Apocalyptic Spirit Master

Chapter 385 Changes
With the beginning of the Lunar New Year, the weather began to warm up, and the sun, which hadn't shown much for almost the whole winter, began to appear frequently in the sky above.

Although due to the angle of illumination, the sunlight at this time cannot bring much warmth to people, but the whistling north wind has just stopped, and the snow on the four fields has slowly melted away stand up.

In various survivor colonies, teams of evolutionaries have already started to go hunting, hoping that the new year will have a good harvest and a better life than before.

At a place about 10 kilometers southeast of Houtu City, there is a small settlement of survivors called Chenshan City. This settlement is built against a mountain and has a population of less than [-].

In Chenshan City, which has less than 10 people, the proportion of evolvers is about two-thirds. The highest rank of evolvers is only a sixth rank, and the rest of the backbone are only three or four ranks.

Since the entire city is built on the mountain, and the population is insufficient, most of the survivors in Chenshan City rely on hunting to obtain the necessary survival materials. There is very little arable land around them, and they are also vulnerable to zombies and monsters. .

Although it was early spring and the weather was still extremely cold, in Chenshan City, teams of evolutionists had left the settlement one by one, and set off to the surrounding mountains or zombie concentration areas to hunt for necessary living supplies.

Niu Xiaotie is a third-order evolutionary in Chenshan City. He is nearly forty years old. Unfortunately, when the end of the world comes, all his family members have died. Now there is only one lonely family left, and his life is not too big.

If a third-level evolutionary only needs to consider his own survival, hunting some low-level monsters around the settlement, or hunting some low-level zombies at the edge of the zombie concentration area, it is still easy to survive.

However, now Niu Xiaotie only feels that there is a heavy burden on his shoulders.

In the past New Year's Eve, Niu Xiaotie fell in love with a widow with two children in Chenshan City, and has started living with the widow.

The widow is just an ordinary person with the qualifications of an ordinary person, and she has to bring two children. One can imagine how difficult life is, and it is lucky to be able to get together with an evolutionary like Niu Xiaotie.

All of a sudden, there are three more mouths to eat, and Niu Xiaotie's savings have been exhausted in less than a winter. If he doesn't go hunting now, he will soon have nothing to eat.

Regarding this, Niu Xiaotie didn't complain at all. He treated the widow even better than he had treated his wife and children, and his heart ached.

After more than a year and nearly two years of living in the last days, Niu Xiaotie deeply understands that some things are more important than life, and for these things, sometimes he can completely give up his life.

Today, compared to the previous few days, the sky is exceptionally clear, and the temperature seems to have increased significantly. There are twice as many evolutionaries out hunting in Chenshan City than in the past.

Niu Xiaotie has always been an honest person who doesn't talk much, so he doesn't have many friends in this new world after the end of the world. Every time he goes hunting, he is almost alone, and this time is no exception.

But compared to every hunting in the past, Niu Xiaotie has worries in his heart this time, and he will cherish his life even more, so as not to let him wither easily under the attacks of zombies and monsters.

Therefore, Niu Xiaotie decided not to hunt monsters in those mountains this time.

After a cold winter, most of the monsters who started to go out must have been hungry for the whole winter, and they were more difficult to deal with than usual. Niu Xiaotie didn't want to encounter any accidents.

In comparison, it is a little easier to hunt and kill zombies in the ruins of various cities at this time.

Although it was early spring, the temperature was still hovering below zero, and most of the zombies hadn't recovered their usual mobility. They were as stiff as mummies, so hunting them should be much easier.

Although today's zombie ranks have also made great progress and often move in groups, it is not very difficult to find some lonely guys, all you need is a little patience.

Niu Xiaotie, on the other hand, has never lacked patience.

Before going out, Niu Xiaotie checked his equipment for the last time amidst the widow's endless urging, hugged the widow and gave him a deep kiss, and shouted "wait for me when I come back" without looking back. Step out the door.

A third-level evolutionary who is used to moving alone, one can imagine how crude the equipment on Niu Xiaotie is.

The weapon is just a good alloy knife, although it is not shabby, but it is definitely not high-end; Its defense is not so good, it can only resist the attacks of the minions of the second-order monsters.

The total value of this kind of equipment is less than a second-level yellow crystal. In the eyes of some rich and handsome people, it is not even considered garbage, but it is the tool for Niu Xiaotie's family of four to make ends meet.

Now that he decided to hunt zombies, Niu Xiaotie didn't set off towards the mountains like other evolutionaries, but chose a road going south, heading directly towards the ruins of a large city in the south.

In the ruins of that large city, there are almost millions of zombies. It is said that the highest-level zombies have reached the ninth level, and most of the ordinary zombies have reached the first level or above. It is simply a hell for evolution. , there have not been too many evolutionaries who dare to enter.

The reason why Niu Xiaotie dared to come here is because beside the ruins of this large city, there is a small county town, in which there are almost a hundred thousand zombies, and there are almost no high-level zombies, as long as he is careful not to If you go deeper, there won't be too much danger.

Of course, not too much danger means not too much gain.

After walking on the muddy road for almost an hour, Niu Xiaotie came to the abandoned small county town. There were no other evolutionary figures in sight here. All kinds of dilapidated buildings filled his eyes. There were cars everywhere, with a thin layer of snow on top.

Holding the alloy long knife tightly in his hand, Niu Xiaotie slowed down and began to look around vigilantly at his surroundings.

Now it is no different than a year ago. Most of the zombies have completed the advanced level, and it is rare to see zombies without a level. Even the first-level zombies are no longer mainstream. Even in this small county, it is estimated that There are already large zombies above Tier [-] wandering around.

With Niu Xiaotie's current strength, he could barely deal with a third-tier zombie, and thanks to the cold weather, otherwise, in a warm environment, a third-tier zombie would definitely be able to chase him and run away.

Cautiously sneaking into the ruins of this small county town, Niu Xiaotie didn't dare to be distracted in the slightest, and really managed to listen to all directions and see all directions.

Perhaps it was because the weather was still relatively cold, after turning two streets, Niu Xiaotie hadn't found anything yet, so his luck was really not good.

However, Niu Xiaotie will not regret the direction he chose this time. He wants to go hunting under the premise of being as safe as possible. The most suitable place for Niu Xiaotie alone is the city ruins where there are not many zombies.

Here, if you accidentally encounter a large group of zombies, there is basically hope of escaping; and if you are targeted by high-level monsters in the wild, Niu Xiaotie will never be able to escape the monsters even if he has two extra legs. The hunt of the beast.

"Damn it, there must be something to gain today!"

Niu Xiaotie spat, and cast his gaze deeper into the ruins of the county seat. Since there were no zombies on the periphery, he had to take risks and go deeper. Returning empty-handed was absolutely impossible.

After crossing another street, Niu Xiaotie finally found the trace of the zombie.

However, Niu Xiaotie's face was pale, and a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead, and then trickled down a little bit, his pupils constricted suddenly, and he breathed unconsciously. It got heavy.

On the former main street of this county, the wide space was densely packed with zombies of all sizes, and it was hard to tell how many there were. Although they were frozen stiff like mummies by the still cold weather, they still Can bring great fear to people.

Niu Xiaotie's legs trembled for a while, and he almost wanted to turn around and leave, and never come to this place again after being beaten to death.

He was sure that some mutation must have happened to these zombies, so they all gathered on this wide street, like assembled soldiers, preparing to launch a large-scale battle.

Among these zombies, it was obvious that several large and small circles were formed according to their level, and there were scattered zombies constantly joining in the alley farther away.

Tens of thousands of zombies crowded here densely, and even bulldozed a row of low buildings, and trampled many abandoned cars on the street into discus.

"Damn, what happened to these zombies, how did this happen?"

Niu Xiaotie's legs moved back quietly. He only had one thought in his mind at the moment, that is to leave here quickly, and not to disturb the zombies gathering inside, otherwise he would have no hope of escape in the face of tens of thousands of zombies chasing him .

Taking one small step at a time, almost moving slowly, Niu Xiaotie slowly left the central area of ​​the abandoned county town with sweat on his head, and after leaving the zombie colony hundreds of meters away, He quickened his pace and ran quickly.

At this moment, Niu Xiaotie had only one thought:
He had to tell the people in Chenshan City what happened here as soon as possible. His intuition told him that these zombies would not play here. This kind of vision is definitely not conducive to the safety of the surrounding survivor settlements.
