Doomsday Run (1): New year
The construction of the private research institute was very smooth. Backed by the Cheng Group, it could provide researchers with an advanced scientific research environment and generous remuneration. With the joint efforts of major headhunting companies, the research institute quickly recruited many suitable researchers. The team established a number of research groups, and those with rapid progress had been verified based on the ideas and directions provided by Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian.
Less than a week later, the real world ushered in New Year’s Eve, and the year would change from 2020 to 2021.
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize sat on the edge of the roof of the Xia family’s home, watching the fireworks blooming over the square not far away side by side.
“This year, I really don’t know if it’s going well or not.” Xia Ruize laughed softly, “Inexplicably involved in the infinite world, fortunately I met you, the fate is really wonderful.”
Cheng Huaiqian gently stroked his lover’s back, his lover’s figure reflected in his pupils, and smiled freely:
“Meeting you is my greatest luck, and I am very happy with the result.
I have already made a will and found a trusted agency. Even if there is an accident between the two of us, the parents of both parties can still be able to live comfortably. I have no regrets in real life. We earn how long we can live in the endless world. “
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian clasped their fingers and snuggled together tightly, drawing endless strength from each other.
Although the road ahead was difficult, they had each other, not alone, walking together.
The Lord God gave them a new life and gave them the opportunity to know each other. They were already very satisfied. In the new year, let’s continue to work tirelessly to survive!
A week later, at the agreed time, Xia Ruize, Cheng Huaiqian and Gao Hexuan, under the reminder of the system, returned to the endless world and appeared in the team space at the same time.
“hey……”
Seeing the figures of the two bosses, Gao Hexuan’s nervous heart finally relaxed.
You know, no matter how long they stayed in the endless world, the time in the real world would basically be still, which meant that if they returned to the endless world at a different time, who knew if they could really meet.
Fortunately, after joining the team, as long as they agreed on a time to return together before parting, the Lord God would bring them in at the same time.
After half a month of deliberation, the three made a final decision on the various development directions listed earlier, and after a final discussion, they went straight to the main temple.
Xia Ruize did not blindly pursue new bloodline skills, but upgraded the abilities he already had, first upgrading two bloodlines.
After he spent 12,000 Survival Points to buy the [Juvenile Bright Elf] bloodline, he could purchase the [Mature Bright Elf] Bloodline by spending 13,000 Survival Points.
After the bloodline was upgraded, not only the original talent skills would be upgraded, but also new skills would be acquired.
He also spent 4500 Survival Points upgrade the bloodline [A Preliminary Exploration of the mind] to [In-depth Exploration of the mind] bloodline.
These two bloodlines complemented each other and could maximize Xia Ruize’s advantages in mental power.
After getting the bloodline, Xia Ruize upgraded himself two more skills.
He spent 4000 Survival Points and 2000 Survival Points respectively to upgrade the skills [Illusion of the heart] and [The spring of a withered tree] to Yellow Top Grade and Yellow Mid-Grade.
These bloodlines and skills were the most practical abilities verified by Xia Ruize. After this round of generous upgrades, his overall strength had doubled.
In addition, before leaving the Endless World last time, Xia Ruize had organized his space well, cleaned up the weapons and equipment that were reused in the initial stage and put them on the black market. When he came back this time, he collected 10,000 in survival points.
Combined with the earned points in the mission world, Xia Ruize directly bought a silver low-grade weapon, the [Light Arrow] worth 16,000 Survival Points.
When adapting to his new weapon while practicing the auxiliary function, he was amazed, it was indeed a powerful weapon that had leaped up a level.
Like Xia Ruize, Cheng Huaiqian, who had a lot of survival points, also prioritized upgrading his bloodline.
Cheng Huaiqian spent 16,000 points to upgrade the bloodline of [Devil´s First Life] to the bloodline of [Demon God], and the bloodline of [Blood Viscount] cost 9,000 points to upgrade to the [Blood Earl].
Afterwards, he also bought a silver low-grade weapon [Sharp Sword] worth 15,000 Survival Points with the Survival Points recovered from the old weapons.
As for Gao Hexuan, his original bloodline was very ordinary, and he did not waste his survival points to upgrade it, but purchased a high-potential bloodline [primary emerging human] worth 10,000 points.
And after a lot of practice and adaptation, he directly spent 11,000 points to upgrade to the [Intermediate Emerging Human] bloodline. This bloodline could maximize his interest and advantages in computer networking.
After making a frantic purchase in the main temple, the three of them bought dozens of hours to practice auxiliary functions, and through countless extreme challenges in danger, they guaranteed to exert the full power of their bloodlines and weapons. The survival point spent turned into strength.
During this period, a part of the practice time was specially set aside to practice the cooperation between the three of them.
Gao Hexuan had seldom bought training time before, it was expensive and he could not see any special effect, also, he was unwilling to spent the hard-earned survival point in it.
But after following the two bosses for a five-day, day and night extreme training, he finally felt the effect of practicing auxiliary functions, and finally knew how the bosses made it, they had to put themselves in life and death situations again and again in order to practice the ability to escape from the dangers of life.
So that when Gao Hexuan just left the endless world, and was out of the intensive training environment, after receiving the new task prompt, Gao Hexuan was nervous and looking forward to it.
The two bosses and teammates had already completed three tasks in the bamboo silk area. In theory, they could be promoted to the next area. On the contrary, he entered the endless world first. He had just completed two tasks in the bamboo silk area. The big guys were here purely to accompany him, he must perform well, and the two bosses must not regret accepting him!
…
When Xia Ruize opened his eyes, he found himself sitting in the dark corner of a carriage, his body swaying back and forth with the bumps of the car.
Cheng Huai, who opened his eyes at the same time, put his hands behind Xia Ruize subconsciously, and half hugged his lover in his arms.
Xia Ruize’s mental strength swept away and found that the two were in the carriage of a moving truck. This truck had an extremely grim appearance and seemed to be on guard. There were two drivers in the cab of the truck, and fifteen men in camouflage and holding wooden sticks in the back compartment.
There were four such trucks in front and rear, driving in a row on the deserted road.
Xia Ruize sat in the corner of the carriage closest to the cab, Cheng Huaiqian sat next to him, and Gao Hexuan sat opposite him. The three quickly determined the positions of their teammates. Xia Ruize immediately established a heart net, which was equivalent to opening the team’s internal channel.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian calmly observed the surrounding environment. Gao Hexuan glanced at his teammates who were sitting opposite each other while observing, and his heart was full of excitement.
After nearly ten mission worlds, he felt flustered every time he started, and this was the first time he had a feeling of “it’s done” in his heart.
“Ahem, everyone, I’m your team leader, Qin Feng, you will be directly responsible for the next tasks.
I won’t go around in circles and say it directly. This time our mission is extremely arduous and very dangerous. Of course, after the mission is successful, we will get rich rewards. More importantly, this mission will be beneficial to our base and humans.”
At this time, a young man sitting on the outermost side of the carriage took the initiative to introduce himself.
The three of Xia Ruize immediately turned their attention to him, listened patiently, and collected information before the mission was released.
Qin Feng continued to introduce:
“Our mission this time is to rescue, and the rescue target is Dr. Mu Ruihe. Three days ago, the future base received a distress signal from Dr. Mu Ruihe, and also received Dr. Mu Ruihe’s research progress.
Before the cataclysm, Dr. Mu Ruihe was a leading figure in the field of biomedicine. After the catastrophe, Dr. Mu has been devoted to researching the principles and coping methods of the cataclysm, and has made certain progress.
It’s just that the reserve materials in the research base where Dr. Mu was hiding was exhausted, and the follow-up research could not continue. Dr. Mu sent a distress signal to the outside world, hoping that the survivor base could rescue him and his research results.
After discussion, the base decided to rescue Dr. Mu. “
Qin Feng’s introduction made the faces of many people in the car moved, and they were obviously very interested in this Dr. Mu. No one interrupted, and everyone quietly listened to Qin Feng’s introduction:
“Dr. Mu’s research base is located in the western mountainous area of Yuanhai Province, 740 kilometers away from the future base. According to the road conditions fed back by the satellite, the base has planned three feasible routes, and sent three rescue teams to the target area at the same time.
Our mission is to return Dr. Mu and his research results to the base safely! “
As Qin Feng’s narration ended, Xia Ruize’s mind also had a task reminder:
[After the cataclysm, the doomsday comes, and human beings encounter great challenges. When it comes to the survival of the race, the surviving human beings, let’s fight!
Main Mission: 1. Survive for thirty days 2. Kill ten alien species
Mission Completion: 2,000 Survival Points
Mission failure: deduct 1,000 survival points]
“Thirty days? It’s the first time I’ve encountered a mission with such a long-time limit.”
Cheng Huaiqian’s voice sounded in the heart net with a smile, and he was very interested in the background of this task world.
With the background of the apocalyptic wasteland, they could act a little more arrogantly, and they didn’t have to be as cautious as the last mission and dare not leave traces everywhere.
“It’s all on you.”
Cheng Huaiqian smiled expectantly at Gao Hexuan who was sitting across from him, and immediately made the little guy excited and acted immediately.
Unlike the previous world where he still had to look for computers everywhere, the bloodline of [Emerging Humans] implanted the intellectual brain directly behind Gao Hexuan’s brain, and now he was a biological computer himself. As long as there was a network in the mission world, he would have a very large advantage in the network.
Just like now, Qin Feng was still talking about the main points of the rescue mission, and Gao Hexuan was already trying to invade the “future base” and satellite control background that Qin Feng said.
It was the first time for him to take on such an important task, and he was nervous in his heart, but he was skilled and experienced, and cautiously tried to connect to the world’s network. Fortunately, they had just left the future base, and Gao Hexuan really touched the local area network in the future base.
