The wilderness is very dangerous at night, but it is relatively close to Orchid Town and there are only a few wandering corpse dogs. Plus he has a motorcycle, so it will be relatively safe.

Before it got dark, he found a big stone more than three meters high and set up a small tent under it. Then he washed his hands, opened cans, cooked noodles, and had a delicious meal.

That night, apart from the occasional barking of a corpse dog in the distance, nothing special happened.

A night without words...

At dawn, Chen Xing woke up. Sleeping in the wilderness was really a last resort. Last night, he used rocks and motorcycles to form a relatively safe angle. Then he laid several warning traps. If not

There shouldn't be much of a problem when encountering humans.

After boiling some hot water and eating a piece of compressed biscuit, Chen Xing got on the motorcycle and returned to the place where he killed the living corpse yesterday. He raised his head and rode slowly, carefully searching every part of the gray land. Generally speaking,

Where should the entrance be?

Generally speaking, the entrance should be at the place where the living corpse crawled out. But the area is too large, and some clues must be found before digging.

About half an hour later, he found a rusty water pipe, so he took out a military shovel and dug holes along the water pipe. In order to avoid being seen by people passing nearby, he would spread the soil flatly every once in a while.

around.

In this way, you have to walk closer to see the straight hole in the ground, which greatly increases the concealment. Travelers in the wilderness will not take the initiative to approach another traveler unless they are confident that their strength is far superior to that of the other traveler. Both parties will maintain

Enough safe distance to facilitate evacuation at any time.

Digging a hole is a huge project. In addition, after digging for a long time and stopping for a while, Chen Xing only dug five or six meters down. He covered the entrance of the hole with a tarpaulin, drove back to the big rock, and rested for a while.

In the evening, continue digging the next day.

"Dudu..."

While digging, the black watch suddenly sounded a beep. Chen Xing opened his sleeves and took a look.

"Yeah!" Chen Xing clenched his fists and shouted to encourage himself. Although the overall level is still low, every little bit is a little bit, and the little things add up. One day, he will climb to the "elite level" combat power.

In this world, combat power levels are generally divided into elite level, guard level, lord level, king level, and emperor level.

The standard for an elite level is a constitution of 25 or more, agility of 15 or more, and any one of strength and spiritual power of 25 or more. Through exercise alone, it is difficult for most purely human force-sensitive bodies to exceed 20 in the three items, and they must be injected with "attribute-enhancing potions."

"Talent improvement. Spiritual power depends entirely on talent. Some people are naturally powerful and can absorb spiritual energy, condense spiritual pools, and even swallow up the world, drink from hundreds of rivers, and open up the boundless spiritual sea without the assistance of drugs. Some people are born with lack of resources and cannot fight.

No amount of strengthening potions will help.

Only those who have reached the elite level can be regarded as warriors in the true sense, and it is also the minimum standard for obtaining a noble title. Otherwise, they are not in the class.

In the United Kingdom of Ambergris, elite warriors can automatically obtain the title of knight as long as they serve for more than ten years. If they have sufficient military merit, they can also obtain the title of baron.

The standard for guard level is very vague. The flexible range is very large, and there are no rigid requirements for personal attributes. Because in actual combat, in addition to personal attributes, it also depends on natural abilities, combat skills, experience, and what can be done.

Spells, etc. A person with all attributes of 50 is likely to be killed head-on by a person with only 20 attributes but very good natural abilities.

Therefore, the evaluation criteria for the garrison level mainly come from military exploits. After accumulating to a certain level, you can obtain the title of "Guardian of the Wilderness" and own the fiefdom of a town.

As for the later lord level, king level, and emperor level, Chen Xing has only heard about them, but does not have any in-depth understanding. A low-level mercenary does not need to know too much.

However, according to scientists' theories, the physical strength of "carbon-based life" is difficult to be higher than thirty times that of standard humans. In other words, the limit of the three attributes of a force-sensitive body is 299. As for spiritual power, it is theoretically unlimited

. So some scientists believe that spiritual power is the key point for carbon-based life to transcend its limits.

Although this is said in theory, in fact, people with more than 100 force-sensitive body attributes are already very rare. Of course, there are also more than 150, but those are all legendary levels. And when attributes

When it exceeds 90, the body density has exceeded the detection range of the black meter and the specific value cannot be measured, which is commonly known as "explosion of the meter".

Chen Xing's goal in his previous life was to become an elite mercenary. After working hard for fifteen years, he was one step away from his goal when he was slapped away by the Great Demon of the Abyss.

Since God gave him a chance to start again, no matter what, he had to become a guard. Being a mayor and holding the soldiers of a town is still very majestic. At least for Chen Xing in his previous life, the mayor was already

He is an unreachable big shot.

On the fourth day of digging, the ground suddenly sank and collapsed. Fortunately, Chen Xing was prepared and tied a rope around his waist, connecting the motorcycle to the rivet nails on the ground, so he did not fall.

It was pitch dark below, so Chen Xing took out a flashlight and shined it on it. In the incandescent beam, there was dust and dirt everywhere.

He relaxed the rope, dropped down, and soon touched the ground. Looking around, it was an underground space of hundreds of square meters. There were many large water tanks around, some tens of meters high, or standing vertically.

Or they are lying sideways, connected to countless thick water pipes, half hidden in the mud, but there is not much rust on the surface.

The top is arched, with a large hole of five or six meters in diameter. And he came down from here. Because a large amount of soil fell from the gap, the ground rose a lot. From the equipment buried in the soil

It looks like it's at least ten meters deep.

Based on past experience, he quickly determined that this was the "impurity precipitation room" of the water station, the first step in the water purification process.

Although he found no danger, Chen Xing still pulled out his pistol and explored carefully.

"Wow..."

When he was close to a water tank, the soil on the ground suddenly arched up, and a living corpse pulled out the soil and emerged from the ground. Chen Xing quickly pulled out the dagger, and when half of the living corpse's body was just unearthed, he held it backwards and struck it.

Plunge it into its temples and twist it hard!

The living corpse waved its arms randomly and soon lowered its head.

Chen Xing wiped the blood from the dagger on his pants and put it back on the armed belt around his waist. Some people like to tie the dagger to their calf, but Chen Xing is not used to it, and it affects his movement a little and is easy to get bumped.

After exploring for a while, another living corpse came out. Chen Xing followed the same method and killed him with one knife. He didn't have much bullets now, so he would save what he could.

After about ten minutes, he searched all the places. Except for two living dead people and a lot of giant water jars, there was nothing special.

However, he also found the location of the entrance. He only needed to dig down a few meters to open it.

Chen Xing rested for a while, ate something, and then started digging.

"Shashasha..."

In the quiet and dark underground space, the sound of scraping shovels and sand echoed, which seemed particularly permeable.

Chen Xing III was a man and had been a mercenary for more than ten years. He was used to life and death. As long as there was no immediate danger, he would not be afraid.

"Kekeke..."

Half an hour later, Chen Xing dug up the ground and exposed most of the iron door. Then he twisted the lock and opened the door.

"Wow..."

The moment the iron door opened, a large amount of soil poured down, forming a small slope. The flashlight shone inside and saw black and white tile floors, long benches, and rows of metal lockers.

Chen Xing took a look around and found that there was nothing inside, so he felt relieved and slid inwards along the slope.

"Wow!" The moment he entered the door, Chen Xing suddenly felt wind in the back of his head and hurriedly rolled forward. Then he pulled out his pistol and shot continuously at the living corpse hiding behind the door.

“Bang bang bang bang bang!”

Chen Xing was so frightened that he fired bullets for free until the living corpse fell to the ground.

"Huh..." He wiped the cold sweat with his sleeve and exhaled. There were only a few bullets left, and it was surrounded by dangers, so he could no longer explore.

However, now that we have arrived at the dressing room, let’s see what we gain first.

"Kakaka..."

He walked to a row of lockers, pulled them, and found that they were all locked. He had to pick up a shovel, smash and pry.

"Bang bang bang!"

The huge sound echoed in the small space, making people's hearts palpitate, for fear of disturbing the monster hiding in the dark.

"Crack!"
