Ghost Animal Maker of the End Times

A soft opalescent light glowed in the dark stone house, illuminating the poorly decorated but crowded room.

Xia Fei looked around for a week, and found that there was an open space covered with clothes at the corner, which should be the place where the little old man slept.Around his sleeping position, except for some strange-shaped metal semi-finished products and weird tools, there are thick papers on the ground. He hasn't seen this kind of product of civilization for a long time. Seeing it now, he couldn't help but feel a little touched.And what really caught his attention was the doorway, where there were piles of bright, colorless powder as fine as sand grains, like ground crystals, crystal clear under the milky white light, refracting bright rays of light, it was too beautiful to behold.

"What is that?" Xia Fei asked curiously, feeling a little familiar.

The little old man grinned, walked to the side of his "bed" without hindrance among the obstacles all over the floor, bent down and picked up a spar - an elliptical transparent crystal nucleus, inside which grew a There are traces of blood, a very ordinary zombie crystal nucleus.

"Look out, kid." The little old man held the crystal nucleus in his withered hand that looked like an old ghost's claw, and spread it out after a few seconds, the crystal nucleus in his hand was split into two, one was colorless and transparent , one is bright red.

Xia Fei raised his eyebrows calmly, isn't this the energy spar?This kind of ability really does not belong to him alone.

The little old man triumphantly threw the red spar in his hand: "Very greedy, right?"

Xia Fei couldn't help laughing: "Mmm, I'm very greedy." He caught the spar, held it in his hand, absorbed it into his body very skillfully, and then opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Unexpectedly, unexpectedly..." He It seemed that he was a little slurred with excitement, and he could only look at the little old man in shock, with longing in his eyes: "Can you try another one?"

Mu Yanxing looked at him helplessly, and then looked at the little old man with the words "proud and proud" engraved on every crease on his face, and sighed helplessly, not knowing whether to laugh or sympathize a little.

The little old man extracted another red energy crystal nucleus, but threw it to Mu Yanxing.

"This spar can be exchanged for crystal nuclei." The little old man calculated very carefully, "Go and hunt ten zombie crystal nuclei, and I will extract three energy spars for you."

"Then what about the remaining seven?" Xia Fei asked in a dazed and ignorant manner.

The eyes behind the lens narrowed slyly, and the little old man snorted coldly with a half-smile: "Did I help you for nothing? Of course it's wages!"

Xia Fei suddenly nodded, this business is really profitable!

"You can't absorb the zombie crystal nucleus, and it's useless to hold it. Only the pure energy extracted by me can you absorb and evolve. You can judge by yourself whether you gain or lose." The little old man thought for a while before saying, "Inhabitation area It seems that there is also a task points system, the points can be directly exchanged for energy crystals, I can’t remember this old man, if you want to know, you can ask that kid Xie Moxuan yourself.”

The old man threw the two extracted colorless crystals into the crystal powder at the door: "You just asked what this is - find a supernatural person to crush the crystals in a while, and there will be more powder in this pile." a little bit."

It turned out to be the crystal nucleus powder whose energy has been extracted?

"What's the use of this?" Xia Fei asked tangledly. For the convenience of walking along the way, they threw away all the absorbed crystal nuclei as waste—what use are crystal nuclei without energy? !

If it is really useful, then I really want to feel sorry for him.

When it came to his own experiment, the little old man's eyes were a little more eager: "I named these transparent crystals without energy the original stone. The original stone is a good medium for storing energy."

Xia Fei collected his mind and was ready to accept the blockbuster theories.

In the settlement, except for his assistant Tian Yutian, no one else is interested in the little old man's research theory and process. They only care about the research results and what benefits these achievements have for the settlement, but no one has ever Care about the breakthrough theory that the little old man really put his heart and soul into.

To the proud little old man, all this is undoubtedly a genius standing among the lay people, unable to communicate, not understood and not recognized, feeling empty and lonely.

So when he met Xia Fei who showed his curiosity and thirst for knowledge, the little old man's heart immediately became active, and he wanted to talk, and he was as fanatical as an ultra-nationalist terrorist, pulling his comrades along. As soon as I made a call, it seemed that I had returned to the occasion where the experts gave speeches before the end of the world, and there were rows of eager and focused eyes below.

——The little old man's proud little heart was healed at last.

Mu Yanxing was dizzy from a bunch of strange words, he could understand every word, but when those words came together, he was completely confused.After resisting for a while, his head was so big that he pulled La Xiafei's sleeve, indicating that he was defeated and left the field first.

Xia Fei thought Yan Xing could endure anything, but he didn't expect this person to be afraid of this.While secretly suppressing a smile, he waved his hand slightly to signal Yanxing to wait for him outside.

Mu Yanxing exited the stone house in a daze. It was more terrifying than reciting classical Chinese when he was a child. How did Xia Fei manage to listen with gusto?

He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, he vaguely felt some movement in front of him, and then raised his head, he saw the person who was stunned by him just now, together with seven or eight other people, approaching him with malicious expressions on their faces.

According to Xie Moxuan, the superpowers with high strength value in the settlement either participate in patrols or go hunting in the underground world every day. Only a few people will stay in the settlement, and these people are often high-level people in the settlement—in short, they will not be These idle guys in front of me.

Therefore, these people are either just ordinary people, or they are supernatural beings with extremely low force values ​​and their abilities are used as auxiliary functions.In a word, nothing to worry about.

Mu Yanxing knew what these people wanted to do, and thought they would recruit a few supernatural beings to find a place.He glanced back at the stone house, and found that these people seemed to be jealous of this house...they should be the old lunatics who are jealous of it, right?

He couldn't hold back his mouth, but those people couldn't help it.

"Don't talk about anything else. Just now you took advantage of people's unpreparedness to hit me and brother, now you have to apologize, or..." A tall man with a short cut head raised his chin at Mu Yanxing, "Find a place, let's come again in a fair and honest manner. One match!"

Mu Yanxing calmly took a step forward: "Where is the place?"

"Uh..." When he found that his momentum could not overwhelm Mu Yanxing, the man was stunned, but soon laughed, "The rift valley is so big, why can't you find the place?" He pouted forward, "Let's go."

The Rift Valley is very large, and after walking out of the settlement, there is enough open space for people to play.

Mu Yanxing stood at one end, and the other eight stood at the other end.

Mu Yanxing thought, if Xia Fei saw this scene, he would come up with some ridiculous moths.Thinking of that delicate man who was usually shrewd and calm but always full of small problems, his lips curved slightly.

In the eyes of the other party, this smile is pure contempt and provocation.

"Let's talk about the rules first." The short-cut man was wearing a close-fitting vest with bulging muscles, "Everyone is from the underground forest. It would hurt the harmony to get angry with supernatural powers. It's not easy to give up if there are any casualties." Thank you boss for explaining."

Mu Yanxing frowned in confusion, and after thinking for a long time, he realized that the familiar word "underground forest" was the name of the settlement.

But his silence made the other party more confident.

"Everyone in the room is not allowed to use their powers!" The man with a short cut smiled in control, "They are all men, let's talk fist to fist!"

Mu Yanxing blinked slowly, fist?

The smile on his lips deepened, with a touch of nostalgia: "Okay."

As for Xia Fei in the stone house, he didn't know what happened outside at the moment.

He listened carefully to the little old man's eloquence.

The rough stone mentioned just now is the zombie crystal nucleus whose energy has been completely absorbed, transparent and flawless crystal.Capable of absorbing supernatural energy.

Using this characteristic of the raw stone, the raw stone powder at the door can detect the level of a person's abilities.

The little old man said that he knew that the wind-type supernatural being who came to the night spy before was in the same group as Xia Fei.That person used a wind blade, and after the wind blade fell on the rough stone powder, the energy was naturally absorbed.By observing the depth of discoloration of the transparent powder, one can know the level of the ability of the wind element user.

The reason why the rough stone is ground into powder is also because this can increase the contact area between the rough stone and the ability, and absorb as much energy as possible.

The Ability Detector that Xia Fei cares about is also based on this principle.

There are invisible supernatural energy escaping from the supernatural beings all the time.The raw stone powder can capture these dissipated energy and emit a shimmer after absorption.

The little old man is most proud of discovering these functions of the rough stone.

The raw stone can be used to store energy. For example, the opalescent light in the stone house is a new type of light bulb after the raw stone is infused with Xie Moxuan's lightning power.Of course, the operation is very complicated, how to store energy, how to use it, even Xia Fei is quite at a loss to hear these.

Similarly, if the raw stone is injected with fire-type abilities, it may go underground in the future. When there is a lack of combustibles, people can use such rough stones to replace the fire to keep warm and cook food.

If the raw stone is infused with water-type abilities, it can probably be used as a piece of water-permeable soap to cleanse the body.

Except for the idea of ​​the rough stone light bulb, which was just completed not long ago, the rest of the ideas are just ideas. The little old man is still exploring and experimenting, hoping to use things like rough stones to replace all the products of civilization that people used to rely on in their lives.

Because, the civilization of the past has been destroyed, and people can no longer rely on it.

The vision of the little old man made Xia Fei feel awe, and the research results that the little old man tried to do and what he had done made people also have to marvel.

Maybe another civilization can really be created.Xia Fei thought, maybe this is the first step in the beginning of the end-time civilization.

Xia Fei looked at the little old man again, with a little more respect in his eyes, because this person in front of him, no matter whether he is for his own tireless thirst for knowledge, or for the survivors struggling to survive in the last days, he is working hard to change the future of mankind .

Even if what he does may not affect the whole world, what he is doing now can already give people hope for the future.

Because what he considers is not how to live, but how to live, how to reproduce and pass on from generation to generation, and form a new civilization and life.

The respect in Xia Fei's eyes made the little old man quite satisfied.

His clear eyes turned into a crescent moon, and the wrinkles on his face stretched out: "Just now you asked, zombies can evolve by eating people, but can they evolve by eating their own kind?"

The little old man appreciated Xia Fei's ability to raise this question, because it was also a question that he had puzzled and experimented with.There are many supernatural beings in the colony, and if a task is issued with energy spar as a reward, some supernatural beings will capture the supernatural powers for him alive - of course, to capture his testing site, not in this colony.

"Of course." The little old man affirmed, and rummaged through the ground to pick up a crystal nucleus filled with orange filaments. "The crystal nucleus of an evolved zombie is this color."

Xia Fei's eyes were fixed, and his Adam's apple rolled in depression - he really wanted to eat it!

Fortunately, the little old man quickly dropped the crystal nucleus: "Every time I see it, I want to absorb it directly, but there is only one, so I have to study it carefully."

Without seeing the crystal nucleus, Xia Fei's mood also calmed down a lot.It turns out that the reason why seeing the red silk crystal nucleus is no longer attractive is because he has a taste for it?Do you have to have a higher level crystal nucleus to attract him?

"I'm also very interested in this research. Can you help me as an assistant?" Xia Fei called out the title sincerely, "Teacher An."

The little old man adjusted his glasses and snorted proudly: "If it was before the end of the world, it would not be so easy to be my student!"

Xia Fei smiled, and said solemnly: "I know, I am so lucky."

"It's good to know." The little old man pointed to the outside of the house, "Go and clean up, and let Xie Moxuan build a house for you next to you. Come here when you are free."

Xia Fei accepted with a suppressed smile, feeling that this shriveled little old man who looked like he crawled out of a coffin was a little less sinister and a little more cute.

He turned and left the stone house, but he didn't see Mu Yanxing outside the house. He looked around strangely, just in time to see someone walking towards this side with steady steps.

"Yan Xing, where have you been?" Xia Fei looked at the faint smile on the man's lips, and was very curious. He was dizzy just now, but his mood improved after a while, "Did you encounter something?"

Mu Yanxing shook his head: "It's nothing important. Where are you going?"

Yan Xing said it doesn't matter, so it doesn't matter.

Xia Fei shrugged his shoulders: "Ask Xie Moxuan for a house." He leaned his body around Mu Yanxing's waist, with a bright smile and a charming voice: "Yanxing, can we build a stone house together?"

Mu Yanxing stared at his sparkling eyes, as if he was aroused by the seductive corners of the eyes, and as if he was confused by the concubine's lips, he nodded slowly and agreed. A "good" word.

Xia Fei smiled and bit the man's lip: "That's great."

Mu Yanxing felt the powerful beating of the heart in the close chest, and thought quietly, yes, that's great.

At a time like this, who still remembers a few big men who collapsed not far from the settlement and wailed all over the place.

"Who the hell said that I have more muscles than him, bastard!" Bancuntou was rolling on the ground with difficulty, unable to get up, and was knocked down with a fist. Do you want to hurt people's self-esteem like this? !

The man who was stunned before moaned weakly, comforting others and himself weakly: "This one focuses on quality but not quantity. Their skills are absolutely professional." He paused, then continued, "I think Ask him to teach me... I don't know if he will be willing."

After a moment of silence, some people echoed, "I'll go too."

"Count me in……"

"If you apologize well..."

……

In the last days, even ordinary people want to do their best to become stronger.
