After two days and one night's journey, they finally arrived at the Lucheng base.
Along the way, you can see many people who came to Lucheng base with big bags and small bags to salute.
Perhaps fearing that the sudden black rain would appear again, many people covered their heads with clothes or pots, lowered their heads, looked decadent and lifeless, and walked with heavy steps.
Most people's faces are generally pale and vegetable-colored, and they look like they are undernourished, and their eyes are dim and dull.
Except for an ignorant child bouncing on the lid of the pot and making a clattering sound, looking lively and funny, the parents with thin cheeks and tired face ignored this naughty child, and kept their heads numbly looking at Lu The city base is walking.
Pei Zhaozhou comes from a powerful and rich interstellar country. Its territory covers several major galaxies, and the number of registered planets exceeds 10,000. Many uninhabitable desolate stars are not included. Even Pei Zhaozhou himself has several resource stars.
Regardless of whether the planet is rich or not, at least the people of the empire are well-fed, and their spirits are positive and enterprising. They are not as mournful as the people on this small planet are visible to the naked eye, just like the invisible despair that is shrouded in darkness. flows between.
Pei Zhaozhou felt an inexplicable strangeness in his heart, and took another look at Si Huaixi who was staring at those pedestrians with a cold face.
The ordinary people on this planet seem so weak, but there are always some people who are so strong that he finds it incredible. It is really a strange world, where it seems that fragility and strength coexist, and they are also precarious.
Standing in front of the towering city wall, outside the 28-meter-high and thick wall is a layer of sharp metal blades, each blade protruding more than ten or twenty centimeters long, so sharp that it makes one's heart jump at a glance.
This is jointly built by the earth-type supernatural powers and the gold-type supernatural powers to resist zombies.
The densely packed sharp knives on the city wall looked terrible, leaving only a small door for people to come in and out.
People from outside crowded to that small gate.
Pei Zhaozhou looked at it from a distance, and the city wall, which seemed to be full of defense to outsiders, had already seen many flaws in an instant in the eyes of him who had commanded countless offensive and defensive battles as a major general of the empire. He thought of more than a dozen ways to improve the defense of this base. scheme.
The intelligent brain silver arc beside him also analyzed and said.
[Master, this world is really backward. It seems that the prehistoric cultural relics displayed at the Imperial Museum are at least three hundred years behind the empire in terms of technology. The master wants to make a spaceship and give it to Mr. Si to leave this backward planet. It may not be so easy. The level of industry is far from what it was in the empire, and I don't know whether to forge iron like primitive people?]
Pei Zhaozhou denies: Guns can be made here, there is an industrial foundation, and the rest is up to me to upgrade, the only concern... Yin arc, how is my body monitoring today
Yin Arc replied with some excitement: [Master, since your susceptibility period was earlier last time, Yin Arc has been terribly worried, but your physical condition has improved slightly afterwards... and there was another time when the pheromone in your body was low. The increase in magnitude made Yin Arc think that Master, your susceptibility period has advanced, and almost intends to wake you up, but it seems that the critical value has not been reached.]
Pei Zhaozhou frowned suspiciously: When did I almost have a susceptibility period again
Yin Arc: [Just last night, the master slept too deeply, and the alpha pheromone was overflowing, so I don't know, but it was Mr. Si who kindly took care of you all night.]
Pei Zhaozhou's eyes became even more confused. Thinking of the weird dream he had last night, and the dream that Si Huaixi hit his embarrassing side that exploded during the susceptible period, it must be true!
—The cat suddenly panicked!
Pei Zhaozhou subconsciously suppressed the panic in his heart, and continued to calm down and ask Yin Huan important things: how long can my body last
Originally, he was running out of time, but seeing the backward technological level of this doomsday base made him even more worried and anxious.
As the highest-level intellectual brain of the Interstellar Empire, whether it is running speed or storage and computing functions, it is among the top batch, but the intellectual brain Silver Arc unexpectedly paused for a while, and finally analyzed a hypothesis.
[Master, haven't you noticed? Since the last time you erupted in the susceptible period in front of Mr. Si, not only did you not die of the pheromone riot, your body function collapsed and died as the doctor said, but you have improved slightly. You must know that in the technologically advanced interstellar empire you The situation is always getting worse and never getting better!]
[Originally, Yin Arc wasn't sure, but since your susceptibility period almost broke out last night, Master, Yin Arc has been paying attention to your body values, and found a slight improvement!]
Pei Zhaozhou's heart was beating, and the blood that had been silent for a long time began to flow again.
"Silver arc, what do you mean?"
Yin Hu said excitedly: [That's right! Master, you must have come to this world because the heavens saw that you are so good and gave you a glimmer of life. Yin Arc suspects that there is a wonderful magnetic field or substance in this world that can cure your master's terminal illness of pheromone disorder!]
[Master, as long as you find out what that substance is, you may not die!]
— maybe he won't die
—After being tortured so many times by the ruthless fate, he was almost desperate to accept his fate, and suddenly gave him a glimmer of hope.
Pei Zhaozhou thought that he would be happy when he heard Zhinao Yinhu's words, but a trace of uneasiness, fear and bewilderment arose in his heart.
People who are used to being tossed by fate are suddenly favored by fate.
It was like a villain turned into a protagonist, which surprised him so much that he was at a loss and couldn't believe it.
Pei Zhaozhou didn't have the humanized excitement like Zhinao Yinhu, but calmed down and said: Then I can live longer.
It's just that when he saw Si Huaixi next to him, walking side by side with him with long legs, he seemed to be accommodating him, a patient who just had a fever.
When Pei Zhaozhou suddenly stopped thinking about things, Si Huaixi was not in a hurry and stopped, looking at him with worry and concern in his dark blue eyes.
The moment Pei Zhaozhou raised his head, he met those clear sea-blue eyes. The concern in his eyes warmed his heart, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.
I repeated it in my heart: then a little longer.
Pei Zhaozhou suddenly remembered something, hesitated for a moment and asked Si Huaixi, "Did I...did you do anything strange last night?"
Si Huaixi's pupils froze for an instant, almost thinking that what happened last night had been exposed, and the roots of his ears turned red.
But thinking about it, it wasn't him who did the bad thing last night, it was Pei Zhaozhou who took the initiative first, but he was kind enough to see that Pei Zhaozhou was cold at night, so he took the initiative to hold him in his arms...in his arms...
Si Huaixi suddenly became so stiff that he couldn't even move his hands, and he walked a few steps with the same hands and feet, but Pei Zhaozhou didn't notice him, so he turned his head and pretended to be cold and said: "No, why did you ask such a question suddenly? "
Little did they know that the more nervous Si Huaixi was, the more solemn and majestic his handsome face would be, looking upright and awe-inspiring.
Pei Zhaozhou suddenly doubted what Zhinao Yinhu said just now, he was really almost susceptible last night, did Si Huaixi still take care of him
Pei Zhaozhou shook his head, changed the subject and returned to the Lucheng base. Now this is what he should care about, and said, "It's nothing, this is the Lucheng base you are talking about."
Following Pei Zhaozhou's line of sight, Si Huaixi looked again at the place where he was born and grew up, and was destroyed and rebuilt after countless days and nights, with deep and complicated meanings flashing in his eyes.
"Well, here it is."
Pei Zhaozhou asked: "It's quite popular here. I see that many people came from outside at the risk of being attacked by zombies. What's so special about this base?"
There is a small gate just outside the city wall of the Lucheng base, and the people who defected to the city lined up in a long line.
Because the Lucheng base has a limited number of places to enter every day, except for supernatural beings and ordinary people who have missions to go out, they are generally not allowed to enter and leave the base casually.
In order to enter this base quickly, some people have been queuing here for several days, not afraid that zombies will come.
There was noise from time to time in front of the team, and there were a few strong men holding spars who wanted to jump in line and enter the base quickly, almost causing a stampede. I beat them up and forced them to line up again, probably in chaos.
Si Huaixi's eyes sank: "What's special? It can make people alive."
Lucheng base has a total population of more than 300,000, and all the supernatural users add up to less than 10,000. It is a medium-sized base, but the management system of this base is strict. Report to the supervision team, and if the supernatural person does too bad things, he will be punished.
Such a fair and just system before the end of the world is taken for granted by everyone.
But after the end of the world, zombies completely subverted the status of human beings.
The previous thermal weapons were effective against zombies at the beginning, but as the zombies evolved, the bullets could not penetrate the stiff skin of the zombies, and the strength of ordinary people couldn't withstand the zombies, and they were completely reduced to lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
If it weren't for a very small number of ordinary people who evolved into supernatural beings, relying on supernatural beings to resist the attack of zombies, or human beings would be completely extinct.
Therefore, in the post-apocalyptic world, people with supernatural powers have a high status and even privileges, all because of their hard work and fighting with zombies.
In the 28 years since the end of the world, ordinary people have become accustomed to the status of supernatural beings above them. Some bases blessed by supernatural powers have even harsher conditions for ordinary people to join. If they join, they will become lifelong slaves of the base and lose their lives. Freedom, even if the base tells them to die, they must not refuse to be the bait to attract zombies.
Since the Lucheng base has changed several leaders, the system has become much more tolerant.
At least ordinary people are allowed to join freely, they will not be sent to death casually, and they have life security. As a full-fledged member of the Lucheng Base, they will also be provided with a certain amount of food every day.
Even if ordinary people and supernatural beings want to leave this base one day, they only need to pay a small amount of crystals to make up for the base’s supply of supplies to them copiously, and they will not forcibly bind supernatural beings to a base. in the base.
This is a good thing for ordinary people, and it is also a very rare good thing for people with supernatural powers.
Being a superhuman seems to be better than ordinary people. On weekdays, supernatural beings can enjoy the devotional services of ordinary people in the base, and they don't need to engage in tedious labor, but they have to face a lot of difficulties and dangers.
When the base encounters a zombie attack, the superhumans will be the first to defend against the zombies on the front line, and it is not impossible for the supernatural beings to be infected with the zombie virus. If they encounter zombies of higher rank than them, the risk of infection is very high.
Even if you kill the zombies and get the spar in the zombie's head, the supernatural person can use it to absorb the energy upgrade ability in the spar, you can't take it lightly, there are not no cases of failure in advancement.
One of the most tragic cases is the Nanqing base tragedy in the 23rd year of the end of the world. Since the 21st year of the end of the world, people with supernatural powers have broken through to the ninth level one after another. The overall strength has greatly increased.
At that time, the Nanqing Base was managed by Shi Jinglue, a 9th-level powerhouse of the gold system. Many high-level powerhouses followed him, and his deputy was also a 9th-level powerhouse. With nearly a million people including ordinary people, it can be called the top ten large bases in Huaguo.
But in an accidental siege of zombies, Shi Jinglue finally obtained a long-awaited metal 9th-level zombie spar.
At that time, people in Huaguo and even all over the world broke through to level 10. Of course, Shi Jinglue, who had been stagnant at level 9 for several years, was unwilling to let others break through. He wanted to break through to level 10. For this reason, he took the initiative to summon subordinates of supernatural beings to encircle and suppress high-level Zombies to obtain suitable metallic hedrons.
Suitable zombie crystals are hard to find. Shi Jinglue found this 9th-grade metallic crystal after several torments. He thought it was a good thing, but he didn't expect an accident.
Shi Jinglue broke through to level 10, but he became a level 10 zombie.
There was a change in the breakthrough process. Shi Jinglue turned into a zombie, lost his humanity, and bloodbathed the base of a million people. All the supernatural beings couldn't stop Shi Jinglue, whose strength doubled after breaking through the 10th level, and was killed by him instead. Dig out the brains and the hedrons inside and eat them.
In the last base with a population of one million, only a few thousand people escaped.
This is the Nanqing base tragedy, which caused incalculable casualties in the history of Huaguo, and the culprit—Shi Jinglue became a zombie and still occupied the Nanqing base. Hundreds of thousands of zombies wandered around the base day and night , No one dares to approach, it has become a taboo place.
Since then, Huacheng Base, the capital base of Huaguo, has gathered the leaders of Huaguo, the most powerful supernatural beings, countless top scientists, and scientific and military strength, and declared an irresistible law.
[Once the high-level ability user breaks through to level 9, he must go to the Hwaseong base and accept the guidance of the strong fire seed in the base.]
Si Huaixi suddenly frowned, stared sharply in one direction, took out a key from his pocket, quickly stuffed it into Pei Zhaozhou's hand, and said, "Here is the key, you can enter the residence of my base. Come to me after the one-day observation period."
Pei Zhaozhou was stuffed with a key inexplicably, and he still didn't realize it, and asked in a low voice, "Why did you give me the key to your house?"
Si Huaixi's figure jumped up, and stood on the 28-meter city wall in a blink of an eye, leaving only a few words that were blown away by the wind.
"I'm leaving, take the key."
Pei Zhaozhou was frightened by that amazing jumping ability, his amber golden eyes were stunned for a while, watching Si Huaixi's back disappear into the sky higher than the city wall.
Hindsight.
There was a sudden panic in the crowd.
But the sound didn't seem to come from outside the city wall, but from inside the city wall...
That is, inside the base.
The member in charge of supervising the entrance of the base seemed to have received some news. In order to appease the restless people, he said: "A zombie snake has sneaked into the base, and it has now been killed by a superpower in the base. Please rest assured!"
The people calmed down one after another, and they were still happily discussing that the supernatural powerhouses in Lucheng Base must be very strong to deal with the zombie beasts so quickly.
Joy and vitality appeared on the originally lifeless face. The more powerful people there were in the base, the more secure they would be.
However, Pei Zhaozhou keenly smelled the bloody smell in the air, his eyes sank suddenly, and he clenched the key in his hand.
