After the fog, I became a birdman

In the dense jungle, the captain of the eight-person team walked in front because he wanted to lead the way. Qi Jiang behind him would occasionally ask some questions, because these questions did not involve any secrets, as long as he entered the base for a while, he would know, so the captain I didn't dare to hide it, I said everything in detail.

Their base is called Hope Base, formerly Hecheng, Xicheng and Xicheng.

These three cities used to live next to each other. Unfortunately, there is a wild animal sanctuary in Xicheng in the middle, where there are countless wild animals.

Last year's heavy fog gave birth to a group of powerful mutated animals, first a group of mutated birds, and then a group of carnivores besieging the city. After the earthworms mutated, they often dug traps and sneaked in. There were many other outrageous things.

In short, after the combination of mutated animals, Xicheng finally fell apart, and had to abandon the city and flee to Hecheng and Xicheng next door to seek shelter.

Hecheng and Xicheng survived the harassment of mutated animals in the foggy season, and recuperated in the rainy season. After the dry season came, they had several battles with mutated animals. The incoming worms took advantage of it.

Not long after the dry season came, Hecheng and Xicheng fell one after another. Finally, the two cities reunited while fleeing. After several twists and turns, they came to the place where the base is now and established a new base, named Hope.

The Huaxing Army in the three major cities were relatively tough. Although both Hecheng and Xicheng were destroyed by mutated animals, the people in these two cities abandoned the city and fled out of the city at that time, but they just followed the trend.

Without him, the city is too close to the base camp of mutated animals, and if everyone stays away from the reserve, they can save more strength at a lower cost and have enough time to grow.

Facts have proved that this decision is correct, because I hope that after the establishment of the base, everyone will know a lot about worms and have some ways to deal with mutant animals. This new base will soon succeed in gaining a foothold in this new world.

Because the Huaxing Army ordered the retreat decisively enough at the beginning, their strength has been relatively intact. The integration of the Huaxing Army in the three major cities has always been the place of hope in terms of strength. After a period of growth, they can already Challenge the mutant animals.

Therefore, the security, patrolling, and control of the surrounding environment of the base all depend on the Huaxing Army.

The style of the hope base is indeed very different from that of Fengcheng. In other words, the hope base has developed better than Fengcheng in many aspects because of its strength.

There is also a point system here, no idlers are raised, and relief food is not distributed. People who live here want to work hard if they want to be sheltered by the base. If you don’t want to do tedious work in the base, you can also register your own hunting team In the future, every time you come back from hunting, you can hand in a quarter as a deduction.

Speaking of this, Qi Jiang asked curiously: "There are many loopholes in this regulation. There must be many people who register their own hunting teams just to be lazy?"

The captain scratched his head: "That's right, but the food in the base is in the hands of Huaxing Army. In the past, everyone's stockpiled food was eaten up after awakening. If you want to get food, you have to hunt by yourself or buy it from the base. If you don’t have enough strength, no reputation, no one dares to go out with him after you sign up for a hunting team, you still have to come back to work in the end.”

Qi Jiang nodded lightly, and looked up at the captain again: "So, your status in the base is not bad?"

The captain was taken aback for a moment, then turned around with a dry smile and waved his hands: "Where is it, I..."

He paused, swallowed at Qi Jiang's curious and tough eyes, and understood that Qi Jiang didn't want to hear his humble words at all, and finally he told his situation wisely.

The captain's name is Chen Liang, and he is in his thirties this year. His unique ground-penetrating technique has made a lot of contributions in the previous worm wars, so he is a little famous in Hope Base. After that, he also registered himself The hunting team gathered some like-minded people one after another.

His hunting team is called Dima, and he and the team members are earth and wood awakeners, and everyone is also a second awakener. Because of the same strength, Chen Liang's team is distributed according to work, and everyone is very happy about it. Satisfied, so the relationship is also very strong.

Speaking of strength, Qi Jiang asked again: "How is the strength of the base after being blessed by heaven and earth several times?"

Chen Liang swallowed again, and glanced back at Qi Jiang nervously, not knowing whether to speak or not.

Qi Jiang didn't urge him, after all, he was not from Hope Base, so it was normal for Chen Liang to be on guard.

However, in the end, Chen Liang still spoke, his tone still humble: "Most people in the base are first-time awakeners, and these people seldom leave the base. Small hunting groups are generally dominated by second-awakeners. A large hunting team will have three awakened strongmen."

The awakened ones hope that Qi Jiang can understand the base's name for mutants well, and he also knows that Chen Liang only said the information on the surface: "What about the Huaxing Army?"

"This..." Chen Liang was a little embarrassed, and laughed dryly again, "Well, I'm just the captain of a small hunting group, so I don't know anything about the Huaxing Army."

He was still very nervous after he finished speaking, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear Qi Jiang ask again. Although he didn't know why, he finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally the question is over.

Behind him, Qi Jiang and Su Qing looked at each other indiscriminately, and both saw the thoughtful look in each other's eyes.

In fact, after each major earthquake, the spiritual energy will increase greatly, which can be regarded as a process of large-scale blessing, but this kind of blessing is actually targeted. Generally speaking, Qi Jiang and the others will not get much benefit, because in the In their impression, apart from the blessing of the vision in August, other large-scale blessings are the way of heaven to forcibly shorten the distance between the weak and the strong.

Like the blessings when everyone awakened together before, because Qi Jiang and the others have already awakened, the benefits did not fall on them. In the subsequent major earthquakes, every time they went to the Fengcheng base, they could feel everyone's strength. enhancements, but no other changes of their own.

However, even so, most of the people in the Fengcheng base were stuck in an awakening. As for what happened to them now, Qi Jiang and the two of them didn't know.

After the big earthquake in December, Qi Jiang and the others woke up again in a daze after falling asleep. They thought that they would get such great benefits, and the benefits of others would also be indispensable. But after arriving at the Hope Base, they discovered that the strength of the people here They all distanced themselves. Although there were quite a few awakenings for the second and third times, most people stopped at the first awakening.

This also shows that the great earthquake in December was not a large-scale blessing, but they who had not benefited all the time suddenly got the favor of heaven, which made Qi Jiang a little curious.

After thinking for a while, he couldn't figure it out, and then continued to ask: "When did you awaken on a large scale?"

Chen Liang, who had just been relieved for a while, raised his spirits again: "September and October?"

September and October... Qi Jiang nodded slightly as he recalled the previous situation. After experiencing these two major earthquakes, everyone and monsters were awakened. It seems that the external situation is similar to that there.

"There will be no large-scale awakening later?" Qi Jiang continued to ask.

Chen Liang shook his head suspiciously: "No, no."

"Then what is the reason for your second awakening? Is there any way?" Qi Jiang asked again.

Chen Liang and the team members behind felt very strange, Qi Jiang and Su Qing's aura was strong at first glance, why did they ask such strange questions?

"Well, this..." Chen Liang smiled distressedly. "I don't know how to describe it. In short, I just keep eating beast pills. When the big earthquake comes, if it happens to be in the critical period, I can awaken again."

Eat animal pills?So simple and rude?There is actually such a way to use the animal pill?

When Su Qing thought about it, Qi Jiang asked puzzledly: "Aren't you afraid of being poisoned or having other problems?"

"How could I have thought so much at that time." Chen Liang smiled wryly and shook his head, "Everyone has been groping for how to become stronger, and there is no one to guide the way, so they can only try whatever comes to mind."

It is said that Qi Jiang and Su Qing are in a complicated mood. They belong to the top powerhouses in the continent on the other side of the sea. In the eyes of Fengcheng people, they are also guides. Fengcheng people also rely on them, so they are close to them in everything. They are not stingy and never mind sharing some of their discoveries.

In the past, they thought it was a move to pull their neighbors out, but now, their existence actually dragged Fengcheng, a neighbor, to a certain extent.

Of course, Qi Jiang and Su Qing didn't feel guilty because of this discovery. They had done enough, and there was nothing to be sorry for Fengcheng. It was not their fault that Fengcheng was not doing well.

Both Qi Jiang and Su Qing fell into deep thought. They no longer thought about Fengcheng, but wondered if they had fallen into a misunderstanding all along.

For example, Beast Pill used this matter. They studied it for a long time. They didn't know the method until December when the stars fell and the law was introduced. They hope that the people in the base can find the right method just by eating.

They are confident that their own method is the best, but this incident also gave them an inspiration. If some things are considered from a different angle, the efficiency may be improved a lot.

After thinking about it, the Earth Vein Group had arrived near the base and met other hunting teams.

Chen Liang is indeed well-known in the base. The first time he met someone, the other party greeted him friendly: "Captain Chen, do you have no prey over there? Why did you come back empty-handed?"

After asking, the other party looked curiously at the two strangers behind Chen Liang, met Chen Liang's wrinkled face, and quickly walked in another direction with a haha.

They are going back to report.

A stranger has come to the base!

The sudden appearance of the hunting team interrupted Qi Jiang's train of thought. He looked at the direction the other party was leaving expressionlessly. After sensing the aura of the other party running back to the base in a detour, there was no surprise.

The closer they got to the territory, the more people they met. Everyone greeted Chen Liang loudly or silently, but after seeing Qi Jiang behind him, every hunting team detoured more vigilantly, or A whole team went back to report, or sent a person back.

Although everyone is human, but after a year of no contact, no one knows whether the visitor is an enemy or a friend, so it is necessary to be on guard first, and there will be no mistakes.

Because too many people reported the news, this matter quickly reached Huaxing Army's ears.

In the inner city office area of ​​the base, the deputy director of the management department frowned, puzzled: "What did you say? Two strangers came to the base? Where did they come from?"

The world expanded too much. During the rainy season, they couldn't find a base nearby. After so many earthquakes, they had long since given up hope of contacting other bases, but now two strangers appeared?

Are you kidding me?

"Deputy Zhang, they are indeed two strangers who have never seen each other before. Many hunting groups have come to report, so there will be no mistakes in this matter." The person who reported was categorical.

I hope that there are 2000 million people in the base. Although the number is large, the proportion of people who can go out to hunt is very small. Even if they don’t know each other, after going through so many things, everyone can at least be familiar with each other. wrong.

Deputy Zhang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is it strong?"

The person who came shook his head: "I have already sent someone pretending to be a hunting group to get in touch. I can't tell how strong it is. It has been awakened at least three times."

"Awakened at least three times? It seems that they are not easy." Deputy Zhang's eyes flashed, "Let Xingjie go to the door to check the situation first. It's best to ask where they came from, but don't neglect."

"Yes!"

Soon, Qi Jiang and the others left the jungle and entered the territory of the Hope Base. They could see the area of ​​more than 100 kilometers in front of them. Knowing that he said hello, he turned his head and detoured to report the letter, which was clearly seen.

All the way to the Hope Base, ten miles away, probably because they were afraid that the report would be discovered, so the hunting group who came out and encountered them just watched curiously and did not take other actions.

Arriving near the gate of the base, there are already many hunting teams wandering around curiously, and occasionally a few people can't help but look towards Qi Jiang and the others.

It's like the feeling of a newcomer in the village.

Su Qing was almost amused by his own thought, his cold pupils slightly concealed the emotions in his eyes, and followed Qi Jiang silently.

Standing at the gate was a young man with a pistol on his back. When he saw Qi and Su, he secretly looked at them. After realizing that it was impossible to judge their strength from the breath of the two, his eyes changed slightly, almost invisibly. He gave a look at a little soldier not far away.

Soon, the little soldier quickened his pace and returned to the base to report.

At this time, Qi Jiang and the two had already arrived at the gate to register. Chen Liang already knew that someone had come back to report, but in order not to be embarrassed, he pretended to be a guide and introduced them to Qi Jiang and the two.

"This is the registration room. When the base was first established, we registered here." After speaking, he looked at the staff in the registration room, "Sister Lu, please register for us."

Sister Lu raised a smile and took out a dusty register from under the table.

This is the registration book used when Hope Base was first established. Because there have been no newcomers for a long time, the register has not been used for a long time. If it hadn't been known in advance that newcomers were coming, this book would still be eating dust in the archives room.

"Please fill out the form, both of you." Sister Lu handed over the pen and paper very professionally.

The form needs to be filled with basic information, such as name, gender, place of origin, ID number, awakening category, and so on.

Regarding how to fill in the form, Qi Jiang and Su Qing have already discussed it. They concealed some information about their birthplaces, ID numbers, and awakening. Other than that, they filled in everything truthfully. It seems that it is the same thing. .

Now I can't connect to the Internet, and Sister Lu doesn't know if it's true or not. After going through the information, her pupils shrank.

Four awakeners? !

She couldn't help but gasped, smiled and signed her name, and at the same time took out another form and asked respectfully: "Where are the two gentlemen from? That is, where was the base or city where you lived?"

"Without a base, the train we took stopped running in the fog, and we have been wandering behind."

Sister Lu cursed in her heart: You don't look like homeless people, you look like human beings, and you live better than us.

She filled in according to what Qi Jiang said, and continued to ask: "Do you two want to live in the Hope Base? Or are you passing by here for a short stay?"

"It depends."

When Sister Lu smiled and nodded, she received a gesture from a man with a short gun not far from the window, and said with a smile: "That's right, we hope that the currency of the base is points. After completing a certain amount of contribution, everything including living materials and rent is paid with points. At present, people generally adopt three lifestyles, one is to stay at the base to work, and the other is to register a hunting group to go hunting by themselves, but the income from each hunting You have to hand over a quarter of your contributions, one is to join the Huaxing Army, you will get food and accommodation, fixed points and animal pill wages will be issued every month, and you can also exchange for desired spiritual objects through military merit..."

She talked a lot about the various benefits of the Huaxing Army, Qi Jiang didn't interrupt her, but waited for her to finish before asking, "Are there any other options besides these three?"

Sister Lu's throat was a little dry, she glanced at the water on the table, but she didn't drink it, she just explained with a smile: "Sorry, no."

"Can't points be deducted from contributions?"

Sister Lu still smiled and shook her head: "There is no such regulation at present."

Qi Jiang nodded slightly: "What are the requirements for the number and cost of a registered hunting group? What are the requirements for living outside the base?"

"There is no requirement for the number of registered hunting groups. You can register by filling out the application form and submitting a first-level animal pill. You only need to pay the rent to live outside the base."

The base has three areas, inside, outside, and inside. The more you go inside, the higher the security, and the more expensive the rent. The area outside the base can also be rented, but people who live outside want a larger area, so the overall rent is higher. It's not cheap either.

Qi Jiang asked about it and had already made up his mind, but he still turned his head to look at Su Qing and waited for his reply.

"I haven't met anyone for a long time, let's rent a piece of land as a territory." Su Qing wanted to find a place to transition.

Qi Jiang thought the same way, a smile flashed in his eyes, and when he turned his head, the smile disappeared without a trace: "We registered a hunting group and rented a territory within the territory, please choose a territory for us Location."

Sister Lu also wanted to persuade them to join the Huaxing Army, but she was a little afraid of Qi Jiang, so she could only take out the form and map: "This is the form, this is the map, and the places with white paper on the map are other people's territories. "

Su Qing took out a universe bag, and took out a one-time awakening beast pill from it: "This is the registration fee."

Afterwards, he took a map and took a look at the optional territories, and felt a little disgusted, so he gave Qi Jiang the map after he finished filling out the form.

Qi Jiang knew at a glance that he couldn't be selected, but when he looked at it himself, these territories were indeed so-so and did not meet their requirements.

"How about renting here?" Qi Jiang slightly lowered his head to discuss with Su Qing, and said lightly: "There is a river valley behind, and the scenery is good."

He completely ignored the tens of thousands of crocodiles in the valley. Sister Lu hesitated to speak, still hesitating whether to remind her, but in the next second she decided not to get involved.

Why would the boss care about these dangers?

"But there is still a group of monkeys." Su Qing pointed critically at the jungle near the river valley, with a disgusted tone, "Monkeys are so noisy."

"Just tell them to shut up, and monkeys seem to like to make wine, so we can taste monkey wine every now and then." Qi Jiang suddenly remembered this, "I don't seem to have thought of robbing monkeys before."

Su Qing carefully looked at the markings around the territory. Because the jungle had just appeared, the map was relatively simple, and the dangers marked were relatively simple. Apart from the crocodiles in the valley and the monkeys beside the valley, there were also a group of wild boars with tusks around their territory. .

"Just choose this one, put a warning stone tablet to the west, and don't let these bulldozers run into the house." In Su Qing's words, he has already regarded the jungle and river valley behind the territory as his back garden, so the territory is not too big. Small, and not expensive, only two second-level beast pills a month.

Su Qing subconsciously took out two second-level beast pills, and confirmed with Qi Jiang again when paying the money: "How many months?"

"Look at you."

Su Qing thought about it, they will leave sooner or later, if there is no territory they like in the nearby sea, then there is no point in staying here for too long, if there is a territory they like, then they will move out too.

"Then hand it over for a month first." Su Qing put the two beast pills in his hand on the table.

Sister Lu collected the animal pills and told the two of the precautions for building the territory and getting along with neighbors. The precautions are actually similar to those in Fengcheng, so there is nothing to remember. Qi Jiang nodded after going through it to show that he knew. up.

Now that it was getting late, there was nothing on the territory, and it was not convenient to live in, so he asked if there was a hotel in the base.

Of course, the Hope Base, which has not had outsiders coming for a long time, has not built a hotel as a facility.

Since there was none, Su Qing rented another house in the residential area. Seeing this, Sister Lu immediately suggested: "Mr. Qi, Mr. Su, I can't leave here, why don't I find someone to show you the house?" ?”

Qi Jiang knew who she was looking for as soon as he heard it, but he didn't refuse: "Yes."

The smile on Sister Lu's face grew stronger, and she enthusiastically waved to the young man with a short gun not far away: "Brother Liu, please do me a favor."

Liu Xingjie came over, and Sister Lu smiled and said that he was an acquaintance of hers, and then introduced him to Qi and Su.

"That's troublesome." Qi Jiang nodded lightly in greeting,

"No trouble." Liu Xingjie shook his head lightly, "This way please."

Qi Jiang followed, and from the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Su Qing lowering his head and sorting out the territory pass card given by Sister Lu. He subconsciously reached out and took the card and stuffed it into his pocket. He held Su Qing's hand and smiled, "Let's go first."

Hope that the base covers a large area, because the awakened need a larger living space, so the area of ​​the base is more than three times larger than the original site of Fengcheng.

But I hope there are enough people in the base, and I'm not afraid that I won't be able to defend the base.

While leading the way, Liu Xingjie introduced them to the area along the way. Walking in from the main road, the first place to pass is the War Pet Temporary Area. There are people coming and going in this area, and you can see that many war pets have a person following them.

Afterwards, there is a collection of functional areas such as the trading area, task area, and exchange area in the outer city. There are many shops and stalls in the trading area, and there are also many people in it. Really not low.

Liu Xingjie noticed that he looked at the trading area a few more times and then stopped: "Mr. Qi, do you want to go in and have a look? The things sold there are pretty good."

Qi Jiang didn't feel too much interest, turned to look at Su Qing, saw that he was not interested and shook his head: "It's getting late, let's try another day."

Noticing that Su Qing, who was relatively silent about everything, was making a decision, Liu Xingjie glanced across, paying attention to this in his heart, and nodded with a smile: "Then I will take the two of you to rest."

He took Qi and Su to live and look at their house, because Su Qing wanted a quieter place, so the rented house was a detached house. They are also more than 50 meters away, so don't worry about being disturbed.

"This is your house." Liu Xingjie walked to the door, "You can go in and have a look first, and if you are not satisfied, you can change to another one."

Qi Jiang opened the door and took a look: "There is nothing dissatisfied, thank you."

Liu Xingjie smiled and shook his head: "It's a little effort, then I won't bother you two to rest."

Qi Jiang and Su Qing watched him leave, and after Liu Xingjie walked away, they walked into the house and closed the door. Su Qing felt that the smell in the house was not right, and glanced at the ground with some disgust, letting out a little breath and blowing the house down. Drive away the dormant mutated plants.

Not far away, Liu Xingjie keenly felt the dangerous aura flashing behind him, his expression changed slightly, he drew out the two short guns behind him, and quickly chased the mutated plants leaving quickly in the ground.

Seeing him running fast from the window, Su Qing wanted to remind him with an ah, but he ran too fast, so Su Qing simply gave up.

At the moment when Liu Xingjie caught up with the mutated plants and was about to attack, a cloud of green mist spewed out from the ground suddenly. He subconsciously wanted to avoid it but it was too late. His body was paralyzed for two seconds, and his attack paused because of this.

The mutated plants in the ground took the opportunity to leave quickly. Liu Xingjie endured the pain and chased after him. After being sprayed with poisonous mist several times, he gave up helplessly with a bad smell all over his body.

Qi Jiang, who was hanging the curtains by the window, watched a good show, smiled lightly and shook his head to continue working: "It's still a little tender."

"Young people, it's good to suffer more." Su Qing propped his chin, not hiding the gloating on his face at all, "If you don't accumulate more experience, how will you fight against the new favorite of Heaven?"

Before the words were finished, a gust of wind was about to blow towards the house with a stink. Su Qing keenly sensed the smell of the mutated plant in the wind, and closed the window with a snap to block the intrusion of the stink.

"Why are mutated plants more disgusting than monsters?"

He wanted to complain, but the surrounding residents suffered a lot, with screams and vomiting one after another.

"Ah! What does it smell like? It stinks! yue~"

"Ah, it stinks, who farted! Why are your eyes so hot!"

"I'm going to die! Ah, why is it more smelly outside, cao!"
