Chapter 18 Campuses
After some fighting, the giant mantis shrimp in the corner of the wall finally lay down, its body motionless.
Seeing that the mantis shrimp was no longer moving, Zhou Yunfeng breathed a sigh of relief: "I finally got killed, the crossbow arrows have been shot seventy-seven eighty-eight, and even a few bullets have been used, the vitality of this mantis shrimp is really not ordinarily strong!" If it weren't for the certainty of crawling slowly, it would have been terrifying......"
Although the mantis shrimp looked as if it was dead, the two of them still didn't dare to approach rashly, so they first got a long stick and stabbed it in the body, and when they finally made sure that it was completely unresponsive, they dared to walk over with confidence.
Walking to the corner of the wall, Zhou Yunfeng pulled out a small saber, pried off the two crystals embedded in the wall, put them in his pocket, and then worked with Lu Xing to get the lower half of the mantis shrimp out of the hole and slowly drag it to the convenience store.
After making up enough three crystals again, he picked up a new triangular wooden frame, embedded the crystals in the holes, and smiled with satisfaction: "There are six crystals now, and in this Blue Moon period, you should be able to get a good improvement!" ”
For them, the role of crystals is very important, under the high-intensity radiation, the strengthening of physical fitness, will become faster, perhaps the ability will become stronger, in this special era, all living things are evolving and changing, only become stronger, the more capital to live.
After placing the three crystals, Zhou Yunfeng walked to Lu Xing's side, and at this time he was squatting next to the corpse of the sparrowtail mantis shrimp, as if he was studying something.
"How's the research going?" Zhou Yunfeng also squatted down and asked.
"Well, these two traps are very hard, and the cone at the end is very sharp, and if you can remodel and assemble them, you should be able to make two bayonet guns, which is a very good material. And these carapaces are also good, hard but not very heavy, suitable for use as shields. ”
"That's the meat in the end! I'm not sure if I can eat it yet. After talking about the materials, Lu Xing mentioned the meat of the mantis shrimp again.
The flesh inside the carapace is plump and looks very firm and attractive.
"I think it should be edible, the mantis shrimp is already edible, fried or cooked tastes very good, I used to go to the market to buy some and go back to get it myself."
Looking at the so much meat inside, Zhou Yunfeng's saliva was about to stay, the mantis shrimp he usually eats is not big, and there is not much meat on his body, these big ones are definitely very refreshing to eat.
"Originally, it was edible, but now it's different from the past, no one can guarantee that the shrimp meat is not poisonous, it's better not to mess around, keep it for now, and then see the situation later." Lu Xing said.
"Don't worry, I'm not a fool, how can I experiment with myself." Zhou Yunfeng smiled, although he was greedy, he also knew how to measure, just talking about it, it was absolutely impossible to be a guinea pig for experiments.
"The material on this mantis shrimp is so hard, do you have a way to deal with it now?"
Zhou Yunfeng then asked, Lu Xing just said that these materials are very hard and suitable for weapons and armor, but the harder the things, the more difficult it is to handle, especially now that they don't have high-grade equipment.
"I don't know, you bring me the toolbox, I'll try it later, I think there is a way to do something simple, but it is possible to do it well." Lu Xing replied.
"It doesn't matter, it can be used for the time being, I can't manage so much now, and I can change it in the future if I have the conditions." Zhou Yunfeng felt that as long as it could bring some life-saving effects, there was no need to worry so much.
"I'll do my best, you go to sleep first, I'll guard it alone, and deal with the materials by the way, and then I will go to sleep when you wake up, and we'll take turns to rest." Lu Xing nodded.
After discussing, Zhou Yunfeng spread something on the ground as a sleeping mat, and deliberately looked at the notebook before going to bed, since before, he would confirm it two or three times a day, and now it is no exception.
As a result, no new discoveries were made, and the notebook still did not show any new diary or other changes, except for the color change on the cover.
The body was already very tired, and not long after lying down, Zhou Yunfeng fell asleep.
When he woke up, seven or eight hours had passed, and Lu Xing had already separated the shell of the whole mantis shrimp, and the meat in the carapace had also been completely taken out and placed on the table next to him, weighing about seventy or eighty pounds.
"You're going to sleep, is there anything I need help with?" Zhou Yunfeng stretched his waist and walked to Lu Xing's side with a yawn.
…………
"You deal with the meat, it's best to divide it into a few bags, you can't help anything else, go outside when you have time, see if there are any practical tools, or hard metal materials, I may need it later, remember to bring weapons when you go out, be careful." Lu Xing thought about it and said.
"No problem, I'll go find the keys to the two cars outside." Hearing this, Zhou Yunfeng nodded.
"Don't think about the two cars, such a low temperature, gasoline can't be vaporized at all, can't catch fire, I just pried the car door and tried it, it can't start at all, it's better to be honest and practical."
Lu Xing shook his head, just now he went out for a walk, both cars have tried, even if it can start, there may be trouble halfway, the road is icy and it is easy to slip out of accidents.
"Hey...... All right. Knowing the result, Zhou Yunfeng sighed helplessly, when he entered the server before, he was paying attention to the two cars, and now it is in vain.
Walking to the side of the mantis shrimp meat, Zhou Yunfeng stretched out his fingers, poked them a few times, and then held them up with both hands and weighed them: "Well, it's very strong and elastic, if you can eat it, it should taste very good when cooked!" It is estimated to weigh more than seventy pounds. ”
Put the meat down, take out the sharp saber, and start to divide a whole shrimp meat so that it can be packed and taken away.
Eventually, the meat of the mantis shrimp was divided into 10 pieces, about the same size, in several large plastic bags.
"Forget it, it's better to compress a part so that it doesn't spoil."
Zhou Yunfeng thought about it, now that the temperature is very low, these meats can be kept for a long time, but it is best to compress them into the notebook, and there will definitely be no deterioration.
Take out the thin piece of paper sandwiched on the gold page of the notebook, place it on the ground for a few seconds, and then restore it into a large bag, Zhou Yunfeng took out some of the things inside, replaced it with half of the mantis shrimp meat into it, and finally compressed it back into the notebook.
After processing the shrimp, he grabbed his weapon, pushed open the door and walked out of the convenience store, looked left and right for a few moments, and then walked in a certain direction.
After leaving for almost an hour, Zhou Yunfeng returned to the convenience store, this service area is relatively small, and he didn't find any useful tools, but he turned over a medical kit, and it was not completely fruitless.
Lu Xing only slept for five hours before getting up, continuing the work he hadn't done before, and in order to get the materials ready, they stayed at the convenience store for a whole day before setting off again.
The materials on the body of the mantis shrimp were made into two bayonet guns by Lu Xing, as well as two simple shields, the shape is not good-looking, the color is very bright, and it doesn't feel much weight when you pick it up, but it is very strong, and it can't be pierced with crossbow arrows at close range.
When everything was ready, the two finally left the service area, re-embarked on the high-speed kilometers, and continued towards their destination.
The temperature is decreasing day by day, and they walk less and less every day, but fortunately, they did not encounter any ** trouble, and it snowed lightly on July 10.
The snow was two whole days, causing snow on the roads, and they walked more and more slowly, not even twenty kilometers a day.
…………
"There are still about 60 kilometers to go, and it looks like we won't be able to finish this month, so let's wait for next month. It's too cold outside now, and it's starting to snow again, so you'll have to find a place to escape and wait for the temperature to warm up before heading out. In the temporary tent, Lu Xing sat next to the electric heater and said while rubbing his hands.
Today is July 26th, the temperature outside is already below minus 30 degrees, and with the snow on the road, it is very difficult to carry so many things forward, and there are still about 60 kilometers to reach the destination.
There is still a remote trail to go after walking, and then you can get to your hometown, and according to the current situation, it is not wise to continue on the road.
"That's all there is to it! In the next month, I guess I will find a place nearby, just like last time. Zhou Yunfeng didn't expect that he would not be able to rush back to his hometown before August.
If you hadn't encountered the tunnel collapse at the beginning and drove all the way back, it is estimated that you would have arrived in one day, and you would not have had the trouble you have now, and of course you would not have gotten the other three crystals.
Forget about abandoning the car, you could have arrived earlier, but Lu Xing was injured, and he encountered snowy weather in a row, people are not as good as the sky, and the trouble along the way has hardly been broken, so that it has not arrived yet.
Lu Xing took out his mobile phone, baked it in front of the electric heater for a short while, and finally successfully turned it on, starting from half a month ago, because the temperature outside was too low, the mobile phone automatically turned off, and it could only be used when the temperature was high enough.
After turning on the phone, he checked the map that had been downloaded inside, and Zhou Yunfeng also gathered around the plate to check it together.
"There's a third-rate university school district nearby, so let's go here." After looking at the map for a few minutes, Lu Xing found a suitable place.
"Okay, you take note." Zhou Yunfeng nodded.
He knew why Lu Xing chose here, there should be no students in the university now, it was gone after the last Blue Moon appeared, and this university is located in a remote area, there are not many people living there, so there will not be many polluters.
The most important thing is that it is relatively close to their current location, only about 20 kilometers, and there must be a supermarket on campus in the college, and the food is guaranteed, which is undoubtedly a very suitable place to evacuate.
After deciding on the location, the two waited in the tent for an hour, and on the small wooden shelf where the crystal was placed, another one absorbed the radiation energy and began to release high-intensity evolutionary radiation, and they got as close to the crystal as possible to ensure that they could all receive the benefits of radiation.
"For the fifth time!" Zhou Yunfeng silently calculated in his heart, this is the second time since the appearance of the blue moon, the fifth time that a crystal has absorbed radiation energy, the first to absorb the two that he got at the beginning, the polluting radiation is absorbed by the notebook, there is no need to slowly offset under the evolutionary radiation, compared to the four that he got later, it is faster to absorb the energy.
With the acceleration effect of every three crystals, according to the calculation of the last blue moon calendar, Zhou Yunfeng felt that each crystal could absorb at least five times of radiation energy, which was roughly two more than others who were unaware, and the efficiency was much higher.
If this Blue Moon period, the pattern is the same as last time, six crystals are almost enough to bring thirty short-term high-intensity radiation to the two of them, which will have a significant effect on the improvement of physical fitness.
After the crystal released the radiant energy, Zhou Yunfeng put away the wooden shelf and the crystal, then dismantled the tent, went on the road again, and walked towards the location of the university he had just seen on the map.
The location of the university was only about 20 miles away from them, not very far, but they didn't see the university campus in the distance until July 28, and they stopped twice to rest in between.
Through the telescope, Zhou Yunfeng found that there was a small village in front of him, scattered old houses, roughly dozens of households, for the sake of safety, he discussed with Lu Xing, and chose to go around the side of the mountain road to the back of the university, and then climb over the wall from that position to avoid possible polluters near the village as much as possible.
Successfully entering the university campus, they cautiously walked towards the teaching building, the whole campus was quiet, not a single living person was seen, a total of four teaching buildings, each with seven floors, just choose one of them and walked over.
