Chapter 4 Star Crystal

The temperature was still about 40 degrees, and there was a thin smoke in the air that had not completely dissipated.

There were potholes everywhere, and the buildings in the community were basically destroyed, and only the black roots of the green plants were left.

Zhao Yin had a gas mask on his face, some food and water in his backpack, and a bone-cutting knife in one hand.

A roll of magazines was tied to his left forearm with tape, and the butcher knife was inserted there.

The whole world was dead silent.

In this doomsday, he had long been accustomed to loneliness.

Zhao Yin was alone, as if he was the only one left in the world, and walked alone into the misty smoke.

Go straight to the family compound of Guangzhou No. 2 Middle School!

Along the way, Zhao Yin saw countless corpses, some of whom were half burned by flames, and some of whom were smashed in the head by meteorites...

The end of the world came in the early morning, and most people were indoors and were eventually buried in buildings.

But these corpses did not decay due to the high temperature.

Zhao Yin knew that in the early hours of this night, all the dead people would get up again, and as they devoured flesh and blood, their broken bodies would grow complete. They would then continue to devour flesh and blood and star crystals, begin to evolve, and eventually become the nightmare of the survivors.

When Zhao Yin passed by a shopping mall that had not completely collapsed, he felt a prying eye.

He paused, turned his eyes and looked indifferently.

The upper floors of the shopping mall had collapsed, but the bottom floor was barely preserved due to the quality of the building.

There was plenty of food and water in the shopping mall, the area was large enough, and the fireproofing and heat insulation were perfect. It was not surprising that someone survived.

Zhao Yin did not intend to pay attention and continued to walk forward.

At this time, in an office in the shopping mall, a dark face was lying behind a crack in the wall, with bright eyes staring at Zhao Yin's back.

Until Zhao Yin disappeared in the ruins, his expression slowly relaxed.

This was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, his school uniform was dirty and torn, and the color was almost invisible.

"Okay, he's gone, there won't be another person to share our food."

"Brother, isn't it a bad idea for us to do this?"

In the corner behind the boy, there was a little girl of about eleven or twelve years old.

One of her arms was obviously broken, and she was holding two burned wooden boards wrapped with rags, with dark brown bloodstains.

"The food area of ​​the supermarket collapsed, and there is not much food left. How can we feed one more person?" The boy sighed.

"But didn't Brother Wang go to the collapsed area to find food?" The little girl pouted unconvinced.

"Brother Wang has been gone for three days, are you sure he can come back?" The boy asked back.

The little girl fell silent and slowly lowered her head.

The boy walked up and stroked the little girl's head: "Xiaodao, when my parents left, I promised them that I would take you to live no matter what. I swear in the name of Song Xiaojian!"

If Zhao Yin was here, he would definitely recognize that the little girl, who was only eleven or twelve years old, was Xiaodao.

...

Zhao Yin didn't know what he had missed, and his figure quickly shuttled through the ruins.

Along the way, he sensed several places where survivors were, but he ignored them all. They were not far from the residential area for the families of Guangzhou No. 2 Middle School.

Suddenly, Zhao Yin paused and looked back at a meteorite crater not far away. In the dim sunlight, there was a faint blood-colored light refracting.

He quickly jumped down the meteorite crater and dug with a bone-cutting knife.

After a while, a walnut-sized blood-colored crystal was grabbed by Zhao Yin.

Star crystal!

Zhao Yin did not expect to find the first star crystal so quickly.

The information about star crystals in the previous life was reflected in the blood of almost every survivor.

In the meteorite rain that lasted for a full month, there was a kind of blood-colored crystal mixed in, which was later called star crystal, and most of them were buried by ruins.

Zhao Yin had only heard that at the beginning of the end of the world, there were star crystals on the surface. With the outbreak of zombies in the early morning of tonight, the star crystals on the surface were swallowed by zombies.

Only a few fell into the hands of survivors.

Later, if the survivors wanted to get star crystals, they had to either kill zombies and take them out of their bodies, or rely on luck.

Star crystals can produce a variety of things, and no one can tell exactly how many kinds there are, even seven years after the apocalypse.

All star crystals look the same, and may only produce food and water, or a pack of toilet paper... If you are lucky, you can produce extraordinary equipment and evolution potions...

The most difficult thing to produce is the potion for awakening superpowers.

Superpowers are sought after by everyone in the apocalypse, and have exceeded the imagination of humans before the apocalypse. In front of superpowers, any evolver can only bow down, and ordinary people are even worse than pigs and dogs.

But items of the same type also have strengths and weaknesses, and later they were planned from F grade to SSS grade.

For example, a piece of bread, F grade may only help people quickly recover their physical strength, and recovering minor injuries is the best.

But above F grade, it may directly increase physical fitness and regenerate broken limbs...

Zhao Yin squeezed hard, and the star crystal in his palm was intact, and then he remembered that this body had not yet evolved.

He placed the star crystal on a piece of hard cement in front of him, raised the bone-chopping knife and smashed it hard.

Crack!

Several cracks appeared on the star crystal, and then a ball of white light emanated, which lasted for three seconds.

After waiting for the white light to dissipate, a green military uniform jacket appeared in the same place.

It turned out to be a piece of equipment!

The first star crystal after the end of the world opened up equipment.

Although based on experience, this uniform is only F-level.

But even so, its toughness is definitely not comparable to the clothes on his body.

Ordinary iron tools are difficult to cut through.

This is a good sign, and a glimmer of joy flashed in Zhao Yin's eyes.

He took off his clothes and put on the uniform, and he immediately felt safe.

Zombies broke out tonight, and with this uniform, the safety level was raised to a higher level.

He carried his backpack and continued to move forward with a bone-cutting knife.

The road was unobstructed, but no star crystals fell on the surface. Soon, Zhao Yin came to the family compound of Guangzhou No. 2 Middle School.

This place has long become a ruin and a dead silence. If Zhao Yin hadn't known in advance that Lin Tianfeng was here, he would never have thought that there were still living people here.

The zombies and strange beasts had not had time to mutate, and the survivors were still immersed in the sudden disaster at this time.

Most people would instinctively choose to stay in a safe place and continue to observe.

But some people are exceptions, such as Lin Tianfeng, an English teacher in junior high school.

He was holding a kitchen knife at this time, and crawled out of a half-collapsed basement with a listless look, and there was fresh blood on his white T-shirt.

Lin Tianfeng looked at the devastated world in the dim sunlight, and fell into a daze for a moment.

Little did he know that a pair of cold eyes were staring at him from behind the broken wall.

Zhao Yin understood that if he appeared too early, it would change the timeline of Lin Tianfeng, and it would be very likely that he would miss the star crystal carrying the "Contract Soul".

In the previous life, Zhao Yin met Lin Tianfeng three days later.

At that time, Lin Tianfeng had already obtained the Contract Soul.

It was just that he had not contracted any contract beasts. Lin Tianfeng's strength was just that of an ordinary person. When he was looking for supplies, his leg was broken by a broken wall, and it was Zhao Yin who saved his life.

Previously, Zhao Yin did not know when Lin Tianfeng got the Contract Soul.

But now it is certain that the time is today!

The zombie outbreak tonight will devour most of the star crystals on the surface. In Lin Tianfeng's current state, it is impossible for him to compete with the zombies for them, let alone have the strength to dig blindly in the rubble.
