Chapter 4 Recovery (Part 2)
Before his death, although his strength was strong, he was not known for his spiritual power. But now, his mental power growth rate was unusually fast. I don’t know whether it was the talent that this body itself had or the effect of mysterious runes.
Just a few days ago, because the food was about to run out, he took the risk of going out again, but he didn't get the food, but unfortunately he ran into the Gambino warriors who came out to patrol on both sides. After a hard battle, he killed the two guys together at the cost of another serious injury, and then forced himself to climb back to the shelter to recover from his injuries!
What surprised him even more was that after this almost desperate fight, the genes in the body had been slightly adjusted and had accumulated a gene optimization point on their own. This means that as long as you have the appropriate ability to induce the agent or a specific genome, a new first-order ability can be formed.
Gene points refer to the specific position that a gene occupies on a chromosome. There are many genes, while the number of chromosomes is limited, so each chromosome can contain many gene codes. The number of gene points determines the number of capabilities and ranks that the gene itself can carry. More gene optimization points mean stronger strength and status!
The psychics of the Empire are special groups with powerful power because their genome is stable enough to withstand the loading of a large number of gene optimization points and obtain a variety of high-level abilities!
Since the first superpower inducing potion appeared in the laboratory, human evolution has taken a new direction. With the continuous investment of financial and material resources by the top leaders of the empire, various new potions and high-level abilities emerge one after another, and the group of psychics is becoming increasingly large!
During the empire's foreign expansion for thousands of years, a large number of supernatural legions have played an irreplaceable role in the expansion of the empire's territory and are also the strength guarantee for human civilization to be on par with other powerful alien civilizations!
Especially later, the Empire established the Temple of Silent Stars, which was famous in the Star Sea World, and specialized in systematic research in this regard. Based on this, it formed the empire's most powerful superpower force: the Pole Star Warrior Order. It became an important strategic force for the empire to explore living space and protect human civilization!
Xiao Junling took a light breath and was able to obtain the gene point, which proved that he still had hope. Although under the current situation, he could not get the relevant ability-induced potion, as long as he could survive, after the Imperial Legion fought back and drove all the disgusting guys back, he naturally had a way to grow up and enter the ranks of high-level psychics!
There are many ways to obtain gene points, among which fierce battles and battles hovering on the edge of life and death are the fastest and least side effects. Of course, the risks to bear are also the greatest!
Secondly, it is through injecting gene evolution agents. Although this method is simple and easy to use, it is applicable to many ordinary people, but in addition to spending huge amounts of money, there are also many risks to bear. Once the injected person's own gene is not stable enough, it will cause various unpredictable consequences. The most common one is gene collapse. At the least, it will be plagued by diseases and become useless people, and at the worst, it will be dead!
Perhaps, he should go out for more things. Only by experiencing more battles can he quickly improve his strength, he secretly calculated.
Although the risk is very high, it won’t work if it doesn’t work. The food is about to run out, and he has no choice in order to survive!
I slowly sorted out my clothes, picked up the high-frequency particle oscillator knife placed on the table, then walked to the door, and moved the sandbag that blocked the portal.
After checking the environment outside again and confirming that there was no abnormal movement, he finally opened the door. Outside was a narrow step, filled with all kinds of messy debris, covering the entrance to the basement.
The ground part of the house has long been destroyed, and the ruins have become the best cover.
At the end of the steps is a somewhat deformed alloy door, which has been torn and taken off from the door frame by huge external forces, but it is barely attached to it. When the door is moved away, there are a lot of used clothes, furniture, mechanical parts and other debris outside.
As long as you pass through these debris, you will appear on the abandoned streets, but Xiao Junling is not sure what the situation outside is.
Just as he was about to use his mental power to explore again, his body suddenly trembled slightly for a moment. The mysterious rune flashed lightly in his body, and then a brief message appeared in his mind:
"First-order capability: environmental sensing, generation. It can monitor all hostile targets within a radius of fifty meters with itself as the origin, and consume the number of gene points: 1."
He couldn't help but be surprised and happy. According to the established ability level division system of the empire, environmental sensing is a first-level skill, which can provide real-time monitoring of the external environment within a radius of twenty meters, but his skill effect has obviously been greatly enhanced! He almost caught up with the second-level perception ability "obviously"!
And more importantly, he has not injected the corresponding ability-induced potion now, and he is actually able to generate such an enhanced first-level skill by himself, which is beyond his expectations!
Obviously, if there are new gene points generated in the next battle, it will be obvious to gain more and stronger abilities. There is no need to find a way to get the ability potion in the future!
The next thing became much easier. In his mind, the image of the surrounding environment slowly took shape. Although it was not very clear, it was enough for the current situation.
There was a dead silence in the perception realm, and there was not even a slightly larger animal.
He felt relieved, slowly got out of the debris and appeared on the street.
I looked up at the sky and it was almost dusk. The orange sun hung low on the horizon, sprinkling the remaining light and heat on this planet that was raging with war!
There is a small supermarket located more than 700 meters ahead. The goods are not very good, but finding some emergency food and water should not be a problem. However, this time, the perception skills are newly generated and the enemy can be discovered in advance. Xiao Junling already has a new idea.
Maybe he should go further and take a look, walk along the street that turns left not far ahead, and finally arrive at the largest supermarket and logistics distribution center in this block. The food types inside are not only much richer, but also have a variety of high-concentrated nutrients, pure water, first aid medicines and other daily necessities, which are all things he can use now.
If he is lucky enough, he still hopes to get some energy blocks, and most importantly, ecological food synthesis machines, and even new medical cabins are not impossible to find.
The spacious streets were quiet, with messy debris everywhere, almost disintegrating speed cars, twisted alloy railings, semi-melt metal lamp posts, and large areas of long-standing solidified, dark red bloodstains! There are traces of light cannons ravaging in some high-rise buildings!
Occasionally, one or two small animals ran by nearby quickly, and they were mostly homeless pets. And the humans in the entire city were kidnapped by the disgusting Gambinos as food! Very few people had the opportunity to escape their repeated searches.
Xiao Junling walked silently, holding the high-frequency oscillation knife tightly in his hand, the environmental perception ability continued to open, and his mental power slowly decreased. He consumed about 3 points in one minute, which can last for about half an hour based on the current total amount. However, the mysterious rune would occasionally emit a faint heat flow, allowing his mental power to slowly recover. Compared with the speed of comprehensive consumption and recovery, he could maintain this ability for nearly an hour.
It didn't take long, and the supermarket arrived.
The gate had been blown away, and most of the walls facing the street had collapsed. The shelves inside were tilted, and all kinds of goods were thrown everywhere. Several energy-depleted machine waiters were slumped on the ground and motionless.
The once bright and bright floor was scattered with some human bones that had been gnawed beyond recognition, and the dark brown blood still emitted a pungent fishy smell. Needless to ask, it must be some people who survived the first wave of sweeps who came here to look for food and were targeted by the Gambinos who were following the traces, and were killed.
"This group of damn wild beasts!" Xiao Junling cursed secretly and began to search for things he could use.
Although many of the packaging had been damaged, causing the food inside to deteriorate and rot, after some searches, he still found many intact goods, including half a box of concentrated nutrients, two large boxes of portable energy blocks, an emergency medicine pack, several bottles of red wine, and a large bag of cakes and biscuits and other foods.
Finally, he found a big box, put all the useful things in it, carried it on his shoulder and walked back, and took some suitable clothes from several abandoned shops along the way.
What made him a little unbelievable was that the road was surprisingly quiet during the round trip, and the ability of environmental sensing was always turned on, but no suspicious situation was found! It seemed that this block had been completely forgotten by the Gambinos.
Of course, reason told him that such a good thing could not have been possible unless the Imperial Legion had already fought back!
After returning to his residence and placing the spoils in categories, he spent several minutes weighing the pros and cons, and finally decided to go out and try his luck again. After all, the harvest now is only enough to last for a week, and there is nothing to take in that place.
So a moment later, a lonely figure appeared again on the street.
It was getting late, and the once extremely prosperous city became more and more quiet and terrifyingly quiet!
Xiao Junling suddenly felt something in the center of the earth, and his thin body suddenly jumped, pounced on a half-decayed room on the side of the road, hiding his figure.
Above his head, three small Gambino flying saucers brushed through the edges of dark gray clouds at high speed.
Only when these guys were far away did he dare to come out slowly and continue to move towards the established goal.
Twenty minutes later, he finally arrived at the large supermarket. It seemed that the place had not been damaged too seriously. At least the door and exterior wall were basically kept intact, and there was no too much debris or blood.
The variety of products and a complete range of categories were neatly placed. He did not rush to choose, but found a hidden position at the innermost level, sat down and rested for a while, and restored his physical fitness to his best condition, and then began to take action.
If something goes wrong, there will be a demon. His instinct for danger has told him that this time the action will never go so smoothly!
This time, he did not take those foods with good taste, but chose high-concentrated nutrients. These special foods containing high energy are indispensable equipment for psychopaths with huge energy demands!
He is now considered a psychic at the beginning of the Yuanxing realm. He has just stepped into the threshold of cultivation and his body's demand for energy is far beyond that of ordinary people, so this is an inevitable choice.
I went back and forth in the commodity area with an area of tens of thousands of square meters, and then I found two boxes of compressed energy blocks in the logistics and distribution warehouse next door, as well as a set of knives, an intelligent optical brain, and some fragmentary items he thought were useful.
Deep in the warehouse, he found several unopened intelligent robots, ecological food synthesis machines, and new sealed medical cabins as he wished. However, these things are large, so it is obviously unrealistic to get them back at one time.
Just as Xiao Junling was calculating, a dangerous throbbing suddenly appeared in his heart, forcing him to end his thoughts and hid behind a pile of tall cargo boxes.
Chapter completed!
