The residence with a wide view is located at the highest point of a large cave where three passages meet. The outside of the cave entrance is camouflaged so that you can't see anything above it from below. The structure of the stone chamber is exactly the same as that of the stone chamber that Zhang Tianzhao used to clean up. Zhang Tianzhao took Bai Zhi to the entrance of the cave and left with Yue Dongting.
This place is two or three kilometers away from their residence. They take turns leading the team to hunt, and they can all pass under the stone chamber. The four of them would come to the weekly trade, and hand over the mutated animals and BOSS corpses they had hunted to Bai Zhi to get the materials. They would also skin them and get the meat. The discarded parts would no longer be burned, but would be kept to feed the surrounding few as watchers. A mutant herd of guard dogs.
Bai Zhi provided them with fruits and vegetables for thirty-six people, sometimes with some flour and beans, and gradually provided exquisite sets, charging half of the ingredients each time as compensation. She will sort out the half that belongs to Haifengqiu and return it to them during the next transaction.
Haifengqiu's requirement is one set of equipment, two sets plus a cloak as a spare. There are thirty-six people in total, and the complete set plus wristbands and leggings makes a total of several hundred pieces. Bai Zhi maintains the output of one piece per day and delivers goods slowly, without being rushed by Haifengqiu. Their level is high enough in the cave world, and they are in the stage of keeping a low profile. They have no plans to explore unknown areas, nor do they plan to go to the ground to die, so their need for equipment is not that urgent.
Bai Zhi still divided her time into two parts. She still spent half of the time reading, compressing the crystals while reading. Once the time to use Pili's skills was up, she would go out and put one in when no one was outside, and then return to the stone room to compress and give it to Collect your own weapons.
The other half of her time was used to organize materials, process equipment, work in the gang territory, and harvest and collect food according to book knowledge and process it. She has superpower bonuses and a backpack plug-in. Harvesting and storage can be done easily. Only deep processing is more difficult. Fortunately, she has the final say on the type and quantity of food she supplies to Haifengqiu, so there is not much pressure. She can also take one or two days a week to go hunting alone to verify the power of the modified thunderbolt crystal.
Haifengqiu didn't ask what Bai Zhi gave him, and he didn't care about the quantity or type. This attitude is not a serious trading attitude at all. Bai Zhi was quite confused. After a transaction, Liu Haifengqiu spoke and suggested that he get a better financial system for the team.
Hai Fengqiu smiled while holding hot tea.
For the Haigu family who have formed a solid alliance and completely control District 1, putting the supplies in Bai Zhi's and his hands is the difference between putting things in the left hand and the right hand. Establishing a financial system for the left and right hands is just a pain in the ass.
"If you're afraid that we can't figure it out, just help us make an account." Hai Fengqiu put the tea cup on the table and asked Bai Zhi to add water, and asked: "Last time I heard Yue Dongting said that you used strings of thunderbolts to throw out to kill the boss. Have you put all your skill points into Thunderbolt?"
"Thunderbolts can be compressed into crystals." Bai Zhi took out a finger-long spindle crystal and showed it to him. "It's not very stable. In a place like a cave, if it explodes through the hole, it will collapse. I want to control the scope of the explosion to one diameter. Point within five meters. What have you been doing these past few months?"
"We train skills, coordination and combined attacks. The thunder crystals compressed by Lin Yun can only be used by himself, and they are sometimes ineffective. He has given up on the promising job of making weapons. Zhang Tianzhao will use his special powers every day Rest only when exhausted. But only a few of us can use his crystal. Yue Dongting and I can't do it, let alone others. You can actually compress Pili's violent skills into crystals." Hai Fengqiu Carefully holding the prism, he sensed the violent energy in it. The surging energy was always breaking free, as if it would explode at his fingertips at any time. He returned the prism to Bai Zhi and said, "I always have the illusion that it will explode in the next second."
"We also need to modify the compression method." Bai Zhi put the prism back into the backpack and sighed deeply, "Now it will self-destruct after taking out the backpack for half an hour. It's not smart at all to set up an ambush or something." .”
"Half an hour will be very useful." Haifengqiu looked at his life skills panel, "We have collected a wide variety of fur materials in the past few months. Are there any new recipes?"
"Yesterday, the NPC came out with a new recipe for Zhang Spider Silk Wristband. The space is randomly ranging from ten cubic meters to sixty cubic meters. I made a dozen of them for fun." Bai Zhi originally wanted to say this, but she almost got confused. Forgetting, she took out a small rectangular soft bag with two trip straps on the back and said: "The chance of randomly getting to 60 is one in five."
Haifengqiu opened them one by one and looked at them. Each space was different in size. He took the two smallest ones and pushed the rest back. He said, "You can keep the ones above twenty. Give me a few dozen below twenty. I'll replace my wallet when I get the chance. What materials do I need to make a bag? I"
"Spider silk, rat skin, and fabrics made from materials produced in the gang's territory." Bai Zhi looked through her backpack, "I have saved two hundred pieces of rat skin in the past few months. It seems that spider silk is not easy to come out. There are a total of I didn’t have twenty regiments, so I used them all.”
"It's too dry here and there aren't many spiders. Next time I'll take people to go farther and look for them. I'll take out the rat skin for you first." Hai Fengqiu teleported into the gang's territory and took his half of the rat skin and ten A few balls of spider silk were traded to Bai Zhi, "I heard that the higher-ups were sending people to the ground a few days ago. The first group of people have been out for several days. It's good news that no one can come back."
Bai Zhi nodded. She was still a breath of fresh air in the gang's territory. Living in the underground cave half the time was very depressing, and she was looking forward to returning to the surface life. Others only want to see the sun more than she does.
The atmosphere in the team camp was subdued. Hao Xingcai contacted Hao Lang.
A group of volunteers were sent out every other week. The first four groups never returned. The fifth group of volunteers came back half way in one day, and all of them died within ten hours. The first few batches didn't run away, they simply died as soon as they got out. The situation on the ground was worse than they imagined.
Negative emotions are very serious in Kunlun Ruins now. In order to ease the conflicts, the radicals demand the development of the underground world in advance. Kunlun Ruins is already recruiting members for the underground world exploration team, and five exploration teams will set off in a week at the latest.
The thickness of the crust of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is close to 70 kilometers. The Kunlun Ruins is hundreds of meters deep underground. Thousands of meters below it are a group of three-dimensional caves as dense as a spider web. No one can figure out how many connected caves there are in this area. Be clear. Before the end of the world, only a few hundred square kilometers of caves near Kunlun Ruins had been discovered.
The place where Hai Fengqiu and the others were staying was right below Kunlun Ruins. Once Kunlun Ruins sent out a large number of search teams to carefully sort out the nearby area, it was only a matter of time before they were discovered.
Unable to get out, unable to stay, they need to move to a deeper cave to live.
Hai Fengqiu frowned, pressed the table angrily, and said, "Can't they even take a year or two to recuperate? If they are expanding outward now, what kind of team members can they recruit? They are just sending people out to die!"
Hong Xingran's face was full of displeasure, "Except for the dozens of square kilometers of our area that have been deliberately hidden, many people living in the west and south of us are originally connected to the above. We can only go north. The caves over there Most of them are very tall, and there are quite a few underground rivers. I can’t imagine how many mutated animals we will encounter coming down from other passages, and there may also be groups of zombies.”
"You can't go directly to the top. Everyone's family members are inside. Good comrades who don't show up are still lost. Once they bump into each other and disobey the arrangements, the trouble will be big." Yue Dongting breathed in and laughed, "Pack up your things and leave. Let's rest and recuperate for a few months, and it's time to move around."
"We are definitely not the only good comrades who don't want to meet the people above." Hai Fengqiu looked up at the empty cave roof, "Seal up this residence when we leave. Maybe there will be a chance to come back."
Hai Fengqiu hinted that Zhang Tianzhao would leave a teleportation point here for Bai Zhi. This area is directly below Kunlun Ruins. If you want to go to Kunlun Ruins, this is a very good resting point. It's not troublesome to leave a crystal as a coordinate.
Zhang Tianzhao nodded and said, "I'll deal with the vents." Lin Yun came to cover him, and Zhang Tianzhao hid a thunder crystal under the stone table in a large stone room.
Bai Zhi, who happened to be sensing the road sign, was looking at the guy she didn't know who was thinking hard. This guy had stayed motionless for nearly ten months, and he was actually moving westward again in the past few days. Who is he? Is he not afraid of nuclear radiation?
Bai Zhi suddenly noticed that there was a thunder crystal beside Zhang Tianzhao and Lin Yunlai, and she jumped up in fright. This was the first time they had used thunder crystals since she separated from them.
Something happened to them. The problem is so serious that it has reached the point where I have to leave the coordinates and run away.
Bai Zhi immediately entered the gang's territory and stored most of the materials in the backpack in the warehouse. She put all her compressed biscuits and cans, bottled water and soaking liquid in the backpack into the backpack. Come out and leave the teleport crystal in the bedroom, put a stone larger than the entrance into the outer stone chamber to block the entrance, and fill the entrance hole with stones. Finally, thunderball lighting was raised in the cave below, waiting for them to come.
Hong Xinglan, who leads the way, has an extraordinary sense of direction and good judgment in the intricate caves. Zhang Tianzhao's nose worked better. After Hong Xingchaan pointed out the direction, he could smell it and know whether there was a dead end in front of him or whether there were any mutant beasts or humans ahead.
The team moved forward rapidly for six hours without encountering a single mutated animal. They bypassed six or seven small groups of humans, crossed a wide underground river, and stopped to rest by the river.
"With a week to disperse the scent, and the obstruction of the river, the dog nose shouldn't be able to track us. Rest, and we can walk slowly later." Hong Xingran took a deep breath into the rushing river water.
The tentacles above stretched out too quickly, which was not in line with their usual style. I don't know what changes had taken place above. After all, Hao Xing was just a scientific researcher and couldn't get any more information. Most of them have relatives and friends on them, and they don't want to be controlled by stabilizers, nor do they want their relatives and friends to be controlled. For the time being, they could not openly break with their superiors. This feeling of being helpless and having nowhere to vent was quite irritating. The atmosphere in the team is very depressing and they need to fight to vent their negative emotions. Zhang Tianzhao calmly led people to a tall cave where mutant spiders were entrenched.
When the first big spider with a body the size of a schoolbag pounced down, Lin Yun had just fired his gun. Bai Zhi's three thunder balls had already shot past. One of them became bigger and brighter and rose to the top of the cave. The bright light flashed and hit him. He caught another big spider that was clinging to the roof of the cave, preparing to ambush. The big spider screamed and fell to the bottom of the cave, breaking two pairs of legs. The other two thunderballs burrowed into the belly of the spider in front of them, and then exploded after reaching the fourth pair of legs. Lin Yunlai snatched away the spider that was missing a pair of legs and stabbed it to death. Zhang Tianzhao stabbed the other one to death with his spear.
Friends who have never seen Bai Zhi fight are silent. These two people took the wrong medicine and used their ultimate attack as soon as they got up. There is a group of more than 60 people behind who are just rubbing their hands and grinding their teeth. Do they have the rhythm of substituting players after one game?
Lin Yunlai threw himself into the spider swarm with a joyful energy that seemed to his friends to be just crazy and seeking death, and took away the hatred of the BOSS.
Bai Zhi sighed and manipulated dozens of thunder balls to float around him, half of them protecting his vitals, and half of them moving around flexibly, looking for the fourth pair of legs necessary for spiders to spin silk. While she was constantly restoring mana to her teammates, she also had to add strings of thunderballs from time to time. The thunderballs around Lin Yunlai seriously interfered with the attacks of the mobs on Yunlai. Several spiders hit the thunderballs and hissed. Scream and back away.
Zhang Tianzhao and Yue Dongting stood behind Lin Yunlai, specializing in picking up nearby spiders that couldn't spin silk. They all have the rhythm of killing one at a time.
Hai Fengqiu assigned tasks to the captains of each team who were watching the excitement. Six teams entered the battle group and divided the spider swarm into several pieces. Their rhythm finally slowed down. Hai Fengqiu joined the battle, and Zhang Tianzhao sneaked up to Yunlai to help him share the boss's hatred, and took the time to send Bai Zhi an invitation to join the team.
Bai Zhi simply agreed and joined the team in seconds. The team members' panel can more intuitively reflect the mana consumption of teammates, and she can focus more on Lin Yun's damage reduction and assists.
Lin Yunlai's pressure was greatly reduced, and he stabbed the BOSS with left and right shots. He also chatted with Bai Zhi and asked her: "You go out alone, are you scared to death with so many thunder balls with you?"
"Insects can do it." Bai Zhi concentrated on breaking the spider's legs. "When you harass someone for spinning silk, don't you dare to use a damage reduction method without hiding?"
"Forgot." Lin Yunlai obediently used damage reduction, but was kicked several meters away by the big boss. He covered his chest and said: "My waist, you are just an assistant, don't compete with others for monsters. Pay attention.”
"You have a big waist and a chest? Shameless." Bai Zhi choked him and gave him a timely blow to reduce the damage.
Lin Yunlai shook his shoulders and withstood the BOSS's blow beautifully. He then stabbed his fourth foot, breaking the fourth foot, and braced himself to take on the monster in a serious manner.
This encounter was very exciting, and the foursome were like RMB players who had taken long-acting blue-replenishing pills sold in the game mall, using their moves from beginning to end. They have taken down the BOSS, but others haven't cleared out all the mobs yet. Lin Yunlai screamed and rushed to grab other people's monsters, scolding wherever he went. Yue Dongting pulled him back with a look of helplessness, strangled his neck, and said, "We don't gain experience by killing monsters, so don't be a bitch."
Bai Zhi was all over the field, touching up the corpse and dropping it. Haifengqiu picked up the corpses very cherishedly. It would be no problem to feed these big bugs to a few more bosses. The era when BOSS is hard to find has begun. With big backpacks to collect food, they can raise themselves without BOSS!
In the next few days, they encountered three batches of mutant spiders, but not a single other mutant animal, not even a single human hair. After the third batch, a friend who naturally hates insects couldn't stand it anymore and shouted: "Zhang Tianzhao, I'm not afraid of spiders at all, can you let them go?"
Zhang Tianzhao looked at Bai Zhi awkwardly. Bai Zhi, who was sorting out nearly a hundred clumps of spider silk and two spider webs dropped by BOSS in her backpack, still looked like she was in a daze and didn't react at all.
People simply ignore this kind of ridicule without naming names.
Xiao Gu smiled sweeter every time he saw the spider. He tried to scare his ex-girlfriend with such a big insect, but it didn't work. Zhang Tianzhao did it again and again. He deserved that his ex-girlfriend ignored him. The friends laughed in low voices. This guy was excellent in everything, but he couldn't do anything to chase his ex-girlfriend. Watching him lose weight was good for his physical and mental health.
"There is a water source more than ten kilometers ahead, and I also smelled a variety of mutated plants. We may have encountered a place where we can settle." Zhang Tianzhao smiled rarely and asked Hong Xingluan: "Has the scope of the search team's activities been determined?"
"The south has provided a lot of clues. They will go south first. We still have at least a year to breathe." Hong Xing looked at Haifengqiu, "We can settle down for a while."
"Then settle down." Hai Fengqiu gathered his team, and Lin Yunlai each led a team of five people to explore the road in two directions.
There are more than ten kilometers of underground rivers ahead that are intertwined into a network, and the temperature is very high. Large caves covering an area of one or two square kilometers are surrounded by small caves of several hundred square meters, and the roads are extremely complex. Mutated luminous moss grows on the top and high places of the cave, glowing with a faint blue-white light. Although the light is dim, there is no need for fireball lighting. Various mutant plants grow lushly, with varying heights and heights. Bai Zhi recognized the mutated apple trees and jujube trees. She left the team and went to pick up a few ripe fallen fruits under the trees.
Mutated animals that were small and low-level appeared from time to time, and their first reaction when seeing a crowd was to run away.
Both Haifengqiu and Lin Yunlai found traces of civilized human life. Among the burned domestic garbage were fragments of film-coated packaging boxes, as well as mutated mushrooms that were clearly cared for by someone, vegetables and fruits that were two or three times larger than normal sizes. corn.
Several similar researchers with experience gathered together to discuss, listed various data, and invited Yue Dongting to have a small meeting. They speculated that the resources here can provide for the survival of 5,000 people. Judging from the traces of human activities in the cave, there are no more than a thousand people living here. Apple trees and jujube trees laden with fruit are everywhere, and the ripe fruits have fallen to the ground. Survival resources are abundant, and their arrival may be welcomed by those who come first.
Haifengqiu arranged for everyone to be on standby, and Heyue Dongting went deep into the area to contact the first comers, and found a small settlement more than ten kilometers away. The settlement is located in a relatively dry cave, with a tall and strong animal-proof fence set up at the entrance. A lot of luminous moss lighting has been transplanted outside the cave entrance. The two leaders received Haifengqiu and Yue Dongting warmly. While they were chatting at the entrance of the cave, a dozen old people gathered around to watch the fun, and a group of children were led back to the settlement from outside by someone who looked like a teacher.
One of the two leaders is the head of a certain village, Wu, and the other is Director Hu, the head of the department of an agricultural college. A few days before the end of the world, Director Hu heard that the underground caves in this village had extremely rich mutant plant communities, so he brought the entire third grade students.
After the apocalypse, they and villager Yan took refuge in a cave to live. During this period, they went out several times but failed to contact the outside world. Instead, they lost dozens of boys and villagers. This loss was beyond what the two leaders could bear. Instead of trying to contact the outside world, they chose to wait for rescue.
There are many underground animals in this area. They have a team of dozens of superpowers. Meat can be obtained easily by hunting. The students' majors are also very useful in underground caves. They can actually grow vegetables and grains in the caves. The mutated varieties have fast growth rates and high yields. The life of cave dwellers is generally good. During the earthquake, several passages to the ground were collapsed. They did not know about the nuclear winter. They had been insisting on scientific research and production under the leadership of Director Hu, firmly believing that they would be rescued.
After learning that Haifengqiu and the others were ordinary citizens who were constantly migrating to underground caves to escape the apocalypse, Village Chief Wu and Director Hu were disappointed. However, they welcomed them, actively invited them to settle here, and enthusiastically took them to see several Chinese Small cave.
Haifengqiu chose a relatively dry cave, leaving Yue Dongting to deal with Director Hu who was asking questions, and returned to the team to bring the person over. Director Hu, who kept talking to Yue Dongting about the mutant plant system and the cave biological chain, was frightened by dozens of handsome guys, and did not notice that there was a girl hidden in the crowd.
Zhang Tianzhao surveyed the cave and the surrounding environment, gave planning opinions, and produced a planning map. After explaining the precautions, he walked directly to Bai Zhi and said softly: "I'm done with my work. Can I go out with you to find a place to stay?"
Bai Zhi couldn't refuse this invitation unless she was willing to live in a cave with these dozens of men. Bai Zhi nodded to him, and they quietly bypassed the crowd and exited the cave. Haifeng Qiutiao's residence is some distance away from the settlement. Several caves around it are connected cave halls. They are warm and humid, with rich vegetation. There is even a one-acre water pool in one corner.
Zhang Tianzhao picked the stone wall above the pool and asked Bai Zhi: "Are you not afraid of insects?"
"There. It's okay." Bai Zhi said softly: "They even mutated the food crops they brought outside. Maybe there is a big meteorite buried underneath."
"It's just under the pool." Zhang Tianzhao's voice was equally soft even though there was no one nearby, "I've sensed it. You stay here, and we'll come over and dig a little bit down every day to get it as soon as possible."
"What should we do if we take away those villagers?" Bai Zhi asked.
"They didn't find it. Even if they found out on their own, they were hiding here in the last days and didn't even see much blood. Do you think they can withstand the attack of a large wave of mutated animals?" Zhang Tianzhao shrugged, "First of all, they didn't I found that, secondly, they don’t own the sign, it has no owner, and whoever comes across it belongs to whoever gets it.”
"It's up to you." Bai Zhi didn't hesitate, "I'll collect some mutant seeds and plants around."
"I'll dig a place for you and leave me to eat?" Zhang Tianzhao looked at Bai Zhi with a smile. In the dim light, Bai Zhi looked very good, and her cheeks were as red as apples.
"Only biscuits and mineral water." Bai Zhi turned around and left.
Zhang Tianzhao squinted and watched as her back disappeared behind a clump of fern-like plants. He jumped towards the tall stone wall above the clear water pool and dug a hole at the top of the cave.
Bai Zhi looked toward the pond for a long time through the gaps between several large leaves. It wasn't until Zhang Tianzhao dug a hole half a man's height and crawled in that she turned around and left, collecting every plant she encountered. Some of these mutated plants were recognizable to her, and some were completely unfamiliar to her. She didn't know whether it was poisonous or not, but the NPCs in the gang's territory would separate poisonous and non-poisonous ones when transplanting. She's not worried about classification.
The stone chamber excavated by Zhang Tianzhao is exactly the same as the previous two, even the pattern and ventilation holes of the bedroom door are exactly the same. Bai Zhi entered the stone room and saw Zhang Tianzhao sleeping on the bed in the bedroom. Maybe he was sweating while working. His coat was thrown on the ground outside, and he was only wearing a linen long-sleeved T-shirt. The material of the T was soft and close-fitting, clinging tightly to his waist and abdominal muscles. He seemed to have lost weight compared to last year.
Bai Zhi took out her cloak and covered him, turned around, pulled up the stone door at the entrance, and teleported into the gang territory to cook.
The dinner that Bai Zhi treated her guests to was hot chicken soup with chicken fat, Kung Pao chicken, tiger skin green peppers, Zhang Tianzhao's favorite roasted lamb chops, and bamboo tube rice cooked with fresh rice. She also cooked it according to the customs of her hometown. The master in the room boiled a pot of rice wine.
The alcohol content of the rice wine was not high, and there was only a small pot. Zhang Tianzhao was drunk, and his eyes were brighter than when he was sober. After eating, he leaned against the wall and stared at the thunderball lighting above his head without speaking.
Bai Zhi knelt down beside the low table to clear away the empty plates and bowls. The sound of clinking plates and bowls was clear and sweet.
"It's time for me to leave." Zhang Tianzhao remained motionless.
"Be careful when you go out." Bai Zhi wiped the table slowly.
"I'll dig a hole tomorrow." Zhang Tianzhao jumped up and walked to the entrance of the hole, opened the stone door, jumped into the clear pool, splashed a canopy of water, and sank into the water. Bai Zhi heard the noise and went to the entrance of the cave to look down, just in time to see Zhang Tianzhao sinking to the bottom of the water.
Getting drunk like this? Bai Zhi bit her lip and debated whether to go out and fish for people. Zhang Tianzhao suddenly jumped out of the water again and fled toward the shore in a panic. Several large one-meter-long fish jumped out of the water and chased after them with their mouths wide open. Their white teeth were as sharp as saw teeth.
How could he be so stubborn? Bai Zhi lay at the entrance of the cave and watched him run away in despair, laughing for a long time.
