Data Wasteland

Under her skillful and precise movements, the iron filings slipped down one after another. The pattern carved on it is called "rune circuit", which can increase the flow speed of psychic energy. Chen Xing saw it, but it was a bit strange. The gun was made of ordinary materials and did not mix in mithril. Even if the rune loop was engraved, it would not work.

About half an hour later, Aaliyah put down the knife and stretched her waist, looking like she's done.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xing frowned and was about to question, but saw the former take out the medicine box, took out a silver needle, bit his silver tooth, and pricked his finger.

A blood bead that seemed to have a golden snake wandering around and surrounded by red flames fell into the rune loop and spread rapidly, like flowing molten iron.

Seeing such a scene, Chen Xing's heart was terrified. He didn't expect that the blood of the flame demon could still be used in this way.

"It's cheaper for him." The blood seemed to be insufficient, and she murmured, squeezing an extra drop.

Before long, the blood filled the entire rune circuit, emitting a shimmer of orange and red, as if a trace of heat rushed toward him. After a while, the glimmer gradually faded away, and the blood disappeared without a trace.

Aaliyah took out some tools again, took the gun apart, polished the parts one by one, and put them back together, and finally installed a triple scope.

"Don't say that I did it." Aaliyah handed the gun to Chen Xing, and said with some irritation, as if she felt a loss.

"Of course, this is the little secret between us." Chen Xing said with a smile. As soon as he took the hand and poured a small amount of psionic energy, he noticed a change.

First, the speed of energy storage has increased significantly; second, he felt that part of the psionic energy was converted into heat energy. Although the total energy remained unchanged, for most mutant creatures, such as living corpses and corpse dogs, the heat energy was more effective. .

After coming out of Aaliyah, Chen Xing went to the pharmacy again, and exchanged all the gold coins exchanged by the four gold bricks for potentiation potions, and then sent the three gold bricks to the mayor’s mansion, and then returned to the underground water station to improve his strength. .

During this time, Chen Xing asked Suna to move north as soon as possible, away from the underground survival center No. 65 and Lanhua Town, and dig new ant dens to avoid danger in the future and too late to retreat.

Not to mention the steam giant silkworm inside the iron gate, it may not be long before someone finds an underground survival center. When that time comes, the forces from all over the world will send people in, and the vicinity of Orchid Town will become unsafe, and ant dens may be found at any time.

But Su Na only needs to move 20 kilometers north, and then dig down the original ant den, it will not attract the attention of the strong. After all, there are so many ant dens on the Red Earth Continent. Unless it is related to the underground survival site No. 65, no one is interested in going deep underground and having trouble with a small colony of ants.

During the injection of medicine and exercise, time passed unconsciously...

Half a month later, Suna ate all the corpse of the Crypt Tarantula. Her belly was not only fatter, but also a hard carapace grew.

She is now like a container truck nailed with steel plates, armed to the teeth. The carapace on the belly of the insect was smooth and translucent, and all the rifle bullets bounced away, leaving only a shallow scratch. And her vitality was also absorbed by the Golden Spider Queen, breaking through 1,800 points, approaching 2,000 points.

In addition, the pair of sickle feet at the top of her foot has also undergone a fundamental change. It was originally only slightly larger than the other feet, but now it has become extremely thick, dozens of times the size of the other feet. With a sickle, granite can be chipped.

Su Na seemed to use endless strength to dig the tunnel herself and migrate to the north. The excavated soil is transported by the worker ants to the original nest for landfill.

During this period of time, Chen Xing has also improved a lot, his strength has risen by 3 points, now it is 18, his agility has risen by 4 points, now it is 25, his physique has risen by 2 points, now it is 12, his spiritual power remains unchanged, and it is still 15. .

This strength is only one step away from the standard elite level. It's just that his power growth is getting lower and lower, and it's almost time to use intermediate potions. The talent is too low, there is really no way, can only rely on money to make up.

At the beginning of October, the weather started to cool, and the air became more and more dry.

Quik returned to the water station and said that he had contacted a tribe willing to move, but Chen Xing had to be there to reach an agreement with the chief. He marked the specific address on the map, then left and headed to the next tribe.

Chen Xing spent two days adjusting his physical condition and getting ready to enter the depths of the wilderness.

But before he left, a major event happened that caused him to cancel the trip.

The pathfinder worker ants dug an underground ant nest more than 20 kilometers north of the underground water station.

That is a nest of mutant red ants. Compared with termites, red ants are smaller, but their combat effectiveness is much stronger. An average of 1.5 termite workers can compete with one red worker ant.

Since both sides are experts at digging holes, once they encounter it, it will be the result of endless death. Only one queen is allowed in the same area.

Chen Xing quickly called up the encyclopedia and looked it up.

[Mutated Red Imported Fire Ant, Scientific Name: Abyssal Red Imported Fire Ant]

[Native Place: Plane of Abyss]

[Distribution area: Multiverse carbon life zone]

[Habits: Group Biology]

[Traits: Psionic affinity, sulfur affinity, telepathy]

[Introduction: This biome inhabits the cliff wall of the bottomless abyss. It is an omnivorous creature. It has poison glands in its body. It is released through the sting of the tail. It can absorb and use psychic energy skillfully. It likes to swallow sulfur. Spit out a high-temperature flame...]

After watching for a long time, Chen Xing discovered that the biggest difference between mutant red fire ants and mutant termites lies in the decomposition and absorption of substances and the difference in combat effectiveness. The former is powerful in combat and has a variety of attack methods, while the latter seems to have no other means other than using ant tongs to bite. But the latter is extremely adaptable, and when it grows up, it can eat everything, what it eats, and even the entire planet can be swallowed.

It can only be said that each has its own strengths, but at this stage, the advantage of the mutant red imported fire ant is very large.

Also, Su Na suffered a series of losses, and just after fighting the spider swarm, she was killed a lot. It can be said that it is a matter of life and death.

Naturally, Chen Xing couldn't leave, and quickly descended to the ant nest to fight alongside Su Na.

The red fire ants move very quickly, and within five hours they have entered the deepest part of the nest.

A large number of termites guarded the hatching room to prevent the red fire ants from injuring the eggs. These are the foundations of ant nests, and once they are hit, they are devastating.

Of course, due to the existence of Chen Xing, even if only Su Na is left, there is no problem. But if there is no external force, the queen who loses its children will have difficulty even looking for food.

"Squeaky!" "Squeaky!" "Squeaky!"

The red fire ants are only one-half the size of termites, but they are extremely fast and densely packed, crawling over the corridors, and rushing quickly.

Chen Xing said nothing, with a "ding", he pulled the buckle of the burning grenade and slammed into the tunnel.

I only heard a sound of "raging", the flames filled the tunnel, and the red ants made painful neighs, bursts of burnt smell puffing their noses.
