After an unknown amount of time, Lin Bing woke up from her deep sleep. At this moment, her first feeling was hunger, very hunger, as if she had not eaten for several days.
No, she had not eaten for many days.
The first thing Lin Bing did when she opened her eyes was to look for the old blue-covered book that could 'talk'. She could swear that it was the 'strange book' that she heard talking before she fainted. But Lin Bing searched back and forth, inside and outside, but could not find the strange book.
In this way, another half an hour passed.
Lin Bing felt really hungry. Thinking of her empty stomach, she was too lazy to care about the broken book. The old blue-covered book must be hidden somewhere, it must be in the space. If 'it' did not want to come out to see her, she would definitely not be able to find it no matter how hard she tried.
Thinking of this, Lin Bing touched her already sunken stomach and felt that she had lost weight again. Sighing, she went directly to the underground warehouse, took out the hot food she had collected, and started eating. After a while of wolfing down, she was finally full. After eating, she slowly realized that she hadn't taken a shower or changed clothes for several days. Her clothes had always been the ones she wore on rainy days.
Lin Bing pinched a corner of her clothes and sniffed them with her nose. They were all sweaty.
Lin Bing found a set of thick mountaineering clothes and hiking shoes from the warehouse, and also found a large basin. She had to use this to fill the stream with water. Unfortunately, she didn't buy a large bucket for bathing, only some small buckets. Alas, she hadn't prepared everything in the first place. If conditions allowed, she would add everything she needed.
She didn't want to take a bath in the stream, she was afraid of dirtying the water. However, she had been soaking in the stream for a few days, so she was a little worried. Wouldn't the water be dirty because she was soaking in it? The water was flowing, so it should be fine. But she had a fever that day because she was caught in the rain, and the rain contained unknown chemicals. When she returned to the space, she was sweating all over and soaked in the stream. She didn't know if the stream water was polluted or if it was still drinkable, but she could definitely take a bath.
Lin Bing brought the water to the yard to take a shower, and she was still worried about closing the door of the South Courtyard. Although she knew there was no one here, taking a bath in the open air always made her feel... uneasy.
That little broken book wouldn't be peeping at her somewhere...
Lin Bing imagined it.
After taking a bath, Lin Bing put on her clothes and wrapped her whole body in clothes, which made her feel safe.
After eating and drinking, Lin Bing was free and wandered around the space like a mountain king. There was no trace of the little broken book with a blue cover. It was hidden very well.
She remembered that before she fell into a coma, many words seemed to be forced into her mind.
Thinking carefully, three vigorous and powerful big words emerged in her mind: Xuanbing Jue. Just as he was thinking, the three words "Xuan Bing Jue" disappeared. After disappearing, another line of words appeared in his mind, "Level 1 Ice Art, Ice Armor Art, Defensive Type". Effect: Evenly cover the user's cortex with ice to form a shield to protect the body (the strength of the Ice Armor Art depends on the strength of the caster's ice ability, which can be upgraded).
Level 1 Ice Art, Ice Spikes, Offensive Type. Effect: Condensing ice into spikes, up to five ice spikes can be condensed at level 1, which can be taken or airdropped, causing significant damage to the enemy (Note: Blood can be coagulated into ice, and ice spikes can break the body and cause damage directly from the body. Ice can only be used above level 5).
There are more words below, but Lin Bing can't see them clearly. As long as she stares at those unclear words, her head starts to hurt. I guess the rest are not what she can see now.
However, just these two level 1 ice systems have already surprised Lin Bing, but how should she learn them? Just as she was thinking, a hint flashed through her mind: Cover the black font with ice power until the black font condenses into ice, and you can also learn it.
Lin Bing mobilized all her ice power and slowly covered the font in her mind, slowly, slowly, until all the words on the ice armor and ice spikes turned into ice. She had a strange feeling in her mind, she had learned it!
But at this moment, she was suddenly thrown out of the space.
When she was thrown out, she heard that damn tender child's voice: The space is upgrading...
Lin Bing fell to the place where she left before. She appeared standing, but at this moment she was exhausted, and the momentum of being thrown out made her a little unstable. Fortunately, after staggering for a few steps, she finally stood and did not fall to the ground.
Zombies!
The first thing she saw when she came out was the zombies crawling on the ground not far away.
The recollection ended.
…
When she saw the zombies, Lin Bing cursed the damn voice more than once in her heart. It threw her out without any weapon!
She is the master of the space, okay? That damn voice, that damn book, why did it mess around!
Although Lin Bing's mind was constantly moving, she walked carefully on the road, trying not to make any sound, and her spirit was tense to the extreme. Along the way, Lin Bing's face became heavier and heavier. She didn't even see half a person. Occasionally, she passed by a small shop and saw only a dark and stiff figure. Lin Bing's heart was cold little by little.
Has the end of the world been a long time since it came? Have all the people evacuated?
It feels bad to be the only living person in the empty streets.
H City will sooner or later become the territory of zombies. She can't stay here for long. She wants to go to a safe zone, whether it is Chaoyang Base or other bases. It's better than staying here. She remembered that a level 5 zombie appeared in H City later. It was too dangerous here. Even if she retreated into the space, she was always a little scared when she came to the entrance and exit of H City.
Lin Bing originally wanted to return to the space first, but when she thought of the words "space is being upgraded...", she felt that it would not be so fast and she probably couldn't get in. She thought about it carefully, and the image of an iron rod appeared in her mind. The underground warehouse had prepared this. She had tried it before. When she thought about the things in the underground warehouse, they would appear in her hands.
Iron rod...
But this time, Lin Bing thought about it for a long time in her mind, and carefully sketched out the clear picture of the iron rod, but her hands were still empty. When she was angry, she heard the clear voice in her mind again, prompting: [The space is being upgraded, and the items in the space cannot be summoned. ]
That means she can't take out weapons, no, not only weapons, but also some necessary items for food and life!
Lin Bing's heart sank, and it took a long time for her to recover. She communicated with the voice in her mind: [When can the upgrade be successful? When can I go in?]
[Unknown. The space is upgrading... insufficient energy, the upgrade failed... continue to upgrade... the upgrade failed...]
[Energy, can I use my ability? Now, immediately, upgrade for me immediately!] Lin Bing gritted her teeth. This space is really a pit. If it weren't for the space, she wouldn't be so relieved, and she wouldn't be without things in her hands!
[The host's energy was extracted ten minutes ago. The host's energy can be restored after four hours. Now the host can use 0 ice abilities.] After that, the voice in the space didn't respond anymore. Maybe communication is also consuming energy.
Lin Bing's face turned pale when she heard this. She was a fool. She thought she had ice abilities now and could still use them. She thought she could get weapons and food in the space. She was very calm when she was thrown out, and she didn't panic at all. She is a pig, how could she believe in that damn space, which not only drained all her powers, but also forbade her to enter or take things! This is a rip-off!
She walked calmly on the street because she felt that she had something to rely on, and the worst that could happen was hiding in the space. Thinking about it now, Lin Bing felt her scalp tingling. If a zombie had bit her just now, she would have died while she was still trying to figure out why she couldn't get the iron rod out and why she couldn't get into the space! (She intuitively put herself in the shoes of a zombie three years after the apocalypse.)
Lin Bing touched her face, which was covered in cold sweat. She was scared when she thought about it now.
No, she couldn't walk on the street like this. She still had four hours for her powers to recover. She didn't know if that rip-off space would drain all her powers when her powers recovered (it was very likely). She had to find a handy weapon. If there was no iron rod, a wooden stick would do. It had to be longer. She didn't want to have too 'intimate' contact with zombies.
Lin Bing remembered that within a month, H City was relatively safe. It can be said that all zombies in the first month of the apocalypse were first-level zombies, and people with some fists and feet could deal with them. She must know what day it is now, how many days the apocalypse has been here, and when her space can be upgraded. If it is just her ability... I am afraid it is not enough.
Zombies have crystal cores in their heads, of course, not every zombie has them.
Lin Bing's eyes slowly moved to the zombies.
Crystal cores are also energy. Even if the first-level crystal cores have little energy, there are many zombies.
It would be nice to have a knife, and it would be even better to have a long knife, so that the zombie's head can be chopped faster. As for the disgusting appearance of zombies, such as hideous faces, foul odors, blood stains... and so on, Lin Bing has long been accustomed to it. It has not been a month since she was reborn. Before that, she dealt with this thing every day.
Walking quietly on the street, she found a wooden stick about the same length as hers, and a fruit knife, which was only about 20 centimeters. Lin Bing sharpened both ends of the wooden stick with the fruit knife, and then threw the fruit knife in a place where it was easy to get. Without a scabbard, the knife would cut the flesh if it was attached to the body.
*
On the same street, on the second floor, the doors and windows of the room were all closed, and the thick curtains were all drawn, and the room was dark. I saw a small corner of the curtain was lifted, and an eye looked at the street from behind the curtain.
Not far away, a slim woman in long clothes and long sleeves was holding a processed wooden stick and killing those undead and man-eating monsters. Her target was always the monster's head, and she would hit it off at the beginning, but as time went on, she became more and more prepared, and her stick always stabbed the monster's temple. When the monster was stabbed, the rotten flesh turned outward, and red and black blood flowed out. After that, the monster fell to the ground, and I didn't know if it was dead or what.
Then the woman took a big stone from somewhere and smashed it hard on the monster's head. After breaking it, she poked the monster's head with a water knife from time to time, looking for something.
There seemed to be something in the monster's head. Every time she found one, she would pick it up with chopsticks and put it in a plastic bag. These things were probably secretly taken from the grocery store next door.
It turned out that the heads of those monsters were weak points, and these monsters would only turn black blood when they were hit on the head. In other words, the heads of these monsters transformed from dead people were the most evolved places.
Luo Tong pushed the plain glasses on his nose and fell into deep thought.
