After entering the depths of the store, unless zombies wander into the store, they will not be attracted at the door.
The three of them stood together in the back kitchen, talking in low voices.
The surname of the two siblings is Qu, the elder sister is called Qu Siling, and the younger brother is called Qu Yan. Qu Siling took out the ice crystal nucleus and asked cautiously, "How do you want to buy this thing?"
Anyone who has read a lot of post-apocalyptic articles knows that normal currency will almost soon become waste paper. Qu Siling thought about it. Although she was not sure whether the world would really be reduced to the apocalypse and the national currency would no longer be used, it is always good to prepare in advance.
Therefore, she deliberately said "how to buy", not how much you plan to pay.
Ye Xu immediately understood what she meant, and after pondering for a while, he took out three crystal nuclei. One each of gray, gold and silver, all of which are special crystal nuclei.
"After the gray crystal nucleus absorbs the power in it, there is a 5% chance of awakening the spiritual power, but there is a 20% chance of becoming a lunatic. Gold and silver are for enhancing strength and speed respectively. You can choose one to follow. I will change. I need ice blue and transparent crystal nuclei. If you have any, you can use them to exchange. But this special crystal nucleus is limited in my hand. I can use other crystal nuclei and You exchange."
Qu Yan looked at his sister, didn't dare to speak, and shut up obediently.
Qu Siling stared at the gray crystal nucleus, a little ready to move. But the 20% madness rate is too high, she can't afford it.
As an ordinary person without supernatural powers, she really yearns for supernatural powers. However, she would not try her own wisdom until a critical moment.
After thinking about it, she took out a few more crystal nuclei that Ye Xu needed: "I'll change it with you, I want a gray one, and the rest will be exchanged for gold and silver ones."
She decided to keep a gray one for herself just in case. If the situation was really critical, she would try to awaken the ability. If you haven't reached that point, put it away properly and don't use it indiscriminately.
The ability of gold and silver is very useful to her. No matter what, it can enhance her physical fitness. After using it for her parents, she can feel more at ease.
Ye Xu was not surprised, he completed the deal with Qu Sling without saying a word. Qu Siling fought all the way from the apartment to the street, and probably encountered a lot of zombies in the community, but no matter how many zombies there were, it would not exceed 20. Out of the 20 zombies alone, she took five crystal cores that Ye Xu needed. It was obvious that this girl was the real Emperor of Europe, not by chance.
Ye Xu has already realized that his own European energy has been lowered, so the explosion rate has not met his own psychological expectations. In this case, he can make a deal with this girl, then he can exchange the crystal core he doesn't need for what he wants.
However, whether it is the crystal nucleus that Ye Xu wants or what Ye Xu does not want, it is of no use to her for the time being. So on her side, she doesn't care whether to exchange or not. As the one who needs others, Ye Xu decided to provide some information as a reward, so that it can be regarded as an equivalent exchange.
Qu Siling didn't expect Ye Xu to be willing to tell her these things. In fact, in her opinion, changing the crystal core is a piece of cake. Anyway, she has nothing to lose, and Ye Xu doesn't need to pay any more. But Ye Xu insisted on paying, so she had no choice but to accept it.
"These crystal nuclei correspond to different elements." Ye Xu introduced to her one by one. In addition to the gold, wood, water, fire, and earth that can be seen at a glance, which correspond to yellow, green, blue, red, and brown, the light, dark, thunder, ice, and wind are white, black, and purple. , Ice Blue and Transparent. There are three kinds of special crystal cores. Ye Xu has already told her, and there is one universal crystal core that is colored.
After carefully memorizing it, Qu Siling thanked: "I know how to use it, thank you very much!"
Ye Xu shook his head: "If possible, you can keep the ice and wind crystal nuclei after you get them, and I will come to you to exchange them. Of course, if you urgently need to exchange them for other things, it doesn't matter. If you have extra gold and silver crystal nuclei , I will leave it to you too."
"By the way, there is one more thing. After you successfully awaken the psychic power, the gray crystal nucleus will no longer be a problem to absorb it. It is the same as the crystal nucleus that ordinary supernatural beings usually absorb their own attributes, but be careful to put it away Don't let other people absorb it. Psychic abilities progress very slowly, and you can only rely on gray crystal cores and universal crystal cores, so you have to be mentally prepared."
Psychic powers are so powerful, they can even control zombies. So it upgrades very slowly, and the limit level is extremely high.
In fact, if you are determined to take this path, it is best to awaken it from the very beginning. Because it is easy to control zombies of the same level or weaker with mental abilities, it will be very difficult to control by leapfrogging. When she wakes up at the later stage of the mode, she will find that her ability cannot be controlled by a single zombie, and high-level zombies are running around everywhere in the world. If there is no large number of crystal cores to help her upgrade in a short period of time, then this ability is useless.
"Thank you, I understand." Qu Siling pursed her lips, "I will think about it carefully."
After the transaction between the two parties was completed, the whole process was quite pleasant. Ye Xu left a system mark on her to make it easier to find her in the future.
This marking function is one of the few functions in the dungeon system. It is useless at first glance, but it is actually very practical. It is too difficult to find a person in the last days, and it is much more convenient to have a mark. Now if Ye Xu opens the mini-map, he can directly see where Qu Siling is.
After seeing off the siblings, Ye Xu was in a good mood. He used to rely on ordinary crystal cores and rare universal crystal cores to upgrade, and the speed was really slow. But there is no way, no one can prevent him from exploding, the most mutated crystal nuclei in his hand are from the thunder system, and he gets annoyed every day looking at them, wishing they could all be dyed ice blue.
Ye Xu felt that Qu Siling would not be able to produce a large number of crystal cores in the short term. After all, after she returned home and reunited with her parents, they would not easily go out to kill zombies. Unless their parents were very enlightened and allowed them to practice their skills by killing zombies downstairs, they would have to wait until they rushed to the survivor base before they would have the chance to obtain new crystal nuclei.
Of course, Qu Siling still has the crystal nuclei she collected when she fought all the way home now. But it's not very convenient for transactions, Ye Xu can't go to other people's houses to block the door.
After thinking about it, he decided to follow the original plan. Anyway, Qu Siling will go to the base sooner or later, the crystal nucleus can't escape there, and it's only a matter of time before they meet.
Ye Xu came out of the dumpling shop, looked in the direction, and continued walking forward.
In order to clean up as many zombies as possible, Ye Xu didn't walk fast. He basically didn't let go of the zombies that appeared in his field of vision, collecting many crystal nuclei along the way.
With these crystal nuclei, and what Qu Siling exchanged for him, Ye Xu successfully broke through level 2 in the early morning of the next day and became a level 3 ability user. He continued to find a place to sleep, and by the way completely digested the energy of those crystal nuclei in his body.
The third-level supernatural beings can comprehend the second skill, and what Ye Xu comprehend is ice cone and teleportation. With the help of the ice cone, Ye Xu gave up the ice shield directly.
He hasn't encountered danger yet, so he doesn't need to use the ice shield all the time. On the contrary, saving energy to use ice picks to increase the efficiency of spawning monsters is the right thing to do.
It's a pity that after reaching level 3, the ability upgrade is more than ten times slower than at the beginning, and I still have to be busy to upgrade to level 4. Don't think about it in the short term, let alone the third skill that can be comprehended after level 5.
Ye Xu tried the power of the ice pick against a big tree, and found that it could easily penetrate thick trees. After piercing, the strength didn't decrease much, and it directly pierced a truck in front of it horizontally. The metal walls on both sides of the truck were quite thick, and the tip of the ice pick barely protruded from the second wall on the other side, but the first wall had been pierced long ago.
This power startled him, no doubt it was a level 3 skill. The ice pick is different from the wind blade. The wind blade cannot control the size, but the ice pick can. Ye Xu simply condensed a finger-long ice pick, which is small and exquisite, consumes less power, can produce a large amount, and can be used as a hidden weapon to hurt people.
Ye Xu is very satisfied with this, even a small ice pick is enough to pierce the head of a level 2 zombie, and it will be a little difficult for level 3 zombies. Therefore, at this stage, the small ice pick is always disadvantageous, which greatly improves Ye Xu's efficiency in spawning monsters.
It is now the evening of the third day of the zombie outbreak (the hour of waking up at 11 o'clock in the middle of the night is considered the first day), and today it is obvious that there are many NPCs running out to buy food. Although there is still no one in the supermarket, moral citizens still estimate the price and lose some banknotes on the cash register. If it doesn't work, they can go to the self-service cash register to scan the code to pay, but it is a bit laborious.
Of course, there are also people who take things for nothing and don’t give money. But it is still a minority, after all, the surveillance is still filming.
The speed of human depravity is not as fast as in the novel. When Ye Xu passed by a supermarket, he saw several strong young people smashing to death the last zombie in the store. Then let other citizens rush in to buy things, go home quickly after shopping, and don't stay on the street.
There are too many zombies at level 1. The speed of zombies at this stage is really slow, so be careful and you won't get hurt. The young men looked very experienced at first glance, and the whole process of killing the zombies was straightforward, and no one was injured.
"Be careful and close the door. We will go to the next door to help clean up these monsters. You wait here for a while. When we come back and clean up the zombies at the door, you can take the opportunity to go home." The leading man shouted Said, "Remember to lock the door, don't let the monsters come in, they can't break the door. We will be back in an hour, you remember to buy something within an hour!"
Everyone was very obedient and locked the door obediently. They know that they are weak, and it is best to stay in peace and not hold back. In particular, most of the people present were teenagers and middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s, and they were not at their peak combat effectiveness.
As for the young people in the middle, some of them followed the team to help clean up the zombies, while some didn't dare to go, so they hid in the supermarket to sweep the goods.
But this kind is still a minority. After all, they dare to go out to buy food. It is impossible that they have never faced zombies at all, so they don't have the guts. Although they were able to get here safely all the way by avoiding zombies and detouring outside the zombie's perception distance.
Ye Xu thought about it and decided to go to the mall to have a look. When the virus broke out, it was the time when the shopping malls were the most crowded, and there must have been a lot of zombies. And because the density is too high, no one dares to clean it up, which is suitable for Ye Xu to spawn monsters.
He avoided the crowd and walked to the nearest mall.
