Chapter Twenty-Seven: Can't You Say a Soft Word?
He looked at the page of the X injection formula with cherishment, read it carefully several times, and when he remembered the contents of the formula, he carefully put it into his small purse.
Now, with the X injection that can cure 65% of human diseases, at least there is no need to worry about getting injured or getting sick halfway.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved.
He saw that there was still a reward on the virtual interface that he had not claimed.
"White coat, how far is it from District 12 now?"
"If the road is smooth, there should be an hour, this is a mountain road, not very easy to walk."
Li Xiaozhi nodded, thinking that since there was still an hour left, let's continue to open the second reward and see what I can get.
"Turn on the rewards!" As he silently recited this sentence in his heart, he saw a faint light flicker on the virtual interface.
Li Xiaozhi's heartbeat slowly accelerated, he remembered that whenever the lottery had this kind of special effect, it should be the time to open a more powerful jackpot!
"What?" He couldn't help but feel a little excited.
A little time passed, and the glowing mist slowly dissipated.
And Li Xiaozhi couldn't wait to look at the things behind the group, and even his breathing was forcibly held back by him.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting a Cultivation Co-branded Card! The system prompted.
Li Xiaozhi was stunned on the spot.
“…… What is a Practitioner Co-branded Card? He asked, surprised.
I saw a translucent card floating on the virtual interface, and there seemed to be nothing on the card.
The system began to explain mechanically: "The cultivation co-branded card is to select the co-branded object by copying skills, once the binding is successful, the opponent's cultivation results will be paid to the host at one time 70% of the strength when the co-branded card is dissolved, and the host will get three use rights, after the use of the right is over, it will be paid at one time to the ability with the same rating as the host's strength, and stacked with the host's other abilities!" ”
"I'll go, is it so complicated? If you don't explain the system clearly, I'm afraid readers won't understand! Li Xiaozhi said in surprise.
At this moment, the small card as delicate as jade slowly fell into his hand.
Li Xiaozhi squinted at Bai Qingming's state next to him, and didn't seem to notice this thing.
Li Xiaozhi was relieved and put it into his small purse.
According to the system's explanation, this thing can gain 70% of the opponent's strength, and it can be used three times.
"It should be used on a more powerful ability, otherwise it won't be cost-effective." He thought to himself.
"The system recommends that the host choose a co-branded object with a strength rating above silver, so as to maximize the role of the co-branded card." The system said.
Li Xiaozhizhi squinted his eyes and nodded, "Silver-level powerhouses should be very powerful, right?" ”
After all, he himself is only at the Black Iron level now, and the Silver Level should be two levels higher than him.
It's just that when he thought of this, another thought suddenly popped up in his heart.
However, as soon as this idea was generated, it was rejected by the system.
"The host can't copy more than two of his own levels, and if you forcibly copy it, it is likely that it will collapse on its own because the body can't support it, so the system recommends that the host still choose at the silver level, and don't find a stronger opponent before your strength is improved!"
Li Xiaozhi understands now, but it is not difficult for him to imagine, after all, the copying ability is not difficult, but he has to pretend to be able to do it himself!
"Alright then, I'll pay attention to finding silver-level abilities in the future, and I won't risk copying too many levels beyond it, okay?" Li Xiaozhi said.
The system is not responding either.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, the thirty-kilometer journey was almost complete.
Bai Qingming stopped the car, let out a long breath, and then spoke with a little hope: "Hey! I mean, how long are you two going to sleep? ”
"What's ......" Li Xiaozhi's eyes narrowed a slit, and he looked out from the gap, only to see a pile of boulders blocking the way.
"Collapsed?"
Liu Yanran also woke up from her sleep, looking at the boulder pile that had completely submerged the road, as if she had an unrealistic feeling.
Bai Qingming rolled open the car window, pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and the blue-white smoke filled the car window.
Li Xiaozhi got out of the car, walked to the boulder pile, and looked at the top.
There were bunches of traces there, and a frown.
"Isn't that a mark that can only be made by an excavator?" He pointed to it.
Bai Qingming waved his hand vigorously to drive away the smoke in front of him, and after seeing the place Li Xiaozhi pointed to, he nodded and said, "It was indeed the excavator who did it, are they preparing to cut off their own way?" ”
"No, it's to stop the corpses!" Liu Yanran said.
"Why? What about blocking a road? Where can't you go through this mountainous area? Li Xiaozhi frowned and asked.
However, Liu Yanran seemed to know that he was going to say this, and then got out of the car and explained: "You may not have noticed that although those corpse mutants are no longer human, they seem to only like to take this kind of spacious and flat road, probably because their bones are too stiff after the corpse transformation, and it is easy to fall down when walking on the mountain, but the road will not!" ”
"I see! But even if the zombies are stopped, aren't people trapped inside and unable to get out? Bai Qingming said in surprise.
Liu Yanran glanced at him, and then spoke: "Do you think that now that the world is so chaotic, will anyone still be willing to come out?" ”
"Uh-uh......" Bai Qingming fell into deep thought.
Li Xiaozhi walked up to Bai Qingming, stretched out his hand and asked him for a cigarette, then patted the car door and said, "Okay, since it's almost here, let's not stay here, hurry up!" ”
Liu Yanran and Bai Qingming did not refuse, and the three of them started from scratch and moved forward on foot.
Fortunately, the remaining distance is only four or five kilometers, and it shouldn't take long to walk quickly.
And just like that, they climbed over the boulder, and then they saw the besieged city that was beginning to take shape at the end of their eyes!
"It's so small!" Bai Qingming muttered to himself.
"It's far away now, and you don't feel small when you get closer." Liu Yanran said.
"How many people are in there?"
"I don't know, if all of you...... We should have more than a million people when we came out, but no more than 300,000 people could enter the city. Liu Yanran answered Li Xiaozhi's question.
The three of them walked through the fields, which were almost destroyed.
Li Xiaozhi guessed that it was likely that because of the famine, the fleeing people must not have brought much food, and once they ran out of food, they could only eat other ......
Like unripe crops, or even dirt!
This is the end times!
"Alas! If only everything could go back to the way it was! Bai Qingming looked at the city that was still unclear, exclamation mark.
In his heart, the so-called freedom and equality are gradually coming to naught, and what should he, a powerless mortal, do?
Compared with Li Xiaozhi and them, his state of mind is the most complex and fragile.
Li Xiaozhi also seemed to have noticed Bai Qingming's faint loss, he stepped forward and patted him on the back, saying, "Don't be stupid, let's go quickly!" ”
……
In the evening, the sun could still reach the foothills to the east, and to the west, with its back to it, it was completely dark.
In the distant valley there was the roar of wild beasts.
Li Xiaozhi and the others hurried away, not bothering to analyze whether the cry was a scream from being gnawed by a strange beast, or a wail out of fear.
The city in front of them was already clearly visible.
What was once a place where thousands of farms were cultivated has been covered with countless tents.
It's a tent, but it's more of a makeshift shack.
Li Xiaozhi and the others looked at tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of shacks emitting dense green smoke, and the hardships of the trek seemed to have dissipated a lot.
"I haven't seen so many people in days!" Li Xiaozhi couldn't help but sigh.
They threw away their crutches and walked slowly into the middle of the shack.
Li Xiaozhi noticed that those who lived in the shacks were busy surviving.
What is cooking in their boiler? He didn't know.
Maybe it's a rice seedling pulled back from the field, or maybe it's just a weed.
He also saw some people picking up hoes and digging outside their huts.
This made him suddenly feel a little relieved.
And the scene in the next second made his glimmer of relief disappear.
"They're not planting vegetables, they're burying corpses?" Bai Qingming looked at it from a distance and couldn't help but get nervous.
"Won't it be a corpse?" What he feared was the corpses of the dead.
Li Xiaozhi shook his head, he saw it, the corpse was already headless.
……
The three of them gradually fell silent, and the passion that had been fueled by the sight of people was gone.
The sun's rays swept over the eastern hilltops and returned to the sky.
The earth became darker.
"Shall we also build a shack? I don't think there's a place to live tonight. ”
Li Xiaozhi looked at Bai Qingming in surprise, he was surprised that the other party did not question why the city did not let the refugees in, but began to study the matter of the shack.
"I have to say you've grown up, big nephew!" Li Xiaozhi grinned.
Bai Qingming was confused.
The two of them tacitly began to look for everything that could be used, and Bai Qingming deliberately ran to Liu Yanran to remind her that she didn't need to come over to help, just help choose a suitable location.
And Liu Yanran was surprised at first, and then plucked up the courage to say: "Why don't you go to my house with me!" ”
"If you want to go back, I won't stop you, but I have to stay here with the white coat." Li Xiaozhi did not stop his work.
Although Bai Qingming hesitated for a moment, he seemed to think of the drama of some wealthy families fighting mandarin ducks, and then continued to work gloomily.
Liu Yanran looked at the two companions who were still smiling with her just now, and suddenly seemed to have changed, which made her a little stunned.
"So we've never been all the way, aren't we? Li Xiaozhi, why are you so stubborn, is it difficult to say soft words to my father? She suddenly zoomed in, drawing the attention of the other shantytownspeople.
"You say!"
Li Xiaozhi didn't react, but Bai Qingming.
He seemed to see something in Liu Yanran's eyes, and only then did he understand that the other party just wanted Li Xiaozhi to pass, and he was just a convenient thing here.
This made him, a young man who was just beginning to fall in love, a little awkward, so he simply quickened the speed in his hand, eager to build a magnificent city immediately.
