That afternoon, the headcount was done.
Of the eighty thousand civilians, there were only fifty thousand left. Thirty thousand people had died! Thirty thousand? What did that mean? In ancient times, some small European countries didn't even have thirty thousand people!
Of the two thousand soldiers, only nine hundred were left. Many of them were emotionally unstable.
The leader of the great relocation, the white-haired Elder Li, was questioned — if it wasn't for this old man's prestige, the army would have rebelled.
One of the buses exploded, causing a fire that engulfed the convoy. In the chaos, no one could put out the fire. In addition, Inferno Vinoshu and some other monsters intentionally destroyed the tanks, armored vehicles, and cars. More than half of the vehicles were destroyed.
Two helicopters were destroyed.
Even more frightening was the lack of food. There wasn't enough food to begin with. Even if they managed to save some, the remaining food could only last them for two days.
Even more frightening than the lack of food was the lack of water. After losing a large number of water storage trucks, the drinking water for the soldiers and civilians became a big problem. They could only replenish their water supply after leaving Grand Forests.
There were countless injured!
Many injured people needed clean water to treat their wounds — Lv Lingling's magic power was limited, and so was her energy. She couldn't activate the Yuan Spirit Return Spell too many times, so she could only save a few people.
Lin Xi and Dong Qing couldn't ignore the wounded and wailing soldiers, so they donated all the water they had in their inventory.
The intact van was also given to the military to be turned into an operating theater for the wounded.
After donating twenty buckets of water, Lin Xi had to consider the drinking water for his team. He spent eight thousand points in the evolution base to exchange for one magic stone.
A magic stone from the Final Fantasy World contained a spell.
Activating the spell did not require magic power or other energy, only mental energy.
Using the thought waves from the soul — mental energy — to activate the runes carved in the magic stone, activating the spell.
It did not require energy because the magic stone was a natural energy amalgamation. It could automatically absorb the free energy in nature to replenish itself.
Inside the magic stone was a low-level spell: Water Current.
Lin Xi held the blue Magic Stone in his hand. As he concentrated and injected his spiritual force, the blue light of the Magic Stone became brighter and brighter. A stream of water flowed out of the crystal. Dong Qing, who was on the side, quickly stored the water in a bucket.
A little dizzy, but I can still hold on.
After the bucket was filled to the brim, Lin Xi released the Magic Stone and scooped a bowl of water. After drinking it, he found that the water was sweet and tasted better than purified water.
"Let me try."
Dong Qing was eager to give it a try, but she held the magic stone for a long time. Her face was red, but not a single drop of water came out. Her eyes were burning with anger. Obviously, this girl's spiritual power was not strong enough to activate the magic stone.
Mai Shiranui also gave it a try, but she only managed to create a small handful of water, and then she ran to the side to rest dizzily.
Yani had a little more, but it was only half a bucket.
Wang Feifei and Ning Shuixin were sitting to one side. He Rui's death had obviously affected them greatly, especially Ning Shuixin, who was usually taken care of. She looked like she was in a daze and had not said a word for several hours.
"You two, give it a try too."
Inviting the two girls to try was just to make them more active. How could an ordinary person use their spiritual power to activate the magic stone to create water?
Even Lin Xi's spiritual power would not be strong enough if he had not absorbed the Seed of Ice and Snow.
Wang Feifei took the magic stone with trembling hands. This girl was obviously in a state of fear — her hand holding the magic stone was trembling. She tried for a while, but nothing happened.
The doll-like Ning Shuixin held the magic stone in her hand expressionlessly. But … her expression suddenly changed, and she seemed to be confused.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xi asked quickly.
"I can feel … this magic stone … is very familiar …" Ning Shuixin tilted her head, and her cute little eyebrows were tightly knitted. "When I hold it in my hand, I feel a very reassuring aura coming from the magic stone."
"Familiar? Reassuring? "Dong Qing could not understand.
In the next second, the blue magic stone suddenly lit up, and a stream of water gushed out from the magic stone like a raging spring, drenching Lin Xi.
Unexpectedly, the water that gushed out of the magic stone didn't pour on Ning Shuixin. Instead, it surrounded her and wrapped her up like a water bubble.
"This … is it high spiritual power? Or is it hiding something? Talent, constitution, supernatural ability of water affinity? "
Lin Xi wiped the water off his face. He was surprised, but more than that, he was happy. "I didn't expect Ning Shuixin to have the word 'water' in your name. You are indeed fated with water! This is great. This Jian Zhi has gained another ability user! "
Dong Qing was also thoughtful. "It seems that some ordinary people have hidden abilities. However, without the right opportunity, it is difficult to show it."
"Do you feel dizzy?" Lin Xi asked.
"No." Ning Shuixin shook her head weakly.
"Good! Very good! It should not be spiritual power, but a talent related to water! Unfortunately, I can't use the evolutionary program to find out what exactly it is that attracted the magic stone to carve the water spell. "
Ning Shuixin had been by his side since the beginning. She was one of the three girls who had saved him. Moreover, now that He Rui died, Lin Xi more or less felt a bit of regret and guilt. These emotions were transferred to the girl.
Since she had shown her talent related to water, Lin Xi would not be stingy.
Water was an important substance, the source of life!
Lin Xi decided that he would train Ning Shuixin as a teammate in the future! He took out his phone, connected to the evolutionary base, and searched it. He was ready to exchange some high-level items for Ning Shuixin.
His eyes lit up when he saw an item.
"Twenty thousand points … It's a little expensive, but it's nothing."
Right now, Lin Xi was extremely wealthy. He originally had fifty-seven thousand points, but he spent seven thousand on Inferno Vinoshu's card and eight thousand on the Water Flow Magic Stones. He still had forty-two thousand points left.
This money was enough to exchange for a mercenary at the level of Mai Shiranui.
However, there were very few mercenaries of this price that could catch Lin Xi's eye. Lin Xi had high standards. Mercenaries had to be beautiful women first, and then they had to be powerful, or like Mai Shiranui, beautiful enough to move one's soul!
Even Yuri Sakazaki, who was from the King of Fighters World and was slightly stronger than Mai Shiranui but not as beautiful, was not in his eyes.
Therefore, he had no intention of exchanging for a mercenary at the moment.
Lin Xi's target was those who were above 100,000 points. His final goal was 1 million. A certain unscrupulous person who was greedy for money …
He paid 20,000 to exchange!
It was a metal rod more than ten centimeters long.
The lower half of the metal rod was blue, and the upper half was gold. There was a golden ring at the top, and there was a mark in the middle.
The shape of the mark was very strange. It looked like a girl with braids.
Sailor Suit Warrior, Mercury Warrior, Mercury Transformation Rod!
Of course, this rod could not be used by just anyone. First, it had to be a female. Second, it had to be recognized by the Mercury Transformation Rod — in other words, it had to be compatible with water.
"Aqua Heart, this is for you. I hope you can use its power."
Lin Xi handed the Mercury Transformation Rod to Ning Shuixin and told her about Sailor Suit Warrior, as well as the effects of the Transformation Rod.
Off to the side, Dong Qing did a quick check and exclaimed, "Twenty thousand! You're so rich! "
After yesterday's battle and obtaining the kill points of the Poisonous Cat King, plus the remaining points from a while ago, Dong Qing had accumulated more than 20,000 points of biological energy. However, she planned to use most of the points to strengthen her attributes and a small portion to exchange for weapons.
She didn't even dare to think about spending 20,000 points on others!
Ning Shuixin's hand trembled violently, and she almost dropped the transformation stick she was holding in her hand.
As for Wang Feifei, she seemed to have turned pale and solidified into a stone statue.
She had followed Lin Xi for a long time and was very familiar with some things about evolvers. Naturally, she understood what 20,000 points of life energy meant. The cloth armor she was wearing was only worth 100 points! Even Mai Shiranui only had 40,000 points!
Touching her waist, Wang Feifei suddenly wanted to cry because she could no longer use the Truth Spell — Shield because she had used up the magical energy crystal.
To be honest, He Rui's death was a big blow to her.
Although she usually looked down on He Rui, this sister-like girl still had some weight in her heart. He Rui's death made her feel sad and afraid. She was afraid that Lin Xi would vent his anger on her. After all, if she had given He Rui the Truth Spell — Shield when choosing the card, He Rui wouldn't have died.
Wang Feifei also knew that she was a little selfish, but who didn't have selfishness? Besides, selfishness was also the privilege of a beauty.
However, compared with a girl like her, the innocent Ning Shuixin was more likable …
Looking at everyone surrounding Ning Shuixin, and then looking at the innocent girl who was at a loss under everyone's gaze, Wang Feifei lowered her head sadly and quietly wiped her eyes.
"Don't have any distracting thoughts. Focus on the Transformation Rod. Since you can communicate with the Water Magic Stone, you must be able to use the Transformation Rod. Even if you can't use it, it doesn't matter. I have money now, and I can afford to waste 20,000 points."
Holding the Transformation Rod, nothing happened for a long time. Ning Shuixin was so anxious that she was about to cry, but with Lin Xi's comfort, she finally calmed down.
"Water … What is water …"
Ning Shuixin took a few deep breaths and held the Transformation Rod with both hands. She closed her eyes and focused all her attention on her hands.
Her state of mind finally calmed down completely. There seemed to be some coolness coming from the Transformation Rod, like flowing water. The water enveloped her body and soothed her spirit. Gradually, her entire being seemed to have become one with the water.
"Innocence, cleanliness, tolerance, dedication … So this is water …"
Ning Shuixin suddenly felt a little touched. The Mercury Transformation Rod in her hand flashed with a faint blue light, and a mark similar to the one on the Transformation Rod appeared between her eyebrows.
"Mercury Power, Transformation!"
The clothes on the girl's body instantly disintegrated into particles, revealing her exquisite and graceful curves.
A thin layer of blue water covered the surface of her body, covering her beautiful naked body. It was faintly discernible, but it made her even more seductive. From the tip of the Mercury Transformation Rod, a long stream of water rushed out and wrapped around the girl's body. The blue light shone dreamily, and as it flowed, it transformed into a blue and white sailor suit.
The sailor suit's skirt was very short, and the girl's fair and slender thighs were exposed. Her upper body revealed her tender, lotus-like arms.
A large blue bow was tied in front of the girl's exaggerated cleavage. In the middle of the girl's forehead, in the middle of the golden V-shaped headdress, was a beautiful blue, transparent gem.
"Success!"
Ning Shuixin didn't know that her young and tender face, coupled with the revealing sailor suit, would be very lethal.
The delighted girl threw herself into Lin Xi's arms. When she felt the pair of tall and bouncy meatballs press against her, some liquid flowed out of her nostrils.
This time, Lin Xi controlled his hands, but he couldn't control the blood flow.
This was because this was the same as when he faced Mai Shiranui. Even his blood control ability couldn't resist the extreme temptation!
