After running for several kilometers, Wang Lu and the others finally returned to their beloved territory.
After the fierce battle of the Blood Moon, this section of the mountain road has changed beyond recognition. It is dark and the original jungle has completely disappeared.
There were also holes and cracks on the mountain road due to falling rocks and fighting.
"This doesn't suit my temperament. Is there any way to repair this?"
Wang Lu looked at the mountain below and muttered dissatisfiedly. As an obsessive-compulsive disorder, he didn't like the place where he lived to look like a doghouse.
However, what he is more concerned about now is how much energy he earned last night.
Open the storage space. Since it has been upgraded to the third level, the storage principle of the storage space is very different from the previous kind of stacking.
The first floor is a general storage area for food and tools. Now it's mainly food, and then some wood.
The second floor is used to store zombie essences. As for the third floor, Wang Lu has not yet stored anything.
On the second floor, white and yellow zombie spirits filled the space, with a few orange ones mixed in.
There is also a red mid-level zombie spirit that should be exploded by a car-powered zombie.
"Get rich! Get rich!!"
"There are 1,730 white essences, 1,200 yellow essences, 7 orange essences, and 1 red essence. Not bad, it seems that you can already unlock the first-level defense turret."
Call up the Civilization Chronicle and open the content unlocked by the territory.
[Level 1 defense turret: The primary defense turret completes charging every 10 minutes. The bullets are solar energy, and the energy released is 30% of the absorbed solar energy. It has a certain ability to attack primary zombies. The exchange price is 1,000 zombie spirits and 10 special silver coins.]
"That's it, I finally have a decent defensive weapon, system, exchange it!"
Wang Lu did not hesitate too much.
Most of the redemption options provided by territory unlocking and special item trading are immovable products similar to this, and there are almost no redemption options such as weapons.
Weapons can only be made by collecting materials or completing special tasks.
[The exchange is successful and construction is starting. It is expected to take one day.]
Four rings with a diameter of more than 5 meters appeared on the four sides of the Wanglu territory on the edge of the mountain, and then some tiny rays of light began to construct the objects inside.
After exchanging the first-level defense turret, Wang Lu still had a lot of zombie essence left in his hand.
Now he has several options. One is to directly use it to strengthen the territory. In this case, it is estimated that it can be upgraded to another level.
The second is to exchange it for the arsenal he wanted before, so that he can start producing some basic NPC guards for defense.
The third is to upgrade some existing buildings, such as pastures, farms, warehouses, iron grids, etc.
"The time limit for the mission on the grassland is one month, and it is already a quarter of the way. According to the current situation, going to the grassland by yourself is no different from dying. At this stage, you may still need to increase your combat effectiveness. .”
Wang Lu calmly analyzed and weighed all the pros and cons.
Zombie essence cannot directly act on the human body to upgrade the character, but it can strengthen skills.
Wang Lu had been upgrading skills such as defense and health before. Now he wanted to use part of his soul to strengthen his combat capabilities.
There are some differences between the mechanism of physical skill points and others.
Zombie spirits can only strengthen some basic things. It is impossible to advance to the sky and escape by relying on skill points.
There are restrictions on the improvement of strength depending on the level.
After Wang Lu has been strengthened, the power of a single punch can reach nearly one ton. It can be said that without weapons, he can barely fight against car-powered zombies.
"There seems to be something about the sublimation of weapons, right?"
With a cyan light group floating in front of him, Wang Lu currently has two options for sublimation.
One is to directly use both on iron bows and arrows, which may directly improve the quality of the iron bow to cyan level.
The other is to use them on iron bows and stone axes respectively. In this way, the stone axes that are extremely close to damage may be restored to their original appearance and the quality can be improved.
After thinking about it carefully, Wang Lu finally decided to use the two sublimation opportunities on the iron bow because of his capitalist qualities. After all, his single combat power would make him feel more secure.
"System, weapon sublimation."
[Please select the sublimation weapon and sublimation direction. Please note that the sublimation direction currently provides: strengthening, enchanting and repairing.]
"Is there any direction?"
Wang Lu called up Civilization Zhi and learned about these three directions.
[Enhancement: One of the directions of weapon sublimation, you can enhance the attack power or defense power of the weapon by strengthening a single attribute of the weapon.]
[Enchanting: One of the directions of weapon sublimation. Enchanting a single weapon can provide a single additional attribute to the weapon. Common enchanting attributes are sharpness, speed, toughness, etc., and special enchantment attributes are elements, healing, dimension, etc.]
[Repair: One of the directions of weapon sublimation. Weapons can be repaired through weapon sublimation. After repair, the weapon can be restored to its previous best quality, and there is the possibility of accidentally awakening additional attributes.]
Wang Lu looked at the three sublimation directions that he could currently access.
"Strengthening it should be the direction I wanted in the early stage. There is no need to consider repairing it. The iron bow's durability is still above 90%, but this enchantment looks awesome. How about giving it a try?"
After some thought, Wang Lu finally chose the direction of enchantment.
[The command is confirmed, sublimation begins. The raw materials this time are two sublimation crystals, the quality is cyan level, and the sublimation direction is enchantment!]
Two cyan crystals exploded, spreading their light onto the iron longbow.
A green light surrounded the iron bow and arrow, and Wang Lu watched nervously, hoping to give him something better. After all, the opportunity to sublimate this weapon was hard-won.
The cyan light gradually turned into cyan-red during the sublimation process, and then slowly turned into a complete fiery red. After the fiery red, it turned into a strange blood-red.
The expression on Wang Lu's face also changed according to the color of sublimation. Since he himself didn't know what sublimation looked like, looking at the strange blood-red color in the sky, he always felt that something was wrong.
The rich blood-red light condensed into a ball, and then exploded.
Blood-red radiant fragments scattered in the air, making the blood-red bow and arrow inside even more strange and eerie.
"This... won't give me a bow and arrow that can suck human blood, right?"
The blood bow slowly fell from the sky, and finally stopped in Wang Lu's hand. The new colors and patterns on it released a unique brilliance under the sunlight.
[Sublimation is completed. This sublimation consumes two cyan-level sublimation crystals. The sublimation direction is enchantment.]
[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a special weapon, the Blood Flame Bow.]
The azure radiance of the Sage's Eye appeared again.
[Bow of Blood Flame: A high-end cyan quality weapon, the enchantment direction is elemental enchantment.]
[Legend has it that there once existed an ancient hunter in the wasteland. The hunter held a blood-red long bow and ruthlessly harvested the lives of zombies.]
[Ability: The fired arrows are equipped with fire attack capabilities, and can absorb the health of the target being shot. The absorption frequency is 1% per second. The duration is determined by the sublimation of the weapon quality. The initial period is 30 seconds.]
[The weapon adds 5 points of attack power and 10 points of agility to the character.]
Wang Lu stared blankly at the bloody bow and arrow in his hand for a long time.
"The bunker is ready, okay? This weapon is ready!"
I thought it would be good if it could be upgraded to cyan quality, even if it only added ordinary sharpness, but I didn't expect that a special enchantment would be revealed directly.
Moreover, the ability of this blood bow is not too strong. It is like a natural enemy to zombies with thick blood volume.
With the existence of the blood bow and the first-level defense turret, Wang Lu won't have to worry about any big problems when the next blood moon comes, and he can also be prepared to enter the grassland later.
Wang Lu, who was in a good mood, couldn't help but call the first and second children, and divided the last bit of beef reward at noon.
Of course, the durability of these beefs is almost gone.
"Lord, our water reserves are not enough. If this continues, we may really die from lack of water. Moreover, the growth of crops and the growth of those chickens require water."
Da Wa said to Wang Lu after the meal.
Wang Lu's face also darkened. The rewards obtained through missions included food. Even in the early days, it may be that the world was protecting novices, so the probability of food being released was not low.
However, the source of water has always been difficult to uncover.
At this stage, the entire wasteland is facing the problem of water shortage, and some places have no water source at all.
In fact, this problem has arisen before, but out of curiosity about the blood moon, people have not thought too much about it for the time being.
But after this blood moon ends, water shortage may become the most important problem.
A person may be able to survive for a week without food, but cannot survive for three days without water.
Unfortunately, the only place where humans can get water is in the grassland. How can humans currently have the ability to take risks in the grassland?
"Let's see if anyone in the current forum has already begun to analyze this problem."
Open communication on the World Channel.
Sure enough, the topic of water shortage has surpassed the blood moon, and the real-time online discussion has exceeded 800 million.
[Is there any kind person who can give me some water? I haven’t drank a drop of water for two days. What should I do if this continues?]
[This problem is faced all over the world, but I heard that the problem is not that serious in the southern wasteland area. It actually rained before the blood moon came.]
[Axi, if we continue to be short of water, we won’t be able to support the next blood moon. We won’t need zombies to kill us. We will fend for ourselves.]
[There has been no news about the legion that went out last time, but don’t worry, they will definitely bring the water source back, and everything will be fine by then.]
[What’s the use of bringing it back? There are so many of us, will you provide it for free? At that time, the most we can do is raise prices and let us exchange the materials we have earned through hard work.]
Wang Lu deeply agreed with what the last person said.
