Chapter 145: The Future
The next day, the seventy-fifth day of the apocalypse, it was still dark. Su Chen kicked Da Hui awake from his sleep, drove the newly found Zhongka, and continued northward.
Big Gray's digestive system is different from ordinary mutant creatures. This may be attributed to its powerful physical defense, which allows it to swallow two level four mutant creatures at the same time and perfectly absorb the energy in them.
After a long night, the relationship between Su Chen and Da Hui became closer. He could feel Da Hui's growth path and the experience bar needed to mutate again.
Like Xiao Bai, Big Gray also needs ten experience bars to mutate again. In addition to the three experience bars it gained from the three fourth-level mutated creatures it devoured last night, its current experience bars have accumulated to six.
In other words, before Su Chen encountered it, it had already killed three mutant creatures of the same level as it, which is simply incredible.
Su Chen's mission today is the same as yesterday, heading north all the way and killing any level 4 mutant creatures he encounters on the way.
With Xiaobai's cooperation, it was very easy to clean up the level four mutated creatures along the way. The battle was no longer as stalemate as before. The battle could often be over in half a minute, and then the same battle could be continued in another area.
Although the development of things was wonderful, it was not what Su Chen expected.
There are more and more fourth-level mutated creatures along the way, but most of them are zombies in various forms. By killing them, Su Chen can get nothing but a high amount of experience.
Xiaobai and Dahui were very lucky. They chewed the flesh and blood of the same kind and stayed full for two consecutive days.
Maybe Su Chen went too far into the north, or maybe it was due to time. The number of level four mutated creatures was increasing and they were no longer as hard to find as they were two days ago.
Although the number of fourth-level mutated creatures has increased, more than 90% of the fourth-level mutated creatures are zombies. Their comprehensive abilities are no match for similar species, but their growth rate is astonishing.
Su Chen guessed that this had a lot to do with the fact that they were weaker than ordinary mutant creatures. Often, the more powerful the mutant creatures were, the more experience bars they needed. The weaker they were, the fewer experience bars they needed, and the easier it was for them to mutate again.
This is just Su Chen's conjecture, he doesn't have a definite answer.
The increase in the number of level four mutated creatures is good news for Su Chen, but for the survivors, this is definitely the worst news this spring.
At noon on the seventy-seventh day of the apocalypse, Su Chen drove a medium-sized truck and took Big Hui to the northern coast of Nan City. Big Hui had not yet mutated into a level five mutant creature, but its various indicators were already comparable to ordinary ones.
Level five mutated creatures.
Su Chen planned to let it develop on its own, and staying with him all the time was not an option.
Dahui couldn't bear to leave Su Chen. With Su Chen, there was delicious food every day, he could become stronger every day, and he could sleep in peace of mind every day.
It's a pity that Su Chen's words cannot be violated. It refused in its heart, but it still agreed.
Big Hui swung his tail and plopped into the sea. His ugly head floated on the sea. Looking at Su Chen's leaving back, he felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
It is a beast, a mutated creature. It should not have emotions similar to humans, but when it looked at Su Chen's leaving back, it felt a little melancholy and reluctant for a moment.
Su Chen and Xiao Bai did not look back. Su Chen found a sports car nearby and drove Xiao Bai away.
The sea is boundless, and the laughter of the past has become part of the memory. It took one last look at the direction Su Chen left, floated down to the water, and began its hunting journey.
Xiao Bai, like Da Hui, has accumulated ten experience bars, and the distance has changed again, with only one step left.
After sending Da Hui away, Su Chen has been considering whether to let Xiao Bai develop in a single line. Keeping Xiao Bai by his side would be a big help, but in this case, neither Xiao Bai nor he would be able to grow quickly.
An environment that is too relaxed will hinder the development speed of living things. Su Chen thought about it but couldn't think of an idea.
He finally decided to keep Xiao Bai by his side for the time being, and if necessary, let him develop in a single line like Da Hui.
In the past few days, the number of fourth-level mutated creatures has increased rapidly. Ye Yao in Dragon City has sent messages to Xiaoying many times, making Su Chen very busy these days.
The increase in the number of fourth-level mutated creatures has caused the zombie swarm and army of mutated creatures to slowly transform into a privatized army, instead of the original zombie horde that was mindlessly advancing.
This caused mutant creatures to always appear near Dragon City, and Su Chen had to strengthen the defensive buildings of Dragon City and the number of defenders.
It is worth mentioning that Chen Mo left Longcheng yesterday. Following him were the thirty capable people he had trained these days and 100 Longcheng prisoners. All of them were trained by him into a private army and went to Su Chen for
The camp he prepared early in the morning.
After Chen Mo leaves, Su Chen and his camp will officially form an alliance. When one party is in trouble, the other party will work hard to provide full support.
As the number of mutated creatures continued to increase, the construction of the bell tower in the center of Dragon City was forced to stop. All members of the construction team rushed to build the iron mesh of the high wall of Dragon City to strengthen the overall defense of Dragon City.
The last group of technicians brought back by Su Chen have recently been studying independent power equipment. Once they obtain results, Dragon City will be equipped with new power facilities, with sufficient power to energize the railway network.
As the number of fourth-level mutated creatures continues to increase, the number of survivors brought back to Dragon City is getting smaller and smaller, and combatants who go out for operations suffer casualties one after another.
The gap between survivors and mutated creatures is gradually widening, and the living space of human beings will become smaller and smaller.
After Chen Mo brought away some elites, the current population of Longcheng reached 622, of which 121 are still in the prisoner stage, 171 are non-combatants, 51 are technical personnel, and the rest are combatants.
The development of Dragon City is faster than that of Dadu Camp, and life is more comfortable than that of Dadu Camp. However, sooner or later, there will be bottlenecks in development. Now, Dragon City is facing this problem.
In Su Chen's impression, he had seen 7 large camps. Among them, the only camp that could not be blocked was Pikadi's Sunset Cult.
The Sunset Cult has a population of 600, of which 550 are combatants, and the remaining 50 are old people who manage the Sunset Cult or young girls without the ability to fight.
The Sunset Cult adopts a blood-changing tactic. Even though the camp population is only 600 people, the Sunset Cult also has seven vassal camps, including two large camps and five medium-sized camps.
Every time the Sunset Cult invades a camp, it will exchange blood to keep the headquarters of the Sunset Cult at its highest combat strength without causing a food crisis.
It has to be said that the Sunset Cult's approach is feasible in the last days, and Su Chen can definitely let Longcheng follow the same route.
Invade, conquer, plunder, and make the defeated camp a vassal, and pay monthly tribute of supplies.
Although the process is full of killing, the ending is beautiful. The survivors of Dragon City will not starve, and there will be blood and blood to build Dragon City better and better.
However, this is not what Su Chen wants. Both he and the survivors have pre-apocalyptic rationality, and he is unwilling to attack the same kind unless it is absolutely necessary.
In this apocalyptic world, if survivors want to survive in the cracks of mutated creatures, they should form alliances and support each other instead of invading, robbing, and possessing.
The Sunset Cult’s approach can achieve maximum benefits in the short term.
However, as time goes by, the mutated creatures become more powerful, and sooner or later the vassal camps taken under the Sunset Cult will be swallowed up by the mutated creatures.
The Sunset Cult has no vassal camps, no other camps to rob, and no camps to offer, how can it feed so many mouths.
The invaders will perish sooner or later, perhaps by civil war or by mutated creatures.
Dragon City chose the completely opposite route to the Sunset Cult. It chose to form an alliance with other camps and help each other. Although this would put a single camp at a disadvantage and there would be casualties, but as long as the big camps remained united, the most difficult moment would come sooner or later.
Will get through.
Now, Chen Mo's camp began to develop. He took away a lot of supplies from Dragon City, causing Dragon City's defense to stand still. Su Chen had to send more combatants to search for supplies.
This approach will increase the casualties of combatants, but it is necessary. For the development of Dragon City and for the sake of not destroying our homeland, sacrifices are inevitable.
While Dragon City was fully defending and going out to search for supplies, Su Chen was also struggling to kill the mutated creatures outside Dragon City.
As a leader and the great lord of Dragon City, Su Chen would encourage the soldiers every time he returned to Dragon City.
Even if casualties continue to increase, Dragon City's morale cannot be lost, Dragon City's momentum cannot be lost, and Dragon City's future cannot be lost.
Just when Su Chen was busy running around cleaning up mutant creatures outside Dragon City, Su Chen's conscious world suddenly heard the news of Big Hui.
Although hundreds of miles away, Su Chen could still feel its joy. Dahui rushed ahead of Xiaobai and took the lead in mutating into a level five mutated creature. He obeyed Su Chen's orders and headed towards the depths of the North Sea.
Not long after the news about Big Hui came, Xiaobai might have been stimulated. However, within a few hours, Su Chen heard the good news about Xiaobai. It rushed ahead of Su Chen and mutated into a level 5 mutant creature again, with extraordinary strength.
Su Chen.
Su Chen, who received Xiaobai's joy, was still dealing with countless mutant creatures outside Dragon City, twelve kinds of fourth-level mutant creatures. He kept collecting eleven for a while, but he still hasn't encountered the last one.
Nowadays, the number of fourth-level mutant creatures continues to increase. Su Chen needs to deal with the mutant creatures outside Dragon City every day, which takes him three to five hours at least and seven or eight hours at most.
In his eyes, the development of Dragon City and the improvement of his own strength are equally important.
These days, besides Su Chen being busier than usual, the managers of Dragon City are also busy running around.
Su Chen finally returned to Dragon City and cleaned up the mutated creatures on the outskirts of Dragon City. Even with the help of experience potions, he would be somewhat mentally fatigued.
After finally being able to rest in Dragon City, Ye Yao was rarely seen. Even if the two met, they were always busy with things and missed each other.
