The Scavengers

Before 10 o'clock on October 19

What method did Xiao Mo think of?

His inspiration comes from the word upgrade.

It is expected that if his abilities can be upgraded, then in theory it should be possible to eliminate viruses, or at least drive them out of the human body.

But at present, his ability cannot be upgraded quickly in a short period of time, so what should we do?

Then he thought about the slow infection of Linghu and the others because they were supernatural beings, which showed that the body cells of Linghu and the others could resist the attack of the living dead virus to a certain extent.

Among the four, Linghu was in the best condition, and Lin Xiaofei was in the worst condition, which seemed to be related to their abilities.

At present, there is no detailed differentiation of the levels of abilities. Some people are researching, but there is no result yet, but Xiao Mo has energy crystals and systems, which are already ahead of most people with abilities, so he has already noticed that every time the ability When upgrading, the energy nest will change.

He doesn't know whether everyone's energy nest changes the same, but after contacting many supernatural beings and many supernatural animals and plants, he has gradually summed up a rule:

For a person with a first-level ability, the energy nest is full of mist, and the color and thickness of the mist will vary depending on the content and severity of the ability.

The fog in the energy nest of the second-level power user will turn into a water flow, and the water flow will also appear as a pond, creek, river, lake, ocean, etc. according to the content of the power and the degree of power. The color of the water It will be different too.

For those with third-level abilities, the water flow in the energy nest will condense into granular solids.The size and color of the particles determine the ability and energy content of the supernatural person.

Above the third level, Xiao Mo has neither broken through nor seen it, so he doesn't know what kind of energy nest it is for the time being.

Judging according to this law, Linghu is currently at the peak of level one and close to level two, and most of the mist in his energy nest has turned into liquid.The other three are all first-level supernatural beings.Among the three first-level practitioners, Lin Xiaofei is the weakest in terms of energy content, and Kang Lu is slightly stronger than the researcher.

"You said I'm still level one?" Linghu was surprised, he always thought he had already reached level two.

Xiao Mo nodded, "You have almost reached the second level, but you haven't completely transformed yet, maybe you haven't absorbed enough energy normally."

"But now every time I run out of energy, I have to absorb the conversion energy of a thousand alloy particles to refill it. No one else is like me." Linghu saw that Xiao Mo seemed to know more than Bao Yuezhi and the others, and thought I would like to take this opportunity to ask a little bit more, even if I die, I will be a sensible ghost.

Xiao Mo explained: "Maybe it has something to do with your ability. The lightning ability should be a big energy consumer. Even if the level of this ability is low, the power it exerts is stronger than other abilities, but you should already feel it. Every time you After using the power about two or three times at a time, you will feel that the energy is exhausted, and the more powerful the lightning you send out, the more energy you will consume."

"I see. Can you judge the level of a supernatural person?" Linghu asked suddenly.

Xiao Mo was about to explain that he needed to see the energy nest to know, but Xue Lihong interrupted before he could finish his sentence: "There is not much time, boss, chatting can wait later."

Xiao Mo immediately changed his words: "Anyway, the way I think of now is to help you level up. This requires your cooperation. I will provide you with... the concentrated conversion energy of alloy particles. You can absorb it first and see if you can rush to the level immediately. Level two, if you can’t, I will help you, but at that time I need your complete trust in me, don’t deny my energy to enter your energy nest.”

Linghu understood a little when he heard this, "You mean if my ability level can be raised to level two, I can suppress the living dead virus by myself?"

"This is just my guess. It's like some people who exercise regularly and are very healthy are not easy to catch a cold, but those who are not in good health are easily infected. According to my inspection and speculation, the living dead virus The current level of activity is not very high. I speculate that the virus also has a level change. Let’s call the current living dead virus level [-]. In comparison, anyone with a level of ability can compete with it, but there is no difference. Ordinary people who are capable basically have no resistance to it.”

"Contest, but not defeat, so I need to upgrade to level two, so that I can completely suppress it?"

"Yes, I speculate that once you can reach the second level, the white blood cells and other warrior cells in your body will actively destroy the living dead virus, or destroy it so that it cannot be upgraded. In other words, at that level, the living dead virus It won't work for you."

Having said this, Linghu already fully understood, "Then what is my danger?"

Xiao Mo did not hide the slightest bit, "Upgrade. Ordinary upgrades need to be passed smoothly, but now you need to force a breakthrough. If the breakthrough is not good, the ability may be delayed. The worst thing is that the energy nest is destroyed, and even the whole body is destroyed. You can't stand too much energy impact and explode. But your situation is the best among the four, you have already reached the edge of breakthrough, if you are lucky, you don't need my help, a concentrated conversion energy can send you to Level two."

Linghu stretched out his hand, "Come on."

Xiao Mo took out a secondary energy crystal.

When Linghu saw the energy crystal, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Is this concentrated conversion energy?He had only seen the ordinary conversion energy that extracted a hundred alloy particles before, but he didn't expect that there was also concentrated conversion energy. Why hadn't he heard of it before?Is this unique to the Zhongshan Base?And Xiao Mo obviously knows how to judge the level of abilities, so is it true that Zhongshan Base's research on abilities has long been ahead of other bases and even the world?

"This is not for free." Xue Lihong's slightly cold voice sounded again: "This kind of concentrated conversion energy is also called a secondary energy crystal, but the current output of energy crystals is very rare, and its energy content is equivalent to one hundred A piece of ordinary conversion energy, that is, [-] pieces of standard alloy particles, but in fact it can’t be counted like this. As for the reason, you will know when you use it. For this reason, plus my boss’ treatment fee, after you recover, you A total of [-] standard alloy particles needs to be paid."

One hundred thousand pieces!Linghu took Energy Crystal's hand and gave a pause.That's the total output of [-] people who can secrete alloy particles for a month or even a month and a half!Ask Zhang Hua, how many alloy particles are there in this base now?

"What? Do you think your life with lightning ability is not worth [-] alloy particles?" Xue Lihong leaned against the wall with an expression like a blackmailer.

Just as Linghu was about to say something, Xue Lihong said again: "This is a discounted price, and it depends on our friendship. In the future, no one will let my boss sell with such a cheap price."

Xiao Mo coughed dryly, he had provoked Xue Lihong many times today, but he didn't dare to tear him down again at this time, so he had to say nothing.

Linghu took a deep breath and held the second-level energy crystal tightly, "One hundred thousand is one hundred thousand. If I still have a chance to leave here, I will pay in full."

"Remember to pay the IOU."

"……it is good."

Next is the process of Linghu's attack, during which Xiao Mo doesn't have to do anything.

Kang Lu, the researcher and Lin Xiaofei all leaned against the glass wall at this time, watching Linghu and Xiao Mo nervously.

When Xiao Mo explained just now, he specially asked Xue Lihong to turn on the loudspeaker, and Kang Lu and the others and the soldiers outside the door could all hear their conversation.

While Kang Lu and the others were worried that their energy content was not enough to level up, they were also worried about the huge debts they would owe in the future, but the latter was a matter of surviving and could be put aside for the time being.

The method of the Linghuchong class is very rough, and this is the method that Bao Yuezhi and the others concluded after a lot of research.

Perhaps because there are no energy crystals with large energy content, and there is no systematic and suitable cultivation method, the general level of supernatural beings in the world is not high at present.

The moment Linghu started to absorb the energy crystal, he immediately felt the difference in the concentrated conversion energy of this so-called secondary energy crystal.

No wonder the indifferent young man said that he couldn’t treat this secondary energy crystal as a normal conversion, let alone [-] alloy particles. It’s really unnecessary to know, and you will know how big the difference is once you use it!

The energy in this energy crystal is not only majestic, but also very gentle. In the past, when he absorbed the conversion energy, he could clearly feel the pain in his body, and the energy nest would also ache, but this energy crystal made him not only I didn't feel any pain, but instead felt like my whole body was soaked in warm water.

And he no longer has to worry about having to stop and change another one after he has absorbed it to a certain extent. This energy crystal allows him to absorb energy continuously, and even gives him the illusion that no matter how much he absorbs it, he will not dry it up.

Linghu clearly felt that his energy nest began to fill up, and the mist inside began to condense into clouds.

Tick-tock, a drop of water dripped from the cloud formed by the condensed mist.

Slowly, more and more water droplets.

Light rain began to fall in his energy nest, and the light rain turned into heavy rain, until all the condensed clouds turned into raindrops.

The people outside were so nervous that it took Linghu more than two hours to level up.

Time passed bit by bit, Xiao Mo looked at the clock on the wall, it was already six o'clock in the morning, if it would take so long for everyone to level up...

There are still four hours until the ten o'clock agreed between him and Major General Zhang Hua, what should we do?

Xiao Mo was preparing to let Kang Lu and others prepare, and planned to let the three of them level up together without waiting for the result.

Just when Xiao Mo got up to open the door, a large number of electric sparks suddenly erupted around Linghu's body.

The interior lighting flickers along with it.

An exclamation sounded.

With a flash of Xue Lihong's figure, she held Xiao Mo into her arms, pulled her to the corner of the wall, and at the same time ordered the soldiers not to come in.

Five minutes later, the vision disappeared, Linghu opened his eyes, and jumped down from the observation platform.

"How is it?" Xiao Mo wanted to run over but Xue Lihong stopped him, so he had to stand where he was and asked.

"I think I'm good, very good." Linghu held up his palm, and there was a round arcball in his palm. He played with it very easily, letting the arcball roll freely in his palm.

The soldiers outside raised their guns and aimed at Linghu.

Linghu didn't look at the soldier, but turned his hand to make the arc ball disappear, turned to face Xiao Mo, and said very sincerely: "Thank you!"

Although Xiao Mo only provided one energy crystal, not to mention the rarity and preciousness of the second-level energy crystal, but the direction given by the other party is enough for Linghu to be grateful, because what the other party gave is a chance to live!

Xiao Mo gently pushed Xue Lihong's hand away, and stepped forward, "I need to check the status of the living dead virus in your body."

Linghu stretched out his wrist without the slightest hesitation.

Xiao Mo held his wrist and closed his eyes to check.

Kang Lu and others waited anxiously for the result.

The living dead viruses seem to have changed. Not only have they become inactive, but even their structure has changed.

Xiao Mo subconsciously called up the mission map, counted the red dots carefully, only nine of the ten red dots remained, did he succeed?

Xiao Mo suppressed his ecstasy, and in order to be sure, he asked the system in his mind: "Is Linghu no longer in the scope of recovery?"

The system's answer was simple and clear: "Yes. The living dead virus on his body is no longer contagious, nor can it combine with the trigger."

Xiao Mo's heart moved, "What is the trigger? Can I find the trigger and destroy it directly?"

It's a pity that the system's answer chilled him thoroughly, "The trigger is distributed all over the earth, and recyclers are currently unable to destroy and recycle it."

Xiao Mo's expression changed, "The whole earth? Are you saying that there are living dead viruses in other places?"

"It's not related to the task, so I won't answer it."

Xiao Mo's mind was greatly shaken, and he could only pray that the recyclers in other places would be more decisive and capable than him.

When he opened his eyes, his expression didn't have time to change, almost causing Linghu and the others to misunderstand.

Linghu's heart sank, "Why? Or not?"

Xiao Mo quickly shook his head, smiled and said: "Congratulations! The living dead virus below level two will no longer cause any harm to you, and the virus on your body is no longer contagious. In short, you are safe."

Linghu's mood at that moment was as if he was on a roller coaster, and the others were similar, and Dingli almost yelled out loud.

The soldiers were also very happy, and one of them said excitedly: "I'm going to tell our chief the good news!"

"Wait, there are still so many people who have not recovered. I think, at ten o'clock, Major General Zhang and the others will probably come over." Xiao Mo stopped the soldiers who wanted to announce the good news.

The researcher had already knocked on the glass inside, and shouted eagerly: "Doctor Xiao, is it my turn? According to the previous order, I'm the second!"

Kang Lu's face changed, they didn't know the ten o'clock agreement, but Xiao Mo mentioned that the time limit was twelve o'clock, and there were still six hours until twelve o'clock.

When Xiao Mo was arranging the order, he didn't expect that it would take so long to level up—his previous two upgrades did not exceed an hour, but he also had a solution, and he had to do so.

Linghu took the initiative to enter the big room, and the other three came out together.

In fact, with Linghu's ability, especially since the gunshot wound in his abdomen has healed - TOEFL Yu Xiao Mo's previous repairs, ordinary rooms can no longer hold him.But luckily Linghu is more self-conscious, one is that he is grateful for Xiao Mo's rescue, and the other... is that he cannot estimate the strength of that young man named Xue Lihong, so he would rather continue to play the role of a prisoner.

But with Linghu's ability, Major General Zhang Hua wouldn't imprison him for a long time. Xiao Mo guessed that Major General Zhang would negotiate terms with Linghu and let him change jobs.

The three of Kang Lu came out, lined up from left to right according to the level of energy content.

Xue Lihong emptied the center of the small room, pulled over three tables, and let the three of them lie side by side.

Xiao Mo asked Xuelihong to take out the energy crystals, but Xuelihong only took out three first-level ones.

"Level [-] is not acceptable, they must go to level [-]." Xiao Mo pulled Xue Lihong aside and said in a low voice.

Xue Lihong shook her head, "Their strongest ones are only at level one and mid-level. Giving them level two energy crystals to absorb now will not only fail to help them level up, but will blow them up. Give them level one first and let them absorb it. Every time they reach the peak, you help them restore their bodies to the best condition, let their bodies adapt to the changes after the upgrade, and use the second level after their bodies and energy nests can withstand the impact of the second level Energy Crystal."

Xiao Mo exhaled, patted Xue Lihong on the shoulder, "You are right, I am too impatient."

Seeing him looking for Kang Lu and the others with three first-level energy crystals, Xue Lihong felt a hint of worry in his abyss-black eyes.

Maybe Xiao Mo knew in his heart that these three people, plus the six people lying inside, could be rescued by him...

But it's better than doing nothing, Xiao Mo probably thinks so.

Xiao Mo told the three of them the danger of trying again.

Kang Lu and the researcher are okay, they also know the danger, but when there is no other way to go and there are successful examples, they are willing and even eager to take the risk.

Only Lin Xiaofei, he was still too young, after hearing Uncle Xiao's repeated emphasis on danger, the child grabbed Xiao Mo's clothes and begged, "Uncle Xiao, I want to see my parents."

Xiao Mo stroked the child's soft hair, feeling entangled in his heart.After he promised the child to let him meet his parents last time, he specifically went to find the child's family members.It turned out that Lin Xiaofei's parents turned out to be Ni Wei's loyal confidantes, and they all took guardian beast eggs, not bought, but Ni Wei personally rewarded them as rewards.

It's just that Lin Xiaofei's parents didn't expect that after they took the guardian beast egg, their master would feel that their child was a burden, and he didn't want to raise it for nothing, and he didn't want others to find out the strangeness of his parents through this child. Frenziedly inoculated such a small child with the living dead virus.

Now that Ni Wei has been recovered and all his guardian beasts are dead, where is he going to find a pair of parents for the child?

Xiao Mo had no choice but to comfort the child: "Xiao Fei, the virus in your body is contagious now, and your parents are not allowed to visit you until your illness is cured. As long as you recover from your illness for a while, you can run away by yourself. I went to see your parents, and I can give them a surprise, okay?"

Lin Xiaofei bit his lip and nodded obediently, but he still didn't let go of Xiao Mo's clothes.

The researcher was worried that Xiao Mo was biased, so he hurriedly said: "Shall we start? Can you see the three of us? Or come one by one? Just follow the order we agreed before."

Kang Lu rolled her big ginkgo eyes at the researcher, grabbed the energy crystal and began to absorb it.

Seeing that Kang Lu had taken the lead, the research institute cursed inwardly, and immediately calmed down and began to absorb the energy crystals.

"Xiao Fei, do you know how to absorb energy and level up?" Xiao Mo asked Lin Xiaofei in a low voice.

Lin Xiaofei shook his head. Before this, he didn't know that he had supernatural powers, nor did his family members. If Ni Wei knew that this child had supernatural powers, he might treat this child in a different way.

Xiao Mo didn't look back at Xue Lihong, put his mouth next to the child's ear, and whispered to him how to absorb the energy crystal correctly, and helped him find the location of the energy nest.

The child touched the bottom of his navel, obediently put the energy crystal on it, and pressed it with a small hand.

"Close your eyes, don't be afraid, and do as I tell you."

An hour passed, and Xiao Mo took turns repairing the three of them, so that their bodies could be maintained in the best condition after each energy shock.

Every time they are full of energy and hit the energy nest, the bodies of these three people will change a little, especially the energy nest.

Normally, this kind of behavior must be trimmed for a period of time, because impacting the energy nest will cause certain damage, and a period of time must be given for the body and the energy nest to adapt and develop to the point where the second impact can continue.Continuous impact will only increase the burden on the body, and even cause the energy nest to collapse.

And what Xiao Mo did was to help them save this natural recovery time, and always keep their bodies and energy nests in the best condition after impact, so that they can continue to impact.

Seven o'clock, eight o'clock, nine o'clock...

It took more than two hours for the Linghu Chong class, let alone these three people?

By nine o'clock, Xiao Mo was exhausted, as if he had been fished out of the water.

The soldiers were originally standing at the door, but now they all crowded around the door and stretched their heads to look in, with anxious and worried expressions on their faces.

Xue Lihong only provided energy crystals during the whole process, and there were no other unnecessary actions and words.

Linghu in the big room also noticed that the possibility of the three of them succeeding might not be great.

At 09:30, Xiao Mo's legs were already shaking, he left from the researcher and walked towards Kang Lu.

Grabbing him with one hand, the male voice who was obviously indifferent but made him feel warm whispered in his ear: "Choose one, there is still half an hour, you can use all your energy to help the other party fight, but the three of you ...is bound to fail."

Xiao Mo closed his eyes and let himself be weak for a minute.

The young man behind supported his body, rubbing his palm gently on his arm.

Xiaohong didn't force him to choose anyone, but he knew intellectually that he should choose Kang Lu, because he had the most energy and mentality among the three, and he had the greatest chance of success.

But emotionally, Lin Xiaofei was undoubtedly the one he wanted to help more.

Who to choose?

After 1 minute, Xiao Mo straightened his body, opened his eyes, made up his mind not to look at the other two, and walked resolutely towards the goal he chose.
