The drifting city of the last days
Chapter 44
The transparent ice layer got thicker and thicker, and gradually spread to the bottom of the bed. The five people in front of the bed were quickly forced to retreat by the expanding ice layer.
"Brother Luo Zhen will be okay?" Wu Fei looked anxiously at Lan Shan, the only one who had undergone an upgrade. Now the whole room is like a freezer, and the temperature has plummeted. Luo Zhen and the wooden bed are frozen in ice. , like a huge piece of amber.
Lan Shan shook his head, "I didn't feel any discomfort at the time, but I'm not sure about his condition."
Shao Yunfan poked the evil spirit on his shoulder with his finger, 【Is he all right? ] He couldn't explain why, but he just felt that the guy on his shoulder who was having a fight knew it.
The sulking Comrade Xie twisted his buttocks arrogantly and ignored Shao Yunfan.
Shao Yunfan: ……………
"Don't worry, everyone, his purple light gathers on his forehead, and the moon is wide open, which is a sign of great luck." Zhang Junjiu said slowly, with a faint smile on his lips.
As if echoing his words, the ice that wrapped Luo Zhen and the bed began to melt rapidly after 30 seconds, and disappeared without a trace after a while, but the bed and Luo Zhen's clothes became extremely damp, Even the hair collapsed into locks.
The five people calmed down, and stood aside holding their breath, for fear of disturbing Luo Zhen.
"Why are you standing here?" A voice suddenly sounded from behind everyone, it was Xiao Shen.I didn't see Qi Liang next door, but when I came to this room, I found everyone was there.
"What's wrong with him? Do you need to find a doctor for him?" Xiao Shen looked at Luo Zhen on the bed, seemingly unintentionally asking.
Qi Liang blinked innocently, "I don't know yet, but it shouldn't be necessary. What do you want me to do?"
"Last time you mentioned the token currency matter, Wei Ge was very interested, I drew up a preliminary plan, and I want to discuss it with you." Xiao Shen smiled politely, but his eyes were always on Luo Zhen's side .
"I'll look for you in half an hour." Qi Liang nodded, no, it seems a bit careless.He didn't want others to know about the upgrade.
Xiao Shen nodded and left full of doubts.
Less than 5 minutes after Xiao Shen left, Luo Zhen opened his eyes.The moment he opened his eyes, his whole face was radiant, and his originally handsome features became even more handsome.
"It's done." Luo Zhen's thin lips curled slightly, and he reported the situation to the five people in front of him concisely.Spiritual energy beads are indeed rare treasures for mutants.He has successfully upgraded with just that one.The power in the body is now rushing outward like a fountain, impatiently looking for a chance to release it.
"It really worked?" Wu Fei excitedly ran to Luo Zhen's side, looked around, and found no obvious difference, so he unceremoniously stretched out his hand to pinch his biceps, and studied while pinching, "No change. ?”
"How does it feel?" Shao Yunfan walked over and pulled away Wu Fei, who was just about to take off his clothes after slapping on Luo Zhen.Everyone else looked at Luo Zhen like a panda.
"My whole body is full of strength, as if I had drunk a stimulant. The volume of the "bottle" has doubled. Moreover," Luo Zhen flicked his left hand, and an ice cube the size of a fingernail burst out of the air, crashing into it like a bullet. In the cement wall, a hole about two centimeters deep was left. "I now seem to be able to change the density of the ice cube and increase its firmness."
Lan Shan walked over and touched the hole, "This is no less powerful than a bullet. If it is the body of a human or an ordinary mutated animal, it should be able to penetrate it."
"Then Brother Luo Zhen is equivalent to a submachine gun with ice-made bullets?" Wu Fei looked at Luo Zhen enviously, it was so cool, and there was no need to change the magazine, which was really convenient.
"It can only be regarded as a miniature pistol." Luo Zhen raised his eyebrows. "The range should only be effective at 20 meters. To reach the level of a submachine gun, it is estimated that it must be upgraded by at least one or two levels." The range of a pistol is generally about 50 meters. It will be doubled even more.
"Satisfy you!" Shao Yunfan patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and you can take advantage of all the good things!If you continue to upgrade like this, maybe one day you will be able to fire an ice bomb!
"It's already very good." Qi Liang quickly converted in his heart, "If your current limit is ten cubic meters, it is equivalent to making 1000 million rounds of such bullets, which is basically invincible in melee combat. Moreover, the protective shield created , and the safety factor will increase a lot.”
Luo Zhen shook his head, "No, this kind of high-density ice will take more effort, and it's not bad if it reaches [-]% of what you said."
"That's super powerful." Wu Fei looked at him longingly, and admired him sincerely, "Brother Luo Zhen, you will be like a humanoid weapon from now on."
"When you reach the second level, you might be even more powerful." Luo Zhen looked at Wu Fei. Every mutant should have an even more astonishing performance when he reaches the second level.
"It seems that humans still have a glimmer of hope." Qi Liang looked at the mutants around him. Although animals and plants have become more dangerous due to mutations, as long as there are strong mutants as a line of protection, humans can still survive in this cruel place. survived under the conditions.
"That said, I'm looking forward to the upgrade." Zhang Junjiu curled his lips. His ability is the most special among the crowd. I don't know what changes will happen?
"Hurry up and go to sleep, tomorrow we will go out to catch fish early in the morning!" Wu Fei waved his arms full of enthusiasm and urged everyone to go back to the room, wishing that he could go out immediately to find the spiritual energy beads, and then rush to upgrade.
After everyone dispersed, Shao Yunfan and Luo Zhen found a little trouble.Luo Zhen's clothes and bedding are all wet, and the clothes can be changed, but the bedding can only be taken outside to dry tomorrow.
In desperation, the two had to squeeze together on the same bed.
"Ten years ago, I would have kicked you down." Shao Yunfan gritted his teeth looking at the handsome face opposite.
"You hated me before?" Luo Zhen looked at Shao Yunfan pretending to be surprised, and put his arm around his waist.
"..." I hate it now!Shao Yunfan pinches Luo Zhen's hand and throws it back, what are you doing with his hands and feet?
"Why do you hate me?"
Shao Yunfan frowned, falling into distant memories, why he couldn't seem to remember at first.In short, this guy just overwhelmed him with everything, which made him very unhappy.No, this doesn't seem to be disgusting, is it jealousy?Or the desire to win.
"If you really hate me, just fall in love with me." Luo Zhen raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully.
"Huh?" Shao Yunfan looked at Luo Zhen with a questioning look of "did your brain freeze in the ice just now?" You can only fall in love with someone you like, and fall in love with someone you hate. Looking for abuse or making life difficult for yourself?
"Actually, I just want to defeat you. Otherwise, when my spirit refining technique is upgraded, I will direct evil spirits to fight with you?" Shao Yunfan was eager to try. Since he was a child, he seemed to have no memory of defeating this guy.
"You are wrong. The best way to defeat a person is to fall in love with him and conquer him. Love is the kind of war that makes people lose everything and die without a place to die." Luo Zhen said seductively, his eyes were deep, and he stretched out his hand again. On Shao Yunfan's waist, it is definitely not his style not to take advantage of it.
"..." Shao Yunfan frowned, as if something was wrong.Shao Yunfan, who was a little confused by Luo Zhenjian's proposal to take a slant, was half a minute late before throwing Luo Zhen's hand out.
"Sleep." Shao Yunfan turned his back, is Luo Zhen planning to play him again, the best way not to be fooled is to ignore him.
In the dead of night, when Shao Yunfan fell asleep in a daze, Luo Zhen turned around, stretched his hands forward along Shao Yunfan's waistline, wrapped his long arms around him, and finally embraced him unimpeded.
He rubbed Shao Yunfan's neck, and added softly, "You have already won. The one who loves the most is destined to be unable to turn over."
For the next four days, Luo Zhen and the others went out to sea non-stop every day. Except for Qi Liang who never boarded the boat, Shao Yunfan and Zhang Junjiu basically took one day each.
After expanding their targets to upgraded mutant animals, their predation became extremely difficult.Just like most of the mutants are still at the first level, it is very rare for mutant animals to upgrade.The chances of being encountered by them are even smaller.Because, these days, they often spend hours idling on the sea without getting anything, and finally they can only hunt and kill a few fish on the way back to pay the "rent".
Their extraordinarily diligent actions aroused Xiao Shen's curiosity even more. Taking the opportunity to discuss things with Qi Liang, he would always inquire, intentionally or unintentionally, what happened to Luo Zhen that day?Did their frequent trips to sea have something to do with that day?You must know that other mutants on the island would rather hide in their rooms and sleep for a day when they have rent to pay, and would never go out to take risks.
Hongmao didn't seem to report anything about City S to Wei Ge, probably planning to keep it in his hands as capital.I don't know how he explained it to the boatman back then, and they all seemed to be silent on it.
After discussing with Luo Zhen, Qi Liang kept the part of the spiritual energy beads, and vaguely revealed the news to Xiao Shen, "The last time Luo Zhen went to sea, for some reason, the upper limit of his ability seems to have doubled." Now they go to sea every day , I just want to find a way to trigger his ability improvement.This kind of explanation is not only reasonable, but also basically informs Wei Ge and Xiao Shen that there is a way to enhance the abilities of mutants, the most important information.If Wei Ge is a smart person, he will definitely find ways to confirm and find ways to strengthen the strength of mutants on the safety island, so that people who stay on the island will be safer in the future.
Similarly, Qi Liang also directly reminded Xia An with the concept of upgrading.Regardless of whether Xia An finally decided to go or stay, the Queen of the Sea still gave them a few days of extremely quiet time.
On the fifth day, they finally caught another upgraded squid and found a fingernail-sized spiritual energy bead in its body.As a result of the lottery, Zhang Junjiu absorbed the spiritual energy bead, and he also successfully upgraded, with amazing results.
His time stasis ability not only doubles the duration and area, but also can "liberate" a person in the stasis effect, and move freely with him.Although they can only "let go" of one person for the time being, for them, it is already a last move like lore.
When they went out to sea the next day, they found that Wei Ge also took four or five mutants out to sea behind them.
For nearly half a month, Luo Zhen and the others went out to sea like tops, while Qi Liang wandered around the free market every day, looking for all kinds of supplies that they might need after leaving the safety island.For example, canned food with a long shelf life, seasonings, compass, clothing, etc.During this period, the token currency system of the safety island was also formed and introduced, which is called "island currency".Each island currency can be exchanged for one day's rations, and each day's rations can also be exchanged for one island currency.When mutants come to the island, they will be given three island coins for free.
Hongmao went to City S twice more, and brought back more than 300 people in high spirits. Shao Yunfan searched deliberately, but did not find Zhou Ye, Han Zheng, or the young couple he met in the apartment.Red Mao also got his wish and got attention. Wei Ge made an exception and allowed him to live in the inner area of the safety island as an ordinary person.
As for Shao Yunfan and Luo Zhen, apart from waiting for Wu Fei to upgrade, they were only one ship short of their plan to leave the safety island.
"Why don't you exchange the news of the spiritual energy beads with Wei Ge?" Qi Liang suggested.They had to prepare with both hands. If Xia An decided to stay, or leave the boat to his companions, what they desperately needed was a boat.And this news is definitely worth more than a yacht to Vigo.
"Brother Luo Zhen will be okay?" Wu Fei looked anxiously at Lan Shan, the only one who had undergone an upgrade. Now the whole room is like a freezer, and the temperature has plummeted. Luo Zhen and the wooden bed are frozen in ice. , like a huge piece of amber.
