Chapter 6 Discovering the Nucleus
"Di... Found the crystal nucleus, please collect it to turn on the system" Suddenly, the cold electronic voice in my mind sounded again.
"The crystal nucleus? Where is it? Could it be on the mutant mouse?" After hearing the sound of the system, Di Ping looked around and finally determined that the crystal nucleus should be on the mouse.
"Where is the nucleus? Is it the stomach or the head?" Di Ping looked at the bloody mutant mouse and thought for a while. The book said that it was usually on the head, so he took out a handful of deboning he bought from the kitchen cabinet. Knife, pick the mouse out of the crevice and put it in the sink.
Di Ping endured the strong nausea and broke the mutant mouse's head open. After searching, he found a round ball the size of a fingernail like a suet jade. It was warm and moist in his hand and cleaned with water. It also seems to have a faint special scent on it.
"It turns out that this is the crystal core. The system is turned on to want this thing. There is already one, and it is enough to hit four more!" Di Ping looked at the hot crystal core in his hand.
Di Ping didn't expect such a beautiful thing to be born on a dirty mutant rat. After watching it for a while, he didn't find any other use. He wrapped it in a piece of cloth and carefully put it into his pocket; only then did he look at the kitchen. A mess is a bit foggy.
The body of the mutant mouse is still in the small pond. If you don't clean it up, the weather will definitely turn bad. How can people stay in the room? Di Ping carefully used a garbage bag to put the mutant mouse in, and put in all the messy things on the ground. He also wiped off the blood stains with a cloth, and then washed it with water.
It took more than half an hour to make the room look like a real thing, and the instant noodles were all stained with blood and couldn't eat them, so they threw them all into the garbage bag; looking at the garbage bag, he didn't know what to do for a while, and it would definitely not work if he put it outside. Now there is no cleaning and tidying up, let alone putting it in the house.
In the end, Di Ping gritted his teeth and threw it out, right? Lightly opened the curtains and looked out, but there was no movement. It was the middle of the night, and it seemed to be no different from a normal night. Only the flashes of fire and explosions in the urban area from time to time proved that this night was not the same. calm.
Seeing that there was no movement, he opened the window lightly, lifted the bag carefully, let go of the garbage bag and fell downstairs with a whimper, and then fell to the ground with a bang; the sound came from far away, and the building seemed to suddenly become lively, There were constant squeaks and a few barks from time to time.
After a while, the building was low and chaotic. It seemed that several mutant dogs and mutant rats were fighting over the rat that killed the garbage bag. The barking and squeaking began to fight, but it seemed that the rat was really not the opponent of the dog. After retreating, there were several mutant dogs downstairs nibbling on the rat meat.
Di Ping didn't dare to look down, closed the window carefully, went back to the house, ran to the bathroom to wash the blood on his face, washed the soap three or four times, and did it when he felt that the smell of blood was gone. He also waved the clothes on his body, his feet were covered in blood, and there was a lot of blood sticking to his pants, so he always felt uncomfortable wearing the clothes.
After doing all this, Di Ping was no longer sleepy, so he sat on the sofa and waited quietly for the morning. Looking at the watch on his wrist, it was already five o'clock. It was almost dawn. In autumn, it was not too late. will be bright.
Near dawn, the community suddenly became quiet, and the mutant dogs in the community seemed to have also run out. Occasionally, a few barks could be heard in the distance, including the roars of animals that were unknown, either lions or tigers. Category.
It was just dawn. Di Ping was sitting on the sofa and was about to fall asleep when he heard a snap. He woke up with a jolt. After a closer look, he found that the power was off and the light in the refrigerator was off. He quickly got up and turned on the light. Sure enough, there was a power outage, and as soon as the electricity was cut off, the water would stop soon.
At this time, there was a sudden humming of a helicopter outside, accompanied by the sound of a loudspeaker. The loudspeaker broadcasted, as if to tell the public that there was a sudden change and hope that the citizens should hide at home and not go out, waiting for the government to rescue them. In addition, there are cats and dogs at home. It must be dealt with as soon as possible, but once the mutation is very aggressive, it will hurt humans at any time.
As the helicopter gradually moved away, Di Ping got up and prepared to get something to eat. It should be fine during the day, and he could cook some hot meals to eat. Now the electricity has been cut off. Fortunately, there is still gas and water, so there is no need to wait for the expiration date!
After cooking some rice, frying a dish and eating, I took a short rest and started today's exercise. I did five sets of chopping, chopping, stabbing, picking, and slashing. The strength increase was almost one-third of the original, so I added five more sets and stopped after I felt that it was too much to practice again.
The electricity went out, the internet was gone, the cell phone wireless signal was useless, Di Ping had no means of collecting information from the outside world, but luckily there was an mp3 at home with a radio function, government functions seemed to be still functioning, and the radio station was still broadcasting, Various information are broadcast from time to time.
Yesterday's situation was too sudden, and many places suffered great losses. Many people were attacked and countless casualties occurred. However, due to the inconvenience of transportation, many injured people could not be treated. The government's road-clearing plan failed. Not only did they encounter attacks such as mutant mice, cats and dogs, but also large beasts running out of the zoo, as well as countless poisonous snakes. The police team was limited by their weapons and could not repel the mutant animals. The engineering team had countless casualties and had to retreat.
The army has built a security base on the outside to ensure that the evacuated people have a safe place. It seems that it is not going well. Therefore, it is not possible to promote the rescue in the urban area. The government can only ask citizens to actively rescue themselves, not to go out casually, and try to collect food as much as possible. Hiding at home and waiting for rescue; this time in the face of such a big difficulty, the government is still positive, but this information is not retained, and it is largely transparent to the public, and the public is only allowed to know how far the situation is, so as to save people from chaos Speculation provokes panic.
Di Ping wore half of the earphones, and listened to the broadcast on the radio, looking for something to do, reading a book for a while, practicing swordsmanship for a while, and secretly checking the outside for a while, and so the day went by.
When night fell again, darkness enveloped the earth, and the boundless terror squeezed in. Di Ping leaned on the sofa and held the sword in his arms, looked at the kitchen, and waited quietly; Daoli came in, he didn't block the hole, he thought he hoped to have another mouse today, so that he could get the core again and strengthen it.
"Crack..." I don't know how long it took, Di Ping fell asleep with the sword in his arms, and suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and by the moonlight from the kitchen window, he found that there was indeed another one. The mutant mouse entered the kitchen and was nibbling on the two bags of instant noodles he left on purpose.
Rubbing his eyes lightly, he slowly stood up from the sofa and touched the kitchen lightly.
The mouse's hearing was too sensitive. Di Ping had just walked two or three steps and heard it again. He raised his head smartly and looked at Di Ping; the blood-red eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light in the faint moonlight, waiting for Di Ping. Ping rushed towards him with a low cry.
These mice were originally timid, but in the past few days, too many human beings have fallen under their sharp teeth, and their courage has grown infinitely. As soon as they see a human being, they immediately become abnormally bloodthirsty; after many years of peaceful life, human beings seem to have blood Li Huanggu's blood has faded away, and it is really sad that it collapses and perishes in the face of mutated mice.
After killing the mutant rat once, Di Ping also adapted a lot. Instead of retreating, he rushed forward to meet the mutant rat, and the distance of five or six meters would be reached in an instant; a long sword swept forward to meet the mutant rat, he did not. Dare to cut, if you cut the air to the ground and use excessive force, it will be too late.
After the enhancement, Di Ping's speed increased a lot. The long sword turned into a silver light and was picking at the chin of the mutant mouse. The mutant mouse also seemed to have a wrong vision. I didn't expect that the speed of this man's harm was so fast. Life, the mutant mouse responded to this sentence. The long sword carried a blood bead. The sharp blade almost cut the mutant mouse's head in half. It flew upside down and hit the wall and then slid to the ground, blood gushing out. When he came out, his limbs twitched unconsciously, and he seemed to be unable to survive.
Di Ping didn't expect it to be simple this time. It seems that it is still useful to practice swinging the sword. As the strength increases, and the mutant mouse also misjudged his speed, it was a move.
Soon, the mutant rat no longer twitched, and a mass of green soul energy rose from his body, rushing towards Di Ping, and quickly disappeared from his body.
"Di... found the energy of the soul, the energy cannot be stored if the system is not turned on, and the energy is consumed to strengthen the host body" The sound of the system sounded in Di Ping's mind this time.
Di Jing stood quietly, and after a while, a burst of energy rose from the depths of his body, and quickly swam around his body, strengthening his body. After ten seconds, the energy disappeared, and it came and went quickly.
With a firm grip of both hands, a powerful feeling rose from the body, and the strength was imposed again, almost a quarter of the increase, similar to the last time, to lift the shuriken, the sword became lighter.
Di Ping felt that he had to use numbers to also feel the increased strength. Almost once he increased his strength by 30 to 40 pounds, and twice increased his strength by almost 70 to 80 pounds. His original strength was similar, but this time it almost doubled.
"Uh, why didn't you mention the discovery of the crystal nucleus this time?" Di Ping was a little puzzled and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, the mutant rat was about to be chopped into flesh, and there was no crystal nucleus on the mutant mouse's head, only a soft bony body. It seemed that the crystal nucleus in this mutant mouse had not yet been fully formed; no wonder he I feel that this mouse is not as strong in response and strength! It seems that there are differences between those with and without nuclei, and not every mutant animal will have them.
"Is the system not good to start?" Di Ping sighed weakly.
However, there was infinite courage in his heart. As his strength increased, his courage became stronger and stronger, and his fear of mutant animals gradually subsided, and he thought about killing a few more animals.
He found a bag for the mutant rat that was about to become minced meat, packed it up, and threw it down the stairs as well, which immediately attracted a few mutant rats and mutant dogs to fight; It's not that people can't do it, it's that they haven't been forced to that point.
