Chapter 8: Old Friends from Past Lives
Mom also said thoughtfully.
"So when people absorb the energy inside, they will also lose their minds."
"Well, almost, one or two are not obvious, and if there are more alien beast cores absorbed, people will not be far from madness."
Zhou Xuan quickly dismembered one again, and harvested a strange beast core again.
Under normal circumstances, basically every mutant beast will have one in its body.
To say that it is to dismember is simply to cut it into several pieces, otherwise he would not have been able to do it so quickly.
On Tuesday, the river was preached by the mother and son, and he was still muttering in his mouth.
"You and I haven't experienced the end of the world, why don't you read novels.
You say that the alien beast core is useless, why do you still collect them all? ”
Zhou Xuan collected several alien beast cores into a wooden box.
"It will be useful in the future, and if we don't use it, someone else will use it."
After chatting with the two of them for a while, he warned his parents not to go out as much as possible, and to wear them in the fortress.
He was alone, heading to a remote corner of the inner area.
Push open the heavy iron door and step into a small, enclosed room.
A middle-aged man who looked to be in his mid-thirties, sitting at a computer desk drinking coffee, was intently observing the big screen in front of him.
"Brother Wei, are you still used to living?"
Zhou Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said hello with a smile.
The man turned and looked at him with gratitude on his face.
"Zhou Shao, I'm fine, if it weren't for your reminder, I'm afraid I would have died when the end broke out last night.
Your great kindness cannot be repaid, and I will do my best to complete the task. ”
He is an ordinary office worker and has been working hard in his profession, but he has not been promoted because he has no relationship.
If it weren't for Zhou Xuan, he would have brought himself to the fortress in advance before the end of the world.
Don't talk about drinking coffee leisurely, it's good not to be ground by mutant beasts as coffee.
"Don't call it Zhou Shao, the end times are coming, everyone is the same, do you have any discoveries?"
Zhou Xuan found a sofa and sat down, took a bottle of Coke and drank it.
He is not a soft-hearted person, and his heart was broken by the betrayal of his relatives and friends before he was reborn.
When the end comes, behead the Virgin first.
It's just that Wei Qiuge is different.
He still remembered that before he died, Brother Wei fought against several mutant beasts alone, fought to the death and was finally dismembered.
In addition to awakening through tattoos before the end of the world, some people also have a small probability of random awakening in the late end of the world.
Brother Wei is such a person, but in the end, he lost his life in order to save himself from being in danger.
Otherwise, without his own drag, he could have lived a little longer.
And the reason why he will help himself is when the end has just come.
When Zhou Xuan was still kind, he gave him a bite to eat when he was dying of hunger.
People are so strange that they can only see human nature when danger comes.
Decades of friendship, and the woman who is regarded as his beloved, betrayed himself one by one because of interests, in order to live a better life.
Wei Qiuge, who only ate one meal of his own, used his life to buy himself time to escape.
Until he died, Brother Wei never resented him, but just said a word.
"Run"
His mind quickly came back to his senses from his memory, and he had come to his aid in this life.
Rebirth is his biggest secret, and even if he says it, Brother Wei may not believe it, so he brought him under other pretexts.
Brother Wei also took out a few photos he took and called up the surveillance footage.
"Based on my observations from last night to today, the number of mutant beasts roaming around us is around a hundred."
Surveillance cameras are installed all around the fortress, scanning close to dead ends to avoid any mutant beast attacks.
And he is the one who guards the monitoring, including the outermost gate switch of the fortress is also controlled remotely by him.
This number of mutant beasts was within Zhou Xuan's plan, and he was also relieved in his heart.
"About a hundred, but it's within the range of what we can handle."
You must know that the entire area of the fortress is 10,000 square meters, and a hundred mutant beasts scattered are definitely a very small number.
Wei Qiuge is extremely serious in his work, and he also has his own opinions after a day's observation.
"Look at this, Zhou Shao, it seems that the mutant beasts don't dare to approach the vicinity of the ancient river."
He's been discovering this since yesterday, and I don't know why.
There weren't even a few mutant beasts that dared to wander around the ancient river.
The west gate of the fortress is facing the ancient river, otherwise it would not be as simple as besieging Zhou Xuan with only a few mutant beasts.
Zhou Xuan explained lightly.
"The ancient river has a deterrent effect on ordinary mutant beasts, otherwise we would have been surrounded by mutant beasts a long time ago, and there would not be only a hundred of them."
Wei Qiuge didn't ask much, anyway, he knew that Guhe could scare the mutant beasts.
"Then what are we going to do next, clean up the mutant beasts one by one?"
"Don't rush first, take it one step at a time."
Zhou Xuan was not in a hurry at all, and had already started his next step.
If there are thermal weapons of mass destruction, it would be good to be able to counterbalance the mutant beasts at the beginning of the apocalypse, but all the thermal weapons will be ineffective after the apocalypse.
It's still a bit tricky to deal with so many mutant beasts in a short period of time.
And the fortress of about 10,000 square meters is still a little smaller after all.
According to his own plan, it will not be enough after ten days, and he will have to find an opportunity to expand it.
"Come and eat together in the evening, don't stay here alone."
After saying this, he left the monitoring room.
On the way back, he kept thinking that there were still too few people.
The huge fortress is only four people including Brother Wei, well, and a donkey.
But this kind of thing is not something that can be solved in a hurry, and I have long left my back hand, just to see when the bait bites.
The innermost floor was not large, and I walked to the side of the house in a few steps, and I was just about to push the door in when I heard my mother's roar.
"Don't eat, stupid donkey, don't eat."
