Chapter Twenty-Five: Mid-Level Inhumans
"Boss, where are we going next?" The fat man on the side asked, since he thought that he had seen Zhou Hong's hidden attribute "honey charm", he insisted on changing his title to the boss, hoping that as a younger brother, he could one day also be favored by the "charm halo......
Looking up, although it was close to dusk, the sky was not dark, and the visibility was not low, Zhou Hong said: "Let's kill a few more heads and then go back, clear all around the city, and by the way, hone your skills, in this last world, it is very important to race against time; "Okay, listen to the boss," the fat man said, and Guo Yuqi and Qi Jie on the side naturally had no opinion.
So in the next two hours, everyone hunted a few lone zombies ranging from level 2~3 to level 2, none of which broke through level 3, with the skillful cooperation of the three of them, the zombies at the peak of level 3 can still take some time to take a thrilling victory.
After all, this is still within the perimeter of Polestar City, and it is unlikely that you will encounter level 4 or above without being too far away.
In the division of Polestar City, those below level 4 can be called zombies, and those below level 4 or above are called "aliens", because once zombies evolve to level 4, they will be born with intelligence that is not weaker than that of adults, except for very few external differences, almost no different from a normal person.
"Okay, let's stop here today," as the two zombies at the peak of level 3 fell into the hands of Zhou Hong and the fat man, the sky had begun to darken, and at night, the strength of the zombies and the abilities derived from them would increase by different degrees, which would make the risk of fighting at night even greater, not to mention those mutated animals and plants.
So everyone didn't say anything to Zhou Hong's proposal to leave, and harvested the booty——— the corpse nucleus at the heart of the zombie, which is also what Zhou Hong learned after staying in Polestar City for more than a month, starting from the level 2 zombie, the heart of the zombie will form a fluorescent bead, which is the "energy core" that Zhou Hong heard in his mind at the beginning, but it is called "corpse core" in Polestar City.
This round bead is equivalent to the source of power of the entire zombie, if it is damaged, the zombie will die completely, but because its shell is too hard and not easy to destroy, people often aim at the second weakness of the zombie——— the head, which is the same as the previous apocalyptic type film and television dramas or novels, destroying the head or cutting off the entire head, the same can completely kill the zombie.
The fat man dug out two yellow fluorescent corpse cores with ease, whistled, wiped them on the zombie's tattered clothes, and smiled, whenever this kind of time, it was his happiest time.
In Pole Star City, not only did he learn that the corpse core could be used to absorb and enhance his strength, but there was also a certain chance that he could awaken one of the abilities of the original corpse core zombie after being absorbed by ordinary people, but it was just strong and weak after awakening.
More importantly, the corpse core has replaced the original status of paper money before the end of the world and has become the new mainstream transaction currency, of course, there is still the phenomenon of bartering, but this depends on the independent assessment of the goods of the buyer and the seller; Therefore, in the eyes of the fat man, these are not only raw materials for cultivation, but also a pile of glittering gold coins.
Everyone walked back in a relaxed atmosphere, in fact, strictly speaking, they were already out of the safety range of Polestar City, but it was only a little beyond the limit, after all, Zhou Hong was still self-aware, although his true strength was stronger than what he was showing now, but for the other three people in the team, it was just right to use a level 3 peak zombie to hone it.
So before they grow to a higher height, Zhou Hong doesn't plan to let them come into contact with more advanced zombies, the road still has to be taken step by step, if it weren't for the 2~3 level zombies in the safety range who have been killed by them in more than a month, and the remaining level 1 zombies can't play a role in honing, Zhou Hong won't let them risk getting out of the safety range.
Zhou Hong thought that it was just not too far beyond the safe range, and when he really wanted to deal with anything with his strength, the surroundings quietly quieted down, as if the sound of all things in heaven and earth had disappeared, leaving only the laughter and footsteps of their group.
Zhou Hong may not have paid much attention to it at first, but after more than two years of training in the last days, he quickly discovered that something was wrong after a few steps, and at the same time found that something was wrong with the fat man, the surroundings were too quiet, if it was usual, they would still hear the roar of zombies coming from nowhere on the road.
As martial artists, their hearing is several times that of ordinary people, not to mention the roar of zombies, they can't even hear a trace of other noises, which is not normal in itself, this discovery made Zhou Hong and the fat man silently vigilant, and only Guo Yuqi and Qi Jie in the team were unaware.
It's not that their strength is too poor, but this is the difference between a martial artist who hasn't experienced much life and death in the wild and a martial artist who has been in the wild all year round, Zhou Hong and the fat man have mostly survived in the wild for more than two years, so their vigilance is much stronger than that of ordinary martial artists.
"Are you still going too far...... Zhou Hong thought in his heart, although he knew that this situation was not normal, but he still couldn't judge what danger they would encounter, so he could only take one step at a time.
Just when Zhou Hong was about to remind Guo Yuqi and Qi Jie loudly, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a glimpse of Guo Yuqi's right, which was originally empty, and the air suddenly fluctuated like a pebble thrown into the water, and then a dark red dagger suddenly appeared and stabbed at her rapidly, accompanied by a pale complexion and a smiling young man.
'! Zhou Hong burst out with a foul mouth in his heart, and a dagger in his hand that was not slow stabbed at the dark red dagger that suddenly appeared, "Damn! It's too late! Zhou Hong found that he was not far from Guo Yuqi's position, but compared to the dagger that suddenly stabbed out, the speed of returning to defense was still slow.
But fortunately, there was a fat man closer to Guo Yuqi's position, and the fat man was also vigilant about the surrounding environment early in the morning, only to hear the sound of "dang", and the sparks splashed in the fat man's Longquan sword, which had full strength, collided with the dagger fiercely, and suddenly an obvious gap appeared on the sword.
I don't know what material the dark red dagger was, it was intact under the fierce collision, and it was still sharp, but it was also successfully picked up by the fat man's Longquan sword.
As if unexpectedly his own killing blow was intercepted, the young man jumped back with the force of the collision of weapons, and stood in place and quietly looked at the four people in front of him; When the young man looked at everyone, Zhou Hong and the others finally saw the true face of the person who attacked them, but this also made Zhou Hong's heart chuckle, because the first thing that attracted his attention was a pair of blue-green pupils under the young man's black half-length hair.
"Hehe, interesting, I can't imagine that just a whim can come out and run around and encounter interesting things," of course, he can see the depth of the four people in front of him, especially the one who is the leader and he holds the same dagger, with his eyesight, he is still a little unable to see through the strength of the other party, indicating that the other party is only stronger than him, but this also arouses the belligerence in his body.
Compared with the good mood of the young alien, Zhou Hong was waiting for him, and he also saw that the strength of the alien in front of him was probably on par with himself, but the other party had no worries, and there were still fat men and the three of them on his side...... After all, if you are just yourself now, you can fight if you can beat it, and you can still run if you can't beat it.
It seemed to see Zhou Hong's concerns, and the young Yiren was not in a hurry, smiled slightly, and said: "Hello, contemptible Guan Qinghe, level 4 peak Inhuman, the ability is concealment and ——— help people conceal, hehe, a useless ability," as he spoke, Guan Qinghe wiped his hand to the side, and there was a fluctuation in the air, and a muscular figure of more than 1.8 meters appeared.
"This is my teammate, Li Zhi, a mid-level 4 Inhuman, based on the division of your humans, we are considered mid-level Inhumans, right?" Guan Qinghe introduced with a smile, but Zhou Hong's face became more and more difficult to look at, one Guan Qinghe, who was not on par with himself, and Li Zhi, who was not much weaker, if they really fought, as long as Guan Qinghe entangled himself, the three of them were by no means the opponents of this Li Zhi......
Moreover, Zhou Hong learned in Polestar City that at the middle level of Inhumans will derive at least two abilities, and he doesn't think that this Guan Qinghe's method will only be a concealment and a "help people concealment" that is obviously made up at first hearing.
"I'm in trouble now...... Looking at Guan Qinghe with a warm smile on his face and Li Zhi with an expressionless face in front of him, Zhou Hong thought with a headache.
