By the time Chen Xin remembered to look for food, the clock had already jumped to 1 p.m.

"The general operation process is to figure it out, but there are still many details that need to be observed." A morning and noon research made Chen Xin feel full of gains, these expensive experimental instruments were like big toys to him, and he slowly began to get started after tinkering for a while, and he also had more confidence in being able to harvest more "evolution elixirs".

"Hopefully nothing will go wrong. Then, all the arrangements will have to be readjusted. ”

Chen Xin originally planned to take a high-level "evolution potion" and go to the hilly region in the southwest, because there was a military base numbered 01 there, and it had been slowly absorbing survivors from all over the world.

This base has survived until the end of "The Wasteland Survival Manual", and the jurisdiction and population are constantly expanding, and in the later part of the novel, in the era of "monsters are all over the ground, and the master is not as good as the dog", the reliance on being able to expand the territory all the time is certainly not the hot weapon of the old times.

I heard that Base 01 was the military headquarters of the First Army of China in the past, and as the plot of "Wasteland Survival Manual" unfolded, there were many conflicts, all of which described some of the Awakened troops of Base 01.

The Awakened Army of the 01 base was only formed at the beginning of the novel, many of them were gifted civilians, although there was no top-level combat power in the end, but until the end, the original formers did not die a few, the survival rate was very high, and the combat power was good.

Survival has always been Chen Xin's first goal, so the 01 base with a particularly high degree of survival has become Chen Xin's original first choice, after all, in the troubled times, he must be hoping to "transfer" to the "Quanzhen Seven Sons" who will live a long life, rather than becoming the "Seven Monsters of Jiangnan" who "died and died in chaos".

Another reason is that judging from the description of the novel, whether it is ideology or ideological state, the 01 base still retains a "innocence" of the old era.

This "innocence" has always attracted many powerful awakened people to fight for the 01 base, maybe for some strong people, living in the 01 base will be less freewheeling, but for Chen Xin, who has just crossed into this world, it is more important to have an orderly and stable rear base.

Of course, with the discovery of 10 "evolution elixirs", Chen Xin's original plan had to be reformulated.

If you can't rush to Base 01 at the first time and participate in the formation of the first batch of Evolutionary Squads, the trust you receive and the influence on Base 01 in the future will definitely not be as expected.

And if you can get your hands on the high-level evolution elixir, you can directly become a strongman above the 5th order; Or even if all the raw materials are used to make low-level evolution elixirs, according to the normal situation that you need 1 bottle of "evolution potion" to advance to the 1st level awakener, 2 bottles to promote to the 2nd rank, and 4 bottles to promote the 3rd order, you can steadily promote to the 3rd rank or above.

And no matter how bad the ability of the 3rd order evolved human warrior is, they are already strongmen who can survive independently in the wild.

Chen Xin, who has the consciousness of crossing the masses, after having the primitive accumulation of more than a dozen bottles of evolution elixir, the initial fear in his heart has been quickly replaced by a small ambition that he is not aware of.

After "arming" himself with various body armor and ceramic pieces found in the security room, Chen Xin was ready to leave this research and development base.

"The self-made long weapon can't be given up, the movement caused by the thermal weapon is too big, and it won't end well if you provoke a few evolved zombies. Ammunition is also limited, so it can be used or not. ”

Chen Xinxin, who was walking as he spoke, opened the hydraulic door of the base.

The sun at 1 o'clock in the afternoon was still very dazzling, Chen Xin subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes, and suddenly saw blood marks on the ground from the corner of his eye.

The blood marks at the alloy door were almost dry, but Chen Xin still swallowed his saliva.

"Careless! Yesterday, there was an evolved zombie following behind! Chen Xin roughly checked the footprints and the zombie corpse at the end of the corridor, "This zombie was actually disemboweled, and its internal organs were all eaten empty, how hungry is this?!" Thankfully, I've been in there long enough. ”

By the time he descended the stairs, Chen Xin had gone from a teenager full of confidence before opening the door, walking with his head held high, holding a spear in his hand, and full of fantasies about the future, to a lewd young man who always put his finger on the trigger of an automatic rifle, walked and bent over, and tiptoed.

A few cars that were obviously scrapped were parked downstairs in the unfinished building, and the windows of several cars were broken into pieces, and there were vaguely some bloody scabs that were about to turn black and brown.

You can't count on a vehicle when you go out, you can only walk.

It's been more than a year since the outbreak of the virus, and the surrounding food should have been looted by the survivors.

Of course, there may still be a lot of non-rotting living materials in the buildings in the urban area, but any survivor knows that the proportion of living materials retained must be directly proportional to the density of zombies.

Chen Xin is going to walk along the road along the river not far away, there is a large Jiangxin Island in the northeast, because of the special location, after the outbreak of the virus, it has slowly formed a survivor settlement, not far from here, more than enough to walk back and forth in an afternoon.

If you can find other food on the road, Chen Xin is also very desperate.

Chen Xin, who was walking along the road, found a lot of wandering zombies, groups of three or five, basically without intact limbs, some missing an arm, and some zombies' legs were unnaturally bent.

And the mutated animals, probably all of them were squeezed into the living space by the zombies, or lacked food, in short, after walking for almost half an hour, except for a few mutated birds and mice, Chen Xin didn't see anything.

Every time he saw a zombie in the distance, Chen Xin hid in the culvert by the river early, and after confirming that he was far away, Chen Xin carefully continued to hurry.

When he hid in the culvert for the fifth time, Chen Xin was a little excited, and he actually saw traces of human activity - a lump of human excrement that was not in shape, plus a few pieces of toilet paper! Although it was not hot and fresh, it did not become dry and hard, because Chen Xin accidentally stepped on it as soon as he came in, and it was soft and sticky to the side of his shoes everywhere, and it was obviously expelled for a few hours at most.

"It's been more than a day since I came to this world, and I haven't met a living person yet." Chen Xin didn't care about the feces on his shoes, but he was a little nervous and a little excited.

"It seems that the range of activities from the settlement is relatively close, and I don't know what the owner of this is like, will it be a beauty?" Chen Xin didn't know why a blonde woman in a red dress and high heels squatted in the culvert to relieve her hands, and suddenly there was a chill.

"It's better to be careful, after all, the virus has been breaking out for a year, and who knows what people think now. Don't be knocked down by zombies at that time, but be overturned! Chen Xin clenched the spear in his hand tightly.

Chen Xin climbed back to the road, watched the fifth group of zombies walk away slowly, felt a little uncomfortable hungry, stood up straight and looked around, and found that there was a big supermarket not far from the road diagonally.

Chen Xin knows that the suburbs are not as good as the urban areas, and the big supermarkets all have regional planning, and if there is a large supermarket in a neighborhood, it is difficult for another one to appear.

Seeing that the sun was still in the sky, Chen Xin also felt a little uncomfortable from the sun, so he made up his mind to go to the supermarket to have a look first.

There are still a lot of small cars parked on the road, and occasionally a few are still clinging to the guardrail of the road, the guardrail is not particularly high, Chen Xin raised his feet and stepped over.

Walking to the door, a lot of carts are piled up at the door of the supermarket, the signboard bigger than the person has been crooked, Chen Xin walked in the door and looked carefully for a long time, for fear of falling down and hitting himself.

The automatic door was not closed, it was clearly broken, and there were several corpses in the door that were about to decompose, barely recognizable whether they were male or female, and each one had only some flesh foam left on the bones.

Chen Xin has been thinking that if he hadn't been engaged in biological experiments and was used to seeing these corpses and bones, maybe his spirit would be on the verge of collapse now.

In addition to the natural light near the cash register, the shelves inside the supermarket are all pitch black.

Chen Xin was stunned for a moment before he thought about it, this kind of supermarket is fully enclosed, and there is no power lamp, so he must not be able to see anything clearly. Seeing that he couldn't see anything clearly, Chen Xin was already a little reluctant in his heart, "Anyway, I still have bullets in my hand to go to the settlement to change food, or don't take the risk..."

Just as he was about to retreat, Chen Xin suddenly heard a sound of "bang" coming from the dark place on the left side of the inside.

Then I saw a group of zombies chasing a person and rushing towards the right.

If there are only three or four zombies, Chen Xin will probably be ready to do it, talk a little about strategy, with the long weapons in his hands, it is still very easy to knock them over without damage, but at a glance, he saw that the zombies chasing behind him were densely packed, at least forty or fifty, and they were all zombies who were rotten and not serious and had the ability to act.

In an instant, Chen Xin's face changed, and he even threw the spear in his hand, and ran towards the automatic door behind him.

I don't know if I saw that there was a target running faster, or if I saw the 95 rifle that Chen Xin was carrying, the person who was being chased didn't continue to run to the right side, he turned around, ran out with Chen Xin, and shouted at Chen Xin from a distance, "Big brother, take a hand!" ”

Chen Xin looked back at the situation and knew that he couldn't run to an open place, if there was no cover in the wild, and there was no way to detour, normal humans would most likely be chased by zombies and run to death. At that time, you can only use a rifle to strafe, but the bullet is hard currency, how much less you hit, and the barrel also has a lifespan, so it is better to cover it without it.

At this time, Chen Xin didn't care if it was a dead end, and saw that the iron safety staircase on the side of the supermarket had nothing to cover, so he went up with an arrow.

Seeing this, the people who followed behind pulled a few carts parked at the entrance of the supermarket, stuck their positions, and ran to the safety stairs. The zombies didn't seem to have a smooth climb of the stairs, and the speed was pulled away all of a sudden, and when the person had already climbed halfway to the fourth floor, the zombies were able to climb to the second floor.

When the person was about to continue to climb up, suddenly Chen Xin burst out from behind the door on the third floor, grabbed the person, and pulled him into the security door on the third floor, followed by the sound of the security door locking from the inside.

The door was very quiet inside, and the lights of the security exit were still useful, and the white-green lights shone on the two people sitting in the small compartment, leaning against the door, and no one dared to pant loudly.

After a while, after confirming that there was no sound of zombies climbing the stairs outside the door, Chen Xin looked at the other party, "Programmer?" ”

The man apparently didn't react, "What? ”

"Plaid shirts, jeans, sneakers, black-rimmed glasses, aren't they standard for programmers? It's just a little more hair. When Chen Xin came to this world and saw a living person for the first time, his mouth couldn't help but joke, and he added, "Just kidding." ”

"Well, I haven't taken care of my hair in a year... However, I'm really a programmer, my name is Xu Licheng, I'm good at C++, what about you? The man replied solemnly.

"Chen Xin." Chen Xin thought about it, and felt that there was nothing wrong with telling the name, but he was a little speechless, and he just wanted to tease the other party's clothes and ease the atmosphere. He has always studied biology, and he has been "heard" about computer programs or something, and after thinking about some special terms he had heard, he held back for a few seconds and said, "Have you heard of Java?" ”

Hearing the answer, the other side instantly showed a look of contempt on his face, and said seriously, "I'll tell you, the execution speed of Java is too slow, and there will be no improvement in the future optimization, I see that you are still young, take advantage of the early change to C++..."

Chen Xin just said it casually, and he didn't really want to communicate with him about the advantages and disadvantages of the programming language, let alone the chain of contempt between programmers, so he interrupted him and interjected, "How could you be chased by so many zombies just now?" ”

"I'm attracting monsters!" Xu Licheng still answered seriously.

"What?!" Chen Xin had a black question mark face.

"Don't you understand the monster?! It's to lure out all the zombies in the supermarket. This way, the rest of our group can safely find supplies in the supermarket. ”

"The group? How many of you have? ”

"Yes, Jiayi, Sister Xiaomei, Brother Ning Sheng, and I all live in a container, and we have teamed up together to find supplies several times."

"What about the other three?" Hearing that there were three other people on the other side, Chen Xin was a little vigilant and asked casually.

"I lured all the zombies away just now, they should have already gone to the supermarket."

"You still have a division of labor!" Chen Xin sighed, thinking that this could be regarded as the prototype of a future combat team, as well as the tactics of luring the enemy and outflanking him.

"Yes, Jiayi can't run fast but has good eyes, so she is responsible for finding canned food and food, Sister Xiaomei used to be a nurse and was responsible for finding medicine, Brother Ning Sheng has great strength, so he is responsible for carrying some heavy things, I have poor eyesight but I run fast, so I have been responsible for attracting zombies."

The corners of Chen Xin's mouth twitched, and he muttered in a low voice, "Always...".

"Is there still a lot of supplies down here?"

"There shouldn't be much left, it's too dark inside, the first few times we went, we could still find some things, and it was okay to change the food for a week, but the last two harvests have become less and less." Hearing Chen Xin ask, Xu Licheng seemed to be a little depressed, "If there is still not much this time, we may have to run farther away to find it." ”

After speaking, Xu Licheng stood up, as if he wanted to go out, and something wrapped in colored plastic suddenly fell out of his pocket and landed in front of Chen Xin.

Chen Xin picked it up, glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and found that it was actually a pack of tampons, so he handed it to Xu Licheng, and suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "By the way, you pulled the feces in the culvert by the river opposite, right?" ”

Chen Xin also raised the stool stained shoes a little higher and pointed with his finger.

Xu Licheng's face turned red instantly, and he whispered embarrassedly, "I really didn't have anything to eat a few days ago, so I ate some leaf porridge, maybe it was bad, and I didn't hold back just now and went to solve it." ”
