Chapter 15 Let the end of the world come even more violently! (3)
Having experienced this once before, Lu Weiyi withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened, took out a few stacks of cash, and went to the supermarket in the community.
I slept for a long time. The fast food in the supermarket has been cleared out. The prices of the remaining barrels of water have increased five or six times. There are still a lot of flour, rice and grains left, and their prices have also increased slightly. However, the prices of condiments and daily necessities have not changed much.
Since there was no food to eat right away, it wouldn't be a wasted trip. Lu Weiyi didn't pick and choose and just bought everything he could eat.
The person who was checking out was a middle-aged woman. Seeing that there were still some impractical things like oil and seasonings in his carts, she advised him, "Young man, these things you have are of no use. There is no electricity or water now, and you can't cook. You might as well buy some fast food from somewhere else while you still have money and wait for the government to rescue you."
No more state rescue!
Lu Weiyi thought to himself, smiled, threw down a stack of cash, and did not respond to her.
There were several carts full of things, but it was not easy to carry them without an elevator. Lu Weiyi turned a corner where no one was around, put the things into the space, and returned home.
Lu Weiyi planned to strengthen his supernatural powers at home, and then wait for Zhuang Mingxu to arrive before going out to hunt zombies together.
According to scientists' research, there are two types of zombies that have appeared, with the global snowstorm as the dividing line. The previous types were mutated by direct triggering of zombie energy. They have a white round crystal nucleus the size of a marble in their brains, named the bead nucleus, which has violent energy and will directly turn into zombies after absorption;.
As for the zombies after a heavy snow, a prismatic crystal core will appear in the brains of all creatures, which is called a crystal core. It is neutralized by anti-zombie energy, and its color changes to various colors according to the five elements of superpowers, and it also reduces its brutality. After absorption, it can help the superpowers to upgrade, but this absorption is also extremely particular.
Psychics can only absorb zombie crystal cores that are lower in level than themselves, otherwise they will explode and die. However, low-level crystal cores also contain zombie energy. If used excessively, the residual zombie energy will accumulate and after a certain point, it will still cause the psychic powers to get out of control and cause explosion and death.
With the popularity of various novels, people are extremely receptive to the crystal cores in the zombies' brains. At the same time, some middle school boys and girls really believe that they can directly improve their abilities as described in the novels. In the early days of the appearance of crystal cores, many people were transformed into zombies due to direct absorption. As for the Five Elements Crystal Nuclei that appeared later, no one had a grasp of how to use them at first, and people still avoided them like the plague. This also meant that no one paid any attention to the Crystal Nuclei for a period of time.
It was not until many experiments later, after people figured out a method, that it became a priceless treasure, but white bead cores were still excluded. Little did people know that the white bead core contained huge zombie energy. As long as it was neutralized with a sufficient amount of anti-zombie energy, it could be transformed into mutant energy that could be directly absorbed without any side effects.
There are only two kinds of things that contain unknown energy. One is the global heavy snow, and the other is the crystal core of mutated plants.
Mutated plants are divided into different levels, and the effect of the crystal core is naturally better the higher the level. It takes time to increase the level, which also led to many masters dying from excessive absorption of zombie crystal cores and exploding to death at the beginning.
Even though he was ignorant of the world, Lu Weiyi knew the importance of these two life-saving things, and his goal was the heavy snow - he had to collect as many as possible when the snow fell. This required his special abilities, and in any area covered by his mental power, he could directly put anything into the space. But now his special abilities could only cover a small area around him, and he couldn't even cover himself with a layer of shielding energy.
The evolution of superpowers requires a constant repetition of the process of consumption and recovery. After a superpower user has exhausted all of his superpowers, his body will feel uncomfortable. The most direct manifestation is a splitting headache. This is a painful and monotonous process.
Fortunately, in the last few years of the world, although Zhuang Mingxu took good care of Lu Weiyi, he was never vague about the evolution of his superpowers, and he had long since adapted to such pain.
Lu Weiyi was alone at home, working day and night to improve his supernatural powers, and the outside world was already beginning to become chaotic.
At the beginning of the earthquake, the government and the police department took control of the situation at the first time, announcing that they were waiting for national rescue. However, after a few days, there was no news and the information network showed no signs of recovery. Instead, more and more people suddenly fell ill. The hospital was overcrowded and there was no extra space to accommodate the patients. The crowded situation resulted in the first zombie appearing within a few hours, and the entire hospital became a gathering place for zombies.
The collapse of the information system meant that senior government officials learned the news much later, the situation got out of control, and social order began to collapse.
