"Nicholas, they are my partners." Yue Dongting introduced his partners to a Slavic man who was half a head shorter than him but extremely strong, "Hai, Zhang, Lin, Gu."
Nicholas's blue eyes slid over the faces of four people, three tall and one short. The three men are about the same size as Yue Dongting. They are likely to be of the same type. Hai Yao is straight and serious, with a distinct military temperament. Zhang and Gu look very much like a combination of doctors and nurses. They and Nico La said hello and didn't do anything else, but the two of them were so close that they looked like a couple. Lin nodded casually to Nicholas as a greeting. The four men's attitudes were very casual, but they occupied four directions, just protecting the only woman in the middle.
"Does Gu have fighting ability?" Nicholas looked up and down at the delicate and beautiful oriental woman. There is no shortage of women in Noah's base, but there is no such beautiful oriental woman. He himself is very interested in Gu. A beautiful woman who cannot protect herself will always get into trouble.
"Of course. You will see her abilities during the battle." Yue Dongting smiled, "You have seen how much I have improved. My companions are no worse than me."
Nicholas muttered in a voice that only he could hear clearly, and asked loudly: "Yue, you mean you have been five people in the past few years without a new partner?"
"Yes." Yue Dongting nodded, "The five of us can cope with all difficulties."
"I believe you." Nikolai made a gesture, and the two black men in front twisted the fluorescent rods and took the lead in getting into the dark hole.
The faint blue light can only illuminate a few square meters in radius. The steps going down are covered with thick and slippery ice shells, and the top of the cave that can be reached with your hands is covered with thick ice flowers. Those who are a little behind can only grope in the dark with a little light. The five-person group who had lived in the cave for two years were very adaptable to this environment and followed closely behind Nikolai. However, the first batch of Tonghui people who followed Nikolai into the mine were cursing as they walked. Soldiers from both classes are no exception. Until now, they all thought they were going to the seed warehouse. After walking for so long, they still hadn't arrived. The road was not easy to walk and they were not allowed to use fireballs for lighting. Everyone was impatient.
"Keep quiet!" Nicholas shouted: "There are probably mutated insects in the cave."
When encountering bugs in such a narrow environment, whoever runs faster will survive. The team immediately fell silent. The only sound in the dark passage was the sound of boots on ice. There are many branch roads in the cave. Two hours later, Nicholas led more than thirty Chinese people to an empty cave hall. At the other end of the hall is a fortified steel gate. Four armed guards stood by the door. There were four braziers set up in the four corners of the hall, and the blazing fire illuminated the cave in half-light and half-darkness.
Nicholas talked to the guard in a low voice for a while, and the guard opened the door. Behind the door was an extremely huge cave. Thick moss grew on the top of the cave. Although the white light emitted was not bright enough, it was enough for people to see the surroundings clearly. environment. They are now standing near the top of a huge cave. Under the cliff is a small town surrounded by tall stone walls. There is a half-moon-shaped lake outside the city. On the other side of the lake is a dense dark green forest. A cross street divides the town below into four districts. In the square in the center of the town, there are many women and elderly people playing with their children. Many people have flower pots full of flowers on their windowsills. If you ignore the more than 100-meter-high dome and the glowing moss, the town below looks like an ordinary European town except that there is no church.
"This is Noah's base." Nicholas opened his arms and embraced Yue Dongting, "Yue, Noah welcomes you!"
"Nicholas, where is the underground seed warehouse you mentioned?" someone from Tonghui asked loudly.
"Over there." Nicholas pointed to the other side of Crescent Lake. "That's our underground seed warehouse. The forest is generous. You can have as many seeds in the forest as you want, and you can take away as many as you want. .”
From a grammatical point of view, there is nothing wrong with Nikolai's words. This cunning Slav invited the Chinese to sit in the tavern on the base, and even offered to provide them with accommodation.
"We have all kinds of insects here, but they are not that big and they don't eat humans. The forest outside the base covers an area of more than two hundred square kilometers. There are many wild animals but they are not ferocious. Whether you are hunting or farming, they are very safe!" Slav! Blinking proudly, "We still have a lot of women. You Chinese men are men too, don't you want to marry a wife?"
Perhaps it was Nikolai's last two sentences that really moved them. After discussion for a long time, dozens of Tonghui men decided to temporarily live in the Noah base for a while, go hunting in the forest, collect some seeds, and wait until the severe Siberian cold above their heads passed. , and then go back to Tonghui together.
Nicholas was about to go up to pick up the remaining people, so he called a young man with blond hair and blue eyes to take the group of five people to rest. The young man led them through the narrow passage between several houses and entered another large cave.
Here is also a super large underground cave, and the light source is also luminous moss. A thirty-meter-high steel city wall surrounds a small base, and outside the high wall is a verdant forest. In the middle of the site is a high stone tower. One side of the tower is a standard sports field, and the other side uses the tower as the midpoint, radiating out several streets. There are simple houses, wooden houses and stone houses on both sides of the streets, which are similar to the small town that we just passed. The conditions are quite difficult.
The young man took them to the square and entered the tower alone. After a while, a small group of people came out under the leadership of the young man. The leading old fat man is a white man. The men behind him are both black and white, and there are two yellow-skinned men. They are all different in height, short, fat, and thin. They are all around level 20.
To be fair, living in such a relatively comfortable environment and still being in their early twenties, these people are actually very hardworking.
"Your abilities." Fatty Bai's Chinese was a little stiff. He looked at Bai Zhi with a smile, "Start with the beauties."
"What should I do?" Bai Zhi looked at Fatty Bai blankly.
Fatty Bai pointed at a yellow man and said to Bai Zhi: "Attack Yi."
Yi is one of the two with yellow skin. He is not tall, has strong muscles, has an average appearance, has a very kind attitude, and looks inconspicuous at all.
He walked to the open space, made a gesture and said, "Madam, please come first."
Bai Zhi summoned her sword, held it with both swords and chopped Yi directly, the sharp wind of the sword made a whistling sound. A metal shield suddenly appeared in front of Yi, and he smiled confidently behind the shield.
Beauty's sword skills are too simple and crude, and a metal shield can definitely defeat her. Not only Yi thought so, but also the vast majority of people present.
Yue Dongting protested: "She is just an auxiliary player and has almost no close combat ability."
Someone laughed loudly in stiff Chinese: "Did your partner use his beauty to defeat mutant beasts?"
Before the man finished speaking, the scimitar in Bai Zhi's hand had already cut into the golden shield, like a roasted table knife cutting into butter. The golden shield melted immediately. The purple light on the tip of the knife almost hit Yi's face. Yi quickly took a step back, and another golden shield that was twice as thick as the previous one appeared in front of him. Bai Zhi took a step forward and slashed with the sword again. The move was exactly the same as the previous one, but the sword light was much restrained. After cutting through the golden shield, the purple sword light was exactly three inches away from Yi.
Everyone could see that this simple and crude attack easily broke through Yi's defense, and the attacker still had the ability to control his own energy.
"Quite a sharp attack. Strong control over energy." Yi gave Bai Zhi a thumbs up. "The attack method is a bit monotonous, but as a support, it is good enough. In most teams, this kind of skill can be used as the main attack."
Yi was indeed a wise man. Bai Zhi smiled at him, flipped her wrist, and the scimitar turned into a purple mist and disappeared.
In just a short time, more than a dozen groups of people gathered on the playground, and there were actually quite a few women. Two groups were even made up entirely of women. The two all-female teams seemed to be very interested in Bai Zhi. The two female team leaders sandwiched the fat old man on the left and right, and started arguing after saying a few words. They spoke quickly, urgently, and in a high tone. Very low.
Zhang Tianzhao made a note and said: "These two women want to get Bai Zhi into their team. We need to show our hands and shut them up."
Yi Chao Yue Dongting tilted his head and motioned for him to come over.
Yue Dongting's boxing technique was similar to Muay Thai, and he knocked Yi Da down in a few blows. Another yellow man who replaced Yi came on stage and called himself Yamaguchi. As soon as they met, Haifengqiu fell to the ground and grabbed his throat. The styles of the two men are weird and flexible, while the other is simple and direct. Both of them use sharp contrast to prove that Bai Zhi has no melee ability, which is just a comparison with them.
Yue Dongting smiled brightly, "This kind of practice is meaningless. It's better to go to the forest and have a battle."
"Of course." The old white man looked kindly like the signature grandpa in a fast food restaurant. He clapped his hands and said, "Boys, what do you think is the most appropriate challenge for them to challenge?"
"Velociraptor." Yi and Yamaguchi, who were greatly embarrassed, said in unison.
Velociraptor is a mutant lizard in the forest that looks very much like a velociraptor. It lives in groups and is around level 20. It is very fast, has high defense and low attack, and is extremely difficult to deal with. There is a group of nine in total not far outside the base. Because these lizards are accustomed to wandering around, they can only stay in one place for two or three days at most, and they cannot scale the thirty-meter-high steel city wall. Killing them requires a human life. The base was short of manpower and no manpower was summoned to clear them out.
Although the strength of these five people is good, if they challenge nine completely unfamiliar mutant animals at the same time, the best result is to escape back to the base or be rescued. If they do not know the current situation, they may leave one or two lives behind.
The newcomers are indeed a bit high-profile and need education through setbacks. The old white man's gaze touched the firm-eyed Haifengqiu, and he accepted the suggestion.
Zhang Tianzhao calmly commented on the physiological habits of Velociraptor, a small dinosaur that was said to have become extinct 200 million years ago, and listed several characters in the movie as a reference for everyone to fight.
Standing on the top of the iron wall, you can see a forest clearing two kilometers away. The old white man pointed at the nine large lizards that walked upright on two legs and were covered with short colorful feathers playing in the clearing and said, "That's them."
These nine big reptiles are actually level 20 BOSS. If they use all their ultimate moves, any one of the five people can fight them alone. However, the five-man group still acted extremely cautiously, with Lin Yunlai and Zhang Tianzhao alternately covering the advance. Lin Yunlai and Haifengqiu protected Bai Zhi on the left and followed in the middle. When they appeared at the edge of the forest glade, the raptors spotted them and formed a semicircle around them excitedly.
The crowd watching the battle standing on the high steel wall was surprised to find that the ice powers in the five-person group were very powerful, and they actually created a thick layer of ice covering an area of several hundred square meters. Velociraptors are generally two and a half meters tall. When they climb onto the ice, they will sink into ice caves. Ice caves two to three meters deep cannot trap these beasts to death, but they can reduce the number of enemies they face at the same time. There are only two or three left.
Yue Hehai, who just came on to KO Yi and Yamaguchi in seconds, one has a wood-type ability using dark green vines, and the other has a gold-type ability using several rotating blades. They are extremely sharp in close combat, and they actually use long-range attacks. ! The two men who had not done anything just now looked like the second generation ancestors. Lin, who had been flirting with the beautiful women on the field, was actually standing in the most dangerous place, holding a gun and a shield to attract the attention of several raptors, moving from left to right. It's like a tank, very durable. The most elegant and handsome man among the four men is holding a heavy sword. With one swing of the sword, he can always knock back a raptor for more than ten meters. It is too fierce.
The only female "auxiliary" among them would jump out from the protective circle of four men from time to time, attack a certain lizard that was too close at an extremely fast speed, and lead the lizard into the ice cave, while still looking for every opportunity Attack, her attack strength is not high, she is just looking for the lizard's weakness. She soon found the weak spot, the lizard's eyes. The two long-range enemies immediately focus on the eyes, and the melee angle is also adjusted to facilitate long-range attacks.
Everyone stared at them for a long time, but they didn't see who was constantly releasing ice powers. These five people all seemed to be able to handle the intense battle with ease. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before they took down the nine raptors.
Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly. Yamaguchi, who looked gloomy, muttered silently, and his two men quietly left among the crowd.
When the first raptor fell, Bai Zhi and Zhang Tianzhao rushed over and touched the body at the same time.
"Two pieces of lizard skin, one heart." Bai Zhi reported the results.
"A small ball of copper. I've been looking for the material for a leather armor suit for a long time." Zhang Tianzhao smiled, "Kill them all."
The body, which was more than three meters long, including head and tail, was thrown out of the ice by Zhang Tianzhao by the tail. Bai Zhi jumped out and beat down the two velociraptors that were halfway up.
When the second raptor fell, a black cloud about a dozen cubic meters in size flew from the depths of the forest with a deafening buzzing sound.
"Is it a mutated bee? It's over level 20. I want wings!" Bai Zhi shouted softly.
Zhang Tianzhao, who originally came to attack with fire, threw a large ice net over his head. The black cloud split into two groups and pounced on the raptor's body. Countless fist-sized water droplets appeared in front of Zhang Tianzhao. Each water droplet collided with a one-inch-long mutant bee, wrapping it up and turning it into a transparent ice ball. Ice balls fell on the ice one after another, forming neat squares.
This super-powerful melee ice superpower has an incredibly sophisticated level of control over energy, and has extremely high field control capabilities. His combat effectiveness alone is equivalent to that of a fifty-man team! This five-person team has a clear division of labor, complementary abilities, and incredible combat effectiveness. The people standing on the high steel wall watching the battle gasped loudly, and they were all shocked.
After several waves of water droplets, only the bones of the two velociraptors remained. There was an ice hockey pyramid more than two meters high on the ice, and there was no mutant bee. Zhang Tianzhao jumped back and beat up a velociraptor that had just climbed into the ice cave. Bai Zhi moved to the side of the ice hockey pyramid, killing the mutant bees one by one and touching their wings. These mutated bees are not large in size, but their average level is over 20. Ice balls can only freeze them in place. Bai Zhi flicked an ice ball to pieces, swung a dagger to cut off the head of a slow-moving mutated wasp, touched a corpse, and flicked a small thunder ball to burn the corpse. Her movements were light and graceful.
"Do you have wings?" Lin Yunlai was teasing the three raptors while still having time to care about the harvest.
"Yes, there is also bee venom. There are a little bit of these mutant bees, and we can only gather the materials for two enchantments." Bai Zhi thought that there were too few mutant bees.
"Young master, let's bring in another group." Haifengqiu's knife immediately struck at the corpse of a raptor, splitting the corpse into dozens of pieces in the blink of an eye. He then ejected dozens of rotating triangular blade wheels, each of which He flew towards the direction where the wasp came from with a piece of flesh and blood.
The minced corpse did not attract mutant bees, but it attracted two groups of more than a hundred one-meter-long birds. After more than a hundred big birds were caught in the ice net, Bai Zhi still took action and knocked them to death one by one, and piled them neatly on the ice.
Bai Zhi harvested eighteen pieces of skin, six hearts, more than two hundred transparent wings, a dozen portions of bee venom, three sets of feathers, and dozens of clumps of down. The harvest was extremely rich. Zhang Tianzhao's harvest was only nine balls of copper. Although the quantity was small, the amount of copper used in leather armor accessories was less than that of mithril. Nine balls were enough to make nine sets of leather armor. Today was also a great harvest for him.
Two people came from the direction of the base, discussed with Yue Dongting for a while, and exchanged the base currency for a complete bird carcass and five complete lizard carcasses.
"Among the five of you, who is the leader?" The old white man's smile was warm and sincere now. The base is about to undergo a large-scale exploration, and the more experts, the better.
The old white man only now asked who was the leader of the five-person group, which showed that he still wanted to break up the five-person group at first. But the powerful strength displayed by the five-person group successfully made him give up his thoughts.
"Me." Yue Dongting responded in a deep voice. In this place, it is easier for others to accept him as the leader, and it is also convenient for him to inquire about information.
"You can get your accommodation by registering in the tower. The base sells all kinds of daily necessities and also buys prey." The old white man smiled and the fat on his chin trembled. After all, Yue Dongting was one of his own. He was the leader of this small team of five. Easy to control.
There are many conveniences and benefits brought by showing strength. The five-person group was led to an almost brand new wooden house near the tower. The previous owner of the cabin was also a team of five people. They were wiped out in the forest half a month ago. The only member who escaped was seriously injured and died.
Yue Dongting went out for a walk, came back and said with a smile: "The neighbor on the left is Yi's team, nine people, and the treatment they give us is that of a first-class team. I also have a friend Sergey in this base, who entered We are in the forest, and we can come back tomorrow. I should be able to find out the details of the base from Sergey."
"In this case, you stay at the base, and the four of us will go into the forest now." Haifengqiu said: "The mutant bees are not low in level but not big. This place is very strange. If there is a problem, we will leave immediately."
"Okay. Be careful." Yue Dongting sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest.
The forest is warm and humid, and the animals and plants have varying degrees of variation, but most of them still maintain the form of the native species before the apocalypse. The bugs are not high-level, and they look very reassuring.
Bai Zhi exclaimed as she walked, "There are all plants in the temperate zone, including insects. This is indeed a veritable Noah's Ark."
Hai Fengqiu spotted a big tree. Da Qinggong climbed to the top of the tree, took out his telescope and looked at it for a long time. Then he came down and said, "There is a cave in front of me. I saw a group of people coming out of the cave, dragging a few half-breeds on a small trailer." A giant rabbit carcass as tall as a man.”
They walked around behind a big tree that hugged each other and waited for a while. They waited until the team was far away before entering the cave. The cave is not deep. Next to the entrance is a huge cave that slopes downward. The entrance is at the highest point, overlooking the entire cave.
This is a narrow forest with tall mutated cedars and other deciduous trees, about two kilometers wide and thirty kilometers long. There is even a small village surrounded by stone walls at the end of the forest. With a telescope, you can clearly see the cave entrances scattered on the cave walls on both sides of the forest.
They only stood at the entrance of the cave for a short while when they were attacked by a group of rabbits spraying ice arrows and two snow wolves using wind blades. The mutated snow wolf howled before it died, summoning more than a dozen of its kind. These tall snow wolves with beautiful fur added more than a dozen pieces of beautiful silver fur to Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi was extremely satisfied when she checked her backpack. She had always wanted to make a beautiful little cloak for Mi An. The rabbit skin was soft and the wolf skin was super beautiful, so she just made two of them for Mi An.
It seems that there is no difference between this place and the caves outside Kunlun Ruins. The only difference is that the caves here are taller and have richer species.
Hai Fengqiu put the wolf and rabbit into his backpack, tried teleportation, and returned to the Dragon Palace smoothly.
The remaining three people did not move forward and found a place to stop and rest nearby. Bai Zhi returned to the space territory to boil NPCs, and sure enough, she found the formula of Haifengqiu. In addition to the enhanced version that can restore 60% of the blue medicine and red medicine at one time, there are also three physical and energy recovery formulas, which can restore physical strength or energy at one time. Ten percent, while restoring energy or physical strength by eight percent. The energy required to make these medicines is all thirty points. In other words, as long as there are enough materials, Hai Fengqiu can take medicine to restore energy or physical strength while providing potions to Bai Zhi and Zhang Tianzhao. Calculating this way, the five-person group will soon be able to completely change their costumes. Judging from the urinary properties of the system, new formulas can be prepared here, and most new materials can be found here. Next, they will definitely stay with Hai Fengqiu at the Noah base for a while.
When Hai Fengqiu came back, he brought Xiao Qi and Xiao Shan who were extremely excited. Zhang Tianzhao and Lin Yunlai took the initiative to hand over their ideal belts to facilitate their uncle's party to rob the paradise of animals and plants.
Xiaoshan discovered the flying skill immediately. He swayed and levitated several meters high in the air, shouting, "It's amazing, I can fly! Fifth sister, you are amazing."
Xiao Qi looked at the capacity, hugged Bai Zhi excitedly and kissed her, but he quickly turned his attention to the green forest below and asked, "How many caves like this are there?"
"There should be quite a few. We just arrived yesterday and only entered three of them. The faces of Oriental people are too conspicuous here. It takes time to find out the information." Haifengqiu said: "You two, be careful not to let others see your faces."
"No problem." Xiaoqi waved to them impatiently, "We've been wandering around this area for the past two days. Xiaoshan can contact Fifth Sister within a straight line range of two hundred kilometers. If you need anything, call her." In a blink of an eye, there was a call. The two figures, the big one and the small one, disappeared into the forest.
"Xiao Qi seems to have stolen my job!" Bai Zhi suddenly realized.
"I still need an assistant, so come with me." Zhang Tianzhao put his arm around her waist, "Let's carry a few rabbits back first. Dongting summons us to go back for dinner."
