Evolved From Polluting the World

Chapter 24: blue blood pearl

At five o'clock in the morning, Qiao Xun woke up on time from the half-study and half-dormancy state.

He got up and walked to the window, looking at Lu Xianyi's house. Her bedroom light just came on.

Standing by the window, Lu Xianyi immediately smiled and waved when she saw Qiao Xun opposite.

Qiao Xun turned his head and left.

Lu Xianyi snorted, what, so cold.

After quickly washing up, Qiao Xun and Lu Xianyi met on the street outside.

Last night, they prepared everything they should prepare and put them in a storage backpack and carried them on their backs.

Before Lu Xianyi came, she had prepared a lot of advanced equipment from the 73rd Arsenal, all of which were carried in her backpack. Technology and talent are the most efficient way to fight.

Today is the bounty day. Qiao Xun originally thought that there should be many people going to the bounty hall, but from the sparse crowd on the street, there are not many.

"Are you all ready?" Joe asked.

"Um."

"Then go."

The two acted, the pace quickened, and quickly walked into the 4-car rail elevator to the reward hall in the public square.

Under the dim street lights, the public square is not lively, it has the feeling of a small county town square in the morning.

In general, public squares are used as market stalls by passengers living in ordinary areas. Many passengers will use some items that they do not use to legally earn points, standard equipment, pollutants, source metals, series of runes, etc.

But on the bounty day, stalls are not allowed in the public square, so it seems even more deserted.

Qiao Xun saw the thin and dark love at a glance, standing under a street lamp, the dim light illuminated him even thinner, his complexion was yellow and listless.

This kind of spirit makes people feel very unreliable, so that Qiao Xun can't help thinking about whether the advantages of bringing him outweigh the disadvantages.

After seeing Qiao Xun and Lu Xianyi, Ai immediately waved to indicate that she was here.

"I think he's a little unreliable."

Lu Xianyi whispered.

"Be on guard. If there is a problem, don't be merciless and solve it directly."

"it is good."

The two agreed on their attitude towards love.

Ai rubbed his hands together and walked in front of Qiao Xun and Lu Xianyi angrily. His ten fingers were still wrapped with gauze, but there was no blood stain, and he looked much better.

Qiao Xun thought to himself, this resilience is also quite good.

Love smiled reluctantly,

"You are here."

Because it was too cold and too dry, he had skin on his face, and if he laughed a little hard, he would feel faint pain.

Joe asked:

"You so early?"

"I was afraid that you would come early and wait for me, so I just came early."

Ai turned around and walked towards the reward hall, saying as she walked:

"Let's go, go to the lobby first. I'll tell you how to choose a bounty task."

The two followed behind his ass.

"Generally speaking, it is best for newbies like you to choose a team reward task. Although the reward is not as high as a single reward reward, the risk is very low. After you are familiar with it, slowly choose a task with a high reward. Of course, I don't I know the specific strength of the two of you, so it is the first time to test the water and choose the Safe-R level with the lowest difficulty."

With that said, they came to the bounty hall.

Compared with the luxurious decoration of entertainment facilities such as casinos, paralysis clubs, and private customization centers, the reward hall is very simple and unpretentious, with a feeling of a detective office of the last century.

As soon as I walked in, the staff member who immediately carried the clockwork on his back said with a smile:

"Welcome to the reward hall."

Love stepped forward, widened her eyes and said:

"We take a team of 3-5 people for a bounty."

"Okay, here's the list of bounty tasks."

The staff pressed the palm-sized button next to it, a white curtain fell from the ceiling, and then a projector behind it turned on, and the film roll clucked.

Qiao Xun thought to himself, it is still displayed in this way... Is it really the era of the Industrial Revolution?

Maybe this train was born during the first and second industrial revolutions, he thought.

Steam locomotives, European palace decorations, old-fashioned film projectors, large mechanical gear structures...

"please choose."

Ai pinched her chin with her fingers, and looked at the densely packed bounties displayed on the screen with a serious face.

Qiao Xun looked at it, there are five levels:

Safe-R, General-R, Risky-R, Danger-R, Nightmare-R.

Love looked at it for a while, then said:

"Second to last."

Qiao Xun's eyes fell on the penultimate reward task——

Collect 10 Blue Blood Pearls (SR) and reward 60 points.

The staff asked:

"sure?"

Ai turned to look at Qiao Xun and the two of them,

"Any comments?"

Qiao Xun and Lu Xianyi shook their heads.

"That's it."

"Please show the points card for the three of you."

The three of them handed in their scorecards. The staff put the three scorecards on a book with densely incomprehensible swash characters, and after a while, a wave of gray-white ripples stirred.

"Okay, the three bounty tasks have been received. Please go to the bounty transfer station and wait for the train to stop."

Qiao Xun looked at the curtain again, and sure enough, the original penultimate reward mission had disappeared.

Ai looked at Qiao Xun and Lu Xianyi and said:

"Okay, let's go to the transfer station and wait."

Lu Xianyi smiled and said:

"It feels like buying a ticket on a train."

Love doesn't know much about things on the mainland and doesn't say anything.

Joe Tour said:

"Standardized management model, I have to say, this train follows a very perfect order. This is really impressive, I just don't know whether such a management model has always existed, or has it entered the vision of human society. imported."

Lu Xianyi thought about it and said:

"I think it should be introduced later. After all, from the perspective of the internal facilities, it looks like a product from the beginning of the last century or even the last century."

Qiao Xun nodded and said nothing.

In fact, what made him curious the most was how these "robots" with clockwork work, and why they have almost the same self-consciousness as normal people.

The three went to the transfer station from the rail elevator next to the reward hall.

In the elevator, Joe patrolled:

"Why are there so few people in the bounty hall?"

"Small bounty days are like this. After all, there is only one day, so you won't earn many points, and you are prone to being accidentally dropped by the train. Generally speaking, there are more people on big bounty days that last for a week starting from the first of each month."

"Large bounty day? Why didn't the instruction manual given by the official train state it?"

Aiwang looked at the top of the elevator and said faintly:

"If everything is written on the manual, how will you be exploited. These are all stamped out one by one. Information is poor, and the means of production itself is the main reason for the formation of classes. The essence of the train is to exploit the bottom, serve the top, and keep going. Transfer resources to high-rise buildings. On the bright side, the people at the bottom, that is, the livestock, are train workers. When they go out, aren't they the animals who are responsible for labor and need to be slaughtered? Our batch is stuck in the middle and can't get up. , and those who dare not go down, can only survive in the cracks."

Qiao Xun was a little surprised. He didn't expect that a fifteen-year-old love could say such a thing.

"You know a lot."

"My father used to be a sociologist. He taught me the major principles. I usually go around in various circles and have some small insights."

Qiao Xun asked with a smile:

"Then did your father teach you how to resist oppression?"

Ai immediately shrank her head, closed her mouth and didn't say a word, and kept using her eyes to signal Qiao Xun to stop talking. He was very nervous, he stretched out his tendons on the back of his hands, and fine beads of sweat immediately secreted from his forehead.

Seeing this reaction, Qiao Xun and Lu Xianyi looked at each other and looked at each other.

The people in the transfer station were also sparse, and all of them didn't look very good. They wore heavy marching uniforms and sat motionless on the bench against the wall and waited. It looks like I would never come here if I didn't really have points to eat.

Their depressed and dull expressions made the air here seem dry and cold.

At 05:59, the broadcast came from above the transfer station:

"Dear passengers and friends who are ready to go, the train has stopped at the west coast of Sumatra Island in western Indonesia. The pollution has spread from 10km from the west coast of the island to the surrounding area, forming a large-scale pollution area. There are pollutants that interfere with the weather and geography. Please be careful. .The train will stop for 18 hours and leave again at 0:00 midnight, don't miss the boarding time."

After the broadcast, it was exactly 6:00 in the morning.

With the release of the pressure relief valve, the misty dust mist spread rapidly, wrapping the people at the transfer station.

The fog is sticky and smells like insecticide.

Another broadcast sounded:

"Spiritual beacons have been released for all passengers and friends, please prepare to go."

Joe Patrol Love:

"What is a spiritual beacon?"

"The pollution in large-scale pollution areas is very serious. Staying in it for a long time can easily pollute the spirit, resulting in a decrease in the mental threshold Sanity. The mental threshold decreases, and the comprehensive combat capability will decrease in an all-round way. The mental beacon allows us to observe our own mental threshold, and Prevent the mental threshold from being too low."

Qiao Xun nodded.

The entire car door in front of the transfer station opened, and everyone jumped down like soldiers.

The three of Qiao Xun followed closely behind.

As soon as I went out, I immediately felt the tidal sea breeze. Cold air poured into the body from all directions.

The landing site was not land, but a shallow beach, so when the three of them went, most of their trouser legs were wet. The icy sea water erodes their skin like needles.

Qiao Xun was very puzzled. Sumatra, Indonesia, has a typical tropical rainforest climate, with the lowest annual average temperature of 25-27°C. Even if it is in the sea now, it shouldn’t be so cold.

Because of the advanced "Atlan Glory" talent of "Amphibian", his sensitivity to temperature has risen to a new level, which can be said to be a human flesh thermometer. The current body temperature is minus 23 degrees Celsius.

Joe asked:

"Why is it so cold?"

Ai's teeth chattered, shaking her shoulders and saying:

"There are polluting organisms that can control the weather. We generally call them meteorological species. The climate in the polluted area is very unstable, changeable and extreme. One second is freezing cold, and the next second may be scorching hot."

Qiao Xun knew that Lu Xianyi's physical strength was not particularly high, and asked:

"How are you?"

Lu Xianyi was normal and said softly:

"everything is normal."

If the physical strength is not high, then black technology will make up for it. After seeing the black radiation patch on Lu Xianyi's collarbone under his neck, Qiao Xun immediately understood the reason and nodded.

As for love, Qiao Xun can't control it. He cannot be unconditionally good to someone who has not gained his trust.

The three of them walked into the mist with water.

The gray-white mist is very thick and watery, and just walking in it for a while will make the hair wet.

Ai trembled with cold, and her lips became dark blue.

Qiao Xun couldn't stand it anymore, and asked with a frown:

"How did you become an Evolver with such a poor physique?"

"Because of my parents."

"..."

This is why "Tower" has been cracking down on related households. My own quality is not enough, relying on relationships...

"You won't freeze to death halfway, will you?"

Love shivered and said nothing.

Looking at his appearance, Qiao Xun felt that it was really possible.

Although Qiao Xun didn't want to give him too many benefits, he also didn't want him to die too early.

"Come closer to me."

Love walks to Joe's side.

Qiao Xun used his talent to "govern the yang", which generated heat energy to create a warming space and enveloped love.

Although Ai could feel the warmth of an air-conditioned room, Qiao Xun barely raised the temperature to the point where he could not freeze to death, about seven or eight degrees above zero.

But that alone is much better for love.

The blue blood pearls in the SR class bounty come from a tainted creature called the "Blue-Blooded Soft-shelled Clam". A blue-blooded soft-shelled mussel has only one pearl, and this pearl is their source of energy and is also the part with the highest concentration of runes. After the blue blood pearl is ground, it can be dialyzed out of runes to make a series of runes for upgrading.

Of course, dialysis technology has always been a secret technology of various countries and forces, and ordinary evolutionaries cannot know it. There are processing plants in some black markets, but they are expensive.

Therefore, those individual evolutionary people often take the risk and choose to directly digest blue blood pearl powder. This can also have an advanced effect, but it is often accompanied by a continuous increase in the concentration of pollution in the body. If it cannot be effectively controlled, it will eventually be alienated into a polluted organism.

Love felt much better, the color of her lips gradually recovered, she pursed her lips and said:

"I know of a place where there are large numbers of blue-blooded soft-shelled mussels."

"Have you been here?"

"My parents brought me here."

"Could it be that they taught you a lot of special stuff?"

Love did not speak, her eyebrows lowered slightly.

Qiao Xun thought about it, if he was a parent, he would probably leave a way out for his children before doing big things.

He is like ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ If it is conjectured, then love is indeed a humanoid intelligence database.

However, this information base is not stable.

Love leads the way.

They landed on the beach and looked around, completely lost in the movement of the others.

Visibility is very low in the thick gray and white fog, and it is almost impossible to see the road from a few steps away.

The surroundings were very quiet, not even the sound of the tide came in.

Maybe these fogs can block the transmission of sound.

There is a coconut grove on the beach. In this season, there should be no leaves, but coconuts about the size of two basketballs grow.

When he got closer, he saw that the coconut had twisted eyes, like swirls.

Green saliva dripped from the corners of my eyes.

The eyes on the coconut watched Qiao Xun and the three pass by without blinking.
