Five years have passed since the Celestial Beast Plague in 2246, and the human tortoise has shrunk into the twelve spatial nodes used as logistics bases: Frost Cold, Fog Rain, Spring Sting, Bright Rain, Rongxia, Mangxia, Yan Rain, Autumn Place, Autumn Dew, Frost Fall, Frost Rain, and Frost and Snow, and the nodes are named to correspond to the original twelve months.

These nodes are large and small and are used to sustain human existence. Of course, not all survivors are able to enter the spatial node, so there are still a considerable number of people who struggle to survive in the post-apocalyptic environment, and finally slowly move towards destruction.

"The nightmare is a thing of the past, and what awaits us will be a better tomorrow......" Resa looked at the aquamarine card in her hand, shook her head noncommittally, and with the movement of her fingers, the briefing on the aquamarine was closed, and the surroundings fell silent again.

Are the nightmares really a thing of the past? Who can say this? Look at the aquamarine card in your hand. Ressa couldn't help but sigh.

It's been five years since the last cataclysm, and Ressa has become one of the explorers of human resources, because the safest places are only these space nodes, and the space hopping device needs energy to sustain it, and on this earth, which has long been different, some strange crystals or crystal nuclei of celestial beasts have become the best energy supply.

Every day, a large number of explorers travel between the node and the outside world through the reflexing device, and of course, a large number of explorers die every day under various attacks. As for the resources obtained, the Explorers can exchange them with the Explorer Alliance for the necessities of life or... Extremely scarce drugs.

Ressa received the aquamarine card into the hidden pocket on his chest, which is a high-tech product issued by the Explorer Alliance, divided into five colors, from low to high, white, green, blue, purple, gold, the effect of white can only be used to store contribution data and contact, as for the highest level of gold, it is said that the space folding technology is added to it, which can allow the holder to carry out spatial displacement at a short distance, and even store certain items.

Of course, everything in the world is not absolute, it is said that there is an extremely rare crystal card on top of the golden crystal card, and it is not right, it is a crystal card that is also a little unimaged, it is a dark golden crystal, which is the crystallization of all human technology, but there are only 12 pieces, as for its efficacy, no one knows, but knows, this mysterious dark gold crystal is in the hands of the controller of the twelve nodes.

Ressa touched her chest, there was also a hedron necklace that exuded a faint warmth, one of the items his father had left him, and now it had become his talisman. Every time you go out to explore and encounter danger, this hedron necklace will reveal a hint of coolness as a warning.

It seems that my father is also a powerful explorer. Resa thinks this whenever she touches the necklace.

At least, the luster and texture of this spar are more like the crystal nucleus of a celestial beast.

Gently pushing the door open, Resa stood still outside Debecca's room for a moment, he could faintly hear the sound of breathing coming from inside the room, it seemed that the girl had not woken up yet, Resa shook her head, and walked out of the house lightly.

The glow of the early morning has not yet risen, but the streets are still extremely lively, no way, after this apocalypse, the economic framework of the world has become a bubble, and the real wealth is no longer knowledge and money, but the strange crystal ore and the crystal nucleus of the heavenly beast that the explorers have been exploring.

Turning over these resources to the Explorer Alliance in exchange for contributions and rewards is a way to do this, and if you have enough strength, it is also a good choice to exchange scarce luxury goods with some big families, which occupies the current dominance. Sure enough, humans are a species that is happy to be at ease.

And Resa was used to this kind of sight, and just walked quietly towards the glorious tall building at the end of the street.

What he needs most now is the supplies and medicines provided by the Explorer Alliance, in the Heavenly Beast Tide 5 years ago, he and Debecca have been affected to a certain extent, although they are not sure what the symptoms are, but if there is no drug suppression, they will have an attack within a certain period of time.

The pain of a knife cut was like a boning, and as for Divica's condition, which was slightly different, if she had not ingested a special element, she would fall into a deep sleep, which made Resa even more mad.

He still remembers that two years ago, he went out to explore for a long time, and when he came back, Debecca had fallen into a deep sleep, faint blood flowing from the corners of her mouth, and the breath of life was very weak.

In the end, a panicked Resa ran almost the entire node, spending all the Exploration Points she had saved to wake Debecca from her slumber.

It was also that time, after waking up, Debecca's coldness towards him retreated a lot.

The situation was always like a sword hanging over Ressa's head, and he was a little out of breath.

Genetic research has always been the main research direction of human beings, and he doesn't want to let himself and his sister become experimental subjects who dedicate themselves to human genetic research for some special reasons.

……………………

Walking into the hall, a series of obscure eyes gathered, most of the owners of the eyes were the golden fingers who were active in the market, and a few were explorers who had been frightened by the wilderness.

They gather here, and their tricky eyes allow them to discover a lot of interesting things, and by the way, they can make some profits, and selling the explorer's exchange information to other forces is their main source of income, and of course, if the target is a soft persimmon, they don't mind doing it themselves. After all, the most trustworthy person is yourself.

Resa ignored the vague gaze, and just tightened the hood on her head, covering most of her face. He didn't want to get into unnecessary trouble.

Walking straight to the reception area of the hall, his throat slid slightly, and a hoarse voice came from under the hood: "Exchange for two purple snake fruits." With that, he handed the aquamarine card over.

And the obscure eyes around lit up, this purple snake fruit is actually a high-grade apple cultivated by the snake fruit using some special techniques, but in this last days, these are luxury goods that only big forces will come into contact with.

Even an explorer with an Amethyst card wouldn't have the luxury of exchanging exploration points for these things. In this post-apocalyptic environment, satisfying the appetite with a large amount of cherished exploration value is despised by every explorer who licks the blood with a knife.

As for the exploration value, it is a digital currency issued by the Explorer Alliance according to the materials or resources handed over by the explorers, and it is also the only currency that exists in this apocalypse.

The reception area of the Explorer Alliance is all young and beautiful women without exception, and according to the division before the great changes of the earth, the beauties of various countries and regions are included.

These young women are not the receptionists hired by the Explorers Alliance, they are trained by the Explorers, and if you can afford it, you can choose these women.

You don't have to worry about loyalty, these women are professionally trained to absolutely obey their masters, and they even have smart chips implanted by the Explorer Alliance in their brains that can influence their thinking.

As long as the owner is bound, the smart chip will make it completely subordinate to the holder of the chip under the imperceptible circumstances, which will not affect the self-thinking and personality of these girls.

Having said all this, the price of these girls is quite high, and even some explorers with deep pockets will not consider buying a partner who is only loyal to themselves. With a full 10,000 exploration points, as long as they are willing to show it, there will naturally be a large number of girls flocking to him. Therefore, these girls have become a "luxury" that can only be enjoyed by some forces with strong backgrounds.

Ressa was greeted by a wheat-colored girl. A faint smile gives people a feeling like a spring breeze.

She smiled and took the azurite card that Ressa handed her, and the two small dimples that loomed made the girl's smile even more charming. Ressa couldn't help but look at it twice.

The long pink maroon ponytail hangs down to the waist, and the supple luster reveals a delicate feeling. The girl's eyes were beautiful, with a faint pinkish purple in her sky-blue pupils, and her pupils were slightly erect. If you look closely, you can find that there are two small cat ears hidden under the girl's hair, which are actually genetically modified people.

In a hurry, Resa didn't notice the girl's small cat ears. Just silently waiting for the girl to help him complete the exchange.

The girl put the aquamarine card on the spar seat in front of her and swiped it gently, and the dazzling red letters were displayed on the transparent screen in front of Ressa, and the girl looked at Resa apologetically: "I'm sorry, this gentleman, your exploration value is not enough to exchange for two purple snake fruits, is there anything else that can help you?" ”

"That's it!" A hoarse voice sounded: "Then is there a separate reception room, I have some things that I want to exchange with the alliance, and it is inconvenient to take them out here." ”

The girl looked at Ressa's Adam's apple and trembled, inexplicably, her heart also trembled. She remembered an incident that happened about a year ago, when an explorer also came to exchange for items, and when he didn't have enough exploration value, he offered to go to a separate parlor to exchange something, and the girl who received him took him to a separate parlor.

It's just that after entering the separate reception room, he uncharacteristically locked the reception room and raped the girl, although the guardian broke through the door at a very fast speed, but the girl's life was over, and no one would spend a lot of money on a second-hand item.

Some time ago, I heard Sister Sha talk about it, I saw her in the street market of Gray Street a few days ago, but her body was covered with filth, her eyes were blank, and she was staggering unconsciously on the corner of the street with a big belly.

The girl looked up a little frightened, and the sliding Adam's apple in front of her eyes was very dazzling.

With a stiff smile on her face, the girl said apologetically, "I'm sorry, sir, our private meeting room hasn't opened yet, if you're not in a hurry, I'd like to ask you to wait a little longer." ”

Looking at the slightly stiff face of the girl opposite and the ...... hidden under the smile With that hint of fear, Ressa was slightly silent, and soon, he thought of the small incident a year ago, and then smiled bitterly at himself: "Do I look so bad in this outfit?" ”

If there was a mirror in front of him, maybe after he looked in the mirror, he might not have such a doubt.

The man's silence made the girls a little uneasy, and it was their taboo to refuse the reasonable requests of their customers, even if it was an ordinary explorer, they could not afford to provoke.

"So, please help me exchange this for expedition credits!" Ressa shook her head helplessly, and a pale pink spar the size of a pigeon's egg with a strange glow appeared in Ressa's hand.

With the appearance of the spar, there was a sudden silence in the hall, and those who were huddled in the corner of the hall, whether they were playing cards or wiping their guns, the movements in their hands were all sudden, if it weren't for the Explorer Alliance Hall not being able to do it, I am afraid that someone would have already handed the knife to Ressa.

"What is this?" The girl was slightly stunned, and with the appearance of this hedron, those thoughts in her mind had disappeared.

After professional training, she can naturally recognize that this is a valuable piece of heavenly beast crystal nucleus, but without identification, she still doesn't know whether it is a heavenly beast or an earth beast, but what can exude this luster is at least the crystal nucleus of an earth beast.

"I'm sorry, sir, for causing you unnecessary trouble." The girl is a clear-minded person, and she knows how much unnecessary trouble this will cause to the man in front of her. So I apologized to Resa very earnestly.

"It's okay, please help me exchange it, by the way, this is the crystal nucleus obtained from the body of the second-order earth beast dragon fox." Resa placed the pale pink hedron on the girl's hand, and he could see the girl's nervousness and uneasiness, so he pretended not to care.

Resa's nonchalant attitude reassured the girl a little, but her hand that took the crystal nucleus was still trembling slightly.

Countless faint glances shifted from Ressa's hand to the crystal nucleus in the girl's hand, Chi Guoguo's greed was undisguised, but they didn't dare to make trouble in the hall of the Explorer Alliance, it seemed that they could only wait for this thin guy to go out and make a small profit.

The girl's little hand trembled a little and put the crystal nucleus into the sealed cabinet, the dense and fiery gaze made her a little nervous, until the crystal nucleus was sealed, she breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and then said respectfully: "Explorer, I have kept you waiting, my name is Yan Xin, and it is my honor to serve you." According to the regulations of the Explorer Alliance, the second-order Earth Beast Crystal Core can be exchanged for 2200 exploration points for you, plus the remaining in your crystal card, a total of 2430 exploration points. How else can I help you? ”

"Just two purple snake fruits! Nothing else is needed for the time being. Ressa waved her hand. The girl's fingers pulsed nimbly on the crystal screen, and after a few seconds, a translucent box slowly flew in front of Ressa, and the box opened, containing two crystal clear purple-red snake fruits.

"Sir, after deducting the exploration points of the two Purple Snake Fruits, your crystal card now has 1930 points left." Xuan Xin respectfully handed the crystal card in his hand to Ressa, and now, in Xuan Xin's eyes, Resa has become the kind of explorer with superior strength. After all, Earth Beasts are not something that can be killed easily.

"Okay, thank you." Ressa's blue crystal card swiped lightly on the spar platform in front of him: "These 30 points should be used as your service fee." ”

Xuan Xin is very surprised, it seems that she has good luck today! Carefully took out a pink crystal card (the actual level of the pink crystal card is only equivalent to the green crystal card, the reason why it is pink is that it is easy to distinguish their identity, and it will only become a green crystal card after they are bought.) Gently swiped on the hedron table, and the number on it changed from 618 to 648. Hiding the small excitement in her heart, Xuan Xin asked respectfully: "May good luck always favor you, respected sir, what else can Xuan Xin do to help you?" ”

"So be it! Thank you. Resa waved her hand, the goal was achieved, let's go home as soon as possible! Thinking about it, Ressa waved her hand and headed out of the hall.

Looking at the people in the corner who were about to move, Xuan Xin's heart trembled, and she hurriedly shouted softly: "Dear sir, why don't we let our guardian send you back!" Several figures in the crowd had already stood up, and Xuan Xin felt even worse in her heart, so she couldn't help but speed up her speech.

"No thanks." Ressa waved her hand, and she didn't mean to stop, cute and kind girl, but unfortunately, her fate was .............

Sighing secretly, Resa slowly walked out of the hall, and then, more than a dozen figures also put on their cloaks and followed.
