In the dimly lit health center, a dozen captives gathered in a corner, sobbing, praying, and complaining.

They were captured by the carrion monsters, and they had been caught here for most of the day, without eating or drinking, nor keeping warm, and everyone had a hint of iron on their faces, looking like they were frozen.

But Chu Ci knew that this was not a sign of freezing, but a carrion virus that was eating away at their body functions.

When their territory expands and they urgently need to stabilize their dominance, they will capture any type of life, scratch and infect them, and use the living flesh as a hotbed for decay, and after another 12 hours, the flesh and blood of these living beings will be transformed into rotting mud, and their souls will be eroded by the plague to the last of their sanity and become new rotting corpses.

There is no way to solve the carrion virus, but at this stage, it is a fantasy.

Although Chu Ci didn't have any idea of saving people.

Chu Ci stood still, shaking his flashlight to look at the size and layout of the health center.

After all, more than a hundred years have passed, and he doesn't have much impression of what was once there, and many things that modern people have heard of have become a simple historical term for Chu Ci.

Two carrions surrounded him from behind.

These people looked at Chu Ci motionless, thinking that he was scared stupid, but no one reminded him, maybe it was schadenfreude, or maybe it was fear, but more with the idea that since Lao Tzu was no longer saved, he didn't want others to get better.

"It's a nice place."

Chu Ci swept around, finally nodded with satisfaction, and spoke, his voice calm and calm.

The rotting corpse came behind him and launched a surprise attack.

Chu Ci didn't move, and two powerful steel feet suddenly popped into the door, instantly knocking the two carrion monsters away.

In the dim light, it was as if two terrifying claws stretched out from Chu Ci's back.

Knocking away the two carrion monsters with one blow, Chu Ci did not advance but retreated, shook the flashlight to provoke the hatred of the carrion monsters, and led the carrion monsters inside out of the door.

"Ugly garbage, get out of here and don't spoil my place."

The health center has become a territory recognized by Chu Ci, and as the owner, he naturally can't let the carrion monster destroy his temporary residence.

Half of the dozen or so carrion monsters pursued Chu Ci, and the other half stayed in place to guard the human captives.

All the captives thought that Chu Ci was dead, but they didn't expect a few explosions to be heard outside the door soon, and in less than a minute, Chu Ci returned to the health center, carrying a chainsaw and a skull with a glowing pale yellow light, staring at the carrion monster in the room... And the captives.

Chu Ci was slightly dissatisfied: "Can you get out all at once?" I don't have the wisdom to resist the temptation, so I chase half of it every time, and it's a waste of my time to divide it to when. ”

The carrion monster couldn't understand human speech, so Pu Da Pu Da chased after half of it.

But the captives can understand it, Chu Ci will take away seven or eight carrion monsters as soon as he enters and leaves for a minute, and according to this progress, in another three or five minutes, they will be saved.

The survivors were suddenly filled with joy, and in their joy, they forgot that their strength was getting weaker and weaker, and their five senses began to lose their small details.

Chu Ci led the monster twice, took the carrion monster to the open road, and was killed by the eight-legged sword spider, and then stopped, there were four carrion monsters left in the health center, it was too wasteful of time to continue to lead them, and those carrion monsters would not necessarily be seduced.

So... That's enough.

Chu Ci instructed the eight-legged sword spider to disassemble the fuel tank of the roadside car, directly took a barrel of oil, put it at the door of the hall of the health center, and then lit it.

The bright light of the fire suddenly illuminated the entire area on the first floor of the health center.

Fearing the flames, the carrion cowered toward the captive.

"Ahh

"Come and save me, help."

The smell of erosion and the rotten body rushed to their faces, and the captives were in a mess, you squeezed me, I squeezed you, screaming for help, desperately trying to stay away from the rotting corpses, but the more they squeezed, the more the rotting corpses wanted to get closer, using them as shields to isolate the heat.

Chu Ci glanced at it, ignored it, and turned around and walked towards the second floor.

He had already asked the eight-legged sword spider to stand by outside the door, the corridor of the health center was on the left side of the door, and the eight-legged sword spider was guarding the gate on the first floor, and he could also take care of the stairs leading to the second floor.

As for whether the second floor of the clinic is safe, it is completely difficult to say.

Chu Ci strolled up to the second floor, holding a chainsaw in his right hand and his left hand in his pocket, seemingly understated and defenseless, but in fact, his eyes quickly swept over every corner that might hide people and monsters, including the blind spots in ordinary people's consciousness, such as the ceiling or the cracks in the wardrobe where even children can't hide.

After experiencing the end of the world, Chu Ci has erased all kinds of bad habits that are easy to kill in advance.

On the second floor of the health center are two wards plus a public rest area, the doors and windows are intact, the environment is very clean, except for a little messy escape, there are no extra traces, Chu Ci sniffed the residual breath in the air, except for the medicine and some faint smell of blood, there is nothing abnormal.

There are carrion monsters downstairs to watch the door, and as long as the doors and windows are locked upstairs, it is generally safe.

Chu Ci is very satisfied with this temporary residence.

Closing all the windows and blocking them with tables, chairs, and bed tables, leaving only one window facing the main door and poking out just enough to reach the eight-legged sword spider, Chu Ci controlled the eight-legged sword spider and carefully sent all the day's harvest to the second floor with steel claws.

The glowing light emitted by hundreds of skulls illuminated the dim rest area, and Chu Ci stood in the middle of countless bones, like an evil demon, but what he was going to do next could indeed be called a 'demonic act'.

"First Order [Smash]"

"First Order [Concussion]"

Chu Ci floated an alchemy formation pattern on the palm of his left and right hands, and as he manipulated it with both hands, it merged into the chain chainsaw and waved!

Bang bang bang ~~~

One by one, the skulls exploded, and the escaping soul fire filled the room like fireflies in the night.

Chu Ci inhaled hard, and a rope of spiritual power emerged from his eyebrows, turning into a large net, capturing the soulfire that was helpless again and again, purified through the alchemy array, and turned into a clean soul power, all of which poured into the sea of spiritual consciousness.

The calm sea of spiritual consciousness set off waves, and at the same time, in Chu Ci's consciousness, the perception of external elements became clearer, and as soon as his mind moved, Chu Ci began to operate his self-created meditation method, the tidal meditation method.

The spiritual nodule [planet] that symbolized Chu Ci's rank began to rotate, and countless soul power poured into the planet, and then escaped one circle after another circle of essence spiritual power, opening up layers of ripples, and the manic elemental particles that had not yet subsided in the elemental storm were pulled by the spiritual power and gradually poured into Chu Ci's body.

The whole process was not comfortable, and the manic elemental particles poured into Chu Ci's body, like grains of iron sand passing through his body, which was the price of forcibly absorbing the elemental particles that had not yet calmed down.

It was very painful, but after the pain, Chu Ci's body would be tempered by the elements to improve his physical strength.

The part where the priest stores his magic power is in the dantian of the human body.

In fact, the so-called magic power, mana power, spiritual power, fighting energy, and internal force are actually the absorption and purification of elemental particles by different practitioners using different meditation methods, and in the final analysis, they are all 'reuse' of elemental particles.

Therefore, no matter what occupation it is, it is to store spiritual power in the sea of spiritual consciousness and energy in the dantian.

The mages who absorb the magic of elemental transformation are not as weak as many novels depict, on the contrary, the physique of the mages is no worse than that of any martial artist, they are only inferior to the means of close combat.

Chu Ci opened his eyes, and a faint dark light suddenly flashed in his pupils.

"Second order."

In his sea of spiritual consciousness, the rotation of the planet began to slow down, decreasing to one rotation every three minutes, creating a layer of ripples, and the spiritual power increased a little.

And Chu Ci's dantian is no longer empty and nothing, a thin layer of golden ** power vapor mist permeates Chu Ci's dantian, occupying most of the place.

"Name: Chu Ci

Race: Human

Class: Second-Order Alchemist

Vitality: 299 (300)

Mental Power: 1322 (1322)

Mana: 301 (570)

Skill: Omitted"

Chu Ci's background is already very deep, breaking through the second order is just a water grinding effort, and forcibly breaking through the rank with a large amount of soul power will not affect his future potential, it will only allow him to have more means now.
