It's not difficult to go out and deal with them, but I'm afraid that if they show up, they will spread the news that there is a single woman living here, and people will come looking for trouble one after another. Bai Zhi was not interested in clearing out the monsters every day, so she decided not to open the door to scare them away.
Five small thunderballs, barely larger than marbles, emerged from the thick iron door. They seemed to have eyes, and they hit each other accurately. With five small explosions in a row, the five guys who were looking for fun were easily given the fun. His shirt was completely burned off and his hair turned into coke.
Bai Zhi was merciful to the low-ranking players, but only the master of the low-handing group. When the thunder ball exploded, a small bolt of lightning jumped and touched his nose. He covered his black nose and ran away screaming, his clothes turned into charcoal and torn apart. It broke into several large black fragments that trembled in the cold wind. It is easy to hit someone with a thunderball, but it is difficult to hit someone and only burn their clothes without hurting them. It can also control multi-line micro-manipulation so well that it can only hit the tip of someone's nose. There must be a master among them. The remaining few looked at each other, and before the master had any murderous intentions, they ran quickly with their shirtless arms in their arms.
Bai Zhi yawned happily and got into the tent, opened the book and read carefully. In the past, she had little opportunity to gain access to professional medical knowledge, and she could not understand the stabilizer formula Zhang Tianzhao gave her. Now that she has the conditions and time to study, she must not miss the opportunity.
Everyone in town knew that there was a new person living in the basement. The five people who explored the path were not bad at all, but they were beaten into disgrace. The newcomers were at least level six. Their details were completely unknown, and no one dared to come and harass them.
Bai Zhi rested in the basement for several days, but no one dared to set foot in the small hotel. She decided to go out and set up several teleportation points to leave several escape routes for herself.
She went out one morning. The town was halfway up the mountain, with the upper half of the mountain behind her. The top of the mountain was covered with snow. In front of the town was a large meadow with a steep slope. The end of the meadow seems to have been suddenly cut with a knife. The cliffs are steep, the deep valleys are winding and deep, and the mountains on the opposite side are continuous and majestic. White mist covers the peaks and valleys.
The altitude of this place is not low, and it is located in mountains, 80% of which are the Kunlun Mountains. It took a lot of hard work and I didn't leave Qinghai for several days. It only takes a few seconds to teleport. Hong Xingluan's superpower is really convenient. Bai Zhi opened her backpack and saw that she had now accumulated three boxes of thunder crystals. Although she could not leave marks on people to determine coordinates like Hong Xingluan did, she had thunder crystals. As long as she had enough patience and care, one day she would be able to Like Hong Xingluan, she can teleport wherever she wants.
Bai Zhi turned her head and glanced at the town where she woke up from the morning mist. She quickly slid down the rugged path, looking for crevices and caves where she could hide. She also collected some plants that looked very alive along the way. Yesterday, she walked in the gang territory to the middle of the snow-capped mountains on the edge, and found that nothing was growing upwards where the plains and snow-capped mountains meet. There are no more seeds in the warehouse. The NPC has nothing to do these days and has been in a dormant state. We have to find something for it to do.
Angelica dahurica digs along the way. Whatever I dug up, I threw it directly into my backpack and walked into the bottom of a deep ditch without realizing it. There is only a thin line of sky above the head, the light is dim at the bottom of the ditch, and both sides are covered with dry and yellow moss. From time to time, you can step on all kinds of garbage blown by the wind underground. She tried not to leave any traces and walked deeper into the ravine. The place looks dirty and smells bad, so it's perfect for setting up a teleportation point. She found a corner, dug up the floating soil with a small hoe, and lifted up the stone. When she was about to bury the thunder crystal, she found a small wire exposed in the icy soil. Use your finger to hook it. Although there is no current flowing through the wire, it is not broken. There is a front and a back. This place has a Lord before the end of the world.
Bai Zhi pressed the stone back and covered it with soil, sighed, closed her eyes and sensed that there was no supernatural fluctuation nearby, so no one should be there. From the perception, Zhang Tianzhao and the four of them were very close to each other, and they were probably still trying to level up the monsters. Yue Lei in the far distance has not changed, but the position of the one I still don't know has changed a lot. It is further away from Shanghai City and closer to Zhang Tianzhao and the others.
There is a rusty iron gate in the deepest part of the ravine, and the roof of the cave behind the gate is plastered with cement. The iron door was unlocked, and the ground was dotted with earth-red rust. Bai Zhi remembered that Haifengqiu had done this once when the store was closed. She can't crack this anti-theft method, but she can bypass it. Throwing a small thunder crystal in through the gap in the fence can solve the problem.
The cave twists and turns upwards, and the temperature is slightly higher than the outside. Several caves are filled with rows of mushroom sticks. Various mushrooms do not grow well, and most of them are rotten. Bai Zhi picked some mushroom sticks without rotten mushrooms and put them into her backpack. She hid a thunder crystal in the crevice behind a pile of fertilizer and returned the same way.
This area is inaccessible, which brings great convenience to Bai Zhi's movements. She rode an electric bicycle and spent a day and a half to set up six teleportation points in an area of nearly 100 square kilometers, and also prepared a temporary resting point.
After returning to the basement, Bai Zhi took the time to get into the tent and teleport back to the gang territory, placing the trees, vines, vines, mushrooms and other things she had collected in the past two days in the square. The NPC happily rolled out from behind the RV, holding these treasures and running towards the snow-capped mountains.
Bai Zhi took a bath, sat under the flower tree and enjoyed the sunshine. She took out the black meteorite she had always carried in her backpack and played with it. Meteorites have been beneficial to the evolution of both animals and plants. The mutant acorn she got last time has taken root on the plain and is growing very well. She can try placing one in the bamboo forest first. Bamboo grows very quickly, and you can see changes within a day or two.
To be strong, you not only have to pay a price, but you also have to take risks. Now she can do whatever she wants, no one will stop her, and she doesn't need to give up her will regardless of anyone's feelings.
Bai Zhi buried the meteorite in the middle of the bamboo forest, went to the peach forest to pick a few large boxes of peaches, washed them, put them in her backpack, and teleported them back to the basement.
The sunshine in the gang territory is bright and the wind is gentle and soft, but the basement is cold and cold. This sharp contrast made Bai Zhi feel very uncomfortable. She moved the light-blocking wooden board to look at the small street. The small street was deserted, and the bald people with level 5 and level 4 abilities were leaning outside the grocery store in a daze. There were five of them the day before yesterday, but today there were only three left. Hong Xingluan also said that there was a little chaos here, but it was very chaotic at all.
Bai Zhi moved the board back, returned to the tent and sat cross-legged, reading a book while compressing a thunder ball into a thunder crystal. Multitasking is the result of her practice over the past few days. This kind of training in compressing superpowers made her better understand the changes and flows of energy. She tried for several days to simulate the fluctuations of superpowers left by Hong Xingchaan on her shoulders, and made crystals specially used for teleportation and positioning purposes. It only consumes 5% of her superpower, is not much bigger than a grain of sand, and is not conspicuous at all when thrown out. Using this crystal to position and teleport will consume 20% of her own abilities. She has a dragon pool that can restore mana. With the healing method, she can regain 20% of her mana very quickly. She can ignore this consumption.
If the initially compressed thunder crystal is used for positioning, the power will not be consumed during teleportation. However, this kind of thunder crystal is as big as a fingertip, looks very shiny and beautiful, and others will definitely take it away after discovering it. It will also produce weak energy fluctuations when it explodes after being teleported, which is actually not safe. This thunder crystal will still be suitable for ground mines in the future.
The day before yesterday, she tried to compress various skills into crystals in the wild. The thunder net failed, but after compressing the thunderbolt, she got a half-inch-long spindle-shaped crystal. The explosive power of this thing can be imagined. Compressing thunderbolts is now her most important job, and as long as the conditions are right, she will spend half an hour compressing one. In the following time, even if it was just to compress the prisms, she could not stop her actions in the wild.
Bai Zhi took out the small sugar box containing the special teleportation thunder crystals, poured a handful of compressed small thunder crystals into it, made up a dragon pool for herself, and continued reading while waiting for her return to blue.
Early the next morning, Bai Zhi teleported back to the gang territory and found that the bamboo forest had not changed much. The diameter of the root of the thickest bamboo had increased by nearly ten centimeters and it had grown a little taller. She dug up the soil and saw that the color, shape and size of the meteorite had not changed. It seems that the effect of being buried in the soil is not as good as being stuck directly in the tree, but such a slow change makes Bai Zhi feel more at ease.
Bai Zhi buried the meteorite back, buried another meteorite in the peach forest, and safely transported it to the wild. Continue to explore this mountainous area, search for plants that are growing well, and read a book to compress crystals during the rest time. Every time Bai Zhi returns to the basement from the wild, there will be one or two more tenants in the deserted and rundown hotel. Every time they sensed the crystals she scattered, Zhang Tianzhao and the four of them were still where they were. Lu Lei did not change, but the unknown guy moved faster and faster, getting closer to Zhang Tianzhao.
When the twenty-eight circles were marked on the hand-drawn calendar, Bai Zhi did not go out again. She had been working in the gang territory for a long time. When she teleported out, she heard two men talking quietly against the ventilation window, and the word Kunlun Ruins appeared again and again. Bai Zhi held her breath and leaned against the wall to eavesdrop.
"Can we really get in?"
"You can definitely get in. Hundreds of people are waiting here. If you can't get in, who is wasting your time here? Are you going?"
"If you can get in, you will definitely go. But five kilograms of rice per person is too expensive. Can you give me more?"
"If you go in and take care of the food, people will not starve to death! Some of our people don't want to go in, otherwise why would we need your little food?"
"real?"
"Really! That's the number. You take people to bring the food to the grocery store, and we will send people to take you away right away. By the way, remember to leave three or five days of food rations. It's very big down there, so you might have to take a detour. .”
Similar conversations were repeated several times. Bai Zhi understood why Hong Xing arranged for her to live here randomly. Above is the trading point for leading the way. If he doesn't come, as long as she is not too stupid, she can find someone to lead the way after listening to a few words.
Bai Zhi rummaged through her backpack and found out a five kilogram bag of rice and stuffed it into a small hiking bag. Just as she was stuffing chocolates and water bottles into the hiking bag, Hong Xing said hello and teleported over, smiling and asking. : "If I come a little later, you will have to find someone to lead the way?"
"Yes." Bai Zhi handed a piece of chocolate to Hong Xinglan, "You look very tired."
"For a whole month, I made at least six trips a day. The rest of the time, I was forced to fight monsters and upgrades by your friends. Am I not tired?" Hong Xing took a big bite of chocolate, "By the way, you are still angry with them. Are you angry?"
"Who are they?" Bai Zhi slowly packed her hiking bag.
"Zhang Tianzhao and Hai Fengqiu. I have to go with them later." Hong Xing threw his hands behind his back, "Here's another piece. I haven't eaten yet."
They were going to Kunlun Ruins just like her. She had no position to ask Hong Xinglan to take her alone. Bai Zhi threw another piece to him and said, "Why are you guys hanging out together?"
"Most of us are here." Hong Xinglan smiled at Bai Zhi, "Brother Xiao Hai is our leader now. Are you still going?"
Bai Zhi put down her hiking bag, "I feel like I've been tricked by you."
"The entrance is down below." Hong Xing pointed at the ground, "Let's sneak in. Your friends are all going, there's no point in tricking you, they'll beat you to death."
"Did the group of people above take the same road as you?" Bai Zhi simply sat down on the spot. She had to ask clearly. Since there was more than one road, it was best not to meet them.
"No. Our goal is not to be discovered." Hong Xing said randomly: "If we are with someone who is paid to lead the way, there is a high possibility of being caught."
"What will happen if I catch you?"
Hong Xingran blinked at Bai Zhi, "I don't know. But I know you will never be caught with us."
"How long is the journey?"
"The monitoring points on the periphery can capture my teleportation fluctuations. You can only go there by walking. At our speed, we can get there in about three hours." Hong Xing glanced at Bai Zhi's expression and knew she was convinced, so he put his hand on her On his shoulders, he teleported her into a spacious cave.
There were thirty or forty people in the cave, and half of them looked familiar, except for the fact that thankfully, all the same people in the camp were there. The other half looked like the same kind. Bai Zhi's appearance surprised some people, but they were restrained and didn't say anything.
Hai Fengqiu, Zhang Tianzhao and two others gathered together and whispered to a map. Lin Yunlai leaned against a stone pillar in a daze, and Yue Dongting glanced this way. Bai Zhi carried the hiking bag and walked to the end of the crowd without saying hello to anyone.
After a while, Hai Fengqiu assigned tasks and took the lead. Zhang Tianzhao and Lin Yunlai walked at the front of the team. Yue Dongting remained calm at the end, approached Bai Zhi, and asked her: "How have you been this month?"
"It's very good." Bai Zhi smiled under the light of the fluorescent stick, "Thank you for your concern."
"Hai Fengqiu wanted to find you, but I stopped him. But I think that when you make certain decisions, you actually need to talk to him." Yue Dongting's voice was very low.
"I'm sorry about breaking up the gang. In fact, we can't get along with each other. I really can't do it." Bai Zhi whispered: "Don't persuade me."
"Okay. I know what to do." Yue Dongting nodded and walked quickly to the front.
After three hours of walking and another three hours of walking, the people in front stopped to rest. Hong Xing came over and said to Bai Zhi with a smile, "We may have to walk for a few more hours."
"I know." Bai Zhi smiled at him and rested against the cave wall with her eyes closed. When Hong Xing turned around and moved forward, she quietly stuffed a teleportation thunder crystal into the crevice of the stone as a coordinate. Something seemed wrong. She remembered that the people who collected the food and led the way said they would have to walk for three to five days. Three or five days with them was beyond the limit of her endurance. They and she would continue to influence each other. She wants to ensure that she can retreat at any time. Even if teleportation is not possible here, she can still get out on her own with these little thunder crystals.
The dark cave floor slopes downward, and an underground river cuts off the path forward. The rushing river flowed by. Someone threw a fireball close to the water, lighting up that patch of water. The water in the river was very clear and deep. There was a big fish over one meter long lying on the rocks at the bottom. It swam away the moment the fireball lit up.
Someone in the crowd loudly reported the phylum, family, genus, species, and living habits of the big fish, and another voice joined in. The two of them intensely discussed the possibility of artificially breeding this fish, causing bursts of laughter from their partners.
Hong Xingluan, who led the way, climbed up the rocks on the river bank more than 20 meters high and found a small hole on the top of the cave that could only accommodate one person. After a while, he dropped a rope. Hai Fengqiu took a few people to explore the way above, while the rest rested in place.
Zhang Tianzhao walked to Bai Zhi and asked in a low voice: "Why?"
"I'm sorry that I can't be your partner due to personal reasons." Bai Zhi took a few steps back, "Keep your distance. I'll feel uneasy if you get too close."
"What are the personal reasons?" Zhang Tianzhao raised his voice, "Can't you just say something if you have something to say?"
"The personal reason is that I don't want people to know. I won't say it." Bai Zhi took a few steps back. He knew a lot of things, but he refused to say it anyway, but asked her to have no reservations about him. Their relationship was not equal, so Bai Zhi took a few steps back.
"When we were lovers, you wanted to be partners, but once we were partners, you stopped. What do you want?" Zhang Tianzhao pushed Lin Yun away, "Speak clearly."
"We broke up, we broke up that night in District 6. I know you have always wanted to get back together. I have thought about it too, but I couldn't." Bai Zhi breathed, "After the breakup, I can't always grasp the reconciliation. The distance between you makes it awkward to be friends. So, don’t be friends anymore. When I say this, do you understand me clearly?"
Zhang Tianzhao turned around and left. Lin Yun took a look at Bai Zhi and went after Zhang Tianzhao.
The people in front climbed up to the top of the cave and got into the small hole. Yue Dongting was last and asked: "Can you crawl?"
"No problem." Bai Zhi pulled the rope and went up directly using Qinggong. Yue Dongting quickly followed and said, "There are mutated animals on this road. The lowest level in our group is level 13, so you don't need to do anything."
"Okay." Bai Zhi smiled at him, "You don't need to take care of me, I will go by myself."
"If you fall behind at the end, you will get lost. I'd better walk with you for a while." Yue Dongting whispered: "Carry on, don't fall behind."
"I will. Thank you." Bai Zhi said before she finished speaking. There has been a battle ahead. Several teams, under the command of Hai Fengqiu, spent ten minutes killing several mutant animals. A small team went over to skin and remove the meat, and finally burned the ashes. Twenty minutes later, the team continued to move forward. When people walk past the place of fighting, they can only smell the faint smell of blood.
Hong Xinglan dug a big hole for Bai Zhi, and three hours turned into four hours and then into several more hours. In fact, they walked and fought for forty hours in a row.
Finally, through a low hole crawling nearly 100 meters into a cave as spacious as a basketball court, Hong Xinglan breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "We're here, right here!"
The ceiling of this hall is more than 30 meters above the ground, and the air is quite fresh. There are three rows of caves cut into the four walls, and narrow passages lead to each cave. Zhang Tianzhao threw out several large fireballs that hung on the ceiling and walls of the cave, illuminating the entire cave as bright as day.
Haifengqiu said: "The dormitory on the second floor has one room per person. Bai Zhi can choose a room on the third floor."
Are they staying for a long time? Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, then caught Hong Xinglan who was leaning against the wall and trying to escape, "It took us three hours to get here?"
"This is it. We will live here for at least two years." Hong Xinglan hehe, "You're here anyway, so just stay here."
"Why do I have to live here for two years?" Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows. Hong Xinglan had sold her to Hai Fengqiu.
"What did Hao Lang tell you?" Hai Fengqiu came over and asked with a frown.
"Kunlun Ruins, we'll be there in three hours." Bai Zhi looked at him coldly, "Also, go with him, and I guarantee you won't be caught."
"He's right. The Kunlun Ruins are up there, maybe a thousand meters away from us in a straight line." Haifengqiu pointed to the top of his head and smiled, "It is said that there are more than 200,000 residents up there. There are underground caves leading to the Kunlun Ruins in all directions, and there are Tens of thousands of people are on their way to cross the border. We will not go in, but stay under it for the time being."
"Two years?"
"At least a year. How long do we have to wait for information from the insider above." Haifengqiu kept smiling, "It's very safe here. There are many mutant animals outside. People who are not strong enough can't go deep. We are the only group within two hours. people."
"Why?" Bai Zhi asked, suppressing her temper, even though she wanted to turn around and leave. But everyone has come here, and Hai Fengqiu is willing to talk to her. It is a rational thing for her to collect enough information before leaving.
Hong Xing suddenly appeared, "After the end of the world, many physical laws have changed. If the scientists at the base guessed correctly and the calculations they wrote in writing were correct, after a period of time, if the storage measures for the disassembled atomic bomb are not done well, , it is very likely to self-destruct. There is no problem in our country, but there is no guarantee that other countries can do this like us. Hao Xing only spread the news last month. We and the people inside cooperated internally and externally, and we only found the way to this place a few days ago The road. Before, I planned to unite with my kindred spirits and those who smuggled across the border to go together. But Brother Xiaohai convinced me that we need to unite and face the difficulties together."
Bai Zhi's anger was clearly visible on her face. If Hong Xinglan told her the truth, she would never go with them.
Haifengqiu smiled bitterly, "I went back and informed Brother Gu San, and the key to the door was returned to him. Don't worry about the safety and survival over there, they can protect themselves."
"Thank you for telling me the news." Bai Zhi took a few steps back and said, "Goodbye."
"Wait a minute," Haifengqiu said, "Although Kunlun Ruins is different from what we thought. But after a while, there will definitely be changes outside." He took a few steps back, "If there is really a nuclear winter, we need your help .”
If they really had to live in an underground cave for a year or two, their food might not be enough, and they would also need equipment to fight mutant animals. But Third Brother's supply reserves were sufficient. When they left, they left all the supplies they could. Bai Zhi wanted to understand this and said, "I will find a place to live nearby for a few days. If nuclear winter is really coming, I will contact you and be prepared for an equal exchange."
"what do you need?"
"Raw materials. Weapons, blue medicine. See you another day." Bai Zhi retreated to the entrance and nimbly got into the small hole.
Hai Fengqiu watched Bai Zhi's figure disappear without saying a word. In his perception, Bai Zhi quickly retreated to the previous fork in the road and turned to the other direction without hesitation. He opened his eyes and sighed, "Dongting, please calculate our resources and needs, and give her the list next time we meet."
There was only Haifengqiu's group within the two kilometers, which meant that there was more than one group hiding in underground caves like Haifengqiu. Bai Zhi was thinking as she hid the little thunder crystal as a coordinate at a key intersection. Her feet were shaking slightly. She didn't know if there was an earthquake somewhere or if the nuclear bomb self-destructed. Bai Zhi sensed the distance between her and them, which was almost ten kilometers away. The distance is not far or close enough to communicate with, and it is unlikely that we will meet often.
Bai Zhi selected several locations, and finally dug a small stone room of six or seven square meters at the top of the wall of a tall and spacious cave as a residence. She blocked the entrance of the cave with stones and waited alone for the transition point between quantitative change and qualitative change in the world.
