Before the doomsday, I owned an amazing caravan

Chapter 105 Source Core

…

Time flies by so fast, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. However, in this month, a lot of big and small things happened inside and outside the base, and all kinds of true and false news flew everywhere.

This is really not an easy month. People in the base are in panic during this period.

First of all, the weather today is much colder than a month ago, with the lowest temperature even reaching almost 70 degrees below zero.

On such a cold day, it's okay for those with supernatural powers. After awakening their powers, their body's resistance in all aspects has improved a lot, so going out is not a problem. But for ordinary survivors who have not awakened their powers, they have to go out at least as hard as those with supernatural powers.

If you can, wear an extra layer of thick clothing, and don't stay outside for too long.

The temperature dropping again is not the worst thing, the worst thing is the sun.

In the past, there were occasional brief periods when there were no snowstorms during the day. When you looked up at the sky, you could still see the outline of the sun as small as a lightbulb. But now, you can't even see the outline, and the sky is completely gray.

At the same time, the light during the day is getting darker and darker. Today's daytime is just like the past around five o'clock in the winter evening, foggy and gray, and the daytime is also getting shorter, and the night is gradually lengthening.

Everyone has fallen into a panic that without the sun, the earth will completely plunge into darkness.

In addition, I don't know if it is because of the prolonged night change, but mutant beasts have begun to harass humans frequently.

The mining team and the big truck out searching for survivors were the first to be attacked.

The mutated beasts will also ambush near the base, attack people and vehicles queuing up at the entrance of the base by surprise, and also attack the guards standing guard.

There are more and more mutant beasts wandering outside the base. I heard that the eastern area of ​​the base has organized several waves of clearing out the surrounding mutant beasts, but the situation seems not to be appreciable.

Mutated beasts are different from ordinary animals. Their IQ, physical fitness, etc. have been greatly improved. It is said that some have even evolved the same abilities as humans, making them very difficult to deal with.

Two days ago, the East Area of ​​the Base and the Underground West Area Research Center jointly released an important news.

The content probably says that a transparent spherical object was discovered in the evolved mutant beast. After research, superpowers can use their own powers to absorb this substance, which is very helpful in improving their superpowers and is not harmful to the superpowers themselves.

No negative effects.

This spherical object found in the body of an alien animal is named "source core".

It is no secret that abilities can be upgraded nowadays, and the base already has a preliminary set of standards for classifying abilities.

Because he often participates in the Southern District Communication Center for Superpowers and is summoned to the testing room from time to time, Zhao Xi knows a lot about the convenient information about superpowers.

Let’s talk about the level of abilities first, which are currently divided into eight levels. The first and second sections are divided in different ways.

The abilities of the second block mostly come from the mutations of the human body itself. Compared with the previous level, each doubling will increase the level. At present, the highest level of the base of the second block is a third-level power user. The first awakening of the superpower can

Instead of picking up a one-ton weight, you can now pick up a three-ton weight.

The first section is divided into abilities. Level 1, you can control your own abilities freely. Level 2, you can stably summon abilities within half an hour. Level 3, you can use your own abilities. Level 4, you need to use them continuously within an hour.

One's own superpower. Level 5 requires continuous use of one's own superpower within two hours.

And so on to level eight, which requires five hours of continuous use of one's own powers.

This classification standard is not completely accurate, but it is currently the easiest way to classify the standards.

Because with the exchange activities of superpowers and the base's research on superpowers, everyone has discovered that the use of superpowers is not endless. The longer the use time, the more exhausted a person's mental state will be. But after the superpowers are upgraded,

This feeling of fatigue will come on much more slowly.

Therefore, the current stable duration is used as an important criterion when judging ability upgrades.

Nowadays, the person with the highest level of superpower in the base in M ​​Province is said to have reached level four, and he is a first-tier metal superpower user.

It is said that he absorbed the energy of a "source core" and was upgraded to two levels. I don't know if the news is true.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, the fact that "Source Core" can enhance superpowers is definitely true.

In the past two days, many superpower users in the southern district are eager to try it out, and some bold ones have already planned to form a team to hunt strange beasts.

Today is the early stage of human beings awakening to supernatural powers. When it comes to understanding supernatural powers, they are all trying to cross the river by feeling the stones.

Before the news of the "Source Core" came out, everyone could only familiarize themselves with and improve their abilities through mutual communication and constant practice.

Some people have good talent or work hard, and their abilities will improve quickly. Some people have insufficient talent, lack of skills, or don't work hard enough, so their abilities will improve very slowly.

The strong want to become stronger, and the laggards are not willing to be outdone. Therefore, as soon as the news of the "Source Core" came out, it caused widespread discussion in the Southern District, a place where people with super powers are concentrated.

…

Since the last time the earthworm swarm invaded the base, the control of guns and ammunition in the base has been loosened, and special gun purchase points have been set up. Many survivors who can afford to buy will buy some for self-protection.

Zhao Xi was no exception. She bought two pistols, three automatic rifles, a sniper rifle and a lot of bullets and grenades.

In addition to what she bought herself, Minister Xu from the East District also asked her lover to give her two pistols that looked small and exquisite, but were actually powerful, and two boxes of special bullets.

However, as a child who grew up in a peaceful era and in a country that banned guns, Zhao Xi had never touched these things before. So in the past few weeks, she has basically been training at the newly developed superpower in the southern district.

Center, shooting area to practice marksmanship.

After a period of time, she is now a sharpshooter, not to mention a sharpshooter, but her hit rate is quite high. She also practiced with two brothers, Qin Xun and Fang Le, and all three of them practiced well.

"Hey, have you heard the latest news?"

Compared with Qin Xun's introversion, Fang Le is a carefree person who loves to make friends, and is commonly known as the "social cow".

While taking a break from gun practice that day, Fang Le went to the bathroom and brought back the latest news.

"Nowadays, alien beasts are rampant outside the base. The base officials encourage people with supernatural powers to go out and hunt alien beasts. For safety reasons, the Eastern District Military has organized several groups of soldiers to lead the team. Those with supernatural powers who want to go can now go to the supernatural person to communicate.

Sign up on the second floor of the activity center. The departure time is early the day after tomorrow. I just heard what the guy said. The general news is this, but I don’t know the details. But the announcement is posted on the bulletin board in the lobby on the first floor of the supernatural activity center. After we practice

I'm passing by on my way home, so I can take a look."

There are quite a few centers for exchanges and activities for people with superpowers today. It is already noon and there are still people coming and going, especially the bulletin board on the first floor, which is still surrounded by water.

Zhao Xi, Qin Xun, and Fang Le spent a long time and finally squeezed in from the outside.

The content of the announcement was similar to what Fang Le said, but there were some details that Fang Le did not mention.
