14. The secrecy of the city

[Random generation completed]

[Spirit body

Spirit: 30

Flesh: 100

Trait: Calm Lv. 1]

[Looking for a random delivery location...]

[Please note: After the random drop is completed, the spirit body will have a 2-second solidification process, and the spirit body will not take any damage during this process.] 怑

"Quite a mediocre attribute too."

Also, after all, only one core was put in.

As for the process of condensing the spirit body, Xu Zhi simply and crudely understood it as 2 seconds of invincibility.

[Random location selection has been completed, and delivery is begins...]

The moment this line of narration appeared, Xu Zhi's eyes were dark, and there was no dizziness and strange phenomenon, she seemed to just blink her eyes, and the next second, a line of white letters appeared in the darkness.

[The launch is successful, and the moment you open your eyes, the consolidation will begin. 怑

"If that's the case..."

Xu Zhi has been curious about how the game is going to put her consciousness into the spirit body, according to the narrator's description, she guessed that it might be to create a body that can accommodate her consciousness, but she also guessed that it might just be an extra controllable pixel figure in the game, and now it seems that it is indeed creating a "temporary body" for her.

In this case, there is more room for manoeuvre.

She doesn't have to fear death when she is in the spirit body, she can use the spirit body to do some things that she is worried about in reality, although the spirit body has to pay a cost, but compared to the role it can play, this cost is not high, Xu Zhi can use it to do all kinds of small and big risky actions.

After preparing in her heart, Xu Zhi slowly opened her eyes, she first subconsciously raised her eyes to observe the surroundings, but after seeing the surrounding environment clearly, she was stunned in place.

Xu Zhi's brain was blank for two whole seconds, and the strong stimulation hit her brain, making her unable to breathe before she had time to think, and even her breathing stagnated.

It wasn't until the two-second invincible time passed that a scarlet light flashed in front of Xu Zhi's eyes, and then, her spirit body died, so fast that she didn't feel the slightest pain, and her consciousness instantly returned to her body, and Xu Zhi's brain turned slowly as if it was rusty.

But as soon as she thought about it, cold sweat immediately spread all over her back.

What did she just see?

First of all, there is no doubt that the location where she was randomly put is in the city center, because the first thing Xu Zhi saw when she opened her eyes was the bus stop standing in front of her, which clearly said People's Park Station, and the People's Park in Yuncheng was in the center of the city.

However, in the next second, Xu Zhi's sight was filled with things that made her brain shut down on the spot...

That's—

Densely packed in every part of the road and buildings, the alien monsters with a deformed and terrifying appearance can make people dense with phobia attacks to the naked eye.

And the moment Xu Zhi opened his eyes, they also seemed to be aware of this "anomaly", so the eyes of the monsters emitting a ghostly light in the mist were aimed at Xu Zhi in unison, which were cold, bloodthirsty, and without any reason at all.

Even though the streets were silent at that time, Xu Zhi recalled it at this time, as if he had heard the whispers of countless monsters.

They are saying, "Look, a lost lamb."

Every monster was ready to move on her, so much so that as soon as the 2 seconds passed, a monster preemptively attacked her.

Should she be glad that her spirit body was too fragile for a xenomorph monster to die so quickly that she didn't even feel any pain?

At that time, because he was unprepared to open his eyes and saw that terrifying scene, Xu Zhi's brain was blank for a moment, and he died before he could think, and now in retrospect, in addition to fear, huge doubts also followed.

Why are all the xenomorph monsters that are densely packed or parked on the side of the road or crouched on the roofs of buildings congregated in the center of the city?

There are too many possible reasons, simple ones like something that's attracting them, or something more powerful to control them to get to the city center, all of them.

Now that she knew that the xenomorphs were all in the city center, she could explain why she hadn't seen xenomorph monsters in the past few days.

But with that comes a strong sense of anxiety and urgency.

Because, Xu Zhi doesn't know how long these xenos will stay in the city center, what if, they will leave the city center in the next second and come here?

It's not here, it's any part of the city, and as long as these xenos exist, the city isn't safe.

Even, the xenomorphs of huddle action are more dangerous than previously reported in the news.

No one in the city can stop them if they want to.

Do you want to put your life on the fact that those xenomorphs won't suddenly run to you?!

Just the glance that Xu Zhi looked at the past, there were hundreds of xenomorphs, but it was because the fog obscured part of her vision, and she could only see the eyes flickering in the fog in the distance!

She couldn't figure out why the xenos were gathering in the center of the city, she only knew that there might be another secret in the city that she didn't understand.

The excessive tension and anxiety even made Xu Zhi want to be angry, and she had to close her eyes and take a deep breath to adjust her state.

Fortunately, in the past days, the pressure of illness and death had always been with her, and now that she was suddenly exposed to such a terrifying thing, she couldn't crush Xu Zhi, she took a little time to sort out her mentality and open her eyes again.

"It seems that we have to be a little more radical."

She's not growing fast enough!

Xu Zhi's mind is now full of the scene she just opened her eyes to see, and her goal has become to at least survive the encirclement and suppression of these xenomorph monsters.

Before seeing this scene, Xu Zhi's goal was far from being so "huge", and the more she knew, the heavier the pressure on her became.

Under heavy pressure, Xu Zhi made a decision.

She took out the gray [Moth] attribute core, and without hesitation, threw it directly into her mouth.

She knew that a core didn't add much energy, but it was just a determination.

The moment she ate the core, the attribute core that was originally as hard as crystal turned into liquid in her mouth and slid down her esophagus, and then Xu Zhi's eyes flashed, and a dream-like illusion appeared in front of her eyes.

It was as if she had seen countless gray moths locked under glass covers, and then released one by one in the night, with burning candles in the air, each of which flew towards the candles as if on a pilgrimage, and then died, and its bodies turned into ashes and fell to the ground.

The corpses of moths were scattered all over the ground, and the black lines on their gray wings were like silent eyes, twisting and changing, staring at the candle flame in the sky with a longing look.

Xu Zhi's gaze also fell on the flickering candle flame in the air, and he even couldn't help but want to get close to it, even if it was exuding scorching heat, ruthlessly burning moths to death.

However, in the next second, the scene in front of Xu Zhi's eyes began to distort, and a violent feeling of dizziness came, allowing her to get out of the psychedelic scene like a moth to a fire.

The clothes behind her back were eroded by sweat and exuded a burst of coldness, Xu Zhi was also faintly afraid, what would happen if she didn't wake up in time and pounce into the candle flame like those moths?

Xu Zhi tried to feel if there was any change in her body, but unfortunately, after feeling it for a while, she didn't notice any difference, so she picked up the game console and wanted to see if the narrator would have any hints.

Sure enough, the narrator doesn't ignore her every action.

[The scene you saw in the spirit body made you tremble, and it also made you make the determination to change, you ate an attribute core, it is really a bold move, but why is it not the right choice at the moment? 怑

[Your Moth Attribute Transcendent Affinity has increased, but this is not enough for you to obtain a certain transcendent ability, perhaps, you need more attribute cores.] 怑

[Note, however, that you should be aware that devouring attribute cores is a risk to sane creatures, especially those as dangerous as moths.] 怑

[Please be sensible and don't let yourself fall into "obsession".] 怑

"Fascinated?"

It seems that the feeling that she was almost similar to a moth just now, and she couldn't help but want to "self-immolate" was a precursor to fascination?

However, one core is really not enough...

Where is she going to get more [Moth] attribute cores...

Xu Zhi turned his head to look at the time, thinking that it hadn't been long, after all, the spirit body was killed in seconds, and it didn't take long to fall into a hallucination in her perception, but when she looked at the time, more than an hour had passed.

In a few moments, it would be time for both of her families to call it a day.

However, so far, there is no hint of the black fruit found in the game, and it seems that her luck today is not good.

Xu Zhi put down the game console and got up to wash, although he brought medicine with him when he moved, but it was just in case, after the dog was promoted to level 10, her physical fitness increased a little, and she is currently in a state where although she is still very weak compared to normal people, she is fine without medicine.

After washing and changing clothes, Xu Zhi tinkered with the washing machine in the room again, washed the dirty clothes, and then returned to the bedroom.

She sighed, "It's the end of the world, and I have to get up at 5 o'clock every day and do my own laundry." ā€

When she is strong, she must accept a subordinate who helps her wash clothes and do chores in life.

After doing this, the time was almost up, Xu Zhi picked up the game console and looked at it, and sure enough, her two dependents had nothing to gain this morning.

"Forget it, you can't expect to pick up good things every day."

Xu Zhi threw the two dependents out and let them upgrade on their own, but she was not idle, her luggage was not idle, except for some daily necessities, she brought other books.

Xu Zhi knew in her heart that she couldn't use any spare time to exercise her broken body that was panting for breath after walking a few steps, and it was impossible for her to die and go out to find any opportunities, the only thing she could do now was to seize all the time to enrich her brain and gain more knowledge, even if this knowledge might not come in handy, but be prepared.

And in addition to letting the two dependents hunt, she also asked them to keep an eye on the nearby library, clearing a relatively safe path this morning, so that she could continue to replenish after reading the books at home.

"Hey, if only there was an internet."

Cloud City's network has been cut off, otherwise she wouldn't even have to go to the library, and just use her mobile phone or tablet.

It wasn't until the end of the first round of hunting that Xu Zhi looked up from the book and prepared to count their harvest.

Xu Zhi, who had read the book for seven hours, was a little tired, but there was a faint excitement in her eyes, just because she found that her energy bar had increased a lot, and even her memory and comprehension ability had increased a little, and she was reading faster than before.

And it's not just a hasty look at it, it's really looking into it, understanding it, and being able to remember.

Perhaps, the [Moth] attribute did not bring a significant improvement to her body, but it did benefit her a lot in this regard.

"If I digest enough cores, will I be able to remember them?"

Xu Zhi thought in his mind for a moment, and then looked at the game screen.

The evolution points of the two clans are enough for each of them to upgrade one level, but more importantly, in the [Special Items] column, three attribute cores suddenly appeared!

Xu Zhi looked at it, it was two [Blade] attributes and one [Moth] attribute.

"Not bad."

She is not continuing to increase her "knowledge" by continuing to add new attribute cores, but is even more lacking in the corresponding core to increase her strength.

She planned to feed the two [blade] attributes to Xiao Yi, the attribute core was a scarce resource in Xu Zhi's opinion, and at such a moment, she hoped to cultivate a more powerful combat power than rain and dew.

What's more, she also needs Xiao Yi to reach level 20 as soon as possible to unlock the third clan.

Xu Zhi first asked Xiao Yi and Gouzi to find a place where they could upgrade, so that both dependents were upgraded by one level first, and then ordered Xiao Yi to eat the two [Blade] attribute cores, while Gouzi continued the next round of hunting that lasted 7 hours.

The spirit of the dog who has been promoted to level 11 has increased by 22 points, and the physical body has directly increased by 120 points, reaching 860 physical attributes, and there is no upgrade in other aspects for the time being.

By the time Xiao Yi digested the two [Blade] attribute cores, its evolution points once again met the requirements for upgrading, and more importantly, due to the absorption of attribute cores, the [Blade] attributes in Xiao Yi increased, and the traits were also improved.

So the panel of the primary one changed again:

[Clan: Snake Lv14.]

Spirit: 200

Flesh: 800

Attribute: Blade

Traits: Toxin Lv5→ Lv6, Sharp Lv3→ Lv4, Bloodthirsty Lv4, Cunning Lv3

Special Ability: None]

[Evolution Point: 200/3000]

Toxin and Sharp each rose a level, but they still failed to evolve their Action Skills.

"Alright, let's go hunting."

At this time, an hour had passed since the dog set off, and it took some time to upgrade and digest the [Blade] attribute, and Xu Zhi looked at the [Moth] attribute core in the warehouse without hesitation, and took it out to the real world again, and then took a sip.

This time, though, she's mentally prepared for what will happen after eating the core, and she's remembered the point of staying sane.

This time, however, the dream-like fantasy scene has undergone some subtle changes.
