Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 156 The World is a Circle
Q City is adjacent to Hulu City to the northeast and Tang City to the southwest. They are also coastal cities, but Tang City's tourism industry is not as developed as Q City's. However, Tang City's fishery industry is much stronger than Q City's. Because Q City wants to be a coastal tourist city, there are many restrictions on seaside aquaculture, and the output of seafood is not as abundant as imagined. As a result, when tourists come to Q City for tourism, the various seafood and dried goods they buy at high prices are all produced in Tang City.
"So, if you want to eat seafood, you have to go to Tangshi! Walk around the beach and eat to your heart's content along the way!"
Sun Can only stayed in Q City for one day. After exchanging resources with Shen Jin, making a batch of equipment, and replenishing some food, he ran all the way along the sea to Tang City. The journey of more than 70 kilometers only took an hour at most for a third-level extraordinary person, but Sun Can was not in a hurry. He killed zombies and ate seafood along the way, and enjoyed , making up for a month of cautious and fearful life in B City. However, it is boring to travel alone, "The road of the strong is always full of loneliness..." Sun Can said with emotion.
Then, a voice that only he could hear rang in his ears: "Then I'll leave?"
“Ahem…” Sun Can almost choked and said quickly, “No, no, no, I’m just pretending. Anyway, people over here can’t hear you, so they’ll naturally think I’m the only one here!”
There was silence for a moment and then someone said, "This world is interesting, isn't it?"
"Compared to the monotonous life before... it's very exciting! Risks, opportunities, promotions, fears, excitement... you really should come to this world and see it!"
"Yeah, I want to go see it too... This Shen Jin, if his abilities were given to me, I would have unified the country by now... Construction, equipment, potions, what enviable abilities!"
At this time, two figures in black clothes appeared on the beach. They looked like zombies, but they didn't look very stiff.
"Oh, I don't envy him. After my fighting ability has been improved to a certain level, I can beat 1,000 of him by myself. That's how powerful I am!"
As he spoke, he looked at the two zombies on the beach with interest. Only 1 kilometer away from him, Sun Can heard a voice again: "Shen Jin told you that he knew about the fire. Did he say anything else?"
"It seems... I've seen anyone who can use a sword? Someone who is very good at it..."
"What else?"
Sun Can recalled the conversation with Shen Jin for a moment, "No, it seems that he is very sure that there is a master who uses swords. I don't know where he heard it. Xuwu, why are you asking this?"
Void: "Fire... Sword... I understand. Before you traveled through time, he had already seen your existence and... the existence of another person!"
"No way? If he has seen me before, how could he not recognize me now?"
Nothingness: "What he saw... was not you, but your ability... and his ability. In this world, there is at least one other traveler besides you! Find a way to find the person with the sword before Shen Jinru! I finally figured out a way!"
At this time, a large ship appeared in the sea, with several people wearing black hoods standing on it. They started fighting with two zombies!
Extremely intense!
Sun Can moved a small stool and sat aside to watch the show, then replied: "Good fellow, the system is not unique, and it's ok, but the identity of the time traveler is not unique? Sure enough... I am not the only protagonist in this world!"
"No... you can surpass the system and have the ability to communicate with people from the original world... that is, me. This makes you the most special. Go find the one with the sword. I have a way to make... us the protagonists among the protagonists!"
"good!"
Sun Can quickly picked up the small stool. The battle over there had already come to an end. The two zombies were originally very strong, but a third-level extraordinary person came down from the boat and took care of the two zombies in a few moves and pulled them onto the boat.
"Strange... Wouldn't it be better to just kill them and take the crystal cores? Aren't we afraid of their resurrection if we take them aboard? Besides... I always feel like those two zombies are weird!"
He was going to go and take a look on the ship. With five third-level vampires and one third-level transcendent, he was not a good enough opponent.
[Ding~! Emergency task]
[Level 3 zombies appear in the north and fight with humans. Host, please go and kill them. Completing the mission will earn you a lot of experience rewards...]
"Huh? There's a mission? Screw those two broken zombies, I'm going to do the mission!"
By completing tasks, you can gain a lot of experience, level up, and become stronger.
There are no zombies in Q City, so he couldn't gain experience to level up, so he ran to Tang City.
At this time, there is an urgent task, so why not do it?
Following the location indicated by the system, Sun Can ran over quickly, "Crackle, crackle——"
The team in front, who were extraordinary people wearing the Craftsman Soul Armor produced by No. 1 Home, were fighting with a huge swollen zombie. It was the T3 fat man with black energy shield in the tide of millions of zombies. He had a huge body and super strength, and his black energy shield had invincible defense. Although this team of people used many means, they still could not break the energy shield of the T3 zombie. Instead, the extraordinary people were knocked away one by one. If it weren't for the super protectiveness of the Craftsman Soul Armor, they would have died long ago!
"Damn it! Before I got here, I said it was a T2 zombie, but now it's a T3!"
Ye Fan and two second-level transcendents kept circling around the T3 zombies. Lightning filled his body, and he used the [Steel·Long Sword] with the [Energy Enhancement] attribute to attack frantically, but... he could only chop the T3 zombies' feet. The black light film vibrated, but it was far from enough to break the defense. "Ye Fan, take the brothers away quickly! I'll cover you!" a second-level transcendent shouted loudly.
"No! You go! My potential has only reached this point. You still have a long way to go in the future. China... still depends on you! Go!"
Ye Fan launched a suicidal charge from the opposite direction to attract the attention of the T3 zombies. The eyes of the other two second-level transcendents instantly turned red. They were all judged to be talented people with potential. They had not taken the "energy amplification potion" that overdrafted their potential. Moreover, they lived up to expectations and were promoted to the second-level transcendents. They were much stronger than these teammates who could only stay at the peak of the first level after taking the potion, but... Ye Fan was also rated as one of the most promising people in the past, but in order to avenge his partner, he brazenly improved his strength and led people to kill L1 zombies. Now he is trapped at the peak of the first level and serves as the leader of the Lightning Group.
"Let's go!" Ye Fan's strength was far inferior to that of the T3 zombies. His rich combat experience allowed him to narrowly avoid the attacks of the T3 zombies several times. At this time, two second-level transcendents saluted Ye Fan, took the remaining five people, and then fought against the three who were knocked away, and fled!
I ran into Sun Can who was rushing over... and a group of summoned creatures behind him.
Several people stared at each other for a moment, and the second-level extraordinary said seriously: "Comrades, run! There are third-level zombies behind us! The gap in strength cannot be made up by numbers!"
"Oh? Are you sure?"
Sun Can led five vampires to pounce on the T3 zombies. Red energy beams emerged from the ground. Red flames burned on their bodies. After gathering together, they formed a magma armor and flame enchantment. "Kill!"
Ye Fan was unable to dodge and was caught by the T3 zombie. His whole body was squeezed to the point of exploding, his bones creaking, and the next second he was about to be sent into the smelly mouth, "Puff--"
A purple-red light flashed, and the T3 zombie's hand broke. Ye Fan fell from the air, "Jie Jie Jie——" (I'm here to pick you up!)
A headless ghost that was scarier than a zombie grabbed him, then gave him a "friendly" smile with the head in its hand, "Fuck it! Get away from me!"
Ye Fan is not afraid of anything, even if he has a scar as big as a bowl on his head, he is afraid of ghosts and gods!
When I was a child, I was scared by the movie "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" and didn't dare to go to school for three days. The ghost grabbed the struggling Ye Fan, put him on the ground with grievance, and then... flew away. In the air, Sun Can and the vampire each held a purple Mayuling weapon with thick flames. Every sword and every knife could cause huge damage to the T3 zombies. His layer of black light film was useless in front of this weapon!
A minute later, “Puff——”
The head of the T3 zombie flew up, and Sun Can took out a transparent third-level crystal core from the head and put it into his backpack.
"Comfortable~! System experience credited!"
Then, he saw the extraordinary person who was trying to escape and Ye Fan staring at him blankly.
"Oh, you're right. The difference in strength cannot be made up by numbers. If we get a few more of these things, it will only take a while longer to fight, right?"
Two second-level transcendents: "That's right! That's what we mean!"
The teammate helped Ye Fan up from the ground, "Ahem...thanks, comrade!"
Sun Can looked at Ye Fan in confusion: "Why are you suppressing your abilities?"
Ye Fan pointed at himself in confusion: "Me?"
"You are obviously already capable of advancing to the second level, so why do you still want to maintain the strength of the peak of the first level? How strange..."
"Oh! I have taken it...wait!"
Ye Fan originally wanted to say that his potential had been overdrawn by Tianluodiwang's "energy amplification potion", but!
In a second, Ye Fan used his superpowers to charge towards the second-level superpower user. That feeling... was like a natural progression. "Puff! Boom!"
Countless purple arcs of lightning exploded on his body!
Second level extraordinary!
Ye Fan looked at his hand in disbelief: "Why!? I've clearly been..."
Sun Can shook his head: "It's weird, let's go!"
He still had to work hard to level up, and he had no time to chat with these people. As long as he didn't die, it would be fine. Who would care what they had taken, or whether they were promoted or not...
After Ye Fan was promoted to the second level, he was very excited. He was a person who had been prepared to stay at the peak of the first level forever, but suddenly he was able to break through. The feeling of joy was so great that it went straight to the top of his head!
"You...you guys try it! Push yourself to the second level!"
The other team members also started to learn, and half an hour later...
The faces of the eight peak first-level transcendents turned red, and they still couldn't find the feeling of being able to advance to the second level. "Brother Fan... isn't that right? There's not a single feeling of the natural progression you mentioned!"
"Ouch... I don't want to try anymore. Half of my ribs are broken. Let's get back to the base. I'm in so much pain!"
"Is it because Brother Fan has accumulated a lot of experience that he was able to cross this threshold? Do we need to hone our skills a little more?"
"Maybe..."
Ye Fan felt that these were not good reasons. After completing the mission, they boarded a helicopter from the rooftop of the nearby Seaview Hotel and flew back to City S. On the way, Ye Fan called the laboratory at the headquarters of the Tianluodiwang...
…
"Yeah... yeah... OK... got it... keep the line open, we'll arrange for you to come to the headquarters for testing as soon as possible!"
After the assistant received this very important call, he immediately came to Yang Tianyao's office. Hu Shou was standing in the room holding a small yellow note. After listening to the assistant's report, Yang Tianyao looked a little strange: "After taking the potion, can you still be promoted to the second level? This kind of thing... if it is true, it is very worth studying. When we first promoted this potion, we reserved the possibility that we could solve the side effects ourselves in the future. I didn't expect... someone would find it so quickly?"
Hu Shou nodded: "That's good news. Let's see what's special about him... In the past two months, the soldiers who took the 'Energy Amplification Potion' have made great contributions to China. They have cleared a large number of zombies, repelled hundreds of zombies, and recovered a large amount of supplies. This has laid the foundation for our next plan to clean up the whole country. If we can really find a way to solve the side effects, then... it really is the best of both worlds!"
The top-level first-level dragnet warriors have already spread everywhere, but as the zombies' time lock gets closer and closer, their role will become smaller and smaller, until... three months later, when all the zombies evolve into first-level zombies, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and it will take the cooperation of multiple people to kill a zombie.
Yang Tianyao looked at the note that Hu Shou had been holding when he came over, and finally couldn't help asking, "Don't keep me in suspense, just tell me!"
Hu Shou put the small yellow note on the table. On it was a line of words: "Level 3 extraordinary potion, can add a variety of hallucinogenic drugs for experimentation - left by Wallfacer No. 12!"
"Wallfacer No. 12? How does he know what we are researching?"
Hu Shou pointed to his head: "The Wallfacer doesn't need a reason, he only needs his imagination. Wallfacer No. 12 gave me another note!"
"What's it about?"
"Fourth-level extraordinary, energy is subtle!"
Yang Tianyao was shocked. "You've been stuck at the peak of the third level for a long time. This... might be an opportunity. But aren't the Wallfacers studying the failure of thermal weapons and the principles of the zombie virus? Why are you suddenly concerned about the level of the Transcendent?"
"No one knows... They don't have to explain to anyone. These 12 people have spent a lot of manpower and material resources in the past six months, and they will definitely come up with something useful. We just need to trust... these 12 people in China who are most likely to solve the zombie problem!"
Yang Tianyao nodded: "That's right... We just need to trust them. However, since we are talking about the third-level potion, I want to trade a bottle with Afghanistan. I want to see what the people of Shenji can research. According to their research methods... there will probably be side effects!"
"Okay, I'll make the call!"
…
"I'm really sorry for giving you this wrong order. We have already promised the potion to the strongest psychic in our country. One less bottle will affect the efficacy of the potion..."
After Kenny hung up the phone, he looked at the hooded God-Gathering Extraordinary in front of him with a flattering smile on his face: "Your country has seen it. I have always been rude to China!"
"Very good... We also sincerely hope that Afghanistan can become stronger and have its own third-order extraordinary person. Please be sure to use it yourself. If... I mean if, once we find that the potion has fallen into the hands of the Chinese, the consequences will be difficult for Afghanistan to bear..."
The extraordinary beings of the Divine Assembly released a strong pressure. The faces of the two second-level extraordinary beings behind Kenny turned pale. This kind of power... is impossible to resist!
"Level 3... so strong!"
After the people from Shenji left, Kenny hesitated for a moment and handed the potion to the only preserved laboratory in the country, "Go check the ingredients inside to see if there are any side effects. If the side effects are not serious... see if it is possible to copy it!"
"China...can't trade with you anymore. Afghanistan still needs to strengthen itself first. No matter what Shen Ji is planning, we will only be qualified to participate in your game if we become strong!"
The extraordinary person who left here called the headquarters and said, "The seed placement in Afghanistan went smoothly... The next target is the Kingdom of Yue!"
…
At the Shenji headquarters, a sweet-looking woman with neat short hair answered the satellite phone , communicating skillfully in the Chuibing language, and took notes in a notebook with a nice pen in her right hand. "Yes! I will write it down and report it to Colonel Tanaka!"
At this time, the door of the inner office opened, and a short man in a military uniform walked out, "Oh, Xiao Min! Why don't you report to me now? I want to hear you report with your back to me..."
The sweet woman heard the sound of belt unbuckling behind her, her face showed no sadness or joy, only obedience. Five minutes later, the phone in the office rang again. The woman grabbed the table with both hands and did not answer the phone, "Xiao Min, pick up the phone, don't delay the business!"
"But……"
"catch!"
The woman forced herself to answer the phone and turned on the speaker. "Report to the colonel, Hunting Team 1 has captured a zombie with human consciousness. He is also controlling a female zombie..."
"What!?"
Tanaka instantly became alert after hearing the news. He put the disheveled woman aside and returned to his office to discuss the matter in detail. This was a big deal and the people in the human laboratory would definitely be interested.
The woman calmly sorted out her clothes, edited the "seed plan" and the latest hunting situation in English, sent it to a number that existed only in her memory, and then quickly deleted it.
…
On a ship sailing on the Pacific Ocean, Xing Lingmin looked at the message sent from her mobile phone, pondered for a moment, added some of her own insights, re-edited it, and sent it to Shen Jin.
