Chapter 9： key

After two days and one night, I finally arrived at the Lucheng base.

Along the way, we can see many people who came to Lucheng base with big bags and small bags.

Perhaps it was because they were afraid that the sudden black rain would appear again, many people covered their heads with clothes or pots, with their heads drooping and a deadly face, dragging heavy steps.

Most people's faces are generally pale and vegetable-colored, they are undernourished when they look, and their eyes are dim.

Except for an inexperienced child who was clawing and clawing against the lid of the pot, he looked lively and funny, and the tired parents with thin cheeks on the side ignored the naughty child, burying their heads and numbly turning towards Lu. The city base is walking.

Pei Zhaozhou comes from a powerful and rich interstellar country. Its territory includes several large galaxies. The number of registered planets exceeds 10,000. Many uninhabitable wild stars are not included. Even Pei Zhaozhou himself has several resource stars.

Regardless of whether the planet is rich or not, at least the people of the empire are fed and clothed, and their mental outlook is positive and enterprising. Unlike the people on this small planet, the mourning that can be seen with the naked eye is like the invisible despair under the cover of darkness. Flowing between.

Pei Zhaozhou felt an inexplicable weirdness in his heart, and then glanced at Si Huaixi, who was staring at the pedestrians with a solemn face.

The ordinary people on this planet look so weak, but there are always some people who are so strong that he feels incredible. It's a strange world. It seems that fragile and powerful coexist, and at the same time precarious.

Standing in front of the towering city wall, the 28-meter-high thick wall is surrounded by a layer of sharp metal blades. Each blade protrudes more than ten or twenty centimeters in length. The sharpness makes one's heart frightening at first glance.

This is jointly created by the earth-type abilities and the gold-type abilities to defend against zombies.

The dense knives on the city wall looked terrifying, leaving only a small door for people to enter and exit.

People from outside crowded to the small gate.

Pei Zhaozhou looked at it from a distance. It seemed to outsiders that the wall was very defensive. In his eyes as an empire major general who had commanded countless offensive and defensive battles, he had already seen many flaws in an instant, and thought of a dozen ways to improve the defense of this base. Plan.

The Zhibrain Yinhu around him also analyzed and said.

[Master, this world is really backward. The prehistoric artifacts displayed to the Imperial Museum seem to be at least three hundred years behind the empire in terms of technology. The master wants to make a spaceship and give it to Mr. Si to leave this backward planet. It may not be so easy. The level of industry is far less than in the empire, I don’t know whether to strike iron like primitive people? 】

Pei Zhaozhou denies: Guns can be made here, there is an industrial foundation, and the rest can be upgraded by me. The only concern... Silver Arc, how is my body monitoring condition today?

Yin Huo replied with some excitement: [Master, since your last susceptibility period was advanced, Yin Huo was terrified and worried, but afterwards, your physical condition slightly improved... and there was also a small pheromone in the body. The increase in amplitude caused Yinhuo to think that the host's susceptibility period was advanced again, and almost planned to wake you up, but it seemed that it had not reached that critical value. 】

Pei Zhaozhou frowned suspiciously: When did I almost have another susceptibility period?

Silver Arc: [Just last night, the master slept too hard, and the alpha pheromone overflowed without knowing it, but Mr. Si took good care of you all night. 】

Pei Zhaozhou's eyes became even more confused, thinking of the weird dream that he had last night, and dreaming of the embarrassing side of Si Huaixi hitting his susceptible period, shouldn't it be true!

—Maomao is suddenly panicked!

Pei Zhaozhou subconsciously suppressed the panic in his heart, and continued to calm down and asked silver arc important things: How long can my body last?

Originally, he was running out of time, and seeing the backward technology of this apocalyptic base made him even more anxious and anxious.

As the highest-level intellectual brain in the interstellar empire, it is the top batch in terms of operating speed and storage and computing functions, but the intellectual brain silver arc unexpectedly paused for a while, and finally analyzed a hypothesis.

[Master, haven't you found it? Since the last time you broke out of the susceptibility period in front of Mr. Si, you have not only failed to die as the doctor said, the pheromone riot, your body function collapsed, but you have slightly improved. You must know that you are in the technologically advanced interstellar empire. The situation has been deteriorating and has never improved! 】

[Initially, Silver Arc was not sure, but since your host's susceptibility period almost broke out last night, Silver Arc has been paying attention to your physical value and found a slight improvement! 】

Pei Zhaozhou's heart was beating, and the blood that had been silent for a long time began to flow again.

"Silver arc, what do you mean?"

Yinhu said excitedly: [Yes! Master, when you came to this world, you must be so kind to the master and give you a glimmer of life. Silver Arc suspects that there is a wonderful magnetic field or substance in this world, which can cure the master's terminal illness of your pheromone disorder! 】

[Master, as long as you find out what that substance is, you may not die! 】

—He might not die?

-After being tortured by ruthless fate so many times, he almost gave up his life in despair, and suddenly gave him a glimmer of hope.

Pei Zhaozhou thought that he would be happy to hear the words of Zhibrain Silver Arc, but there was a trace of anxiety, fear and confusion in his heart.

People who are accustomed to fate are suddenly favored by fate.

It was like a villain turned into a protagonist, which made him a little surprised to believe it.

Pei Zhaozhou didn't have the humane excitement like Zhi Brain Yin Arc, but calmed down and said: Then I can live longer.

It was just that when I saw Si Huaixi beside him, walking with his long legs and unhurriedly side by side, as if to accommodate him, a patient who had just developed a fever not long after.

When Pei Zhaozhou wanted things to stop suddenly, Si Huaixi didn't worry, and stopped, looking at him with deep blue eyes with concern and care.

The moment Pei Zhaozhou raised his head, he met those clear sea-blue eyes, the concern in his eyes warmed his heart, and the corners of his mouth slightly twitched.

Repeated in my heart: then a little longer.

Pei Zhaozhou suddenly remembered something, and he hesitated for a while or asked Si Huaixi: "Did I do something strange last night?"

Si Huaixi's pupils stagnated for an instant, and almost thought that what happened last night had been exposed, and the roots of his ears were flushed.

But think about it again that he did not do bad things last night, it was Pei Zhaozhou who took the initiative first, but he kindly saw that Pei Zhaozhou was pitifully cold at night, and took the initiative to hold him in his arms...in his arms...

Si Huaixi suddenly became so stiff that he couldn't move his hands anymore. He walked a few steps with the same hands and feet, but he was not found by Pei Zhaozhou. He turned his head and pretended to be cold and said: "No, why did you suddenly ask like this? "

Little did she know that the more nervous Si Huaixi was, the more solemn and majestic her handsome face was, and it was awe-inspiring to look at righteousness.

Pei Zhaozhou suddenly doubted what Zhibrain Silver Arc had just said. He was really almost susceptible last night. Did Si Huaixi still take care of him?

Pei Zhaozhou shook his head, changed the subject and returned to the Lucheng base. Now this is where he should be concerned, and said, "Nothing, this is your Lucheng base."

Following Pei Zhaozhou's sight, Si Huaixi looked again at this place where he was born and grew up, and experienced countless days and nights that were destroyed and rebuilt, and his eyes flashed with deep and complicated meaning.

"Well, it's here."

Pei Zhaozhou asked: "It's quite popular here. I think many people come from outside at the risk of being attacked by zombies. What is special about this base?"

There was a small gate outside the walls of the Lucheng base, and there was a long line of people who rushed over.

Because the number of places that the Lucheng base enters every day is limited, except for those with supernatural powers and ordinary people who have tasks to go out, they are generally not allowed to enter or leave the base casually.

In order to get into this base quickly, some people have lined up here for several days, and they are not afraid that zombies will come.

The front of the team made noises from time to time, and there were several adult brawny men who wanted to jump into the line and enter the base as soon as possible. After a fight, forcing them to line up again, it's probably going to be chaotic.

Si Huaixi's eyes sank: "What's special? It can make people alive."

The Lucheng base has a population of more than 300,000. The total of all the powers is not enough to make up 10,000. It is a small and medium-sized base, but this base has a strict management system. If you find that the powers kill ordinary people for no reason, you can still Report to the supervision team, if the ability person does something too bad, he will be punished.

Before the end of the world, such a fair and just system was taken for granted by everyone.

But after the end of the world, zombies have completely subverted the status of mankind.

The previous thermal weapons had an effect on zombies at first, but as zombies evolve, bullets can't penetrate the zombie's stiff skin, and ordinary people's strength can't match the zombies, and they are completely reduced to lambs to be slaughtered.

If it weren't for a very small number of ordinary people to evolve into supernatural beings, and relying on supernatural beings to resist the attacks of zombies, otherwise humans would be completely extinct.

Therefore, after the end of the world, the supernaturalists have a lofty status and even have privileges, all of which rely on them to fight to the death with the zombies.

In the 28 years since the beginning of the end of the world, ordinary people have become accustomed to the status of supernatural beings above them. The bases blessed by some supernatural powers are even more demanding for ordinary people to join. If they join, they will become lifelong slaves of the base and lose their lives. Freedom, even if the base asks them to die, they cannot be refused as a bait to attract zombies.

Since the Lucheng base has changed several leaders, the system has become more tolerant.

At least ordinary people can be allowed to join freely, they will not be taken to death at will, and they have life security. When they are a full member of the Lucheng base, they will also provide a certain share of food every day.

Even if ordinary people and ability players want to leave this base someday, they only need to pay a small amount of spar to make up for the supply of materials from the base. They will not be forced to bind the ability players to one. In the base.

This is a good thing for ordinary people, and it is also a rare good thing for people with supernatural powers.

As a supernatural person, it seems to be better than ordinary people. On weekdays, supernatural persons can enjoy the service of ordinary people at the base. They don't need to engage in tedious work, but they face a lot of difficulties and dangers.

As soon as the base encounters a zombie attack, the ability person must bear the brunt to defend against the zombies on the front line, and the ability person is not unprobably infected with the zombie virus, if they encounter a higher-level zombies, the risk of infection is very high.

Even if you kill the zombies hard and get the spar in the zombie's brain, the ability person can use it to absorb the energy upgrade ability in the spar, and you can't take it lightly. It's not a case of failure without advancement.

One of the most tragic cases is the tragedy of Nanqing Base in the 23rd year of the end of the world. Since the 21st year of the end, there have been abilities that have broken through the 9th step, from high-level abilities to fire abilities, humans The overall strength has greatly increased.

At that time, the Nanqing base was managed by Shi Jinglue, a level 9 ability powerhouse of the gold system, and many high-level ability powerhouses followed him. Among them, the deputy was also a level 9 ability powerhouse. The base population ability Together with nearly one million ordinary people, it can be called China's top ten famous and powerful large-scale bases.

However, in an accidental encirclement and suppression of zombies, Shi Jinglue finally obtained a long-awaited metallic Tier 9 zombie spar.

At that time, people in China and even all over the world broke through to Tier 10. Shi Jinglue, who had been stagnating at Tier 9 for several years, was of course unwilling. He wanted to break through to Tier 10. For this reason, he took the initiative to summon the subordinates of superpowers to encircle and suppress high levels. Of zombies to obtain suitable metallic spar.

A suitable zombie spar is not easy to find. Shi Jing found this 9th-order metallic spar after a few tortures. He thought it was a good thing, but he didn't expect an accident.

Shi Jinglue broke through to rank 10, but he became a rank 10 zombie.

During the breakthrough process, Shi Jinglue turned into a zombie, lost his humanity, and blood-washed the base of millions of people. The supernaturalists couldn't stop Shi Jinglue, who had doubled his strength from level 10, but was killed by him. Dig out the brain and eat the spar inside.

Only a few thousand people escaped from the last base with a population of one million.

This is the Nanqing base tragedy, which caused inestimable casualties in Chinese history. The culprit, Shi Jinglue, after becoming a zombie, still occupied the Nanqing base, where hundreds of thousands of zombies wandered around the base day and night. , No one dared to approach, became a taboo place.

Since then, the Huacheng base, the capital base of China, has gathered the head of China, the most powerful abilities, countless top scientists, and the military strength of science and technology, and announced an irresistible law.

[Once a high-level ability player breaks through to Tier 9, he must go to the Huacheng base and accept the guidance of a strong base fire ability. 】

Si Huaixi suddenly frowned and stared sharply in one direction. He took out a key from his pocket, stuffed it into Pei Zhaozhou's hand quickly and swiftly, and said, "Here is the key. You can enter the residence of my base. Wait. After the one-day observation period, come to me."

Pei Zhaozhou was inexplicably stuffed with a key, but he still didn't respond, and muttered, "Why give me your key?"

Si Huaixi's figure leaped up and stood on the 28-meter city wall dazzlingly, leaving only the words that were blown by the wind.

"I'm leaving, take the key."

Pei Zhaozhou was frightened by the amazing jumping ability, and his amber golden eyes were dumbfounded for a while, watching Si Huaixi's back disappear into the sky above the city wall.

After knowing it.

There was a sudden panic from the crowd.

But the sound does not seem to come from outside the city wall, but from inside the city wall...

That is inside the base.

The members responsible for monitoring the entrance of the base seemed to have received some news. In order to appease the restless people, they said: "The base has sneaked into a zombie snake, and it has been killed by the strong power of the base, please rest assured!"

The people have calmed down one after another, and they are still happily discussing that the ability powerhouse of Lucheng base can solve the zombie beast so quickly, and the strength must be very strong.

The original lifeless face showed the brilliance of joy and vitality. The more powerful people in the base, the more guaranteed their safety.

But Pei Zhaozhou keenly smelled the **** smell of the air, his eyes sank, and he clenched the key in his hand.
