Because Wang Xinxin didn't have much extra crystal nuclei on hand, they were not willing to use crystal nuclei to quickly recover their abilities every time they ran out of abilities, but spent more time allowing the ones in their bodies to recover on their own. Although this saves crystal nuclei, it delays a lot of time. Knowing that the afternoon's training was over, they had only practiced three times in their entirety.

In fact, the army will also issue some crystal nuclei to soldiers as salaries, and people like Wang Xinxin and others are guaranteed to send six crystal nuclei every month. This amount is very small, and if it is used for cultivation, it is not enough at all. But if you just want to be able to eat and clothe yourself, this crystal nucleus is enough.

The army provides free food and lodging, and a set of clothes is issued every quarter, so even if you don't pay your salary, the most basic food and clothing can still be guaranteed. But how can you have such ambition as a supernatural person?

If it's an ordinary person, it's okay if there is no further possibility, but since they are already lucky enough to have the ability, they will inevitably find ways to continuously improve their strength.

Isn't there a saying that "learning is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat"? It's the same with cultivation abilities. Now because it hasn't been long since the end of the world began, everyone's level is about the same, they are all beginner abilities, and the abilities are not so easy to improve, so even if the end of the world is full of abilities at the beginning and there are enough crystal nuclei for cultivation, it will take more than half a year to be able to improve to the level of a first-level ability. What's more, this is only an ideal situation, and most people do not have such conditions.

So, in this way, it will be very difficult to open up the gap in the short term, and there will be no big gap between those who work hard to cultivate and those who don't work hard.

But even so, there must be very few people who will give up cultivation and be willing to live like this. Because it's not easy to level up an ability, if you don't work hard now, when everyone else becomes a first-level ability, you really can't catch up if you want to.

And the low-level supernatural ones are just a little better than ordinary people, barely able to make ends meet. Therefore, there will never be a person with extraordinary abilities who will be so unenterprising, eating and waiting for death.

Now Wang Xinxin and the others are very worried about this problem. Although they had a full day and gained a lot, they delayed too much time in the afternoon because of the shortage of crystal nuclei.

After eating dinner and returning to the dormitory to rest, although the four of them were tired and lay directly on the bed, they were still worried, and they cheered up to discuss what to do in the future.

"Zining, the effect of our training like this is still very good, that is, in the afternoon, because we don't have many crystal nuclei on hand, so a lot of time alone is almost enough for us to train for a round."

They hadn't trained with so many supernatural beings before, so naturally they didn't feel too much of a gap. And they also feel that their luck is still good, and others should be in a similar situation to them.

They didn't save the crystal nucleus, and it is estimated that the situation of other supernatural beings is similar to theirs. Because of this, they are still very confident in their own strength.

But today is obviously a big blow, it turns out that they really feel too good about themselves before, these supernatural people in the army, because they have a lot of backers and financial resources, so they can get a lot of crystal nuclei, so the strength of these people is growing at two or three times the rate of them. If they continue to grow at this rate, it is estimated that in another half a year, they will be able to grow into first-level abilities, and at that time they were still junior abilities, and the gap is too big.

But they are a little lucky, it's good that they have entered the army now, otherwise the longer this time drags on, the bigger the gap will be.

"Yes, Zining, what do you say we should do now, and I don't know when we will start doing the task."

Each ability has six crystal nuclei, that's just the basic salary, what is the use of such a few crystal nuclei? Moreover, the army is not so picky, and the reason why the basic salary is set so low is to encourage everyone to work harder on the task. Otherwise, if you don't do the task or not, you will have a good salary, who still has the heart to be born and die.

The army also implements distribution according to work, and only by doing more can we get more, so that we can arouse everyone's enthusiasm.

"Yes, you can get at least ten crystal nuclei for this mission, didn't we listen to them during dinner, and each of them got thirty crystal nuclei at the most?"

"It's really not going to work like this, but the problem is that we can't do anything else right now. Now is not the time for us to go it alone with the Dawn mercenary team, but now everything has to be arranged by the army, not that we can take on the task if we want to. ”

Du Zining was also very anxious in her heart, whether it was before or after the end of the world, she had always been eager to become strong, so now this status quo was the last thing he wanted to see, but there was no way but to do it first.

Besides, it's not a matter of urgency, let's train according to the army's arrangement first, anyway, there must be a time for a mission, otherwise what is the army doing with their group of people? So, let's wait for the arrangement, I just hope that this day will come soon.

When the other three heard Du Zining say this, although they all knew that this was the truth, they were still very frustrated.

Seeing that everyone's interest was not high, although Du Zining was also a little depressed, she still cheered up and comforted everyone.

"You don't have to worry too much, you have to take your time in everything. We will definitely be photographed out of the task, and the time will definitely not be too long, and raising such a large number of people is also a big burden. The army is not stupid, how can it do a loss-making business, so we will definitely be sent on a mission soon. ”

"It's just that although it won't be long before we can earn crystal nuclei, it's better not to use crystal nuclei when training abilities during this time. Just a few crystal nuclei, it's better to save it just in case when you go out on a mission. ”

"Aren't you all tired? If you don't hurry up and rest, tomorrow's task will not be easy. ”

Du Zining struggled to hold her eyelids, and finally threatened.

Thinking of the high-intensity training that will be there tomorrow, Wang Xinxin and the three of them suddenly felt that they still had the energy to think about such a long-term problem, which was really incredible.

"Sleep, sleep, sleep now."

Not long after the words fell, all four of them fell asleep, and they were indeed too tired today.

A week later, Wang Xinxin and the four of them finally waited for another opportunity to do the task.

Early in the morning, they still went out to exercise first, then had breakfast, and then started a morning of training. However, in the indoor training venue, Wei Qifeng did not arrange for everyone to run a few laps first to prepare for the activities.

"Today, our team was sent out to do a mission, so we won't do daily training. I would like to make a few points, first, the thirty people of our squad will be divided into ten groups, each with twenty ordinary soldiers; Second, as before, although he is a team leader, he must not make his own decisions when performing tasks, and must unconditionally obey the orders of the commander-in-chief; Third, in case of danger, you must send a signal flare in time to call for help......"

Wei Qifeng said a lot of things this time, but they were all the same content, he said it very skillfully, and he had obviously said it many times.

Sitting in a military truck again, this time their identities are completely different. Looking at the uniforms around her, Wang Xinxin's heart was very emotional.

This time, the mission was done by the army at the base alone, and no mercenary squads were recruited to help. Before the mission, Wei Qifeng not only listed the requirements of the members of the Alien Squad, but also briefly introduced the specific situation of the current mission.

This time, they were exempted from collecting grain at the reserve grain depot in City D, the pre-apocalyptic grain production base, and on the way to the mission, the main task of these supernatural beings was to ensure the safety of ordinary soldiers while they were carrying food.

The dangers encountered mainly come from two aspects, on the one hand, zombies. Since the appearance of first-level zombies, the place where zombie groups appear is no longer limited to densely populated cities. Led by a first-level zombie, a horde of zombies may appear anywhere.

Because now the population of big cities has fled a lot, and people know to run to sparsely populated places when they run for their lives, so that there will be relatively few zombies there, and the chance of survival will be greater.

As a result, the city has become almost empty, and it can even be said that it has lost its homeland.

Although zombies don't starve like humans for a day without eating, they also need energy. Once the energy of the crystal nucleus in the body is exhausted, they will also lose energy and die completely.

And there is only one way to replenish energy, and that is to eat. Whether it is the flesh and blood of humans or mutated animals, it is their favorite food, and the flesh and blood of the supernatural are the most delicious and nourishing food for them.

So in order to hunt for food, zombie hordes will naturally wander around.

And the first-level zombies, whether in terms of smell or other abilities, are much higher than the primary loss. They can track food at a greater distance than primary loss, and they also have an absolute appeal to primary loss.

A first-level zombie can often control two hundred zombies, which is a terrifying number. Once surrounded, even the Anomalous can be consumed alive. Therefore, the zombie group can be said to be the number one natural enemy of the survivors who went out on the mission.

The second biggest threat comes from survivors. Because of limited resources, the competition for supplies among survivors is also very strong. City D is a well-known grain production base in country Z, and the grain reserves in city D are very huge.

Because of the reputation of D City, it is likely that a large number of survivors have gathered there, and even a civilian survivor base has been established.

The state still acquiesces to this kind of civilian survivor base. Because it is impossible to build official survivor bases in every city within a year. This is not only a matter of enclosing land and building houses, but also sending special personnel to manage it, and sending troops to protect the safety of the base. So building a survivor base is a big and complicated project.

Therefore, since the state does not have time to prepare for everything, the establishment of its own survivor base by the private sector can also greatly alleviate the pressure on the state.

Although there are various problems in the civilian survivor base, such as the internal system is not perfect, the exploitation of the survivors to which they belong is too serious, and the security measures are too weak, they cannot resist the attack of a large number of zombies.

But even so, it at least gave a place for many who couldn't reach the official survivor base.

Although these people living in small civilian bases may suffer a lot of injustice, they have at least been given a chance to survive in a difficult way, rather than having to wait tragically for their death.

There is also a large population to support, and the state is in the consideration of the overall situation, and it is impossible to ban the existence of small civilian bases, so naturally there is a great competition between the two in the search for materials.

There are so many supplies, and the world doesn't know when it will be able to resume production. Once the official large base gets more, the small private base will definitely get less.

It's all for survival, and the two sides naturally don't give in to each other. When this competition escalates to the level of conflict, there will always be some casualties.

It's just that because the conflict is a normal human being, sometimes other methods can be used to resolve the dispute, and if you are injured, you will not be like being bitten by a zombie, there is a high risk of being infected. Therefore, this source of danger is a little less harmful than a large number of zombies.

It's just that Wang Xinxin can't understand why the state hasn't built a survivor base here since City D is a grain production base. You must know that the S base is already the closest official base to D City, but even if it is the closest one, S Base is still more than 200 kilometers away from D City.

Because zombies are rampant outside, the loss is mainly based on the sense of smell to find food. So as long as it's not the kind of artist who is bold, or if there is really no way, he won't rush to the night.

And the dawn in winter is relatively late, so Wang Xinxin guessed that even if the road went smoothly, when they arrived in D City, it was estimated that it would be almost noon.

Wang Xinxin looked at the depressed scene on both sides of the road, and was very worried about whether the road would really go smoothly.

And she was puzzled, this was their first mission, and they had only been in the army for a week. After a week, she took on the mission, which was expected by her, after all, it is impossible for the army to raise idlers for a long time, and many abilities do have to be cultivated in actual combat.

But why does the army trust them so much? Looking at this formation, the secrecy of the mission this time should still be very high, is it really good to send a newcomer like them? (To be continued.) )
