Seeing that everyone was silent because of this, Hou Ying clapped her hands to encourage everyone: "Okay, it is completely meaningless for us to pursue this now. Anyway, if the people at the Yellow River base have prepared for it, it will be a good thing anyway. Maybe they Has there been research on the treatment of the zombie virus or the antibody to the zombie virus? It’s no better than suffering a disaster without knowing it. The most important thing for us right now is to improve our own strength and survive in the last days.”
"That's right, don't even think about it, let's get some crystal nuclei harvested today. Especially you monkey brother, come and try the energy of these semi-artificially cultivated crystal nuclei compared with normal crystal nuclei?"
Jiang Tao took advantage of the situation and changed the topic.
Su Fenghe, who is a person with superpowers, consciously got up and hugged the crystal nuclei that hadn't been sorted and stored after being carried up to the second floor of the heavy truck.
These days, the crystal nuclei they harvested are stored in the space on the second floor where they rest, and the amount is not small. The semi-artificially cultivated crystal nuclei are still the first batch, and they have been raised in the zombie's head for half a month. Several people gathered around the iron box. Although Qiao Daye was also very curious, he still dutifully jumped down to the second floor to defend outside, to prevent the energy of the crystal nucleus from seducing high-level zombies.
To be on the safe side, they stored the semi-artificially cultivated zombie crystal nuclei and the natural zombie crystal nuclei separately, and Gongsun Jing and Jiang Tao started to organize them, while the others stared at Hou Ying, who absorbed and cultivated the second-level transparent crystal.
After absorbing a second-level transparent crystal, Hou Yingcai said: "Maybe we harvested it too impatiently. Although the energy storage in this second-level crystal nucleus is the same as the natural zombie crystal nucleus, it doesn't feel so mellow. How should I say it?" Well... it just feels that the density is not so great, like the same bowl of porridge, one bowl is very thick and the other is very thin, can you understand what I mean?"
Although they don't fully understand Hou Ying's feelings, several people can hear that there is a certain gap between the semi-artificially cultivated secondary crystal nucleus and the natural crystal nucleus.
Hou Ying pulled Li Xuanyuan's hand, and the latter felt more clearly than Hou Ying after absorbing it, and said: "The energy of this secondary crystal nucleus is equivalent to one-third of a natural secondary energy." He said, and said to Hou Ying: "You try to absorb something else."
After absorbing ten second-level crystal nuclei in one breath, Hou Yingcai said: "Xuanyuan, I think I understand what you mean. You mean, there are different levels of zombies at the same level, right? The energy storage of these zombies is indeed hierarchical. Not all, actually, I had this feeling before. Now it seems that the ability of zombies can also be included in the low-level, middle-level, and high-level divisions we have divided, but we have too little contact with them before, and the levels are also low. Not high enough, so the distinction is not clearly felt in combat."
Li Xuanyuan nodded, agreeing with his statement.
Ji Yao said: "In this way, don't we want to raise these zombies for a longer time, so that they can take them after they have reached the full level?"
Hou Ying said: "You can also say that. But we don't have so much time now, so we can only accelerate the ripening, or in other words, nourish the essence instead of raising too much."
Everyone came to know one after another. Liu Zhandao: "That's right, if we raise ten second-level zombies, and then raise a second-level intermediate or high-level zombie through them, although the number of zombie crystal nuclei will decrease, the level of zombie crystal nuclei will be higher." It will definitely improve accordingly. Things in this world are expensive and not expensive, and I think this method is feasible."
Everyone discussed this, and after reaching an agreement, they made corresponding adjustments to the plan for the second zombie crystal nucleus test field.
After deciding, they realized that the time for dinner had passed. Hou Ying made dinner in a hurry. In order to hurry, she cooked instant noodles, and each of them shared a portion of it. Even Wang Hehe, who has always had a good appetite, ate it up. Contradictory to the food shortage in the last days, the physical exertion of the supernatural beings is too great, and the appetite has increased significantly. If it weren't for Hou Ying and the others who had accumulated a lot of supplies, they really couldn't afford it. consume.
After eating the noodles, they drank the soup comfortably while talking about Meng Hanghai's supernatural power.
Jiang Tao said: "Xiao Hai's ability appeared too early, he didn't even know what it was. We still look for opportunities to let him use his ability more, to see his strength, and also pay attention to whether there is any contact with him. Similar supernatural zombies."
Hou Ying nodded and said: "I have tested all the types of supernatural energy we have, and he can't absorb them. This child seems to be an extremely rare special supernatural power like Xiao He, without the supplement of crystal nucleus. If not, we can only let him improve his ability through actual combat."
For this, they all have an idea.
After dinner, Jiang Tao was left alone for the rest of the night. They packed up and went to the second floor to rest.
Li Xuanyuan was bored on top of the heavy truck again. The place was re-isolated with special materials from armored vehicles. Li Xuanyuan moved his precious computer here, and he had to work until late at night before going to rest, so he was excluded from the night duty personnel these days.
I don't know if it was because of Meng Hanghai's past, Hou Ying couldn't sleep, she heard the tinkling sound coming from the front of the car, and waited until everyone else in the room was almost asleep, then went down to the second floor and climbed up again Isolate the room on the roof.
"Still busy, I see you messing around all day long, and you don't say anything when I ask you what you do."
Hou Ying came over curiously to see what Li Xuanyuan assembled. Li Xuanyuan raised his arms, knowing that the other party had ulterior motives, he blocked Hou Ying who was too close, so that the other party would not make an inch, and said: "I told you that you don't understand, what are you talking about?"
Hou Ying curled her lips, "What are the finished products you made used for? I can't understand it, right? I know you're too lazy to explain to me."
Li Xuanyuan handed over a "you know it" look, and under Hou Ying's increasingly sad expression, he pursed his lips and smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a self-made satellite signal receiving transmitter, try to see if there is a way to get it from outside." connect."
Hou Ying said in surprise: "This is difficult, you can even do this, you are so awesome!"
"I won't be moved if you praise me." Li Xuanyuan snorted, seeing his flattery expression that was pretending to be unexpected, and narrowed his eyes.
Hou Ying touched her nose, she didn't feel embarrassed to be seen through, she stepped aside a little disappointed, and sighed: "I know you are an expert in this field. Xuanyuan, I often wonder what you can do No, ahem, it’s convenient to ask, how old are you this year, and how long have you been studying this?”
"27." Li Xuanyuan didn't think it was a matter of privacy, and seeing that Hou Ying was really curious, he told him casually: "I have been learning these things from my seniors since I joined the army at the age of fifteen, and it has been more than ten years now."
It's twenty-seven, Hou Ying read it silently, and muttered: "So it's only two years older than me..."
"Know that I'm older than you, so show some respect in the future, and don't try to make trouble with me all day long." At this point, Li Xuanyuan simply put down the parts he was assembling, turned to Hou Ying and said seriously: "Hou Ying, I I solemnly tell you that I am not gay. Although I don’t hate you, I am very disgusted that your sexuality has anything to do with me. We are teammates and companions, and this is the only relationship. Do you understand what I mean?”
Hou Ying's expression changed. What I wanted to say that I also have the right to pursue will not cause you real trouble, but under Li Xuanyuan's sincere gaze, I couldn't say it anymore. He smiled wryly: "They said that you were... harassed before, and that's why you..."
"It has nothing to do with this."
Li Xuanyuan didn't say much, but his attitude of resistance was already very obvious.
Hou Ying lowered her eyes, and raised her eyes after a while and said, "It seems that I really have no chance at all?"
Li Xuanyuan saw that he was forced to smile as if he was under a great blow, turned his face away and said: "You just think that I look to your liking, as long as your mentality is reversed, we can also do the same as you and Ji Yao. Friends, be brothers."
"How come you and Ji Yao are the same..." Hou Ying stopped talking after saying something, and then said to Li Xuanyuan: "Well, I admit that I liked your face more than your person before, this kind of good impression It's still very superficial. Don't worry, give me some time and I will adjust myself."
After a moment of silence, he apologized to Li Xuanyuan: "Xuanyuan, I'm sorry for causing you trouble before."
Li Xuanyuan was made a little uncomfortable by his seriousness, waved his hands and said: "It's okay, just don't do this in the future."
Seeing his relieved look, Hou Ying twitched the corners of his mouth, pretending to be natural and patted him on the shoulder to let him work hard, then went back to sleep by herself, and went to the second experimental field to feed the zombies tomorrow.
When he returned to the lounge and lay down on the bed, the smile on his face came down. Sighing lightly, without waiting for Hou Ying to adjust her mood, she heard the little nephew on the right lean over and asked in a low voice, "Old uncle, what's the matter, are you in a bad mood?"
Hou Ying was startled, then turned to look at him: "Why don't you sleep, I woke you up?"
"No, I wasn't asleep."
Seeing his confused look, Hou Ying laughed softly and said, "Could it be that I still want to hear my uncle tell you a bedtime story to coax you?"
Wang Hehe glared at him, and snorted, "I just think Xiao Hai is too pitiful, and I feel a little uncomfortable."
Hou Ying patted his head and comforted him: "Everything will be fine. Do you still remember that when your sister and brother-in-law just passed away, you cried for a long time. At that time, I was thinking, what should I do? What should I do if I'm sad? But haven't you grown up well now? Xiao Hai is much stronger than you and me at that time, he just needs a little time to adapt, and he will get better soon."
Wang Hehe nodded, and raised his hand clumsily to imitate him and patted his head: "Then don't be sad, old uncle, go to sleep. Everything will be fine."
Hou Ying was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly.
Yes, the relationship between him and Li Xuanyuan is much lighter than the relationship with Ji Yao back then. They have no confession, no relationship, and no intimacy. Wouldn't it be easier to let go
But why, did he feel so reluctant
