Chapter 7 7. Back Road
The blood on Xu Zhi's body was already coagulating at this moment, especially the blood that splashed on her face and hair when she cut the girl's neck made her feel a little uncomfortable, but the side effects of bloodthirstiness had already set in. At this moment, she could only sit paralyzed in the wheelchair and couldn't even lift a finger.
Xu Zhi stared at the clock and calculated the time. Just after ten minutes, her health had obviously improved a lot.
"It looks like the side effects will last for ten minutes."
Ten minutes is not a short time. If she were in a dangerous environment, these ten minutes would be enough for her to die several times.
"I can only see if improving my physical fitness and upgrading my bloodlust can reduce the impact of the side effects."
The most important thing now is that she has to think about her future plans.
The most troublesome thing at this time is that the outside world is shrouded in black fog. As long as you walk out of the room, it is almost equivalent to walking into the black fog. Although the room is not airtight, the fog in the room is indeed much less than that outside.
After killing the girl, Xu Zhi had a doubt in his mind.
After the city was closed, she actually hadn't seen any human beings again, so she didn't really know how fast the black fog eroded people's nerves. But judging by the boy yesterday and the girl today, maybe ordinary people should be experiencing the same situation as them when staying in this city?
But Xu Zhi couldn't believe how badly he had been corrupted.
She didn't even feel anything was wrong with her eyes when she washed and looked in the mirror every day.
Xu Zhi felt that she might have a certain resistance to the black fog, and judging by her miserable physical condition, this resistance must have existed before she got the game console.
Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have lived to see the day when game consoles appeared.
Before, because there was no reference and comparison, Xu Zhi did not realize this, but now she suddenly discovered that maybe she also had some kind of talent.
The sudden appearance of the gaming opportunity beside her might not be a coincidence. At least, she must have some qualities that attracted it.
With this idea in mind, Xu Zhi planned to do something very bold.
But before that, she picked up the game console, and the screen showed the interface after the snake was upgraded.
[Family: Snake Lv11
Spirit: 140
Flesh: 560
Attribute: Blade
Traits: Toxin Lv5, Sharpness Lv3, Bloodthirst Lv4, Cunning Lv2]
[Evolution Points: 700/1500]
The mental and physical stats have increased, and it can be seen that after reaching level 10, the improvement per level is much greater than before, but there are no other changes for the time being.
Xu Zhi was not disappointed. After she clicked confirm, a line of words appeared in the center of the screen.
[Things are unpredictable, and you realize that if you want to survive, you have to make some changes]
[Now that you know exactly what to do, you no longer need additional guidance. From now on, you will arrange the orders issued to your clan.]
[Please note: The intelligence of your clan will continue to increase as their level increases. Most of the time, your orders do not need to be too detailed. The clan will complete your orders based on their own circumstances, unless you have something that must be completed by the clan.]
The subtitles faded, and a virtual keyboard appeared in the center of the screen. Xu Zhi had rarely used a computer, so he could only slowly control the game console buttons and type the next line of commands one letter at a time.
[Go to the old residential building behind the Bell and Drum Tower to hunt and collect information.]
After clicking confirm, the little snake set off.
The progress bar is still 7 hours, it seems that the first level upgrade has not changed the idle time.
Afterwards, Xu Zhi controlled the wheelchair to move towards the window. Because too much fog had accumulated in the city, it was difficult for her to see what the weather was like today. No matter whether the sun was shining brightly or the sky was clear, it would always be gloomy under the cover of black fog. She could see the black fog constantly surging in the air through the window.
At this moment, Xu Zhi also made a bold move. She reached out and slowly pushed open the glass window.
Then, the black mist entered the room through the gap. Xu Zhi did not dodge or evade, allowing it to hit his face and then be inhaled into his body.
This action was really too bold, but Xu Zhi thought it was necessary. No matter what, a group of abnormal people were targeting her, and she was temporarily unable to confront them head-on, so she had to leave here.
To leave here, one must come into contact with the black fog.
Now that she has taken the initiative to test, if there is something wrong it can still be salvaged.
The girl sat in front of the window for a long time, inhaling the highly concentrated mist, but she didn't feel any changes in herself. She went back to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, and there was no black in her eyes.
"really."
She did have a certain resistance to the "mental pollution" in the black fog, otherwise her mind would not have started to have problems until everyone else went completely crazy.
"Very good."
This way, she could leave home and implement her plan.
Xu Zhi first washed himself and changed into clean clothes, then began to pack his luggage and decide what to take with him.
Her home is not far from the old residential area behind the Bell and Drum Tower. Xu Zhi plans to get up at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning and leave home for the old residential area.
One reason is that one of her followers is over there, and the other is that according to the narration in the previous game, after midnight, the monsters in the outside world will fall into a deep sleep out of fear, and most of them have not woken up from their sleep at 5 am, which is a relatively safe time period.
Furthermore, she had asked the little snake to investigate the situation in the old residential area. If nothing unexpected happened, she would let the little snake come here as a guard and set off with her tomorrow morning. By then, both of her clansmen would be by her side, and her situation would be much safer.
Just after killing the man, Xu Zhi had already made clear arrangements for his escape.
After drying his hair, Xu Zhi ignored the body lying at the door, but picked up the game console and started upgrading the second clan member.
Her time is very precious now.
Around 10:30 in the evening, Xu Zhi had just upgraded the puppy to level 7.
[Family: Dog Lv7
Spirit: 20
Flesh: 360
Attributes: None
Traits: Strength Lv4, Smell Lv3, Vigilance Lv1]
She looked at the evolution points from level 7 to 8 and felt a little worried. If this continued, it would take at least three or four days for the puppy to reach level ten. It was too slow.
Moreover, she needed Xiaoyi as her guard to protect her as she went to the old residential area tomorrow morning. Letting the puppy go alone to look for black fruits would rely too much on luck. If she was unlucky, she might not get anything in the whole morning, which would be a waste of time.
Now that she urgently needs to increase her strength, gambling on luck is not a wise choice.
Xu Zhi decided to let the dog hunt those slightly stronger prey that were still sleeping tomorrow morning to accumulate evolution points.
Since the dog's physical and strength have evolved significantly, there may be unexpected gains in the case of a sneak attack.
As for the black fruit, she will look for it after she finds a new place to live and settles down.
Not long after making the decision, Xiaoyi's 7-hour progress bar was filled up again. Xu Zhi lay on it and clicked on Xiaoyi's avatar to prepare to inspect the results of this idle time.
