In the vast galaxy, there is a beautiful blue planet, set in a corner of the galaxy like a jewel, called Blue Star, unknown, alone wonderful. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info there is a country called Dragon Country in the Blue Star, which is a giant country in the East that has gone through the changes of the times and is still standing, and the divine beast that stands proudly above all spirits, the dragon, is their totem.
But just when this giant power of the East rose again, about to overtake other countries, a catastrophe wiped out all its previous efforts, and not only it, but also the efforts of other countries were wasted overnight.
This catastrophe was caused by a meteorite shower, which occurred suddenly at 9 a.m. on September 1, 2016, and fell to the Blue Star with an irresistible momentum, completely changing the life pattern of the Blue Star.
After the meteorite rain, the falling meteorite merged into the blue star, forming a pentagram, and the area of the five points of the pentagram was all affected by meteorite radiation, and the living environment in other areas was more or less affected, and the balance before the meteorite rain was no longer seen. However, the area in the center of the pentagram is the only "pure land" that is not affected by meteorites, and the environment has even become better than before, like a fairyland, so that the creatures living in it are protected from radiation and isolated from the hustle and bustle of other areas.
The meteorite fused into the blue star and a unique mineral energy source of the blue star to form a new energy source, called the "crystal nucleus", in which pure white and pure black are the best, and the other colors are distinguished by the purity of each color.
Under the influence of this new energy, the energy pattern of Bluestar has also undergone earth-shaking changes, and the changes in energy have further changed the environment of other regions except the "Pure Land", and the organisms living in it have changed more or less.
In this change, three new creatures appeared on the Blue Star, one is a monster that humans are affected by the radiation of a falling meteorite and become a monster that temporarily closes their emotional perception and only has an instinctive killing and a thirst for flesh and blood, called "zombies".
When zombies first began to transform, their movements were stiff, their reactions were slow, their bodies exuded a faint smell of rancidity, but their appearance was similar to that of ordinary people, they only relied on their sense of smell to find living creatures, which was very easy to deal with, and they only needed to penetrate the back of their heads and shatter the origin crystal nucleus in their brains to make them completely dead.
Every once in a while, the pentagram formed by the meteorite will turn in a circle, except for the center that is not affected, and the pentagram that turns around brings the zombies the benefits of leveling up and activating abilities.
In the beginning, the pentagram would rotate every other day, allowing the zombies to rise three levels in a short period of time, but after the three levels, the rotation cycle of the pentagram slowed down, with an average of one rotation every six months.
Every time the zombie rises to a level, its actions will be a little more flexible, its reaction will be faster, the putrid smell emitted by the body is even stronger, and its appearance is also very different from ordinary people, first of all, the skin color, most of which is blue and purple, the skin has also ulcerated, the teeth are becoming sharper and sharper, and the tongue is becoming darker and blacker, which is very disgusting.
After reaching level six, the zombie's movement is no longer hindered, and the reaction is faster than that of ordinary people, but the smell of the body will gradually return to normal, and the appearance can also switch freely between the unique forms of ordinary people and zombies, and the previous corruption is like "molting".
Their memories also regain at this time, and their brains become more active than before, as if they have been reborn.
And the higher they upgrade, the more beautiful and intelligent the zombies become, like vampires, and the older they are, the more charming they are.
Only the beauty and intelligence also depends on the zombies' own situation, and the zombie group is generally polarized, some are more beautiful and smart, and some are more ugly and stupid.
But no one knows the limit of zombie upgrades, it all depends on the activity cycle of the pentagram, if the pentagram is no longer active, maybe the speed of zombie upgrades can stop.
But in addition to the activity cycle of the pentagram, zombies want to level up, there are other ways, such as preying on living creatures, absorbing the life force of living creatures and the energy of the crystallized nucleus in the body, and rummaging through the crystal nucleus underground to absorb the energy in the crystal nucleus.
Zombies themselves will also form a protocrystalline nucleus, usually in the brain, and a few in the heart or other relatively special parts.
When the origin crystal nucleus is destroyed, the zombie will truly embrace death and end the state of "living dead", but the higher the level of the zombie's origin crystal nucleus, the more difficult it is to destroy, if it is not careful, it will cause the self-explosion of the origin crystal nucleus, and the damage caused is incalculable.
When zombies first transform, they don't have abilities until they level up to level 3 zombies.
The zombie's ability is divided by the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, the most common of which is the fire ability, and it is also the most aggressive, some zombies can only inspire one ability, and some zombies can stimulate two or more abilities, such zombies are relatively difficult to upgrade, but once they survive the most difficult stage, they will definitely be included in the ranks of zombie powerhouses.
Among the zombie abilities, there is also a special ability, known as the "pentagram" ability, which refers to the ability of zombies with this ability to use the principle of the five elements to develop other abilities, or even manipulate the five elements to force the zombie or person or animal with these abilities to obey the orders of its owner.
Because of this relationship, the pentagram ability is also called the "origin ability", because the zombie that owns it can control abilities such as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which is the source of these abilities.
However, there is only one owner of the pentagram, and there is never a situation where two or more people have the pentagram.
Zombies are the first new creatures that appear in the blue star, and the ability is the second new creature that appears in the blue star, most of them are people who live in areas that are not affected by meteorite radiation, due to their own conditions, under the weak influence of radiation, they have inspired different abilities, and they are different from ordinary people, and they are not zombies.
The upgrade of the supernatural is not affected by the activity cycle of the pentagram, but only by their own efforts and the amount of crystal nucleus resources. But no matter how much crystal nucleus energy is absorbed, without the actual combat experience or training to match it, it is just a showmanship after all, and there is no level.
The upgrade of the ability is relatively stable, and when the absorbed crystal nucleus energy reaches a certain height, it will break through the barrier of the level, but it must be done according to the body's bearing capacity, otherwise there will be a risk of exploding.
The ability cannot absorb the crystal nucleus energy of zombies or mutant animals and the crystal nucleus energy of the same kind, and there will be terrible side effects, the light ones will become zombies, and the heavy ones will become mutants more terrible than zombies, only know how to kill, and there is no humanity at all.
They can only find energy mines, or receive tasks from the survival base, and exchange mission points for crystal nuclei mined from underground crystal nucleus.
As a result of such restrictions, the "gap between the rich and the poor" between the supernatural is getting wider and wider, and there are more and more contradictions, and cannibalism often occurs.
The abilities of the Abilities are also divided according to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, but they have two more abilities than the zombies, the wind ability and the lightning ability, of which the lightning ability is the strongest.
For example, the zombie ability has a special existence, the pentagram ability, and the ability of the ability also has a special existence, but it is a mutation ability, and the person with this ability can change the form of the seven abilities at will, and develop a special ability such as the ice ability and the plant ability.
There is only one owner of mutation, and there are no two or more abilities at the same time.
There is no upper limit to the level of the ability, the lowest level is level one, and after being promoted to level six, you can enter the ranks of the strong and go to the next level.
But level 6 is a difficult hurdle, and many people have not been able to break through this boundary until they die, and they die with regrets.
But if the boundaries are easy to break, the gold content of the strong will be much weaker.
The third new creature that appeared in the blue star is a mutated animal, flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water, all of which may mutate, except for insects, which are not affected by radiation at all.
The upgrade of mutant animals is the same as that of zombies, which is affected by the activity cycle of the pentagram, but its upgrade speed is faster than that of zombies, and the crystal nucleus produced by the anomalies itself is more effective for it, so it takes the supernatural as the main hunting object, the zombies are secondary, and the flesh and blood of ordinary people are just a food for it.
When mutant animals are transformed, most of them are reflected in their size, and a few are manifested in morphology, such as tigers with wings and rabbits with sharp teeth.
Mutant animal abilities are divided according to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and there is a special ability, but it is an ability that can turn back time, called the "time backwind" ability, and the higher the level, the stronger the time span of the backtrack.
And this time-rewind ability has only one owner, not two or more owners.
There is still no upper limit on the level of mutant animals, the lowest level is level one, and after being promoted to level six, it is a "fierce beast", because mutant animals above this level are the most difficult to deal with, and the origin crystal nucleus is very difficult to destroy, and it often costs a team of abilities to completely destroy it.
After mutant animals are included in the ranks of "fierce beasts", they will develop intelligence, and they will instantly become highly intelligent creatures, they can think, they can use strategies, and they are very cunning and changeable.
But there are also mutant animals that are close to humans, such as dogs, if this kind of mutant animals are still with their owners when they mutate, they will become very loyal, and many ordinary people rely on their loyal dogs to survive.
Therefore, dogs are regarded as "traitors" by mutated animals, but they are also feared by humans, and their owners will choose to abandon them after entering the survival base, either for profit or for self-preservation.
Only a few people choose to stay with their dogs, even if they have to wander alone.
And that "Pure Land" is the paradise that these ronins dream of, only the "Pure Land" is protected by the natural protective shield formed by the pentagram, and if you enter it rashly, you will either get lost in the fog, or fall into the crack of the ground and be caught to death.
If you want to enter the "Pure Land", unless you can get the approval of the guardian beast that was born at the moment of the formation of the five-pointed star, the guardian beast with a human face and a sheep body that guards the "Pure Land", there is only one way to die. No one knows what the Human-Faced Sheep is capable of, only that no one can play against it, maybe a zombie king with the Origin ability, a strong person with mutation, and a mutated animal with the ability to rewind time can try.
If the creatures in the "Pure Land" want to come out, they must also be approved by the human face and the sheep, but after they go out, they cannot come back. And the creatures in the "Pure Land" are not harmed by radiation, they are all the same as before, they remain normal, there are no zombies, no strangers, and no mutated animals, and after outsiders enter the "Pure Land", they will return to normal in an instant and change back to their original appearance.
Regardless of whether the outsider is a stranger, a zombie, or a mutated animal, when the guardian beast is approved and enters the "Pure Land", it begins to "purify" and gradually returns to the way it was before being affected by radiation.
For some, it's best, and they live in peace, but for others, it's a very boring life, because they want to be stronger, and like those who are supernatural, they have special abilities.
Therefore, the society within the "Pure Land" is also full of contradictions and crises.
Due to the fact that the supernatural is also affected by radiation, after being bitten and scratched by zombies or mutated animals, they have a certain healing ability, and the higher the level, the faster the healing speed. If there is a high-quality crystal nucleus with relatively pure color and luster, or pure white and pure black, it can be used to heal wounds and restore health, just put the crystal nucleus on the wound, and the crystal nucleus will automatically emit energy to heal the wound.
However, the nucleus that has healed the wound cannot be used anymore and must be destroyed, otherwise it will have the effect of worsening the environment.
Severely injured abilities will die if they are not healed by a timely and sufficient crystal nucleus, but will turn into zombies or even mutants after death. Therefore, if a seriously injured person is destined to not escape the word "death", most of them will take the first step to end themselves and destroy the Origin Crystal Nucleus, or let their companions kill them and dig out the Origin Crystal Nucleus and destroy it.
Ordinary people do not have the healing ability of the supernatural, once they are bitten and scratched by zombies or mutant animals, the light ones can still survive with crystal nucleus healing, and the heavy ones die on the spot, but they will not transform into zombies or mutant animals.
Zombies and mutated animals are more healing than Abilities, and the Nucleus can also help them recover and heal wounds faster, which is one of the reasons why they are difficult to deal with.
