can't go!" The female voice that spoke was very familiar. This is Aunt Ding who talked to her that night at the top of Lone Peak.
"The people who went there have all had their abilities upgraded! They gave them a place to live and took care of their food!" The man's voice was particularly loud, "There are hundreds of people there now! It's too late for us to go now. Some people have already been promoted to level seven. Level seven!"
"You can go if you want! I won't stop you. You can go wherever you want!" Aunt Ding's voice was both angry and frustrated. "The faster we rise, the greater the side effects. Of course we need to improve our strength, but in the face of unknown new Things, be careful!”
"The earlier we go, the greater the benefits. People no longer want people with powers below level four. If we had gone a few days earlier, everyone would be able to have level four." The man shouted angrily: "Old Ding, yours Be careful not to hold everyone back.”
"Who, who's in there?" Aunt Ding finally heard the coughing and asked loudly.
"Aunt Ding, it's me." Bai Zhi jumped to the wall and smiled at Aunt Ding, "I just passed by and thought there was no one here."
"It's you." Aunt Ding nodded, "Where are your friends?"
"I came out alone to do some errands." Bai Zhi jumped off the wall and smiled at the people around Aunt Ding. "I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation. I will find another place to live in the town for disturbing you."
"You can live with me." Aunt Ding pointed to the wall, "This is my residence. You can go in and rest first."
Bai Zhi nodded and thanked her for climbing over the wall and entering the house. The people outside the wall talked in lowered voices, and the voices became louder and louder, and finally they broke up unhappy. Aunt Ding came in alone, sat by the fire pit, sighed tiredly, and asked Bai Zhi: "Does superpower make you feel powerful?"
"It seems impossible." Bai Zhi smiled bitterly, "Many of the mutated animals and mutated zombies are much more powerful than a single superpower."
"The changes now are too fast and scary. Everyone is crazy and wants to become stronger. If things go too fast, problems will arise."
"Did Aunt Ding say they went to the valley where mutated animals and zombies gather?" Bai Zhi asked curiously: "Is there a problem with that?"
Aunt Ding nodded sadly, "After millions of years of evolution, human beings are only relatively stable and harmonious. In just a few months, they want to break through the limits. It's so imaginative."
"But if we miss this opportunity, mutated animals will be very powerful in the future. What will humans do?" Although Bai Zhi thinks that Aunt Ding's concerns are reasonable, she also feels that this opportunity should not be missed. At least she has not had any problems since she upgraded.
"They will also have problems." Aunt Ding showed a tired smile, "Being strong always comes with a price."
"Yes." Bai Zhi nodded. The pain caused by the fatal blow was the price she paid. "I was still feeling uncomfortable and missed a good opportunity to be powerful. Auntie said this, and I feel much better now."
"You," Aunt Ding looked Bai Zhi up and down, "you haven't noticed the changes in yourself?"
Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment and understood what Aunt Ding was referring to. She nodded gently, "I found it."
"What are you going to do? Maybe Auntie will ask you something that will make you sad. Does he know?" Aunt Ding sighed softly. This girl has already explained the problem alone.
"He doesn't know, and I don't plan to let him know." Bai Zhi bit her lip, "Auntie, is this what you told me last time?"
Aunt Ding nodded, "Do you want to... give birth?"
Bai Zhi shook her head subconsciously.
"Do you need help?" Aunt Ding sighed, "Maybe you need to think again."
"I've decided, I just don't know how to do it." Bai Zhi said in embarrassment, "I want to solve it myself."
"You can't do it yourself." Aunt Ding took Bai Zhi's hand and felt her pulse for a while, "It's not too late, I can help you."
"What should I do?" Bai Zhi decided to take a gamble and trust Aunt Ding.
"You don't have to do anything, just relax your body, it might hurt." Aunt Ding stood up, went into the room and found a basin and threw it at her feet. She found an old newspaper and covered it with the edge of the basin. "Take some protective measures. "
Bai Zhi went into the inner room and closed the door. After a while, she came out and stood upright opposite Aunt Ding, at a loss. Although she was determined not to want it, it would be difficult for her to face it starting now.
Aunt Ding smiled at her and said, "Relax and tell me your happiest thing."
"When I was in the first grade of junior high school, I won first place in a competition." Bai Zhi tried her best to smile. The whole family came to cheer her on in that competition. When she showed the medal to her family, her third brother smiled even more proudly than she did.
"Is there more?" Aunt Ding had sweat on her forehead, her face turned pale, and she looked extremely labored.
"After Xiaoqi's health recovered, I took him hiking for the first time. My third brother won the first place in the Mathematical Olympiad, and grandpa bought him a motorcycle that he liked. Bai Wei got into a good high school..." Bai Zhi exclaimed softly, After taking two steps back, she felt pain. The invisible hand grabbed twice hard inside her body, taking away a part of her life. Bai Zhi took two steps forward and breathed lightly. She could clearly feel that there was a part of her in the basin covered with old newspapers.
It hurts, not just physically. Bai Zhi looked at the basin in a daze.
Aunt Ding let out a long sigh and said, "As I get older, it becomes more and more difficult to use my powers. Take that basin out and burn it."
Angelica dahurica pops up a fireball, and the entire basin burns to black ashes. She was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses and asked, "Is this done?"
"No more." Aunt Ding wiped the sweat from her forehead, "You have to be careful in the future."
Bai Zhi nodded silently, sat blankly for a while, and thanked Aunt Ding.
"No need to thank me. You saved our lives that night. We are clean." Aunt Ding seemed to have aged several years, and her voice was much deeper. "What did you plan to do yourself?"
"Find out the structure, find it and cut it into pieces." Bai Zhi said in a calm tone, as if she was talking about cutting an apple, "Aunt Ding, I'm going to get something for you to eat."
Aunt Ding looked at Bai Zhi blankly. After the end of the world, she traveled westward. She used this power to help many people deal with similar troubles. This was the first time she met such a girl. She was obviously reluctant to let go, but she still decided not to give up. If she had been alone People are really capable of cutting things off with one knife. Aunt Ding sighed softly.
Bai Zhi walked around in the kitchen, got a kettle and cooked porridge in the fire pit, and moved firewood to add fuel to the fire, without any awareness of herself as a woman.
"Girl, come on, let's talk." Aunt Ding patted the bench next to her and pulled Bai Zhi to sit down. "Your trouble is solved, will you go back to find him?"
Bai Zhi shook her head gently.
"Continue alone?" Aunt Ding sighed again.
"Yeah. I think I can do it alone." Bai Zhi smiled bitterly, "I thought too much about things... I should have been alone a long time ago."
The fire in the fire pit became smaller and smaller, and Bai Zhi simply flicked a fireball and stopped it under the kettle. Aunt Ding wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing. After the porridge was boiled, Bai Zhi filled a small bowl for herself, poured the rest into a big bowl, and even put the pot on Aunt Ding's side. At night they rested by the firepit, neither of them slept well. Bai Zhi remained silent. Aunt Ding didn't comfort her either.
After breakfast the next day, Aunt Ding took Bai Zhi's pulse again and told her to rest and supplement her nutrition. Bai Zhi nodded in agreement, said goodbye and left.
Not long after she left, the group of six found the town. Aunt Ding is the only one in the whole town. The crew-cut man asked Aunt Ding politely if she had seen such a girl. Aunt Ding pointed to the place where Bai Zhi spent the night by the fire pond and said, "She slept there last night. She cooked me a pot of noodles in the morning before leaving. She said she was going home."
"Auntie, has she mentioned where her home is?" When the crew-cut man was greeting Aunt Ding, he noticed that his subordinate made a "yes" gesture, confirming that Gu Baizhi had just left not long ago.
"Is she from Hangzhuang? She didn't say it. It sounded like the accent from that area." Aunt Ding seemed to have just remembered, and asked, "What are you looking for her for?"
"She had a little conflict with our team members." The crew-cut man pulled the reluctant Hong Xingran out to block the gun, and said with a sorry smile: "It's this bastard who lost his popularity. Let's take him to find someone. Apologize. Auntie, where is she now?"
If the crew-cut man asked him seriously, Aunt Ding would at best insist that she didn't know. As soon as he started talking nonsense, Aunt Ding pointed him in the wrong direction. It was obvious that Bai Zhi was walking towards the west, so she pointed southward with all the enthusiasm of a neighborhood committee aunt, swearing that the girl was walking towards the south.
That's what lying is all about. Nine lines of truth combined with one key lie can trick people into hitting the wall. Hong Xing had a dark face, suppressed his laughter and walked southward. The crew-cut man walked for more than an hour and felt something was wrong. He said, "Gu Baizhi walked three or four times on the grassy beach yesterday. Today she can accurately find the south? How about we go around here in circles?"
Hong Xingluan took it seriously, and while circling around, he sent a message to Bai Zhi, saying that he had just come out of the place where she spent the night, and told her not to run towards the south or east.
They were chasing so closely that walking on two legs was impossible to get away from them. But there was no car in her backpack that could be driven. Bai Zhi hesitated for a moment, then took out the electric car and fully charged it, then rode the electric car on the main road and turned on the highway.
Bai Zhi rode on the highway for seven or eight hours without encountering a moving car. She was terribly tired. Looking back at the way she came, there were no pedestrians on the highway.
Bai Zhi safely stuffed the electric power into her backpack, flew behind a stone hill, found a hidden stone crevice and teleported into the gang's territory, took out a RV and placed it in the middle of the square, where she could take a bath and eat. She ate a few peaches and a small bowl of porridge for dinner.
A comfortable environment can easily break people's will. Bai Zhi rinsed the pot, put on her coat, packed the single tent and the necessary camping facilities, and quickly teleported out.
When she entered the gang territory, the sky was bright, but when she came out an hour later, the surrounding areas were already dark. Bai Zhi walked around the stone hill, placed the tent out of sight, got into the tent, curled up into a ball, and fell asleep in extreme fatigue.
The flat-headed man wandered around the wasteland for two or three hours and finally found his way back. He went back to the town to look for clues. The town has been set on fire. Hong Xingluan kindly suggested going back to Xining City for a visit. The flat-headed man was very alert this time and asked Hong Xingran to teleport them directly back to the camp to report the situation to Captain Qi.
The four-person team spent the day hunting monsters, and at night they returned to the camp, took a shower, and fell asleep without even speaking to anyone. Captain Qi couldn't ask anything from the mouth of Xie Tian, who lived with him. Let's talk to the four of them. They didn't say a word or anything. Captain Qi had a lot of emotional and responsibility cards in his hand and couldn't play any of them. Hai Fengqiu, who used to have a very positive attitude, is now so uncooperative that it's a headache. When asked to help use space but transport supplies, he didn't even bother to say "no" and threw out a dry "no", which can turn people off. Choked to death.
Captain Qi thought for a long time, then sent the crew-cut man out to continue the search. He grabbed Hong Xing and had a heart-to-heart talk, intending to find a breakthrough in him and asked him, "Where do you think this little Gu went?"
"I'm not familiar with her, so I don't dare to guess." Hong Xingluan said honestly: "I would be happy to cooperate with my superiors and get to know her in depth, but I'm afraid that she will be like that person and think that I like her after just a few words. She. That’s why I never dared to provoke her.”
Captain Qi ignored Hong Xing's random attempts to lead him astray, and said with a straight face, "What are those guys thinking, are they really determined to break up?"
"Right." After Hong Xing had fooled Captain Qi, he took the time to sense Bai Zhi. Classmate Bai Xiaozhi was slowly heading west on the highway. Behind them, a large group of men with crew cut heads also headed that way. Hong Xingran felt a headache. He had clearly asked Bai Zhi to hide in Xinjiang City for a while. Why was she running westward?
When he was resting in the evening, he put out the thank you and said to Haifengqiu: "You guys, no matter how generous you are, it's time to give birth. Are you really not going to find Bai Zhi?"
"I'm not looking for you." Yue Dongting rushed to answer, "We've broken up."
"You go ahead." Hong Xing pushed him away, "I'll ask them."
Neither of them spoke.
"She drives like a bulldozer. She's lost and confused. She doesn't know any anti-tracking or anti-reconnaissance methods. You just let her run around outside alone while you work on upgrading." Hong Xing made a fuss. "She is blind and wants to be friends with you."
"She told us that she would go out alone to relax and she would be back in three or four days." Zhang Tianzhao's anger exploded, and the power fluctuations soared from level five to level ten and were still rising. "As a result, she refused to come back when the time came. He even broke up with us and stopped being friends."
Hong Xinglan was suppressed by his momentum and took several steps back. He took a deep breath and said, "Damn it, what level are you at?"
Hai Fengqiu patted Zhang Tianzhao on the shoulder to block his fluctuations, "It's Bai Zhi who is causing trouble. She is still angry. It's best to let her calm down. You can't find her. We are not worried about this."
"I understand, she doesn't want you two anymore." Hong Xinglan chuckled, "Nancheng, I'm going out."
Ji Nancheng got up from the upper bunk and waved to Hong Xing to show that he understood. A white light flashed, and Hong Xingran teleported outside Bai Zhi's tent. From the hot tent to the drafty Gobi Desert, Hong Xing sneezed coldly.
Bai Zhi woke up, first threw a thunder ball and then summoned the thunder blade.
"'Stop, it's me!'" Hong Xingran resisted the thunder ball, "Bai Zhi, why are you in this damn place, sneeze!"
Bai Zhi recognized Hong Xinglan's voice, put on her clothes and rolled up her sleeping bag before letting him in. Hong Xing came in and hugged the sleeping bag, still shivering from the cold.
"Don't you need my permission for your transmission?" Bai Zhi narrowed her eyes at him, very annoyed.
"No." Hong Xing chuckled, "Don't be angry. It's urgent. I'm really anxious. The first group of pursuers will arrive in two hours."
Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, and decided not to argue with him about the unauthorized transmission. She took out twenty bottles of blue medicine and gave it to him, "Thank you for reminding me last time."
Under the lightning, Bai Zhi's face was extremely pale, with sweat on her forehead, and she looked very haggard. Hong Xing randomly put the blue bottle into his pocket, returned the sleeping bag to her, and said, "It's really cold here. How about I take you to a different place to rest?"
"No. I'm afraid I won't be able to find the direction after moving." Bai Zhi took out a cloak and gave it to him, "I'm not afraid of the cold. The temperature in the tent may be a bit low for you."
"Level 6 heroes are on the road and will catch up with you soon." Hong Xing wrapped his cloak around him, sighed comfortably, took out a blue bottle and drank a gulp of it, "You can't run away with those two legs, I Send you back to Shanghai?"
"I still have something to do." Bai Zhi smiled at him, "I'm not going back now."
"Are you alone?" Hong Xing frowned, "You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days. If you sleep on the side of the road like you, you can catch one. If you are really detained, you are not what you think. You can run away if you want. You can run out. Wherever you want to go, can I take you there?"
"Kunlun Ruins, can you send me there?" Bai Zhi smiled, "Why are you in a daze?"
"Do you believe this?" Hong Xinglan got to know Bai Zhi again, "Do you believe there is Kunlun Ruins?"
"Letter. I just can't find the entrance." Bai Zhi yawned, "It's okay, can you leave? That cloak counts as your deposit for the next shipment. I should run away."
"The entrance to Kunlun Ruins hasn't been opened yet. You can't get in now. Pack your things and I'll take you to the area. There are a lot of people hiding there, and you won't be too many." When Hong Xing said this randomly, I feel like I have good guy cards all over my body.
He took Bai Zhi and teleported to the edge of a candlelit town, entered a small hotel, opened the basement door, invited Bai Zhi to go in, locked the door and bolted it, saying: "It may take a month before the entrance is opened. I'll take Come here, your reward is to explore the Kunlun Ruins with the rest of us, how about that?"
"I can give you other rewards, but we can't explore together." Bai Zhi smiled at him, "I want to play alone."
"It's okay to be an ally." Hong Xingluan never thought that Bai Zhi would really agree to be his partner, "This place is a little chaotic, but you should be able to handle it. I won't come until the day the entrance opens. Here we are. Let’s discuss the distribution of interests among our peers. If I don’t come, you can figure it out yourself.”
"I owe you a favor. If you have any requests, feel free to ask." Bai Zhi thanked him.
"You're welcome, you bought a ticket on the bus." Hong Xing shook his cloak and teleported away with a slight flash of white light.
Bai Zhi breathed out softly, spread a mat in the corner, sat cross-legged and rested. She could sense the existence of a thunder crystal, and there was nothing she could do about it no matter how far away it was. But the presence of Haifengqiu and Zhang Tianzhao is still very obvious. Since she can find them easily and can sense the existence of thunder crystals, it means that the distance between her and them is not too far. If they can't find them by themselves, Yue Dongting will teleport the day before the entrance to Kunlun Ruins opens for Yue Dongting's sake. It would be very convenient to go back and bring them here, so you don’t have to worry about them now.
The only light in this basement comes from the light coming from the ventilation window, which is no bigger than Bai Zhi's face. Angelica dahurica sticks to the window and looks out. There is a low bench outside the breathable window. It is very convenient to see the outside from the inside. It is estimated that people standing on the street will not notice this small breathable window unless they move the bench and squat down to take a look. of.
There was actually a grocery store open on the small street outside, and the light came from the glass door of that store. There were several dark figures huddled together at the door of the grocery store talking loudly. Bai Zhi couldn't understand their dialect, but she could sense their power fluctuations. Three of them had only passed level 4, one was close to level 5, and the other was already level 5. . Judging from the volume of these people's voices, it can be inferred that they still take level 4 and 5 abilities seriously.
With a faint light, Bai Zhi found a wooden board in the basement, which was perfect for blocking the ventilation window. Bai Zhi was still afraid of the light, so she put a black T on the outside of the wooden board and then popped up the lightning ball for illumination. Place a one-person tent in one corner to serve as a bed.
Trouble began before she even entered the tent. Several men at the door of the grocery store noticed the fluctuation of supernatural powers when the thunder ball appeared. Bai Zhi habitually fixed the power fluctuations at level three. A lonely stranger with only level 3 powers suddenly appeared in the basement. Several men thought that something interesting could happen tonight, so they walked around the hotel laughing and loud, patted the basement door, and yelled: "New guy!" Come out and buy me a drink!"
