Chapter 64: Strange Fruit
Huang Xuan waited for another half an hour, and seven more fish and more than a dozen shrimp came to the pit. Huang Xuan painted the scoop according to the gourd, and buried these fish and shrimp in the same way. A total of five times, Huang Xuan calculated, there were twenty-seven mutant fish, and there were more than sixty mutant shrimp, so he refilled the pit, covered it with a layer of snow to clean up the traces, and then dug out the fish and shrimp that were sold in the snow.
The mutant fish and shrimp buried in the snow had frozen to death, Huang Xuan used a boning knife to take out the crystals to remove the internal organs, and rubbed the blood stains with snow water. He took out the prepared plastic bag from his backpack and put it in it, tied it to the snowboard that pulled the goods, took some sap from the mutated tree next to him and sprinkled it to remove the smell of blood, and slid back to the base with the snowboard.
"This is a mutant fish and a mutant shrimp?" The guards of the base were surprised. They have seen a lot of mutant beasts and mutant insects, and the mutated fish and shrimp have basically never seen anyone bring back to the base.
"Hmm." Huang Xuan nodded in response.
"This whole car?" The guards still couldn't believe it.
"Both, how many crystals should I pay?" Huang Xuan asked.
"Two crystals." The guard immediately reacted to his duty and replied.
After paying the money, Huang Xuan sold all the mutant fish and shrimp and bought twenty catties of mutant beef and a cow bone. When I returned home, I stewed a pot of bone broth and beef shabu, and ate a beautiful meal. He had eaten too much fish and shrimp, and it was the first time he had eaten the meat of mutant beasts. In the past, I didn't dare to buy it even if I had money, for fear that others would think about me. Now that he is also a martial artist, why don't you take the opportunity to enjoy it?
"It's a pity that mutated vegetables are all purchased with contribution, otherwise it would be perfect to add some vegetables." Huang Xuan said to himself while eating meat and drinking soup.
The output of vegetables in the rock base is very small, except for the supply troops, others who want to buy it need to complete the tasks of the Warrior Guild and obtain contribution points to be eligible to buy them. Huang Xuan only became an official martial artist today, and he didn't do a single task, even if he had money, he couldn't buy vegetables.
Wang Haoren ran on a sled, and he could ski thousands of kilometers in a day. He came out this time to find the craters left by the explosion of the nuclear bomb. In these craters, a mutated plant grows, and the fruit that bears fruit is a great tonic for the human body. After eating these fruits, there are many benefits, not being infected by the fear of zombie viruses, and being able to increase the strength of ten to twenty times like the successful evolution of mutants, and the opportunity to obtain the abilities that only mutants have. People call this fruit the Miracle Fruit. However, not every nuclear crater has this kind of mutated plant growing, and as for whether you can find the ability fruit, it depends on luck.
Wang Haoren wanted to find some to go back and improve the strength of his eldest brother and Bai Meiyun. For more than a month, he found three nuclear bomb craters. There was only one nuclear crater with two Ability Fruits, one of which he ate himself and one left.
In his spare time, Wang Haoren pondered and used crystals to refine some magic weapons for self-protection. Since crystals can be refined, the magic weapon to resist the heavenly calamity, and it should be used to refine the talisman magic weapon, there should be no problem, right? In memory, a soul crystal is used to refine some metal into a scale-like shape, which is placed on the armor, and can automatically defend against the catastrophe. Wang Haoren refined the armor on his body into a set of fish scale armor, and added a crystal to each scale. I tried it on my body, but it only improved my physical defense by less than one layer, which didn't seem to be of any use, and he couldn't find a catastrophe to try, so he had to give up research.
Wang Haoren continued to search for half a year, almost running all over the country's nuclear bomb craters, and he found three more Miracle Fruits. Looking for it any longer, there was probably little hope, so he had to prepare to return to the Rock Base. Wang Haoren ate the ability fruit, but the speed was a little faster, the strength was a little bigger, and the body was a little stronger, and he didn't feel anything else, and his cultivation was still swaying on the third layer of the foundation. Just got one, regeneration-like ability. The so-called regeneration ability is to accelerate the recovery of the body, and if the hands and feet are broken, new ones can grow, and I don't know if the head is broken, can it grow? This is a very weak ability.,Generally fight with zombies.,Injury means death.,What's the difference between recovery and non-recovery? It's similar to fighting with a mutant beast, once hit by a mutant beast, it's basically a comminuted fracture and incapacitated, where can I escape and wait for recovery?
On the way back, when he passed through the city, he would go in and loot and kill. On this day, Wang Haoren was killing zombies in the city, and heard a burst of gunfire not far away. Wang Haoren felt very strange, the heavy snow blocked the road and the zombies were not mutant beasts, except for crystals and minions, they had no value, how could anyone brave the heavy snow to run to kill zombies. Cleaned up and touched it to see. A sweep of his divine sense found that there were two groups of people, a group of more than a dozen people, chasing the other group of seven or eight, turning back from time to time to shoot a few shots. Ignoring the zombies around them, it is really strange that the zombies attack them means avoiding them and not fighting back. When he looked closer, he realized that seven or eight of them were all mutants running in front, and all of them were humans chasing behind.
Wang Haoren felt that there was no need to get involved, so he just looked at it and quietly left, finding a place to continue hunting zombies. After dark, he sealed the doors and windows, closed the curtains, lit a fire, boiled hot water, and roasted food in a well-preserved hotel. It's cold, and it's a very happy thing to have a fire and eat hot food. Wang Haoren made a pot of hot tea and drank it beautifully, while eating crispy barbecue.
Wang Haoren thought about it, if he had to practice outside all day, what should he do about the safety of his family? It can't be without the slightest defense, and the magic weapon fish scale armor he refined with crystals doesn't have an obvious defensive effect. What if something goes wrong when I'm not at home? He was originally a person who was a little rich and peaceful, and his wife and children were hot on the kang, and he didn't have much pursuit. The ruling party is a hegemon, and he has not experienced how tiring it is to live with intrigue. But since the eldest brother has become the leader of the rock base, those things that compete for power and profit will definitely be unavoidable in the future. It's not enough to improve his strength, you have to prepare something for him to protect himself.
Wang Haoren thought about it, and kept checking the mutilated memories of the cultivators in his mind. Looking at those powerful magic weapons in his memory, he was very greedy. He knew how to refine it, but he didn't have the right materials. Thinking back to his memory, he found a kind of growing puppet beast. The requirements for refining these puppets are not high, and they can be refined with the corpses of demon beasts, plus some spirit stones and metal. Of course, the stronger the demon beast corpse used, the faster and stronger it will grow. This kind of puppet beast has no thoughts, and most of them are used in the cultivation realm to pull goods, farm, mine, and take care of farms. However, there are no demon beasts here, and I don't know if it is okay to use mutant beasts to refine them.
