Chapter 221: Survivors
The extracted nucleus faded from blue to grayish-white, turning into powder and sliding between the fingers.
It's okay to recover soul power, but the amount is too small.
Xia Ling felt it and came to a conclusion.
"System, can you tell me what's going on in this world?"
"Ding, host, if you don't want to fail the trial, this system recommends that you explore it yourself."
"Okay, okay, I'll do it myself."
Asking the system to no avail, he picked up the Daybreak Axe again and set off, this time preparing to go directly in the direction of the city center.
A cursory glance just now revealed that this was only the outer part of the inner circle of the city, not far from the real city center, and the walking corpses in the city were more densely distributed, so maybe there would be survivors.
Through a rough integration of information, he has roughly determined that he is in a northern megacity, and most likely the imperial capital.
If the two worlds are really highly similar, his current location is about outside the fourth ring of the imperial capital, and the location of the Dinghai area of the imperial capital in the previous life.
This is the only educational district that has two middle schools, two elementary schools and a kindergarten within a few blocks.
Approaching the middle school he had swept to before, and seeing the bloodstained handwriting at the school gate, he had completely determined his previous idea - the eighteenth school in the imperial capital.
In the relatively well-preserved teaching building, Xia Ling found the scattered textbooks, and after a cursory flip through them, he already knew the situation in this world.
It's basically the same as the Blue Star in the previous life, even the year is about the same.
Now you don't even need to collect a map, don't forget that he was a tour guide in his previous life, and mastering the traffic route overview of his city is a basic skill.
After condensing the Yuan Shen before, the memories of the past were completely engraved in his sea of consciousness as if they had been solidified, and they could be checked when they were needed.
In this way, as long as he finds another survivor and inquires about the specific situation of the current world disaster, the first mission issued by Kamiyama should be completed.
"System, can you hide the soul ring under my feet?"
With the Daybreak Axe in his hand and ready to strike, Summer Spirit continued to march in the direction of the city center.
"Ding, yes, the soul ring hiding system has been turned on, and the power of fate has been deducted."
The six soul rings of two purple, three black and one gold were originally suppressed by him close to the ground, but they were completely hidden after the hiding system was opened.
In addition, Xia Ling also changed into a relatively modern camouflage training uniform in the place just now.
Although the power suit of Douluo World is also suitable for combat, it is inevitably a little too conspicuous, and the camouflage training uniform is relatively more in line with the current environment.
As he moved closer to the city center, the road became more and more difficult.
It is not uncommon for the once high-rise imperial capital to collapse after such a catastrophe, and only some extremely sturdy and not tall buildings remain.
Many vehicles were piled up in the middle of the road, and some of them obviously collided and exploded in a panic, and a large number of charred bones and black body structures silently told all this.
A large number of walking corpses roamed the streets aimlessly, screaming incessantly.
Summer Spirit used the Breath Gathering Technique to the extreme, relying on divine sense detection to avoid one location after another where the walking corpses were concentrated, and at the same time, he did not forget to harvest the lone walking corpses.
After a few hours, he had already accumulated a large handful of crystal nuclei in his hands.
After all, it is really fragrant to use it as a power bank, and it never hurts to collect more.
The size and color of these crystal nuclei are slightly different, and after some experiments, Xia Ling found that the larger crystal nuclei all have obviously different elemental attributes, while the first-order crystal nuclei are mainly life energy, mixed with a bunch of mixed elemental attributes.
According to the size of the crystal nucleus and the strength of the breath coming from the walking corpse, the summer spirit roughly divided them into four levels: first-order, second-order, third-order, and fourth-order.
Compared to the muddy first-order walking corpses, so far, the higher the level of the walking corpses, the higher the intelligence, and the third-order walking corpses already have a simple command ability over the low-level kind.
At the same time, the more complete and combative the body, the stronger.
The only fourth-order crystal nucleus in his hand had been owned by a small zombie king, who had previously commanded hundreds of low-level kinders to attack the Summer Spirit.
It's a pity that for the current summer spirits, killing these walking corpses is like mowing grass, even the third-order and fourth-order walking corpses that can use the elements to release similar magic are just delivering food, and an axe is a second.
Compared to the endless demon tide that once besieged him, these rookies are really a little unsightly.
Even if the combat performance is similar, but the walking corpse is really stupid, and it can't be compared with the Demon Tide monster with strong combat instinct, cooperation, and tacit understanding, and it was killed in less than five minutes, and the crystal nuclei in his brain became his trophies.
Continuing his journey a little further, Xia Ling looked at the mechanical watch he had picked up from the school earlier, and the time changed from early morning to noon when he first came to this world.
After finding a place to eat some food prepared in advance, he continued his head towards the interior of the city.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Ling crossed many obstacles at a very fast speed and came to the vicinity of the former Third Ring Road, and a different sound in the distance attracted him.
Unlike the shriveled roars of the walking corpses, this invigorating roar was like the roar of some kind of large beast, followed by the sound of iron and gold and the collapse of buildings.
It seems that something is going on in the fight? Listen to the voice as if it were a survivor!
Summer Ling's spirit was shocked, and he changed the detection range of his divine sense from a circle to a forward fan, and quickly moved his body movement in the direction where the sound came from.
Not far from the outbreak of the battle, Summer Spirit hid in a ruin and looked into the distance, cooperating with the detection of his divine sense to watch the two sides of the fierce battle in the field.
It was a dog bigger than a tiger, and it was clearly mutated in some way, its eyes blood-red and its teeth sharp, and the force it brought up with a single step was enough to bend steel.
There were five more people fighting with the giant dog beside it, and several people were lying around it.
Seeing that they were disemboweled, and their chests and abdomen collapsed, it was obvious that they were dead.
Xia Ling didn't rush to make a move, he needed to observe the form before making a plan.
Having determined that this is the end of the world, he needs to prepare for the worst in terms of human nature.
He didn't know how long the apocalyptic crisis of this world had erupted, and he naturally had no way of controlling the extent to which the mentality of most human beings had changed.
While he was observing in the dark, the situation off the field had changed again.
The five besieging giant dogs, no, the five people who were chased and killed by the giant dogs were not its opponents at all, and they were knocked down by the giant dogs in an instant and killed one person in seconds, so fast that the other four people didn't have time to rescue at all.
