"Thank you... Let's start the assessment. We are all ready. We made an appointment before and we must all pass the assessment. By the way...if our people fail the assessment, can they enter as family members?"

"Okay, don't worry about that."

"That's good, thank you! I am the first one to participate in the assessment, please give me your advice."

Guan Yue conducted a little test on the basic combat abilities of this group of people, and finally came to the conclusion that their combat effectiveness is really good. When testing the strength of their abilities, although these people's levels are relatively low, their abilities are very pure. Thick, as expected, he cultivated all the way by himself, and did not absorb the energy of those mixed crystal nuclei.

The final assessment was the only five ordinary people. It is said that they all have a certain skill. Guan Yue asked a little and then stayed, "I don't know much about the professional knowledge you five have learned, but it is gold. It will shine, and I will arrange for you to work in this area in the base, I hope you are not swollen and fat."

"You can rest assured about this, we all have real materials."

Guan Yue nodded, "Arrange them to live there. There were not a lot of people missing in Building A before. Arrange them to live there."

Liu Ying quickly took them to the bottom of the city wall, and walked slowly inside. While walking, she also talked about some matters that need attention in the base, such as not being allowed in the inner city, and those at the back of the outer city There are many perverted mutant plants planted in an area, so you can't break into it casually.

There is also a group of very special and powerful children living in a corner, they can't go to provoke them casually, in fact, they are those chickens, powerful and big chickens, Guan Yue also specifically ordered them not to go there if there is nothing to do.

"First of all, I have to explain that in the base, you must never do anything that affects the order of the base. You can't fight and kill people in the base. If you want to compete, you can go to the training ground. Those vegetables planted in the vegetable field can't be casual. Picking, if there is any harvest, it will be displayed at the material exchange office for you to exchange."

"As long as you hold the crystal core in your hands, you can exchange the crystal core for anything that is available at the material exchange office, and what's more... if you want to leave the base to develop in another base, we will not stop you, but ..."

Liu Ying paused for a while before continuing, "Ming people don't talk dark words. If you know some secret things about the base, if you want to leave, you still need to weigh it. After all, the people in our base are not outsiders. That's easy to talk about, as for the leader... you also saw it just now, you are the first batch of people who came here after winter, so the leader personally took charge of your assessment."

"What?! That person just now is the leader of Ability Base!"

Liu Ying nodded, "Yes, you have also seen that our leader has a very good attitude towards his own people, but if you want to become outsiders or do something that is not good for the base, then the leader's attitude will become very bad .”

"We all know this. If this base is suitable for our life, we will definitely stay. In fact... I don't want to leave when I see that large vegetable field."

They thought carefully how long had it been since they had eaten fresh vegetables? And it is still fresh and safe vegetables, half a year, right? There are many plants outside that grow very well, but they are all inedible.

It's either poisonous or weeds, or it's a mutated plant that can eat people. It's really rare to see normal vegetables like this. People eat it.

But it can be exchanged here with a crystal nucleus?

"But aren't those turbid crystal nuclei that can't be used for cultivation?"

Liu Ying nodded again, "So the people in our base don't need these crystal cores, they all use them in exchange for the supplies they need, but our base doesn't need them, which doesn't mean other bases don't need them. After the fame spread, the J City base, W City base, and N City base all sent people here, wanting to trade with us."

"What is the deal? Those turbid crystal nuclei?"

"Yes, so... I think this should be easy for you to understand. We are not the Holy Mother, and the pure crystal nucleus has appeared for a while. Everyone must know that such a crystal nucleus is more suitable for cultivation. , but... the probability of such crystal nuclei appearing is really very small, so most supernatural beings still need these turbid crystal nuclei."

"It's easy to get, the speed of recovering abilities during battle is still very fast, and it won't be very distressing if you consume too much, and the number of pure crystal nuclei is small, and the value of purchasing at each base is very high, unless it is the kind of There is no shortage of powerful families with crystal nuclei at all, otherwise few people can use such pure crystal nuclei as things for cultivation and recovery of abilities."

"However, such a situation does not exist in our base, because... Forget it, I can't explain these things clearly now. After you see how we hunt crystal nuclei, you will understand what I said today."

"This is where you live now. Take a good rest first. Our base will give you free supplies for the past few days. The leader has given you five free days. I hope you can adjust your state in these five days." ,

"Okay, thank you."

Liu Ying left after arranging them, and then Cheng Mi and Cheng Cheng came to deliver supplies and some daily necessities, "These are the most basic, we have sent them to you, if you want better , just go to the material exchange office to exchange crystal cores by yourself, I hope you all don’t be lazy, and brother Liu told us before, you have five ordinary people here, first register with me what you are good at, I will arrange work for you in a few days."

Cheng Cheng and Cheng Mi finished their work and left. The thirty-three people present breathed a sigh of relief, "The environment of this base is really good. The flood outside is so turbulent, but the inside is still peaceful."

They even saw two old people running and exercising together. They should be the family members brought in by the supernatural beings. Looking around the green, occasionally seeing someone is very kind.

"I like the atmosphere of this base, I decided to stay and never leave!"

"Me too!"

"Okay, I am the same, let's clean up the room first, what do these things look like here, and since you have decided to stay, then you should abide by the rules here, take a good rest these five days, and talk to the people around you Build a good relationship with the neighbors, inquire about the specific situation of this base, and promise not to make mistakes in the future.”

"Okay! Let's go, clean up the room! I can finally sleep well."

Guan Yue asked Hong Bao to monitor this group of people around, and if there was anything unusual, tell him immediately, in fact, the monitoring of people from other bases is short for half a year and a year, and some people's latent ability is really very good. Qiang, who has been deceiving people for several years without blinking an eyelid, has profound skills.

Time passed slowly, and the flood level outside was getting higher and higher. They stood on the fence and looked into the distance, and they could even see many houses, trees, and various things running towards them.

Of course, many zombies can be seen in it. Some zombies have sharp claws, and they can be caught on the wall to prevent themselves from being washed away by the water. When the supernatural beings were patrolling the fence, they were directly killed with supernatural powers so that they would be washed away by the water.

"It's already April 22nd..."

The snow has all disappeared, and even the melted ice has been washed away by the flood, and it has not stayed here. At most, there are still thick snow on the top of the mountain that has not been washed by the water. , looks like a mountain hat in vain, if you ignore the flood below, it looks pretty cute.

Guan Yue looked outside, and said: "Most of the zombies near J city will definitely be washed away, but there are also zombies and various things that rushed over from other places to replenish them. There should be no corpses of dead people. Because in these waters, there must be a lot of zombie fish, not to mention corpses, I don’t think there will be even a single bone left.”

An Zhongshi looked at the flood rolling outside, and there were many other people on the fence who came up to check the situation. They were all very worried about the flood. Of course, the most in his eyes was rejoicing, and the people who had stayed in other bases were even more powerful.

Because there is harm if there is a comparison, the original base must not be able to prevent such a large flood. What's more, Guan Yue saw more than a dozen chickens on the side of the wall looking outside, looking like he wanted to go out but couldn't bear it. It looks like can't get out.

Withdrawing his gaze, Guan Yue pulled An Zhongshi back, "The flood will not last long, and it will subside in a few days."

"Is it because the snow melted too fast, and although the flood was fierce, it didn't last long?"

"Well, if I count correctly, it should be over in about a day or two."

An Zhongshi nodded. hope so. Some people in their base have started to receive supplies on credit. Although they are not short of supplies, but... Credit is definitely not what everyone wants to see.

Sure enough, two days later, the flood outside really receded. Many people in the base were ready to move. They recharged their energy at night and planned to go out to hunt a wave of crystal nuclei the next day. First, pay off the previous credit.

Early in the morning, Guan Yue walked to the metal gate and stood there. There was actually some flood outside. After all, it is impossible for all the water to recede completely. The terrain of their base is slightly higher than the surrounding area. So there is no water around the base, but walking outside, the terrain has not changed from before, but there is still about one meter of water.

But such a small amount of water will subside within a day. Although there is not much water, the things in the water must be very mixed. Guan Yue wondered if he would see the situation in the distance when he led the team out one day later. There is no need to think about it anymore, because the first wave of zombies came after the flood receded! !

"Liu Ying, ring the giant bell prepared in the base, and let all the combat power gather on the city wall!"

In order to inform all the people in the base of the important situation, he asked Liu Ying to build a giant clock with metal near the metal gate of the base. Liu Ying stretched out her hand to close the metal gate completely, and then used it on the giant clock. Ability.

"Boom—"

The sound of the giant clock was so loud that everyone in the base could hear it. No matter what they were doing, the people in the inner city put down their things and rushed to the gate as quickly as possible, while the people in the outer city were still there. Some of them didn't know what the bell meant, but when they saw everyone heading towards the gate, they followed without asking any further questions.

In about ten minutes, almost all the people had gathered. Guan Yue's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he stood on the fence and said, "We don't need to go hunting anymore. The first wave of zombies has already arrived. I looked at the number About 10,000, we have more than 1,000 people here, almost everyone kills eight or nine zombies, can you do it?!"

"Yes!!" This is the first wave of zombies that their Ability Base has ushered in, and they must not be shy.

Guan Yue looked at the people who were already ready to move, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Did this group of people think that these zombies who had survived the second winter and overcome the flood would be as easy to deal with as they were before the winter?

joke! ! Of the more than 10,000 zombies outside, more than 90% of them are zombies above level one, and the remaining 10% are ordinary zombies. Even ordinary zombies are much more powerful than before winter.

Guan Yue even found about seventy or eighty first-level high-level zombies and about two second-level low-level zombies inside. This wave of zombies should be jointly controlled by these two second-level low-level zombies.

It's really amazing... After the zombies evolve, not only their combat effectiveness has become stronger, but their IQ has also become much stronger. Isn't it true that zombies of the same level are fighting to the death? These two actually know how to cooperate.

Either they were good friends before zombification, and they had a good understanding, or their IQ was high enough to easily discuss cooperation, or worse, the situation was more serious than he had expected...

But when the soldiers came to cover him with water and earth, Guan Yue really wouldn't be afraid of these zombies.

Turning around and looking at the supernatural being who couldn't wait below, he showed a nasty smile, and said about the situation of the zombie tide he saw just now, and said: "I hope everyone will be more careful, be careful not to die, or don't Zombie..."

"The high-level executives of our base, such as me, my lover, and Liu Ying, Luo Yi, and Jiang Zhen, who you know well, will watch you from the sidelines. As long as you don't make too much noise, basically you won't die. But for those with inflated self-confidence, don't blame us for not saving you when the time comes..."

Everyone trusted what Guan Yue said, and as long as they opened the door, they could see the situation of the zombies outside, so there was no need for Guan Yue to lie to calm them down about the level of zombies.

"This first wave of zombies, the number is not particularly large, just suitable for us to go out to fight. When the total number of zombie waves increases in the future, we can't open the door at will to go out and communicate with zombies face to face."

"Liu Ying, please open the door. The zombies are about 2,000 meters away from us. Let them have a look and prepare themselves." Guan Yue turned and said to Liu Ying.

Liu Ying nodded, and put her hands on the door. The metal door opened slowly, and the people inside walked out from the door, watching the wave of zombies slowly approaching in the distance. Although the zombies were arranged crookedly, they could still It can be seen that they are in formation, which means that their actions are moving closer to a disciplined organization.

Many people swallowed their saliva when they saw those zombies, and their hands trembled a little, "What are you afraid of! Most of our strengths are above the second level, so why are we still afraid of most of the first level?" Zombies?"

Although at the same level, zombies are generally more powerful than supernatural beings, but their level is relatively high. Surely there will be no situation where they will be suppressed by zombies lower than their own level?

And most of them are old people who went hunting with Guan Yue and the others many times last year. Everyone's confidence has gradually returned.

The team of zombies approached slowly, probably because they were walking in the water. Their speed was a bit slow. After more than ten minutes, they only approached half of the distance, but everyone did not relax.

Maybe they have zombies with water abilities, lurking quietly, planning to give one of them a fatal blow first? Just when Guan Yue was thinking this way, a cute big head popped out of the water near the relatively high land, that is, ten meters away from the gate without water. There is a zombie biting in the bloody mouth, this is the water-type supernatural zombie they just thought of, the level is the second-lowest level.

That is to say, it was one of the two second-level low-level zombies, who took a few bites and quickly swallowed this zombie. It may be because of the lack of a leading zombie, and the other zombie Hiding in the crowd of zombies in the distance let out a sharp howl, and all the zombies began to rush over frantically regardless of their formation.

But it may be because they are in the water, even if they run, they are not very fast, so instead of seeing a sense of urgency, everyone finds such speed and posture particularly funny.

Even Guan Yue couldn't help showing a smile, "It seems that the IQ of the zombies is still worrying, this time the wave of zombies should be able to clean up the people in our base without casualties, let's take a look at another second-level zombie Where are the low-level zombies hiding?"

An Zhongshi pointed to a direction, which was the corner of the zombie group. There was a zombie slowly squatting down and preparing to dive into the water.

"Is this going to dive into the water and attack like the first zombie? Is this also a supernatural zombie of the water system?"

"This is not very clear, but I don't want us to simply find him, that's for sure."

Guan Yue sensed it for a while, but before he sensed it, Luo Yi, who was standing by the side, yelled loudly, pointing to the direction where the zombie dived into the water just now, and said, "I feel that the zombie is always at the bottom of the water, and ran away!!"

What? That zombie escaped? Why run away? Could it be because his partner was already dead, and he knew there was no chance of winning this time? Come back later?

If this is the case, then this supernatural zombie must not be let go. Knowing that the combination partner attacked the base with a wave of zombies, knowing that his partner died miserably and quickly, he can understand that this attack has no chance of winning, and he knows that he has been in a daze. You will die here, so those who block the base with so many cannon fodder zombies should escape first.

"IQ is not as high as usual. I guess this zombie's IQ is stronger than ordinary zombies with supernatural powers that have successfully evolved. It must be killed. I will let Dameng chase after it."

Du Meng cheered cheerfully, and the avatar with a head quickly followed it from the ground. Maybe it felt that something powerful was chasing him, and the zombie also accelerated.

But in the end, it was bitten off by Daimeng's bloody mouth and densely packed fangs, but even with both hands, the zombie still did not give up and escaped, but Daimeng has more than one mouth.

The remaining upper body was divided by the other two cute mouths.

"Master, these two are delicious today! There are a lot of snacks, I want to eat too..."

Guan Yue nodded, "Then you can eat it, but you are only allowed to eat it from the back. The front ones have to be practiced by the people in the base. You can eat them after they are killed, but you have to hand over the crystal nucleus."

"Then can I not hand over what I ate myself?"

"Okay, what they kill will be handed over, you know?"

"Okay master! I got it!!" Dai Meng cheerfully promised.

As for the two second-level low-level supernatural zombies that were eaten just now, these two crystal nuclei Guan Yue did not let Daimeng take them out. They have been hungry for the whole winter, and they had to be fed at the beginning.

There is also this little cutie, Hong Bao, who has already let his avatar go out to look for food in the distance. He has divided into several avatars, and when he is full, he comes back to fuse with Hong Bao, and Hong Bao can absorb a lot of energy.

"It's coming! It's coming up! Everyone is ready!!"

It may be because without the guidance of the two second-level low-level zombies, the zombies now seem to have lost their will one by one, relying only on their desire for flesh and energy, they have been chasing the supernatural being and rushed over.

Many of Liu Ying, Luo Yi, and Jiang Zhen stood behind everyone and looked at them, while Guan Yue and An Zhongshi stood on the top and watched the overall situation. This cannot be relaxed. Several people were surrounded by several zombies. Stop, seeing that they were about to be eaten by zombies, Liu Ying waved her hand behind them, and those zombies were pierced through their heads by steel thorns, and the crystal nuclei in some zombies fell out.

The man was stunned for a second before he was annoyed that he was stunned just now, even if it was only for a second, and then he worked hard to kill the zombies, even in face-to-face battles, the rotten flesh on these zombies was exuded by someone. The incomparable stench, all of them endured it.
