Chapter 9: The ...... Gold and Blood Crystals?
There are quite a few gold shops in the city, and the place that Wang Xiaochuan is most familiar with is the place where he encountered mutant zombies before. At the thought of being bitten to death by mutated zombies, he couldn't help but shudder.
It was the first time in his life that he had truly faced death! Although he didn't actually die in the end, it was just a different outcome, and the feeling he experienced was no different from the real death!
He didn't dare to go to Xinjian Road anyway, and judging from the momentum of the skyrocketing in the school last night, it was not a good idea to go west. Then the only place he can go now is to the east.
To the east is Yunshan Road, and after passing Yunshan Road, you will go out of the city. Therefore, Yunshan Road can actually be regarded as the eastern section of a ring road.
Originally a county-level road, it was gradually incorporated into the interior of the city as the city expanded. It was renovated just two years ago and is now a wide eight-lane road.
There are few residential areas on Yunshan Road, and most of the shops and shopping malls along both sides of the street are all kinds of building materials. There are a lot of valuable building materials in the building materials store, and there are many tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of sets of high-end solid wood furniture, if he can transport these back, he can also make a lot of money. The value of these things may even be higher than the value of all the gold shops in the entire city.
But it was too troublesome to carry, he could only carry things within one meter of him at a time, and he couldn't disassemble the furniture for transportation. Second, it's still the same old problem, he has no sales channels in the real world, and it's difficult to sell.
He already has some drafts in his heart about this question, so let's not talk about it for the time being. Now his primary purpose is to find a gold shop to loot.
There are few cars, fewer people, and fewer zombies on Yunshan Road. Wang Xiaochuan walked along the side of the road for ten minutes, barely fighting a single zombie. An old shopping mall appeared in front of it.
Wang Xiaochuan has been to this shopping mall, and there is a jewelry store on the first floor inside!
"Finally found a gold shop!"
Wang Xiaochuan's eyes were shining, as if he had discovered a gold mine. No, a gold mine was actually discovered. Now Xiurong City in the entire parallel world is an incomparably rich gold mine in his eyes, just waiting for him to mine!
Wang Xiaochuan clenched his fists, and when he came out of the community, he killed more than a dozen zombies in a row. Now some blood energy has regained in his body.
One zombie can increase his strength by about one percent, and a dozen zombies can increase his strength by more than one. It doesn't seem like much, but it's enough for him to face the siege of several zombies...... Of course, the premise is that there are no mutated zombies controlling those silly zombies on the side.
He picked up the chainsaw with one hand and the blast shield with the other, got out of the car and walked towards the mall gate.
In front of the mall is a parking lot with a dozen cars and seven or eight zombies. Wang Xiaochuan activated the chainsaw and cleared all the zombies in the parking lot one by one before walking towards the gate.
The chainsaw is much better than a kitchen knife, and the fast-spinning chain allows him to kill a zombie easily without much effort, which is very labor-saving.
The mall is the kind of mall with a traditional patio, and you can see all the floors from the lobby. Wang Xiaochuan walked into the door, raised his head and slowly swept through all the floors, and found that there were not many zombies on each floor, only three or four, plus those places that could not be seen, it was estimated that there were only seven or eight at most. Basically, they are all dressed in the costumes of shop assistants and workers, and there are no customers.
"It seems that when the zombie crisis broke out in the parallel world, it was not a holiday, nor was it the peak period of daytime passenger flow."
Some thoughts flashed through Wang Xiaochuan's mind as he walked into the hall.
Zombies move slowly, have low defense, and are easy to kill. With his current level of equipment, even if he was besieged by seven or eight zombies at the same time, there was not much danger. So for the time being, he wasn't too nervous.
"I just don't know if there's any of that kind of mutant zombie here......"
Wang Xiaochuan kept his caution and walked towards the door, and a zombie in a red waitress costume was alarmed. Turning slowly, let out a hoarse roar, and staggering slowly.
Wang Xiaochuan swung the chainsaw and cut it hard, and immediately the flesh and blood splattered, but not much blood flowed out. The zombie was cut in half from the shoulder, and a pale red blood mist rose out and burrowed into Wang Xiaochuan's body.
After experiencing the benefits of blood energy, he was no longer rejecting such unexplained things. He felt a slight increase in strength and continued to stride forward.
The first floor of a shopping mall is a place where all kinds of gold and silver jewelry and cosmetics are sold, and the ground is very messy, and there are messy things thrown everywhere. Because there was no light, it was dark in the hall.
After solving two zombies in a row, he finally found an accessory counter and walked over.
The counter is filled with a variety of jewelry. Most of them are gold, but there are also platinum and jackpot ones. There are also similar things in the several counters next to it, including watches, jadeite, and so on.
"Rich! Get rich! ”
Wang Xiaochuan almost felt that his eyes had turned golden, even if he had been mentally prepared for a long time, his heart was still beating wildly at this moment.
He flipped over the counter, put down the chainsaw, opened the bag he had prepared, and immediately began to search. He specially selects high-purity gold to take, but he doesn't bother to touch the rest. Some of those watches and jadeites may be worth more than the same weight of gold, but in comparison, it is clear that the value of gold is more stable and easy to get rid of.
He didn't want to be troubled in the real world.
One counter, two counters......
Wang Xiaochuan passionately searched for all the gold jewelry, and the backpack hanging on his arm gradually became heavy. But for his much larger strength now, that weight was nothing. The intense passion and excitement also made him completely ignore this little weight.
"Woo——!"
A zombie wearing a white shirt and pants slowly wandered over, Wang Xiaochuan frowned and impatiently put down his backpack, raised a chainsaw and cut towards the zombie.
"Squeak!"
The chainsaw suddenly erupted with a sharp sound, and then the chain broke with a "bang"!
Wang Xiaochuan was terrified, and a chill rushed from the tail vertebrae down his back to his head!
"Mutant Zombies!"
The attacked zombie let out a wail, then its chest swelled violently and sucked into the sky. Even if he didn't look back, Wang Xiaochuan felt that all the zombies around him, including the zombies upstairs, burst out with strong blood energy at the same time, converging towards the mutant zombies!
This time the movement was far bigger than the last time he encountered it!
Last time, he was killed in seconds, and this time it is even more impossible to dodge! What's more, the chainsaw in his hand was also damaged!
Escape!
Wang Xiaochuan only had this thought left in his head, but he looked at the mutated zombies close at hand, estimated the distance between himself and the gate, and his heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden!
The speed of the mutated zombie is too fast, and it is impossible for him to escape!
"People die for money, birds die for food! What's more, I won't really die! Fight! ”
Wang Xiaochuan's eyes turned red fiercely, and he roared, pulling out the bone-chopping kitchen knife prepared just in case and slashing at the head of the mutant zombie!
"Dang!"
The kitchen knife entered the meat a little, and it was blocked by the hard skull.
Seeing that a large amount of blood mist was about to enter the zombie's mouth, Wang Xiaochuan was in a hurry, only to feel a heat rise in his body, and then suddenly erupted and poured into his arms.
A burst of red light burst out of his arms, and he only felt that his arms were like a thousand pounds!
"Drink ——!!"
The originally heavy kitchen knife turned as light as a piece of paper in his hand, and he waved his arm fiercely, and he unexpectedly waved a faint afterimage!
"Poof!"
The kitchen knife finally pierced the head of the mutant zombie, and the gray-black brains inside erupted like a fountain under intense pressure!
Along with the squirt, there is also a tiny red crystal!
Wang Xiaochuan instinctively grabbed it, and then saw that the blood energy that had not yet had time to merge into the mutant corpse, like a tired bird throwing into the forest, all converged towards his palm, and finally burrowed into the red crystal!
Everything changed too quickly, and it took Wang Xiaochuan a while to come back to his senses.
At this time, his arms were trembling, sore, numb, and painful, and he couldn't tell what it was like! And there is also a feeling of weakness in the whole body, and the blood energy in the body has also decreased a lot.
"What just happened? How could the blood in my body suddenly explode? …… Is this the correct way to use blood? ”
Wang Xiaochuan was dazed and shocked, he didn't even know what blood energy was until now, even the way mutated zombies used blood energy looked the same as him.
"Can this energy still be controlled by me like the internal force in the novel?"
He tried to control the remaining blood energy in his body with his mind, but found that the blood energy was not under his control.
"Forget it, let's study it when we have a chance."
Wang Xiaochuan sat on the ground, panting, he spread out his palm, and a rich blood light bloomed, among which was a blood-colored crystal about the size of a soybean.
"Blood Crystals...... Could this thing be made by the blood in the mutated corpse? ”
Wang Xiaochuan looked at the crystals in his hand, he felt that there was surging blood energy in them, and he was a little surprised in his heart.
He quickly glanced around and found that most of the zombies had all died, but there were faint voices coming from other floors, and it was clear that there were still zombies.
He didn't know if there were other mutant zombies among them, after a big battle, the chainsaw and kitchen knife had been damaged, and his arm was as soft as noodles because of the outbreak just now.
Now he is very dangerous!
"Gotta go!"
He glanced at the several counters in the hall that had not been swept with great regret, and turned away decisively.
The electric tricycle carried him away quickly, and soon he returned to his home in the community. He gathered all his harvest, locked the door, and then lay down in bed and began to sleep.
In a haze, he couldn't help but think: the two places where mutated zombies appeared were in buildings, and the zombies were obviously more active at night than during the day. So zombies are actually afraid of sunlight? Zombies in the sun are very weak, and zombies that are not exposed to direct sunlight will become strong?
In his rambling thoughts, he felt his body gradually become lighter, and finally it was as if he had entered space, completely losing weight.
This was also the first time he had a clearer sense of the process.
When he felt the atmosphere change, the cold and desolate apocalyptic atmosphere gradually transformed into a familiar world, he opened his eyes, exhaled and sat up.
"I'm back."
