Chapter 52: Harvesting the Crystal Nucleus

Along the way, Lu Sheng observed that the range of zombies was still near the subway station for the time being, and after a few hundred meters out of the subway station, there was no trace of zombies on the street.

Kyoda is still some distance from the subway station, and it seems that it will be safe for a few days for the time being.

The snow on the campus was getting thicker and thicker, and it was almost above Lu Sheng's knees. The four of them carried the fish in the trunk upstairs several times, and when they entered the dormitory, they were already exhausted.

Even if Lu Sheng's body has been strengthened, his arms are a little sore after a day of tossing.

"It's all you and Teacher Xu who are contributing today, and the work of cleaning up the fish will be handed over to me and Tiantian."

Originally, Lu Sheng planned to hang the fish on skewers and freeze it outside the window for preservation, but Xiao Yu and Sun Tiantian didn't agree to anything, so they pressed Lu Sheng and Xu Yi to the sofa to watch TV.

The TV station is broadcasting live the snow clearing work on the expressway in the suburbs of Beijing.

"The municipal engineering has mobilized all personnel to work overtime to clear the snow, and I believe that with everyone's efforts, the high-speed traffic will soon be restored."

The host was so cold that his upper and lower teeth trembled, and he forced out a stiff smile.

Lu Sheng's expression was serious, and in the live broadcast camera, a man in a padded jacket suddenly stumbled from the snow clearing team to the direction of the host.

The man had a gray complexion and cloudy eyes, apparently infected by the zombie virus.

Whoa.

The man suddenly attacked from behind and bit the host's slender neck with a bite.

The live footage was splashed red with blood, and a piercing scream was heard from the TV. Then there was a riot in the footage, and the on-site personnel rushed up to separate the zombies and the hostess, but the zombies bit several people one after another.

After they finally subdued the male zombie, the bitten hostess's eyes rolled weirdly and bit her colleagues beside her.

All the viewers in front of the TV watched the chaos.

After a few seconds, all TV signals were cut off.

"It looks like the zombie virus has broken out in other parts of the city." Lu Sheng's expression was calm, and he had to face it early or late.

Xiao Yu and Sun Tiantian had already disposed of the fish, washed their hands and sat next to Lu Sheng.

"My buddy just sent a message saying that he eavesdropped on an emergency call from his family at work, and the government has decided to lock down the city, and all exits will be blocked within half an hour." Xiao Yu handed the WeChat page of his mobile phone to Lu Sheng.

Soon there were also people in the mutual aid group who spread the news of the lockdown.

Most people thought that it was just a fatal infectious disease in the city, but they didn't expect the outbreak to be a zombie virus.

Many people discussed in the group whether to flee to other cities together before the lockdown.

"What shall we do?" Sun Tiantian looked at Lu Sheng.

"Respond to all changes with the same, don't move for the time being, and see the situation."

Even if you get out of the city now, it's too late, according to Lu Sheng's memory in his previous life, the government has not yet identified the zombie virus, and all treatment methods refer to emergency infectious diseases.

Now that the road is closed by heavy snow outside, the car can't drive out of the city at all, and if you want to leave the emperor, you have to walk dozens or hundreds of kilometers, even if you are not bitten to death by zombies, you will freeze to death.

And the zombie virus is not only breaking out in the imperial capital, other cities will only be more chaotic. What's more, as an economic and political center, the imperial capital will also organize restoration work as soon as the situation stabilizes, and it is the fastest place in the country to restore basic order.

"It's so cold, let's eat hot pot, right?" The four of them all chose to stand still for the time being, and Lu Sheng got up and proposed.

"Good! I'm going to eat spicy pot! And the oil dish! Sun Tiantian was the first to raise her hand in favor.

took out a bag of Haidilao red oil base from Sun Tiantian's inventory, and Lu Sheng beckoned Xu Yi to help cut the mutton.

Sure enough, Xu Yi even cut the mutton squarely and meticulously.

If it weren't for Lu Sheng watching Xu Yi take the knife with his own eyes, he would have thought that this lamb slice of the same size and thickness was carved out of a mold with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Seeing Lu Sheng staring at himself with a look of wanting to speak, Xu Yi's always unwavering face showed a trace of unnaturalness for the first time.

Sun Tiantian is an iron foodie, and there is an ancestral copper pot brought from his hometown in the Northeast in the dormitory.

Lu Sheng took some charcoal, burned the copper pot on the shelf, and poured in a pot of broth and base for boiling bones. When the stock is boiling, pour the lamb and fresh crab into the pot.

There are also abalone and lobster, cut into slices and put in the pot together.

The charcoal fire is slow, but the scalded mutton is tender and fresh, and it has a special flavor that electric hot pot can't match.

I also soaked some fungus and chrysanthemum, which were crisp and tender after shabu-shabu.

After a day of tossing and turning in the ice and snow, the four of them finally relaxed and feasted around the copper pot.

Fresh lamb is wrapped in a fragrant sesame sauce, and the cold air is dispelled in one bite.

The crab and abalone lobster soaked up the gravy, and it was fresh and slippery.

Outside the window, the snow was still heavy, and occasionally there were a few mutant wild dog sizzles. The city's former prosperity and glory seem to have been buried deep by this heavy snow, leaving only the decline of civilization about to wither.

But none of this had anything to do with the four people in the house, Lu Sheng swallowed a mouthful of tender and elastic abalone slices, and silently loosened his belt.

Really fat.

……

After eating, he returned to 403, and Lu Sheng put the bag full of crystal nuclei on the ground.

Changing into a comfortable vest and shorts, Lu Sheng leaned on Zhuangzhuang, sat on the floor and studied today's harvest.

Ever since she had geothermal heat, she was used to sitting barefoot on the ground, which was very comfortable.

Not counting the additional rewards of the system, today they found 362 first-level crystal nuclei and 5 second-level crystal nuclei in their brains.

The Nucleus is not only an ability to upgrade and restore stamina in the post-apocalyptic world, but it is also the most useful universal currency.

According to the purchasing power of crystal nuclei at the beginning of the end of the world, their harvest today is equivalent to a small goal that Young Master Wang and his father said.

Originally, Lu Sheng planned to divide the crystal nucleus equally, but Sun Tiantian and Xiao Yu said that they had no ability and that the street lamp ability was not worthy of upgrading, so they gave Lu Sheng all the crystal nuclei.

Xu Yi also said that for the time being, it will be kept by Lu Sheng's side first, and all the crystal nuclei will be in Lu Sheng's hands.

Zhuang Zhuang curiously approached Lu Sheng's hand, stretched out his tongue and was about to lick the shiny things in the bag.

"Can't eat it!" Lu Sheng patted his strong head, and Zhuang Zhuang retracted his head stupidly.

Lu Sheng, as a little transparent, although he had never seen the crystal nucleus with his own eyes in his previous life, he had never eaten pork and had seen a pig run.

The crystal nucleus dug out of the zombie brain flower cannot be eaten directly, and needs to go through a purification process.

In the last life, the method of crystal nucleus purification has always been a barrier that ordinary people cannot touch. In order to maintain their hegemony, the major bases have been secretive about the purification of crystal nuclei.

Some people don't believe in evil and eat it directly, either exploding and dying or mutating into low-level zombies.

Lu Sheng used the system's built-in end-of-the-world novice Q&A collection to find it for a long time.

Ha? That's the way to purify?
