Chapter 185 Finding the Fisherman
On the flanks of the insect swarm's advance, Cang Nian quickly surpassed their pace.
Because the northern part was the last section to be ignited during the construction of the firebreak, the fire did not spread very wide there.
In the south, one needs to cross a river. The Zerg may not be afraid of water, but they don't like it.
Therefore, Cangnian estimates that this is the reason why the queen chose this path.
The instinctive principle of proximity.
But it was precisely this principle of proximity that led them to move in the direction that Kangcheng was located in!
"Ow~!"
Feeling his body exhausted, Cangnian growled at the little sable.
The little sable and Cangnian had a very high level of understanding, and the little sable instantly understood his meaning. A white nut, about the size of an orange, slightly flat, and exuding an enticing aroma, appeared on its little paw.
Then, the little sable threw the white nut forward with all its might, briefly allowing it to surpass the old man.
Ouch~!
With a light leap, Cang Nian caught the white nut precisely in one bite, chewed it, and swallowed it smoothly.
Within seconds, Cang Nian felt a surge of heat spreading through his body, and his exhausted body regained its vitality!
This is the basic effect of the Spirit-Nourishing Pine Nuts, which can restore one's condition to its peak!
If it were just the simple amount of exercise required to build a firebreak, it wouldn't be much for an elderly person who runs thousands of kilometers a day to train.
However, when killing that little insect queen, Cangnian used the second-tier overlimit burst of the other four attributes besides endurance, which put a great burden on his body.
Although after killing the opponent, his slaughter skill evolved into an execution skill, which improved him in all aspects.
However, the energy consumed during the evolutionary process can be replenished through eating.
The side effects of using the second-order overlimit burst are something that cannot be resisted by conventional methods.
However, the effects of the Spirit-Nourishing Pine Nuts can relieve this state of weakness!
"Unfortunately, one is not enough to fully restore it to its full potential; more are needed."
However, we're just traveling now, so we don't need to be at our peak...
Cang Nian assessed his own condition and thought to himself.
The effect of these Spirit-Nourishing Pine Nuts is to restore him to his peak condition.
But this thing has been ripe for ten days now.
My evolutionary level has improved significantly compared to before.
It's understandable that one cannot be restored to full condition.
Having overcome his weakness, Cang Nian's breathing became much smoother, and with a determined look in his eyes, he ran wildly.
……
Soon, Cangnian arrived outside Kangcheng. It was still afternoon, and along the way, he could see many people in small teams hunting animals in the area outside Kangcheng.
Meanwhile, some elderly people, children, or women with limited combat abilities pick fruits or mushrooms in the forest.
However, their activity range is not large, at most about five kilometers away from the city.
Only the most powerful evolved beings will venture deeper into the jungle.
Ordinary people just want to eat their fill, while evolved beings hunt large evolved creatures and then go to Kangda University to exchange them for evolution potions.
Evolution has become the dominant theme of the world since the resurgence of spiritual energy.
At least within the Kangcheng area, that's the case.
The higher the evolution level, the stronger one's combat power, and the more say one has in Kangcheng.
Food, tobacco, alcohol, medicine—everything that can make people live more comfortably and better in this messed-up post-apocalyptic world—will only be in the hands of those who have power.
"Damn... how are we going to find the fisherman now?"
Seeing that most of the evolved beings had left Kangcheng, Cangnian was extremely anxious.
He came to tell the fisherman about the insect swarm.
After that, whether Kangcheng chooses to resist or prepare to escape is up to them to decide.
Of course, the fisherman could also choose not to tell everyone the news, but instead take his close relatives and friends and flee.
However, although he knew that this was probably the right choice, based on Cangnian's understanding of the fisherman, he thought he wouldn't do such a thing.
"Forget it, let's go to the police station first. Maybe he'll just be wasting his life when he gets back to Kangcheng..."
Having no other choice, Cangnian could only use the most basic information he had to go find the fisherman.
"Ow~!"
Having made a temporary plan, Cang Nian let out a low roar.
Then, the little sable on its back took out a transparent bead.
This is the Invisibility Decree Pill!
Including the one used after ambushing the little bug, there's only one left now.
The next second, Cang Nian and the little sable were both covered in a layer of transparent light, which made them blend into the surrounding environment.
Whoosh~!
Having confirmed that he was invisible, Cang Nian strode swiftly into Kang City.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~!
"Strange, where did the wind come from?"
At this moment, the guard standing at the city gate adjusted his tattered hat and asked in confusion.
……
"Damn it... He's really not at the police station, this is going to be a nightmare to find him..."
They arrived at the police station in just a few minutes, and Cang Nian's face fell.
That day, he even went to check which room the fisherman had been assigned to, but there was no one there.
The police station was also nearly empty; they were probably out hunting as usual.
"Honey, Chen'er was just inside a moment ago, how come he's disappeared so quickly?"
At that moment, Cang Nian heard a familiar voice coming from next door to the fisherman's room.
It's that fisherman's mother's fault!
"Hey, didn't Lao Qin say that not many people know that Chen'er works for the police station?"
So let him go out and see if he can win over a group of evolved individuals and get them to side with the police.
Chen'er is quite interested in this, and she was looking for someone to help her yesterday.
He said that the Bai sisters, who occupy that piece of land in the city park, have great supernatural abilities, and he wants to subdue them.
Didn't I just take Pipi there?
Then, Cang Nian heard his father's voice.
"Has Chen'er finally come to his senses? I heard that the Bai sisters are quite beautiful, but one of them is mute."
The mother asked suspiciously.
"What do you mean by 'getting it all'? Chen'er is just helping his Uncle Qin out!"
Do you think he only thinks about love and romance all day long?
I've heard of those two girls; they're among the strongest of the small groups.
If we could really win them over, they would be a significant asset to Lao Qin.
Yifu rolled his eyes.
"Yes, yes, Chen'er doesn't have any romantic thoughts in his head, he just thinks about fishing, otherwise he wouldn't have suffered outside for so long."
You're a father, and your son doesn't want to think about those things, aren't you worried?
Could it be that our son doesn't like women, but prefers men?
Yi's mother said irritably, then looked somewhat suspicious.
"Get out of here! What do you mean you like men? What kind of mother talks about her child behind their back? You have no respect for your elders!"
"I also said with a frown."
"Yi Jingwei! Who are you calling old?!"
The mother immediately exploded.
