62. Missing
Xu Zhi took out the black fruit and handed it to the small dead wood in front of him.
The dead wood is also not in a hurry, and the fruit is stuffy in one bite.
After finishing the stuffiness, it tried to climb forward to Xu Zhi's lap and stick to her, but it really didn't expect this fruit to have such a strong stamina, and it fell to the ground with a clatter after just two steps, and there was no movement.
"Tsk."
How can there always be a sense of both food and fun.
Scooped up the little guy who fell to the ground and lost his movement and put it on the table, looked at the time, Xu Zhi didn't let the family go out again, but picked up a pen and paper and wrote a letter.
The letter was handed over to Zhong Lingfan, and the content was probably urging her to quickly recruit more people to come to the old residential area, and she could form a search and rescue team or something, followed by writing a few simple and easy-to-understand reports, such as the danger of midnight, the attribute classification of the transcendent, and some common sense needed to survive in Cloud City and the rules in the residential area.
In the letter, Xu Zhi also gave three [Lamp] attribute basic cores.
Since you want people to work, you naturally can't pull out a dime.
"Send the letter to Zhong Lingfan, you've seen it." patting Xiao Zhen's head, Xu Zhi handed the envelope to it, and Xiao Zhen obediently grabbed the envelope and flew out of the window.
It shouldn't be too much for her to exchange a handbook for anyone in the city who can see it outside the city for a large amount of money, right?
In fact, this idea was already before the transaction with the Federation, to make a manual similar to the outside world for people in residential areas, but Xu Zhi's thoughts were always for a while, and after that stall, she forgot and didn't do this again, and now the Federation just asked for it, and she also needed Zhong Lingfan to write a simple report, so it was better to do it with the boat.
Zhong Lingfan's reply arrived quickly, and the blank paper briefly mentioned the recent changes in the residential area, that someone had indeed seen traces of living people while hunting outside, that she was currently sending someone to contact her, and that she would finish writing the basic content of the manual within a week.
"How reliable!"
With a sigh, Xu Zhi picked up the knife given to her by Shen Jinwen and began to exercise every day.
After about forty minutes or so, Xu Zhi stopped swinging his knife and turned his head to look at the xenos on the table, although he raised his eyebrows in surprise.
The original brown xenomorph that looked like dead wood turned black.
Like the fruit it devoured.
“... How can it still be dyed? ”
This was the first time, Xu Zhi put down the knife and walked to the xenomorph to take a closer look.
Everything else has not changed, only the color of the skin has changed to black.
"What's going on?"
Xu Zhi frowned a little puzzled, as if hearing her whisper, the xenomorph's body slowly twisted, and then woke up.
The first thing it did after waking up was still crawling in the direction of Xu Zhi, trying to stick to Xu Zhi.
The girl ignored the little thing lying on her lap, and picked up the game console to click on the xenomorph's attribute table.
Then there was another scene that surprised her.
There are no changes to the attribute table.
Not even the evolution points have increased a bit.
“... So, you're really just dyed?!! ”
Xu Zhi's voice was a little incredulous.
Fortunately, the narrator appeared in time.
[Under your influence, your family has undergone some kind of change after eating the fruit. 】
"My influence?"
Xu Zhi was puzzled for a moment, and then thought that he had fed this xenomorph a lot of blood, maybe it was also contaminated with the breath of learning [moth]?
[This is some kind of bizarre, irreversible change, which deviates from the original evolutionary course. 】
[It's more closely associated with midnight.] 】
Perhaps, you can feed it more fruits. 】
"To put it lightly, where do I get more fruit."
Xu Zhi was a little speechless, this thing is so hard to find, if you eat it, you won't upgrade or add evolution points, but only increase the progress of this inexplicable change, who knows what it will become?
This is a completely unknown overdraft, and in a civilized society it would be called a fraud!
But, it's coming...
"You'd better not have too much of an appetite." Xu Zhi picked up the xenomorph that had climbed onto her shoulder and warned it.
The xenomorph didn't understand it at all, but just sent out a message of joy in ignorance, because it quite liked to be picked up by Xu Zhi like this, which was also a kind of sticker!
After the core was almost used and the dependents were all upgraded, Xu Zhi planned to let them out and continue hunting.
It's just that she waited for a few days, and when Zhong Lingfan finished all the manuals, she also read that there was no problem, but there were still no new members to join the residential area.
Just when Xu Zhi was wondering if the people in Yuncheng were almost dead, Zhong Lingfan suddenly came to visit.
Xu Zhi said that if there is something Zhong Lingfan can look at and solve by herself, when she comes to the door, something must have happened that she thinks she can't solve.
"What's going on?" Xu Zhi looked at her curiously.
Zhong Lingfan opened his mouth and said, "It's the one I told you in the letter a few days ago that I saw a living person. ”
"I sent a team to that place, but they haven't come back yet, and they haven't sent any information back."
"Even if you can't move at night and can only travel during the day, it's time to come back, but now there is still no news."
"They're missing."
That's not going to work.
Xu Zhi thought to himself, each one is her precious leek, even if she doesn't find a new leek, the old leeks have been uprooted.
Who can stand this?
"Where did they disappear?"
Zhong Lingfan took out the prepared map and pointed out the location to Xu Zhi.
It was a little further from the old residential area.
"How did they run so far?"
Zhong Lingfan replied: "There doesn't seem to be anyone around here, so I searched a little farther away." ”
Of course, there weren't many people around here, and some people were almost killed by the wave of fanatics.
"Okay, I'll take a look."
Xu Zhi nodded and accepted this request for help.
If you want the leeks to stay in her garden with peace of mind, you must naturally give them enough "security".
Normally, Xu Zhi would only be a hands-off shopkeeper, but when she encountered this kind of thing, she knew that she had to come forward.
"Xiao Zhen, it's time to come back."
Sending Zhong Lingfan away, Xu Zhi clicked on the game console, and Hai Dongqing on the screen seemed to hear her call, fluttering his wings and flying into the fog.
Xenos have to be brought, and Xiao Zhen is the most convenient person in the family to find, and his combat effectiveness is not bad.
Moreover, now that she herself is no longer a burden, and even more powerful than other transcendents, she doesn't have to drag her family into battle like before.
When Xiao Zhen came back, Xu Zhi habitually patted its head: "Let's go, this mission is to find the missing leeks." ”
"Come with me to this place and see where there are people nearby."
Pointing the location to Xiao Zhen, Xiao Zhen's blue eyes carefully noted down the location of the map and then obediently flew to Xu Zhi's shoulder.
The fact that someone was missing in the residential area couldn't be concealed at all, and when Xu Zhi went out, he found that the existing residents did not look good.
She found Zhong Lingfan before leaving: "Stabilize the hearts of the people, when I bring people back, I will ask Xiao Zhen to send you a message, and on the day I come back, I must let everyone see it." ”
She wants to strengthen her influence in the minds of these people.
