27. Chapter XXVII

After the apocalypse, the survivors of the entire southern part of China flocked to S City. It is known as the last barrier of Huaguo, and the seaside has built its current base. The upper echelons of Huaguo transferred some important strategic materials and scientific research institutes to the warship, and avoided the zombie virus to the greatest extent.

On the way to the base, Ji Tang and Xu Jing preliminarily completed the sorting of her space. In the end, it was concluded that this space was of great research value. After the end of the world, the natural environment, especially the land and air, has undergone great changes, and all crops have withered overnight, and the black soil in her space can not only neutralize the harmful substances in the air, but also make crops grow five times faster.

The two of them successfully used this soil to cultivate tomatoes similar to space species, which shows that the trace elements in this black soil will not fail in places other than space.

"For the time being, don't let anyone else know about your space." Xu Jing said.

The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. Wouldn't she know about this kind of thing?

From the car, Ji Tang saw the endless convoy from a distance. These are all survivors waiting to enter the base. glamorous as a rich man with many bodyguards, standing on the roof of tens of millions of luxury cars and cursing; Ordinary people who are shabby like dragging their families with mouths, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and walk to the base on two feet. However, in the face of life and death, wealth does not give them the ability to bring privilege - only fists and brains can prove their worth.

"Who is the Adept? The Stranger is here to register and enter the city! ”

The people who finally came to the forefront looked at each other. At this time, a scrawny hand was raised from the crowd, and a young man covered in dirt asked nonoly: "I, I have awakened the ability of spiritual power." ”

The staff's eyes lit up when they heard the mental power, "What kind of mental power?" "If it's an attack system, you can send it directly to the hunting team; If it's intellectual, ask if the institute still accepts people.

The young man straightened his back a little under the envious gaze of everyone, and said, "It's balanced." ”

Balance? Can this be used with a hammer? The staff's face turned cold, he drew a line on the identity crystal card, lowered his head and entered "level eight", threw it to another colleague, and after he finished entering, he said lightly: "After the security check, you can enter the city, according to the crystal card, go to your accommodation and receive living supplies." ”

The young man took the crystal card with trembling hands, thanked him repeatedly, and entered the base.

"What, balance is also an ability? That my family spends a lot of money and crosses the single-plank bridge! ”

"yes, yes, I'm a very fast runner, is that an ability?"

The staff impatiently slapped the table and shouted, "Quiet! Be quiet! I don't know if I have any powers, but I don't! "All people who awaken the ability will automatically get the relevant skills to use, and the frequency of brain waves will be different from normal people. Even if someone tries to lie about their abilities, they can't hide it from their eyes.

In the midst of a buzzing discussion, Xu Jing pushed aside the crowd and took Ji Tang to the entry office.

"I've heard that level 3 or higher abilities can bring family members into the inner city, right?"

The staff glanced at them suspiciously. It seems that it is just an ordinary student, how can they know about this latest regulation and directly say the inner city?

Those stranded outside the base basically don't know what's going on inside. In fact, the specific structure of S City now is very similar to a Japanese animation that Ji Tang watched back then.

They cut off the world with huge walls, and within the walls they subdivided the outer, inner, and core districts. Abilities above level 5 go directly to the inner city and obey the orders of the upper echelons. The outer city will take in ordinary people and low-level abilities to build fortifications, grow food, and ensure the supply of the inner city. The core area is home to office buildings, research institutes, and the residences of the upper floors.

A hint of blue lightning erupted from Xu Jing's fingertips, "Thunder attack ability, plus combat ability." ”

This worker's ability is to sense ability fluctuations, which is why he was sent to do this. He quickly assessed Xu Jing's abilities and their stacking effects, and marked the "Level 2" mark on the crystal card. His eyes fell on Ji Tang, "What about this young lady?" What is it? ”

Ji Tang said: "Twenty cubic meters of space. ”

It's not a good ability, and it's rated around six. The staff frowned, but when she grabbed the arm of the teenager next to her, she guessed that it was a couple. He stacked the crystal cards of the two of them together, "Let's go through security." ”

The S City base is allowed to enter with guns, but it must also be registered, otherwise it will be a black gun. In order to use the gun openly, Ji Tang purposefully tied a handful to his thigh, and threw the rest into the space. When the staff saw Ji Tang, a thin and weak little girl, lifting her skirt and unloading a Colt M97, they couldn't help but glance at her in surprise.

"Isn't there a security check?" Xu Jing leaned to the side, blocking his snooping sight.

The man reacted and said, "Oh, yes. Come here, you two. ”

The two of them checked and followed Jingka empty-handed to find their residence. It was a small building with an extremely old appearance, slightly sloping, and it was estimated that it was three or five years away from collapse. But this is already the treatment of a second-level ability, and the accommodation and living conditions of other people can be imagined.

The inner city still has four walls and a roof to protect from the wind and rain, and it is said that the outer city is full of leaky tents.

The narrow old staircase only allowed one person to pass through Guò, and Ji Tang followed behind Xu Jing. As soon as I reached the third floor, I bumped into a woman running down the stairs with tears streaming down her face and red eyes. She stared blankly at them, several bruises on her forehead and cheeks. Ji Tang pulled Xu Jing and gave way to the side.

"If you have the ability, don't come back! Without Lao Tzu's third-level ability, see how you can support yourself? Go sell it! ”

The woman covered her face and cried, "It's better to sell than to follow you!" You scumbag, you sold all your sons! Are you still human? He rushed downstairs.

Ji Tang and Xu Jing frowned and didn't speak, they walked up the stairs all the way, and saw a drunk man leaning on the door of a room on the sixth floor, shirtless, muttering insults in his mouth. And the second room on the sixth floor is the room they were assigned to.

She entered the room with a crystal card, closed the door with her back to her, and said in a suffrage, "Such a person is actually a third-level ability." ”

"The awakening of the ability is largely arbitrary. As long as you are between the ages of fifteen and forty-five, you can gain abilities. Xu Jing still didn't have any expression, put down his backpack on the tattered bench, took out the stack of notebooks, and continued to do research.

"I'm so scared of you." Ji Tang spread his hands helplessly, "Can you sit down here?" ”

She shook her head, took all the groceries out of the space, and began to clean and furnish the furniture.

"Yes, yes, move the couch to the right a little ......"

As for the great gods, of course, it's the cheap labor of men as beasts-

After settling in the base, the first thing to solve is the problem of work. To Ji Tang's surprise, Xu Jing did not choose to go to the research institute, but joined the hunting team. She was puzzled: "Didn't you say that their research direction is wrong?" ”

"So they couldn't accept my correct answer." The ice and snow between Xu Jing's eyebrows gradually melted, adding a little warmth, "Not everyone will believe in me as much as you do." After all, he is just a student who has not graduated from high school, and even if he enters the graduate school, he can have a little right to speak.

Ji Tang touched his chin, "Do you want to join the hunting team and directly test those zombies?" ”

"That's one of them." But no matter how much she asked him with her eyes, he would not say the "second".

Ji Tang puffed out his cheeks and grimaced at him. "Hmph, I'm going to practice my gun. What are you proud of, just you are smart! ”

Xu Jing watched her delicate figure disappear into the living room, and said in her heart: Silly girl, I still have to earn points to support you.

The gold and points inside the base are mixed, and sometimes it is better to make the points obtained by contributing. Because Qin Yue's team ransacked several supermarkets, Ji Tang had a lot of materials in the space, but in fact, there was not much food that could really be eaten, more canned food and biscuits.

And even though the space can be cultivated, he can't let her spend all her time farming, right?

She didn't come to babysit for him, either-

"No. 76, Xu Jing."

"Here."

Xu Jing was assigned to the 23rd Squad. There are a total of ten people in the squad, including a spatial ability and a healing ability. This is standard for the Kill Squad. The 23rd squad had just lost two main attackers in the last mission, so Xu Jing and another newcomer made up for it.

The squad leader's name is Li Hao, he has a roster in his hand, raises a pair of big eyes from under his thick eyebrows, and smiles at him friendly: "The second-level ability, or the superposition of elements and fighting, is good!" Are you from Z City? Xu Jing nodded.

"It just so happens that the other newcomer who came today is also from Z City, and he is about the same age as you." Li Hao beckoned to the corner, "You guys get to know each other...... Huh! Who, come over here. ”

A tall and handsome boy trotted over, "Captain, you called me?" ”

Under the dazzling morning light, Xu Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he handed his hand to the back of his waist.

"That's right! You see, your fellow countryman is also from Z City, called Xu Jing. From now on, they'll be teammates, you guys get to know each other. Li Hao scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, "What did you just say your name is?" ”

"Needless to say, we know each other. Former classmates. The boy laughed heartily, his snow-white teeth covering up the gloom in his eyes, "Captain, why did you forget, my name is Qin Yue!" ”-

The security in the inner city is not bad, Ji Tang has a gun on his body, he is a little bolder, and he can wander around alone. When it's really dangerous, she can also consider burrowing into the space. However, there is a cooldown time for the entry and exit of the space, and when she stands motionless for five seconds, it is estimated that the gangsters have already chopped her into pieces.

Her destination is the research institute in the core area.

Ji Tang knew in his heart that no matter how many zombies he killed, it was just to quench his thirst, and the root of the real solution to the apocalyptic crisis was still in the vaccine of the research institute. But Xu Jing was unwilling to cooperate with the people in the research institute......

She can't do nothing, even if it's the truth. Perhaps, the people in the research institute are not as pedantic as Xu Jing imagined?

Outside the guardrail of the research institute, there is a row of "military uniforms" guarded, with cold eyebrows. As soon as Ji Tang took two steps closer, he was rushed out by them - "Confidential land, idlers are not allowed to enter." ”

At this time, a black sedan drove from the intersection towards the research institute. The fence at the gate was raised and released without saying a word.

Ji Tang caught a sharp glimpse of a woman sitting in the back seat of the black car, and asked angrily: "Is she also from the research institute?" How could she get in? ”

The woman in the back seat of the car, hearing the movement, leaned over the window and glanced at her.

This time, Ji Tang was surprised, "...... Why is she here? "The woman in the car is actually Xiao Hong, who she once had a grudge against at the transit station!
