Chapter 48 Surrounded by Red-Eyed Rats
The energy purity of this crystal core is not very high.
That is, the density is too low.
In his previous life, Qiao Lan had the good fortune to come into contact with a very high-quality crystal core. The density was very high, just like a diamond. The entire crystal core was full of effective energy, and the impurities were almost negligible.
It was left to her by a powerful human.
Yes, humans will also form crystal nuclei in their bodies after evolution, so in the end times, the hunting between evolvers will also be very cruel and bloody. After all, it is much easier to absorb crystal nuclei of the same kind than those of mutant beasts, and the affinity is high.
After the strong man died, Qiao Lan absorbed the crystal core.
At that time, I was promoted directly from level 2 to level 4.
It was thanks to that level jump that her strength increased significantly, allowing her to survive several subsequent difficult battles.
It can be said that the crystal core saved her life and allowed her to survive the apocalypse for a while longer.
But the quality of the mutant rat crystal core obtained now is much worse.
Qiao Lan held a small gray stone with a diameter of about two centimeters in the palm of his hand and felt it. The effective energy inside was only about the size of a soybean, and the remaining eighty to ninety percent of the volume was impurities.
That's strange.
Such complex crystal cores are usually found only in humans or animals that have just mutated.
For newly mutated organisms, the crystal nucleus is basically the size of a grain of rice, far from a diameter of two centimeters.
Moreover, if the purity of the crystal core is low, it means that the mutation qualifications are poor and the potential for subsequent upgrades is small.
In a situation like this where eighty to ninety percent of the crystal core is impurities, it would be difficult for this creature to even cross the first level threshold, and the hope of reaching the second level is extremely slim. However, the mutant rat that was killed by the old chef had even its eyes, beard, and tail turned golden, almost reaching the maximum level of the second level, close to the third level.
How is that possible?
The qualifications are extremely poor, but he was upgraded very early and quickly?
It’s so unreasonable!
However, no matter whether it was reasonable or not, since he had the crystal core, Qiao Lan still absorbed it first as a sign of respect.
One minute.
Five minutes.
Half an hour passed.
Qiao Lan absorbed nearly half of the soybean-sized energy core.
"Don't be greedy."
She stopped absorbing.
An ordinary person's body cannot withstand too much energy impact, even if she has a lot of experience in absorbing energy in her previous life.
The feeling of her blood swelling made her stop in time.
Stand up and stretch your muscles a little in the dark.
Click, click!
There was a crackling sound of bones.
She felt full of strength.
"Huh? You haven't even reached level one yet?"
She wondered.
Even a Level 2 core, no matter how complex, is still a Level 2 core. Even if it can't send someone straight to Level 2, it should be close to the maximum Level 1, right? She absorbed half of it, so it should at least reach Level 1.
But why did she feel that her current physical condition hadn't even reached the first level, and was only at the level of a beginner evolver?
eccentric!
The crystal core is weird, and her level is weird too!
Moreover, her body at this moment has been stimulated by the crystal core, equivalent to that of an early-stage evolver.
However, she had not yet sensed any signs of superpowers.
In theory, if ordinary people use crystal cores to forcibly stimulate their bodies, causing their bodies to evolve, their physical condition and superpowers will awaken simultaneously.
But now only her physical condition has improved, and she has not awakened any new superpowers!
"Could it be that... because I inherited the dimension of my previous life, no new superpowers will appear in this life?"
Qiao Lan muttered to herself, feeling a little disappointed.
She even thought she could cheat and develop a new superpower with the superpowers from her previous life.
"Meow……"
The white cat walked silently from the corner of the wall, rubbed against Qiao Lan's trouser legs twice.
This cat is no smaller than that one and rarely acts like a spoiled child.
But this time, the calls were very, very soft, and the rubbing movements were also very gentle.
"Are you comforting me?"
Qiao Lan bent down, picked it up and held it.
The white cat moved twice, adjusted itself to a comfortable position, and lay safely in Qiao Lan's arms.
Qiao Lan carried it to the door, trying to walk lightly so as not to wake up everyone who was sleeping.
Old Song was the first to wake up.
“Wuwuwu…”
His mouth was taped shut, and he tried to ask where he was going, but all he could come out was a series of whimpers.
This woke up everyone else, except the old chef.
"It's okay, I'll take the cat out to catch mice."
Qiao Lan asked everyone to continue sleeping. She held the cat, opened the door and walked out.
Close the door tightly to avoid a fight later and prevent any mice that have escaped from the net from running into the house and causing trouble.
Drill out the tunnel.
The night sky is dotted with stars.
The entire city no longer has the neon lights of the past, and it is pitch black everywhere.
The starry sky, which was previously unclear due to light pollution, now appears above our heads after a long absence.
The sky is filled with silver nails, sparkling and beautiful.
The ruins of the city are like rugged and hideous black shadows under the starry sky, eerie and desolate.
"Meow!"
The white cat suddenly straightened its neck and looked sternly toward the right front.
"You noticed it too?"
Qiao Lan stroked the cat's soft fur and walked towards that direction in the night.
Although she didn't upgrade, her already sharp senses were further enhanced after absorbing the crystal core.
I was in the house just now when I noticed the unusual movement outside, so I went out.
Squeak, squeak, squeak!
After crossing the messy streets and jumping over a broken wall, Qiao Lan stopped at a ruin more than 200 meters away from the safe house.
In the darkness, small red dots light up.
The sharp squeals of rats rose and fell as she approached.
The rustling sound approached rapidly, coming from the front, back, left and right.
Qiao Lan snapped on the flashlight.
In the dim light, she saw that she was surrounded.
Those little red dots are the eyes of mice.
More than ten black rats as big as cats surrounded her.
In the gaps of the ruins, more dark shadows were running around, approaching her.
