In the blink of an eye, it has been more than three months since the outbreak of the apocalypse. The food crisis in the southern base has finally passed safely. The experiment of soilless cultivation has also been very successful. Green vegetables and grains have grown in several greenhouses built in the base. crop.
As time passed day by day, the number of people with supernatural abilities began to increase gradually, but what troubled people with supernatural abilities was that they couldn't find a way to upgrade their abilities. Seeing that the number of evolving zombies outside is increasing, but the evolution of human supernatural beings cannot keep up, which is extremely detrimental to human beings!
Although some people have found that the frequent use of abilities seems to feel that the reserves of abilities seem to increase, but there is no sign of any ability upgrades. People who have read doomsday novels think that the power upgrade should be related to the zombie crystal core. They collected a bunch of crystal cores, but they couldn't find a way to use them, scratching their heads anxiously.
In the end, the Southern Base discussed with Zhan Yun and Su Ruizhe, and announced the method of using the crystal nucleus. The transparent primary crystal nucleus can supplement the ability, but it cannot upgrade the ability. If you eat too much, it may lead to the backlash of the zombie virus. The secondary crystal nucleus can help the superhuman to upgrade, but there is a certain risk. After all, the secondary crystal nucleus not only contains the energy needed for the supernatural person to upgrade, but also contains the re-evolving zombie virus. Once the supernatural person fails to upgrade, will turn into zombies.
The southern base has been conducting in-depth research on the principle that vegetables and fruits can restrain the zombie virus, and finally discovered that the chlorophyll, folic acid, vitamin B12 and other elements contained in plants can damage the virus structure of the zombie virus and transform it into A mysterious substance beneficial to the human body. After two and a half months of research and experiments, the research center finally used these elements to successfully prepare a medicine. This medicine is diluted with high-concentration plant elements and has a strong destructive effect on zombie viruses. .
This potion is named antidote, as long as people who are scratched by ordinary zombies take this potion within three hours, they can kill the zombie virus in the body, although they may not become supernatural beings, but the physical fitness can be greatly improved.
Just to extract a high-concentration medicine, it takes about a hundred catties of vegetables and fruits to dilute it and make it into an antidote, and only twenty sticks can be made, so the exchange price is very high. Work points can be exchanged for an antidote.
However, even so, after the antidote came out, it was still very popular among the survivors, especially other bases, who also sent people to purchase it, and some wanted to purchase antidote research and development technology. But Jiang Xuzhou is very in control, no matter how eloquent the leaders of those bases are, they only agree to sell some to them, but they will never agree to other demands.
When people with abilities upgrade, they will also take this antidote. Although the virus contained in the evolved zombie crystal nucleus is stronger, the detoxification effect is somewhat discounted, but the success rate has indeed been significantly improved.
While developing the antidote, the base is also conducting research on the crystal nucleus. The success of the antidote has also promoted the birth of another new drug.
Not long after, the base successfully developed a supernatural medicine, which was obtained by dissolving the crystal nucleus with concentrated medicine. Taking this supernatural potion, although it can't help upgrade, it has the effect of enhancing the supernatural effect.
For example, an ability user who could only send out a few small fireballs the size of a ping pong ball can release a string of basketball-sized fireballs at once after taking the ability potion. The boosting effect can last for half an hour. After half an hour, the supernatural being will experience supernatural power overdraw and a little collapse. It will be fine to take a short rest. Ability growth requires continuous use to increase the ability reserve and practice makes perfect. Now taking such an ability potion, the effect is better than fighting zombies five or six times.
It is conceivable that after this supernatural potion was launched, it was immediately sought after by the major bases, and more and more teams came to the southern base to purchase antidotes and supernatural potions, which drove the trade between the various bases. , and the value of the crystal nucleus also began to rise accordingly.
The two major medicines unique to the southern base, and better living conditions than other bases, gradually attracted more survivors to join, and the base that had been built for a while began to be insufficient. The base then called on the survivors to start building new walls around the base, slowly developing an outer city.
Although the base is divided into inner and outer cities, the treatment for everyone is still the same, the benefits that should be given will not be less, and the rules that should be given are also the same, but the location in the inner city is better, and the rental cost of the house It's just more expensive. Just like the city center and the suburbs before the end of the world, where you live is the same, it just depends on whether you are willing to spend the money to live better. People who were unwilling to work and earn work points were all eliminated to the outer city, and those who could only live in tents were also slowly moved out.
All the new survivors who came to the base still have the right to free board and lodging for three days, but they all live in the outer city. Those who can stay in the inner city, except for the soldiers, are basically hardworking people who have stayed in the southern base for a long time, as well as the city guards, as well as some powerful people and teams.
When the rat infestation happened before, some of those who left wanted to return to the base, but their identity information had already been registered in the system, and the three days of free board and lodging they had enjoyed would be You can't enjoy it again, and you can't get the base identity card anymore. You can only get the temporary residence qualification according to the treatment of other base visitors.
Now, those people are so regretful that their intestines are turning green.
As for Zhan Yun and Su Ruizhe, the base will always give them the best treatment. They will be the first to pick out any good things, and they will meet their needs as soon as possible. Zhan Yun and the others also reciprocated. Whenever the base had any difficulties, they would help them without saying a word, so the soldiers on and off the base respected them very much.
Zhan Yun, Su Ruizhe and the others went to the free trade market in the inner city again this day. The place where there were street stalls was turned into a commercial street. Because of the weather, everyone's living habits have now turned upside down day and night. When you arrive at this commercial street at night, there are bright lights everywhere, and it feels like visiting a night market before the end of the world.
And that business-minded Qian Fugui now owns two stores on this commercial street. His store basically sells everything, just like a small department store. At the beginning, he took risks and stocked up. The behavior of the crystal nucleus has now made him a lot of money, and his whole body is completely different from before. His already chubby body has become more rounded.
"Old Qian, do you have any good things recently?" Cheng Jiao and Wu Jing walked into Qian Fugui's shop familiarly, and looked around. The air conditioner was turned on in the shop, and the temperature was very comfortable, and all the items were placed on the shelves. , looks dazzling.
Hearing the familiar voice, Qian Fugui immediately walked out with a smile on his face, "Oh, what wind brought these distinguished guests here? Hurry up, please, please!"
"You guys go in, Xiao Jing and I can just take a look outside." Cheng Jiao and Wu Jing's eyes were already attracted by the exquisite jewelry and cosmetics on the shelf beside them, and they waved their hands towards Qian Fugui.
Women are born to love beauty. Now that the problem of food and clothing has been solved, there will be some spiritual pursuits. Now the weather is so dry, if you don’t take good care of your skin, you will become an old dish. Money and wealth shops are the most popular Base female superhumans are welcome.
"Okay! Xiao Wang, greet your customers." Qian Fugui has now recruited two young shop assistants in the store. They are not very old, but they are smart and sensible, and he is quite satisfied with them.
"Okay, boss." Xiao Wang is a lively and lovely girl, and she is also a little familiar with Cheng Jiao and Wu Jing who often come to the store. Knowing their general preferences, she went over to chat with them.
Qian Fugui himself led Zhan Yun and Su Ruizhe into a small office specially separated by him at the back, and called another clerk, Xiao Zhang, to bring them a plate of sliced iced watermelon. After Xiao Zhang put down the watermelon, he walked out and closed the office door thoughtfully.
"Hey, Boss Qian is really well-developed. You are willing to entertain guests with such a good thing as watermelon?" Zhan Yun deliberately joked.
Although there is soilless cultivation technology now, it is mainly used to grow food crops such as rice and wheat, and the output of vegetables and fruits is still very limited. This sliced iced watermelon looks like the very sweet kind produced by a supernatural person with supernatural powers. A watermelon often costs 20 work points, and it is indeed a bit extravagant to entertain guests.
"Haha, didn't I see you coming? Others want to eat, so I won't give it to you!" Qian Fugui was telling the truth. He is definitely the type who watches people order dishes. Most people come to him. Not to mention watermelon, I can't even eat a watermelon rind.
"You asked us to come here, did you already inquire about what you were asked to inquire about a few days ago?" Zhan Yun asked eagerly.
Qian Fugui is good at communication and is very business-minded. He can get along well with anyone. Now more and more people come to the base from other places. Qian Fugui has contacted many people and got news. There are also more channels, and sometimes the news from him is faster and more accurate than that from the base officials.
"Of course, today I heard from a team from the northwest base that there might be level 4 zombies in a small town over there. I heard from them that several supernatural teams have mysteriously disappeared there. There is a third-level supernatural being." When Qian Fugui said, there was still some terrified expression on his face, "But... why are you asking about this? It's a fourth-level zombie..."
It was because of the mysterious disappearance of the third-level superhuman that the Northwest base suspected that a fourth-level zombie had appeared in that small town, but Qian Fugui didn't understand why Zhanyun and the others wanted to inquire about this.
