"The food blind box has been drawn. You drew the crystal core blind box." Jiang Han explained, looking at the things in the girl's hand, a little curious, "See what you drew?"
"Crystal core blind box? What is this thing for? Can it heal injuries?" The girl's name is Wei Xuan. She held up the small orange-yellow object and fell into despair. "My friend was seriously injured. I heard that there was food here, so I brought her here."
In the case of being injured and unable to find a source of medicine, most people here thought that eating something might help them get better.
Gradually, it became a matter of course that you need to eat something when you are injured.
Someone in Jiang Han's team noticed that Wei Xuan had many scars on her arms, some deep and some shallow, some new and some old. He came to Jiang Han and whispered, "She looks like a blood sheep."
Mutated animals and plants are attracted by the smell of blood. Some teams of superpowers spend a small amount of resources to hunt high-level mutants and adopt ordinary people who have no ability to live to attract monsters.
Later, ordinary people who use blood to lure high-level mutant animals and plants for survival are called blood sheep.
Not long after the day of impermanence came, superpowers began to awaken among humans.
Superpowers have stronger physical fitness, adaptability and immunity than ordinary people. With the blessing of superpowers, they are also more capable of collecting supplies and protecting the team.
Soon someone discovered that the probability of superpowers appearing in newborns is higher.
In the first four or five years, even though natural disasters continued, many newborns were still born.
However, children who did not awaken their superpowers after the age of seven were judged to be a minority who could not evolve.
As the days of impermanence continued, resources became scarce, and it became increasingly difficult to raise children. Some people began to secretly abandon children who were judged to be minorities.
This girl looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, skinny and almost skinny, with so many scars on her body. She was probably one of the minorities in the new generation who could not awaken their superpowers, and she became a blood sheep for the sake of rebirth.
Jiang Han was stunned for a moment, looking at the small object lying in the girl's palm. It was orange-yellow in color, less than fifteen centimeters long, and about two fingers wide.
From the appearance, it was impossible to tell what it was, nor did it seem to be related to the crystal core, but it was definitely not edible.
He took out 15 yuan of blind box coins from his pocket and said to Wei Xuan, "This is not food. If you don't want it, I'll give you 15 yuan and the item will be mine. The blind box store should have new food blind boxes tomorrow, and you can come and redeem them then."
The ground suddenly shook, and a sharp hissing sound came from outside the door.
Wei Xuan's face changed, and she turned and ran out.
Jiang Han and a few others followed him out. A girl about the same age as Wei Xuan was lying at the door, with blood all over her arm.
On the bridge across the street, a huge mutant rat that was almost half a building tall was moving towards the blind box store, obviously attracted by the smell of blood.
Wei Xuan struggled to help the unconscious Nie Yu up, but she had no strength and was anxious, so she couldn't do it at all.
The people in Jiang Han's team were stunned.
"Fuck! The mutant rat is about to be led into the store!"
"The rat's eyes are not right, is it a high-level mutant beast?"
Jiang Han's expression was solemn: "It's too big, it seems that this mutant rat is about to advance. Get ready."
Teammates retreated one after another: "Brother Han, we really can't beat this!"
Jiang Han: "It's okay, Brother Chi is here."
He thought Chi Jin was behind him, so he turned his head to look.
Except for a few idiot teammates who were about to retreat to the door, the young man in a white coat who had a morbid dependence on sunglasses was not there at all.
Jiang Han: "..." Lu Yao
saw the commotion outside the door through the surveillance, got up and came out, looked up and saw the young man wearing sunglasses still standing next to the blind box machine, nodded slightly, and walked out quickly.
The young man's thin lips curled up a little, and he followed slowly with his hands in his pockets.
Outside the door, the mutant rat moved clumsily due to its huge size, but it was approaching at a fast speed.
Jiang Han stood stiffly for two seconds, then walked over to help Wei Xuan.
If you can't beat them, you can only run. Lu Yao
came out, and her back tingled slightly as she watched the mutant rat approaching in a straight line.
With the arrival of the transition period, many huge carnivorous plants and some strange animals emerged around the Fairy Tale Square.
She had seen quite a few of them, and knew that they were mutated plants and animals, and also the source of crystal nuclei.
But this mutant rat was too fat, with black hair all over its body standing up like hard steel needles, two big red eyes like cloth lanterns, and long and sharp claws. It was really scary when it ran.
However, this is also an opportunity.
Lu Yao endured the numbness in his back and walked to Wei Xuan, "Lend me your knife."
Wei Xuan was stunned: "What?"
Lu Yao raised his wrist, "The little thing you took out of the blind box."
Wei Xuan didn't understand what she meant.
"Hurry up." Lu Yao urged.
"Here." Wei Xuan fumbled out of her pocket and handed it over. Lu
Yao took it in his hand and pressed the pull tab on the handle. The golden blade popped out like a flowing flame.
She turned the golden knife in her hand and slowly walked to the center of the square, walking towards the mutant rat.
The people in Jiang Han's team were surprised and scared.
"Is that the store owner? She's not going to use that knife to fight the perverted rat, is she?"
"Brother Han, quickly pull the store owner back. That knife can't even pierce the rat's skin, she'll die!"
"The store owner should be a superpower, right? Does she have any plans?"
"We are superpowers too. One look at it and you'll know that this rat is definitely not ordinary. It looks like a rat that's about to turn black. Ten top superpowers can't beat it."
Jiang Han noticed Chi Jin coming out and immediately asked for help: "Brother Chi, go save the store owner."
Unfortunately, it was a little late.
The huge mutant rat suddenly accelerated, leaped, and landed straight in the center of the Fairy Tale Square, smashing the ground into spider web cracks.
The rat had already discovered Lu Yao, and before it could stand firm, its sharp claws flew over, aiming at the fragile neck of this human.
If it strikes down with its claws, it will not only cut off her neck, but also her head into pieces.
The mutant rat seems to have foreseen the next scene, and its eyes glow red and it screams excitedly.
"Ka--"
The mutant mouse was stunned. Its claws stopped at the edge of the human's ear and were blocked by a narrow golden blade, unable to move forward an inch.
Lu Yao gently exerted force on his hands and pushed outward. With
a "swish", the entire claw of the mouse was easily cut off. With a "bang", the piece of meat fell heavily on the ground, and the mutant mouse raised its head and roared.
Lu Yao swung his knife straight up, along the cross-section of the broken limb, and cut off one of the mouse's arms.
The team members at the door of the blind box store stared.
"Fuck! Is the owner so powerful?"
"That knife, isn't that knife a little too bad?"
"Fuck fuck fuck fuck! Can I be so powerful with that knife?"
"The mouse is almost dead!!!" The
mutant mouse is very large, with hard skin and hair turned into hard thorns.
Logically, it would be difficult to give it a fatal blow.
But the shop owner stood in the middle of the square, raised his hand and threw the golden knife out, hitting the mouse between the eyebrows, as easy as cutting tofu.
The giant mutant mouse fell to the ground with a bang, and the body turned into ash, leaving only a huge gray crystal core.
Lu Yao bent down to pick up the crystal core, picked up the knife, turned around and walked towards the blind box store.
The members of Jiang Han's team huddled together, looking at Lu Yao with sparkling eyes... the crystal core in his hand and the knife that had been sheathed.
"It is indeed a gray crystal core. If it is a little later, it will turn black." Lu Yao
stopped and said, "What is the difference between a gray crystal core and a gray one?"
Jiang Han said, "The crystal cores of high-level mutants are generally red, but there are black crystal cores that are more advanced than red ones. There are very few of these mutant animals and plants, but the appearance of one will bring about a huge disaster. It will command other mutant animals and plants to besiege the base. If the mouse just now eats one or two more high-level mutant animals or plants, it will turn black. Fortunately, you solved it."
"So that's how it is." Lu Yao nodded to show that he understood, turned around and walked to Wei Xuan, handing over the knife: "If you don't want this, I can take it back and exchange it for a 15-yuan food blind box for you."
The members of Jiang Han's team gathered around Lu Yao, curiously wanting to touch the knife in her hand.
"Shopkeeper, what's wrong with this knife? Why is it so sharp?"
"Is it because the shopkeeper's superpowers are particularly powerful, and he is very good at using this kind of small weapon?"
Lu Yao thought to himself, "I've been waiting for you to ask," with a calm face, shaking his head: "No, you misunderstood. I don't have superpowers, I'm just an ordinary person."
Team members: "... Shopkeeper, are you kidding?"
Lu Yao pressed the spring knife again and introduced: "The name of this prop is the liquid crystal core knife, and the blade is filled with high-precision degree of crystal core energy. Look carefully, there is flowing golden liquid in the blade. The purified crystal core energy has huge energy, and when it is arranged in such a thin layer, it is sharper than any weapon of any material. It is not picky about the user, ordinary people and people with special powers can use it to easily kill mutant plants and animals. "
Wei Xuan's expression moved. If she had this knife, she and Nie Yu would no longer have to be blood sheep. They could go out hunting and collect crystal cores without special powers.
When she was abandoned by her parents, she was still very young and she didn't even remember how to be a blood sheep.
From the age of a few years old to the age of ten, she kept bleeding as bait to obtain a little food to fill her stomach, as long as she didn't die.
Later, it was almost impossible to cut a bloody mark on her body, and even if she managed to cut a wound, it could no longer attract mutants, so she was abandoned by the team. It was Nie Yu, who was also a blood sheep , who took her in.
If she didn't have to support the lives of two people, Nie Yu wouldn't have worked so hard to be a blood sheep for two teams at the same time.
Her body was so exhausted that she made mistakes during the mission and failed to escape in time. She was seriously injured and no one from the two teams cared about her.
If they exchanged for food and Nie Yu survived, they would still have no means of survival, and Nie Yu would have to go back to being a blood sheep...
If she took this knife, she could go out hunting in the future.
But if she didn't exchange for food this time, Nie Yu would probably die directly.
Without Nie Yu, what's the point of her struggling alone in this world?
Lu Yao looked at the hesitation in Wei Xuan's eyes and whispered, "If you want this knife, I can give you a food blind box and a medicine. Sign a receipt, and come back when you have the crystal core."
Wei Xuan's eyes lit up and she immediately said, "I want this knife, thank you, owner."
The tables and chairs customized from Alexandria have been placed in the lobby of the blind box store. Jiang Han's team helped move the unconscious Nie Yu to the store to rest. Lu
Yao took a clean basin and towel, asked Wei Xuan to get hot water to clean her wound, and then went back to the nail salon to get medicine.
Nie Yu's condition is not only injured, but also long-term malnutrition and excessive blood loss. Without medicine, he may not wake up.
But the medicine cannot take effect too quickly, so Lu Yao diluted the medicine a hundred times, squeezed it into a capsule, and wrapped it with paper.
Jiang Han's team was very interested in the liquid crystal core knife, and also became interested in the crystal core blind box.
Unable to resist curiosity, each person drew a crystal core blind box and sat around the table to open the box.
Wei Xuan found Jiang Han and whispered, "My name is Wei Xuan, and I live in Tingcheng Base. What's your name, and which base do you live in? I will definitely pay you back the money from the blind box when I make money."
Jiang Han blinked and said directly, "My name is Jiang Han, and I live in Changming Base. You don't seem to be doing well in Tingcheng, do you want to come to Changming?"
Wei Xuan was stunned, "Why?"
Jiang Han stared at the liquid crystal core knife in her hand, "This knife is very interesting. We didn't draw it just now."
Wei Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, but she was thinking seriously in her heart.
Changming Base is not a big base, but the person in front of her is more reasonable than many people she met in Tingcheng. Doesn't it also mean that the living environment in Changming Base is better than Tingcheng?
She and Nie Yu are not going to be blood sheep anymore. It is indeed not good to continue staying in Tingcheng.
"I'll discuss it with my companion after she wakes up." Wei Xuan didn't make a decision right away.
Jiang Han nodded, and when he saw Lu Yao coming back, he immediately called out, "Shopkeeper, come quickly. We drew a crystal core blind box, but why are there so many things we haven't seen before?"
Lu Yao handed Wei Xuan a small medicine bag and a blind box of instant noodles, and explained how to take the medicine. Then he walked to sit opposite Jiang Han, "Let me see who is European and who is non-European."
Jiang Han's team originally consisted of four people, plus the new young man in a white coat, a total of five people.
The four members of the team opened their blind boxes, but the young man still had his in his hand.
There were four items in front of Lu Yao. He picked up the solid fuel block condensed from crystal core liquid, "Who drew this?"
Li Jing raised her hand, "I did. This thing comes in pieces, six pieces in a box, and they are very small. What's it used for?"
"Have you seen the design picture?" Lu Yao asked.
Li Jing nodded, "This looks like a solid fuel block."
Lu Yao: "Yes, this is a solid fuel solidified from high-purity crystal core liquid, and each piece is vacuum-packed. Because it will spontaneously combust when it comes into contact with air, one piece can continue to burn for twelve hours."
Li Jing: "!!! How can such a small piece burn for so long?"
They usually use crystal cores as fuel, and a red crystal core can only burn for two hours.
Lu Yao: "If you don't believe me, go home and try it."
Chen Feng immediately handed over his blind box, "Shopkeeper, what is this thing called a warm baby?"
Li Cheng also said, "Mine is also a warm baby."
Lu Yao: "This is a heating patch used to keep warm during cold waves. It is filled with crystal core energy and is attached to the back through underwear. One piece can generate heat continuously for 24 hours."
There are also warm babies in Lu Yao's world, and they are very cheap.
But the crystal core energy version is an enhanced version, a heating patch specially designed for cold waves, which can warm the whole body with one application.
In order to feel the intensity of minus thirty or fifty degrees, Lu Yao asked Harold to take her to fly around the glacier and test the effect of the heating patch.
Chen Feng & Li Cheng: "!!!"
How can such a thin piece generate heat? It is totally incomprehensible.
Again, if you don't believe me, take it home and try it. You can also tear it off on the spot to test the effect.
There are only two or three days left in the transition period, and a cold wave may come soon. Chen Feng and Li Cheng thought about it and didn't open it immediately.
There are only five stickers in a blind box. If it is really useful, one less sticker will be used, and it cannot be wasted.
Jiang Han quickly handed over his blind box, "Shopkeeper, this is a small flashlight. It's very bright when you turn it on. What does this have to do with crystal core energy?"
Lu Yao: "This battery is made of high-purity crystal core energy and has super long battery life. It is more efficient and brighter than using crystal core lighting directly. This one can also be recharged."
Jiang Han: "Recharge?"
Lu Yao pointed to the crystal core liquid charging station next to the water heater, "It's there. You can charge your small flashlight for 20 yuan. It can last for seven days after a full charge. By the way, liquid crystal core knives will become blunt after long use, and you can also recharge them there. It's a little more expensive, 100 yuan each time, but it can be used for a long time after a charge."
It turned out that this knife could also be used continuously, and Wei Xuan was delighted.
Jiang Han played with the small flashlight, feeling a little shocked. They had never thought that the crystal core could have so many convenient little uses.
Chen Feng spotted the blind box that Chi Jin had not opened yet, "Brother Chi, aren't you going to open it? How about I help you open it, maybe I can get the Crystal Core Liquid Knife?"
Chi Jin, who was sitting on Lu Yao's left, flexibly avoided Chen Feng's hand and pushed the blind box in front of Lu Yao, "I'm very excited. Can the owner help me open it?"
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, looked over, and the other party was wearing sunglasses, so he couldn't see his expression at all. He declined, "How about letting Jiang Han try? I'm usually very excited too."
"..."
Chi Jin pursed his lips and was silent for a while. He silently took back the blind box, opened the box casually, and pushed it in front of Lu Yao again, "Help me see."
Lu Yao couldn't refuse again, so he lowered his head to take a look and laughed, "What's so exciting about you? You got the hidden one."
