I take skeletons to the apocalypse

As soon as Xia Xi and Zhang Yunhan reached the second floor, they saw the eye-catching sign in the entrance lobby, checked in, and received the bedding.

Xia Xi habitually walked to the front and wanted to speak, but Zhang Yunhan pulled herself gently from behind.

Xia Xi turned around without knowing why, but Zhang Yunhan took a step forward and said to the person behind the counter: "We are here to check in. Can we have two rooms next to each other?"

When Zhang Yunhan was talking, she still looked down at the corner of the table and asked, obviously talking to strangers proactively like this was not suitable for her.

"Of course." Seeing the key in her hand, the staff member showed a courteous attitude, and pointed to the soft chair in front of her: "Please sit down. Show me your key, and give me another [-] contribution points."

Zhang Yunhan took out his key and a blank temporary exchange card, which contained [-] contribution points for motorcycle exchange.

The counter registered the information of the two people and took photos.He quickly completed the formalities for the two of them, and then handed over two cards.That card is a bit similar to the ride card before the end of the world, and it is specially used to store contribution points.The names and photos of the two people are printed on the surface of the card, corresponding to a unique identification number.

He then gave Xia Xi a new key, the number of which was adjacent to Zhang Yunhan's room: "One hundred contribution points are just one day's accommodation fee. If you need to continue staying, please hand in tomorrow's contribution points before noon tomorrow."

"Okay." Xia Xi took the key.

The man looked at Zhang Yunhan again, with a more polite attitude: "The sheets and bedding will be delivered to the room later, the first time you receive it, you don't need to consume contribution points, and you need to buy it later."

"Here." Zhang Yunhan handed him the card belonging to Xia Xi.

"Thank you." After Xia Xi took it, she took a look at Zhang Yunhan and said curiously, "Now, are you not afraid to take the initiative to talk to strangers?"

"Scared." Zhang Yunhan tilted his head, and took a quick look at Xia Xi: "But people have to learn to grow up. I can't always trouble you."

Xia Xi didn't expect to hear such an answer, and was a little dazed.

To be honest, it is not troublesome to take Zhang Yunhan with her. Although this girl is not talkative, she is extremely smart. She only needs a little communication to cooperate with her tacitly.

But Xia Xi also knew in his heart that he probably wouldn't take Zhang Yunhan with him for a long time, and it would be a good thing if she could grow up during this time.

From the north side of the registration hall, you will arrive at the single dormitory area.

The single dormitory room is a connected cubicle, which was changed from the original parking space.Each room is only half the size of a parking space, separated by a thin simple partition in the middle. There are no windows in the room, only a bed, a lamp, a socket, and a trash can.The bed was very narrow, tightly pressed against the partitions on both sides. The width was less than one meter, and the length was not enough. With Xia Xi's stature, if he lay flat, his feet would stick out of the bed.Lights and sockets are temporary, and the wires are exposed, which looks unsafe.

The wall panels and doors are not soundproof. Walking in the corridor, you can clearly hear the people in the nearby rooms talking.

At this time, it was still early to go to bed, and some people who came back got together and chatted in small groups.Xia Xi felt the strong power fluctuations around him, and found that more than half of the people living in this area were people with supernatural powers.

The rooms were not full, and the rooms Xia Xi and Zhang Yunhan were allocated were all new and looked fairly clean.

After Xia Xi entered the room, she had just eaten some cake to fill her stomach when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Xia Xi didn't feel any abnormal fluctuations outside the door, and felt a little puzzled.

When I opened the door, I saw only a tall stack of sheets and bedding being hugged by someone, blocking the door, and I couldn't see the face behind.

"This is your bedding." A muffled voice came from behind.

"Thank you." Xia Xi took over a stack of quilts and put them on the bed. The quilts were colorful, different colors, and did not match each other. They were probably just supplies from somewhere. Fortunately, they were washed before they were delivered, and they could still smell lightly. Fragrance of light laundry detergent.

The person who delivered the quilt was a little girl, only as tall as Xia Xi's chest.Round face, a pair of eyes are very bright.

She asked Xia Xi cautiously: "Are you a supernatural being?"

Xia Xi shook her head and smiled gently: "No."

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief, she seemed relaxed, blinked her eyes again, and said to Xia Xi in a businessman's tone: "My name is Lin Rou, I arrived at the shelter three days ago, I am very familiar with this place, yes I know more about this place than that in the introduction manual. I can introduce you to the familiar environment nearby, and also tell you various precautions here. I am very cheap, as long as three contribution points are enough.

The little girl is quite good at doing business, Xia Xi couldn't help but smile: "But I don't have any contribution points in my hand, what should I do."

"Ah, why don't you have any contribution points if you live here?" Lin Rou obviously didn't believe it.

"Only [-] contribution points were used to buy this host's residence." Xia Xi took out his card.

Lin Rou took Xia Xi's card in disbelief, put it on her card reader and pasted it, and sure enough there was only one zero egg.

"I really don't have any money..." Lin Rou stared at the card reader blankly, showing a tangled expression, then looked up at Xia Xi's face for two seconds, as if she had made up her mind: "Forget it. For the sake of looking good, I will introduce it to you for free. But in the future, if you have contribution points, remember to come to me if you need services.”

Xia Xi was noncommittal: "What services do you provide?"

"I can help you clean up the room. Because the shelter is not very ventilated, the sanitation standards of the room are very high. If the cleaning is not clean and the security team finds out, the contribution points will be deducted."

Xia Xi shook her head: "No need, I can clean up by myself."

"Then I can also help you run errands, such as delivering things, exchanging items, and going to public restaurants to buy food and water. There are long queues there every day, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth. I will help you buy, and only one contribution point at a time."

Xia Xi chuckled: "This is not bad. It sounds like a good deal."

"Of course." Lin Rou proudly raised her chest, "I'm the cheapest in this area. Everyone else needs two contribution points."

She also said: "I also take care of the cleaning work, washing clothes, washing socks, and brushing shoes, but you need to buy the water. The water here is produced by people with ice-type fire-type abilities. It costs ten contribution points for a liter. The same goes for the water you drink."

It's a good idea to use supernatural beings for production, Xia Xi thought for a while and asked: "Recalling the guard's punishment of Li Bufei before, he asked: "So electricity is produced by lightning-type supernatural beings? "

"That's right." Lin Rou nodded earnestly: "The adults have created a machine that can collect lightning powers and convert them into electricity. The electricity we use now is provided by people with superpowers. Because the cost of power generation is not high , so electricity is free.”

Lin Rou told Xia Xi many things again.

For example, there are four people in the top management here.They are Seer, Witch, Guardian and Hunter.They are all code-named according to the god card that the werewolf killed.

The prophet is the leader here, and the structure of the shelter was managed by him at the beginning of the chaos.

The witch is very mysterious, and she doesn't usually show up. I heard that she is a very beautiful woman, and she is also very powerful. The weapons used by the supernatural beings here, as well as the power generation equipment, are all thought out by her for the prophet. Said she was the prophet's girlfriend.

The hunter is a very powerful person. I heard that he served in the army before, and he was responsible for hunting and training newcomers.

The guard is the most familiar to everyone. He is in charge of the security team. He has a volatile personality, but he acts fairly.

And the work and rest here.

Breakfast at [-] o'clock, lunch at [-] o'clock, and dinner at [-] o'clock, you have to get stuck to eat hot energy cakes. Energy cakes cost [-] contribution points. It's not delicious, but it's enough for an adult to eat. It's the cheapest here food.

The rest period is from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] the next day. If you make noise during this time, your contribution points will be deducted if you are caught.

Lin Rou said that the high-paying jobs here are mainly for people with supernatural abilities, including hunting, security patrol, and water and electricity supply.There are not many jobs left for ordinary people. They are all manual labor and clerical work. The wages are only enough to sleep and eat energy cakes, and the positions have basically been filled.

"But if you have professional skills, such as chefs, handicraftsmen, doctors, architects, programming, and weapons manufacturing, they can be turned into protected objects and enjoy the lowest standard of treatment for supernatural beings. Or as long as you It looks really good, you can try to go to the service department.”

"Service department?" Xia Xi raised his eyebrows?

"Well, they serve the dignitaries in the refuge." Lin Rou showed a longing look: "The adults all live on the ground, and the conditions are much better than underground. If you can be selected to go up, even ordinary abilities No one can offend you, if you get the favor of any adult, then in this last days, I'm afraid that your life will be more nourishing than before the last days."

Xia Xi pinched the pass that the guard gave him in his pocket, and the smile on his face faded away.Lin Rou's tone of voice was innocent, but the words just now were so philistine that a child could not say: "Who taught you this?"

Hearing Xia Xi's question, Lin Rou showed a bit of ignorant anxiety, and quickly hid it: "They all said that..."

"It's my brothers and sisters who do the same business as me. We are young, and the work department does not accept them, so we can only do some work like this to fill our stomachs. I don't know anything. The people who live above are from shelters. People who are determined can follow them, and they will naturally live a good life."

"Maybe." Xia Xi opened his backpack and took out a piece of chocolate: "Thank you for your information, I don't have any contribution points, let this be your compensation."

The girl stared at the chocolate in Xia Xi's hand, stretched out her hand hesitantly, then struggled to retract it, with a determined expression as if she was going to the execution ground: "I can't take it."

Xia Xi paused, a little surprised.He read the price on the above, this piece of chocolate can be exchanged for dozens of contribution points, Lin Rou only makes a profit.

But before Xia Xi asked the reason, Lin Rou persuaded him first: "You must take care of the supplies you bring, we are all ordinary people without supernatural powers, it is not easy to make a living here. Don't you know , The contribution points from the sale of this chocolate can allow you to sleep in the whole shop here for a week."

"Here, if you spend all your contribution points and have no place to live at night, you will be kicked out of the shelter. Don't just spend it just because you have a lot of supplies in your hand."

Is this because he is afraid that he will be scammed by sending things indiscriminately?He's a pretty good kid.It is sensible, which makes people feel a little distressed.It has been less than a week since the end of the world. It is hard to imagine how a child with a good life can mature in such a short period of time.

Xia Xi thought of herself on the way to escape after the country was destroyed.At that time, he was not as sensible as this girl named Lin Rou.He is used to eating the finest food, wearing the most luxurious clothes, and living in the neatest room. He is used to being served and cared for in everything.

Ming Dynasty is dead, and there is only one guard left by his side, but he can't get rid of his princely and aristocratic coquettishness.

If it wasn't for the fact that he thought the medicine was too bitter on the day when he was sick, and cried and insisted on asking the penniless guard to buy him cakes, maybe the guard would not have left in such a rage, and has never been seen again.

"But no matter how hard life is, children still have the right to eat candy." Xia Xi stuffed the chocolate into the girl's hand.His eyes looked through him, as if looking at his past self.

For a long time, Xia Xi regretted it, thinking that if he hadn't been so self-willed and coquettish, he might have filled the eyes of the big guard with so much disappointment, and he wouldn't have been abandoned by the big guard.

But then he figured it out, he was not a few older brothers, he was never made to be a monarch, he was afraid of pain, insects, dirt, suffering, and death.That piece of cake was just the last straw that broke the camel's back. Brother guard's disappointment with him was piled up little by little.

He didn't eat the little cake in the end.

"But..." the girl struggled, she clearly wanted it, but she stubbornly refused to accept it.

Xia Xi regained consciousness from her past memories, and comforted her softly: "Although I am not a supernatural person, the sister who came with me is, so you don't have to worry about my useless contribution."

When Lin Rou heard this, she quickly glanced at the next door, and finally obeyed her heart, snatched the chocolate from Xia Xi's hand, and ran away.

When she ran to the door, she still felt a little sorry, stopped and said, "Then if you need anything in the future, I will run errands for you for free. You can also do laundry and socks."

"Yeah." Xia Xi responded with a smile, although he probably wouldn't have this need.But he likes this kind of simple-minded people, and he can feel a very warm power when getting along with them.In the last days, people will not feel too deserted.

After the girl left, Xia Xi leaned on the quilt, showing a rare bit of fatigue.Using magic is very mentally powerful. The spirit has been tense these days, and I have experienced many battles, and I have to endure the pain of backlash all the time, and my body is almost stretched to the limit.

He slowly unwrapped the bandage wrapped around his arm, and the backlash from his left hand spread all the way to his elbow, leaving only white bones underneath.

However, Xia Xi felt that there was nothing wrong with the bones. Like the skeletons he controlled, they moved more flexibly than before.

He directed the skeleton hand bones to help him make the bed, and then put Zhang Lin's skeleton together and stood it at the foot of the bed: "I will probably sleep very deeply tonight, so I will work hard for you to watch the night."

The skeleton patted the non-existent chest with his hand, and the mandible opened and closed, making a crisp Kabbah sound.

At eleven o'clock, there was a burst of music resembling the school bell outside the door, and the entire dormitory area gradually became quiet.In the cold and narrow single room, Xia Xi was wrapped in a quilt and had no dreams all night.

Early the next morning, Xia Xi was woken up by the radio in the dormitory.The voice on the radio was a refreshing female voice. After listening carefully, Xia Xi felt a bit similar to the female announcer from the previous radio station.

"It's 07:30 in the morning. Welcome to the Sanctuary of the Gods. From today onwards, you are a member of the Sanctuary. Those who entered the Sanctuary yesterday are requested to register at the entry area on the first floor before [-]:[-] a.m. and accept work assignments , actively contribute to the shelter. This allocation is mandatory, and those who do not obey will be sent out of the shelter."

"Notice again..."

Xia Xi clicked his tongue lightly. He didn't intend to stay and work in the refuge, but just wanted to use this place as a temporary foothold so that he could rest better at night.But since the distribution is mandatory, he has to deal with it.

Xia Xi took out a new roll of bandages from his backpack and wrapped them tightly around his backlashed arm.Put the skeleton back into the backpack again.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Xia Xi and Zhang Yunhan appeared at the entrance of the entry office together.The work of supernatural beings and ordinary people is different, starting from the screening channel in front, they are separated.

The average person's onboarding hall is crowded and somewhat disorganized.The registration form is collected at the front desk, and it is nothing more than basic information such as height, weight, and specialty.Xia Xi didn't want to find a job, so she just filled in as a student.None of the special features.

According to the process, after submitting the application form normally, you sit in the lobby and wait for news. The person in charge of each position will screen the information you need for an interview. If you are not called after an hour, you can leave directly.

Xia Xi had just filled out the registration form and hadn't handed it in yet. A handsome man next to him walked up to him, picked up his registration form, glanced at it, and asked, "Are you interested in coming to our service department?"

"Sorry, no." Xia Xi flatly refused, grabbed back her registration form, and was about to leave.

Perhaps the man felt that Xia Xi didn't understand the situation, so he raised his voice and made a condition: "The treatment of the service department is not lower than that of ordinary people with supernatural powers, and they can live upstairs, not the narrow single room in the basement, but a standard hotel room." level. If the service is good, you can get extra rewards from the adults. Don’t you really think about it?”

"I will, I will!"

Before Xia Xi could speak, several people who were waiting for work couldn't help but gather around, trying to sell themselves to the man.

"I used to be a waiter in a hotel. From washing dishes and serving dishes to making beds and making quilts, I have done everything proficiently."

"I was a special assistant to the general manager!"

"I'm a nutritionist!"

"I'm a masseuse!"

"I can do anything!"

The man ignored those people, and fixed his eyes on Xia Xi firmly, as if waiting for him to repent.

Xia Xi only paused for a moment before continuing to walk forward.

To be honest, it's quite exciting.He likes a comfortable and warm room, as well as good food.But to serve people?Sorry I'm not available.The magic has been recovered, and he just wants to seize the time to improve his strength.When he recovered his strength, it would be no problem to command the skeleton to build a palace for himself. Naturally, these things can be obtained easily.

Furthermore, the backlash on his right hand is very serious now, and it is not obvious that he is hiding it in the sleeve with a bandage. If he wants to work, he must show his secrets.

Unexpectedly, Xia Xi would not be tempted by such a condition. An anxious look appeared on the man's face, and he stepped forward to grab Xia Xi, lowered his voice, and confessed to him: "I'll tell you the truth, your appearance is very suitable for the guard. Follow me, if you are favored by the guards, both of us will benefit, this is a win-win situation."

It was the guard again.Xia Xi couldn't help laughing: "You know him very well."

"As a service staff, it is natural to understand the preferences of every adult." After the man said this, he felt a little wrong: "Have you met the guard?"

"It happened to happen once yesterday, and thanks to the guard, I saved my life." Xia Xi said as he pulled up his sleeves, revealing his arms wrapped in layers of bandages: "But it's a pity, I was mutated before I came here." A cockroach has bitten an arm, so it shouldn't be able to work for a short time."

The man looked at Xia Xi's arm and took a deep breath. He saw that the area covered by the bandage was much thinner than a normal arm, and it was covered with blood. The gap between the bandage and the upper arm could vaguely see rotting flesh and blood. Deep down.

The man had to give up the plan.Such a wound has almost no possibility of complete recovery. No matter how good the appearance is, recruiting a person who cannot use his arm into the service department will make people doubt his professionalism.

After the man left, Xia Xi's surroundings became quiet, and his name was never read again.After all, when other people fill in the information, they wish they could write more about their talents. Even if they don't have any, they should at least write something about hard work and hard work.Only him, a resume is mostly blank.

When the time came, Xia Xi came out of the job hunting hall and went straight to the exchange station.It was almost noon, and he had to get the room back up before twelve o'clock.

In addition to food, power spar can also be exchanged for a large number of contribution points.

The exchange office classified the power spar into grades.The coin-sized spars he picked up earlier belonged to the first grade, while the egg-sized spar he got from fighting the blood phoenix tree was classified as the second grade.Corresponding to this is the level of the supernatural monster.

This is similar to the classification of magic cores in the □□ mainland.

Xia Xi didn't touch the second-level spar, although it could be sold for a high price of [-] contribution points, but it was too easy to reveal her identity.Xia Xi exchanged five first-level crystals for five hundred contribution points.Three hundred for housing price, two hundred for cloth, scissors, buttons and needlework.

Shahi bought a large piece of thick black wool and a small piece of silk.In the last days, there are not many people who still have time to make clothes, so these fabrics are very cheap to deal with.

Xia Xi planned to use this material to make herself a hooded cloak and sew a pair of gloves.He worked as an embalmer for two years, so naturally he didn't talk about his needlework skills.As for the pattern, Xia Xi made it completely according to his necromancer robe in Wuer mainland.

In order to improve efficiency, he released skeletons in the room to work alone with six hands.At the beginning, he took the initiative to control the skeleton, but later found that the skeleton was much more proficient in sewing clothes than him, especially the hand that belonged to the old woman.

Xia Xi was simply responsible for providing energy and letting them act on their own.

An hour later, a black wool cloak and a pair of pure white silk gloves were formed.

A buckle was thoughtfully made at the cuff of the glove to prevent Xia Xi's skeleton from being too thin to hold the glove.

The cloak is long enough to cover the ankles.There are some silver decorative threads hanging on it, and the chest is fixed with a metal buckle.

The cloak is soft to the touch and windproof.Wearing it in this season may be a little hot.But Xia Xi just likes this soft material.

Zhang Yunhan only returned to his residence in the evening.When she came back, she hurriedly knocked on Xia Xi's door, her cheeks flushed and her expression a little excited.

Xia Xi opened the door to let her in. It seemed a little cramped for the two of them to be side by side in a small room. Xia Xi asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Yunhan said: "A member of the hunting team, the captain code-named Hunter, saw you fighting with skeletons and is looking for you everywhere. He should be in the car yesterday. But he probably hasn't thought of you as an ordinary person for the time being." Identity joins the Vault."

Xia Xi understood as soon as she heard it: "So you have joined the hunting team."

Zhang Yunhan nodded.

Xia Xi remembered Lin Rou's introduction last night. Among the work of supernatural beings, the hunting team is the best paid, with food and lodging included, and [-] contribution points a day.You can keep one-tenth of the supplies and crystals you find every day.It can also be exchanged for contribution points at the exchange station according to the official price.

Followed by the security patrol team, [-] contribution points a day, no share, but the advantage is that there is no need to leave the shelter, and the death rate is extremely low.

The worst ones are the hydropower stations and superhuman factories in the functional area.Generally, the supernatural beings here are either poor in physical condition, have no fighting talent at all, or are punished for doing something wrong.

"It's not bad," Xia Xi thought for a while and said, "The environment of Yiyi is not conducive to the improvement of abilities. If you want to upgrade your abilities, you must frequently use abilities to train, fight, and then absorb crystals to replenish them. These mutant creatures The evolution will definitely continue, and if you want to survive, you must run ahead of them. It is much safer to follow the hunting team than to fight alone to improve your strength."

Zhang Yunhan was a little surprised: "How do you know the way to increase the power level? What you said is exactly the same as the hunter gave us today's lecture."

"Guess." Xia Xi rubbed the tip of his nose. Naturally, what he summed up was his experience in practicing magic, but the way of cultivation was similar with minor differences.

"Tomorrow you are hunting, I will find a way to follow you, if you meet, you remember to pretend that you don't know me."

"You want to go out too?" Zhang Yunhan looked at his bandaged right hand, and said worriedly: "Then, what should I do if I get backlash? Why don't you stay here, I earn enough contribution points for the two of us every day, don't you Need work too..."

"Zhang Yunhan." Xia Xi interrupted the other party.Xia Xi lowered his eyes halfway: "I won't stay here for too long. I will leave when my ability recovers. So I also need to fight to improve my strength."

"Why don't you stay here for too long?" Zhang Yunhan's focus shifted to another place.

"It's too small here." Xia Xi said, as if he was talking about the room he lived in, or the whole shelter.

"But is it really okay to backlash? If you keep using your abilities like this, won't your body be dragged down?" Zhang Yunhan's eyes were genuinely worried.

"No," Xia Xi laughed, with a bit of longing in his eyes: "It's a new life."
