Lin Qian asked: "How many days does it generally take to evolve from a beginner to an advanced ability?" ”

Zhou Xuan sighed: "It's hard to say, after ordinary people evolve into primary abilities, their digestion ability will be greatly improved, and at this time, the higher the level of the monster they eat, the faster the ability will evolve, and vice versa, the slower it will be." It's easier for a beginner to evolve to an intermediate one.,Generally, you only need to eat one or two first-order monsters.,But it's slower to evolve from an intermediate ability to a high-level ability.,If you eat a first-order monster every day,It's about a month.。 ”

"So slow? Aren't we going to stay here for a month? ”

Zhou Xuan glared at her: "I said, this is impossible, as long as the base is powered off, we have to go, even if the power is uninterrupted, there are still six or seven hundred ordinary people here, how to solve their daily food?" ”

"And how many days are you going to stay?" Lin Qian asked.

Zhou Xuan stretched out three fingers: "Three days at most!" ”

Lin Qian was almost confused: "Didn't you say that it takes a month to evolve into a high-level ability?" ”

Zhou Xuan explained: "That's the time it takes to eat a first-order monster, and if you change to a second-order and third-order monster, it won't take that long at all." ”

"You're saying you can evolve into a high-level ability in three days?" Lin Qian blinked incredulously.

"It's okay to eat a third-order monster, if it's a fourth-order monster, you won't need it for a day, but that's impossible, no one can kill a fourth-order monster now."

"Counter-weapon weapons don't work?"

"Anti-materiel rifles are not good, tank guns are about the same with armor-piercing shells."

After Zhou Xuan finished speaking, he added: "The situation is different from yesterday, yesterday was basically some low-level monsters, and now there are more than a hundred third-order monsters outside, and the anti-materiel rifle will definitely not be used anymore, which will attract the two fourth-order monsters in the distance, and at that time, none of us will want to escape." ”

Without waiting for Lin Qian to continue asking, Zhou Xuan concluded: "The matter of hunting third-order monsters will be put aside for the time being, I am a little reluctant to deal with second-order monsters now, so let's wait until everyone has evolved into middle-level abilities." I heard that last night, there were two people with special abilities, and they were both frozen air, which is good news, as long as they evolve again, it will be much easier to deal with third-order monsters at that time. ”

Stretching, Zhou Xuan stood up and walked downstairs: "Let's go!" It's time to prepare food for those who refuse to eat human flesh, you can't really starve them to death, right? ”

"I know that you are a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person!" Lin Qian stood up and quipped.

Zhou Xuan shrugged his shoulders helplessly and went to discuss with Yang Li.

In fact, there is nothing to discuss, there is a person in the building who is a high-level ability, and he can barely enter and exit the building, and the others are still beginners, not much better than different people, and they can't help at all.

In the end, the task of going out to find food and food had to be completed by him alone.

With a sheet in his arms as a burden, he walked out of the alley where he killed the bloody corpse yesterday.

Because the blood corpses in the alley had been cleared once yesterday, only a few new low-level blood corpses were wandering around at the moment.

Easily dispose of them, send the corpses up the building, and go around the alley and farther away.

The food and supplies in the nearby places have long been swept away by the people in the base, and he must go further away to find food.

Outside the alley is a street called Yunlai Street, which is not very spacious, and the west side of this street happens to meet the main street on the right side of the eastern defense line, so there were also a lot of bloody corpses pouring into here yesterday.

However, because I was squeezed here by the blood corpses outside, I couldn't get out, so I didn't eat much flesh and blood, and the level was much lower than those monsters in the base who had eaten a full meal.

After observing it around, there were only five second-order monsters on this nearly five hundred meters long street, including the three killed in the alley last night, a total of eight second-order monsters.

There wasn't even a single third-order monster, all of them were low-level blood corpses that didn't pose a threat to the circle.

Zhou Xuan didn't plan to go out at either end of the street, so he only had to deal with a monster near the exit of the alley.

After a full meal last night, Zhou Xuan was in a good state today, and it didn't take much effort to get the second-order strength-type blood corpse, dragging the corpse into the alley, crossing the street, getting into the gap between the two buildings, jumping over the fence behind it, and the air around him was immediately much fresher.

Behind the fence is a large construction site, the size of two football fields, with two unfinished buildings in between, all of which have not yet been removed.

Because of the fence, there are not many bloody corpses on the construction site, and they are basically construction workers on the construction site.

Zhou Xuan counted them, there were almost more than a hundred, and there were only two first-order mutant blood corpses among them, compared to the overwhelming corpses outside, this place could really be regarded as a pure land.

In the southwestern corner of the site, there are several makeshift dormitory buildings and workers' canteens made of hollow bricks and plastic tiles.

The wooden door of the cafeteria was open, and bloody corpses could be faintly seen dangling inside.

Zhou Xuan was excited and rushed into the door of the cafeteria.

It is clear that this place has not been swept yet, otherwise there would be no bloody corpses in the cafeteria.

All the bloody corpses in Qingguang, including a knife dog with a dog chain at the door, ran into the back kitchen to take a look, and immediately closed their mouths with joy.

There are dozens of bags of rice neatly stacked against the wall, as well as all kinds of fruits and vegetables, due to the long time of placement, the vegetables and fruits have long been rotten, and the rice has not become moldy, so it looks like there is no problem.

This amount of rice should be enough for the people in the base to eat for several days, and Zhou Xuan no longer has to look for food elsewhere, which is a waste of time and a lot of risk.

And it's not far from the building, just across the street, and the main thing is that there are no high-level monsters on the road, which is convenient for transportation.

As long as the section of Yunlai Street near the mouth of the alley is cleared, a few more people can come and bring the rice back.

However, he soon became unhappy, because the water source in the city had long been cut off, and not only did there be no water in the building, but also the taps in the cafeteria here.

How do you cook rice without water? You can't let the people in the building eat rice, right?

Looking at the bags of rice, I was extremely depressed, there was everything in the cafeteria, pots and pans, but there was no water.

This feeling is like a stripped beauty lying on the bed with her legs wide open, but her trouser belt can't be untied.

After walking around the cafeteria for a while, Zhou Xuan came to the back of the house.

"Hold a grass!"

I didn't expect to find an unexpected surprise, there is actually a well under the wall!

The well is only one meter in circumference and is covered with wooden planks.

"Don't be a dry well!" Circularly prayed secretly.

When I lifted the plank and looked inside, I saw a sparkling sparkle in the well of the black hole.

There is water!

He was finally relieved that the well looked like it had been dug by the workers themselves, it was neither too big nor deep, and it was probably dug as a backup water source when there was a shortage of water on the construction site in the past.

Although there is not much water in the well, it is still enough to cook rice.

Zhou Xuan happily ran back to report the good news and cleaned up the monsters on the road.

The survivors in the building were overjoyed to hear the news, especially those who refused to eat human flesh.

For them, food is secondary, and the main thing is water.

The city's automatic water supply system was paralyzed a week ago, and the base strictly restricts water supply to everyone. Many people have not been touched by a drop of water for a week, and they have reached the point where they have run out of oil and dried up.

Yang Li was also very happy, although after a night of hunger and torture, many people chose to eat human flesh, but there are still three or four hundred people still holding on, these people are very strong, it is almost impossible for them to change their minds, and their survival has become a great problem.

He also knew that it was dangerous to let Zhou Xuan go out to find food and water for these people, but he had to do it, as a soldier, and a righteous soldier, he could not abandon these innocent civilians.

Zhou Xuan's discovery undoubtedly brought hope to the survival of these people, and it can be regarded as helping him solve a heart problem.

When I heard that there was a water source, countless people volunteered to go with me.

Picking out dozens of survivors who had evolved into intermediate abilities, Zhou Xuan and these people carried a variety of tools to fill water, and smoothly entered the construction site along the route just now.

After entering the cafeteria, some people were left to cook on the fire, and some people were responsible for loading water and transporting it back.

The well water, which was not deep in the first place, will soon bottom out, and I don't know if there will be water tomorrow.

The liquefied gas in the kitchen was still sufficient, and everyone set up a large iron pot and began to wash rice and cook rice.

Pots and pots of rice turned into fragrant rice, and everyone was very busy, although as capable people, these rice could not arouse their appetite at all, but everyone's enthusiasm was still very high.

They were busy until noon, and only after everyone had eaten did they start to form a team to slaughter the bloody corpses at the construction site, and then process and eat them in the nearby canteen.

After the construction site was cleared, some people felt that it was safer than the hotel building, and proposed that everyone be transferred, but after careful consideration, it was decided to let everyone stay there for the time being.

After all, thousands of people have to climb down from the window one by one, which is indeed a huge project, and the more important reason is that there are refrigerators in every room of the hotel, and there is no one here, so it will be very inconvenient for everyone to live here and evolve.

Still, he agreed to transfer a few hundred ordinary survivors, and the rice and water were here, which was much more convenient and safe than staying in a hotel building.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, all the survivors were transferred, and the hotel was much more spacious.

Then, Zhou Xuan organized hundreds of people to clean up the blood corpses on Yunlai Street, and the eight second-order monsters were all dealt with by him, and the others were responsible for cleaning up the low-level blood corpses, so that the speed of clearing the monsters was very fast, everyone's ability was also exercised, and by the way, everyone's eating problem was solved, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

There are at least three or four thousand monsters on Yunlai Street, and the first-order monsters account for nearly a quarter, and they have eaten enough corpses at night, everyone has evolved one after another, and their strength has improved by leaps and bounds again, more than 1,800 of the more than 2,000 primary ability people have become intermediate ability, and the remaining nearly 300 people, half of them have not eaten enough, and more than 100 people have failed to evolve and unfortunately become blood corpses.

This is a helpless thing, evolution is risky, the more times you evolve, the greater the risk, there are always some people who lack resistance, and the corpse poisons the brain, and completely becomes a monster.
