After returning to the room at the underground water station, Chen Xing lay on the boss's chair, looking at the ceiling, thinking repeatedly about the reason why Aliya invited him to the Black Death Forest.

This matter is very tempting for him. It's not that he wants to pursue Aria, but that if he wants to get the raw materials for the hero potion in the future, he will have to hunt down a large number of town-level creatures. If he had the chance, he would also like to familiarize himself with the situation over there beforehand.

Moreover, since Alia brought it up, she must have relevant experience. Follow her, and the safety factor will be much higher.

But with her strength, why should she take him?

Have a crush on him?

It's good to think about this kind of thought, even if it's the current Aria, it's impossible to look down on him.

So, think in terms of interests.

Robbing him of his belongings?

It seems unlikely, that his money was either put in the camp or thrown on potions, and he was so poor that he clanged. And the most valuable piece of equipment on his body is the luxurious version of the silver star that the mayor gave him. It's worth a little money, but it's not enough to tear Aaliyah's skin apart. From the last incident of killing Wang Bo, it can be seen that she does not want to clash with the mayor.

He is the captain of the third squad of the Orchid Town garrison, and if he dies for some reason, Alia will definitely have to explain to the mayor, so it is unlikely that he will be murdered.

Thinking of this, he made a decision: go!

But before he goes, he must have a showdown with Alia and let the other party show his true combat power, otherwise he will not take risks.

However, it is still a long time, and there are still three months before winter, so there is no need to rush to reply.

After thinking about the problem, Chen Xing left the room, took the elevator in the rest area, returned to the ground, and walked around the stronghold.

Today, the façade is fully completed. It is about three meters high and is made of granite and concrete. Although it is not very strong, it is thick and heavy enough, more than a meter wide, and ordinary wild creatures cannot destroy it.

Defensively, he had selected some young people in the slums under his jurisdiction to form militia patrols to patrol the outer walls. The person in charge is a homeless man named "Alain", with a wooden personality, who doesn't talk much, but he is calm and good at close combat, and has participated in the battle of termites.

"Good afternoon, Captain." When passing by the sentry post, Alan saluted Chen Xing and greeted.

"Watch out for stray ghouls, don't let them sneak in." Chen Xing casually admonished.

"Yes." Alain straightened his body and answered. A light gray tarpaulin military uniform, with a decent appearance.

Chen Xing nodded and continued to walk along the bottom of the city wall. The area was all open space, and in the stronghold, under the city walls was a circumferential road, then a slum with no buildings, only a water supply system and a simple open drainage system for the displaced people to set up tents to live in.

The closer you get to the middle fortress, the more buildings there are. However, most of them are sheds, and only the arsenal and fuel depot are made of reinforced concrete. In the future, a small commercial street will be planned to set up clinics, pharmacies, weapons shops, bars, etc., as well as places for vendors to set up stalls.

"The water supply system is 35 percent complete, the drainage system is 50 percent complete, and in another month and a half, it will be all completed." Near the construction site, an engineer wearing a red hard hat reported to Chen Xing.

After inspecting the completion site, Chen Xing went to the planting area outside the stronghold. Thanks to the heavy rains some time ago, the red berries are growing very well. As far as the eye can see, it is green.

In more than ten days, the red berry tree will enter the middle of its youth and become restless, Radish said. You can't stay in the same place for a long time, you need to graze.

Chen Xing assigned him two garrisons as guards, and five or six homeless people as helpers.

Radish was overjoyed when she heard this, and then rubbed her hands together and asked, "Boss, can you, can you match two women?" ”

"I can get Aaron to come with you." Chen Xing said with a cold face.

The previous scene appeared in front of him, Radish squirmed his lips, his face was pale, he seemed to be frightened, shook his head and waved his hand, and said in a panic, "No, thank you, boss, I really don't need to ......"

Leaving the planting area and returning to the stronghold, Chen Xing went to the canteen to have dinner, and then exercised in the training room for a while.

In addition to him, there are several other members of the team here. One worked on his arm strength on a multi-functional combination equipment, one on a chair and jerked a barbell, and two in a wooden plank in the ring.

The mutated creatures in the wasteland are either rough and thick-skinned, or agile and fast, and even with guns, melee combat is inevitable. Exercising physical functions is a compulsory course for every fighter.

Sweating, Chen Xing returned to his room, took a shower and changed clothes, and then lay quietly on the bed.

In a few moments, his consciousness entered a blue ocean.

Looking at it, the sea and sky are boundless.

On the sea, it is peaceful and quiet, and the waves are not alarmed. A little starlight, floating from the sea, flickering and darkening, like fireflies

This is the spiritual sea of the Spiritual Awakeners, one of the manifestations of spiritual energy in the spiritual realm, and some people can see lava mountains, emerald gardens, or starry universes.

After communicating with Yeyang Bailiu during this time, Chen Xing learned that people who saw the spiritual sea would usually have more spiritual energy. When you see the lava mountains, you will have a stronger explosive power, and when you see the emerald garden, you will be more pure and solid, and as for the starry sky universe, it is all-encompassing and has all the advantages.

Generally speaking, those who see the spiritual sea are the weakest. The reason is simple, the "quantity" can be replenished by the medicine, but the strength cannot.

Chen Xing asked a lot of questions, but he was hit. What Ye Yang Bailiu saw was the starry sky universe, one of the symbols of the future powerhouse. But then again, he's a guy who took nine potions and almost died before awakening, and he's not bad enough to pray for too much.

In the sky of the sea, there were three quaint runes suspended, one with golden light, one bronze, exuding a dull red light, and one ice blue, with a blue glow throughout.

The first is the rune for "Trio", the second is for "Danger Perception", and the third is for "Charged Shot". Every time you master a new ability, a rune representing that ability will appear in the spiritual sea.

Chen Xing's attention is focused on the sea, calm, constantly feeling and thinking......

I don't know how long later, there were suddenly waves on the sea, and there seemed to be an undercurrent surging below, and bursts of thunder lingered in my ears. After a long time, only a "bang" was heard, and a new rune surfaced on the sea, and the whole body was surrounded by thunder and light, and it was extraordinary.

This is the skill "Charge Shock" that he has been learning recently, which can convert psionic energy into electrical energy and release it instantly.

It didn't take long for him to open his eyes. Slowly mobilize the psionic energy, then raise your right hand and point forward.

In an instant, an arc of electricity burst out from between his fingers, slashed across the ceiling, and smashed the light pipe with a "snap".

Also known as "Electricity Between the Fingers", this ability uses one standard unit, or more psionic energy, to inflict a charge blast. The advantage is that the shot is fast and does not need to be attached to the physical object to play a role, and the disadvantage is that the power is limited, so it is better to shoot.

Chen Xingxue learned this, mainly for self-defense. When you run out of ammo, or when you don't have a weapon on your shoulders, you can delay and counterattack.
