Chapter 2 System Appearance
After Roger described the situation outside, there was a deathly silence in the field, and then there was an uproar.
But because of Roger's presence, the uproar was somewhat suppressed, and finally turned into the whispers of the crowd.
As a traverser who knew nothing, Lin Xinghai certainly pricked up his ears and eavesdropped on the conversations of these people in order to obtain more information.
Soon he knew that the numbered shelters like Shelter No. 83 were all small shelters, and they did not have much combat power as a whole.
And the ones with names like the Star Shield Shelter they were going to were medium-sized shelters.
Medium-sized shelters were not only larger, but also had more complete internal facilities, and even had troops stationed there.
It was precisely because of this that they could monitor the outside world and understand so many things.
However, Lin Xinghai only overheard this basic information, and more of it was just some messy speculation.
Using the information in his hands, he began to think about the way out.
As Roger said, they are now really a group of "white pigs" with no fighting power. They can only be slaughtered by others. It is estimated that they will not be much better if they go to the Star Shield Shelter.
He is considering whether to accept Roger's invitation and join the other party's mercenary group.
Although Lin Xinghai is not clear about what kind of organization a mercenary group is, mercenaries can obviously carry guns. If he accepts the other party's invitation...
Wait, what did the other party say when they first met? Invite me to be cannon fodder?
But he believes that if he goes to the other party's mercenary group, he will not really be used as cannon fodder.
Because it was his B-level gene assessment that attracted the other party to send an invitation.
But now he still knows too little information. How much training value does a B-level gene assessment have? Is the other party's training method dangerous? He knows nothing about these things.
"I still have to wait and find an opportunity to get the other party to say something." Lin Xinghai silently made a decision in his heart.
At this time, the troop carrier they were riding in seemed to start, and along with the sound of the engine, there was a slight tremor in the body of the car.
At the same time, the thick alloy walls around the car also opened a series of "small windows". These small windows were narrow and long, and should be shooting holes.
The shooting holes were a bit narrow, but they were enough for the people in the car to see the situation outside clearly.
There were at least more than 100 troop carriers parked outside.
In addition, there were more than 10 special vehicles.
Lin Xinghai squinted slightly and looked at them. According to his guess, those were most likely armored vehicles, and the fully armed people inside should be real soldiers.
His eyes continued to move outward. From his angle, he could see the whole picture of Shelter No. 83. This was a building similar to a bird's nest.
Wait, something seemed wrong... Why is this shelter so empty?
Then the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. In the distance, there was a large machine cutting the alloy outer wall of the shelter, and the exposed rock wall could be seen there.
No wonder the shelter was so empty, because all the facilities had been demolished, and now even the walls and floors were not spared.
"In the end times, any resource is precious." Roger came to his side without knowing when, and suddenly said something.
Lin Xinghai was a little silent. The world outside seemed to be more cruel than he had imagined.
...
But he didn't have time to sigh, because the start of the vehicle meant that they were going to leave. One by one, the troop carriers lined up and drove out of the shelter.
After a while, it was their turn to pass. As the vehicle drove, the observation angle changed, and Lin Xinghai finally knew how these people got into this underground shelter.
The other party actually used large-scale engineering equipment to forcibly open up a road that goes directly underground.
Well! It's a road, not a tunnel, because it's too big.
How to describe it?
Six lanes in both directions!
It's so spacious, Lin Xinghai can only sigh at the rapid development of technology.
After only two or three minutes, the vehicle reached the surface.
...
The environment on the surface can only be described in two words: desolate!
Looking around, there were only dilapidated and collapsed buildings, no green at all, no living creatures, and even the sky was gray.
The cold wind poured into the car, and Lin Xinghai felt a little cold. Is this the earth after the disaster?
The other people in the car were even more unbearable. Many people cried directly, and the hope in their eyes turned directly into despair.
After the convoy arrived on the ground, they formed a defensive formation and waited in place for another half an hour.
It was not until those huge engineering machinery pulled up a carload of alloy steel that the final finishing work was completed.
The convoy officially drove to the Star Shield Shelter.
...
Roar!
After driving for only more than 10 minutes, everyone vaguely heard a roar like a beast, but this sound was more creepy than that of a beast.
"Could it be... the roar of a zombie?" Lin Xinghai immediately had a guess in his mind.
The roars were getting closer and closer to the convoy, and the sound was getting louder and louder, as if they were connected. If they were really zombies, then there would definitely be a lot of them, definitely more than a hundred.
When these sounds approached a certain distance, they were immediately covered by a series of machine gun sounds. The gunshots lasted for about half a minute, and when the gunshots stopped, the roars also disappeared.
"Is it solved?" someone asked in a low voice.
"Yeah! Solved." Roger nodded, with an inexplicable smile on his face, "White pigs, it's time to teach you the first lesson."
"What first lesson?" Seeing Roger's inexplicable smile, many people felt something was wrong.
But Roger did not answer this. The troop carrier continued to move forward and soon arrived at the place where the firefight had just taken place.
Before they could see the situation outside clearly, the car stopped and the rear door opened.
Not only them, but also the troop carriers that came later.
Then one by one, the members of the shelter were brought down.
"Next, I will take you there. Everyone has to touch the zombies. This is the content of Lesson 1." Roger pointed to a pile of corpses not far away and said.
In terms of appearance, zombies and humans are not much different, except that their skin is a little pale, and their teeth and nails are particularly long.
So when everyone looked in the direction Roger pointed and saw the bloody corpses, many people vomited on the spot.
Especially the women in the field, they vomited a lot. After vomiting, they retreated with pale faces and didn't even want to look at that direction.
"Everyone, line up and touch the zombies, otherwise. Hey! Then stay here and keep company with these corpses!" Roger's voice sounded again. At this moment, many people felt that this was the whisper of the devil.
Lin Xinghai's face was not good either, but he knew that he was the fish and he was the butcher. So he could only line up obediently and follow the team to the nearest corpse.
This corpse was still relatively intact, with only a small hole on the forehead, which should have been shot directly through the head. But what
made him feel strange was that there was a wound on the back of the zombie's head.
He also found that not only the zombie in front of him, but also the zombies around him had a wound on the back of their heads. "Finishing the attack? But why cut the back of the head?" Out of curiosity, and also to complete the task of "Lesson 1", Lin Xinghai reached out his hand and touched the wound. "Ding! Blood energy detected, do you want to absorb it?"
Chapter 3 Strength Improvement
Lin Xinghai's arms trembled, not because of fear or nervousness, but because of excitement.
He was also a person with a system.
At this time, a translucent light and shadow screen appeared in front of him, on which the option of absorbing blood energy appeared.
Is this still necessary to consider?
He immediately chose yes!
The next moment, Lin Xinghai felt a strange feeling coming from his arm, as if some kind of energy entered his body through his arm.
At the same time, he also found that the wound on the back of the zombie's head, which was originally bleeding, had dried up directly.
Not only the wound, but the zombie's skin also turned pale, as if all the blood in the body had been drained.
"This!" Lin Xinghai was startled. He pinched the flesh and blood at the wound with his hand, and really couldn't squeeze out a drop of blood.
"This blood energy, can't it be the blood in the zombie's body!" He had a guess in his heart, and at the same time, he looked around calmly.
Fortunately, no one paid attention to his situation here. After all, the zombie's wound had appeared for a while, and it was normal to stop bleeding now.
Moreover, the skin of zombies is pale, so if it is a little whiter, it will not be noticed unless you look closely.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for absorbing 1 point of blood energy. Open the attribute panel function and start the main task."
As the system prompt sounded, the dialog box in front of Lin Xinghai turned into an attribute panel.
Host: Lin Xinghai
Constitution: 7 points
Strength: 7 points
Speed: 9 points
Blood energy: 1 point
Genetic optimization degree: 9%
"Could it be that I am a speed type player?" Looking at his attribute panel, Lin Xinghai muttered.
However, there was no one for him to refer to, and he didn't know whether his basic attributes were good or bad.
So after glancing at the attribute panel, he looked at the task bar below.
Main task: Please ask the host to collect 10 points of blood energy.
Note: Blood energy is the foundation of improving strength, the more the better.
Reward: Open the exploration function.
Task progress: 1/10.
After reading the task, Lin Xinghai couldn't help but show a happy expression. If he wanted to complete such a task under normal circumstances, it would probably not be easy.
But now here, zombie corpses are everywhere!
He did it as soon as he thought of it. He stood up calmly and walked towards a zombie corpse not far away.
This time he studied it and found that if he touched other parts of the zombie, the system would not react.
Only when he touched the bleeding wound would the system prompt pop up.
"It seems that it can be confirmed that even if the blood power is not equal to blood, it must come from blood."
Opening the attribute panel, the task progress: 2/10.
Lin Xinghai was immediately full of energy and soon touched 5 more zombies. At this time, the task progress had reached 7/10.
As long as he touched 3 more zombies, the main task would be completed.
But what he didn't know was that Roger had been secretly observing him.
The content of this "First Lesson" not only gave the members of the shelter a warning, but also tested their courage. For
an organization like the mercenary group that needs to fight zombies, the courage test is the top priority.
Roger originally intended to recruit Lin Xinghai, and of course he had to observe his courage carefully.
So, when he saw Lin Xinghai voluntarily queuing up to touch the zombies, Roger couldn't help but nod secretly.
However, when Lin Xinghai took the initiative to touch the second zombie, the expression on his face became subtle.
But Roger didn't expect that this was just the beginning.
Lin Xinghai then went to touch the zombies around him one after another. The more zombies he touched, the more interesting the expression on Roger's face became. "This man can't be a necrophiliac!"
When Lin Xinghai touched the seventh zombie, Roger couldn't help but walked over. "What are you doing?"
Seeing Roger suddenly blocking his way, Lin Xinghai was shocked.
However, he had expected that his abnormal behavior would be noticed by someone, so he said the reason without changing his face.
"I'm a little surprised. These zombies were obviously killed by bullets through their heads, but why did they have to cut open the back of their heads afterwards?"
The strange expression on Roger's face suddenly turned into surprise. It was good enough to keep a normal mind when touching zombies for the first time.
But Lin Xinghai not only found the abnormal place, but also took the initiative to seek the answer.
At this moment, Lin Xinghai's importance in Roger's heart instantly rose to a higher level.
"Very good! If you want to survive in the apocalypse, your insight is indispensable. As for why you have to cut open the back of the zombie's head, I can also tell you the reason, that is..."
"Don't tell me." Lin Xinghai interrupted hurriedly: "I want to find the answer myself."
What a joke, you tell me the answer, what reason do I have to continue to touch the corpse?
Roger hesitated slightly, showing a look of approval, "You are really better than I thought."
Seeing that this level was passed, Lin Xinghai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked to the next corpse.
Soon, he touched 3 more zombies. When the task progress reached 10/10, the system sound sounded again.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the main task, the exploration function has been opened. Another 10 exploration times will be awarded."
Lin Xinghai hurriedly opened the attribute panel and found that there was an additional exploration skill behind the character attributes.
Detection: Consumes blood and energy to detect the target's attributes. The higher the target's strength, the more blood and energy it consumes. Note: No blood and energy is consumed in the first 10 detections.
In addition to the addition of a detection technique, the main task has also changed.
Main task: Kill 100 zombies.
Note: Taking shortcuts is only temporary. If you want to obtain blood and energy, you still need to rely on your own strength.
Reward: None.
Seeing the reward for this task, a black line suddenly appeared on Lin Xinghai's forehead. What the hell is the reward "none"?
Since there is no reward, why should he complete this task?
However, he found out painfully that he had to do this task because he would definitely face zombies.
And if he didn't complete this task, the main task behind it would not be updated. This is the most pitfall.
He was feeling depressed when he suddenly found that there was another change on the attribute panel.
Genetic optimization degree: 9%+
Yes! There is an additional + sign after 9%.
Lin Xinghai clicked it immediately.
"Do you want to consume 1 point of blood energy to improve the degree of genetic optimization?"
Lin Xinghai's heart skipped a beat and he quickly chose yes!
The next moment, a warm current appeared out of thin air, spreading to his entire body, making him extremely comfortable.
However, he had no time to enjoy this feeling and immediately looked at the attribute panel.
Host: Lin Xinghai
Constitution: 8 points Strength: 7 points Speed: 10 points Blood energy: 9 points Genetic optimization degree: 10%+ Lin Xinghai's face suddenly showed joy, the degree of genetic optimization increased by 1%, and both physique and speed increased by 1 point. "This blood energy is indeed the root of improving strength!" Having found a way to improve strength, Lin Xinghai did not hesitate and immediately added all the remaining blood energy to genetic optimization. The warm current that appeared this time was even more terrifying, as if a fire was burning in his body, but he could also clearly feel that his body was strengthening at a terrifying speed. The attribute panel in front of him changed again. Host: Lin XinghaiPhysique : 15 pointsStrength : 13 pointsSpeed: 19 pointsBlood Force: 0 pointsGene optimization degree: 19%+ Blood Force is cleared, the gene optimization degree is increased from the initial 9% to 19%, at the same time, various attributes have also been greatly improved.Looking at the three attributes, the different improvement rates, Lin Xinghai's face showed a thoughtful look.
Chapter 4 Joining the Mercenary Group
The different increases in the three attributes made Lin Xinghai have many guesses in his mind, but he didn't have time to study now.
Because many people had already started to return to the troop carrier after touching the zombies.
The time left for him to collect blood energy was running out.
Putting away the attribute panel, Lin Xinghai quickly rushed to the next zombie corpse. When he ran, he immediately felt something different.
"My speed has increased too much!"
He could easily run at the speed of his previous full sprint, and even worried about being targeted by someone, he didn't dare to run at full speed.
The increase in speed also allowed Lin Xinghai to collect blood energy faster, and finally collected 13 points of blood energy.
At this time, there were only a few people left here, so in order not to attract other people's attention, he could only return to the troop carrier.
...
"How is it? Have you found the reason?" As soon as Lin Xinghai sat down, Roger sat next to him and asked.
"I have some guesses." Lin Xinghai said after a brief pause: "The wound on the back of the head should not be a finishing blow, because the wound is not deep, and more importantly, the wound was cut, not stabbed directly, which does not seem reasonable."
"Of course, the most important thing is that I restored the skin and flesh and found that there seemed to be a piece of flesh missing."
"If I am not mistaken, there should be something on the back of the heads of these zombies, and then it was taken away."
After Lin Xinghai finished speaking, he looked at Roger. He was not talking nonsense, but really observed carefully.
The surprise on Roger's face flashed away, and he nodded, "Yes, it is Yuanjing, a crystal containing special energy."
After a slight silence, Roger continued: "Now you have seen the situation outside, and you have already understood the situation of the end of the world. Let me ask you again, are you willing to join my mercenary group?"
"Can I ask, what benefits will there be after joining the mercenary group?" Lin Xinghai asked.
Seeing that Lin Xinghai was finally interested, Luo Jie smiled and said, "There are too many people here, let's find a place with fewer people to chat."
Lin Xinghai looked around, and everyone pricked up their ears and glanced at them from time to time. This was indeed not a suitable place for conversation.
But the question is, where is there a place with fewer people on the car?
However, Luo Jie had already stood up when he spoke, so he could only hurry to catch up.
Coming to the place near the front of the car, Luo Jie knocked on the alloy steel plate twice.
Creak!
The alloy steel plate that was originally tightly closed, under the action of the pneumatic device, slowly opened, revealing a small door, which could actually lead directly to the cab.
Following Luo Jie, he bent down and walked in, and Lin Xinghai found that the space in the cab was quite large, more than enough to accommodate five or six people.
After Luo Jie greeted the soldier driving the troop carrier, he and Lin Xinghai sat down in the corner.
"Let me introduce you first. Our mercenary group is called the Sky-Splitting Mercenary Group. It is a first-class mercenary group registered with the Mercenary Guild. It is in the middle of the hundreds of mercenary groups in the shelter." "
With your B-level gene assessment, you can get 100 points as a reward for joining our mercenary group in one week."
"Points?" Lin Xinghai interrupted and asked.
Roger explained, "Points are equivalent to currency. Everything in the shelter can be purchased with points. The reward of 100 points a week is definitely higher than any normal job."
"And this is only temporary. If you can become a gene optimizer, the reward for one week will be at least 150 points."
"Gene optimizer?" Lin Xinghai's heart skipped a beat. He felt that this had a lot to do with the degree of gene optimization in the system panel.
"Hmm!" Roger seemed to have known that Lin Xinghai would ask this question, and immediately explained: "This starts with our genetic engineering. Since the 20th century, humans have never stopped studying their own genes, but there have been no major breakthroughs in more than 200 years until the emergence of Yuan Crystal."
"There is a special energy inside the Yuan Crystal. Although we cannot absorb this energy directly, after special processing, we can make it into a genetic medicine to optimize the genes in our bodies."
"When the degree of human gene optimization reaches 30%, it will be like breaking through a shackle, and the strength will be greatly improved. There is even a small probability that some special abilities will appear."
"So we also call people with a gene optimization degree of more than 30% gene optimizers."
"If you join our Lietian Mercenary Group, we will give you a certain amount of genetic medicine every week according to your talent, to help you become a genetic optimizer as soon as possible."
After listening to Roger's explanation, Lin Xinghai's pupils shrank slightly, but he was soon relieved, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
With the system, he has now reached 19% of genetic optimization.
What's more, he still has 13 points of blood and energy that have not been used. If he wants to become a genetic optimizer, it will take only a few minutes!
However, since his strength has improved so quickly, he must have some concealment. So joining the Lietian Mercenary Group is undoubtedly a good choice.
"If I choose to join your mercenary group, how do you plan to train me? Especially genetic medicine, how much share can I get every week?" Lin Xinghai asked.
Although he has a system, genetic medicine sounds like a good thing, so of course he should fight for more for himself.
Seeing that Lin Xinghai was finally moved, Roger smiled and said, "3 bottles, I can get you 3 bottles of gene medicine every week."
"3 bottles is so little? With my B-level gene assessment, I should have at least 20 or 30 bottles, right?" Lin Xinghai immediately asked for a sky-high price.
As soon as he said this, Roger's face suddenly darkened, and even the soldier who had been concentrating on driving looked at Lin Xinghai with a strange expression.
"Do you know how many bottles of gene medicine a new member who has just joined the mercenary group can get in a week? 1 bottle!"
"Even formal members of the mercenary group can only get 2 bottles a week."
"Even with my strength, plus the captain's position subsidy, I can only get 6 bottles of gene medicine a week."
"You still want 20 or 30 bottles. I have to be shameless and apply to the leader to give you 3 bottles." Roger said with strong resentment.
Lin Xinghai was shocked when he heard this. If this is the case, then the treatment given to him by the Lietian Mercenary Group seems to be too high!
His heart moved slightly, he called up the system panel, and then used the detection technique on Roger.
Name: Roger
Constitution: 50
Strength: 65
Speed: 43
Superpower: Huge Strength (Increase strength by 30% within three seconds)
Genetic optimization degree: 65%
"This strength is much higher than I guessed! And even the superpower has awakened. But with such strength, the opponent can only allocate 6 bottles of gene medicine per week, which can only mean." Thinking of this, Lin Xinghai's mouth curled up slightly.
"Captain Luo, your gene assessment should not be B-level, right?"
Roger's angry expression stagnated slightly.
After getting the answer from the other party's face, Lin Xinghai continued: "Then my B-level gene assessment should be of great value in cultivation! If I spread it out, then other mercenary groups..." Lin Xinghai
did not continue to speak, but just smiled at Roger.
"For talents with B-level gene assessment, you can choose to come to the military. It is safer than joining the mercenary group, and you can also get three bottles of gene medicine every week." The soldier who had been driving silently suddenly spoke.
Roger's face turned even darker. If he had known this, he would have stayed in the car and talked to Lin Xinghai.
"Four bottles of gene potion a week, this is my limit. In addition, I have another request. Within a month, your strength improvement speed must match your talent."
"Otherwise, a maximum of three bottles of gene potion a week." Roger had to make new conditions.
"Okay! But if the speed at which I improve my strength exceeds your imagination, what about the gene potion?" Lin Xinghai said with a smile.
Roger narrowed his eyes slightly, but thinking of Lin Xinghai's attitude towards touching the zombies before, he suddenly laughed, "What a courage, I hope you are not just talking, if that kind of thing really happens, our Lietian Mercenary Group will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Chapter 5 Arrival at the Star Shield Shelter
After confirming that he had joined the Lietian Mercenary Group, Lin Xinghai talked with Roger for a while and then returned to the back of the car.
Although the conversation between the two was short, it was enough for Lin Xinghai to have a general understanding of the Lietian Mercenary Group.
There are 35 people in the Lietian Mercenary Group, and the positions are also very simple. There are the leader, the deputy leader, and then three captains, and Roger is one of them.
It can be said that there are only two people above Roger.
This is also the reason why Roger dared to say that he was protecting Lin Xinghai when he first met and invited him. He really has such confidence.
For such a situation, Lin Xinghai is of course happy. With Roger, at least there will be no dog-blood things like being difficult by old members.
Sitting back in his seat, Lin Xinghai found that the people in the car looked at him with strange eyes.
But it was normal to think about it. After taking the "First Lesson", these people have more or less understood the cruelty of the end of the world.
It is estimated that they are now worried, afraid and other negative emotions, worrying about the future.
But as a member of Shelter No. 83, Lin Xinghai had established a relationship with the mercenaries in the blink of an eye. How could these people not have some thoughts in their minds?
Especially some women in the car, they had other thoughts and secretly flirted with Lin Xinghai.
But Lin Xinghai completely ignored the passionate or inquiring eyes of the crowd, and closed his eyes to rest after sitting down.
Of course, in fact, he was checking the system panel.
Looking at his panel data and recalling Roger's data, he was almost certain that everyone's attributes were biased.
He was biased towards speed, while Roger was biased towards strength.
He was not sure which of these attribute biases was better or worse. But it was right to improve his gene optimization level, anyway, it could be improved overall.
Thinking of this, he clicked the + sign behind the gene optimization level.
With the deduction of 1 point of blood and energy, a special energy once again spread to his limbs and bones, making him feel very comfortable, as if the whole person was about to sublimate.
He had plenty of time now, and he slowly clicked the + sign again until this sense of comfort completely disappeared.
"Ding! Do you want to spend 2 points of blood energy to improve the degree of gene optimization?"
Looking at the system prompt that popped up, Lin Xinghai's face suddenly changed.
"Why did the blood energy consumed suddenly increase?" His face was not very good, because this meant that the plan to directly become a gene optimizer was shattered.
And he thought more, whether as the degree of gene optimization increased, the blood energy consumed would increase in the future?
"Alas~ It seems that even with the system, it is not so easy to improve strength." Lin Xinghai sighed in his heart.
Of course, if his words were heard by other gene optimizers, they would probably want to beat him to death.
Generally speaking, people with a genetic assessment of D or E can't even think about becoming a gene optimizer for a year or two.
Lin Xinghai used up all the remaining 12 points of blood energy, and the degree of gene optimization increased to 26%.
Host: Lin Xinghai
Constitution: 21 points
Strength: 18 points
Speed: 26 points
Blood power: 0
pointsGene optimization degree: 26%
"My strength attribute is the weakest, so will my attack power be very weak?" Looking at his attribute panel, Lin Xinghai couldn't help muttering.
Of course, this is not something he can change. After turning off the panel system, he really closed his eyes and rested.
...
The convoy moved forward quickly. Lin Xinghai thought that the journey would end soon, but he didn't expect it to take five hours.
On the way, he encountered dozens of zombies of all sizes. Unfortunately, after the convoy solved the zombies, it continued to move forward without any intention of stopping.
This made Lin Xinghai very regretful, otherwise he could have gained a lot of blood power.
Finally, the convoy came to the foot of a bare mountain, and then lifted the defense formation and drove into the tunnel along the highway.
The walls inside the tunnel are all made of alloy, and every 50 meters in the tunnel, there is a bunker as a defensive fortification.
The entire tunnel is no more than 200 meters long, and at the end of the tunnel, there is a one-meter thick alloy door.
Entering the door, there is a rectangular hall with dozens of elevators arranged around the hall.
These elevators are large and small, and even the smallest one can accommodate 30 people at a time.
As for the largest elevator, it is like entering an alloy house of hundreds of square meters after walking in, which really opened Lin Xinghai's eyes.
This super-large elevator can even transport three troop carriers at a time.
The elevator went straight to 300 meters underground before stopping. This is the real location of the Star Shield Shelter.
"No wonder humans can survive safely in this environment of the end of the world." Standing on the alloy ground, Lin Xinghai couldn't help muttering.
"Take these things first. I will report the matter of joining the group later. I will come to you again after it is handled properly." Roger said, and handed over a bag.
Lin Xinghai took it and took a look inside. There were not many things in it, 4 bottles of light green medicine and a badge.
"What is this?" Although Lin Xinghai had some guesses in his heart, he couldn't help asking.
"I'll pay you four bottles of gene potion first. That's the badge of our mercenary group. You can show it directly if you encounter any problems. In the lower area, few people dare to mess with a mercenary."
"Okay, I'm leaving first. Don't be lazy. Try to become a gene optimizer and enter the middle area as soon as possible." Roger said, patting Lin Xinghai on the shoulder, and then turned away.
Holding the bag in his hand, Lin Xinghai felt a little warm in his heart.
If he followed the normal process, he would join the mercenary group first, then pass the test, and then distribute the gene potion, then he would have to wait at least two or three days.
And the gene potion, of course, the sooner it is taken, the better, after all, it takes time to
absorb the gene potion. "According to Roger's description, with my B-level gene assessment, coupled with high-intensity training, I can absorb a bottle of gene potion within two days. In this way, I should be able to become a gene optimizer before carrying out the first mercenary mission." Lin Xinghai smiled.
The time to absorb gene potion is different for everyone.
The higher the gene assessment level, the faster the gene medicine is absorbed, and the better the absorption effect. In addition, high-intensity training can also speed up this process.
Lin Xinghai put away the bag and followed the crowd to the gathering point.
Chapter 6 Beautiful Roommate?
In the process of entering the shelter, Roger told Lin Xinghai a lot of things, in addition to the gene potion, there was also general information about the shelter.
The entire Star Shield Shelter is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower, but most people can only live in the lower area.
If you want to live in the middle area, you must become a gene optimizer.
As for the upper area, it is where the management of the shelter and the strong live. People
like them who have just been rescued can only stay in the lower area.
At this time, the administrator of the lower area has arrived and taken over the work of the army. Under the call of the security team, everyone got off the car and lined up in columns, and then followed forward.
The area of the lower area is about 200,000 square meters, but according to Roger's description, there are also many people living here, more than 150,000, so the population is not ordinary dense.
And as he moved forward, Lin Xinghai found that this lower area was even worse than Roger described.
There was no planning, the streets were crisscrossed, and the houses were crowded together to save space, which gave people a messy feeling.
More than 80% of the pedestrians on the street were pale and thin, and their clothes were quite dirty. If you approached them, you could smell a foul odor. They probably hadn't taken a shower for many days.
"This is just like a refugee area." Lin Xinghai couldn't help but sigh.
But he also understood that there was nothing he could do about it. It was ultimately a problem of scarce resources.
Considering the desolate scene outside the surface, it was a miracle that the Star Shield Shelter could still support so many people.
After about 15 minutes of marching, the team stopped. What appeared in front of everyone was a dilapidated building.
At this time, some residents were carrying their luggage and coming out of these buildings. Most of these people had numb eyes, and then left in a hurry under the shouting of the patrol team.
At this time, an administrator in front of the team walked up to the steps with a megaphone and said loudly: "Hello everyone, let me introduce myself first. My name is Ji Yuan. As you can see, this area is temporarily vacated for you to live in."
There was a commotion in the field, because these buildings are not ordinary shabby, and many places on the surface of the outer wall have fallen off. They all doubted whether people can still live here.
So some people began to protest. At first, there were only a few people protesting, but gradually it became louder and louder.
Ji Yuan stood on the steps with a smile on his face. He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued: "You think the appearance of these buildings is shabby, right? Don't worry, the interior of the building... will only be more shabby."
Wow!
The commotion immediately escalated into an uproar, and many people doubted whether they had heard it wrong.
The interior will only be more shabby? And let us rest assured?
Listen, is this still human language?
Ji Yuan seemed to be completely oblivious to the reactions of the crowd, and even the smile on his face did not change. "I know you must have a lot to say in your hearts, but please listen to me first."
He cleared his throat and suddenly roared, "You can stay here if you want, or get out if you don't."
The audience was silent.
At this time, Ji Yuan's smile had completely disappeared, replaced by seriousness, "The resources here in the shelter are limited, and we don't support idlers and waste. If you want to eat and live well, then you should show your abilities and earn points, and then you can move out of here."
After he finished speaking, he gestured to the side, and immediately a staff member came out and distributed a piece of paper with content written on it.
"Let's not waste time. What I want to tell you is written on this paper. You can take a look at it when you have time."
"These buildings behind me are all collective dormitories for 6 people. You can find someone you know to live with now. If you can't find anyone, we will make arrangements later. Now, I will give you 10 minutes." After Ji Yuan finished speaking, he looked at the time on his watch and stood quietly.
Ji Yuan didn't say much, but each sentence contained a huge amount of information, which made many people confused.
But these people had to take action. The current situation was bad enough. If they were arranged to live with strangers, they couldn't imagine it.
At this time, Lin Xinghai seemed to be an outsider. He stood there with his hands in his pockets calmly.
The Lietian Mercenary Group would arrange accommodation for formal members, and it was still in the middle-level area. However, the only trouble was that they needed to become gene optimizers to live in the middle-level area.
Becoming a gene optimizer was a luxury for many people. But for Lin Xinghai, it would only take a day or two.
So he looked around a little bored, waiting for the time to end, and then he would be assigned a dormitory.
"Ah! Lin Xinghai, I finally found you." A cry of surprise sounded from the side. When he turned his head and looked, he saw a beautiful woman with beautiful eyes staring at him without blinking.
"Uh..." Lin Xinghai didn't react a little, and at the same time he found that he had overlooked a very serious problem.
That is, although he had traveled through time, he did not inherit the memory of this body. Now he didn't even know the name of the beautiful woman in front of him.
Before Lin Xinghai could figure out how to respond, his hand was pulled by the other party, "Follow me!"
"Fuck! Are all women in this era so proactive?" Lin Xinghai couldn't help but complain in his heart.
But the other party's hand was really white and soft!
Lin Xinghai shook his head to make himself sober. Now was not the time to think about these things. He had to think about how to deal with this beauty without revealing any flaws.
Many thoughts circled in his mind, and then were denied one by one. In the end, Lin Xinghai decided to pretend to have amnesia.
Just as he was thinking about how to speak properly, the beauty who was pulling him suddenly stopped.
"I found the last roommate!" The beauty pulled Lin Xinghai to a group of people and announced loudly.
In an instant, whether it was Lin Xinghai or the four people in front of him, they were all stunned.
Because these people were all women, and they were young and beautiful women.
"Liu Miaomiao, are you crazy? Why did you find a man to come back?" After a moment of silence in the atmosphere, the most popular beauty was the first to exclaim.
She immediately pulled Liu Miaomiao aside, and the others followed quickly, leaving Lin Xinghai standing there awkwardly.
Although he was standing there, his genetic optimization had reached 26%, and he had improved a lot in many aspects of his body, including his hearing, so he could vaguely hear the conversation of several women not far away.
"Wang Yao, don't get excited." Liu Miaomiao looked at the companions beside her and said seriously: "We have carefully considered bringing him back. Think about it, this is not the peaceful era before. We are a few beautiful women together. What if we are targeted by people with bad intentions?"
"So for the sake of safety, the best way is of course to hire a 'bodyguard'!"
"Bodyguard, him?" Wang Yao's voice was full of doubt.
"He doesn't seem to be very strong, but when he was a freshman, he won the provincial 'Sanda' championship. It would be easy to knock down four or five ordinary people." Liu Miaomiao said.
"Even if what you said is true, aren't you afraid of inviting wolves into the house?" Wang Yao asked another question.
"Don't worry, he is just a piece of wood. He used to be a famous figure in our class. Many girls wanted to be with him, and some of them were as good-looking as me, but he was indifferent. There are even rumors that he has sexual orientation problems."
"So you can rest assured!" Liu Miaomiao patted her chest and assured.
Lin Xinghai, who was not far away, overheard this and his face darkened instantly.
