Author: I get drunk when I smile

The more Qi Zhen thought about it, the more worried she became, and she kept taking out food from her bracelet. She just took a few things here and there, feeling anxious for a while.

Xiao Jing felt a lot in his heart. His wife knew how to feel sorry for him, and it was worthy of him to protect her all the time. "It's okay, that's enough."

"Drink this." Qi Zhen thought that she had brought a small bottle of concentrated juice before going out, and unexpectedly it came in handy. "This has the most energy and is comfortable to drink, so there is no need to save."

"Okay." Xiao Jing took a few sips and felt good indeed. His almost dry body was nourished by the soft energy, and he felt so comfortable that he wanted to close his eyes.

"How about we go back to the woods where we stayed before and take a rest?" Xiao Jing looked very worried, and she couldn't care less about the black crystal and the crystal core.

"Don't worry, it's much better. Go dig the crystal core quickly. After digging, we will go back to the town. Those people should be fighting against the ground worms in Qihang City. Otherwise, why wouldn't it be so quiet here?"

"Can you really do it yourself? The worst thing is not to do it anymore." Qi Zhen endured her heartache and said.

Xiao Jing looked surprised and said he didn't want it. It was no less painful than Ling Chi for the money lover.

Qi Zhen was slightly annoyed and gave him a sharp look, "These things are external possessions and are not as important as your life. If not, we will find a way to get them back after you are well taken care of."

Xiao Jing's eyes were full of gentleness, "I'm really fine, go dig."

Qi Zhen looked at Xiao Jing carefully and found that he was indeed very energetic and his face was not that pale, so she stopped insisting.

She is nimble with her hands and feet, and can dig out crystal cores very quickly. She can finish them in a few hours. There are more than 2,000 crystal cores without counting them, but there are only 7 black crystals, which is pitifully few. Counting the 13 collected before, the total is still less than 1,000.

Come to a hundred.

Thinking of the value of this thing, I immediately felt that it was normal for me to be young. If they were all priced at the same price as ordinary ingredients, there would probably be too much. I carefully put away the black crystals and crystal cores, and hurriedly went to see Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing's recovery was pretty good, at least there was no problem in traveling. Calculating the time, Hangzhou was bustling with activity. It was close here, so things would change later. He convinced Qi Zhen to return to the town after repeatedly ensuring that he was fine.

As soon as Xu Bin and others approached Qihang City, they were attacked by dense ground insects before they had time to deploy. Their hasty response was insufficient and the entire team was immediately dispersed. Seeing that the momentum was not good, Xu Bin immediately ordered a retreat.

However, the further they retreated, the closer the earthworms followed, and soon they were surrounded and defeated one by one.

Unable to advance or retreat, and unable to gather together, we can only fight with all our strength to fight our way out. But there are too many ground worms, and each of them can spray mud. One bite and one bite will turn us into pieces in no time.

Clay figurines. Those with high superpowers are less affected. They will pick out their eyes and keep fighting with the mud in their nostrils. Those with low superpowers will be miserable. They will be covered in thick mud shells and move slowly.

As a result, the mud shells accumulated thicker and thicker, unexpectedly blocking the worm's claws. Just when the worm was thankful that it had lifted a rock to hit its own feet, it suddenly found that its chest was being squeezed so hard that it was hard to breathe. I wanted to lift my arms, but

His limbs were already covered in mud, and his head was buried as soon as he made a high-pitched cry for help.

Death from suffocation! Zhao Qiang, who was not far from this man, was horrified and began to move around, never staying in one place and waiting to die. In this way, the situation got a little better. He reluctantly distanced himself from the earthworm and switched from defense to offense. However,

The price paid is also high, and physical energy is consumed twice as much.

Seeing this, others began to learn from him, but soon they were exhausted and it was better to resist where they were.

Zhao Qiang was unusually smart at this moment. Not only did he not run away, but he also consciously moved closer to Xu Bin. It was not that he was kind-hearted and wanted to sacrifice himself for others, but that he clearly knew that no matter how powerful he was, he could not escape by himself.

Get out. We are all grasshoppers on a rope. Only by uniting can we escape.

When Zhao Qiang and Xu Bin reunited, they began to approach the more physically fit players. When the team reunited, there were only 24 people left from the thirty-six, a full one-third less. It was only an hour before and after, which was terrible.

Everyone's heart was clouded and their mood hit rock bottom.

However, there was no time to adjust his mentality, and he was surrounded all the way back and forth. As a last resort, Xu Bin immediately sent out a distress signal, but the signal did not light up as expected. He didn't believe it, so he tried again, but it still didn't work!

Damn it! Xu Bin continued to release signals until the last energy flare was left. His wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone, and the other person's nails almost dug into his flesh. "Team...Captain, you...look!"

Xu Bin raised his head angrily and followed the other person's gaze. His eyes were split open in an instant. Ground worms! Countless ground worms! The bumpy streets, dilapidated and half-collapsed buildings, abandoned and messy facilities... they were all crowded.

Full of earthworms, they were like trapped animals, struggling towards death.

No, that's not it! They have the most accurate information, they have the strongest team members, and a large number of allies are on the way to rescue. Isn't it just to share some benefits? They just give it.

Yes, that's it. Xu Bin was shaken and said, "Don't panic, everyone, just hold on and reinforcements will arrive."

Are there reinforcements? Didn't the signal go out? Does the commander have a back-up plan? There must be one. The captain is so thoughtful, so he must have arranged a back-up plan. Although they are still a little suspicious in their hearts, they are more willing to believe that the reinforcements will arrive.

Qi Zhen and Xiao Jing returned to the town. The whole town was so quiet that not even a mosquito was seen, and the smell of death was getting stronger. Worried about the expansion of the battlefield, the two did not dare to delay at all, and went straight to the yard where farm tools were sold.

The storage room behind the house has not changed much, except that there is more sand and soil. Most of it has collapsed, so there is no need to think about where to start, just dig directly. The depth of digging is almost the same as last time, and coal was dug out at more than one meter. It was just a matter of measuring.

Less volume and smaller size.

Qi Zhen dug out several lumps of coal in succession. She was greatly encouraged and dug very energetically. Hey, it seemed to be a big one this time. She hurriedly cleaned up the surrounding sand and soil, and it was as big as the mouth of the basin. Oh my god, she was in luck.

? He happily put the coal into the bracelet, and habitually touched the empty hole to check if there was anything missing.

Wait, it seems that she really found a... black crystal? Qi Zhen's eyes stared at the black crystal in her palm for a moment. Where did this come from? If she wasn't insane, the black crystal should be in the head of the earth worm.

Here. These coals are not even ores, so how can they produce black crystals? What is the opportunity for black crystals to appear?

Qi Zhen couldn't figure it out for a moment, so she showed Xiao Jing a black crystal. By coincidence, Xiao Jing had just dug one up. Qi Zhen looked around and immediately found a black crystal dug out from the head of an earth worm, and compared it.

After finding that there was no difference, I couldn't help but speculate, "Is it possible that the black crystals were originally produced from coal, were eaten by earthworms, and mutated to have regenerative functions."

"It's possible, but we can't rule out that the earthworm absorbed the special energy of coal, mutated, and grew black crystals."
