Chapter 18 Investigation (Seeking Collections, Recommending Investments, and Rewarding)

Not daring to delay, he hurriedly called out the card store and found a card that could deal with this black shadow inside.

After just a little consideration, Zhang Xiaoming chose to buy a card that he had not yet purchased, the Magic Tower card.

[System]: "Ding! Successfully purchased a Magic Tower card, 50 points, 10 stones, 5 rare metals, and 2 gems have been successfully deducted. ”

Hearing the prompt of successful purchase, Zhang Xiaoming still felt a lot of pain in his heart, 50 points, and the only two gems, which were gone in such an instant.

Flesh pain is flesh pain, and he immediately chose to build a magic tower.

In an instant, a magic tower that was only about a quarter of the height of the watchtower, made of gold and stone, with mysterious runes engraved on the surface, and a transparent spherical gem suspended out of thin air at the top, looked quite magical, and stood next to the watchtower.

As soon as the magic tower was successfully established, a translucent ball of light was launched into the air.

In an instant, a wonderful chase race was staged in mid-air.

I saw that the black light in the sky, which was already as fast as lightning, found that there was a ball of light chasing after him, and he "chirped" angrily, and the speed increased by half a point, vowing to get rid of the ball of light.

However, that ball of light was like a dog's skin plaster, and it was unrelenting and relentless.

Not only that, but there were three musketeers below, "bang-bang" and constantly pulling the trigger, shooting and harassing the already miserable black shadow.

More than ten seconds later, the magic tower once again launched a translucent ball of light into the air.

With the help of another ball of light, after a hard chase race, the earliest ball of light that was faintly about to disappear finally got what he wanted, caught up, and hit the target.

The black shadow in mid-air was attacked this time, but it didn't turn into black smoke again, but after letting out a mournful cry of "chirp~", his body was stunned.

At this moment, the ball of light that was slightly behind also hit the black shadow.

Immediately afterward, three more magic energy bullets hit the black shadow that had accelerated and fell from mid-air.

"Smack!"

The black shadow fell to the ground, and everyone was finally able to see the true face of the black shadow in Lushan.

It turned out that the lightning-fast attacker was actually a black strange bird.

Why is it called a strange bird?

The main thing is that it looks completely different from normal birds.

The black monster bird was not very large, but it had two pairs of rather wide wings.

Not only that, but it also has two bulges on its head, and its bird eyes are completely blood-red, which looks weird and weird.

But if you get rid of all these weirdness, the bird looks a bit like a zoomed-in sparrow.

With the attack of this strange bird, Zhang Xiaoming finally really realized the danger of this world, which is probably much higher than he expected.

I didn't dare to stay at the top of the tower for long, so I immediately took out my mobile phone.

After turning on the camera, I quickly recorded a short video around the corner.

Then, I took a few quick photos of various places.

After everything was done, Zhang Xiaoming immediately beckoned Infantry No. 1 to carry him on his back and go down to the ground on the top floor.

When he stood still on the ground, Zhang Xiaoming's little heart, which was almost about to jump out, finally settled down slightly.

After his mind settled down, he suddenly realized that he had not yet used the special skill "Scouting" of the watchtower.

Without hesitation, immediately start the "reconnaissance".

In an instant, ripples that were invisible to the naked eye, centered on the watchtower, quickly spread out in all directions.

In the next moment, a three-dimensional image covering a 100-meter range of the community appeared strangely in front of Zhang Xiaoming's eyes.

What is quite strange is that there are still many small light spots of different colors in this three-dimensional picture.

And most of these points of light are constantly moving.

After a little analysis, Zhang Xiaoming judged that the light points in the three-dimensional map image should represent zombies, mutated animals, and himself and others.

After some careful comparison and analysis, we finally roughly came up with the meaning represented by the small dots of light in each color.

The bright white dot of light represents Zhang Xiaoming himself, the green dot of light represents the recruited peasants and trained soldiers, and the blue dot of light represents the various tower defense buildings built.

As for the red dots, they represent zombies.

This black point of light is uncertain for the time being, but it can probably be guessed that it should be a mutant animal.

But what made Zhang Xiaoming completely confused was that there were more than a dozen gray light spots in the elevator apartment building in the community.

At first, I guessed that this gray point of light might be a dead corpse that has not yet turned into a zombie.

But it didn't take long for this speculation to be self-defeating, and one of the gray spots of light actually moved its position.

If you want to move, it may also be that the corpse was found by zombies or mutated animals, and then taken away for food.

But if it was really eaten, the gray point of light should have disappeared, but instead of disappearing, the gray point of light continued to move to another room.

The guess was fruitless, and Zhang Xiaoming no longer wasted his brains, but carefully analyzed the distribution of zombies and mutated animals within a hundred meters of the vicinity, as well as the activity trajectory.

However, not long after the research, the stereoscopic image in front of me suddenly disappeared without a trace.

I hurriedly checked the watchtower to see what was going on.

After checking the introduction of reconnaissance skills, Zhang Xiaoming's face became a little difficult to look at.

It turns out that this detection skill has a great limit on how to use it, and it can only be used for three minutes at a time.

Once you're done using it, you'll need a two-hour cooldown before you can use it again.

In other words, this skill is used for three minutes and two hours of rest, which is really a hypocritical skill!

I had no choice but to skip the stumble of the watchtower for the time being.

When Zhang Xiaoming dragged out the barracks and tents in the building, planning to move all the things in the tents to the barracks tents for tent synthesis, he suddenly thought of the funny scene of recruiting peasants before.

Hurriedly stopped, first carried out a wave of recruitment, and then ordered the infantry and musketeers to move all the things in the tent to the tent of the barracks with him.

Everything was ready, and Zhang Xiaoming began to synthesize the tent.

[System]: "Ding! Congratulations on the success of crafting a tent, obtaining a level 1 tent card, whether to set up it immediately. ”

"Build!"

As soon as the words fell, a tent that was several laps taller than before, and which seemed to be much stronger and more durable, was already standing in front of it.

"Hmmm! However, the population limit has been increased to 10, and the durability has been increased to 60. ”

Pouting a little speechlessly, Zhang Xiaoming once again turned his gaze back to the card store with two new cards.

I guess that this should be the reward for achieving a thousand consecutive slashes when I go to bed in the morning.

"Well, it's actually a special card that I synthesized myself, an armor-piercing crossbow tower and a trap-type building spur card."

Zhang Xiaoming is simply happy.

He's been coveting the Armor-Piercing Crossbow Tower for a long time, but he just hasn't been able to synthesize it again.

After looking at the corpse of the mutant monster bird that was already too dead to die, he finally chose not to sacrifice it, but asked Infantry No. 1 to put it in a plastic bag and put it in the tent of the barracks.

I'm going to wait until I'm free and do some research.
