Who says a sickly daughter can’t break through the weirdness?

1 to 30 is normal pollution, which is roughly the pollution value of the fog outside.

30-100, moderate pollution, you should be careful at this time, because it means there are strange beasts and E-level entities wandering around.

100-200 is severe pollution. In this case, there's no need to be cautious and you can just prepare your last words. This means you've been targeted by a D-level or even more terrifying thing.

Shen Qiyin nodded slightly: "I see, it's a bit like a Geiger counter for detecting nuclear radiation."

"Yes, yes, you can understand it that way." Lin Qiutang nodded. "The basic model can only detect reactions within a radius of 10 meters, which is very limited. The one I have is an improved version, which can detect reactions within a radius of 30 meters."

After a pause, Lin Qiutang added, "This is the version currently used by our official department. Due to the difficulty in production and the scarcity of materials, it's difficult to even popularize it across the entire team, let alone continue to update and iterate.

However, there is an improved version of the psychic detection radar located at the radio station. It is huge and can cover an area of ​​30 kilometers. It is currently our main means of detecting cities from within.

Once a powerful entity emerges, we can capture its location through detection radar.

Unfortunately, the detection radar is not very accurate and can only locate the approximate direction. The actual location may be quite different from the detected location."

Lin Qiutang's words answered some of Shen Qiyin's doubts. It turned out that the official relied on this thing to locate the area where entities like green haze appeared.

These things do not belong to the human technology tree. Perhaps we can give this technology a new name, called "forbidden technology."

After all, they come from "forbidden knowledge" that does not belong to Earth.

In Lin Qiutang's opinion, Xiaoxiang's existence is probably the same as the psychic vision detector, which was improved by Shen Qiyin based on the technology obtained from forbidden knowledge.

But, could these two little girls actually create such a killing machine?

Forbidden knowledge is truly terrifying...

"Sister, after listening to you, I still have a question. Since the investigation team also has to carry out missions at night, how do you resist the cognitive pollution brought by the fog?"

"Well, in the past, ordinary people who relied solely on their own willpower and short-term actions without any protection would not be in too much trouble as long as they stayed in the fog for no more than half an hour.

Now we have developed a sedative drug that can help people regain their composure and maintain their sanity.”

While speaking, Lin Qiutang took out a small jar from his pocket. Inside was a pill wrapped in yellow juice that looked like fish oil capsules.

"Rationality capsules, almond flavored, would you like to try some?"

"You don't need to try it. Do you have any extra? Can you give me some?"

"Of course."

Lin Qiutang generously took out a small new can.

It comes in a pack of 50 pills, which is enough for one person to eat for a long time.

"Although the quantity is large, the effect is relatively general. It can suppress mild pollution, but not moderate to severe pollution. For ordinary people, they need to take one after being in the fog for no more than 20 minutes to avoid worsening the condition."

"Well, I got it."

"in addition......"

Lin Qiutang handed a wireless communicator to Shen Qiyin: "I'll leave one for you. Currently, most signal base stations are no longer maintained, and the only thing that can be used is radio broadcasting.

This device has been improved and has a very large communication range. It can also directly connect to my encrypted channel. However, it cannot realize instant communication. It can only leave messages, just like those radio stations decades ago.

I heard that qualified investigators are researching communications equipment that incorporates "forbidden knowledge." Perhaps a new system will emerge for our communications in the future.

"it is good."

Shen Qiyin nodded and took the communicator.

This is also good. When two people need to contact each other, they can just use the encrypted channel.

Of course, considering that encrypted channels may be cracked, the communicator is best used only for regular contact.

When it comes to accepting commissions or more private information, it is best to meet in person.

However, in the current environment, it is estimated that no one will take the trouble to track and crack their channels. Once someone does, they will probably be a target that needs to be eliminated.

Its daybreak.

As the sun returned to the top of the mountain, Lin Qiutang also stood up and said goodbye.

She actually wanted Shen Qiyin to go to the inner shelter with her so that they could take care of each other, but Shen Qiyin refused firmly.

For Shen Qiyin, the internal shelter may be more convenient, but not necessarily safer.

There were many people in that place, and her ability needed to be kept strictly confidential. She didn't want the power of the "notebook" to be discovered by people other than the object of soul resonance.

Before leaving, Shen Qiyin secretly handed her the upgraded Black Queen Potion from last night and reminded her of the precautions when using it.

For someone as talented as Lin Qiutang who charges to the front lines, getting injured is probably a common occurrence, and the Black Queen Potion will definitely be of great help to her.

Lin Qiutang could roughly guess what Shen Qiyin was thinking.

It was better for her not to go to the inner shelter. After all, if she went there, she would have to deal with a group of people's coaxing and nagging.

As I said before, the stronger and more responsible a person is, the more tiring his life will be.

After seeing Lin Qiutang and the others off, Shen Qinyin and Tang Miao returned to the villa and closed the door again.

Now it's time to do your part.

She vaguely felt that the situation in Yunlan City was becoming increasingly dangerous, and she had to improve her ability to fight against entities as soon as possible.

Chapter 53: Isn’t this really a sexy outfit?

There are currently 580 Desire Stones left in the notebook. Although this amount is not low, it will not take long to actually spend it.

For example, the skill scroll that Shen Qinyin had always wanted, just a level one telekinesis scroll, would cost her a full five hundred desire stones.

However, she only spent a total of 260 Desire Stones to own a higher-level Level 2 Telekinesis Ring.

The gap between relying on equipment and relying on yourself is really huge.

Shen Qiyin remembered that when Lin Qiutang drove to see her last night, she used some special means to create a barrier invisible to the naked eye, isolating the team members from the fog.

She also tried to use telekinesis to build a barrier, but after the experiment she found that it was not as easy as she had imagined.

First of all, the objects she can lift with her telekinesis now weigh only about three or four hundred pounds. According to Shen Qinyin's idea, the barrier she releases must have the power to block bullets at least.

If she concentrated her telekinesis into a small plane, it would be easy to block the bullets, but it would be difficult to maintain a barrier covering herself, and a barrier with such strong defensive capabilities.

Perhaps, Lin Qiutang was influenced by the "forbidden knowledge", and the control methods related to "telekinesis" she understood were far richer than her own.

Even when it comes down to it, the sources of their power are completely different.

People with qualifications like Lin Qiutang obtain their power through the "Core of Fear" dropped by entities, and they share the same origin as those entities.

In other words, if the entity is truly an "alien civilization," then the qualified individuals are using the power of that alien civilization.

The notebook does not belong to the Earth, nor to "alien civilization", but is a completely independent existence.

Its power is unquestionable. The only drawback is that Shen Qiyin needs to pay "Desire Stone" as currency in exchange for items or power of equal value.

When Lin Qiutang left, he left two high-grade military bulletproof vests for Shen Qinyin and Tang Miao.

Shen Qiyin asked Tang Miao to disassemble the bulletproof vest, and then took out the ceramic composite bulletproof inserts, soft polyurethane foam plastics, polyester fiber cloth and other materials inside, and put them together with her usual clothes.

By utilizing the synthesis and upgrading features of the notebook, two new sets of protective clothing were created.

Although these two sets of protective suits cost Shen Qinyin a total of 40 desire stones, their protective performance has achieved a qualitative leap.

The thin material is extremely light and can withstand bullets from ordinary rifles.

Most importantly, Shen Qinyin also specially added a hood + mask that resembles a "helmet".

In this way, the exposed head also has excellent protection.

Shen Qiyin looked at the perfected one-piece protective suit, and her expression became a little strange.

I don't know if you have ever seen the heavy-duty erotic latex suits, the kind that involve bondage, binding, and a gag, wrapping the body and head tightly, leaving only the eyes and mouth exposed.

The upgraded protective suit looks very similar to that thing.

Wearing this thing when going out in broad daylight, it's hard not to suspect that this guy is the kind of nympho who wouldn't forget to seek excitement even in doomsday.

This is much worse than Shen Qinyin's previous little dress, but the little dress has no protection for the head.

For safety, just wear it.

Tang Miao blushed and complained, "Wearing this, will it really not bulge when you fart?"

Shen Qiyin: “…”

I can only say that Tang Miao’s complaints were correct.

But no matter what, once they put on this protective suit, ordinary rifles can basically no longer cause any harm to them.

Although it is hard to believe that a thin layer of leather can withstand a 5.56mm caliber bullet, there is no way around it, who says this is "laptop technology"?

Now, Shen Qinyin is still missing two things.

The first is to have armor that increases mental resistance.

Although her telekinetic ring enhanced her mental strength, allowing her to better resist the opponent's mental attacks when fighting against entities, she could rest easy, but Tang Miao and Xiaoxiang could not.

These two are now his indispensable teammates and right-hand men. Both need to improve their resistance to entities in order to better survive in the doomsday environment.

They haven't awakened their qualifications yet, so even if they wear equipment made with the notebook, they won't get any bonuses.

Especially Xiaoxiang, her soul resonance "chariot", Shen Qinyin still hasn't figured out how to activate it.

According to her idea, she was trying to combine the "rationality capsule" given to her by Lin Qiutang with the protective suit to see if she could create special clothing with mental resistance.

Unfortunately, reality was not as good as she had imagined, and she failed.

It seems that things like the "idealistic level" of spirit are not very "compatible" with the "material level".

As a last resort, she had to give up and chose to use the Desire Stone to strengthen the "Rationality Capsule" instead.

[Do you want to use 10 Desire Stones to upgrade the "Rationality Capsule" to the "Spiritual Comfort Capsule"?]

Only 10 Lust Stones? That's pretty cheap.

Shen Qiyin had an idea and agreed to the upgrade.

The bottle of sanity capsules given to her by her aunt can restore sanity that is slightly polluted. It cannot be restored when it is moderately polluted, but it can temporarily slow down the progression from moderate pollution to severe pollution.

After Shen Qiyin's upgrade, although it is still impossible to recover from moderate and severe pollution, the effect of restoring sanity is far better than before.

Shen Qiyin made an inference based on the effect description provided in the notebook. If the effect of human rationality is displayed according to the game data:

The range of 99 to 80 is light pollution, the range of 50 to 79 is moderate pollution, and below 50 is heavy pollution.

One ordinary sanity capsule can restore about 10 points of sanity, and one enhanced mental soothing capsule can restore 20 points.

In fact, when it comes to restoring sanity, the Holy Wood that comes in 5 pieces is the most cost-effective, and it also has the ability to repel entities.

However, as the entities encountered become more and more powerful, and items such as the Holy Wood have a duration, their effect becomes less and less as time goes on.

Take the lurker in the basement for example. If Shen Qiyin were to take a sacred tree down to provoke it now, she would probably be mentally polluted and turned into a soulless walking corpse in the first encounter.

What the hell is that thing anyway?

In addition to the lack of mental resistance protective gear, the second thing Shen Qiyin lacked was armor.

The armor here is not the thin cloth used to block bullets like protective clothing, but real armor!

Among the special forces members last night, some were carrying individual rocket launchers.

The moment she saw that thing, Shen Qiyin's first reaction was that the protective suit could not withstand the high temperature and would explode.

She hopes to have an armor as strong as Xiaoxiang's, which will make her completely immune to the threat of thermal weapons!

Chapter 54 The body becomes holy!

It may still be a long way to go before we can create an iron suit like Iron Man in science fiction movies.

Not to mention anything else, Shen Qiyin didn't even have the materials to make the Ark reactor on the other person's chest.

Notebook upgrade is clearly a very buggy conceptual ability. Even ordinary rings can be upgraded to mysterious equipment with special skills. However, when upgrading some physical science items, it has to show Shen Qiyin its rigorous attitude of not being able to "create something out of nothing".

Yes, after all, science needs to use existing materials and chemical elements to create, but for metaphysical objects such as exorcism props, no one knows what kind of "material" is hidden inside.

Just like the magic in anime in another world, no one cares what it is, and no one goes into the details of the chemical elements of that material energy. As long as it can be used, it's fine.

However, according to Lin Qiutang, official departments are still studying this mysterious power.

The materialist attitude is the firm belief that the world is knowable. For those researchers, the entities and monsters that humans face today are just like the physics and chemistry that humans faced in ancient times.

The reason why lightning strikes one place is not because of God's punishment, but because metal rods are more likely to form a conductive path with the clouds than surrounding objects, making them the preferred target of lightning discharge and attracting lightning strikes.
