Chapter 46 I'm Willing to Do Anything
The last ray of sunlight disappeared from the horizon, and the entire city of P fell into complete darkness.
Jiang Mi burped, then walked to the window with a glass of juice and looked down. In the dim darkness, he could see many small black dots coming out of the houses, wandering around the streets, and occasionally running quickly when they heard any noise.
"The strength of those deformed people has increased again." She said softly.
If the initial speed of the mutants was equivalent to walking slowly, then now it is equivalent to jogging. When it is improved again, it will become running fast, and some mutants with unique abilities will also evolve.
It's like, the survivors and the deformed people are two completely different evolutionary paths.
But the deformed man was unable to retain his sanity.
Jiang Xun cleaned up the mess, walked over to her and looked down, his eyes faintly revealing a bit of heat, "I can feel that I'm about to advance."
Jiang Mi was stunned, "Is it time to advance again?"
This speed is not right. It seems that it has been less than a month since the last time I advanced to level three.
Jiang Xun frowned slightly, "I just have a feeling, but I don't know how long it will take. Maybe it has something to do with the water in the space lake. But next, I need a lot of battles to advance."
Jiang Mi nodded. "I was planning to start a sweep of P City from tomorrow. It would be best if we could get rid of that mutated peperomia."
At this point, Jiang Mi's eyes lit up slightly, "There should be quite a few mutants now, so let's try our luck and see if we can collect crystals from them."
Jiang Xun heard this word for the first time, "Crystallization?"
Jiang Mi nodded. "Crystals are found only in mutant plants and animals. They are a blue-gray active substance, a bit like stones. They are inedible and cannot be touched directly. However, after special processing, they are made into a medicine that helps human superpowers improve their strength. The lighter the color, the higher the value."
"But even if there are a hundred mutants, it is not certain that one crystal will be produced. Therefore, in the future, crystals will become the only settlement currency for transactions between the major survivor bases."
At this point, Jiang Mi seemed to have thought of something, his eyes moved slightly, "Brother, do you think the lake water will be effective in catalyzing crystallization?"
Crystallization is really rare. If it could be catalyzed artificially, wouldn’t that be a fortune?
Jiang Xun was also somewhat tempted when he heard this, "You can give it a try."
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Xun walked to the door and looked into the peephole, then turned back and whispered, "It's Wenyu."
Jiang Mi raised his eyebrows. It was already nine o'clock in the evening. What were they doing here at this time?
She had no intention of letting Wenyu in, so she hid in the corner of the entrance and let Jiang Xun open the door.
"Is there anything wrong?" Jiang Xun looked at Wen Yu, who was wrapped tightly, with an expressionless face.
Wenyu glanced around the room calmly. As soon as she opened the door, she smelled the strong aroma of hot pot, which further confirmed her thoughts.
"This building is not quiet at night. There are many mutants now. They move around everywhere at night. I just came here to remind you. If you find anything, you can come to me."
Wenyu deliberately softened her voice, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Jiang Xun in front of her.
Jiang Xun nodded, "Thank you."
He was about to close the door, but Wenyu quickly raised her hand and pressed it against the door to stop him, smiling awkwardly, "Actually, I have one more thing I want to ask you."
Jiang Xun didn't say anything, just looked at her.
Wenyu looked back and whispered, gritting her teeth, "Since you can come up with a potion that can perfectly advance, you must have a potion that can repair the deformation after advancement, right?"
Her voice was sharp and urgent at the end.
Jiang Xun shook his head, his voice cold and ruthless, "No."
"You must have it! Please! I'm willing to do anything as long as you can give me that potion!" Wenyu's voice was extremely urgent and her eyes were pleading.
"I'm sorry, really not. At least so far, the distortion cannot be reversed." Jiang Xun shook his head.
Wenyu stood there, not wanting to accept this result, but the facts were right in front of her.
She subconsciously raised her hand and touched her cheek. The uneven and slightly moving feeling under her fingertips almost drove her crazy.
After a long silence, Wenyu lowered her head and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, I understand."
After saying that, she turned and left. Jiang Xun frowned slightly as he looked at her back. After closing the door, he looked at Jiang Mi who came out from the corner and said, "Send her away."
"She probably won't believe it." Jiang Mi yawned nonchalantly and walked towards the bedroom. "But who cares? What does it have to do with us? Let's go to bed early today. We'll set off early tomorrow morning."
Jiang Xun also returned to the room after taking alarm measures at the door.
Early the next morning.
After a comfortable night's sleep, Jiang Mi leaned comfortably on the balcony with a hot bun in one hand and hot soy milk in the other, looking through the window at Jin Lei's team who had set out downstairs to look for supplies.
"I don't know how many survivors there are in City P." Jiang Mi said vaguely after taking a bite of a meat bun.
In the apocalypse, dealing with these survivors is not as good as dealing with those mutants. At least the purpose of those mutants is very clear, they just want your body, and they are steadfast and will not be moved by external things.
Jiang Xun finished the last sip of soy milk and began to check the equipment he would need for this trip, while urging, “Eat quickly!”
Jiang Mi finished the food in his hand in a few bites, got dressed and left the house.
It snowed again last night. The snow was already above the knees, making it extremely difficult to walk. Fortunately, Jin Lei's team had cleared a path for them in advance, so they just had to follow in their footprints.
Walking to a fork in the road, Jiang Mi looked at the traces left by Jin Lei's team, then turned and walked towards another road.
She had no plan to go into the shops on the lower floors. She would rather go to the larger supermarkets.
Soon we found a large supermarket underground.
There was a thick layer of snow at the entrance of the supermarket. It looked like no one had been there. Behind the transparent leather curtain was pitch black.
Jiang Mi lifted a door curtain. At the end of the downward-sloping entrance was a T-shaped fork in the road. It seemed that both sides were accessible. Along the road were various transparent counters. The things in the counters had been taken away, and a lot of messy items were thrown on the ground.
"There have been survivors who have swept through."
Jiang Mi whispered, and just as he finished speaking, he heard a roar from the supermarket.
Jiang Xun's eyes lit up and he took the lead to step in. Jiang Mi took out two flashlights and handed one to him. When the high-intensity flashlight was turned on, the view in front of him was immediately illuminated.
Shining the flashlight to the right, the aisles on both sides were filled with various cleaned and messy counters, and the interior of the supermarket could be seen not far away.
There was a storage cabinet on the left, nothing to see, so they walked to the right together. After taking a few steps, the flashlight swept across a mutant that was motionless in front of a display cabinet. Before she could even see what the thing looked like, a dazzling blue-purple electric light shot past her.
