Infinite Disaster Survival

After taking them back, Wen Zheng drove away quickly and met up with the grandparents at the designated location. He briefly told them what he had done during the time he was away to reassure them. Wen Zheng then suggested that he needed to stay quietly for a while because his superpowers needed to be upgraded to avoid their worries.

Can superpowers be upgraded? The old people immediately gave Wen Zheng the place they had cleared to rest. They were a little worried about whether there would be any discomfort from the upgrade and wanted to stay inside to take care of Wen Zheng, but in the end they were persuaded by Wen Zheng to leave.

When the superpowers were first activated, the body was burning hot and fell into a coma. This time the superpower upgrade was not so uncomfortable. Wen Zheng remained awake throughout the whole process and clearly felt the energy of the fire crystal core in his hand, flowing through the body with warm but not scorching heat, and finally gathered into the brain. The feeling of having enough energy in the body was particularly comfortable, making people a little addicted.

During this period of continuous consumption and reabsorption, the energy core, which was originally the size of a peanut, continued to increase in size and now became the size of a grape. The energy that was continuously supplied poured into the energy core, and the volume of the energy core no longer increased, but reached a critical point at a certain moment. There was a slight sound in the brain, and the energy core in the brain suddenly cracked into tiny fragments, and then it kept rotating and merging, and finally stabilized, forming a new peanut-sized energy core, but compared with the original energy core, the color became much darker.

After the upgrade process was over, Wen Zheng first looked at the mechanical watch he had collected on his hand. The time on it was six hours since he just came in, and it was late at night.

Wen Zheng did not check the improvement of his strength after the upgrade of his superpowers immediately, but tidied his clothes and gently opened the door. Although there was no sound, the family members waiting outside still looked over immediately. Wen Zheng felt the same warmth as when the superpowers were upgraded. This warmth from the heart was even deeper, making him smile brightly: "The upgrade went smoothly, everyone rest assured."

After this sentence came out, the grandparents who were holding back their sleepiness stopped forcing themselves to sleep and fell asleep at ease. Wen Zheng sat beside them to keep watch, and took this time to study the changes in superpowers after the upgrade.

After the superpower is upgraded, it is easier to use and consumes less energy. Both the control and power have been improved. It is no longer so difficult to control the turning of the fire arrow. Even if it is an ordinary fireball, the temperature and destructive power are much stronger than before.

The elderly rested well for a night. When they woke up, Yueyue had already gotten up and pestered Wen Zheng to watch the changes in the superpower. Hearing the movement inside, Wen Zheng brought Yueyue in and patiently told the elderly about these changes and took the zombies outside as a demonstration. The improvement of teammates' strength often has a deeper motivational effect, especially when facing powerful enemies, the elderly absorb energy more attentively.

Their upgrade speed cannot be compared with Wen Zheng, but they are very hard-working. Even the second-level superpower zombies can't do anything to them. Wen Zheng is more assured of the safety of the elderly. In addition to visiting Wu Xi's team every few days to guide their combat capabilities, he also found an opportunity to go back to the community to see that there is no sign of the zombies around being eliminated, and the marks left in the community have not been triggered.

The leader of the base did not send anyone to investigate, which was a bit unexpected and a bit natural.

After confirming that the community had not been inspected, Wen Zheng still did not take the elderly home, but instead took time to explore around the base. He was curious whether the current situation in the base had changed.

However, after they ran out last time, the management of the base seemed to have become more stringent. Wen Zheng even saw that the number of staff at the gate of the base doubled, and each of them was equipped with weapons. The moat built when they came last time has been built, and the city wall has even been thickened and widened.

Wen Zheng could not go out and could only observe the teams coming out of the inside. They were basically official teams sent by the base. The military green color showed their identity, but the members inside had been trained before the end of the world, and some were absorbed after the end of the world.

Different teams have different destinations every time they go out. Combined with Wu Xi's description of the base arrangements they had learned before, they are mainly divided into cleaning teams, collection teams and exploration teams. The teams where the superpowers had "died" before were all the third type.

The process of investigation continued until someone in the family upgraded their abilities. This time, the first person to upgrade was little girl Yueyue. Perhaps because she was more talented, her mind was simpler and she was more willing to focus on cultivation. She became the second person to upgrade her abilities after Wen Zheng. In the next half month, Grandpa Bai and Grandpa Li also upgraded their abilities, and their strengths improved. Wen Zheng was relieved about their safety.

"Grandpa and grandma, I plan to go to the Northeast Base to investigate again."

As soon as Wen Zheng said this, the big guys who had just finished breakfast all looked up at him, their expressions were full of surprise and disapproval.

"How can this be possible? It's too dangerous. You can't go."

"We are all hiding from the base. If you run over there alone, you will be walking into a trap."

"What if they catch you?"

The elders basically disagreed, but Wen Zheng also had reasons to go out: "But we can't hide like this forever. Besides, we now know that the base uses superpowers for experiments. There must be many hidden dangers if the base is managed like this. If we let it go like this, and encounter a zombie wave in the future, I'm worried that if something goes wrong, many people may die."

Faced with Wen Zheng's words, the old people had to admit that what Wen Zheng said made sense, but their awareness was higher than Wen Zheng imagined. People of their generation were more selfless and more willing to sacrifice their lives for the country and the people. Several grandparents planned to go with Wen Zheng.

"Yueyue is so young that we can't take risks. Everyone is worried about her staying alone. At least a few grandparents should accompany her." Wen Zheng shook his head and lied helplessly, "I won't enter the base this time. I'll just look at the situation outside. I can go by myself."

After persuading the old people, Wen Zheng planned to come back within five days this time, and asked them to wait patiently and pay attention to their own safety.

Wen Zheng drove the vehicle across the blocked road ahead and changed another road to continue forward. The car he drove this time was a small vehicle that he had specially found. The outside of the car was first covered with a layer of mud, and then some green plants were put on it, which was enough to cover the sight of others in a short time.

In fact, what Wen Zheng said before departure was not a lie. He did not go to the base to check this time, but to a place near the base. Wen Zheng looked at a map of the city spread out in the car. This map was the latest revised version, and it marked a building that had just been built before the end of the world.

Following the road marked on the map, he came to the foot of a nearby deep mountain, surrounded by dense forests. Before the end of the world, few people came here, and after the end of the world, there were not many zombies.

Driving to a place where small cars could not pass, Wen Zheng could only park the car in a hidden place and get off on foot. The woods were full of weeds and various shrubs grew crookedly. Even ordinary people with convenient movements had some difficulty getting in, not to mention the zombies.

If Wen Zheng hadn't suspected that there was something wrong here, he would really want to find such a place to live. It was safer and more hidden than the base, but there was a disadvantage, that is, it was easy to be burned by fire.

The surrounding trees blocked the sunlight, and only a small part of the light could penetrate. The vision was dark. After the end of the world, there were not many animals and birds, which gave people a feeling of gloom. Walking in this way, people who didn't know probably couldn't imagine what buildings were inside.

Following the map, Wen Zheng walked in the same direction and walked through the woods for about 30 minutes. He climbed up a tree and looked around. He could vaguely see a corner of the building hidden in the trees.

At the same time, the system panel that had not been opened for a long time jumped out. Seeing the content inside, Wen Zheng raised a confident smile of successful prediction.

[Hidden task-finding the hidden research institute in the end of the world has been completed, and the reward points are 500. ]

Sure enough, Wen Zheng's exploration these days has not been in vain. The most important exploration result is this research institute hidden in the mountains. He suspects that those superpowers who were forced to die did not secretly return to the base, but conducted experiments in this research institute.

Now the reward given by the system panel just verifies Wen Zheng's idea.

Don't look at the fact that only 500 points are given. This is just the reward for discovering the research institute. You should know that the basic tasks given by the disaster world every time can't get too many points, and they all rely on hidden tasks to get them.

In fact, after the zombie outbreak, every time you kill a zombie, you will get points, just like killing worms in the previous world, but the points are relatively small. You only get one point for killing an ordinary zombie, and only ten points for killing a second-level zombie with superpowers. Wen Zheng wants to get more points, either by accumulating a little or waiting to kill a higher-level task in the future.

Now there is another choice, which is to complete the hidden task in front of him.

From the perspective of saving people or from the perspective of points, Wen Zheng will not miss this opportunity. The first thing to do now is to observe the periphery of this base clearly, and then think about whether there is a way to enter.

The surrounding signal towers are damaged. Even if the institute has restored some power, it will not install surveillance in the woods. The key is that there may be cameras at the entrance and inside of the institute.

Wen Zheng walked a little forward, and when the roof of the institute could be clearly seen, he estimated this distance and moved to different directions for observation. From the side of the building to the front, there was no sign hanging on the door, perhaps it was hung up and then taken down.

Perhaps knowing what the institute had done, Wen Zheng always felt a sense of desolation and darkness when he looked at the building standing in the mountains.

The door of the building was closed, and it seemed that there was only the entrance. Wen Zheng did not find a way to get in. He could not just knock on the door. Although his current strength was not bad, he could not resist the shells without exchanging goods from the system store.

Let's go to the back of the institute and have a look.

There would not be only one place in the building connected to the outside. Even the air-raid shelter had two entrances and exits and several vents.

The plants on the ground made a crackling sound when he stepped on them. Wen Zheng saw the plants wrapped around his clothes and legs, frowned, took the things off and continued to walk forward, but he paid attention to the movement behind him while walking.

In addition to his footsteps, there was also a very small rustling sound. Wen Zheng stopped and turned around, but there was no strange sound. There was no wind at this moment, and the forest was particularly quiet.

Wen Zheng's eyes kept scanning the surroundings, half squatting down and staring at the ground covered with plants and completely covered with green. He raised his hand, and a slow flame danced in the palm of his hand. Then, as the position of his palm and the palm of his hand adjusted, the flame lost the attraction from the palm of his hand and fell straight down.

The moment the fire and the plant collide, there is always a result. The plant is ignited by the flame, and in a short period of time, all the branches and leaves that have been grown hard on the ground are destroyed. Just when the flames swept through the first leaf, turning it black, and quickly spread to the side, a branch with leaves quickly retreated back, trying to escape the scope of the flames.

Wen Zheng used his superpower again and took back the flames that had been thrown down and gained a little more strength, so as to prevent the forest from being burned down on a large scale. At the same time, his eyes were fixed on the branches until they returned to the location of the root system, and then Wen Zheng slowly walked to that location.

"You don't look like you were contaminated by zombie flesh and mutated. Could it be that you mutated naturally." Wen Zheng touched his chin and pondered, using the system's identification function to identify the plant.

The identification result was as expected by Wen Zheng. The plant had indeed mutated in this special disaster environment. In the short period of time that Wen Zheng was thinking about it, there was no threat of flames. In fact, there were no intelligent, bold plants that relied solely on instinct, and they waved their branches and leaves at Wen Zheng again.

The soft branches and leaves can bend at will and continue to climb along Wen Zheng's legs. Wen Zheng discovered the plant's movements and guessed its purpose. Just before the branches and leaves climbed to his thighs, Wen Zheng took out the bag containing the crystal core from his pocket, took out the smallest white crystal core from it, and threw it in the air with a smirk.

Before the climbing plant had time to remove its climbing branch, another unused branch was raised high, tightly wrapped around the core before it hit the ground, and buried in the soil where its roots were.

Wen Zheng was amused by this action, which was like a small animal hiding food. It seemed that no matter what kind of creature it was, it had this instinct to hide food.

When the plant continued to ask for crystal nuclei from Wen Zheng, Wen Zheng threw a few more to it, and then took off the branches and leaves it was climbing on, regardless of whether it could understand it or not: "I still have something else to do. Come back after the matter is done, and I will take you away. I have wood-type superpowers there and will provide you with crystal cores."

After saying this, Wen Zheng squinted his eyes and looked at the branches of the big tree above his head. There was a dark bird that was almost integrated with the darkness.
