After twists and turns, after paying several times the hardships of the superfluous normal situation, the Luo family finally began the real relocation.
The Bank of China Building on the edge of the new city is a large and sturdy structure, with roads extending in all directions, and is located in the center of the square area of the small street park, with a wide field of vision, and the three underground floors have the incomparable anti-vandal advantages of ordinary facilities, which can be said to be an ideal place to transform into a residential place.
Xing Juan asked Luo Ling suspiciously, such a place should have been used by demon hunters as a transit station or a semi-permanent camp a long time ago, how could no one care?
When Luo Ling told her that she had evil neighbors, Xing Juan began to worry about whether her arrival would lure those monsters down.
Luo Ling further explained: "It's the head feather angel, and its evil minions, these birds like to build nests in high places, and they are not interested in crypts. ”
Having said that, the name of the feather angel still scared Xing Juan fiercely.
"Feather Angel, isn't it the legendary fallen angel? It is said that one can easily destroy a brigade! ”
"It's really tough, I've met two before, escaped once, drew once. I was very impressed with the wisdom and fighting style of this bird demon. Now I know that the reason why it is strong is because it is a dark attribute energy body. In essence, it is a level higher than ordinary monsters, but in the energy body, it is only the bottom of the goods. ”
When Xing Juan heard Luo Ling say this, she was relieved. has been living with Luo Ling for a while, and she still understands some of Luo Ling's temperament. Although Luo Ling is strong and indifferent outside, he is modest and cautious in front of his family. Whenever he says a certain monster, he has a disdainful tone, which means that he is sure to win the battle. In this case, although the feathered angel is famous, he is nothing more than a wild dog that can watch the door.
The family started to rebuild their first real shelter. In the early stage, a large amount of civil engineering and heavy physical work were undertaken by Luo Ling, Xing Juan was responsible for the start, and Xiaoqing and Xiaozi sisters were responsible for setting up temporary camp tents and preparing meals.
According to Luo Ling's plan, the workload of this transformation is relatively huge, but fortunately, Luo Ling alone is more than a dozen ordinary people in terms of labor, and the equipment is also relatively well prepared, and the combination of the two can undoubtedly greatly shorten the working hours.
The first thing to do is to renovate the ventilation system.
In order to facilitate cleaning and maintenance, the original ventilation system was a rectangular structure that could accommodate an adult creeping pass, which was extremely dangerous in Luo Ling's opinion. He knows no less than ten kinds of monsters that can invade through this way, and when it comes to issues such as air exchange in the room, he naturally has to be extra cautious.
On the basis of the original pipes, Luo Ling used metal welding and concrete to block the part of the pipe connected to the above-ground ventilation system, and rerouted it to make it an independent existence. Eventually, the outlet of the ventilation duct was set behind the utility room shelf at the corner of the first floor of the building, and four beehole isolation valves up to 30 cm thick were installed in the normal pipes, which were set up at the exit, the corner of the first floor, the B2 and B1 joints, and the B3 and B2 joints. In this way, there are three isolation valves that are parallel to the position of the floor slab, which is the most effective way to strengthen the anti-vandal ability.
The air filter device is indispensable, not only because Xing Juan's normal life has requirements for air quality, but also to prevent the air in the inhabited room from attracting the attention of monsters after excretion. This device is fitted as a matter of course behind the B3 isolation valve.
As the last defense point of the ventilation system, Luo Ling also installed a monitoring electronic eye near the isolation valve leading to the B3 floor, and with the anti-energy jammer and the alarm system of the monitoring table, it is difficult to conceal any abnormal movement.
The second renovation project is the elevator.
Originally, there was a dedicated elevator from the ground floor to B3, but Luo Ling used the ventilation system to divert the excavated earth and stone to fill in this section of the third floor, and rebuilt the elevator shaft, raising it to the next level.
In the details, Luo Ling not only readjusted the elevator cable, but also replaced the control press plate in the elevator room, and the button leading to B3 disappeared.
The third step is to renovate the vault, which takes up half of the total space on the B3 floor. As one of the priorities of the new home, the most difficult and time-consuming thing for Luo Ling was to turn the door of the vault over so that it opened inward.
To do manipulation on the door, it is not only necessary to consume a lot of man-hours, but also to have a complete understanding of the structure of the door.
In order to save time and labor, Luo Ling finally thought of a stupid solution: he cut all the 150-centimeter-thick walls with dozens of human arms pulled horizontally and vertically from the edge near the edge, and then twisted them in one direction like a central axis turntable, and then re-welded them.
When Luo Ling straddled the sides of the door with his legs, supported by his limbs, and twisted and rotated the dozens of tons of walls, Xing Juan and the others were frightened. In the past, he only knew that Luo Ling was strong, but he didn't have a specific reference in his heart, and he didn't think that Luo Ling's strength was so great that he could twist and rotate a thick wall made of almost all metal. This is equivalent to the power of the gantry crane, which is too appalling.
In fact, Luo Ling himself was secretly shocked, originally with the idea of giving it a try, but he actually did it. This made him surprised by the powerful explosive power and terrifying strength and toughness of his new body, and more importantly, he had a more intuitive concept of the process of energy consumption.
Luo Ling found that if in the past, human beings were the way to output the energy of the body, a small sluice to irrigate the fields, then the current body is like the flood gate of a large reservoir, he has accumulated energy for more than ten days, and it is almost released in less than 7 seconds. Luo Ling could even clearly feel that in each of the energy cores that made up the new body, the energy consumption was close to the bottom line. This made him see the possibility that if needed, he would be able to inflict a terrible and devastating blow in a very short period of time.
Luo Ling pondered, according to the strong release characteristics of this energy, there was a basis for the development of finishing techniques of the 'Fight a Blow' type. The theory is that in the most concise and effective way, the power of this instantaneous burst is released through one point or one line. As for the power, it should still be above Mo Xiqi's powerful sword slash in the air.
Out of these considerations, a plan gradually became clear in Luo Ling's heart. The first stage is the accumulation of energy, so that each energy core reaches a state of full energy. Then there is the limit test, what is the strength of the maximum energy release in 1 second, how long can the limit release last in the state of full energy, and how much energy is released in 1 second, and how much is completely controlled...... These data are directly related to the combat power at critical moments, and are related to the success or failure of life and death, which is the basic grasp of the new body.
After that, it is a special practice of controlling the new power, under the premise of using it freely, combined with the existing knowledge and martial arts concepts, to create your own finishing skills, and then tempered with countless exercises and actual battles, so that the practical and powerful new skills are born. Then, we talked about further strengthening and improving.
In addition, the change in the form of the body's energy structure has affected the basic structure of the entire combat system, in terms of operation and use, and efficiency recovery, which requires a lot of time to re-explore, study, and master, and even adjust and change the previous habits of work and rest.
When Luo Ling told Xing Juan little by little about his thoughts in the subsequent rewelding process of the wall reinforcement, Xing Juan sighed, saying that Luo Ling's strength was not only due to talent, diligence and luck, but also because he had an obsession with full devotion. A person who is always comprehending the methods of obtaining and using power is naturally incomparable to the rapid growth of ordinary people.
"The search for power is like a reaction force caused by the pressure of survival, and the greater the pressure, the greater the rebound. Before I knew it, it was integrated into my life, inseparable, as natural as breathing. I know very well that such a self must have diluted the degree of attention to you, and I dare not expect you to be able to understand this kind of 'strength first, affection second' attitude of life, but I just hope that you can think about it. Just like those career-oriented men will often be away from home and can't spend more time with their wives. Of course, this attitude cannot be used as a reason not to be responsible, and I will try to remind myself to be a good husband. ”
Xing Juan knew that when Luo Ling said this, he was explaining the quarrel that day in disguise, and it was a kind of remedy made because he cared about each other's feelings. And she also understands that a man who can even give up his own life for the sake of strength expects him to put his family first, which is obviously unrealistic.
"We can understand." Xing Juan said. Indeed, Xing Juan prefers to see her husband's honesty than lying against her will, although she will feel a little sad because of it.
Xing Juan also wanted to resolve the dispute that day, it was a good intention at the time, but the result was to put Luo Ling into a more helpless situation, although Luo Ling has always refused to say how he survived, but just looking at the drastic changes before and after, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of risks and pain Luo Ling experienced at that time. Even if the two sides can understand each other afterwards, if they don't talk about it, Xing Juan is also worried that it will leave a shadow in each other's hearts.
Xing Juan said: "Love, on the contrary, makes things worse, this is not my intention with Xiaoqing and Xiaozi." ”
"It's my selfishness and obsession that hurt you. All I can say is sorry for that. If I had to choose again, I would still choose strength, and without power, I would not be able to protect what I hold dear. The deaths of my family and friends, as well as the deaths of Lao Ge and Xing Jie, are all because I am not strong enough. I'd rather you complain about my lack of self-love than be this only husband. ”
Luo Ling laughed self-deprecatingly, since he was a student, he was not very good at pleasing girls, and his roommate in the dormitory told him that women are used to coax, they are emotional animals, and once they are rated as 'you are a good person', then the subtext is actually 'you are not suitable for me'. Because in modern times, a good person is often equated with a man who only knows how to suffer, not to mention that honesty means not concealing it, and a man without secrets is boring for women.
Many years later, Luo Ling still has such a temperament, of course, he is not a bag, and he no longer worries about his girlfriend's problems. As for secrets, even he doesn't know how many secrets he has, let alone someone else?
"Forgive my selfishness, I can't stand to see you in danger and be powerless to save you. Forgive my emotional cowardice, and I admit that in this regard, I am far from being as strong as I appear. ”
There may be some truth to the statement that sincerity is the key to opening one's inner world. At least, Luo Ling's words moved Xing Juan and Xiaoqing Xiaozi. The four of them hugged each other tightly to express their determination to be with each other.
As Xing Juan said, in this world, they are only left with each other. They are a family, and they don't say that they want to die together, but they want to work hard to help each other and live happily. ”
To live happily, if it is a kind of happiness to work hard to build a nest like an ant, then Luo Ling's family is indeed very happy now.
From scratch, turning a messy and dark place into a comfortable and warm home little by little, this kind of visible achievement is far more valuable and meaningful than fighting and killing. Xing Juan and Xiaoqing Xiaozi see it this way. The delicate minds of women make them more affectionate than Luo Ling for this new home, and they have put more effort into it. This point, Luo Ling can see some clues from the long shopping list that the three daughters still pulled out in the ordinary furniture such as beds and cabinets that have already arrived and still pulled him out.
Luo Ling doesn't have too many requirements for the comfort of home, but has an almost paranoid obsession with safety.
The vault, as the core of the new home, eventually became an independent backup unit with two functions: living and monitoring. For this reason, Luo Ling also deliberately moved two sets of monitoring equipment from the airport maintenance channel, and even did not let go of those monitoring eyes.
According to the original layout, outside the vault, it was originally divided into the front porch room and the left guard room, the right power instrument room, and the front hall. Luo Ling replaced the prime mover system with a medium-sized magic energy generator that was only a cubic meter in size and had three times the power of an old device. And, it was housed in a vault. The bulky equipment was thrown into the furnace of the making table, and various specifications of metal profiles were made. This is possible thanks to the tools provided by Budweiser.
The Budweiser gave Luo Ling a high-end product with expandable accessories, which not only greatly increased the variety of products manufactured by the table, but also raised the specifications of the product by one level, and some medium-sized profiles could also be manufactured.
Later, Luo Ling turned the metal storage cabinets in B2 and the spare power system components of the building on the B1 floor into materials for renovating the house. The original guard house was solidified with a large amount of metal material, and a wall ladder leading to B2 was erected from here.
For this entrance, Luo Ling had purchased a sealed induction electric hatch from Budweiser, which corresponded to a certain south part of the east wall of the B2 floor, and after camouflage treatment, this door looked like the rest of the floor from the B2 floor.
The new guard also has the function of a dissociation room, its area is a full 50 square meters, so Luo Ling separated a 20 square meter, and placed a wardrobe and tool rack as a changing room for hunting.
The door of the guard room was originally facing the corridor side, but Luo Ling changed it to the opposite side. In this way, if you take the normal path, go down the wall ladder to the dissociation room, and pass through the locker room, you will enter the vestibule that was previously accessible by an elevator. Then through the alloy door of the vestibule, you can enter the gallery, and at the end of the gallery is the vault.
The design is so complicated that it is for more safety. Each door can provide a layer of security for the dwelling, delay for a while, with this time, in case of danger, you can calmly arrange, and finally retreat to the vault, waiting for assistance. These were all considered and arranged by Luo Ling with the illusion of his absence.
The front hall is an empty place of nearly 200 square meters, and Luo Ling discussed with his family to transform it into a flower room. Benches and ladders full of plants are surrounded by a table and a few chairs in the middle, so that the family who has lived in the 'canned food box' for a long time has a space to adjust the pressure.
The most laborious part of the flower room is to arrange the imitation fluorescent lampshade on the top floor, fortunately, Luo Ling has prepared the materials, what to do, is only to install and use according to the specific situation, but even so, it took five days to arrange it properly, and the plants need to spend ten times as much time as this to slowly add.
The instrument room, which is separated from the bathroom by the corridor, is 1.5 times the size of the bathroom, and it was finally converted into a kitchen and bathroom. Kitchens, bathrooms, this has to be changed before, people will not give much attention. However, in this era, especially for survivors, if you don't solve this problem well, it will be too much to disturb, and if you are at risk of your life, you will be able to easily expose your existence because of the smoke of cooking, the excrement of the human body, and even the smell of daily life.
In order to solve this problem, Luo Ling specially purchased small waste gas treatment equipment and sewage treatment equipment from Budweiser. These two products were researched and developed by a company to establish a semi-permanent secret sentry card, and Budweiser does not produce such products, but can only be purchased on behalf of others. Luo Ling not only spent a considerable amount of palladium for them, but also had to open a space of no less than 10x10x3 outside B3 to place and install the corresponding pipe connections.
Together with the excavation earthwork, instrument placement and commissioning, Luo Ling spent 15 working days to get it preliminarily completed. The kitchen and bathroom were finally shaped as an ensuite connected to the inside and outside, and the door opened on the side of the corridor.
The corridor room is divided into two and becomes a corridor of about 10 meters and a room of nearly 100 square meters. Luo Ling installed a door at this end of the corridor to distinguish the inner room from the outer room.
At this point, the entire B3 from north to south, forming a distinct four areas. The northernmost is the main room, which occupies the largest area, to the south is the large room in front of the porch, which is used as a living room, and to the south is the most complex western kitchen and bathroom suite, the east dissociation dressing room and the corridor in the middle, and the southernmost is the flower room.
The B3 floor, which is a few hundred square meters of space, was divided and arranged in this way, and Luo Ling spent more than 600 jobs before and after to complete all the major changes, and the small links, the family took about two more months to really arrange it properly, and it was in line with their hearts.
What is a little ironic is that since Luo Ling has devoted himself to the transformation of his new home, the 'rivers and lakes' are no longer troublesome, and the whole world seems to be clean.
Luo Ling rejected Sha Lu's proposal, but he didn't tear his face in person, he promised Sha Lu not to interfere in any entanglement between Lei Dian and the company for half a year.
The command car didn't seem to have been discovered by the spies in the same camp as Mo Xiqi, but Luo Ling, who had a new home, no longer relied on him as before, but left it in Qingshi Village, serving as a temporary rest den and liaison desk with the company.
Luo Ling's big guy Nian Gu who was sent out to hide early in the morning also returned smoothly. The body of the ancient water snake was handed over to Moggug, and half a year later, a demonized undead python would walk out of the Sanctuary of the Dead and become the guardian beast of the B2 space of its new home. Luo Ling also specially instructed Mogguge to design a set of magic seals for the undead python, and in the future, Luo Ling, the master of this big snake, was ready to hand it over to Xing Juan. In this way, Luo Ling can feel more at ease when he goes out.
There are also some things that are carried out simultaneously with the renovation of the new home, such as the torture of the sniper who attacked Luo Ling and Mo Xiqi. The entire torture process was carried out in the Temple of the Dead, different from ordinary physical injuries, after resuscitating the two of them, the old lich directly stripped out their souls and ravaged, destroyed, and tortured, needless to say the sniper, he was just a mortal, his spiritual cultivation was obviously insufficient, and he couldn't withstand the torture of Mogguge at all, Mo Xiqi was only after half a set of torture methods, and his will collapsed, which was beyond Luo Ling's expectations. In his mind, for a strong person like Mo Xiqi, his spiritual cultivation must also be high-numbered, otherwise how could he control a powerful force?
Luo Ling's confusion at this point was still the confusion that Mogguge solved later. For most cultivators, the process of cultivation is a trinity of strength, skill, and mind, and the more common situation is that first, the strength is improved, then the technique is pure, and finally, the state of mind is improved. Even because of the teacher's origins and other reasons, the accumulation of skills is abundant, so that the first two things are far above the realm of mental cultivation are not uncommon.
And Luo Ling's cultivation process was very unusual, he first gained strength, and then he was extremely lacking in skills. In order to use his power handily, it is also because of the persecution of the environment, he has been working hard to improve the realm of will cultivation, and then he has made great efforts to control the power firmly in his hands. Then hone your skills in practice. Therefore, Luo Ling's spiritual cultivation realm can be said to be far superior to a strong man with the same combat power, and it is reasonable for him to overestimate Mo Xiqi's will by himself.
The information extracted from the sniper and Mo Xiqi showed that the reason why these two people were able to ambush him in advance was not because his identity had been revealed. For this reason, Luo Ling felt a lot more relieved. The sniper's name is Zhou Yu, and he is a famous demon hunter in a copycat base in Anping Town, more than ten kilometers east of Guang'an. This professional sergeant major-turned-sniper, nicknamed the executioner, likes to work alone, likes to eat black and eats black, and there are as many as 39 snipers who have been killed by him. When the news of Budweiser's product exhibition spread all over Guang'an, Zhou Yu and several like-minded 'headhunters' wanted to take the opportunity to do a vote, so more than a dozen people formed a loose front of robbers, laying out some necessary roads, shooting cold guns and robbing rich households. Zhou Yuyi was bold, the runway Budweiser company periphery layout, saw Luo Ling who came out of the direction of the International Trade Building alone, thought it was a sheep, but kicked the iron plate, but was captured by Luo Ling.
And Mo Xiqi was able to find the door because his vein has cultivated a special induction method, and this mysterious way allows him to cross time and space to sense the location of the same door. After receiving the news that Xuanyuan Yanshui's life and death were uncertain, Mo Xiqi refused to accompany him with the pride of a master, and searched for apprentices with a sword alone, but after looking for four days and three nights, he finally found it and stopped near Qingshi Village. Just after Luo Ling opened the space door of the shadow plane and went to the International Trade Building, Mo Xiqi arrived.
After Mo Xiqi found the command car, he simply came to wait for the rabbit and wait for work, while replenishing the consumption of a few days of travel, while waiting for Luo Ling's return. His luck was good, after he was full of wine and food, and after being calm and relaxed, Luo Ling came back. It's a pity that in the end, Shalu ruined a good thing, and the holy swordsman, who is known as the little grandmaster, ended up like an apprentice.
After extorting a lot of useful information and knowledge, Luo Ling handed over Zhou Yu and Mo Xiqi to Mogguge. In the current shortage of manpower, Luo Ling attaches great importance to these two combat-oriented talents. According to his meaning, these two intelligent derivations should retain their IQ as much as possible, and then do their best to cultivate and strengthen into the current highest-level undead warriors. Luo Ling is ready to take the two of them with him in the future, although it can't be said to be a right-hand man, but it is still very suitable to make a move, solve some ordinary problems, or always cooperate with him in battle, and play such a role as a guard.
Another important event during the renovation of the new house was that a month after Luo Ling left the International Trade Building, he began to trade materials with Budweiser in batches, and the first batch of goods arrived was research equipment and appliances, which Luo Ling purchased for Mogguge. The old lich has a great passion for new knowledge and new things related to the study of the realm of the undead, and his laboratory, after adding a large number of advanced instruments and instruments, has indeed greatly improved the research environment, increased the accuracy of research, and brought a lot of inspiration and the possibility of several research projects to Moggug to take a different path.
Ten days later, the second batch arrived. This time, it is an all-encompassing material, from mutated minerals to rare gases, from plant roots, leaves, canes and stems to animal organ furs. These materials were also prepared for the research of Moggug. The old lich needed to study the properties of these materials to figure out what they could replace for what he was familiar with. What Luo Ling needs is a complete and feasible implementation plan for cultivating high-level immortal derivatives, processes, cultivation consumables, and transformation principles, Luo Ling asked Mogguge to sort them out comprehensively and in detail, as a guide for Luo Ling's large-scale production of immortal generals in the future.
Fifteen days later, the third deal was also successfully concluded. As the last batch of materials in the first stage, the materials this time are mainly the primary stage of the transformation of the body, and the magic auxiliary materials needed. This time, the material was mainly in large quantities, plus the cylindrical tank and other equipment prepared for the special derivation transformation, so that the truck pulled five trucks.
The supplies were unloaded at Luo Ling's designated location, and Moggug then instructed the Descendants to move them into the Sanctuary of the Dead, which made the Sanctuary even more crowded.
At this point, Moggug was still not satisfied with the number of corpses and stumps, and he told Luo Ling that if he had the opportunity, he would capture a large number of demonized corpses, in preparation for the construction of a burial place in the future. For necromancers, the Boneyard has countless benefits, and for necromancers, it is comparable to the usefulness of an idol altar for priests. Xiao Qing and Xiao Zi's cultivation of undead spells also has the benefit of half the effort in the place of buried bones, and the Temple of the Undead is not suitable for them, and the rich rot energy in it is like the relationship between potassium cyanide and poisonous snakes for people who are new to necromancyte spells.
Xiaoqing and Xiaozi have a very resolute attitude towards becoming necromancers, and in terms of talent, they do have the potential to be summoners. The introductory course of the two was written by Mogguge, seeing that Luo Ling provided him with a lot of research equipment and materials, on this textbook, Mogguge put a lot of effort into it, and many of the contents were his own experience and know-how that he had explored and summarized on the long-term path of cultivation, Xing Juan read it and commented that this is the real one.
Xing Juan herself is a magic cultivator, her rank is not very high, but she has a solid grasp of the basic part, and she also has rich practical experience. Therefore, Xing Juan volunteered to be the tutor of Xiaoqing and Xiaozi's basic courses, and Luo Ling didn't think too much about it, so he readily agreed. In fact, Luo Ling didn't expect the twin sisters to be able to command the undead army to conquer the city in the future, he just hoped that the sisters could master some magic skills and reach a certain level of spiritual power cultivation, so that they could control the transformed undead to serve themselves. If one person can bring dozens of transformation level derivatives that are not low, they will also be qualified to go out, and at that time, Luo Ling will not have to worry about the safety of the three of them all day long like now.
In the blink of an eye, the Lunar New Year is approaching, the Luo family's new home has been basically renovated, and many expectations and plans have begun to be implemented in an orderly manner, and the momentum is good. The Luo family lives a fulfilling life, getting tired of being together every day, and the relationship is heating up again. On the day of celebrating the official completion of their new home, the Xiaoqing and Xiaozi sisters bid farewell to their status as girls and became Mrs. Luo. Women who are new to personnel are always very obsessed, on this day, Luo Ling was chatting with his wife and concubine in the rattan chair in the flower room, and the buzzer alarm of the monitoring equipment went off.
"An outsider has entered the BOC Building?" Luo Ling frowned slightly, there were feathered angels and a flying demon inhabiting upstairs, and monsters generally would not easily disrupt the balance of the territory. "Tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, who remembered to come here at this time to descend demons and eliminate demons?"
