Chapter 110: End of the Beast Tide + Extreme Cold
"ah!"
People hiding in the protective shield were still afraid and retreated one after another.
The mutant animals ignored the crowd and rushed directly towards the mutant animals outside to fight with them.
They held back the last mutant black bear, and although they couldn't defeat it, they bought time for Yueying's cooling period to end.
The inky black shadow appeared again, avoiding the mutant animals that emerged from the city, and swallowed up the mutant black bear and the remaining mutant animals amid the screams of the crowd.
Then he disappeared swayingly, and Yueying beside Qiao Qiao also exhausted her energy and returned to her shadow to recuperate.
On the other side, others also dealt with their enemies.
The beast tide war that lasted for a week finally ended. Although there were heavy casualties, considerable rewards were also obtained.
【World Channel: 1.6 billion-1.3 billion】
【National Channel: 420 million - 340 million】
The system page appeared in front of Qiao Qiao.
[Congratulations on completing the S-level mission: Resist the beast tide and guard the northwest area]
[Task Rating: Excellent]
[Rewards: 1 SSR-level card pool draw ticket, 1 SR-level card pool draw ticket, 5 N-level card draw tickets (distributed according to contribution)]
Qiao Qiao was overjoyed as she finally got another SSR-level card. Unfortunately, the card upgrade card was taken away by someone, otherwise she would still be very curious whether the SSR-level card could continue to be upgraded.
The current time and place were not suitable, so Qiao Qiao did not draw the card immediately.
After the enemy disappeared, the mutant animals stood there as if dumbfounded, and only moved when they heard the whistle again.
Qiao Qiao watched them run back to the city, and turned back to tell Xiao Qiao and Qiao Man: "You stay here to protect my parents, and help clean up the mess."
Xiao Qiao glanced to show that he understood, and Qiao Man wagged his tail.
Qiao Qiao took out the invisibility cloak and put it on and followed. Her elven blood gave her excellent eyesight, allowing her to see the environment clearly even at night. Just now, she clearly saw that every mutant animal had a collar around its neck.
These mutant animals are being raised by someone. Who on earth has the ability to breed hundreds of mutant animals in the growth and maturity stages...
"ah!"
"Run! Mutated animals are coming!"
"Has the outer city been breached?"
Along the way, people who had not yet returned home and were wandering the streets screamed and fled when they saw groups of mutant animals.
Under normal circumstances, screams and human breath would stimulate the mutant animals and make them lose control, but these ones had no reaction and could only run.
The more I look at it, the weirder it gets.
Qiao Qiao followed all the way to the inner city area and saw the mutant animals enter the triangular building.
"It's actually here?!"
Research Institute No. 1, which is officially affiliated, is theoretically specialized in studying the existence of cards, but it also conducts animal experiments in private. This is normal, as every research institute is curious about mutant creatures, but most of them have no results. Only this time, Research Institute No. 1 caught everyone by surprise.
There are hundreds of mutant animals, more than ten mature ones, more than thirty growing ones, and more than forty young ones. This is equivalent to dozens of additional high-level card drawers, which directly broke the balance of forces among the various parties in the Northwest region.
Although Institute No. 1 and Institute No. 2 are official on the surface, there are forces with different leanings behind them. Just like Institute No. 2 headed by the Qiao family has already leaned towards the Northeast Region, then what about Institute No. 1?
It's the Capital Region!
Qiao Qiao thought of Li Danchen, the chief researcher. As the only son of the marshal, he had a different status since childhood. Except for a few years studying abroad, all his life was spent in the capital area.
Just like Qiao Qiao's behavior tends to be biased towards the Northeast region officials because his hometown is the Northeast region, Li Danchen may be the same.
But the government did not prohibit the research of mutant creatures, but she had never heard of any progress made by the No. 1 Research Institute. Why was it hidden? Could there be any problems? After thinking for a long time, she had no answer.
Then Qiao Qiao saw many people rushing towards the research institute, presumably because of the mutant animals. Among them was Tang Mingli.
Just as the half-hour usage time of the invisibility cloak was over, Jojo turned around and left to go home.
The beast tide ended and the crisis came to an end. Qiao Qiao had a simple midnight snack and then took a shower and went to bed. After being busy for a whole day and night, she really couldn't hold on any longer. She had to sleep first, even if the sky fell.
The 524th day of the end of the world, December 8th.
Qiao Qiao was awakened by hunger. He turned his head to look at the clock on the wall and immediately sat up.
"It's already two o'clock!" She didn't expect that she would sleep until the afternoon.
Qiao Huizhou was replying to messages through the system in the living room. When he saw her coming downstairs, he smiled and said, "Get up. There's porridge in the pot. Drink some to warm your stomach before eating."
Qiao Qiao nodded.
In the evening, the family of three sat on the sofa to review the game.
Qiao Qiao was the first to speak: "Dad, Mom, what is your mission reward?"
Qiao Huizhou: "I was the one who dealt the last blow to the fully-mutated black bear, so I got an SR-level card pool draw ticket and five N-level card draw tickets."
Qiao Xinghe said: "I have an R-level card draw ticket and five N-level card draw tickets."
Qiao Qiao nodded, "I should be the person who completed the Beast Tide mission the most this time. I got an SSR-level card pool draw ticket and an SR-level card pool draw ticket."
In order to get a more suitable card, Qiao Qiao made a wish to Xiao Qiao again.
“My parents and I wanted to get the right cards.”
[Nine-tailed Cat Skill: Nine-tailed Prayer
Each tail condenses a large amount of energy, which can be consumed to realize wishes. It can be adjusted according to the difficulty of the wish.
"Meow!"
Xiao Qiao cried out in pain, and then the eight tails disappeared in the air, leaving only one tail hanging down alone, and the whole cat fell to the ground exhausted.
"Xiao Qiao!" Qiao Qiao hugged the cat with heartache. Before, she only consumed one tail when she drew dozens of R-level cards, but this time all eight were gone. It would take at least four months to recover. SSR-level cards were really terrifying.
[Obtain SR-level card medium protective shield*1]
[SR-level card medium protective shield: After use, it can protect an area of 100 square kilometers, is not disturbed by mutant creatures, and is rarely affected by extreme weather (-40℃ to 40℃). It cannot be moved after use. It has a limited period of 1000 days, 1/1]
[Get R-level card primary treatment cabin*1]
[Obtain SR-level card intermediate treatment cabin*1]
[Intermediate Treatment Cabin: can quickly treat all non-terminal diseases and level 2 severe injuries, limited to 10 times per day]
[Obtain SSR-level card elemental perception*1]
[Elemental Perception: An exclusive skill of the elves after their second awakening. Elves are the darlings of nature, and can communicate with animals, plants, elements (such as wind, water, and earth), and natural spirits. They can even control the power of elements and call on creatures for assistance.]
Qiao Huizhou took the card of the medium protective shield and said, "You guessed exactly what I was thinking. I originally thought that the small protective shield had a small range and could only protect a limited number of people. Now with this card, the range is comparable to a small city. With just one card, the inner city and the midtown area can be included in it."
Qiao Xinghe: "Don't be too happy yet. Such a good card federation must be used to get the most out of it. The current small protective shield has only been used for less than a hundred days, so it can't be used for the time being."
Qiao Huizhou nodded, "You are right." Seeing the card he drew, he said, "The primary treatment cabin, it came just in time, because many people in the beast tide were injured, and now they are in need of medical equipment."
Qiao Qiao held the card of the intermediate treatment cabin between her fingers and blinked: "I have one here too."
Qiao Huizhou was surprised: "The intermediate treatment cabin can treat level 2 severe injuries, what about the advanced one? Can it be like treating the dead with bones?"
Qiao Qiao shrugged: "Even so, it's hard to get. The advanced treatment cabin can probably only be obtained in the SSR level card pool."
Qiao Xinghe urged his daughter, "Don't think so much in advance in the future, use this SSR card quickly."
Qiao Qiao looked at the golden cards, elemental perception cards, and elf-exclusive skills in her hand. She was very curious about what the elf bloodline would look like after the second awakening.
With a gentle pinch, the card dissipated into the air.
rustle.
A gentle breeze blew, and the melodious sound of birds chirped in her ears. Qiao Qiao opened her eyes and saw a huge primeval forest in front of her, the place she had been to when she awakened her elven bloodline last time.
A breeze was blowing, and unlike last time when she could only let it drift randomly, Qiao Qiao tried to use her wind-related abilities to control it. Unexpectedly, she succeeded at the first try. She felt that her control over the wind could be improved.
Jojo could fly freely in the air without wings and shuttle freely through the dense forest. It was at this time that she discovered the breathing of the trees and the chirping sounds of talking.
"It's the elf that came last time."
“I don’t know when she’ll be able to talk to us.”
"Huh? Did she look over here?"
"No way, she's still young, she probably can't hear us."
Jojo carefully placed his hand on a nearby tree, "Hello."
The voice of the trees rang directly in my mind, "Wow, it's actually true. This elf is so talented."
"Little elf, look at me, I want to be touched too."
"And me. And me."
Before Qiao Qiao could react, he left the place in a flash.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw the familiar environment of home.
"What's going on?" Qiao Huizhou was a little worried about his daughter. They didn't know what the problem was with the SSR-level card, so it was always better to be cautious.
"Everything is going well." Qiao Qiao stretched out her hand, and a small whirlwind appeared at her fingertips. With a flick of her finger, it turned into a ball of water. With another flick of her fingertips, a green branch, sparks, and lightning appeared. With a flip of her palm, the soil outside the window rose up...
This is elemental perception!
Qiao Qiao's eyes lit up. It was indeed an SSR-level card. One card was stronger than six cards. It was equivalent to her possessing the ability cards of water element, earth element, wind element, water element, fire element, and thunder element at the same time.
Before going to bed, Qiao Qiao lay on the bed and opened the system chat channel, which was very lively.
"The beast tide has finally passed. I actually survived. It's incredible."
"As expected, a bicycle turns into a motorcycle. I used all my family's wealth to buy a musket and have been hunting mutant animals in the outer city. Today, the system said that my mission rating is good. I got an R-level card pool draw ticket and an R-level card upgrade card. After using them, I directly have an SR-level card and move into the inner city. It's not an exaggeration to say that I have reached heaven in one step."
"Ah! I'm so envious. What kind of luck do you have?"
"Shit luck? Haha, I almost died in the mouths of mutant animals several times within a week. It's more of hard work than luck."
"Hey, did you know? Those mutant animals that suddenly appeared at the end were the test subjects of the No. 1 Research Institute."
"Ah? Aren't mutant animals all mindless beasts? How can we study them?"
"Why not? Xia Momo has raised several of them."
…
With their reminder, Qiao Qiao thought of the mutant animals in Institute No. 1 and maybe she could go there again tomorrow.
