Doomsday Sacrifice

Chapter 159
The sea, which had been calm for a day, suddenly lost its temper at night. First, a strong wind blew up and raged for more than half an hour. Then it rained heavily, beating and crackling on the boat, and soon turned to light rain, pattering non-stop.

I still eat fish at night, and with Yu Qingming around, everyone doesn't feel bored.

After eating, everyone sat in the living room on the main deck. Lao Fan told everyone what he and Cheng Xi had discovered in the afternoon. Li Xun carefully watched the video of Qujiang County taken by the drone, and studied the Some sunflowers and a newly discovered polar beast.

The extreme beasts have evolved more and more types according to the environment, and they are becoming more and more targeted. Their abnormal adaptability and super fast evolution speed are jaw-dropping. As time goes by, they will only become more and more dangerous.

The closer he was to home, the more uneasy Li Xun felt.

From the situation in Xiancheng and Qujiang County, we can see that the situation in various places is probably not optimistic. Zhoucheng is similar to Xiancheng, both of which are third- and fourth-tier cities. With a thousand square kilometers, the number of extreme beasts must be indispensable.

The situation in Silong Town shows that the distribution of extreme beasts has a lot to do with the population. There are many extreme beasts in places with a large population. The places where original extreme beasts have become special life forms will become nests, and nearby extreme beasts will gather spontaneously. Become a tribe.

And when the tribe grows to a certain scale, the extreme beasts will expand outwards, wreak havoc, hunting zombies and survivors. The scene of the extreme beasts bulldozing the residential quarters in Qujiang County is still vivid, and their destructive power is astonishing. up.

Once occupying a city, the polar beast should continue to expand, from point to area, to form a larger scale, occupy a larger territory, and eventually sweep the world.

Their strategy is very simple, but very effective, just because they are not only strong individually, but also have an organization that knows how to advance and retreat. If human beings want to win this war, it will be difficult in hell.

In Li Xun's view, this is the same as the Three Kingdoms strategy game he played before. The start is full of red enemy forces. First, a base must be laid under the enemy's nose, and a firm foothold must be established. Seize every opportunity and Time develops, and it is too difficult to survive surrounded by enemies who are staring at you.

There is a high probability that Zhoucheng will be occupied by extreme beasts like Xiancheng and even Qujiang County. Li Xun must be prepared for a big battle.

At present, he has more than 3000 units of genetic energy, and he is still [-] units away from the seventh evolution. If you are lucky, you may be able to solve it in one battle. If you are not lucky, you may be in Zhoucheng. And still so much.

He doesn't plan to use the genetic energy for the time being. At present, everyone in the team has no problem with their weapons, and their evolution level is also acceptable. We can wait until Zhoucheng to decide according to the situation.

There are about 110 rounds of energy bombs, counting [-] rounds per person, which can guarantee another battle of the level of the TV tower, and most of them come from that battle. Obviously, before the establishment of the base, they can still Fighting supports war, and making money from war is the only way.

Looking at the map, Li Xun and everyone talked about tomorrow's plan, looking for a car to go north along the Ring Expressway in the west of Dongfang City, and then take the Dongzhou Expressway to Zhoucheng.

The Donghai Peninsula Expressway has been well repaired, and most of the vehicles are in the province. Except for a few transportation hubs, there are not too many vehicles on the expressway, so it should be passable.

The journey of more than 200 kilometers took more than two hours to drive in the past, but now it takes five hours to be conservative, and they should be able to reach Zhoucheng tomorrow afternoon.

Naturally, everyone had no objections, and the duty time was arranged, and everyone went back to the room to rest early.

Li Xun, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help feeling a little uneasy at the thought that he would be home tomorrow, but he didn't know what was going on with his family. Since he couldn't sleep, he simply got up and boarded the flying bridge.

It's still raining outside, so I'm afraid it will last all night depending on the weather.

On the flybridge deck, Lao Fan was sitting on the sofa, fishing with a fishing rod in his hand.

The lights on the yacht were all off, and it was raining again, the surroundings were pitch black, and the visibility was extremely poor. In fact, Lao Fan couldn't even see the water surface clearly, so he fished purely by feeling.

He noticed someone coming up, and opened his eyes wide to look at the gangway.

"It's me." Li Xun said in a low voice.

"Oh, boss, I thought it was Cheng Xi, can't sleep?"

"Ah."

Lao Fan knew in his heart that besides being a little homely and timid, he was more worried about the safety of his parents and family members, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he simply didn't mention this matter and talked about another topic.

"Boss, last time you said you wanted to build a base, have you ever thought about where to build it?"

"have not thought."

"If you want to build a base, you have to choose a place."

"Well, location matters."

"It's best to have a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It needs energy, water, and comprehensive industries..." Lao Fan said while making calculations.

"Hehe, Lao Fan, is there any place that satisfies what you said at the same time?"

"Should there be?" Lao Fan was taken aback, uncertain.

"Well, maybe there is, but it's not easy to find such a place. If the location is far away, it's not enough to toss about on the road."

"That's right, what does the boss think?" Lao Fan asked.

"Well, there are three types of bases that can be built, space-based bases, sea-based bases, and land-based bases. You can think about which one to choose?"

"It's the three bases you mentioned yesterday, right? I understand land-based bases, but what are sea-based bases? Aircraft carriers?"

"Almost, but much bigger than an aircraft carrier, a floating and movable island."

Lao Fan imagined it in his mind, and thought it was very sci-fi. What was even more sci-fi was the aerospace aircraft carrier that Li Xun said: "Boss, can you really make an aerospace aircraft carrier?"

"It can be, but there are too many things needed to make it. However, you can first think about which base is more suitable. This is related to where we choose the base."

"Okay, then I have to think about it." Lao Fan said thoughtfully.

At this moment, the fishing rod in his hand was pulled, and he hurriedly pulled back the line, and caught a big crab.

After chatting with Lao Fan for a while, Li Xun was no longer so anxious. In fact, he knew that anxiety was useless, so he might as well get enough energy to go on his way tomorrow.

After returning to the room and sleeping until three o'clock in the middle of the night, he came to Feiqiao to replace Cheng Xi.

Lao Fan, Yu Qingming and Cheng Xi fished all night. Besides the crab, they also caught twelve fish. The harvest was not bad.

After Li Xun took the fishing rod, he immediately changed the bait to one made of genetic energy, and caught a bass in a short while.

While it was still alive and kicking, Li Xun tried to make a sacrifice. The system happily accepted the sacrifice and gave him a small sacrifice energy reward.

Sure enough, it's not that it's impossible to sacrifice living creatures, but that there are restrictions on sacrificing living creatures. This restriction should be the consciousness of Li Xun's guess. The fish's consciousness is not strong, or it can be accepted by the system without strong resistance.

Next, Li Xun tried to sacrifice the few fish he caught. Sure enough, all kinds of fish can be sacrificed alive, and the other crab can also be sacrificed, but with so many kinds of living creatures, the system can only The sacrificial energy reward was given, and the reward was pitifully small, and in the end it even lost the sacrificial value.

When the sky was getting dark, Li Xun put away his fishing rod, and besides the seven or eight sacrificed fish, there were still a lot left. Daju picked three evolved fish out of them, which made Yu Qingming very happy.

The rain that had been raining all night finally stopped, and the sun peeked out from the clouds.

Before leaving, Li Xun and the others took a bath while there was still plenty of fresh water on the yacht, and changed into the clothes they had prepared long ago.

There are two gas stations not far from the pier. Cheng Xi and Lao Fan found a pickup truck filled with gas.

Putting the lance into the rear compartment, and loading all the remaining food and water on board, the five bid farewell to the powerful yacht.

Before setting off, Lao Fan first used the drone to scout the surrounding area for three kilometers, and found no polar beasts, and there were not many vehicles on the roads, which seemed to be an auspicious day suitable for travel.

It is about five kilometers away from the nearest high-speed entrance and exit. It is directly westward from a road next to the pier. It is about twenty or thirty kilometers away from the city center. The population is not too large, and there are probably not many polar animals.

Cheng Xi drove the car halfway quickly, and Lao Fan, who was sitting in the back compartment controlling the drone, suddenly stopped him.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Xi poked his head out of the car window and asked.

"Survivors were found at the entrance of the expressway, and there were quite a few of them." Lao Fan replied.

Li Xun was also looking at the screen of his mobile phone. The drone was hovering over the entrance of the expressway three kilometers away. He could see several cars parked in front of the entrance, and there were people beside him.

At the front is a special police armored vehicle, the black body is tall and mighty, full of deterrence.

Behind them are all off-road vehicles, with various models.

A dozen people were gathering beside the armored vehicle, seemingly talking about something, and several of them were holding guns, which should be assault rifles.

The height of the drone is about 100 meters, and no one has discovered it yet.

"Boss, what should we do?" Lao Fan asked.

Li Xun thought for a while and said, "Put the drone away, follow the original route, and go over there to see what's going on. It seems that these people should also be on the highway."

"it is good."

Lao Fan controlled the drone to return and put it in his backpack.

Cheng Xi continued to drive to the high-speed entrance, three kilometers away in a blink of an eye.

Driving on the overpass from the auxiliary road, when approaching the entrance, a dozen people beside the vehicle heard the movement, and all looked this way, and then saw them disperse, quickly hid behind the car, and pointed their guns pickup.

Cheng Xi stopped the car 50 meters away from them, and someone shouted from the opposite side: "Who is it?"

"Stay in the car and stay on guard. I'll go over and have a look." Li Xun said in a low voice. He left the hunting bow and knife in the car, took only a spear, and got off from the passenger seat. car.

He took two steps forward and said loudly, "We are coming from Fengbei Wharf and we are going to get on the expressway. How about you?"

A 30-year-old man walked out from behind the SWAT armored vehicle. He kept a small gap, held an assault rifle in both hands, the muzzle of the gun was slightly downward, and his face was strong and resolute. He was very capable at first glance.

He stood ten meters away from Li Xun, staring at him like an eagle with vigilance in his eyes, and asked again, "Fengbei Wharf? The one four or five kilometers away to the east?"

"Yes, you guys want to go on the highway too?" Li Xun sized up the man, then glanced calmly at the few people still hiding behind the car, knowing what to expect.

There were eleven of them, five vehicles, three assault rifles, five pistols, all well equipped.

"Well, how many of you?" The man looked past Li Xun and looked at the pickup.

"Five, the others are in the car, there are quite a few of you, where are you going?"

"Going to the north, how about you?" The man was very cautious, and his words were vague.

"Let's go to the north too." Li Xun smiled.

At this time, three more people came out from behind several cars and came to the man. One of them, a young man with a pistol, whispered in the man's ear: "Brother Lu, there are no other people around, and there are no monsters."

Although the young man's voice was low, Li Xun could still hear him clearly, his eyes were slightly fixed, thinking that this person should be an evolutionary person with some kind of detection ability, so he couldn't help but look at him twice.

The man called Brother Lu nodded lightly, and looked at Li Xun with a slightly relaxed look: "My name is Lu Ke, what's your brother's name?"

"Li Xun."

"Did you find any monsters when you came here?"

"No, there are not many zombies, where do you come from?" Li Xun took the opportunity to ask.

"We are from Fangnan District."

Li Xun recalled the map he looked at last night. Fangnan District is a district south of the city center, and further south is Shaling District where Fengbei Wharf is located. Since these people came to the junction of the two districts from Fangnan District, It shows that there may not be many polar beasts along the way.

"What's the situation in Fangnan District? Are there many extreme beasts?"

"It was okay in the first few days, but now more and more, they have occupied the Oriental Maritime University, and there is a tendency to expand outwards. Life is getting worse and worse." Lu Ke's answer this time is much more frank.

"How many are there?" Li Xun frowned slightly, the situation here is not optimistic, similar to Xiancheng.

"Four to five hundred."

"Do you know the situation in the city?"

"I heard from a brother who ran out of the city that there are more monsters there, and we can't stay there. Have you been staying at Fengbei Wharf? What's going on there?"

"We just stayed at the pier last night, but we didn't find any polar beasts."

"Are you from Shaling?" The young man with the pistol moved his expression and asked.

"No, we came from Shanghai."

"Magic City?"

Lu Ke and the others were all taken aback, and the young man looked him up and down, without hiding the suspicion in his eyes, and suddenly asked, "Are you an evolutionary?"

"Ah."

"How many levels?"

Li Xun smiled, but did not speak.

"The four in the car are also evolutionaries?" Seeing that Li Xun just smiled, the young man didn't continue to ask, but immediately changed another question.

"One is not." Li Xun didn't hide it, and continued: "Okay, it's getting late, we have to hurry, let's go first."

Lu Ke suddenly said: "Wait a minute, the overpass in front of us is blocked by cars, and we can't get through. One of our buddies found a bulldozer, and we'll be back soon. Let's go together later."

Li Xun raised his eyebrows: "Then thank you in advance."

"It's okay, call your companion over, let's talk? Share information with each other."

"Okay." Li Xun nodded and waved to Lao Fan and the others.

Lao Fan and the others got out of the car and walked over.
