The days that followed in the winter were much calmer. Maybe those who could do the hard work were satisfied with the work, and those who had no strength hid at home and held on to their remaining food reserves to survive.

Another group of ghosts came near the base. This group of ghosts just lived half a block away. Wang Qi and Elena's family didn't want to look for excitement, so they lived in peace.

So Elena is right. In fact, if you don't pay attention to it, most of the time the ghost will just make the number of survivors look more.

But Wang Qi estimated that the motivations of ghosts' behavior were similar to those of humans, and they would more or less cause some minor conflicts. After one winter, a few survivors would disappear.

If they can't move south, these survivors in the northern suburbs will have to continue to move out, otherwise they will be wiped out by these messy things sooner or later.

After a quiet second half of winter, Wang Qi was able to successfully complete the upgrade of [Evolution Master 4].

There is no surprise. After the upgrade, it is indeed done twice a day, and each time it increases by 3 (main attribute).

To add some attributes to yourself, practice with Li Xiang first and see the changes in adding some attributes to others.

The force-sensitive body is a bit embarrassing. Logically speaking, the 3-point bonus should be 4.5 for the main attribute added to others, but in the end, a fraction of it was discarded!

In order to recover this 0.5 loss, Wang Qi specially gave Li Xiang another shot, but there was still no... blood loss.

Therefore, the actual effect of level 4 is that the force-sensitive body is 422 per time, and the total efficiency of other people's force-sensitive bodies is only increased by 33%.

The pair of mystery and resistance is better. Add 4 to one side and subtract 1 to the other side.

After doing experiments, Li Xiang’s updated attributes are [Strength 14, Sensitivity 18, Body 24, Mystery 14, Resistance 22].

As for Li Xiang's future height, Wang Qi no longer thinks about it. She has grown from 1.4 meters to 1.6 meters in one winter, and it is just around the corner to break through 1.8 meters. But he can't wait for her height to stabilize before moving south. Sooner or later, this attribute

I have to add it to her.

Fortunately, Li Xiang now has more experience in dealing with attribute improvements, and he no longer explodes iron basins and barrels.

In order to cope with a lot of work and challenges after the beginning of spring, including going to bandit dens to catch reform-through-labor prisoners, Elena's family also needs to be strengthened.

I don’t know which round this is anymore, just feel free to do it.

Valia, Shana and Kai add one round of strength. Valia's force sensitivity reaches 14, 16, 15. The other two are only a little lower than him in individual categories. They may not be able to confront the mantis monster in the open area, but

The two of them were confident enough to complete the hunt without injury under favorable terrain.

The three non-combatants Anna, Lin, and Elena all have added physiques. Elena with the lowest attributes is 6, 5, and 11. Knocking down an unsuspecting strong man with a stick is not a big problem. It is limited by skills.

There is still no advantage from the front.

Then all members will receive a round of resistance, and Varya and Anna will have one more mystery.

After adding, Varya [mysterious 8, resistance 20], Anna [mysterious 12, resistance 18] and the other four resistances are [-1, 18].

Anna was asked to observe several new ghosts moving nearby, and what she observed was still shadows, which showed that there was indeed a difference in the visual imaging between ordinary people and night ghosts, and it had little to do with mystery.

After completing this wave of adding points, normal people, ghosts, and reptiles no longer pose any threat. I don’t plan to add attributes to these groups in the base before setting off. I will enhance them according to needs after they hit the road.

At this time, the frame work at the blacksmith's side had been completed, but spring had not yet begun, and Wang Qi had no meat on hand, so he paid thirty kilograms of dried meat in advance, and the frame continued to be stored at the blacksmith's place.

A few days after the fifth devil's day after the heavy snow, the temperature began to gradually rise.

Wang Qi placed a bunch of small bottles filled with different concentrations of alcohol by the window to observe the temperature changes. In just a few days, the alcohol with a concentration of about 8% melted into ice, and the time for the ice and snow to melt was approaching.

At the same time, the daylight hours have also returned to seven hours.

"Madman, those ghosts are gone!" Li Xiang suddenly came to tell him the new news.

Wang Qi didn't notice when Li Xiang started calling him "crazy". It seemed like when he was doing homework one day?

Dad, uncle, brother, Wang Qi, Wang, there were so many alternatives to choose from, but I could still sense some of Li Xiang's little thoughts, and I tried not to correct her.

He doesn't care about this. Anyway, as long as he doesn't use insulting words and can convey information normally, whatever he calls is just a code name. Maybe someone will still call him the Pope in the future. Wouldn't it be a waste of words to correct them one by one? Besides, between friends

It's normal to call each other by nicknames. He and Li Xiang are much closer than ordinary friends.

"How did you know?"

Li Xiang put his hands on his hips: "I kept an eye on them. They went out three days ago and didn't come back. Also, all the strange things hanging on the walls of their residence were missing."

After another two months, Li Xiang now speaks what the locals call Qin dialect very fluently.

The strange things hanging on the wall were something Li Xiang could only see after she turned 14. According to her description, it was some kind of corrosion phenomenon that Wang Qi couldn't observe. The wall would be dyed, or something might be leaking.

Anyway, Wang Qi couldn't see the thing, and she couldn't explain it, so the drawing was still a mess.

"Let's go and have a look."

He took Li to the kitchen to call for help, and went with Varya to check the situation half a street away.

On the way, Wang Qi asked Walia: "Have the ghosts melted because of the rising temperature?"

Varya was a little confused and didn't know how he came up with this question. He just shook his head and said, "I don't know. They disappear around this time every year. I haven't seen any evidence of melting."

The three of them quickly arrived at the target area, and Wang Qi shouted: "Is there anyone there!?"

Echoes echoed in the silent streets, and ice cubes slipped from the nearby roof and hit the ground with a "bang" sound, triggering a reaction from the company.

Although Li Xiang said that she had never seen the ghost come back, she only stared at it when she was free, so she still had to confirm.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement in the house. Wang Qi took the lead and called for the two of them to follow.

After checking inside the building, we found supplies left behind, no food, mainly wooden boards, tableware, and bedding.

Boards were nailed to the window. Wang Qi took a closer look and saw that the small damage on the surface where the nails touched the board was not old. The nails were not fully covered with rust. They were really nailed in the winter!

So in fact, many so-called safe houses were not transformed by survivors?

After checking around, he asked again: "Valia, have you ever found food in a place like this?"

Varya thought carefully and nodded: "Yes, but I have only found dry Brick, the 'Xiao Qiang' you mentioned."

Food residues are suspicious.

The results of the on-site inspection also showed that they did not have a serious dining table for cutting food. You can cut food by hand, but you can't take the chopping boards that can be found everywhere, and I didn't find any.

Could it be that holding the little Johnson in his arms and chewing it... doesn't seem to be impossible. He did it himself before winter before he learned how to hunt reptiles.

"Would you like to see your old house?"

"It will be safer to wait until the weather gets warmer." Although his body was many times stronger than before, Varya still maintained the due caution.

"That's fine. Just call me when you go. I'm very interested in ghosts. Maybe they are the most common...things on our way south."

The mention of tentacles that day was met with a wave of mysterious reactions, which is enough evidence of the close relationship between ghosts and nodes in other worlds.

Coupled with the observation of Xiaoqiang's changes after eating ghosts, it was determined that they were not ghosts in the traditional sense, but a means used by other worlds to influence the physical world.
