Chapter 146: Survival of the Fittest
In the small courtyard, Yu Yan was polishing a bone in one hand and a thin ice needle in the other, the bone was about five centimeters in diameter and 10 centimeters long.
On a stone bench next to him, Xiao Qi was holding an apple the size of a football in his hand, and said while nibbling, "Xiao Yan, have you really decided to make your own equipment?" You already have your own equipment shop now, and you have one, haven't you always liked to go there and find someone to do it? ”
Yu Yan nodded: "I've asked a long time ago, those masters who make equipment are actually in name only, and they are just grinding and hollowing out ready-made materials, but it's actually very simple." They can do it, but what can't I do? Maybe in the future, I will be able to figure out the rules of materials and make equipment that is more suitable for me! ”
Xiao Qi shook his head: "Then when will you make it?" I also have to install crystal nuclei, do you know how troublesome it is to install crystal nuclei in the channel, I have seen the boss do it before, and how many times it has failed before I succeeded in one. ”
"Why are you so unconfident in me, where there is a will, it can be done!" Yu Yan said that she was arrogant, but there was a lot of bones of failure on her right hand, uh, failure is always inevitable, no hurry!
Xiao Qi was helpless: "Okay, but are you really sure you want to do it in this yard?" ”
Yu Yan looked at him strangely: "If it's not in the courtyard, where can you put such a big flame lion?" ”
I saw that in the open space in front of Yu Yan, the corpse of a huge flame lion was piled up there like a hill, and the blood of that corpse had long since dried up, and now it was no longer bleeding. At the top of that hill. The little tiger was happily eating, and the little tiger tooth was torn hard. Another chunk of meat was torn off.
Xiao Qi shouted: "But the little lion is still in this yard, don't you want to raise it?" It hates humans by nature. Thou hast stripped the skin and bones of its fellow kind in front of it, and thou shalt not fear that it hates thee even more? ”
Yu Yan said indifferently: "This is not its mother, why should it hate me?" ”
"Huh?" Xiao Qi was confused.
Bypassing most of the corpse of the Flame Lion, the little lion was burying his head in his paws, looking ignorant of the world, noticing their eyes, the little lion who was calm just now immediately raised his head and bared his teeth fiercely at them, with an expression of eagerness to dismantle them and eat them.
"Look!" Xiao Qi pointed to the little lion, with an expression that was sure to be so.
Yu Yan didn't care: "It's always been this expression!" ”
said. Another bone was sharpened and the cylinder was formed, and she turned the base up, took out a high-grade crystal nucleus from the space, and began to smash it into it with all her might.
Reality is not a magic novel, there are no spells and no skills, you can only smash it hard and hit it with chance, of course, this is a serious waste of crystal nuclei. Because if she doesn't succeed, the crystal nucleus she uses will be lost, and some of the energy in it will escape.
Therefore, equipment with crystal nuclei is rare to come by, and the market price is also very expensive! Although Yu Yan loves money. She is also very distressed about the wasted crystal nucleus, but she thinks that compared to strength, any waste is worth it!
Mosaic nuclei are not easy. She has failed dozens of times, although she has been cheering herself up in her heart. But whoever keeps repeating an action always fails to do so. I will be disappointed in my heart, this is all money, money!
Yu Yan said while smashing the crystal nucleus: "In fact, mutant creatures are inherently more adaptable to changes in the environment than humans. Especially the kings of living things, they know better than humans the truth of survival of the fittest and respect for the strong. So while they unite, help each other, raise cubs. But for the weak and the losers, they are all to be eliminated by them. ”
"The pride of kings does not recognize the weak!" Yu Yan finally took a deep breath and smashed the position of the crystal nucleus: "When it turned into a corpse, it was already abandoned by them. How can you be angry about a corpse? ”
Xiao Qi shouted, "Impossible? You're not a mutant beast, how do you know so clearly? ”
Because this is the setting of the original text, the foundation of this world. Yu Yan vomited in her heart, but said on her lips: "Because I observe more carefully than you." As he spoke, he picked up the cylinder that had been smashed into the crystal nucleus and looked at it.
"Hmph, I don't believe it, this must be made up by you."
"Ahh Yu Yan shouted, startling Xiao Qi: "What's wrong?" ”
"It worked, I made it!" Yu Yanxi is colorful.
"Ahh You really succeeded! Xiao Qi also began to shout loudly.
The little tiger was eating meat, and suddenly it almost fell off the meat mountain with two screams, and looked at the two people who were holding cylindrical bones, both of them looked stupid as if they had never seen the world, shook their little heads, and continued to eat meat.
As soon as Li Hua and Xin Rao walked into the courtyard, they were almost deaf to their eardrums that were shocked by their shouting: "What is successful, what are you called?" ”
"Equipment, my equipment!" Yu Yan proudly showed her finished product to the newcomers.
Li Hua took it over and looked at it: "It's really successful, not bad!" ”
"Hey, hey." Yu Yan was also very happy.
Xin Rao glanced at it and said disdainfully: "Hmph, such ugly equipment." What are you happy about? ”
"Is it ugly? I think it's okay, it's not ugly! Yu Yan looked left and right, crystal white and smooth, although it was a little rough, but it was still very good-looking, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it: "This is the first time I have made equipment, ha, I didn't expect it to be successful the first time." ”
"For the first time?" Xin Rao kicked the pile of failures at her feet: "Then what is this pile of hills under your feet?" ”。
"Well, I mean the first time. Although the process is very bumpy, as long as the result is good, it will be. ”
"Well, now that the base is trapped, it's a good thing that Xiaoyan has new equipment." Li Hua said.
A few days ago, a hundred beasts attacked the city, and finally the human race had a small victory, and the mutant beasts retreated into the forest, but did not leave, but surrounded there, but anyone who went out of the city, they would definitely encounter their attacks, and the casualties were heavy.
The army also sent troops to surround and kill, but there were too many mutant beasts, and there was no city wall to rely on, so it had little effect. Instead, quite a few people died.
Li Hua saw Xiao Qi holding the big apple and gnawing happily, and slapped him on the head: "You still have the leisure to eat apples." In a short time, we may not even be able to afford to eat. ”
During this time, there was a gloomy cloud in the base. They were trapped by the mutants. There are so many people in the base, there are no supplies. Over time, food is a big problem.
Yu Yan was also a little worried about the current situation, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the little tiger lying on the flame lion eating a lot, so she ripped it off and put the flame lion into the space: "Don't eat any more, keep it for the next meal, you snack goods, obviously you're full." If you don't keep your mouth shut, you will have to run out of food sooner or later. ”
"Woohoo, whoa." The flame lion was taken away, and the little tiger shouted at her dissatisfied, bad master, why don't you let it eat.
The little lion looked up and saw that the little tiger was bullied by Yu Yan, and he was also dissatisfied, and shouted at Yu Yan even more fiercely: "Ahhhhhhhhhhh Ahh ”
"What's it called? No dinner again. Yu Yan said fiercely.
The little tiger was honest immediately, but the little lion was not afraid, and barked even more fiercely.
Xin Rao glanced at Yu Yan: "You're still afraid of it eating, just the food in your space." And the food in your restaurant? Still afraid of running out of food? ”
"What if the base is trapped for months?"
"How can you be trapped for months? The big guys can always figure it out. ”
Yu Yan shook her head: "Do I always collect so much food for what I do?" There is a good saying, people have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries. ”
Xiao Qi smiled: "You just said that the Flame Lion is the overlord of beasts. It's more adaptable to the end times, I think. You're much more comfortable than they are. ”
Yu Yan smiled unceremoniously: "Pass the prize." ”
Xin Rao immediately dismantled the stage and said: "Cut, what adapts to the environment." She is obviously greedy, afraid of not having enough to eat, a typical small citizen thought. ”
Yu Yan rolled her eyes: "The people take food as the sky, and gluttony is a talent given by God, hmph, when you really run out of food, don't come to me." ”
"If we don't look for you, we'll just go eat."
"Take the money."
"No money!"
Time passed, seven days passed in a blink of an eye, but the battle situation was still stalemate.
Two days ago, the base sent a team of elites out of the city in a special armored vehicle to clear the city, but it turned out to be useless at all. According to rumors from the soldiers who had fled, the mutants had learned tactics. Offensive and defensive, and most importantly, don't die.
Sister, this world is really getting crazier and crazier.
Yu Yan had stood on the city wall many times to observe, and found that the energy group fluctuations there were very strong. It's not something that can be dealt with by waiting.
The base has assigned a cleaning mission, but everyone is not a fool, no matter how much money there is, there are not many people who take the initiative to be cannon fodder now.
Finally, the base issued a policy, and under the catastrophe, all the members of the base must be under unified command and forcibly recruit the aliens out of the city.
Fortunately, cannon fodder always starts from the grassroots level first, Jin Lingtian's hidden dragon itself has developed a lot, plus his business in the past few months, he has really established a firm foothold in Tianmo, and has not been wheeled for the time being.
Large-scale clean-up operations were held twice, with little success, because after killing a group of mutant beasts, another group of mutant beasts always arrived, and the last thing in the forest was mutant plants and mutant beasts.
Unless that manipulator is killed, the base is of no use other than more dead.
The leadership of the base held daily meetings to discuss countermeasures, but did not leave the city again for a while.
It's just that the time of being trapped is getting longer and longer, and those who are used to hovering on the brink of death don't all have the habit of saving food, and food is starting to become scarce.
Yu Yan's restaurant has been doing very well in the past few days, even if she has adjusted the price again and again, there are still a large number of people buying it every day.
However, after a long time, high-level abilities are naturally easy to say, there is no shortage of crystal nuclei, and there is naturally no shortage of food. But those low-level abilities and even ordinary people can't do it.
The strength of low-level abilities is limited, and the crystal nuclei that can be obtained are also limited, and the level of crystal nuclei is even more limited. I have to buy equipment and potions, and I have to practice. Eat, drink, live and travel in the base, which doesn't cost money, and you can't save much money after the worst. At this time, even their lives are tense. Not to mention ordinary people.
Because she opened a restaurant, Yu Yan saved a lot of food, and she almost received hand cramps in the past few days. But because of the hidden dragon, she can't sell all the food. As early as the third day, limited supplies began.
Yu Yan checked the crystal nucleus in her hand and walked out under the compliment of the store manager. At this time, the people in the hotel were very glad to have found such a job.
Most of the employees in the store were recruited by Yu Yan in the mission center, including low-level abilities and ordinary people. At a time when even the paranormal are not having a good time, they can still afford to eat. Those ordinary people are like they have won the jackpot.
Now the clerks in the store, including the store manager, are all doing their best for fear of losing this good job.
As soon as she walked to the door of the store, she heard a noisy sound at the door, and Yu Yan suddenly saw several people around the door, as if they were arguing about something.
She didn't care, there are always people who want to take advantage of it recently, these things are solved by the security guards in the store, with the name of Qianlong, and now there is no task, the members of Qianlong's team have been arranged by Li Hua into the store to take turns as security guards, and they are not afraid of someone making trouble.
can't go out on a mission, the store is delicious and delicious, and the members of the hidden dragon team are even more eager to come here, almost all of them rush to come.
As soon as he walked to the door, a woman's voice suddenly came.
"It's you, aren't you the woman next to Brother Jin? Why are you here? ”
Brother Kim? Jin Lingtian? Acquaintance? Yu Yan stood on her feet and looked at the people, she didn't know them. Then I saw a woman, looked closely, a little familiar, but, forgive her bad memory, she couldn't remember it a little. (To be continued......)
