The weather in Morikawa City in July is extremely hot and humid, with occasional typhoons passing through for two days. The heat is swept away and it is incredibly cool. But without the typhoon, the sky remained bright and sunny, hot and restless, making people restless and restless.
In the past, it used to be possible to maintain a good mood and rely on air conditioning, but once it gets smaller, life becomes less easy. Especially if there is something in a person's heart and they cannot ask for it, this annoyance becomes even stronger.
At this time, there were many people in the old clinic who were restless and irritable. Among them are Uncle Rong and Zhou Guangrong.
He looked at the railing outside the clinic with his kitchen knife in hand, and looked at the movements downstairs with great difficulty.
At the suggestion of Wang Zixiong, Bozi led the people to build a soft ladder on the railing outside the clinic, and then installed a row of guardrails on the four centimeter wide railing. Security personnel can stand guard above and rely on homemade telescopes to observe the movements around and downstairs. And others can also enjoy the scenery and cool off here.
As the head chef of the campsite, Uncle Rong has always been in control of the entire food, using limited ingredients and a relatively simple cooking environment to ensure that the men, women, and children in the campsite have a good appetite. Only in that way can young people have the strength to kill monsters and ensure the safety of the campsite. And others also have a joyful mood, living optimistically in this miniature apocalypse.
However, the fire control "artist" who provides others with a good mood is not in a good mood at this time.
Uncle Wei once delegated the command of the camp, originally intended to give it to Tom, but was rejected by Tom and eventually transferred to Bozi to take over.
But Bozi is not an honest and composed person at all. He runs outside every day, and as a result, the leadership of the camp returns to Uncle Wei's hands. After experiencing a series of events, Uncle Wei no longer held power as gently as before, and various rules and regulations were tightly enforced. Anyone who violated them would be punished and dealt with mercilessly. Therefore, there was no chaos in the camp and it was operating steadily and orderly.
It has been a month since Tom blew up the water pipe bridge. Bozi never stopped searching by the Lujiang River on Laopu Street, hoping to find some clues about Tom.
The Lujiang River, which was originally over 100 meters wide, has now become a truly large river over 2000 meters long. Without the passage of the Shuishui Bridge, if you want to go to Longyao Home, you can only take a detour to cross the river bridge. But for them, it's too far away and it's easy to provoke other mutated creatures, so they can only find a way by the river.
Nowadays, there has been no rain for over a month, and the water level on the river has dropped to its lowest point. Bozi tried to build a boat and wanted to cross the river to search for Tom. Today is the day for the small boat to be launched for sea trials.
But from leaving the camp in the morning until the evening in the afternoon, Bozi and others had not returned, which made Uncle Rong very anxious.
This is related to the search for Tom, how can he not take it seriously?
Tom led everyone to clean up the old shop street, and the people at the campsite all remembered Tom's kindness. When he thought of that straightforward and straightforward young man, everyone thumbed up and praised him. The elderly people here, even if they have daughters, mostly struggle outside and are not around after the micro disaster, so naturally there is no daughter to marry Tom and keep him.
According to the reconnaissance of skinny Wang Sanli, there are signs of cat and dog activity more than 20 meters west of the end of Laopu Street, and the big guy hopes that Tom can come back to lead the battle.
Apart from the original survivors of the medical camp, many of the 18 survivors rescued by Tom are not well adapted to the environment here. After all, those who can afford to buy or rent Longyao Homeland are still quite wealthy compared to the people on Laopu Street.
In their view, the entire Old Shop Street is dilapidated, dirty, messy, and belongs to the slums of Morikawa City. Before, they would never have come here.
But at present, when weighing comfort and safety, they have no choice.
Among these 18 people, only 16-year-old genius beauty Lin Meiqi and former civil servant martial arts fighter Wang Zixiong are the most unconventional.
In their view, the dilapidated old shop street is a different architectural style, but they really like it.
Wang Zixiong's skills can be said that none of Bozi's subordinates, along with Bozi himself, have been able to defeat him. And due to his cheerful and straightforward personality, without any affectation, he immediately got along with Bozi and his group.
As for Lin Meiqi, as soon as she arrived at the campsite, she went straight into the cardboard laboratory under the guidance of Uncle Wei's grandson, Qi Xiangtian, and Tianzi. She had a similar odor with the old iron slag man and discussed the application of crystals and ironware.
After the baptism of the Battle of Shuishuiqiao, Lu Qiuman and her best friend Zhu Yihong quickly adjusted their mentality and enthusiastically devoted themselves to various tasks shortly after arriving at the camp.
Feng Hanyun, who possesses professional nursing skills as a nurse, started his old profession and became a professional doctor and nurse in the medical camp. Then more and more people went out to explore the injuries caused by mutated insects, and more and more people entered the medical room built for her by Bozi to treat these minor injuries.
This made her boyfriend Zhao Xifeng very dissatisfied, guarding her side every day and watching every injured person who came in. I feel that every injured person is intentionally hurting themselves, so I can take this opportunity to show off his girlfriend Feng Hanyun.
Feng Hanyun gradually fell in love with this kind of life that was needed by people. Although it was evident that many people's injuries were minor issues, she still enjoyed it and focused on treating each injured person's wounds. It made Zhao Xifeng feel both depressed and irritable.
And there's also Tom's old colleague, who used to often throw blame at Tom's department manager, Liang Pingchuan, in the company. He's already a good person at marketing. After only half a day at the campsite, I finally figured out the personnel structure inside. Directly following behind Uncle Wei and flattering him, he couldn't help but show off his relationship with Tom. In just two days, Uncle Wei was coaxed to a happy smile.
But the good times didn't last long. He thought he had won Uncle Wei's trust and gained some small power so that he could continue to act recklessly. When he finally used his power to make others work for him, he ran into Lin Meiqi. The conversation he had with Tom when they reunited, this 16-year-old beauty, was heard in his ears and never forgotten. On the spot, he turned over and slapped Tom in the face. Now everyone in the camp knew that the new Liang Pingchuan used to wear small shoes for Tom in the company and even threatened to dismiss him.
As a result, Liang Pingchuan, who had only been living a three-day life under the guise of a fox and a tiger, fell to the bottom of his position in the camp. The big guy no longer wanted to deal with him, and even the generous person like Uncle Wei, who didn't give him a face, kept a watchful eye when communicating with him.
So Liang Pingchuan hated Lin Meiqi. It was this despicable little girl who spread rumors and ruined his image, giving him the opportunity to become the leader of the camp.
It's just that Lin Meiqi often stays in the cardboard laboratory and rarely goes out, so he can't even seek revenge. This also made him wonder, "Why does such a young and beautiful girl like to hang out with a bad old man? If there is an Oedipus plot, she shouldn't be looking for such an old one. Can't she find me? Or is it a Oedipus plot?"
A person who is passionate about exploiting power certainly cannot understand the world of technology researchers.
In the eyes of this 16-year-old girl who enjoys researching various things, the theory and thinking style of the iron slag old man, who comes from an engineer background, is very similar to that of someone who frequently enters and exits the laboratory. Now that Tom is not here, the cardboard box laboratory of the old iron slag man has naturally become her most interesting place.
Just the various weapons and armor prototypes made by the old man in the laboratory are enough to captivate her.
It's just different from Tom's free style. The shape of things made by Old Iron Man is standard and honest. At first sight, they are old antiques that have not been baptized by the second wind turbine in anime. However, even so, the application of energy conducting material technology, combined with the metal mind control technology she brought back, is enough for this generation of people to delve into it without even thinking about it, regardless of the pillow.
On the railing outside the house, Uncle Wei anxiously waited for the good news that Bozi had brought back. In the cardboard laboratory, a group of old and young technical enthusiasts looked at a folding sword on the shelf, showing an ecstatic expression. Beside them, there was also a 9-year-old boy who looked at them with admiration in his eyes.
This big sword is not a size that ordinary people can use, naturally it is reserved for Tom wearing the Old Street Zero armor. But if you are not wearing armor, you can also fold it into a stick by touching the level 2 green crystal on the handle.
This is the inspiration that Lin Meiqi drew from Tom's belt made sword. Her design goal is to enable the armed warriors of Old Street Armor to transform their weapons into different types according to different combat situations and the situation of different mutated monsters, in order to cope with different situations.
It's not a problem to have an old man with iron slag to make this. But the real reason why she spent a month was innovation.
After activating the power mode with the red crystal, Tom cannot use other abilities with other crystals, even if it is the same speed mode as the red crystal. If you want to switch abilities, you need to first stop the current ability and wait for three seconds before switching to the second ability. This situation is called the cooldown time of the ability.
So if Tom activates the power mode to use this weapon, if he wants to turn the big sword in his hand into a stick. You need to first stop resonating with the red crystal, wait for 3 seconds, and then issue a transformation command with the green crystal on the weapon handle to turn the weapon into a spear or iron rod.
On the battlefield, a three second pause interval is deadly.
From the current perspective, this technology is not practical.
But after a month of trial and error, Lin Meiqi finally overcame this difficult problem.
"Xiao Yong, it's your turn!" Lin Meiqi smiled and said to the 9-year-old boy behind her.
"Okay, Sister Meiqi!" 9-year-old Liu Zhiyong was eager to give it a try, his face flushed with excitement. "It will definitely succeed, Sister Meiqi. This way, we can help Brother Tom create more convenient weapons."
Liu Zhiyong was a newly awakened individual discovered by Bozi ten days after Tom left. His abilities are similar to Tom's, both of which are able to resonate with the red crystal and gain strength enhancement. However, through Level 3 Red Crystal, Tom can gain 4.5 times his strength, while he can only gain 2 times.
Moreover, since it is still small now, its own strength is small, and the amplified power of 2 is actually similar to that of adults.
Coincidentally, Lin Meiqi needed help with her experiment, so he was naturally dispatched to the cardboard laboratory as an assistant.
I saw a level 2 red crystal inlaid on his arm guard. After activating his power, his glowing arm lifted an iron block, proving that his power enhancement was working.
Then he grabbed the handle of the large sword on the shelf with his other hand and touched the emerald embedded in the handle. The sword quickly contracted and folded, transforming into a thick stick in just one second.
"It's done!" Lin Meiqi jumped up and waved her arm, "Yeah! You don't need to switch crystals to transform the weapon. This design is successful, haha!"
