Chapter 217 The Final Disaster

"Knock knock knock... Are you okay? I'm coming in?"

Outside the second-floor guest room of the courtyard, Xiao Jian knocked on the door, and after receiving a response, he pushed the door open and entered.

"Is it over?"

"Finally over?" Shao Youxian poked his head out from under the quilt, his face full of anxiety as if he had survived a disaster.

The sense of oppression in the courtyard just now finally receded like a tide.

After getting along with Xiao Jian for a period of time, Shao Youxian never noticed that he was scary. After a long time, he even felt that Xiao Jian was like his classmate. Not only could he talk about research, but he could also joke around.

However, now he finally discovered one thing, that is, gods are gods after all.

Although Xiao Jian usually put down his status, so that Shao Youxian almost forgot his identity...

But the pressure from the attack just now made Shao Youxian breathless!

Xiao Jian easily dealt with such a terrifying enemy, which was enough to make Shao Youxian deeply feel the huge gap between ordinary people and gods.

"It's over here, but it hasn't started outside..." Xiao Jian activated the [Broken Confusion] feature, and took a closer look at his character card. He was relieved when he found that there were no other attributes.

"Anyway, the current situation is a bit complicated. Do you want to go back to the Fortress Town to hide? If a fight really breaks out, I won't be able to take care of you."

Xiao Jian himself was also a little scared.

After all, Shao Youxian has brought him real strength improvement several times! Considering his future research output, his value is immeasurable.

If he loses here, it will not only be a huge loss for Xiao Jian and Fortress Town, but also a heavy loss for the entire human race.

After all, so many results have been produced under such simple research conditions, which can not only promote basic theories, but also bear fruit frequently in applications...

It's not an exaggeration to say that this is the Einstein + Edison of the doomsday era, right?

"But, if that parasitic god carries something through me... wouldn't Fortress Town be finished?"

Although Shao Youxian wanted to go back a little, he still felt that something was wrong in the end.

"......Alas."

Xiao Jian sighed.

Indeed, that "parasitic god" is too troublesome, and he has been fooled without knowing it!

That invisible and formless "missing" is simply unreasonable!

What if there is really a back-up plan that even [Powang] can't see, wouldn't it implicate the entire fortress town?

"Let's do this, you come with me."

Finally, Xiao Jian chose to be responsible for everyone and send Shao Youxian back after dealing with that "god".

And the safest place in the entire courtyard is the Nanmu space deep in the "boundary wall".

When Xiao Jian pushed open the main door of the old house and took Shao Youxian into the Nanmu space, Shao Youxian was stunned.

"This, this is..." Shao Youxian's eyes were blank, "..."

Halfway through the words, Shao Youxian suddenly stopped moving, just staring at the old Nanmu stupidly, and the whole person was motionless like a piece of wood.

"Hey? What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Jian was startled and quickly dragged him out.

When Shao Youxian came out of the Nanmu space, the confusion in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he looked at Xiao Jian and said, "It's here?"

"... Do you remember where I took you just now?" Xiao Jian asked.

"Where? Didn't we just come down from upstairs?" Shao Youxian asked inexplicably.

"..." Xiao Jian frowned slightly, "Is there something wrong with your memory?"

"No? I'm fine?" Shao Youxian was stunned by Xiao Jian's question, and then thought about it and made sure that there was nothing wrong with him.

"Then come with me..." Xiao Jian brought Shao Youxian into the Nanmu space again.

However, this time, just like before, he froze as soon as he came in, staring blankly in the direction of the old Nanmu.

And after Xiao Jian pulled him out, Shao Youxian recovered.

"So, where did you take me just now?" Shao Youxian finally came back to his senses.

"I took you into this door... Can you see the scene inside the door?" Xiao Jian pointed to the Nanmu space outside the main door of the old house and asked.

"Uh, isn't this just an ordinary fog?" Shao Youxian asked tentatively.

Obviously, he couldn't see the old nanmu.

Xiao Jian frowned slightly, thought for a while, and suddenly turned back and shouted: "Da Huang! Da Huang come here!"

Not long after, Da Huang, who was watching the computer upstairs, jumped down, trotted all the way to Xiao Jian's legs, and rubbed his trouser legs with his head:

"Meow?"

"What do you see here?" Xiao Jian picked up the cat and pointed at the nanmu space and asked.

"Meow meow meow?"

Da Huang tilted his head, not knowing what cat language he was saying.

After such a long time of getting along, although Xiao Jian didn't understand, he could hear the other party's emotions to some extent.

Obviously Da Huang was a little puzzled.

Now think about it, from the first day the main door of the old house was opened, Da Huang never took a step in from beginning to end.

In addition to Da Huang, among the outsiders, only Zhang Jinyu and the little girl had been in the nanmu space when the South Five Fortress was broken.

Now thinking back, although the two of them did not show any abnormality, they never mentioned Old Nanmu either...

Xiao Jian suddenly turned around and looked into the Nanmu space.

Part of the crown of the old nanmu is bare - this is the aftermath of the "Oliteo" that destroyed the Southern Fifth Fortress and inserted a straw into it. Even now, the misty leaves that once filled the crown of the tree have not been completely restored.

But now, there is a branch with golden and black leaves in the crown of the old nanmu, as well as some prickly fruits composed of mist.

Anyway, Xiao Jian himself didn't see anything special.

Thinking like this, Xiao Jian entered the Nanmu space with the cat in his arms.

Although Dahuang looked east and west, he didn't show any reaction similar to Shao Youxian's.

Xiao Jian put the cat on the ground, and Da Huang ran away quickly.

"Forget it, there shouldn't be any danger...it's just some side effects. In order to ensure your safety during this period, can I give you some amnesia for a few hours?" Xiao Jian asked.

"Oh...yes, of course." Shao Youxian looked a little uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No, it's not...it's just that I guess it's because I'm too weak." Shao Youxian said with a bitter smile.

"How is that possible? You are very powerful... Maybe one day, all humans in the apocalypse will learn your theory!"

Xiao Jian comforted him: "Your strength does not lie in the power of intuition, but in the knowledge in your brain."

"Really, really? Thank you..."

Shao You was a little happy to be praised by Xiao Jian at first, but when he entered the Nanmu space again, the lively smile on his face immediately turned into a stupid giggle.

"It won't have any impact on IQ..." Xiao Jian frowned and exited Nanmu Space.

However, there is no other way now.

After being delayed by the [Wind Insect Egg] for a long time, Xiao Jian was a little worried about the situation and quickly switched his perspective to the raven clone.

…

In the ten-story building, the raven who had "closed his eyes and rested his mind" opened his eyes.

Then I heard bursts of noisy discussion downstairs.

"They are not dead, are they? Why has there been no news for so long?"

"No news is good news... This means everything is going well for them! If someone suddenly comes back covered in blood, that means there is a big problem!"

"...What if they are all wiped out?"

"Bah, bah, bah! How could it be! They are all experienced salvagers, how could they make such a stupid mistake as annihilating the entire army?"

"Besides, isn't there the Crow God's blessing? Look at the armor they are wearing...The golden light on it is the Crow God's blessing!"

"Yes, yes, we just need to wait patiently..."

"I don't know what good things they can salvage... preferably food."

"I hope they can bring back a few slaves, just the orcs to work hard. I think they are quite capable. When the time comes, let them cut trees for us! When the seeds given by the Crow God arrive in the future, we can also let them cultivate the land. Grow cotton, grow watermelon..."

"Then explore other worlds and dump cotton to local survivors! Then..."

"..."

Xiao Jian almost couldn't stand hearing this. The good guys are in doom. Why are they still thinking about the triangular trade?

but……

What about the group of "salvagers"?

Raven looked around and found that except for a few youngest "salvagers" who were left on guard at the door of the building, all the remaining "salvagers" including the black-haired burly man had disappeared.

Combined with the discussions of the residents of the building...

Could it be that they really went to capture "slaves"?

At this moment, cheers suddenly erupted from downstairs.

"Here it comes! Back!"

"I'm counting...one or more! Everyone is back!"

"Look at what they're holding!"

"Let's go! Go meet our heroes!"

"Let's go, let's go together! Let's go together!"

"..."

Raven looked over and saw the group of "salvageers" in large and small packages at the edge of the forest.

Combined with the [Destroyed] characteristic, Xiao Jian could easily see through the package and see the loot they plundered.

Most of them are daily necessities, some food, and finally a small part of valuables.

Chief among them is gold, followed by gemstones.

Of course, the most precious one among them must be the giant gem bigger than a coffee cup held by the strong black-haired man in his hands:

【Core of Abibas】

Inlay: Strength +15, Agility +15, Stamina +15.

(The remains of Tyrannosaurus Abibas after his death became a powerful embedded item after being stimulated and transformed.)

The more Xiao Jian looked at this gem, the more familiar it seemed...

Then after he read the small print annotations, he immediately remembered it!

Isn't this the gem that was found in the "treasure box" after the dragon died?

Although it is not as big as this [Core of Abibas], from color to texture, it is definitely the same thing!

No wonder those gems didn't have any attributes before, not even names... It turns out that special "rituals" are needed to stimulate the power inside them.

Just when Xiao Jian was thinking about how to "stimulate" the previous gem trophies, the crowd was already surrounding the triumphant "heroes" back at the foot of the building.

After a simple division of the spoils, the strong black-haired man came to the top floor with some of the most precious loot.

"Great Crow God, your most loyal followers greet you and offer you our most precious trophies!"

The black-haired sturdy man knelt on one knee, and the heavy armor on his body even smashed a shallow pit on the stone ground.

"Very good."

Raven stretched out his invisible hand and collected the spoils.

One of them was naturally [Abibas Core], and then there were two cup-like gold products, a gold seal that could be worn as a ring, and a bracelet made of unknown gems.

Except for [Abibas Core], the other spoils were exquisitely crafted, but had no attributes.

However, Xiao Jian did not dislike it. Instead, he took out the resource card that stored rocks and directly built a slightly smaller attic on the tenth-floor terrace, and made a few bookshelves in this attic.

In the end, the other three things that were offered were placed in this attic by Xiao Jian.

"I am very satisfied with the sacrifice." Raven asked, "What reward do you want?"

"We..."

The black-haired sturdy man wanted to say food, but considering that Raven had promised before, it would be a bit bad to continue to urge now.

Seeing the black-haired man in a dilemma, Xiao Jian simply chose for him:

"... Take this, you can activate the 'blessing' on your own in the future. Of course, you can also 'bless' others if necessary."

As he said, a card with birch bark pattern fell into the hands of the black-haired man.

This resource card stores 1,000 sunlight points.

Whether it is activating the inscriptions on the armor or activating the weapons in their hands, according to the average consumption of 5 points each time, these 1,000 sunlight points are enough for them to use for a long time.

It seems that the efficiency of Rune Technology in using driving force is quite high.

"Thanks to Raven God!"

After getting the ability to "transform into Superman" at any time, the black-haired man left happily.

The raven jumped to the fence and looked at the fog behind the woods.

Originally, he thought that the less than 2,000 zombies should be cleared up soon, and then the real battle would break out.

But the problem is... he was delayed for so long by the [Wind Bug Egg] before, and the other party seems to have not been able to deal with the group of zombies until now.

So, what happened?

Fire ignited in the eyes of the raven, and Xiao Jian's sight, through the eyes of the raven, began to extend forward and extend...

Through the heavy fog, passing the red-hot anchor chain, Xiao Jian's sight finally extended to the Dragon Skull City.

Here, there are beacons everywhere.

Countless dragons in the sky kept diving, spewing fire, and then pulling up...

Every time they dive, they will take away a large number of zombies.

However, more zombies continue to "flow" out from all corners of the city, gradually gathering into a sea...

The damage caused by just a few dives is not worth mentioning in the face of absolute numbers.

Looking at this doomsday scene, Xiao Jian was at a loss...

No, where did this group of green-skinned zombies come from! ? The attributes of most green-skinned zombies do not even meet the 1-star standard.

But the problem is... Isn't this number too terrifying?

Xiao Jian quickly realized the problem.

"Fuck... Zombie virus outbreak is this!?"

"..."
