Chapter 356: Coming to Xicheng Again
Although he didn't get any useful news, Xiao Ran didn't intend to give up just yet.
He was the only one in this world who knew about the existence of the Abyssal Beast, and he knew how powerful the Abyss Beast was, and now that he had discovered the traces of the Abyssal Beast, how could he give up so easily?
Considering that the Abyss Beast also had at least third-order combat power, Xiao Ran did not have the impulse to go directly to Guicheng to find the traces of the Abyss Beast, but went to the city hall again and asked Wei Yun to prepare some monitoring equipment for him.
Xiao Ran couldn't directly look for the traces of the Abyssal Beast, but he could use technology to monitor it.
There is no need for remote transmission technology, as long as Xiao Ran regularly goes to retrieve the monitoring data.
The monitoring equipment is nothing, Wei Yun quickly got ready, and then Xiao Ran called Cheng Jiang and took a helicopter to Guicheng.
In this operation, Xiao Ran didn't mean to hide it from Luo Ji and Wei Yun, because his movements were too big, and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to.
According to Xiao Ran's plan, he installed the monitoring equipment on the roof of the building near the Guicheng Railway Station, which can monitor the square of the railway station in an all-round way without dead ends.
According to Xiao Ran's train of thought, if the footprints on the square were really left by the Abyss Beast, then it was impossible for the other party to appear only once, and it was likely to appear again.
As long as he can capture the appearance of the abyss beast through the surveillance, Xiao Ran will be able to grasp the first-hand information and make preparations in advance.
After arranging the monitoring equipment, Xiao Ran went back.
The monitoring equipment comes with a storage hard disk, and there is no problem in shooting continuously for three days.
Back in Los Angeles, Xiao Ran did not let Cheng Jiang go back, but returned to the air-raid shelter to sort out the equipment, took Bingbing, Qin Yao, Wang Yue and A Fu and set off, and went straight to Xicheng.
After this period of cultivation, with the support of a large number of energy stones, Xiao Ran's combat power has improved very significantly, making him truly realize the importance of energy stones.
Power stones can not only help the ability to complete the first or second awakening, but more importantly, have enough energy stones to continuously use energy to improve physical fitness.
Energy is the foundation of combat power, but whether the physical fitness is strong or not is directly related to whether or not the strongest combat power can be brought into play.
To put it more bluntly, power stones are definitely the most important strategic resource in the apocalypse, and there is no one, so no one will dislike that there are many power stones.
Especially since Xiao Ran has swallowed the source of the virus, the efficiency of absorbing energy has been doubled, and the more energy stones, the faster his combat power will increase, so Xiao Ran must accumulate a large number of energy stones again.
In addition, because Xiao Ran had discovered the traces of the Abyss Beast in advance, Xiao Ran's previous idea that his combat power was strong enough completely dissipated.
In the face of the Abyss Beast, only those with third-order abilities have the power to protect themselves, so Xiao Ran re-set a goal for himself, striving to complete the three awakenings within half a year, and prepare to deal with the crisis caused by the Abyss Beast in advance.
So now it seems that it is imperative for Xiao Ran to go to Xicheng and search for more energy stones.
Chen An was injured and needed time to recover, so Xiao Ran brought Bingbing, who was more powerful.
Although Qin Yao's combat power is average, after more than a month of cultivation, he can be regarded as a leader among those with first-order ability, especially the particularity of spatial ability, if it is used well, it is not impossible to kill second-order combat power.
The group set off quickly, but it took only half an hour to come to the sky over Xicheng.
The last time he brought Wei Yun and them over, Xiao Ran got the map of Xicheng from Wei Yun, although the markings on it were outdated, it could still be done with a simple reference.
Although Xiao Ran and Bingbing were both second-order combat powers, this time he didn't want to make a big deal and didn't go to the huge zombie gathering place in the center of Xicheng, but first fought Qiu Feng around to see how Bingbing and Qin Yao's combat power was, and then made a decision.
The first thing Xiao Ran chose was a market in the east of Xicheng.
There is a lot of fresh meat and various foods in the market, and after the disaster broke out, many people chose to come to the market to take refuge, but they did not expect that the zombies were attracted by the meat and also came here.
At that time, human beings had not yet started to evolve, and they had no power to fight back in the face of a large number of zombies, and in less than a day, the market became the territory of zombies, which has developed until now.
According to the markings on the map, there is a second-order evolutionary zombie and more than a dozen first-order evolutionary zombies in the market, but this is already more than a month ago.
For more than a month, it is impossible for the zombies in the market to not change at all, it is likely that a second or even a third second-order evolutionary zombie has appeared, and the number of first-order evolutionary zombies will at least double.
Xiao Ran simply told Bingbing and Qin Yao about the situation in the market, asked them to be mentally prepared in advance, and then found a suitable place nearby to land.
The movement of the helicopter was not small, and before it landed, nearby human survivors or zombies heard the movement.
Before the zombies evolved, their actions were completely in accordance with instinct, even if they were first-order evolved zombies, most of their actions relied on instinct, so after hearing the sound of the helicopter, the nearby zombies all pounced, but those human survivors did not move.
More than a month ago, Xiao Ran led the team to take a helicopter to fight the autumn wind in Xicheng, and many survivors in Xicheng knew what this helicopter represented, so they naturally did not dare to act rashly.
The last time the kind of human ability people were red-eyed, they had to do it when they came up, and even the sneak attack when Xiao Ran was fighting with the zombies would generally not happen again, unless they thought they had enough combat power to touch Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran and the three jumped down from the helicopter, saw the zombies rushing from nearby, and shot at the same time.
Qin Yao was bare-handed, but every time he made a move, there would inevitably be energy fluctuations, and small spatial cracks appeared, and he could easily kill the zombies that rushed up, which looked extremely easy.
The damage caused by spatial ability is not something that can be easily resisted, even Xiao Ran has to deal with it carefully.
Bingbing waved his hand casually, and the water vapor in the air spontaneously condensed into fine ice crystals, flying out in all directions, and ordinary zombies were hit by the fine Xiaoice crystals and fell to the ground one after another, only first-order evolved zombies could resist.
However, the first-order evolutionary zombie finally rushed in front of Bingbing, but was frozen by the powerful ice power released by Bingbing, and it would turn into pieces if he touched it casually.
In comparison, only Xiao Ran kept rushing and killing with Tang Hengdao in his hand, which seemed to be even more cliché.
In less than a minute, all the zombies that rushed over were killed, and the survivors who were hiding in the shadows all showed happy eyes.
Fortunately, they didn't go out to find Xiao Ran and their trouble, otherwise they would have died.
These three people are simply too strong.
Xiao Ran knew that there must be human survivors nearby, but since they didn't come out, Xiao Ran wouldn't go to them specifically to make trouble, and let Cheng Jiang launch a helicopter to fly up to avoid being attacked by people with intentions, and the three of them were heading towards the market.
