No one knew if the news of zombies eating each other’s crystal nuclei is true, but they do know about mutant plants. Even if zombies don’t dig crystal cores, it’s hard to guarantee that those mutant plants lingering outside won’t take advantage of the chaos to dig nuclei.
Coupled with the huge mutant plant that everyone encountered before returning to the base… which seemingly appeared from no where. Some people thought there was an earthquake the night before. Now, this plant mysteriously disappeared again, everyone was speculating whether this plant secretly hid underground? Or did it shift positions and leave?
Everyone in the know was speechless. Although they saw the plant rolling away, they couldn’t figure out why it left…
There are so many advanced ability users in this team, and all the base ability users were also very interested in how to rise to level 3.
So everyone exchanged this for other news. “You mean, someone in the base has absorbed at least tens of thousands of level 1 and 2 crystal nuclei, but still failed to rise to level 3?” Yan Xin looked at him in surprise. He Zizhong, He Zizhong also looked puzzled and expressed his confusion. He obviously absorbed so much, why can’t they level up?
After everyone’s calculations along the way, after getting an ability, they can reach level 2 after absorbing about 500 level 1 crystal nuclei. Level 2 to level 3 requires about 5000 nuclei and the corresponding level 3 nuclei. As for level 3 to 4, it is still uncertain, but about 10,000 to 20,000 may be needed. How could this person not respond after absorbing so many?
“Yeah, I heard that those people are still buying crystal nuclei every day, but simply can’t level up. The most important thing is – even if they have the corresponding level 3 crystal nucleus, they can’t absorb it at all! They can only absorb crystal cores of the same and lower levels!” The soldier who was in charge of inquiring about the news spread his hands in confusion. “Why don’t we have this problem?”
Everyone looked at each other after hearing the news. When they upgraded, it was very simple. After absorbing crystal cores to a certain extent, they will naturally have the feeling of “upgrading”. They can they absorb the level 3 crystal nuclei prepared in advance, and things will be over. Of course, there are also occasional accidents. For example, several people in the logistics department have had to try two or three times, and it took them two or three third-level crystal cores to ascend.
Yin Dong suddenly pushed his glasses and asked, “Are those people who haven’t ascended people who usually don’t leave the base and rely on their supplies and connections to collect crystal cores?”
The soldier opened his mouth and tilted his head to think for a moment. “Maybe? I heard that these are the bosses of some forces, and one of them is the second-in-command of a certain military force. He used to do civilian work, but he didn’t do anything until his superiors ran away last time there was an accident at the base..”
Yin Dong’s mouth twisted in sarcasm. “I suspect that people with less combat experience will find it more difficult to level up.” After speaking, he turned his flashing eyes to look at those in the logistics team that took a couple of times to upgrade. “The less people use their abilities to fight, the more difficult it will be to rise to the third level.”
So although they can use guns and weapon, because they don’t use their abilities to fight and exercise too little, they can only prepare several high level crystal cores to try their luck each time?!
The few people who spent more than two crystal cores to level up were forced to bite their handkerchiefs with tears in their eyes.
“This is a possibility.” Yan Xin agreed with Yin Dong’s statement. “Maybe this is the law of survival of the fittest in the world today.” Maybe the world recognizes that those who are really powerful can become stronger. Those who rely on other advantages cannot overcome this qualitative change without having experienced combat themselves.
This is definitely a good thing for those who are working hard to fight outside.
“Only those who are fighting on the front line can quickly level up.” Yin Dong spread his hands out, with a malicious smile on his face as he spoke to the gossip listeners. “When you encounter people asking how to level up later, you’re welcome to tell them how many crystal cores and advanced cores you need. Of course, it’s better to use this news to trade for valuable information.”
Either way, those bullying people outside can’t rely on this to upgrade. They naturally don’t have to worry.
After talking about this, Yan Xin instructed Yin Dong: “Tomorrow you will take two people to the factory. I heard that they have found a raw material that can replace the outer skin of space food. Write down those steps, and we will be busy after coming back.”
“No problem.” Yin Dong pushed his glasses and nodded slightly.
The base has found materials to replace the pre-apocalyptic outer packaging of space food, and can begin production. It is said that the equipment on the truck for the Song family disappeared before it could be driven back to the Song family’s car. Although there is some rumors about who did it, no one has made it public, and Yan Xin also pretended not to know.
There has been no news about the Song family’s father and daughter recently. It seems that they disappeared together with the car. Instead, the forces that originally belonged to the Song family are now actively in private contact with Yan Xin.
He Zizhong and his wife helped build the new base and ignored some of the things Yan Xin was going to do in this base. Yan Xin and the others also seem to know that although these the couple is a powerful force, they have absolutely no ambitions. Whether it was before or now, they just cooperate silently with others. As long as their things are allocated on time and appropriately, any assigned tasks will be done perfectly.
They are two extremely sharp knives, and they are sharp knives that don’t need sharpening, so Yan Xin allowed them to do what they want to do. As long as they can be used at critical moments, and don’t drop the chain at critical moments, they won’t say much even if they sleep until the sun rises.
So, the very relaxed couple ran out after the construction of the stronghold, and went to the villa where they used to live to inquire about the situation. The situation of their house was different from that of other teams. This house is nominally owned by He Zizhong, and it was from before the end of the world…cough, well, it belongs under He Zizhong’s name from the beginning of the end of the world, so they can’t be so cheap with others!
The two took out their own Cavalier 15. This car hadn’t been used in a long time, so even He Zizhong was a little handicapped when he drove it. In short, as soon as the car started and parked at the door of his villa, the people who were guarding the first floor of the villa rushed up to the second floor, and pulled their head from the bed who was sleeping.
This Cavalier 15 was very famous in the base before He Zizhong and them others left. Anyone with information knew that this car and this villa belonged to the same owner. Some people set their sights on this villa and car after they left the base on the mission, but they didn’t even see any furniture, let alone cars! Who knows where they hid the car? Or which space ability has such a large space?
He Zizhong’s car and Guo Bing’s car were taken out after they officially entered the mall. Although those military vehicles are enough for them to sit in, these vehicles are stronger and more comfortable after all. After Yan Xin learned about it, he did not take away these vehicles. When they need it, they need to lend it to the team.
Yan Xin’s team does not have a name yet, and almost everyone in the base calls them “that team”. It sounds like the “WWHO”1This is the phrase the author used. I’m assuming it’s some kind of meme type thing? in a novel, making Guo Bing and them embarrassed when they hear it.
The people occupying He Zizhong’s villa is just a small force in the base. They did not participated in the meeting a few days ago, nor have they seen He Zizhong and Fang Hao with their own eyes. They were able to live in the villa was because their feet were quicker, the villa was on the outside, and the security was not as high.
Hearing someone coming, the captain of the team crawled downstairs to see the tall and mighty off-road vehicle outside from the window. Terrified, he wanted to turn back upstairs and pretend that he was not there.
“Boss! You can’t not go!”
“Boss, didn’t the base pay them compensation? We live in this house without any problems, what are they afraid of?”
“Yes! Didn’t we pay compensation??” The captain slapped his forehead and straightened his back. Nowadays, those so-called leaders naturally refuse to suffer any losses. After getting that list, the base leaders came to ask for things and supplies in person, and their team also gave things.
But in the end, they can’t be at ease with things taken over by force. They were worrying about this for the past few days, and only now did they see He Zizhong and them so rudely coming to the door.
Open the door – the lock on this door has been violently broken and is now replaced with a simple chain lock.
Fang Hao frowned when he saw traces of damage left beside the keyhole on the door. His heart grew even more unhappy.
“Uh, the two of you are here…” The leader’s expression distorted for a while before he settled on a “flattering” smile, which seemed a little lacking in confidence.
He Zizhong and Fang hao both wore sunglasses. The pair gradually stopped wearing color contact lenses since they were revealed to have level 4 abilities. After returning to the base, because their eyes were different from ordinary level 3 ability users, they took out their sunglasses again.
Opening the door and getting out of the car, He Zizhong looked up at the windows on the outer wall and the upstairs window with all kinds of clothes and underwear hanging on it. He couldn’t help be disgusted: “Come and see our house.”
The leader was embarrassed, so beside him quickly cleared the siege: “We have already paid the requested supplies to the base, and now this house…”
Fang Hao interrupted him before he finished his words: “We didn’t rent this house. It was ours before the end of the world.” This kind of private property is different from the house leased with food supplies. It still belongs to the owner. Even if there are some fees to be paid, all that is required are some management fees. Private subletting of houses allocated to others by the base is not allowed in name, but people with so-called real estate, such as He Zizhong, can rent their own houses at will.
Angry Fang Hao! 😠
