0270 Upgrade

White light, Zhang Chen returned to the real world. The still prosperous post-apocalyptic Shenzhen-Hong Kong city. It's like the Titanic that is about to hit an iceberg, but Zhang Chen just wants to be a spectator.

The wind was still strong outside the window. Zhang Chen turned off the system.

On the morning of the next day, after Zhang Chen got up in the morning, Zhang Chen recruited Zhao Hui first, and still went to the supermarkets and wholesale markets in the rich area to buy various supplies. There is always something that must be done. Always prepare for the worst.

By ten o'clock in the morning of this day, the basement of Naruishan No. 9 was finally filled.

Zhao Hui sat in the driver's seat in front of the truck and said to Zhang Chen, who was standing at the door of the supermarket, "Boss, the basement is full of ......" Zhang Chen nodded, the sky was very cloudy, and the wind was like a falling ball, and it actually rebounded from the bottom to the top. So his and Zhao Hui's hair was floating up.

"Let's drive the car back. You can rest. ”

Zhao Hui looked at Zhang Chen at this time and said, "By the way, boss, don't you go to watch today's swordsmanship competition?" ”

"No, no." Zhang Chen put his hands in his purse, looked at the blue street sign next to him and said, "I'm not interested." ”

"Uh...... I mean, Fang Yue, now in the semi-finals. She is still in today's game. Don't you go and check it out? ”

"Fang Yue has reached the semifinals?" Zhang Chen looked at Zhao Hui who was half-leaning out of the car window with some surprise. Zhao Hui saw that Zhang Chen didn't seem to believe it, and said, "Really, boss, she really got in." I only heard about it last night, and I thought you knew it all. Many veterans who have practiced swords for many years can't beat her. ”

"Is she that good?" Zhang Chen was a little unconvinced.

Zhao Hui, "It was you who taught him the "Five Mountains Sword Technique", which is really too strong. You know, almost all the teachers in the Martial Arts Academy are talking about this set of swordsmanship. Almost all of Fang Yue's enemies said so. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦οΌŸβ€ Zhang Chen didn't understand what was going on until this time, "It's just a few simple tricks to teach." What Zhang Chen didn't know was that with his current swordsmanship literacy, the moves he selected and the swordsmanship he guided were difficult for ordinary people to compare.

But Zhang Chen's words made Zhao Hui stunned for a while, thinking. A few simple tricks? She had only been practicing for a little over a week before reaching the semi-finals. This sword technique is actually only simple?

Zhang Chen thought for a moment at this time and said, "Okay." Where is she now? ”

Zhao Hui, "On the fifth floor of the Times Building, prepare for the competition. It seems that the name of the semi-finals will be decided today. As he spoke, Zhang Chen saw the LCD display on a tall building in the distance. There is an ongoing sword fighting competition on it.

"Okay. I'll give it a trip. ”

Times Mansion is a famous theater building in Shenzhen-Hong Kong City, built in 1999. It was once built as the venue for the world-famous baritone Poirotti's world tour.

It is an important place to go in Shenzhen-Hong Kong City. However, there is a behind-the-scenes narrative that the current mayor of Shenzhen-Hong Kong, Wang Hongtong, appears to have a stake in the building. Of course, these are just legends.

But a semi-final entry competition can use such a large formation, and the high standard of the game is already very amazing.

People are like this, as long as there are more onlookers, other people who are not interested in the game at all will also go to watch. This is herd mentality.

On this day, in the Times Building, Fang Yue was with Fang Li and Zhang Chen, and the dozen or so students who were temporarily recruited. Fang Yue's recent successive achievements are acceptable. But with her sword practice time in such a short time, she can achieve such a result, and many people are very surprised.

Her sword fighting experience is obviously extremely poor. And anyone with a discerning eye can see that she has only been practicing swords for a short time, and she has not eaten many things thoroughly. But she just relied on this set of swordsmanship to break through to the door of the semifinals.

The most talked about by the judges these days is probably her swordsmanship. "I heard that her swordsmanship is called "Wuyue Swordsmanship", but I don't know what the origin of the teacher is. It's so powerful. ”

"yes. I don't think this little girl's strength is strong. The sword practice is not sophisticated enough. Her opponent couldn't take her. ”

An old man who was over fifty years old next to him sighed at this time, "In addition to the "Miao Family Sword Technique" and the "Rouyun Sword Technique", this set of "Wuyue Sword Technique" is probably the best sword technique I have ever seen in my life." ”

The first thing Zhang Chen said when he found Fang Yue was: "Listen to me, abstain now." ”

"Why?" Fang Yue's eyes widened.

Zhang Chen frowned, "Don't ask why." Give up immediately. Otherwise, you will be doomed. When Zhang Chen spoke, he didn't mean to laugh. The other people in the room, such as Fang Li and the like, didn't dare to come out.

Fang Yue finally listened to Zhang Chen's words. But people seem to be quite unhappy. Zhang Chen then gave Fang Li their order. "Return to Seosan No. 9."

For Fang Yue, these students. Zhang Chen could only persuade them to stay away from the game. After the students left.

Zhang Chen looked at the white stone wall next to him in the corridor outside the building. The wall was cool, with the illusion of jade. Fang Yue's face was very white, and it was covered with an expression of grievance. By this time, the other students had already left. Zhang Chen didn't expect that she was still here alone.

Xin Dong'er said next to Zhang Chen. "That student of yours is ...... over there"

When Zhang Chen looked over, he saw Fang Yue. The expression on the girl's face made me a little helpless, "You will have a chance in the future." Forget it this time. In fact, Zhang Chen had already told her this kind of thing several times. Age-wise. The two men are actually very close to each other.

"I know......" Fang Yue whispered. She put one hand on the edge of the tower.

Zhang Chen clasped his hands to his chest and looked at the cloudy sky and flying sand and rocks outside the glass window. "There are some things you don't know. This game is too bad in time. You're going to get hurt if you keep going. If possible, move to the Azure District these days. "Although the Azure District is an ordinary area, it is the farthest away from the direction of the North Styx. From Zhang Chen's point of view, this direction is undoubtedly the safest.

"Let's go back early."

……

Xu Zhongguang came again. When he came to find Zhang Chen.

It was Xu Zhongying who drove him. She was really nervous, too. The sky outside the car window was very overcast, and she really felt that things were too strict. So I would like to finally confirm the authenticity. "This kind of information can't be dumbfounded, although I also know that it's not easy to ask too bluntly. But now is the time not to ask directly. ”

Zhang Chen was in the corridor on the forty-fourth floor. It was cloudy outside, so the qiΔ“ in the corridor seemed to be dark, and even the shadows didn't look obvious. The sound of the wind outside the window sounded like the roar of some kind of gloomy wind from hell.

Xu Zhongguang found him sweating and said, "Boss, I know that there are some things that should not be asked too bluntly. But I really don't want to talk around. There are so many people involved in this. It's too broad. After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Chen. Then when he was about to ask, Zhang Chen spoke first.

"Actually, that's all I can say. They are in the direction of the North Styx, arriving about a day later. If you can, put the most important armored vehicles and the like here, and the artillery to cover it, but I don't have much to say about the mutated zombies. I don't know them very well myself. Zhang Chen's voice was very faint, like the sunshine outside.

Xu Zhongguang gritted his teeth and finally asked a straightforward question, "How many mutated zombies are there?" ”

Zhang Chen looked at his own shadow on the glass window and said, "There are at least twenty or more." None of the strength is below the guy I dealt with last time. ”

"What~???" Xu Zhongguang definitely thought that he had heard it wrong. "You...... Are you kidding? ”

Zhang Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "Do you think I like to tell jokes very much?" ”

Xu Zhongguang was stunned and could barely make a sound. More than 20 ??? What to deal with............

Zhang Chen stood in front of the window and said lightly, "Take out all the methods you can think of." Immediately ask Guangshen Mansion for help. The regular army can always cope with it a little more. You've got one more day. ”

For human beings, there is a situation called being caught off guard, and there is a word called being prepared. Even the weakest person will do his best to minimize the loss after getting accurate information about the opponent's attack. Of course, this is the lowest, and how low it can be is related to the strength of this person.

Xu Zhongguang sweated and ran to take the elevator. He needed to talk to Xu Zhongying about it immediately. It's just too damn terrible.

……

The basement of the Human Survival Alliance

White suit, "My lion opened his mouth." Unexpectedly, even the mayor and the municipal party committee came together. We say the requirements. They all said yes at once. But they ask us to help them deal with their problems in an emergency. What to do? ”

The old man sitting on the boss's chair said in a cold voice, "I've been preparing for so long, and I'm so sorry if I don't send those three zombies out to let them suffer a little loss." If we don't let them know, it's awesome. How can we reflect our value. ”

The white suit sneered on the side, "These two guys seem to have really gotten some information." What else do you want to make a reputation? ”

"Hmph, let's let them fish it first. Give so many benefits. It's better to have a chance to show them what we're capable of. ”

The white suit nodded yes to the side.

The old man muttered, "Still. You have to ask for the news and reporters in the whole city to report it. Otherwise, the money we invested in the swordsmanship conference before would have been wasted. ”

"That's right."

Old man. "If you want our sword god to go to the North Styx, it must be broadcast live."

……

In the direction of the North River Styx, the tallest building is the Blue Sky Building.

The 49-storey skyscraper was originally used to build a state-of-the-art business center and hotel apartments, with views of the North River, but was eventually abandoned due to the 97 financial crisis, and thus became a "ghost building". Today, the walls of the 174-metre-tall building are covered in graffiti and are inhabited by illegal occupiers. It is now a huge refugee camp.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of this day, Zhang Chen entered the Qingtian Building. He chose this place not for anything else, but for the reason that it was the tallest building near the North Styx.

Inside, the exterior of this skyscraper has been plastered with white tiles. Inside, however, there are only gray-black concrete walls. The ground is also cement. It's very rough. There is standing water inside the ground floor. There are large swaths of household garbage floating around the water's edge. Zhang Chen and Xin Dong'er went up the stairs from the other side. There was still plenty of time, and there was no need for him to climb the wall from the outside.

Take your time. Some traces of urine can be seen on the concrete wall from time to time. In some places, the cement has fallen off, revealing the red brick walls inside. There was a stench everywhere.

From the second floor, there are small temporary sheds inside. There are so many of them that they look as dense as an ant's nest. Some oil-stained towels and clothes were casually placed on the wall, very dirty.

There were many men and women with strange eyes and vigilant eyes watching Zhang Chen and Xin Dong'er walk by in the aisle with the eyes of a beast looking at its prey. When Zhang Chen walked by, a strong man in a dirty red vest even deliberately blocked the way. Zhang Chen completely ignored him and forced himself in front of him.

I don't know when there were more than a dozen people around the area.

Zhang Chen knew that he had encountered a snake on the ground, so he walked straight away. All the way to the strong man's chin. The man said loudly, "Boy......" He should have wanted to say some robbery terminology. But Zhang Chen waved his hand casually. And his men flew out. The people around him were all slowly leaning towards Zhang Chen. At this time, they all stopped. No one wants to trade at a loss. If the other party is too strong, even the worst ruffian knows not to touch it.

Zhang Chen was going to the highest floor. The staircase has no railings, only bare cement slabs. And when Zhang Chen and Xin Dong'er walked to the twenty-fourth floor, there were no stairs on it.

The empty concrete platform hangs in the air, to a strange symbol.

When Zhang Chen and Xin Dong'er came up, there were some inexplicable men and women downstairs watching from a distance. It's just that these people walk more slowly. When they arrived, all they could see was the empty concrete platform hanging in front of them. Zhang Chen and Xin Dong'er are gone. These people who followed each other looked at each other a little.

Forty-ninth floor.

Cement red brick windows. The wind screamed and rushed in through one window of the building without any hindrance, all the way out of the other. Just to a group of crazy people who are running for their lives.

In the distance from the left window of the building is the Imperial Department Store in the wealthy area. Outside the walls, there is a huge display screen playing live. The screen was 300 square meters in size. 115-degree wide angle. So Zhang Chen can see the TV content clearly even without a telescope.

The left rear part of the building faces the North Styx. "It's still good from a good perspective." Zhang Chen took out the binoculars and looked at it. Xin Dong'er looked out beside him.

"It's ideal from an angle." Zhang Chen said this to Xin Dong'er, although she may not be interested. But her pretty little mouth smiled anyway and said, "You decide what to do......

Zhang Chen opened his storage space. There's a lot of stuff in there that I just got my hands on yesterday. For example, the military tent used for camping. "Looks like we're going to have to get our own place to live."

"Hmmm......"

Skyscrapers are already huge. At this time, Zhang Chen unfolded a large tent with an area of 50 square meters. Steel structure that can withstand force 8 winds. It's just that Zhang Chen hasn't done this kind of thing before. Fortunately, there is a manual for the big tent. At this time, I was busy with the instruction manual for forty minutes, and the matter was finally done. The large green tent was erected in the direction of the North Styx. It was supposed to be a large balcony, but there was no railing at this time. But the location of the view is excellent. On the left, you can see the huge faΓ§ade TV. On the right is the North Styx.

"That's it." Zhang Chen is quite satisfied with this tent. After entering, he took a telescope from his own space and looked in the direction of the North Styx River from the observation window of the tent, and his vision was extremely wide. It can be said that as long as it is a qiΔ“ coming from that direction. There was no way he could not see it.

Xin Dong'er was very interested in this tent and looked everywhere. Zhang Chen sat down, took out the quilt and other things from the space, and laid them out. After returning from the Atlas yesterday. There was one more thing he hadn't done. That is to level up a kung fu with experience.

Although the people who came to Shenzhen-Hong Kong City this time were all black-robed, the people in Tsing Yi were not among them. But with Friday's evasive attitude towards it. It is better to do all that you can.

With Zhang Chen's own feelings, "Moving in the Sky" is the first choice. This kung fu can not only make people turn in the air when escaping for their lives, but also pull up several feet on the ground. can increase the distance of the jump. The role in the offensive is also extremely strong. Generally. At this time, learning this kung fu is the first choice.

Zhang Chen had experience points of 5,700 on his body at this time. Now that you've decided to practice, there's nothing to say. He opened the system and clicked to learn "Horizontal Shift". The system shows that the amount of experience points required to practice "Horizontal Shift" is 1,000 and 5, and "Easy Muscle Forging Chapter" requires 783 after discounting." Do you want to upgrade? ”

After Zhang Chen clicked to upgrade, there was a prompt sound in his ears. "Congratulations, you have practiced the first level of "Horizontal Movement", and your Essence Mastery is +5.You have obtained the skill "Horizontal Movement": You can forcibly move once in the air."

Zhang Chen was a little excited after hearing this prompt, he was originally sitting on the ground, and at this time he forcibly performed his skills and performed the "horizontal movement" skill. The person actually flew more than a meter from the ground. Zhang Chen grabbed the 'wall' next to him casually. Then he let go and let himself fall, "It really works!! ”

He had a lot of experience points left on this day, and then upgraded for the second time, "The second level of "Horizontal Shift", you need two thousand experience. After the discount of "Yi Muscle Forging Bone Chapter", it costs 1045 points. Do you want to upgrade? ”

Zhang Chen then clicked OK. There is a prompt in the ear that the upgrade is successful.

Zhang Chen rose all the way to the third time. The third level requires three thousand experience. After clicking on the upgrade again, "You have reached the third level of "Horizontal Shift", Xiaocheng. Your Light Mastery +5.Your skill 'Horizontal Movement' has been enhanced. You can forcibly move twice in the air. ”

So far, there are 1,900 experience points left in Zhang Chen's space. Zhang Chen took a look at the system display. At this point, it is no longer enough to upgrade the light skill of "Moving in the Sky".

And Zhang Chen's light skill specialization has also reached 49.Different from others, such as sword mastery. The effect of light gong specialization is often more obvious on the outside, and after Zhang Chen stood up at this time, he felt as light as a swallow. I don't know how much stronger it is than just now.

"Nineteen hundred points left. Do you want to upgrade again? Zhang Chen looked at it again in the system. In fact, among all Zhang Chen's martial arts up to this time, only one "Nine Yin White Bone Grasp" has been 100% completed, so it seems that he is not proficient in terms of practice. The closest one in his system to 100% consummation at this time is "Gecko Swimming Wall Skill", which is not outstanding in the original work, and can be regarded as Zhang Chen's long-term life-saving mastery.

"Do you want to take this kung fu to the top?" Zhang Chen hesitated slightly. "Just take it to the top. This kung fu is so important to save your life in actual combat. It's always bad if you don't get home. ”

So Zhang Chen then upgraded "Gecko Swimming Wall Gong" again.

"Congratulations on your 'Gecko Swimming Wall Skill' on reaching level eight. +1 for your Light Mastery"

"Congratulations on your promotion to the ninth level of the Gecko Swimming Wall Skill. +1 for your Light Mastery"

"Congratulations on your 'Gecko Swimming in the Wall' to the tenth level. +1 for your Light Mastery. You have reached the Great Perfection of Gecko Swimming on the Wall. You've got the final skill of Gecko Swim the Wall, 'Walking on the Wall'. You can walk upright on a wall, unaffected by gravity. You walk upright on a wall at the same speed as you do on land. ”

"Uh...... Isn't that an exaggeration? Zhang Chen thought to himself, walking upright on the wall? He came out of the tent and walked slowly to the concrete wall next to it. Cement slag on the walls that have not been renovated can be seen everywhere.

Zhang Chen hesitated to go up. And Xin Dong'er was looking curiously at the cloth window in the tent at this time. Then I saw Zhang Chen raise his feet and walked to the wall. Even she was a little shocked.

Zhang Chen walked up a few steps so slowly, it felt very strange, it was really like walking on the ground. He jumped to his feet. When a person leaves the air, he immediately falls. But he immediately performed the kung fu of "Moldy Empty Shift". The man immediately slammed back to the wall.

Then he ran up the wall as fast as he could, and it felt like Usain Bolt the Flyer was on the field. And from time to time from here to there, from side to side, from side to side.

Xin Dong'er was almost stunned. (To be continued......)
