Walking at night and day by day, the cold wind is bleak;

In just one night, the once blue sky was covered with thick dark clouds, and the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees, even if Zheng Yuanqing was an awakened person, he also felt a biting chill;

"Alas! Winter ...... overnight"

Smelling the obvious winter breath in the cold wind, Zheng Yuanqing couldn't help but sigh, the climate is becoming more and more abnormal, and the time of winter this year is nearly a month earlier than last year;

For many people in the last days, the early start of winter means reaching the end of life one day earlier!

"Didn't you notice? Desertification has also become more severe recently; The guide whispered;

"Yes, there was still wild grass in the farmland around here last year, and this year even the wild grass doesn't grow;" Zheng Yuanqing asked while packing up the pots and pans of the tent: "But I'm very strange, even if the climate is abnormal—"

"But shouldn't desertification be so bad that it happens every year?"

However, in the face of Zheng Yuanqing's question, the guide did not answer him "know" or "don't know" as usual, but rarely remained silent, or stopped talking......

Facing the guide's reaction, Zheng Yuanqing frowned a little puzzled, but he didn't ask anything more, he knew that he was too weak now, and some things, if he didn't know, it was a good thing for him;

So, Zheng Yuanqing silently packed up his things, then picked up a hoe and strode to the boulder-like young spider corpse, and then according to the method that the guide had said, split the head armor of the young spider, and then pulled out two crystal nuclei from the pile of pungent carrion little by little;

These two crystal nuclei are one large and one small, the big one is the size of a child's fist, purple-black, and weighs about two catties;

The small ones are only the size of a grain of rice and are dark black;

This is the beast crystal, which comes from the crystal nucleus in the body of the mutant beast, whether it is in size, weight, or value, it is much higher than the corpse crystal of the same level, and of course it is more difficult to obtain;

"Why does this mutant spider have two crystal nuclei?" Zheng Yuanqing asked suspiciously;

"The other one is from the other eggs, and this young spider hatches first, so it eats the crystal nuclei of the other eggs;" The guide replied;

"Eaten? Are you saying that the young spider ate you not because of the sound you make, but because of the energy fluctuations that resemble crystal nuclei you feel from you? Zheng Yuanqing was slightly startled, and then said;

"Yes, mutant beasts are more sensitive to the energy magnetic field of crystal nuclei, especially bugs;"

"That's why there are so many mutant beasts, but they rarely attack humans, and only fight zombies; They are there to eat the crystal nuclei of zombies' brains; The guide said;

Is this the food chain of the last days?

Aren't humans even qualified to enter the food chain?

Zheng Yuanqing couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and then said again: "I didn't even see a mouse last night, is it because of the existence of this crystal nucleus?" ”

"Yes, the crystal nucleus of any mutant beast emits a biomagnetic field that is terrifying to ordinary animals; Therefore, in the future, you will not have to worry about seeing these small animals again within a radius of 100 meters, with the crystal nucleus as the center; The guide said;

That's good!

Zheng Yuanqing nodded when he heard this, of course he knew that these seemingly inconspicuous things in peacetime could bring about catastrophe in this last days when there was a shortage of medical treatment;

Even the Awakened sometimes can't stop a malignant disease like the plague!

Therefore, although there are guides, Zheng Yuanqing still respects these little things......

"This big nucleus is so eye-catching, you might as well put it in storage; The small one can ensure that there is no mosquito breeding within a radius of 20 meters, which is enough for you; Wherever you put it on your body, I wrap it; The guide said;

"Well, good;" Zheng Yuanqing responded, and then asked, "What is the difference between a beast crystal and a corpse crystal?" Why doesn't the corpse crystal have this magnetic field? ”

"This question is very complicated, let's talk about the most basic, the biomagnetic field of the beast crystal is very extreme, either very active or very quiet; To paraphrase the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, this is heat and cold; ”

"For example, the beast crystals of mutant spiders belong to the cold nature, and these two beast crystals come from female young spiders, and their biomagnetic fields are even more delicate and quiet; Therefore, if these two beast crystals are used on you, it will be a waste at all; But if it is used on the female awakened, the effect is twice the result with half the effort; ”

"And the corpse crystal is like water, it is neither hot nor cold, it can be used by both male and female awakened people, but the effect is not as good as the beast crystal, and there is no such deterrent magnetic field;" The guide said simply;

Isn't this beast crystal for nothing?

Zheng Yuanqing shook his head, and then put the large beast crystal into the storage space with some pity; Then he turned over and rode on a motorcycle, carrying a stream of yellow dust all the way to the barren mountains in the north......

Four hours later......

Wow......

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Accompanied by the sound of surging water in the distance, Zheng Yuanqing guessed and tossed for a whole morning before finally hearing the sound of the Yellow River!

As the motorcycle drove up a small hill, Zheng Yuanqing saw the legendary Chengshan Port, however......

The sound of rushing water, barren hills and farmland, thick fog, gray and dilapidated tents, shacks, and ground nests that stretch for kilometers and ...... and the survivors, who were ragged and scrawny, wandering like dried corpses in the fog;

Is this a large survivor settlement?

This is simply the underworld!

"It's worse than a small settlement......"

Smelling the strong smell of water and rancid smell in the air, Zheng Yuanqing couldn't help frowning, if it weren't for the sign at the intersection that said "Chengshan Wharf", he really thought that he had crossed into the underworld!

"Someone is coming, southwest direction, ordinary people, with a short knife on their bodies;" At this moment, the guide reminded;

When Zheng Yuanqing heard this, he turned his head to look to the southwest, and soon saw a person walking from the side of a barren hill in the distance, who was smaller, dressed in a dirty, shabby coat and jeans that could still protect him from the wind and rain, and with a shoddy short knife pinned to his waist, and was riding an equally rusty mountain bike far away;

Bicycles, short knives......

Seeing that although the little man was thin, but not a thin body, Zheng Yuanqing quickly judged the identity of the person who came, this person was not an ordinary survivor, but should be a person from a certain force;

And at this moment, the little man also found that Zheng Yuanqing was looking at him, he first frowned and stopped far away, and after looking at Zheng Yuanqing, he rode over again, and then stopped at the bottom of the hillside, raised a black and thin and dry face, showed a mouth full of black and yellow teeth, and shouted with a smile:

"Hey! Eldest brother! You're the Awoken, aren't you? ”

"It's your first time at Chengshan Port, right? Need a guide? ”

"How about two nests a day?"
