Chapter 3 Fighting Practice
Qin Zhiyu frowned and glanced at the place where the street lights could not reach, thinking that if this man continued to chase after her, he would probably be in trouble.
There are more than three days left in the countdown to doomsday. Has the mutation already begun?
During the first week, I was still on duty. I was exhausted every day and had no time to observe the outside world, so I didn't notice these changes.
This unexpected change made the already tense atmosphere even more tense.
A few passersby nearby, whose genders couldn't be clearly identified, didn't offer a helping hand. They wrapped themselves in their coats and left quickly, all wanting to go home quickly to eat a hot meal and go to sleep.
Qin Zhiyu did not delay. Her palms were sweating as she held the bag. She quickened her pace, wanting to return home quickly to test whether the [blood sacrifice] required by this system was consistent with what she expected.
The community, which usually has good green areas, is now full of crises.
Just as he was thinking, Qin Zhiyu heard a rustling sound under his feet. He shuddered suddenly and felt something thick and cold wrapped around his feet, dragging them away with great force.
In a split second, Qin Zhiyu's heart raced. What was this? Was it a snake? Or was it a trap?
"ah!--"
With a swish sound, Qin Zhiyu was dragged into the vegetation. A lot of mud and sand on the ground scratched her back, and the hard and sharp stones hurt her.
"Oh no! Why did this guy suddenly fall to the ground? It looks like he was dragged into the bamboo forest!"
The woman on the roadside opened her squinted eyes in surprise and watched Qin Zhiyu being dragged away. She felt that she had never seen anything like this before. Could it be that he was being retaliated by some enemy? Not wanting to get into trouble, she left quickly.
Qin Zhiyu tried his best to curl up his limbs and hug his head to avoid hitting more branches.
Two huge umbrella-shaped mushrooms were flashing with purple fluorescence, and seaweed-like creatures the size of a washbasin were wriggling their tentacles, emitting emerald green light.
One of the vines was dragging Qin Zhiyu, hiding in the tall bushes. He thought it was a snake just now, but it turned out to be a vine.
She struggled to keep her eyes open, staying calm and awake as the silver-green vines crawled up her feet and onto her body, binding her with increasing force, trying to strangle her.
Being strangled to death is a very ugly thought. The vine was still crawling upwards. Qin Zhiyu held its root tightly to prevent it from climbing further, but she was still slowly dragged into the root of the vine.
Qin Zhiyu looked at the root that was three fingers thick. Both of his legs were tied up and he was about to lose strength. If he didn't find a way to kill the vine, he would end up becoming its fertilizer.
Qin Zhiyu smashed the chickens, ducks, and fish in his hands towards the roots of the vines, each hit accurate and fierce.
The effect of weight-bearing training was also reflected at this time. A few hits caused fish scales and bird feathers to fly everywhere. Fortunately, the beaks of the chickens and ducks were tied up in advance, otherwise hearing their screams might affect the speed of my attack.
Qin Zhiyu aimed his sharp beak at the rhizome, and with continuous blows, he left a thumb-wide scar on the rhizome of the vine, revealing the silver-green light in the middle.
Qin Zhiyu looked at the shape of the fingernail and the light spot stained with blood, and felt that this might be the reason why this ordinary vine became extraordinary.
"Never mind!" She closed her eyes, exerted force on her waist, bent her body suddenly, and bit the root of the vine.
"Even if it means losing my teeth, I will bite you to pieces!"
Qin Zhiyu felt like she was biting a sponge, which was soft but very tough. She felt her teeth aching and didn't know how long she had been biting it.
"Bang bang".
Qin Zhiyu vaguely felt as if she had bitten into a piece of hard candy with a filling. The sour juice flowed into her throat. She swallowed desperately to survive.
Qin Zhiyu had only one belief, that he could bite the tiny vine to death!
She had just obtained the system and was about to have the opportunity to change her destiny. The future was full of infinite hope, and nothing could stop her from living. She wanted to live longer than she did in the first round!
Layers of dark clouds covered the sky. It was autumn, but at four o'clock in the afternoon, it was pitch dark.
The thick dust can be clearly felt even when wearing an N95 mask. The dense smoke and dust are inhaled with breathing, putting a heavy burden on the lungs.
"Pah, if you don't know, you'd think you swallowed bitter melon and lemon juice raw!"
Qin Zhiyu slowly opened his eyes, felt his consciousness and physical strength slowly returning, the force on his feet disappeared, and he loosened his mouth.
She frowned and stared at the sky for a long time. Her right eye felt a sharp pain. Suddenly, she seemed to see countless things in the world passing by in front of her eyes, but she was confused and powerless.
[Ding——Natural Disaster System Activated Successfully]
[System: Congratulations on killing the "Mutated Parasitic Vine." You have exceeded the requirements for the [Blood Sacrifice]. The Natural Disaster System has been officially activated!]
"It's activated! I didn't expect this blood sacrifice method to actually work. This vine actually came to me as a sacrifice!"
Qin Zhiyu smiled. Looking at the activated system and the refreshed messages, he was very excited. After all, this was one of the guarantees for survival in the doomsday. Of course, the more awesome it was, the better.
[Level: 1]
[Experience: 0/1000]
【Function: Copy (locked)】
You can copy three common items every day, which can be used after a natural disaster occurs. The quota is refreshed at 00:00.
[Function: Reconnaissance (2/2)]
Since you unlocked and activated the system through mutant blood sacrifice, the reconnaissance function was disabled in advance, and a daily reconnaissance quota of +1 was added. The quota will be refreshed at 00:00 every day.
[System: You directly and roughly consumed the crystals of the mutant vines. Thanks to your lucky goddess's blessing today, your body has resisted the mutant toxins, and you have received a huge bonus of +5 Constitution!]
Qin Zhiyu didn't expect that her own wild chicken system would give her such a big surprise. Copying*3, even ordinary items, would be of great help in the early stage of doomsday.
After all, it is the novice period, where do so many high-quality items come from?
Moreover, the system can be upgraded, and its future capabilities will surely be even more amazing.
As for this reconnaissance capability, there are many mutated creatures, miracles, and useful supplies in natural disasters.
Possessing the means of investigation, you will be able to find resources around you in the future when others are using various means, thinking hard and exploring, or are being ignored by others.
With just one skill, I can see the whole picture without any effort, using only one cooldown point. It is undoubtedly more powerful than a tiger with wings! Who wouldn't be jealous of the natural disaster?
Qin Zhiyu's eyes fell on the last system notification, and he could hardly suppress his excitement.
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk!
[Constitution +5] couldn’t be more practical. My starting point for surviving natural disasters has been raised again!
After a natural disaster strikes, physical fitness determines the basic attributes of different people. If one has a high physical fitness, not only can one's vitality be improved, but survival will be more secure, commonly known as a long life.
Furthermore, basic strength and agility had all been significantly improved, which was very beneficial in the long run. How could she not be excited? She was so calm that she didn't jump.
He pulled off the vines wrapped around his body, sat on the ground and looked around.
The sky was gray. I don’t know how much time had passed, but the two basketball-sized mushrooms were still flashing purple light, and together with the color of the vines, they were inexplicably beautiful in the night.
Chicken and duck feathers were flying everywhere, and the fish thrown aside were motionless, apparently having died in the melee.
The vines are also dead, and their emerald green color shows how vigorous their vitality was when they were alive.
"It seems that they are most likely the overlords of this bamboo forest."
Qin Zhiyu used the light of the mushroom to grope for the mobile phone in his pocket, 20:29.
From the time I woke up and recorded the first week to the time I went out to buy groceries, including the round trip time, it took less than two hours.
If you look closely, you will find that these bamboos have become unusually thick, while the nearby bamboos are only found in the garden on the northeast side of the community.
There was still a sour taste in Qin Zhiyu's mouth, as his mask had been torn off during the fight.
She looked at the big mushrooms and thick bamboos around her and thought that this mushroom must be extraordinary, being so big and glowing.
The surrounding growing environment is very dry. It is not the rainy season and there has been no rain recently. It is not suitable for their growth, but they still mutated. They worked hard to grow up, but they just made a wedding dress for her.
The [Reconnaissance] skill has been unlocked, so does it mean that there are detectable resources nearby?
There are still two chances today, and it will be refreshed in a few hours, so why not give it a try!
Qin Zhiyu was a little expectant and turned his gaze to the detection button.
"Should I use a reconnaissance?"
Yes or No
Select "Yes"
[System: You used the "Scouting Skill" for the first time, detecting resources within a 100-meter radius and obtaining a data resource map within a 300-meter radius. Natural Disaster System Experience +10]
[System: You have detected "Mutated Euonymus fortunei (Death)"*1, "Nutritious Swelling Mushroom"*2]
[System: Before the natural disaster officially arrives, if you encounter mutated creatures, you can choose to pick them and have them converted into experience points by this system.]
"Sure enough! Now that I've activated this skill, there's no reason it wouldn't be useful. I win the bet!"
“Picking, of course!”
Qin Zhiyu noticed that new buttons [Illustrated Book] and [Resources] appeared on his system page.
[Illustrated Book] It collects two identified plant paintings and explains in detail their uses and picking methods.
[Resources] transforms the entire area scanned by the investigation into a horizontal and vertical coordinate chart, with each location marked with a number indicating its specific location and name, appearing in the consciousness in the form of a two-dimensional chart.
Qin Zhiyu clicked on the picture book.
Mutated Euphorbia fortunei: Its powerful parasitic and entanglement abilities make it difficult to kill once it has a host. The only way to collect it is to obtain the energy crystals refined from the roots of Euphorbia fortunei. The flexible vines have a wide range of uses.
The nutritious Puffing Mushroom: It was originally an ordinary poisonous mushroom that could make people lie down after eating it. However, in order to avoid being sucked dry by the ivy, it evolved into the nutritious variety it is today. The most direct way to obtain it is to break it!
Please let me know, I'm not a single player.
