Chapter 50 Jin Lei's Advancement
"Be careful!" Wen Yu, who had hurried over, couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw more than a dozen leaves attacking Jiang Xun, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
Jiang Mi was not worried about Jiang Xun. She took advantage of the fact that Jiaocao's attack target shifted and hurried over to pull Jin Lei away.
"Where are the others?" She looked around but only saw Jin Lei.
Jin Lei spat out a mouthful of blood. He was covered in dirt and had many scars on his body. He took a breath and said with difficulty: "They are all under the ruins."
This is an old residential area. Not only are the buildings densely packed and the roads narrow, but there are also many vehicles parked. The pepper grass went crazy and knocked down three or four buildings around it. For a while, the scene was full of collapsed buildings. If you were really buried underneath, it is hard to say whether you would not be crushed to death.
"This mutant is very strong... We... ahem... Mr. Jiang can..." Jin Lei wanted Jiang Mi to help Jiang Xun, but before he could finish his words, he saw Jiang Xun raising his hand and releasing several flashing arcs of electricity. The attacking leaves were suddenly filled with shining lightning, twitching and twisting with their fangs and claws.
Jiang Xun did not stop. He continuously outputted lightning from his palms, firmly connecting the leaves. However, in the blink of an eye, the whole peperomia turned black, and the leaves were scorched by the powerful force of lightning and eventually turned into ashes.
Jiang Xun withdrew his hand and looked at the bare, dry and motionless peperomia in the middle of the ruins. He did not choose to approach it rashly, but released another ray of lightning and struck it hard. With a bang, the peperomia itself exploded, and an egg-sized blue-gray round bead rolled out.
Jin Lei stared in amazement, completely stunned.
This mutant that almost wiped out their entire team was killed just by raising his hand?
When Jiang Mi saw Jiang Xun put away the blue-gray crystal, there was a hint of assurance in his eyes.
This kind of extremely powerful mutant species at the beginning of the apocalypse could not have no crystals. Although there was no information about peperomia crystals when I first heard about it, every one of those famous mutant species later had crystals on their bodies.
Crystallization is the only way for those mutants to become stronger. Only with crystallization can wisdom and evolution be born.
She just took a look at the crystal of this peperomia. Although the overall color is still blue-gray, the gray part is very close to white, and the blue is also light blue. It can be said that the quality is very good.
According to the classification of crystals into upper, middle and lower grades given by those people later, this crystal is already very close to the middle grade. At this time, it should be considered a very good harvest.
Jiang Mi glanced at Jin Lei. Seeing his miserable appearance, he was really afraid that he would die accidentally. He took out two painkillers from the space and handed them to him. Then he walked to Jiang Xun and said, "The others should have been buried. We have to dig them out before dark."
It was already afternoon when Wenyu came to inform them. After such a short while, the sun was about to set. In another hour or so, when it gets dark, those mutants hiding in the dark corners will come out and become active.
"Search separately." Jiang Xun nodded. He had just experienced a big battle and his face was a little pale, but if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see anything unusual.
Obviously, it was too exhausting for him to kill this peperomia with such force.
"Drink some water." Jiang Mi handed him a bottle of water, which contained water from the space lake that she had specially filled.
Jiang Xun took it and drank half the bottle, then they both went their separate ways.
Fortunately, these people were not buried very deep. The only one who was buried the deepest had most of his body sunk inside, with only his shoulders and head exposed. When he was found, he had already fainted. It was not until he was dug out that Jiang Mi recognized that this man was Zhu San.
He also had a leg broken.
Jiang Mi gave each of them a bottle of mineral water, and after they woke up and took a rest, he headed back.
It was almost completely dark, and those mutants were already starting to stir. It was better to hurry back to avoid any further complications.
After stumbling all the way, they finally arrived back at the base when the last ray of light disappeared in the sky.
Jiang Xun and Jiang Mi were covering the rear, occasionally killing some mutants who could no longer hold back and rushed out, until they entered the building and closed the unit doors, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.
But it was really difficult to climb more than twenty floors with a seriously injured body.
Normally it only takes ten minutes to climb up, but today it took me more than half an hour.
Jiang Mi generously sponsored some medicine for their injuries, and left the promised drinking water for them, as well as a few boxes of self-heating rice, before leaving with Jiang Xun.
After all, you can't let the horse run without giving it grass to eat.
Speaking of which, Jin Lei and his team ventured into Dongyu Street today in order to find a team of survivors there. It was also a way to do something for them, so they couldn't be too stingy.
After a night of repairs, someone knocked on the door early the next morning.
The man who came was Jin Lei's younger brother Jin Feng, also a man over 1.80 meters tall, but compared to Jin Lei's face that looked like he was in his thirties, he looked much younger. At the moment, his face looked a little haggard, his eye sockets were sunken, and there was dark circles under his eyes. There was a circle of dark stubble on his chin, and with his messy clothes, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a homeless person on the street.
"My brother has a fever, I... I don't know if it's a normal fever or an advanced one. You saved me, so you should be able to tell the difference, so I would like you to take a look." He said in a hoarse voice, looking a little uneasy.
Jiang Mi nodded without asking any more questions and let him lead the way.
After seeing Jin Lei, Jiang Mi checked and found that Jin Lei was actually advancing.
But his situation is very dangerous now.
Originally, advancement is something that consumes a lot of physical energy. It is difficult for a healthy person to withstand the advancement because they cannot replenish the body's needs, which leads to failure. Now Jin Lei is seriously injured and has not received good medical treatment, yet he suddenly starts to advance.
If you are not careful, you might lose your life.
Jiang Mi turned his gaze towards Jiang Xun.
From her eyes, Jiang Xun already knew Jin Lei's condition. A trace of contemplation flashed across his eyes. After a moment, he said to Jin Feng, who was waiting for their notification with a worried look on his face, "He is advancing."
"But it's very dangerous now. We could lose our lives at any time."
The calm words made Jin Feng's expression tense, and he was at a loss as to what to do: "Then what should I do!"
His reaction made Jiang Mi couldn't help but look sideways. How could Jin Lei, a man with a meticulous mind, calmness and decisiveness, have such a simple brother?
"My brother said that you saved my life, so you can definitely save my brother, right? Please save my brother! I'm willing to do anything to save him!" Jin Feng said hurriedly, looking at Jin Lei who was lying on the bed with a painful expression.
Jiang Mi: I seem to have heard this somewhere before?
