Chapter 64: The Encounter
In the past six months, she has traveled to many places, most of which is a laboratory-like existence.
Moreover, many labs that are insane are built under the hospital, which makes Xiao Xiao feel a little chilly, and some scenes really make Xiao Xiao feel a lot of bad feelings towards humans.
In addition to those monsters transformed by strange elements, Xiao Xiao also encountered corpse kings like the last time he fought against kobolds. Most of these corpse kings were wandering around the hospital, so one can imagine what the labs are doing illegal research.
After being prompted many times by the system, Xiao Xiao realized that not all the alienated zombies were created by strange elements, and many of them had been transformed into this appearance before the end of the world.
Thanks to the experiments that have disgusted her time again, wherever she has dealt with, she will use torches to burn everything that remains.
Xiao Xiao can't change the past, all she can do is to make them disappear, hoping to let them go with the wind.
Even after seeing these sinful places, Xiao Xiao understands more and more what the system said at the beginning, if there is no such apocalypse, human beings will destroy themselves.
Desires are endless. People who have no money want to be rich, and when they have money, they want to buy good things. After buying good things, they want to live in a good house, and in the end they even want to live forever.
Just like the emperors of all dynasties, they fought for power and the throne when they were young. After growing up and inheriting the throne, they began to pray to gods and worship Buddha, and worked hard to make alchemy.
In this regard, the system said that for humans, immortality is impossible!
'Whether it is the emperors of all dynasties in human history, or these bizarre experiments in the laboratory, as carbon-based organisms, oxidation is an irreversible and unstoppable process. With oxygen, man can live, but with oxygen, man can grow, from infancy to adulthood, to old age, and finally to death. '
'Without oxygen, people can't live, but with oxygen, people can die. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. '
'Unless you can give up the body and continue to exist, just like the spiritual civilization, you can break away from time. However, you must know that this kind of separation from time is not perfect! There are many people, things, and things that are only fermented by time to reveal their beauty. '
'When human beings leave the time period, there will be nothing but nothingness. Maybe your spirit is still alive at the beginning, but gradually you will find that everything is meaningless, because time will take everything away, and when you get out of time, it means that it has nothing to do with you. In the end, you will also disappear. When your thinking stops, it is like death, leaving only a blank spiritual body floating there. ' The system continued to explain:
'Our main civilization, that is, the spiritual civilization, once helped another carbon-based creature to make this immortality attempt, but unfortunately they couldn't stand this kind of loneliness after they had the concept of time, and they all disappeared one by one, leaving only a bunch of blank spiritual bodies can prove that they once existed, but this can also be regarded as another kind of immortality. '
In this regard, Xiao Xiao at that time could only frown, not knowing what to say. She could only deal with these sad monsters one by one and give them a relief.
Memories are over.
After two days of Xiao Xiao's journey back while absorbing the magic core, there was finally a result.
'Okay, the space can be used normally, you will take out the spear and see if you are not satisfied. '
The system suddenly prompted a sentence, and then noticed the magic core in Xiao Xiao's hand.
'Congratulations! You have already absorbed the magic core, and the function of simulating the five senses has been activated. In the future, you can maintain your five senses by absorbing three third-order or one fourth-order crystal core every day! '
Xiao Xiao originally thought that since she woke up early this morning, she seemed to be a little weird. After hearing what the system said, she realized that it turned out that the magic core had been absorbed!
Xiao Xiao raised her hand, looked at the magic core that had changed from blue to transparent and colorless, and asked the system.
'Then, is there any other public use for this magic core? '
'Yes, because this magic core has reached the seventh level, it is not like other crystal cores and magic cores will shatter after use, so you will slowly absorb energy as long as you leave it, but the speed is very slow. ' The system explained:
'Or, you can make it a space, it should be the size of a truck, but if you make a space, in ten years, it will shatter. '
'Then make a space!' Hearing the good news, Xiao Xiao smiled slightly, sucked in the air forcefully, and then suddenly choked twice.
"Cough cough!"
She forgot, she had already walked into the ruins to investigate, the air inside was not very good, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was pungent. Her newly recovered respiratory system was immediately destroyed by her once.
'It is good.' The system helped Xiao Xiao put the magic core into the space and reminded her again.
'This time it will take about three days. Also, the meteorite fragment cannot be opened, and its outer shell is not damaged. After analysis, it should be rooted in the culprit of the end of the world. The culprit is only a homologous relationship, and the two are not the same death. Stone, just the same material. However, it can be absorbed slowly with a spear, so let's do it for now! '
Systematic research for several days, and finally only came to this specious conclusion, it is helpless, but at least the spear can slowly absorb the strange elements inside, as long as the time is long enough, it can also open the dimensional crack, Yu It's barely good news.
Xiao Xiao frowned, looked around, found a small room and walked in, took out his clothes from the space and changed a set, and finally pulled out a spear.
The system reminded her to take the spear, which made Xiao Xiao feel very strange.
But as soon as the spear was taken out this time, Xiao Xiao knew why the system kept reminding her to take out the spear.
"What?"
In the past, the whole body of the spear was black and the weight was quite heavy. Every time Xiao Xiao took a lot of effort to lift it, but now it is completely different.
The spear in Xiao Xiao's hand, no, it can't be called a spear anymore, maybe it should be called a stick, because the sharpness of the front end of the spear no longer exists, and the weight is almost so light that Xiao Xiao can't feel it, thhe color was also changed to brown.
Xiao Xiao touched it curiously, but still touched a sharp point at the top.
'This is……? '
'If you try to bring the spear with you in the future, you can let the spear accelerate the extraction of the strange elements in the meteorite fragments.' The system is responsible for explaining to Xiao Xiao what changes it has made this time.
At the same time, Xiao Xiao has another rope in front of her.
'This is a rope made of Jiao's tendons. For your convenience, the weight of the spear has been given to the space through the strange element to support it. In the future, you will be tied behind your back to act! '
'This way...'
Xiao Xiao thought about it for a while, and it didn't seem to be a big problem, but it was just a stick tied behind her back, and it wouldn't look very abrupt.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Xiao followed the system's advice and tied the stick to her back, and after tying the spear that looked like a stick, Xiao Xiao suddenly felt that her mental power seemed to be more abundant.
'This is not your illusion, you can think of the spear as a medium, and as long as the spear doesn't leave your body, you can keep extracting energy from the meteorite fragment, which means that you use it now. Spiritual power can be replenished at any time. '
'That's great!' Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, that is to say, as long as she has a spear from now on, she no longer has to be afraid of exhausting her mental strength?
'But why did the spear change like this?' Xiao Xiao is quite curious, should she have enough mental power? At least in these days, it has gradually become instinct for her to kill those low-level zombies. As long as she walks, there must be corpses everywhere, and her mental power has never felt empty.
'In the past six months, your intermediate mental training has been completed, and the next step is advanced training. This kind of training requires a lot of mental power, mainly because you are afraid that you will be exhausted. In addition, the strange elements in the meteorite fragments are also It can only be parsed through the spear, so you can make the best use of it. '
Sure enough! She said! How could the system be so cheap for her! It was waiting here.
The mid-level mental power training also made her feel a little bit desperate. Anyway, the system just wants to kill her!
But this was all to strengthen himself, so Xiao Xiao didn't complain any more. After tying the spear, she left the ruins that had been destroyed so much that they couldn't be seen.
After Xiao Xiao got dressed, she finally dared to start speeding up. Her current mood can be described as returning to her heart like an arrow.
The six months of running around made her miss those ordinary days, eating and drinking well every day, and she didn't have to worry about these monsters at all. Unfortunately, everything can't go back, and it's all to blame for this damn apocalypse!
Now Xiao Xiao's position has probably returned to the position near Q City in Province C. Although Xiao Xiao has been away from the last lake where the flood dragon exists for so long, there is still a considerable distance from the base closest to the defense line.
In the past six months, Xiao Xiao has cut off her long hair for convenience, leaving only a neat short hair.
Who made those monsters disgusting one by one, especially later, almost all monsters' saliva was added with corrosive ability, and they also liked to spit. Mind you, cut your hair short.
Moreover, Xiao Xiao has a bad habit, because her skin defense is very high, so she often uses her hands to resist attacks.
In order to prevent those disgusting things from dripping on her, she would tie some cloth strips directly on her hands, and by the way, she could also bring some iron pieces in the walking strips as another way of attacking.
Therefore, when a power team met Xiao Xiao, what they saw was a woman dressed in a slightly strange way.
In their eyes, Xiao Xiao looks like this: she has neat short black hair, her clothes don't look dirty, her hands exposed are bandaged, and a weapon of the same height is tied behind her back. Xiao Xiao is dressed with short hair, but she looks pretty, not to the point of being indistinguishable between male and female.
And Xiao Xiao was quite surprised to meet the human. Because after destroying the dragon, she had already contracted her mental power to a certain extent, because the so-called high-intensity training of the system was not like the previous middle and low-level trainers.
In the previous training, the system asked her to find a place to stop, and then asked her to put her mental power into the space to carry out a series of training, from the beginning of bee hunting and catching bullets, to the later use of mental power to tailor , weaving and other strange requirements, at that time she thought these patterns were the limit.
This time the advanced training was different. This advanced training turned out to be a kind of continuous exertion on her mental power tentacles!
That is to say, her current mental power is similar to that of some people who practiced light exercises in ancient times. She usually has to be tied with heavy objects to train. In this case, the mental power she can use is very limited, so she made a super large one like before. The scope of the field is unlikely anymore.
Looking back now, Xiao Xiao thinks that she was so naive before, how could the lower limit of the system be so easily touched by her?
Anyway, after getting used to the wide-ranging perception and the vision of God that is close to omnipotence, Xiao Xiao is quite uncomfortable when she returns to seeing only with the naked eye.
She also complained to the system about this, but the system convinced her with a set of arguments.
'You are going back to the defense line now. If there is no accident, you will live with humans. Are you planning to peep at them all the time? Whether they were taking a bath, eating, sleeping, or even...' The system didn't say anything, but Xiao Xiao already understood the system's concerns, so in desperation, she had to agree to this self-defeating martial arts training.
Anyway, in general, her mental power is still growing, but it's just not available for the time being, so just use it as a deposit!
Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao shook her head slightly and pulled herself back from the trance, because the opposite team had already discovered her!
"...Ma'am! Do you need help?" A man with a strange hat spoke first.
Xiao Xiao took a closer look after they walked in, and found that the group of people were wearing standard clothes, helmets that were similar to hard hats, and they were all carrying a rifle behind them, and they were holding Knife-shaped weapon in their hands.
"Ma'am, we are members of the eighth team and sixth team of the Tianlong Guard. Are you alone? Are there any partners who are trapped and need our help?"
Seeing that Xiao Xiao didn't respond, the man who came forward again asked. He asked once, and it seemed that he felt that Xiao Xiao was a little different.
"It's okay!" In order to avoid misunderstanding, Xiao Xiao first interrupted her divergent thoughts and regained her senses. She looked at the man in front of him doubtfully, and asked hoarsely, "Tianlong Guard?"
Xiao Xiao's voice was a little hoarse because it's been a long time since she spoke, and she usually use mental power to communicate with the system.
"Cough cough!" At this moment, after realizing that her voice was weird, Xiao Xiao first coughed twice, letting the saliva moisten her vocal cords to prevent her voice from being too strange.
