Mecha Star Wars

Chapter 834 Troubled Times and Difficulties

A bottle of water weighing more than 200 milliliters was nothing to Lin Fan, but to Lan Pingru, it was something she could only obtain after taking risks and working hard for half a day outside the city.

The last days are difficult, but in terms of time, it has only been more than a year.

The time it takes for people to acquire superpowers is even shorter.

Most people have not even psychologically adapted to various changes, so they have no choice but to force themselves to assimilate and survive in a difficult world.

Survival of the fittest sounds simple, but what can you do if you don't adapt?

Those who have acquired superpowers are better off, but those who have not acquired superpowers and can only survive in the inner city are even worse than pigs and dogs.

Too many survivors are a burden to any base.

Not everyone has access to the Constitution-enhancing potion.

The large base of ordinary people who have fallen to the bottom in terms of physical fitness or other aspects are even worse than the pigs in the pen.

Although the base has routine maintenance work every day to give these ordinary people a way to survive, there are more monks than meat, and exploitation is everywhere.

In order to get a relatively stable job, it is not easy to break one's head in the face of human life, even if the income from this job can only make a living.

Under the pressure of life, human nature becomes extremely evil.

The upper management of the base where Lan Pingru was located seemed to deliberately allow such internal strife to occur. Every day, bloodshed occurred one after another. From the small gate in the north, there would always be bloody trucks leaving the city in the early morning...

A wife without a wife, a son without a son...

What will happen to a world with moral decay and broken rules? No matter how one imagines it, it is still less than one ten thousandth of the truth.

Some people enjoy the rights in their hands, while others are eager to leave.

People with superpowers are the product of accidents, and improving superpowers is not as easy as shown in movies and TV shows. Even at the beginning, it took a while to figure out how to use my powers well without accidentally injuring myself.

There are crystal nuclei in the zombies' brains, but they are also newly mutated, very small, and still grow together with the skull.

If someone hadn't searched persistently, the thing would indeed have a different color from normal bones, just like the pebbles on the tourmaline bracelet, and it would have been possible to miss it.

Since zombies have it in their brains, mutated animals should also have it, and so should plants. It's just that compared to zombies, the mutated animals that have existed for a long time are more difficult to fight, and of course the crystal nuclei are larger.

Plants don't have brains, but it took a lot of effort to find similar crystals underground and at the roots. Similarly, the more powerful it is, the larger the crystal nucleus is and the darker the color is.

Now that the crystal core is there, it takes a lot of effort to use it. If you bite it, your teeth will break, and if you swallow it directly, you will die violently. It took me a while to figure out how to successfully absorb it.

After some comparison, it was found that the ability to absorb crystal cores can be improved much faster than simply killing monsters on a daily basis to increase skill proficiency, so crystal cores have become a scarce resource again.

The upper levels of the base control the crystal core and use it as a means of controlling superpowers.

All the crystal cores brought back by superpowers from their missions outside the city must be turned over to a large base ratio, and usually only a few are left in their hands.

Crystal core resources are already in short supply, and the ones that low-level superpowers can produce are only as big as gravels. Although they can improve faster than themselves, they are not much faster.

In the upper levels of the base, those with status and abilities have more resources and can upgrade faster, so their promotion will naturally be faster. The more resources you get, the higher your status...

Those with low-level powers can only accumulate crystal cores little by little and improve their proficiency through hard work. But the improvement of proficiency is linked to physical fitness. The materials required for physical fitness are all exchanged for tasks and crystals...

These materials are rich compared to ordinary people, but a few people in the team will only have enough food and clothing. If you want to be luxurious, you have to think about it for a long time.

The gap just widens.

If you want to live a good life, besides working hard, there is another shortcut - relying on the people above you.

The upper levels of the base, whether those with superpowers or without superpowers, all need followers.

To put it bluntly, it means betraying yourself.

Those who are capable can show off their ability, be a thug, be a younger brother, you name it, even if you flatter the right person, if the superior person casually misses a little bit, it will be better than your own hard work.

Those who are incompetent must either sell their brains or their bodies... If you want to take advantage, there is always a chance.

There are not a few people who choose this path, and the already hierarchical base has become even more hierarchical.

Of course, there are also upright people who don't want to be vassals, like Lan Pingru's team, who are proud and unwilling to sell their dignity, and would rather work hard and endure...

But as the current situation changes, the power struggle becomes increasingly intensified, and everyone is forced to take sides. There is less and less space left for these low-level superpowers.

The soldiers guarding the city gate were looking at them with increasing contempt; the supplies were getting increasingly tight and the treatment was deliberately forced; and Lan Bingru's former little sister repeatedly came to persuade her to submit with the "feelings" of the superior... …

All the pressure made everyone sleepless and uneasy. Seeing the danger approaching, there was nothing they could do.

So, after finding out the general situation of other bases, these people who would rather break than bend escaped...

With beautiful visions and hopes, they want to start a new life in a base with a more relaxed environment. I just didn't expect that I escaped from the base, but not from these monsters.

The monsters in the wild are far more powerful and denser than those outside the city...

Lan Bingru pulled away from her memories and silently screwed on the bottle cap.

With her previous experience, she did not dare to be overly optimistic about being rescued.

There were two people in front of them, the girl was pretty, the guy was handsome, and they were neatly dressed as if they were living before the end of the world.

Although the back of their clothes was somewhat damaged, in this dilapidated and dirty apocalypse, the two men were as clean as if they were shining. They had unique weapons and decisive attacks... It didn't take much thinking to figure out that they were high-level superpowers.

Such people are always hard to tell when they are angry. Saving people and killing people in the blink of an eye...

Thinking of all the things she had done as a high-level superpower user in the base, Lan Bingru quickly smiled and said thank you as sincerely as possible.

Then he remembered that his face was full of blood, which was unsightly, so he just mobilized the last trace of supernatural power left in his body, and a thin layer of water mist floated in the palm of his hand. He wiped his face and threw the blood to the ground. Then he continued to raise his head and smile with his teeth exposed.

Communication is not an issue.

The language of this planet was given by the Octopus Man as early as when Lanxing was developing a translator.

Although they were just passing by, they collected some information during their satellite exploration, including the language system.

Fortunately, there is only one section of this planet with a single language system. At most, there are small differences in accents similar to dialects due to different regions, which does not affect daily communication. Greatly reduces the difficulty of learning.

As early as the first day when the Noah set its goal to come here, everyone on the ship began to learn the language of this planet.

Of course they have a translator, but the translator can only quickly translate the other party's language to the Lanxing people. If the Lanxing people want to communicate, they have to speak to the translator... After all, it is not as convenient as speaking on their own.

The more important reason is that they found that the language system of this planet is very close to the Lanxing language system. To put it bluntly, it is easy to learn.

Except for those who are engaged in scientific research, the people on the spacecraft even have some free time to raise pigs. If they have something to do, they just do it for entertainment.

Even if you don't like studying, you will happily get excited thinking about being able to stand on an alien planet and talk fluently with aliens one day.

It's a pity that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. When the time came, the scene of the friendly visit did not appear, and no one could get out...

When it comes to studying, Antonio takes it seriously and his progress is no worse than Lin Fan. He simply didn't want to be so tired.

In this world, who doesn’t live a free and easy life? Anyway he is.

So as a socialist, after the alien girl expressed her willingness to communicate, he took over the conversation for Lin Fan, who was slightly afraid of society. Smiling and leaning over to express concern.

"Hey, you okay, sister?"
