0171 Prison Carnival and Ukiyo-e of the End Times!
In ancient times, in addition to personal talent, the most important things that cultivation sects paid attention to were the four major cultivation elements of wealth, love, law and earth.
Wealth refers to financial resources, which also refers to various spiritual resources.
A couple refers to a partner who practices harmoniously, so that yin and yang can complement each other through the method of dual cultivation, increase cultivation, and avoid being too lonely during practice, which may lead to autistic personality or even inner demons.
The law refers to the method of practicing magical powers, which is also extremely important. To use the simplest metaphor, if two people with the same talent are very different in their practice, the result will be like a person who has all the talent points.
A mage who adds all his talent points to his magic power is the same as a mage who adds all his talent points to his physical strength. The final strength and magical powers he possesses will be very different.
As for the earth, it refers to the place of practice. Some caves and blessed places contain mysteries that are unimaginable to ordinary people. One day of practice there may even be better than one year in the outside world.
Although Huang Shang now has the most advanced cultivation method, he has not even seen the shadow of the two elements of love and earth, so he can only start with "wealth", that is, the crystal core in his hand, to improve
To cultivate.
However, it has to be said that "The Record of Yin and Yang Life and Death" is indeed the number one skill in ancient times. Its domineering power far exceeds the previous "Grain Yi Body Training Technique", especially its efficiency in fusing crystal nuclei is more than ten times that of the former.
!
At this moment, after Huang Shang swallowed the crystal core into his body, the mutated spiritual power in his body that was contaminated with the power of yin and yang life and death was like a shark that smelled blood. It boiled instantly and began to surround him.
The crystal core flushed crazily.
After a series of bloody battles, the spiritual power reserve in Huang Shang's body has long been far better than before. Coupled with the terrifying aggressiveness of this abnormal spiritual power, at this moment, under the crazy rush of this abnormal spiritual power, that piece of
The crystal core also began to crack and disintegrate rapidly, and finally like a collapsed dam, the huge power contained in it exploded, raging in Huang Shang's body!
It's just that for Huang Shang, the power of a mere crystal core is no longer the huge wave of the day, but just a stream of water that can be easily stirred up. Therefore, the power emerging from the crystal core was soon eliminated by Huang Shang.
The mutant spiritual power was swallowed up and became part of his strength.
"3 minutes and 30 seconds... With my current devouring speed, it seems I can find a way to get more crystal nuclei!"
Looking at the time on the clock on the wall, Huang Shang's eyes suddenly flashed.
In the past, it took him an hour or more to refine a crystal core, and the refining process was extremely difficult, so even if he had a lot of crystal cores, he couldn't digest it. But now, his strength has improved a lot, and he has his own
Baohe went out to hunt powerful enemies, and secondly, he was able to refine the crystal core much faster. In this case, he really had to change his initiative into a passive one and go out to hunt for the crystal core as the system said.
.
Thinking of this, Huang Shang took a deep breath and continued to fuse the crystal nuclei.
At the same time, a carnival started in the prison!
After all, these survivors had finally survived the previous zombie and beast tides. It was the time when the pressure was greatest, coupled with the various promises made by Huang Shang and others before the war, and the good news that they had now restored contact with the capital.
As a stimulus, Liu Qing simply held a celebration banquet to celebrate the previous victory.
For Liu Qing, who rose from the grassroots level and then gradually rose to the position of lieutenant general and political commissar, although he was not good at fighting, he was extremely good at boosting morale and stabilizing people's hearts.
Therefore, under Liu Qing's management, the atmosphere in the prison quickly became warm.
"It's still a little bit worse... Hey, although the power of this Yin-Yang Life and Death Record is great, it's just a waste of resources."
Pushing open the door and looking at the scorching sun rising high outside, Huang Shang couldn't help but sigh.
Of the 21 crystal nuclei he swept out from the battlefield, a total of 16 were consumed when he gave Baili Mingyu and others breakthroughs and initiations. There were still 7 crystal nuclei left in his hands. He thought he could rely on these seven crystal nuclei
No matter how powerful he is, he can break through his cultivation from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building, but now he knows that he still underestimated the "money burning" ability of Yin Yang Life and Death Record!
Yes, his spiritual power after the mutation is very powerful. According to the system, both its purity and destructive power are far superior to ordinary spiritual power. If he uses Taoist secrets, his power will be stronger than that of ordinary people.
More than doubled!
But this also means that the power Huang Shang swallowed from the crystal core will be fused and compressed to half or even less than its original size. Because of this, these seven crystal cores did not help Huang Shang break through to the building.
In the mid-base stage, if you want to break through, you need to fuse at least three or more crystal nuclei to achieve it.
This discovery also made Huang Shang want to cry.
However, after hearing bursts of laughter and cheers coming from the prison, Huang Shang's mood finally improved.
Anyway, he finally saved these people, didn't he?
All this hard work was not in vain after all.
Thinking of this, Huang Shang walked towards the place where the cheers were loudest with great interest, preparing to see the scene of these people celebrating.
However, Huang Shang didn't want to disturb these people too much, so after hesitating for a moment, he jumped up and jumped onto a sentry tower, looking down at the prison playground where a carnival was being held not far away.
With his current physical condition, this distance has almost no impact on him, allowing him to clearly see and hear everything happening on the playground.
Perhaps it is because these survivors have been depressed for too long since the advent of the apocalypse, so under this heavy pressure, their carnival today has gradually become indulgent and absurd.
I saw that after these people experienced the initial ecstasy and drank a lot of wine, their behavior became all kinds of strange.
Many people took advantage of this rare carnival opportunity to drink and have fun, laughing and chatting like crazy. Some of them were a little more open-minded, or men and women who had fought side by side also started to kiss in public, and some even kissed
When he had forgotten his love, he took his temporary partner back to his room and spent the night happily.
In this kind of apocalypse where we don’t know what will happen tomorrow, no one can guarantee how long they can live. In addition, some of the old rules and regulations in the apocalypse have almost collapsed, so these people no longer suppress their emotions.
Start to indulge and enjoy this may be the last pleasure in their lives.
But at the same time, there are also many people who suddenly relax, causing the pain deep in their hearts to surge out like a tidal wave. At least they sit alone in a corner and drink one glass after another, or at worst they burst into tears and have an emotional breakdown.
But whether it's a carnival or having fun, or an emotional breakdown, this weird scene on the playground has become so natural at this moment. No one will look at you because of your laughing and kissing in public, and no one will look at you because of your
Howling and frowning.
This scene is simply like a post-apocalyptic ukiyo-e, contradictory and twisted but representing an unparalleled cruelty!
"Why……"
Seeing the survivors being indulged or collapsing, Huang Shang couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
In the apocalypse, everyone is miserable and unfortunate. Even these "lucky" survivors have suppressed grief and loneliness that ordinary people cannot imagine before the apocalypse.
Most of their parents, wives, children and friends have turned into zombies or been eaten by zombies, leaving them alone struggling to survive in this cruel apocalypse. This kind of loneliness and loneliness is like a poisonous snake that gnaws at them all the time.
Their hearts had been under heavy pressure before, after all, they didn't have the time or energy to think so much at that time, but now that they are relaxed, this kind of emotion and pain keeps emerging like a tide, constantly tormenting them.
Thinking of this, Huang Shang couldn't help but sigh in his heart that ginger is still hotter. It seems that Liu Qing also noticed the emotional instability of these survivors, so he organized such a carnival and didn't even restrict these people from drinking. He just hoped that
They can use alcohol and this carnival to vent their inner emotions.
Otherwise... these people will sooner or later be tortured and driven crazy by this repressed emotion!
"Why are you sighing? If you are envious, you can go down and hug a beautiful woman. Don't you know how many girls want to crawl into your bed now?"
And just when Huang Shang sighed because of the scene before him, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "After all, in their eyes, you are the great hero who saved them!"
"She was so naughty as soon as she woke up. If I had known, I should have made the most important move just now."
Hearing the familiar voice behind him, Huang Shang said without looking back: "As for you saying that I am the hero who saved them... Oh, let's forget about being a hero. I don't know if I can take them with me.
How long do you live..."
The endless emergence of powerful enemies and crises, as well as the remaining eleven heavenly changes, have brought tremendous pressure to Huang Shang, making him almost unable to see the hope ahead.
"Without you, they would be dead by now, so don't think too much about it. Now you just live and earn one day at a time. As for the future, let's talk about it later."
Fallen shrugged his shoulders, walked to Huang Shang, and said nonchalantly: "Just like me, if I hadn't been lucky enough to catch a few mice to satisfy my hunger in the first killer test when I was four years old, I would have
I had already starved to death. After that, we had an elimination every year, and the casualty rate each time reached 50%, but I still survived? Life and death are destiny, wealth is in the sky, life and death are such things
, sometimes in addition to relying on your own efforts, you still have to look at your fate."
At this point, Depraved's expression suddenly became serious: "So... you were still messing with me during the previous initiation, right? Why did you hear the guard next to you say that I was electrocuted for much longer than others? Cockroach
Brother, you are so despicable, you actually avenge yourself!"
"..."
Seeing the sudden change in his depraved painting style, Huang Shang, who had been comforted by him before, suddenly didn't know what to say.
As expected, this guy is still a dog who can't change his habit of eating shit!
I actually thought he would comfort me?
This idea is simply stupid!
However, being interrupted by Fallen, Huang Shang felt a lot happier. Then he took a deep breath and ignored Fallen's nonsense. Instead, he said directly: "I'm going to go to the hospital to bring those people here. After all, it's all around here."
The zombies and mutated creatures have been almost eliminated, and the weapon reserves and defense facilities are much better than those of the hospital. It is also close to the outskirts of the city, so it can be attacked, retreated or defended, so it is the best temporary shelter."
"Then go pick it up..."
When business was brought up, Depraved's expression became serious: "But you'd better not bring too many people with you. In such a complex jungle terrain, too many people will get in the way."
"Well, I'm going to take you and a few others for a run."
Huang Shang nodded and said, "Let's see if we can get some more crystal nuclei by the way... We are still too short of resources now."
"I just wanted to tell you this."
Hearing Huang Shang's words, Fallen seemed to suddenly remember something, then his eyes narrowed and he said, "I think I may have to leave here temporarily for a few days!"
