Chapter 073 Zombie Apocalypse 11
West District Base.
The entire base has been lazy these days. The team that always goes out on time to find supplies and clear zombies has announced that they will gather again in two days.
It’s simple. There’s food at home, so we don’t have to worry about it.
Since the end of the world, everyone has been working hard day and night to survive, and finally they can rest for a day or two.
Wu Xuan carried the water she bought from the water-based psychic and watered the vegetable patch in the yard. From time to time, she would go back to the house to check on the two psychics in the room—her mother and her brother.
Perhaps because her mother had rich experience in planting, she awakened the wood-type ability during her first awakening, and was the first person in their family to awaken the ability.
But after the apocalypse, my mother was busy escaping and was almost constantly changing positions in the first six months, so she had no time and opportunity to practice her supernatural powers.
I stayed stable at the West District base. After being busy for a month or two, I moved to a house with a small yard and started my planting career.
After several months of cultivation, the level of supernatural power still remains at the first level.
Not to mention her mother and brother, even Wu Xuan felt it was a pity.
I heard that if you train your abilities as soon as possible after the awakening period, you can quickly reach the second level. The upgrade from the first level to the second level is the easiest and most convenient.
Her brother's gold-type supernatural power, which was awakened during the Second Great Awakening, was upgraded in just three months, which was closely related to his frequent use of supernatural powers on missions.
But after reaching the second level, his brother's ability level gradually stagnated.
As we all know, there are two main ways for psychics to upgrade their abilities.
One is to rely on the psychic himself to constantly train and exercise, repeatedly use and squeeze the psychic power in the body, consume - accumulate - continue to consume - accumulate again, and so on. After reaching a certain critical point, he can upgrade.
Another one is to absorb the energy in the crystal core for one's own use. Simply put, it saves time and effort in "accumulation" and speeds up the circulation.
The ratio of zombies to survivors is 9:1, so it is easy to obtain zombie crystal cores, and most people will choose to use crystal cores to speed up the circulation.
However, after Wu Xuan's brother Wu Feng reached the second level, he clearly felt that he was lacking energy when using the zombie crystal core to practice.
He must use the same type of gold crystal core to replenish enough energy.
However, the leader of their base, Liang Hongyu, is also a gold-type mutant.
This is very embarrassing.
The price Liang Hongyu offered was originally higher than Wu Feng's. Moreover, his ability had already reached the third level and needed to be upgraded. The team in the base that had obtained the gold crystal core was also willing to trade for one with a higher level of ability.
Only if the leader is more capable can their base continue to exist.
Wu Feng thought it would take a long time for him to level up, but he didn't expect that after eating three apples, he would be leveled up so unexpectedly!
I was in a drowsy state when I was upgrading, luckily I didn't have to go out for the past two days.
Wu Xuan didn’t know it was because of the apple. She just thought her brother was about to reach the critical point and this time he just happened to catch up.
The family exchanged a total of five apples. Because my brother liked to eat them, but Wu Xuan didn’t like them very much, she didn’t want them.
Wu Feng gave two to his mother. His mother Song Hui didn't want them at first, but fruits were rare, so she thought that after eating the apples, she could collect the cores and plant them. With her special ability, she might be able to eat countless apples next year, so she didn't refuse.
She really hadn't eaten fruit for a long time.
Before the end of the world, their family was well off and had fresh fruits every day.
Song Hui looked at the juicy apple and took a bite. It was crisp and sweet.
After she finished eating the whole apple, she was about to remove the core when she fell asleep.
This scared Wu Xuan.
How come one or two of them upgraded at this time?
She quickly carried her mother to the same room with her brother, and kept watch over her except when she went out to water the plants.
My brother was in a coma for a longer time, half a day longer than my mother. Fortunately, they both woke up almost at the same time at night.
"How is it?" Wu Xuan asked, her eyes full of anticipation.
Wu Feng took the lump of iron in his hand and fiddled with it left and right. He kneaded the lump of iron like plasticine. With a thought, the lump of iron turned into an arrow, and the next second it turned into a thin shield.
Wu Feng sighed: "I'm at level three."
Song Hui was also surprised and said, "I think I'm at the second level too."
She could feel that her connection with the plants had deepened.
Wu Xuan suppressed her excited screams, "That's great! You two have both been promoted! Our family is getting better and better!"
In the end times, strength is the only thing that matters.
Wu Feng looked at the apple core that had not been dealt with on the table, and his eyes flashed.
He remembered the feeling after eating the apple. It seemed that a very soothing energy flowed through his body, guiding the supernatural powers in his body to grow continuously.
Wu Feng licked his lips. He had been struggling to level up for a long time. Every time he went out, he would use up all his supernatural powers. After coming back, he would diligently practice with the zombie crystal core, not daring to delay for even a minute.
That's what makes that difference so special.
He asked, "Did Mom also eat the apple before the upgrade?"
Song Hui: "Yeah... Are you saying that our upgrade is related to this apple?"
Song Hui carefully savored the feeling of eating the apple, and suddenly realized that eating the apple was like replenishing a large amount of energy.
Vegetables grown using supernatural powers will contain energy.
These energy-rich vegetables are good for the human body and have always been in short supply.
In order to make money, their family doesn't eat much themselves.
But after all, she had eaten it before. Song Hui suddenly remembered and said with certainty: "This apple must have been cultivated by a higher-level psychic than me. The flesh contains energy and is very pure!"
The two looked at each other and both discovered the benefits of apples.
The apples were not cheap, costing one hundred crystal cores each. Wu Feng thought it was expensive, so he only bought five.
Now think about it, an apple is equivalent to a gold crystal core. The key is that you can get it as long as you buy an apple, which is really a good deal.
Wu Feng said: "I have to buy some more fruit."
Wu Xuan hurriedly said, "It's no longer available. The third-level space-based psychic seems to have left. Too many people in the base have been looking for him these past two days."
"What?!"
Liang Hongyu didn't dare to go out at all now. As soon as he went out, he would be surrounded by people from the base and asked where Xie Yunsui had gone.
He also wants to know where that guy is!
I knew he was powerful, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful. He won over the hearts of most people in the base in just half a night.
Wei Cheng pressed the bruise on his face, puzzled: "You said that guy...what does he want?"
Other teammates: "I thought I would never wake up."
"He knocked us out just to send us back to base to sell stuff?"
"That's right! What does he want..."
Liang Hongyu listened impatiently: "Instead of studying his purpose here, why not go find him and ask him in person!"
A third-level space ability user who has so many supplies to survive must not be snatched away by those three bases!
South District Base.
The burly man was digging the ground and planting new seeds in the pit.
"...I heard that the third-level space ability user sold a lot of food. I heard that the entire base was mobilized, and every family brought back a lot of rice and noodles. The instant noodles were sold by the box, and there was also fruit, fresh fruit!"
Xiang Ziming said without even looking up: "When these fruit trees of mine are ripe, there will be fresh fruits too."
"That's not the point, brother! He's a third-level space ability user!"
Xiao Xingjin said excitedly, "Which of those three bases doesn't have space ability users? As for our base, ever since Zou Yao snatched someone away last time, we can't recruit space ability users anymore. Now everyone has to drive two more cars when they go out to hunt zombies."
Xiang Ziming raised his head and looked at his brother: "...You stepped on my seed."
Xiao Xingjin shifted his feet: "No, why are you still farming? Is it the time to farm now?"
Xiang Ziming: "Isn't it time to farm now? By the time the exotic plants in the central area grow here, it will be too late to think about farming."
"...That's not what I meant. I've already hired someone to look after the crops in the central area, and they're not growing very fast right now." Xiao Xingjin saw that his boss was still paying no attention to the third-level space ability user, so he finally unleashed his ultimate weapon: "Brother, I also heard that he has a lot of seeds! All kinds of vegetable and fruit seeds, as well as potatoes and sweet potatoes."
Xiang Ziming's ears twitched: "Seeds? Are there really seeds?"
It's no wonder he was excited. He had almost searched every fruit store in the base, looking for seeds in the rotten fruits, but he couldn't find many active seeds.
Many of the seeds found in seed stores fail to germinate, perhaps because the soil is contaminated.
What Xiang Ziming is planting now is the result of several rounds of cultivation that have finally adapted to the current soil.
There is just one thing: it is a little difficult for these vegetables to produce seeds again.
There are many wood-type mutants in his base, and there are not enough seeds to distribute. Xiang Ziming has been studying the seed production day and night, and he is so confused.
When he heard that there were seeds for sale, he immediately became excited.
At the same time, North District Base.
Zou Yao had just gotten up from his comfortable state and was listening to his younger brother report on the latest situation in the West District.
"Tsk, when did Liang Hongyu start bragging?"
Zou Yao, a sturdy figure, dressed in a silk robe, poured himself a glass of red wine and said with a smile, "I just went out and ran into a level three psychic, a space-based one at that. He just gave me enough supplies to support his entire west base, and he even sold them cheaply. How come he gets all the good stuff? Do you believe this lie?"
The younger brother wiped his sweat, not daring to look at the boss or the man and woman on the bed. He lowered his head and whispered, "I heard that no team has gone out to look for supplies in the West District for two days. They haven't even killed zombies. They're all celebrating at home."
Zou Yao frowned: "This is unusual. Go and take another look. Is it Liang Hongyu who is going to be promoted?"
After his younger brother responded and left, Zou Yao took out a lightning crystal core and held it in his palm.
The energy was absorbed, but Zou Yao no longer had the feeling of energy being replenished into his body.
He has reached a bottleneck period.
Logically speaking, all third-level psychics except him will have a bottleneck period.
Being at the third level, Zou Yao, as a thunder-type mutant, has an attack power that can naturally suppress some non-attack-type mutants. This is why he can occupy the largest territory.
But if someone upgraded to level four before him, the situation would be different.
"...From the Central District?"
Zou Yao narrowed his eyes. He had ignored the Central District before simply because he felt it was unnecessary. There was only one super supermarket there. So what if all the supplies were looted?
They have a chain food brand warehouse in the North District, so they don’t have to worry about food.
"Come to think of it, those two little mice last time...hid in the central area."
-
Xie Yunsui, who is at the center of the topic, is still working diligently to improve his lover's favorability.
The building has twenty floors, with three households on each floor.
Considering that Venus flytraps and pitcher plants have a certain degree of attack power and are too large in size, even if their honey scent has no effect on Xie Yunsui, it still took a lot of time to clean them up.
Even if it took time, it should have been cleaned up in two days at most. But what was strange to Xie Yunsui was that no matter he cleaned from the first floor upwards or from the 20th floor downwards, as long as he didn't finish cleaning on the same day, he could still harvest a whole building of strange plants by cleaning again the next day.
Except for those in the corridor, even the alien plants in the room have all recovered.
Xie Yunsui: ...
Fortunately, the journey of clearing out the alien plants was not smooth, but I became much closer to Xiaoxi on the 12th floor.
Xiaoxi can already take the initiative to place orders!
"I want hot food that can fill my stomach, thank you ^-^"
There is a cute smiley face emoticon at the end of the small note pressed under the crystal core.
So cute~
