Chapter 800 Blood Plague Research, the Power From Blood!
On the southern coast of the New World, there is a saying that has been circulating among adventurers all year round.
I would rather live alone as a ghost in the wilderness than go to a refugee camp to stay warm and find comfort.
It's about how dangerous the refugee camp here is.
Every day, countless people in places like this are on the verge of death for various reasons, struggling to survive.
Every day, countless people are working secretly here to survive by trying to steal the property of similar people.
People here are extremely afraid of death, but they are not afraid of the actual moment of death.
Once you are targeted in a place like this, if you don't have strong strength to protect yourself, those dead bones in the wilderness are the best example.
December 14, the eighth year of the last calendar year, in the blink of an eye, it was the third day since the Tianyuan Fleet left the Fu'an United Territory.
After losing this best hope, the entire refugee camp became extremely depressed in just two days.
Although they are very reluctant to admit that they have been abandoned, with the iron evidence in front of them, anyone will feel a little desperate.
Early morning hours.
There were people coming and going on the path where the coffins were parked in the tent camp. Many people were carrying small bags and hurriedly walked out of the camp with their heads lowered.
Of course, this does not mean that they feel that the camp is hopeless and want to leave.
But for many days, the food around the camp has been consumed by tens of thousands of people. If you want to find new food, you have to go further.
They got up earlier and set out earlier so that they could return to the camp before darkness enveloped them.
The clouds are misty, the mountains are cold and the water is cold, and it is crowded and silent.
Living by the river, there are no mountains to block it, and the cold wind in winter is even colder, blowing so hard that many people move forward with their necks hunched and their heads covered.
Mixed in among these people, Zhou Xun also hurried out with his own luggage and homemade hunting weapons.
In fact, he had already accumulated enough supplies in his tent to survive the entire winter alone.
But the reason why I follow these people now is because
"My appetite is getting bigger and bigger. I was still rich eating the supplies before, but with my current appetite, I'm afraid"
"More than three times!"
Walking out of the camp, I came to a deserted place.
Zhou Xun took out the hard cake on his chest, took a vicious bite, chewed and swallowed hard.
The intake of carbohydrates barely soothed his burning stomach, but the urgency from the inside still made him feel hot and uncomfortable.
Various symptoms showed that he was ill, and not seriously ill.
The blood plague that most people in the camp were suffering from, after being exposed to it for so many days, finally spread to him.
Although his symptoms were a bit strange compared to most people's, there were tens of thousands of people in the camp, so there were quite a few people who were just as strange as him.
Based on the experience of his predecessors, Zhou Xun knew very well.
If you cannot ensure adequate food intake, your body will quickly weaken and there will be no chance of recovery.
Only continuous high-calorie supplementation can barely maintain energy and combat effectiveness.
"I only have one person. If he falls, he dies. He must cheer up!"
Zhou Xun murmured in his mouth, and a frightening scarlet flashed in his eyes.
His desire for war has made him successful in hunting recently.
Even in the face of those mutated creatures that he didn't dare to challenge before, he suddenly had the courage from nowhere.
Only today, he had just left the camp not long ago and had not yet entered the area where he usually hunts.
Five figures with a thin figure and a hint of madness in their eyes suddenly appeared behind him.
"who?"
Zhou Xun immediately turned his head and looked at the place where the sound came from.
What surprised him was that these five people didn't have any hidden thoughts. When they saw him, they walked out directly.
They glanced up and down directly, showing a sense of looking at "food".
"I have blood plague No. 3. If you eat me, you will die faster!"
Grabbing the long wooden bow hanging on his back, Zhou Xun skillfully bent the bow and set an arrow, and slowly moved higher.
His eyes were fixed on the movements of the five people, and he felt a thorny feeling.
A crazy refugee camp where anything can happen.
When they are on the verge of death, people who have no bottom line will be more tolerant of themselves and commit some evil deeds that were previously unimaginable.
Although he had never seen these five people before, the red tiger head badges on their chests always showed their identities.
Blood Tiger Gang.
The third largest gang in the refugee camp.
The gang members were all infected with Blood Plague Zero. After surviving the extreme weakness, some aspects of their bodies were greatly strengthened.
"Hehehehe, I know"
The leader of the five took a step forward and let out a hoarse laugh, as if he was suppressing something.
"Boy, your meat doesn't taste good, but we are hungry, we are very hungry"
"I can give you something to eat. I'll give you everything I bring." Zhou Xun took out three large cakes from his chest, picked them up and put them back again after giving a signal.
His hand never left the bow and arrow, always on alert.
"It's not enough for five of us, how can three pieces of cake be enough!"
"Don't go too far." Zhou Xun's eyes narrowed, and the heat in his heart made him want to just draw the bow and shoot.
But reason told him that if he offended the Snow Tiger Gang, he might not be able to stay in the Fu'an United Territory.
In the cold winter, he wanted to migrate to the next territory, and he didn't know what kind of danger he would encounter on the way.
"Don't worry, don't worry, we don't need your cake, as long as you tell us"
"Where are your supplies hidden, we will let you go!"
"What?" Zhou Xun was shocked, but he remained calm and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about."
"You don't understand?"
"Hahaha, you actually said you don't understand?" Before the voice fell, the Blood Tiger Gang member who spoke suddenly moved.
His skinny legs burst out with terrifying speed, and he was about to rush up almost instantly.
However, Zhou Xun, who had been on guard against the five people, was not a pushover.
Just as the man ran two steps, a sharp arrow flew over.
It was nailed hard on the opponent's right leg!
"Ah!" A shrill scream sounded, and the iron arrowhead penetrated three points into the flesh, and the man fell to the ground in pain and rolled on the ground.
Seeing this, the other four people who were slightly slower could only stop and stand in place in fear.
"Boy, do you know what you just did?"
"He is Shunhu, the ninth-ranked leader of our Blood Tiger Gang. How dare you attack him?"
"What the hell is Shunhu? If anyone dares to take a step forward, my next arrow will not hit him!"
Zhou Xun licked his lips, and his expression became fierce.
"Very good, very good!"
Drag Shunhu on the ground, the remaining four people did not dare to go up again, and could only retreat slowly with harsh words.
When Zhou Xun saw the four figures disappear, he frowned slightly and turned away.
In the dry and messy forest.
After dragging Shunhu for more than ten minutes, the five people of the Blood Tiger Gang stopped.
"I didn't expect this kid to be such a ruthless guy. Well, orphans like him are braver than normal people."
Biting the rag, Shunhu stretched out his hand and pulled the arrow violently.
Wow!
Black and red blood spurted out. Fortunately, this arrow was not a triangle, but a flat angle.
After the arrow was pulled out and the healing powder was sprinkled on it, Shunhu was sweating profusely in pain, but at least his life was saved.
"Boss, are we just going to let it go?"
"Yes, the food in his tent is only enough for seven days. That kid must have hidden a lot of supplies!"
"Arthur is really stubborn. Even if we interrogate him with his daughter, he won't tell us where the supplies are hidden."
Seeing Shunhu recover, the four people around him couldn't help but speak out.
After getting used to robbing ordinary people, it's nonsense to let them go hunting again.
After all, compared with vicious mutant creatures, it's not easy to compete with the same kind.
And as long as you catch a fat sheep, it's not surprising to collect enough supplies for a week or even a month at a time.
"Of course we have to continue. No matter if he has supplies or not, he dares to shoot me. He must die!"
"Catch that old man Arthur when we go back, and his daughter. If he doesn't tell me, I will let his daughter die in front of him!"
Shunhu's face was as pale as gold paper, but his words were still chilling.
"Boss, the lord has ordered that no force can be used in the camp. If we openly violate it..."
"What are you afraid of? Just lead them out. The lord didn't say that it can't be done outside the camp."
Swoosh!
A quick sound of air friction sounded.
Shunhu's words were stuck in his throat forever!
On his forehead, a feather arrow flew into it at this time, and the tail of the arrow was still swaying, exuding a terrifying power!
"No, he's coming"
Swoosh!
Realizing that Zhou Xun had returned, the four people immediately reacted and wanted to hide behind the bunker.
But just as they got up, another feather arrow flew over and took one person's life.
"Zhou Xun, Zhou Xun, if you kill Shunhu, the Blood Tiger Gang will not..."
"No, no, we will keep it a secret for you, as long as you are willing"
Swoosh.
The remaining three killed one more person, leaving only two people.
Unlike guns, bows and arrows naturally have excellent concealment in such a complex environment.
Until now, they still haven't found each other's figure.
"Don't kill me, we will tell you, we will tell you where Shunhu's supplies are hidden"
"Let us go, I will take you to get his supplies"
Swoosh.
The feather arrows are still emotionless, like the sun in winter, cold enough to make people shiver.
Finding that he was the only one left, the last member of the Blood Tiger Gang suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and rushed out, his arm muscles were filled with blood and became three times the size.
He suddenly pulled up a small tree next to him and waved it like crazy.
I don't know if it was a lucky coincidence, as the trunk hit a big tree, Zhou Xun's figure fell from it.
Gu, creak.
With the cushion of the tree branch, Zhou Xun was dizzy even though he didn't break any bones.
When he woke up a little, the last member of the Blood Tiger Gang had already rushed to his side and was about to smash the small tree down.
"Don't kill me, I'll tell you where the supplies are hidden!"
Zhou Xun shouted in a hurry.
Sure enough, the man was obviously stunned, giving him time to roll on the ground to avoid the attack.
Getting up, Zhou Xun subconsciously wanted to touch the bow and arrow behind him, but was shocked to find that the wooden bow was just hanging on a branch when he fell just now.
Although it gave him a little buffer, it also put him in danger at this time.
"What should I do?"
Take out the dagger from the waist, hold it in your hand, and look around anxiously.
The opponent has entered the blood plague state. It seems that he is a guy with enhanced strength, and his speed is not superior.
He wants to run now, it is indeed no problem.
But if this person goes back and tells the Blood Tiger Gang that he killed these four people, then the troubles that follow
With a fierce light in his eyes, Zhou Xun decided not to run away and calmly focused all his attention on the opponent.
Running means death.
Not running, there is still a possibility of survival.
Even if it costs a certain price, he must win this life-and-death battle!
"My strength is comparable to that of a tiger or a wolf, boy, what can you use to fight me, Dalihu!"
"Just rely on this little dagger?" Holding the small tree, Dalihu laughed wildly and rushed over.
Although his movement speed was slow, his speed of attack was not affected at all.
After several consecutive hits, Zhou Xun dodged in time, but was still hit once, and his waist suddenly swelled up.
"No, his strength is too great, I can't confront him head-on"
"We must find a way to consume his physical strength first, so that there will be a flaw!"
Knowing that he couldn't fight the opponent head-on, Zhou Xun could only continue to dodge and avoid injury as much as possible.
But what he didn't expect was that just after he had the idea that the opponent was too powerful.
An unprecedented strength and warmth suddenly emerged in his body.
At the same time, the heart in his chest began to beat violently, and the heart rate instantly rose to 170 or above!
"What, what happened?"
Rolling to the side again, Zhou Xun couldn't figure out what happened just now.
But at this moment, his brain reacted quickly, and he quickly said silently: "I want speed, I want speed!"
The idea was generated, and the warm current similar to the previous one really appeared again.
A new force appeared on his left calf, bringing a slight change to the speed.
At the same time, the heart rate also rose again, reaching about 180.
"It can be increased, it can be increased, give me a little more speed!"
Between life and death, just a slight change in speed made him feel that the powerful tiger in front of him seemed to have a flaw.
Covering his chest, Zhou Xun still silently chanted in his heart.
But this time, both legs changed at the same time, which brought unimaginable pressure to the heart.
The manifestation was that the heart rate directly broke through 205, reaching the human limit of 210!
"Enough! Enough!"
The sudden increase in speed by at least 50% was enough to help him see the flaw of the powerful tiger thoroughly.
Just when the opponent just raised the small tree, he suddenly slammed his feet and rushed to the side.
The powerful tiger reacted and made a move to sweep.
But this time, he didn't expect that before he could sweep out, the opponent had already circled behind him.
In a hurry, he put down the small tree and wanted to fight with his fist.
What a pity.
"Lord, you can't kill you stupid pigs outside the camp!"
The dagger did not pass the neck, bringing a trace of sad and beautiful blood.
The next second, as more blood flowed out, Dalihu's blood-filled arm instantly deflated as if it had been deflated.
He fell to the ground powerlessly, trying to cover his neck, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand.
"Ha, ha ha ha, in the end, I still won!"
Zhou Xun fell to the ground, raised his exhausted arm and placed it on his chest that was rising and falling rapidly.
Fighting at the extreme heart rate, even if it was only for a dozen seconds, made him feel light all over and reached the edge of sudden death.
And when the strange power was removed, the beating heart did not stop.
But fortunately, the heart rate finally stopped rising and began to slow down slightly, making him no longer so uncomfortable.
"It seems that there is no time to go today"
"Who is it!"
Creak.
Just as he was feeling relieved that he was alive, he suddenly heard a crisp sound next to him.
Zhou Xun's face changed wildly, and he struggled to get up and defend himself.
But he had just relaxed, so how could he have the strength at this time? Not only did he not get up, he almost fell down.
And not far from him, where the sound came from.
An eagle-like figure suddenly fell from the sky, splashing countless dust on the ground.
Compared with his hasty fall just now, this man was obviously much stronger, and he only squatted slightly to relieve the impact.
But this was not what shocked Zhou Xun.
In his field of vision, the man in the black robe, his exposed skin was so healthy, emitting a faint bronze glow.
Moreover, even the black robe could not cover his bulging muscles. Looking from top to bottom, he was obviously more than three times stronger than the few people from the Blood Tiger Gang just now!
"Damn, he can have such a figure, and his fighting power must be extraordinary. Even in my prime, I may not be able to take him down"
"Now"
Watching the other party step by step, Zhou Xun felt even colder in his heart.
He wanted to call for the magical power just now to appear.
But the gap in strength was huge. Facing this man, even the hidden power chose to play dead and did not make any movement.
"Let me go, I can give you supplies, a lot of supplies, including mine and Shunhu's, they are all your spoils of war!"
When the black-robed man was only a few steps away from him, Zhou Xun finally couldn't help but shout.
This was his biggest bargaining chip and the only trump card he could take out.
But to his surprise, the black-robed man seemed to have heard something funny and suddenly laughed:
"Supplies?"
"Boy, you are much more important than supplies!"
