Apocalypse World Reboot

"So that's how it is now?"

Xu Xian looked helplessly at the several people in charge of the base who were quarreling in the conference room. Originally, he didn't intend to come, but basically all the capable team representatives in the base were summoned. It's not a problem to go.

It's a pity that these team representatives didn't play a role at all, they could only watch from the wall and watch as a few leaders started to quarrel when they disagreed.

"If you don't send troops to clean up so many zombies in the outer city, the consequences will only be more serious! Do you want the base to be destroyed?"

"The most important thing now is to defend the inner city and keep the fire of humanity. There are so many people in the outer city. Once infected with the zombie virus, we can't control it at all."

"That can't just be left alone. We must investigate the cause of the riot and find out the rioters! The people who are not infected are temporarily placed in the inner city. In addition, the army must be sent to wipe out the zombies. Fortunately, once the situation expands, attract A large number of mutated animals will be the real disaster at that time!"

Although these people are quarreling, they didn't disclose any private matters. On the contrary, they implied that once the situation escalated, people in the entire base would not be able to escape.

As a result, many people around Xu Xian began to fidget.Xu Xian had to lament that it was really a good show, and politics is something ordinary people can't handle at all.

Sure enough, the next few people in charge quickly reached an agreement to send a team of troops to carry out the clean-up work, and issued a task to recruit a corpse-hunting team as the main force, and at the same time gave relatively generous rewards.

From the early days of the base's establishment until today, the base has a very strict control policy on materials. The teams that go out to collect materials usually have to hand over half of the materials, and they can also choose to use crystal cores to redeem these materials.For ordinary people, crystal nuclei are useless, and being able to exchange for the materials they need is the most important thing for them.Of course, in order to keep the crystal nucleus, some teams can only choose to turn in supplies, but this is a very small number after all.

As a result, the base confiscated a huge number of crystal nuclei through this method.At the same time, use crystal nuclei and meteorites as raw materials to produce antidote] potions and new weapons, stimulating the various survivor teams to continuously purchase and consume these products.In this way, both crystal nuclei and materials can be easily collected.

Don't look at the many shops and stalls in the base today, the larger ones basically have a backstage, and ordinary people basically can't make a lot of money in business, because the materials are firmly controlled by the base.

Nowadays, even an ordinary tortilla is worth a crystal nucleus. Although the price is lower than before, people who don't go out to hunt zombies basically have no income.In addition to receiving some tasks that ordinary people can do, such as sweeping the streets and cleaning up waste, they can only rely on government relief food to survive.But there is only one meal a day, and it is the cheapest black bread, even the elderly and children cannot sustain it.Without the ability to protect themselves, they may be robbed and blackmailed by others. Some young or middle-aged people in general cannot adapt to life in the last days, and many of them will have the idea of ​​revenge against society while degrading themselves.

It’s no wonder that civilian riots always happen one after another. You must know that many times it’s not evenly distributed, and the common people are not saints. They can sacrifice themselves to help others. Everyone knows that being kind at this time is tantamount to seeking death.

Xiao Wu looked very serious, leaned close to Xu Xian's ear and lowered his voice, "Fourth Young Master, do we want to move into the inner city temporarily?"

Xu Xian shook his head lightly: "It's useless, the inner city is just more troops, besides, what do you think that wall can do? It's just deceiving yourself. By the way, have you notified Xu Jin?"

Xiao Wu nodded: "I've already said it, and the young master also responded, but he will definitely not come back in a short time."

Xu Xian waved his hand nonchalantly: "If you can't come back, you won't come back. Even if you come back, you might have to be pushed out to top the bag. There's no need for that."

Xiao Wu also agrees very much, but is really worried about Xu Xian's safety: "Otherwise, we will send some more people. Now that the outer city is in such a mess, it is really impossible to borrow some people from the third young master."

Xu Xian rolled his eyes at him: "Do you think he might be so kind-hearted?"

Xiao Wu smiled apologetically when he heard the words: "Why are you brothers, the third young master can't do too much, right?"

Xu Xian sneered, sarcastically: "Then you underestimate him too much."

After the meeting, Xiao Wu and Wang Hai escorted Xu Xian back. Along the way, they encountered many teams hunting zombies.Compared with the frantic escape at the beginning of the end of the world, people now have learned how to deal with zombies.Coupled with the powerful new weapons, even if the streets are full of zombies biting people everywhere, few people will be afraid.

Xu Xian sat in the car and looked out. He clearly saw a burly muscular man who slapped a zombie flying with his palm and dug out the crystal nucleus in the brain with his bare hands. Although the picture was extremely bloody, Xu Xian's attention The power is concentrated on the muscular man.

Obviously, this person also belongs to one of the evolutionary humans, and is a new type of human being that evolves in the direction of strength.

Seeing this, Wang Hai couldn't help but click his tongue: "This is too powerful, it seems that I have to hurry up and practice." Several of them have secret books in their hands. Although their physical fitness has also improved, because they don't have the blessing of meteorites, In addition, Xu Xian has taken a lot of spiritual spring water, and now he is completely relying on himself for cultivation, and it can only be said that he is constantly trying to break through the limit.But in this way, the foundation is absolutely solid, without relying on external objects to advance, it is completely one step at a time.

Xu Xian said with a smile: "You don't have to envy them, too much is too much, it's better to keep your feet on the ground."

Wang Hai scratched his head in embarrassment. He was very envious of those people in the base who successfully evolved with their research results, but he also knew that only one tenth of this group of experimenters really succeeded, and the sequelae of failure were quite serious.He didn't have the courage, so he didn't dare to try it lightly.Besides, even if it's just an experiment, it's not something that ordinary people can participate in.

Xiao Wu was driving the car, and when he heard the words, he also looked outside, and said casually, "It's the base's special formation, no wonder there are so many evolutionaries."

Just as he was talking, an old man with a white beard in Taoist robes quickly flashed beside him. He was holding a cinnabar talisman in his hand, and he was concentrating on dealing with a second-level zombie in front of him.

In addition to this old man, there are several young women in alien costumes driving a black poisonous bee the size of a chicken to attack a mutant lion.

There are not many mutated animals coming in from the outer city, but each one is very troublesome. This lion is five times the size of an ordinary lion, with a silver body and red eyes. At this time, it has already been harassed by poisonous bees.

Suddenly, a few bloody tentacles drilled out from under the silver lion's feet, and tied the silver lion's limbs tightly in a neutral position. , extremely terrifying.The multi-pronged and tacit attack caused the Silver Lion to retreat steadily. It let out howls, high-pitched and piercing. At this time, many mutated animals who heard the sound joined the battle.

The people in the car and other bystanders were all dumbfounded. Watching the battle from such a close distance gave them a great shock.

Xu Xian frowned, "Hurry up and go."

Xiao Wu hurriedly stepped on the accelerator and drove away from the dangerous zone.

Wang Hai still patted his chest with lingering fear: "Good guy, this is too powerful, who are those women? They can easily control even third-order mutant animals, and that underground..."

"Wang Hai!" Xiao Wu interrupted him with a yell: "Where are you talking so much nonsense!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the expressionless Xu Xian, and Wang Hai followed the trend. Xu Xian was leaning against the car window and meditating.

Xiao Wu couldn't help being amused, shook his head and continued to concentrate on driving.

Xu Xian was already full of thoughts, and he knew something about strange people and strange things, but he had never seen such a powerful person from the beginning to the end, and it might be because he avoided reality before and was indifferent to these things, anyway, for the better To adapt to this society, he must work hard to improve his own strength and cannot completely rely on Xu Jin.

Xu Xian made up his mind to work hard, and after that, the operation to exterminate zombies and mutant animals in the base was in full swing.However, the residential area around Xu Xian is very peaceful. The main reason is that the surrounding protective buildings were built before the end of the world. It is very effective in resisting the invasion of zombies and mutant animals. In addition, it is relatively quiet and will not attract too many zombies.

Xu Jin led a large army and was still doing missions outside. The zombies fought batch after batch, and the mutant animals also gained a lot. During the battle, his physical skill level had a qualitative leap, and now it has jumped to level four , and there are three levels of spiritual power.

In contrast, Xu Xian's mental power is at level four, but his physical skills are only at level two. This is the result of hunting zombies and nourishing the spiritual spring water in space before.

Through the book, Xu Xian learned that there is a clear division of mental power and physical skills, and the higher the strength, the easier it is to control this new type of weapon, and it can exert more powerful power.

Although I don't understand the principle of this new type of weapon for the time being, this does not affect Xu Xian's enthusiasm for working hard to improve his strength.

Compared with the past, he began to practice more regularly. Apart from spending a little time every day to sort out the space for planting and harvesting crops and livestock products, he also sorted out the collected unnecessary materials and prepared to exchange them for other items.

In addition, Xu Xian also formulated a practice plan, in addition to meditation practice, there are also various sports such as running and shooting.Occasionally, he would also participate in the base's corpse hunting operations to earn a certain amount of crystal nuclei.

Perhaps because there were too many meteorites absorbed in the space, it didn't take long for Xu Xian's mental power level to rise to the fifth floor.At this time, "Nine Palaces Jue" opened up a new part to him, about the use of mental power and three skills.

Mind control can give special hints to the destined object, perform mental manipulation on it within a controllable time range, and even make the object ignore and forget itself.

Spiritual search, search for a target within the range, and the frequency can be used once a day.

Mind shattering is a mental attack ultimate move that can give the target the maximum brain death. The target is an intelligent creature with a lower level of mental power. If the target's mental power is higher than itself, it may suffer backlash.

In fact, the corresponding mental power needs corresponding physical skills to cooperate, because once the gap between mental power and physical skills is too large, it is likely to cause unforeseen harm.Xu Xian intends to increase the level of physical skills and temporarily suppress the continuous improvement of mental power.For this reason, he suspended his daily meditation practice and began to increase physical training.
