Zhang Tianzhao squatted beside a large piece of stone covered with hoarfrost, carefully observing the structure of ice crystals in the crevices of the stone. He gently touched an ice flower with the tip of his thick-gloved hand. The crystal-clear ice flowers fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
In Bai Zhi's field of vision, a small cloud of ice-blue particles appeared at the same time as the ice flowers shattered, and quickly dispersed and disappeared. The number of these superpower particles was very small and did not cause any superpower fluctuations.
"There's something wrong with this stone." Bai Zhi said softly.
"Well, it can absorb a small amount of water-type superpowers." Zhang Tianzhao put the big stone into his backpack. "This structure is very interesting. If part of the weapon can be made into this structure, you can use the ice and thunder net anytime and anywhere. We Look again.”
We searched for more than an hour and found a total of more than a dozen such stones. Zhang Tianzhao also harvested six or seven kinds of ores, and optimistically estimated that the entire group had enough weapons and materials. Everything is ready now, all we need is a forging platform.
"I have prepared a new formula." He showed a tired smile. "Although there is no tool table, it can still be done by refining the ore into metal first."
Zhang Tianzhao's weapon-training style of blacksmithing consumes mana but not energy. These days, he has to strike while others are resting. He is too tired.
Bai Zhi turned around and said, "I'm going back to the gang's territory to cook. It's time for a few fruits to ripen. I'll have to stay there for a few hours."
"Pick more fruits to make blue medicine. My energy is full. I will use up all my energy while I have nothing to do today." Haifengqiu said.
Bai Zhi nodded and returned to the territory to work. She also woke up the NPC standing in the square waiting for installation, and read all the recipes it cooked up. It took nearly four hours to come out.
Zhang Tianzhao and the three of them fell asleep in the inner room of the tent. Haifengqiu sat alone at the table, yawning out of boredom. Although the fire in the brazier beside the table was burning brightly, the temperature inside the tent was not much higher than outside.
Bai Zhi took out the baskets of fruits and asked, "Are there enough ingredients?"
"It's not enough, but there are still some. I'll do it first. When they wake up, you can call the repair robot, and we can repair the equipment together." Haifengqiu paused for a while and said, "Have you tried that box?"
"No." Bai Zhi shook her head, "The soaking time of the cube has not come yet. I'm afraid there will be changes when I take it out. Aren't we going to stay here for a while?"
"We need to make some adjustments when we get to Xining." Haifengqiu yawned again, "I think if your cube absorbs that box, your territory should be able to evolve again. Have the NPCs in the gang territory been unusual recently?"
Bai Zhi shook her head and said no. If she said that the NPC and the system had fought each other, they would definitely guess the reason for the change if the time went by. They finally made the decision to give up, and Kunlun Ruins also discovered that place, so there was no need for her to have troubles.
It was quiet outside. It was still dark and it was hard to tell whether it was noon or afternoon. Bai Zhi took out the information and browsed through it. She packed up the library of the medical school and had all kinds of information. As long as she keeps studying, one day she will be able to understand her own file and the ingredient list of the stabilizer, and figure out what she ate and what Wang Chengpeng and Zhang Tianlie did to her.
Hai Fengqiu took out his notepad and pencil and concentrated on writing and drawing. Before the three of them woke up, Hong Xingluan suddenly teleported over.
"Two of our partners suddenly became unstable. They had an attack for another half a year. Some people think that the increase in strength caused the onset of the attack earlier." Hong Xinglan was still in shock. He was startled when he found the three of them sleeping and asked: " Are the three of them okay..."
"We've already had an attack, it's okay." Hai Fengqiu calmly closed the notepad, "How are they now?"
"Extraordinarily violent. Fortunately, I have the person under control." Hong Xing wiped his sweat, "I'm really afraid that something will happen to you too."
The three people in the room were all awake and getting dressed. Zhang Tianzhao acted the fastest. After he came out, he patted Bai Zhi on the shoulder and said, "You may not have any personal space after the teleportation. I will accompany you for a walk."
"Okay." Bai Zhi put the information in her backpack, went out with him to avoid Hong Xingluan's sight, and returned to the gang's territory to give him the cube of soaking fluid.
Zhang Tianzhao took it and still had more, and asked funnyly: "How much have you soaked?"
"I've been teasing them for more than a year. I'm just afraid that something like this will happen." Bai Zhi smiled bitterly, "Besides this, I can't come up with anything else. I hope nothing happens to them."
The two out-of-control companions drank a total of 100 ml of soaking liquid several times, and it took them two days to adjust before returning to normal. After Zhang Tianzhao examined them, he found that they were in good condition and could maintain it for two years if they didn't eat randomly. The time interval between this kind of attack and the attack without taking stabilizers is not much different. The transformed people who are used to having attacks every one or two years are reassured and don't take it to heart. The remaining people had attacks one after another within half a month. Haifengqiu rested for ten days after everyone returned to normal.
Hong Xingluan did set up more than one teleportation point in an important town like Jianghan Plain to teleport. However, the Jianghan Plain may be the area with the most frequent human activities in the end of the world. Two years later, no one is maintaining it there, so there is no way to guarantee that the teleportation point is still secret and safe.
Hai Fengqiu resolutely refused Hong Xingluan's request to teleport over first to explore the way, believing that walking was the most suitable. They have lived in the relatively comfortable underground world for more than a year and have adapted to underground life. The environment on the ground is now very different from before, and we need to adapt slowly.
Haifengqiu would open a temporary camp every dozens or a hundred kilometers forward, stay there for a day or two, and send people out to explore and record the nearby terrain and climate changes, and draw simple maps.
Whether it is mountains, rivers or plains, except for the difference in terrain, they are all the same dead silence. The atmosphere was unusually dry and cold, and there seemed to be no precipitation for a long time. The rivers and rivers we saw along the way were either bottomed out or frozen, and withered trees and grass could be seen everywhere. Occasionally, animal carcasses can be seen, but not a single living thing.
After a search, Lin Yunlai returned to the cave that served as a temporary camp. He pulled open his mask and said depressedly, "There won't be any living animals on the ground except for us."
"There must be a lot underground. But there shouldn't be many people who dare to come up." Haifengqiu walked towards Zhang Tianzhao holding a cup of tea. "According to what we have seen along the way, the environment in our country is not bad."
Lin Yun came to take a look at the bright corner, where Zhang Tianzhao and Bai Zhi were wearing leather aprons and busy at the workbench. Both of them looked very happy, "Are they going to succeed?"
"It's almost done. It is said that materials can be found that can store superpowers repeatedly." Yue Dongting handed him hot water, "How is the situation outside?"
"It's still the same. There's not even a ghost." Lin Yunlai took off his leather gloves, held the hot water cup tightly with both hands, and said in a low voice: "I can't see a few people breathing along the way. I doubt that when we get to Jianghan , Wang Chengpeng and his men either died of thirst or starved to death."
"It's impossible for those who built Xinjiang City not to consider nuclear winter. There must be people surviving there." Yue Dongting said with certainty: "As for Wang Chengpeng, even with so many of his younger brothers, he can't starve."
"When I met him last time, he should have been at level 12. I don't know how many levels he has now." Lin Yunlai shook the remaining half of the water in the cup and drank it down in one gulp.
"Strength can't just be judged by level. Just say Bai Zhi, if she sets a trap, she can easily kill three or five of us at once. If Zhang Tianzhao joins forces with her... let out an ice thunder roar," Yue Dongting hehehe, "I just committed suicide."
"These two perverts. How did she do it? She even compressed the roar of thunder." Lin Yun came and touched his heart. In the inner pocket there, there was a soft and small wristband. Small crystals compressed from the roar of thunder. Bai Zhi gave each of them a self-defense weapon.
"How much she has learned!" Yue Dongting shook his head, "Except for playing games with you for two or three years, she has never played. I can't understand a word of the books she and Zhang Tianzhao are reading now."
"That's not what we did." Lin Yunlai said calmly, "Tell me, if those girls could survive, would they all be like Bai Zhi?"
If girls can survive, no matter whether there is an apocalypse or not, they and their next generation will grow up in the laboratory. The distant future is unpredictable, but their foreseeable future will be outstanding compared to ordinary humans. Their kind will never have any freedom.
Yue Dongting sighed and said, "Who knows." He returned his attention to the textbook "Biochemistry and Molecular Biology" and read it carefully.
This book was also brought by Bai Zhi from the university library. For today's environment, previous knowledge may indeed be outdated, but for people who know nothing, understanding old knowledge is a shortcut to summarizing new knowledge.
Zhang Tianzhao took a deep breath, "If this doesn't work, I will just follow the recipe prepared by the system and become a low-end blacksmith."
"Try it." Bai Zhi placed the black machete with inlaid holes flat on the workbench and took a few steps back. Several similar people who were close to him consciously avoided it. Hai Fengqiu consciously targeted Zhang Tianzhao and became invincible.
Zhang Tianzhao quickly slapped a blue gem the size of a small walnut into the hole against his head. Purple lines flashed on the black blade of the scimitar, followed by a flash of blue light. Scimitar jumped on the workbench.
Bai Zhi grabbed the handle of the knife and combed the energy flow of the scimitar. The blue gem kept flashing and then calmed down after ten seconds.
She succeeded! Zhang Tianzhao and Hai Fengqiu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Bai Zhi turned the handle of the knife upside down and handed it to Zhang Tianzhao. Zhang Tianzhao held the knife from the tip to the end of the handle, and handed the knife to Haifengqiu with satisfaction, "The effect is better than I expected."
Haifengqiu clenched the handle of the knife with both hands and waved it lightly, and a white ice ball as big as a fist slid out from the tip of the knife. Zhang Tianzhao stretched out his hand to suck the ice ball back and slap it away. Several knife-wielding friends gathered around and stared at Haifengqiu with "you know what" resentful eyes.
"This is tailor-made for Bai Zhi. Yours will have to wait." Hai Fengqiu handed the knife back to Bai Zhi and asked Zhang Tianzhao: "Is there any difference between our weapons and Bai Zhi's?"
"There is a difference, but the difference is not big." Zhang Tianzhao thought for a while and said: "The partner who needs to attack together needs to charge the inlaid gems. The first charging requires me and Bai Zhi to guide it at the same time. The process is very painful. Let's do a pair first. volunteer?"
A pair of companions with the fastest reaction were lucky enough to get this qualification. When they were learning to recharge, they screamed horribly. But it's worth the effort. After getting the weapon, the attack power is at least doubled. The friends' request for weapons was so urgent that Hai Fengqiu simply stayed here for more than ten days, waiting for everyone to get weapons before setting off.
The team encountered living animals for the first time on the winding road in the Taihang Mountains - dozens of mutated rabbits. They were about the same size as their counterparts in underground caves, but more ferocious. Each one could use ice balls and ice arrows, and their strength was far beyond the Little BOSS.
Bai Zhi is very satisfied with the perfect rabbit skin and piles of rabbit fur in the backpack. Perfect equipment materials have finally appeared. Can the perfect set be far behind? She can also use these high-quality rabbit fur blends to randomly produce sweaters. It's so happy to change the map and make monsters.
Zhang Tianzhao dissected a rabbit and carefully pulled out a cave-dwelling rabbit from his backpack for comparison. He found that the rabbits on the ground were more evolved than their cave-dwelling counterparts. They have withstood the test of nuclear radiation, and those who survived have become stronger.
Two hours later, they saw five men dressed like Sharp Brother hunting a mutated rat as big as a bull on the winding mountain road. These people use rockets, golden blades and ground thorns together, and occasionally shoot fire walls and earth shields. It is relatively easy to kill mutant rats.
Zhang Tianzhao and Hai Fengqiu were both observing these survivors, but they were observing from different angles. Zhang Tianzhao wanted to know the impact of nuclear radiation on the bodies of these five people, and used them as a reference to analyze what impact nuclear radiation would have on people with superpowers.
Haifengqiu was analyzing the environment in which they lived before, speculating on the time when they awakened their powers, and using them as a reference to determine how many survivors there were in the entire Taihang Mountains. What do these people do for a living, and what are the pros and cons of contacting them now.
After discussing, the two of them came to a unanimous conclusion: before arriving at Xinjiang City, try to observe the survivors without coming into contact with them, and disguise themselves as survivors living on the ground.
After leaving the Taihang Mountains, the team passed through an abandoned county town and found some old clothes and sheets. They transformed into a team of sharp brothers whose tents were all patched, and arrived at the Jianghan Plain in a low-key and safe manner.
When passing through Laojiang City, which is more than ten kilometers away from Xinjiang City, a cold wave hit. The cold wave in Jianghan Pingyuan is not as cold as in the northwest. Just find a place with a little wind to take shelter. Hai Fengqiu directly picked the tallest building nearby and asked everyone to go to the middle of the floor to see the scenery.
Every room in the building was empty, and all useful things that could be dismantled and moved were gone. The survivors are very hard-working, and it also illustrates the extent of the lack of supplies in Xinjiang City.
"There is a cold wave every day, and plants can't survive at all." Yue Dongting looked at the earth in the distance that quickly turned from earthy yellow to silvery white, and sighed: "If plants don't grow, animals can only eat each other. This means that they will all become extinct." The rhythm of it."
"Isn't the cold wave getting weaker and weaker?" Bai Zhi is very optimistic, "At this rate of weakening, it will be so weak that it will disappear in another month."
Zhang Tianzhao raised his eyebrows, "If the temperature is higher, it may rain along the coast, which will be more troublesome."
"More troublesome things have already happened." Lin Yun, who was standing by the window in the other direction, said, "I happened to see the group of people below walking at the front, and he is Wang Chengpeng's dog."
Bai Zhi looked over and saw that it was Wang Chengpeng's bodyguard Xiao Gu. Xiao Gu looked miserable. He had no hair or a hat in such a cold weather, and his bald head was as bright as a small light bulb. Several people with him had the same bald heads, and some even had no eyebrows. The clothes these people wore were quite ragged, with pieces draped here and there hanging around for ventilation. There was a strong man whose face, neck and bare arms were covered with dense red and black pimples. His face looked like a bunch of pimples with two big black bubbles and one or two holes, which was very scary. There was a man who walked for a while and then held on to the wall and vomited a few times.
These people have severe radiation sickness and may die soon. Great clues pass by but cannot be picked up. Zhang Tianzhao sighed and blocked the broken window and the outermost door with several transparent ice shields.
One or two people who were sitting in the middle stood up.
"It's okay. A few people who have been exposed to strong radiation sources are passing by. As long as you don't approach them and stay away from them, it will be fine." Zhang Tianzhao waved for them to sit back and rest.
"Xiao Gu must have been abandoned by Wang Chengpeng." Bai Zhi kept staring down, as those few people turned into the underground garage entrance of the building opposite.
"The last time I came here, he was still standing outside Wang Chengpeng's bedroom with a high air. Even Jiang Qingyue wanted to look at his face." Lin Yun said, "Wang Chengpeng won't say that if he doesn't want him, just don't want him."
Bai Zhi shook her head and smiled, "Xiao Gu plays the role of a target for people like Jiang Qingyue to throw knives at. He is a henchman? He is the top seed player who takes the blame. Hey, Jiang Qingyue's defense shield is white!"
Lin Yunlai touched his chin and sighed, "The lowest level is eight. Jiang Qingyue is level ten. What are they planning to do?"
Bai Zhi bit her lip, "Jiang Qingyue is here to beat the drowned dog and eat takeout, right? Are those her new lunch boxes?"
Bai Zhi refers to those beautiful girls. They are innocent, charming, charming, pure, cool, and available in every style. Under the gray sky, these four girls plus the queen-like Jiang Qingyue, all five of them have the white light blessing effect of the defensive shield. Every move of their hands and feet is very pleasing to the eye.
The description of lunch box is very accurate. The few people who came to the window to look at the lunch boxes shook their heads. It would be good to eat some in the last days. Wang Chengpeng also pays attention to presentation. If he is such a picky eater, he will be struck by lightning.
Jiang Qingyue stood in the middle of the ramp at the underground entrance and shouted downwards. Her voice was not loud, but the group of people on the fifth floor had good hearing and could hear clearly. Everyone has a tacit understanding to restrain the fluctuations of supernatural powers, stay away from the window and keep quiet.
"Team Leader Gu, don't you think it's embarrassing for a grown man like you to be chased around like a dog by a woman you look down on?" Jiang Qingyue had no intention of going down, so she tried to let Xiao Gu come up by himself.
"Jiang, if you can, guard me until I die! Hahahaha." Xiao Gu laughed crazily, "If you don't go back, Mrs. Wang's throne will belong to someone else."
Jiang Qingyue's voice was sharp, "I don't need Mrs. Wang's throne! I just want you to die!"
"I'm just below. Jiang, I'm seriously injured and can't move. You can kill me with one finger. Come down and let me die." Xiao Gu laughed and cursed Jiang Qingyue loudly. He said a few words and always cursed. Jiang Qingyue will not die well if she eats people.
The four girls' expressions became uglier as they listened. Jiang Qingyue sneered repeatedly, and waited until Xiao Gu was tired of talking before saying: "You treat me like this just because you don't get my love and hate me. Do you think you can provoke the feelings between our sisters by saying this?"
Xiao Gu laughed heartily, "Don't you think enough of instigating sisters' feelings? It's not you who instigated the fights between the boss's women in the past two years? If the boss's women die, you will be promoted to a higher level!"
The four girls' faces were unusually pale, and three of them were a few steps away from Jiang Qingyue.
"You're talking nonsense!" Jiang Qingyue sneered repeatedly, "How long did it take for the one who just came to reach the eleventh level from knowing nothing? If I am willing to eat people, how can I let her get on top of me!"
"Haha, Jiang Qingyue, I'm also at level 12. I'm going to die soon. If you eat me, you can be on top of her. Do you dare to come?" Xiao Gu laughed and coughed, "If you don't come down and survive, Cut me into pieces, and eating it will have no effect after the person dies."
"Sister Jiang, let's go down." A girl persuaded softly: "There are five of us, we are not afraid of him!"
"Okay, just go down!" Jiang Qingyue popped up a fireball and shot it down the dark slope. The fireball shot out more than ten meters and then went out. But with the flash of the fireball just now, Xiao Gu could be clearly seen standing alone at the bottom of the ramp.
The girl who just spoke quickly reached the entrance, nodded to Jiang Qingyue, and said, "I'll go down first to explore the way." She threw a thunder ball and ran down with the thunder ball. When she ran closer to Xiao Gu, her thunder ball also suddenly went out. The girl screamed in surprise in the darkness, but there was no sound again.
"Xiao Qing!" Jiang Qingyue was filled with grief and walked forward with tears in her eyes. The remaining three girls looked at each other and hurried back in unison.
Jiang Qingyue didn't look back. She was already approaching the garage. When she turned around, she gave her back to Xiao Gu. Although her defensive shield is very powerful, Xiao Gu's level is higher than hers, and she dare not leave her back to others.
"Sister Jiang, you carry it for a while. We go back and tell the boss to come and rescue you!" A young girl said a very kind words and ran quickly.
The three girls were very dishonest. They said they were going back to ask for help. After running more than a hundred meters, they stopped. The innocent girl said: "It's so cold. I can't walk. I want to escape the cold wave." Her partner Everyone agreed, so the three of them went to another nearby building, found a room near the entrance of the underground garage, and lurked to listen to the excitement.
Jiang Qingyue kept putting on protective shields for herself as she walked. Wearing multiple protective shields, she shines like a lightbulb in the dark. The sound of fighting below started suddenly and lasted for half an hour before it stopped. Two more hours later, Jiang Qingyue, who had changed her outfit, came out with a satisfied smile and walked onto the avenue. She burped before walking away.
