Chapter 4 Mutation
"kill!"
Jiang Cheng held the hatchet in his hand and slashed forward with force. Then he quickly changed the direction of the blade with the help of his wrist and made a horizontal slash.
In an instant, two knife shadows flashed past.
The whole process took less than a second. He had been training like this for three consecutive days, and today was the fourth day.

call--
Exhaling a breath, Jiang Cheng put away the knife and looked at the knife speed data on the display on the wall of the gym, feeling very dissatisfied.
The physical strength is more than twice that of an ordinary person, and it took half a second to slash with two knives.
With such strength, if he encounters slow-moving ordinary zombies, he will be fine, but if he encounters a first-level mutant, he will be in danger.
He remembered that after the doomsday broke out, a large number of zombies appeared in Linxian City.
The slow-moving zombies that appear first are called normal zombies.
Time goes forward.
The zombie virus begins to evolve.
A kind of mutant was born among ordinary zombies. Some of these mutants are as strong as cattle and can directly overturn a car. Some are agile and faster than a galloping horse, with speeds exceeding 70km/h.
Once, Jiang Cheng went out to the camp to look for food as a scavenger, and then he saw a scene that he will never forget.
More than a dozen seekers besieged a first-level power mutant, but in less than twenty seconds, they were all killed by the mutant.
These dozen seekers used to be coaches in various fighting gyms in Linxian City. One person could easily fight against three or five ordinary people, but when faced with first-order mutants, they only ended up being wiped out.
In addition to the two common first-order mutants, strength-type mutants and speed-type mutants, there are second-order, third-order, fourth-order, and even stronger mutants.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but frown.
The first-order mutant will appear in half a month. Relying solely on the attribute bonuses brought by the gym and the spiritual pool is far from enough to face the first-order mutant.
Unless the spiritual pool and gym can quickly improve physical attributes, then there are two issues.
So Jiang Cheng asked: "System, how can I improve my physical attributes faster?"
The system sound sounded immediately.
"The host can upgrade the equipment in the base. At present, it is recommended that the host upgrades the gym or the spiritual pool."
"What are the requirements for upgrading?" Jiang Cheng asked again.
"Upgrading the second level spiritual pool requires 50 energy points."
"Upgrading the second-level gym requires 50 energy points."
50 energy points?
In the past three days, the base has collected a total of 42.08 energy points, consumed 8.3 energy points, and has 33.78 energy points left, which is 16.22 short of 50 points. Depending on the speed of the base collecting energy points alone, when 50 energy points are collected, everyone else will It's cold.
What's more, the operation of the base also requires energy, and starting today, due to the flood, the city's power supply system was paralyzed this morning, and all the waste at home was converted into energy points. In other words, he is currently You can only rely on water supply pipes to obtain energy points.
The water supply pipeline can collect up to 5 tons of water a day, which is converted into 0.5 energy points. At this rate, his base will be paralyzed for more than half a month at most.
This must not be allowed to happen!
There must be more ways to get power points.
Jiang Cheng recalled what happened in the past three years.
He remembered that a kind of crystal would condense in the brains of zombies. This crystal would replace banknotes and become the currency of the survivor camp in the apocalypse.
Because the energy it contains can help humans become awakened.
I just donβt know how many energy points this gray crystal can convert.
You can try catching a few ordinary zombies.

afternoon.
The flood slowly receded.
There was a lot of dirt and debris on the ground.
Those who survived in high-rise buildings also tentatively opened the door after the flood receded.
With the first person taking the lead, the others followed outside.
Jiang Cheng was sitting on the balcony, looking down from a high position, his eyes extremely calm.
Here, a βbig dramaβ is about to take place.
On the street, more and more people came out. Some began to clean up the garbage at the door of the house, and some searched for the bodies of their relatives who had been killed.
But it didn't take long for them to come out.
A scream sounded.
ah--
Jiang Cheng glanced.
It was a middle-aged uncle who was nearly sixty years old. He moved strangely, pounced on a young man and bit him. The aunt next to him saw this and quickly went up to try to pull him away, but before he could get close, the middle-aged uncle suddenly turned around and said a pair of The pale eyes stared at the aunt, and the blood-covered mouth let out an inhuman roar.
"Old Chen, what's wrong with you? I am..."
Before the aunt could finish speaking, the middle-aged uncle pounced on her. Amid the screams, the aunt gradually stopped struggling, and the people on the street ran away.
Within a few minutes.
The aunt who had been silent suddenly twitched.
His eyes suddenly opened, revealing a pair of pale eyes, his body stood up again in a twisted posture, and a pitiful roar came from his mouth.
Jiang Cheng knew these two people, they were the neighbors Aunt He and her husband who lived across the street.
Except for those on the street, there were constant screams from the surrounding houses, and some jumped from the windows and fell into a puddle of squirming flesh on the ground.
All kinds of tragic scenes continue to be staged in every corner of Linxian City.
The number of zombies increased exponentially.
Before long, the streets and residential buildings were filled with terrifying zombies.
Jiang Cheng had no intention of saving these people. He was not a saint, and there was no need to risk his life for a group of neighbors.
After watching for a long time, Jiang Cheng calmly walked back to the room, found a few thick cotton clothes to wrap himself, and used wide tape to wrap his wrists and ankles back and forth for a few circles, and then he walked down with the hatchet.
He wanted to verify his guess.
"Shuguang, open the door!"
"Yes, master."
The door opened.
Jiang Cheng walked onto the street.
These zombies have a very sensitive sense of smell. As soon as a living person appeared nearby, they immediately turned their heads to find the smell.
After a few seconds, a zombie ran up to him.
Roarββ
Roaring, the blood-stained big mouth bit towards Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng looked calm. He had seen too many zombies like this in his previous life. As a scavenger, he had killed hundreds of zombies in three years.
As soon as the zombies approached, he raised his hatchet and chopped them horizontally, just like in the training room.
The shadow of the knife flashed.
The huge head hit the ground and rolled, making a weak roar.
The head was chopped off, and a large amount of black and red blood gushed out of the zombie's neck, and the torso twitched and collapsed
One!
Jiang Cheng was not in a hurry to take out the crystal, as there were at least twenty zombies around him staring at him.
He took a deep breath and chopped the next zombie rushing over with the knife.
Puffββ
The hatchet entered the flesh, and with his nearly 400 kilograms of strength, the zombie's head and body were separated in an instant.
After killing two zombies, Jiang Cheng adjusted his posture and continued to swing the hatchet.
Less than a minute later.
Huhββ
He exhaled, looked at the more than twenty zombies on the ground with their heads chopped off, and nodded secretly.
This was his most brilliant record since he faced the zombies.
Then, he squatted down, grabbed a zombie head, and stabbed it hard on the top of the head.
Zilaββ
The skull cracked from the top.
There was no red and white brain matter, only gray and white unknown liquid and a gray transparent crystal the size of a marble.
He dug out these zombie crystals and put them into the bag skillfully.
Jiang Cheng did not stop, avoided the zombies chasing him, and immediately returned to the survival base.
β¦
In front of the energy conversion room.
Jiang Cheng opened his backpack, took out a gray zombie crystal, and put it into the conversion room with some nervousness.
Then he quickly looked at the system data panel.
I saw that the energy points that originally showed 33.78 became 34.78.
The energy points increased by 1 point.
Instantly.
A huge surprise surged up.
A gray zombie crystal can actually bring him a full 1 energy point.
This time, he hunted 24 zombies.
Calm down, without hesitation put all the remaining crystals into the conversion room, and the energy points increased from 34.78 to 57.78.
The next moment, the system prompt sounded.
"The energy points have reached 50, and the upgradeable items are: Level 2 Spirit Pool (required energy points 50), Level 2 Gym (required energy points 50), Level 2 Hibernation Chamber (required energy points 50)."
"Upgrade the gym for me."
