Chapter 242 Natural Disaster! (Third Update)

After Fang Yuxin and his companions came out of the deserted village, they walked for less than an hour before it began to rain. At first the rain was relatively light, but gradually it became heavier.

At this time, they had just returned to the highway not long ago.

The rain was getting heavier and the sky was gradually getting darker. Looking closely, I could see that the sky was covered with dark clouds, which gave me a tense and depressing feeling. The windows of the car were completely sealed, so I felt that it was difficult to breathe.

What was even more frustrating was that as the sky darkened and the rain got heavier, the road ahead became less clear. When an abandoned private car appeared on the road again, everyone felt depressed.

In desperation, the three power mutants could only take turns getting off the car and acting as porters to move the abandoned cars away. Fortunately, due to the heavy rain, the zombies appeared again and no one knew where they were hiding, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.

Not long after driving on, the sky became darker. Fang Yuxin looked up and saw the sky was full of dark clouds. This scene was really ominous.

She frowned, feeling suddenly uneasy.

At this moment, Bai Qianqian suddenly hugged her waist and said anxiously: "Mom, is it getting dark? Will there be thunder?"

Fang Yuxin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously hugged him, patted his back, and asked in a soft voice: "What's wrong? Is Qianqian afraid of thunder?" It seems that many children are afraid of thunder, and even some adults are the same.

But Bai Qianqian frowned and said, "Qianqian is not afraid of thunder! Qianqian is a man! Are you afraid, Mom? Qianqian will protect you!" As he spoke, he shrank into Fang Yuxin's arms, his round eyes full of anxiety.

Fang Yuxin smiled gently, and did not expose his lie. She just hugged him tightly and said to her family, "Dad, Mom, brother, look at the weather. I'm afraid it will rain for a while. Let's find a place to hide from the rain."

If something really happens, they will be on this highway with no village or shop nearby. Not only will the small car fail to protect them, but it may become a death cage.

Fang Yuxin felt uneasy and felt that something was going to happen, so he wanted to find a safe place to hide. At least if they stayed in the house, it would be easier to deal with any danger, which was better than staying in the car.

No one else had any objection, so Fang Yuxin sent a message to the people in the other two cars, informing them to find a place to shelter from the rain first.

Fang Yuxin felt uneasy, and so did the others, so when she proposed it, no one else objected. After all, Chen Qiao and the others were members of the Yongsheng team, so naturally they had no chance of objecting. Bai Ye and the others were experienced mercenaries, and they knew very well that things could go wrong on rainy days, so they would not object.

After making up their minds, they began to look for places to live nearby.

Fang Yuxin took out his tablet, opened it and pulled up a map. Although there was no GPS positioning, as long as he paid some attention along the way, he could always find their location on the map.

Fang Yuxin quickly determined their current coordinates on the map, and then began to check the surrounding situation. After checking, she found a small county town not far ahead.

As long as there are intact houses in the county town, they will have a place to live.

After making this discovery, Fang Yuxin immediately messaged others and explained the situation.

They were not far from the small county town, so they continued driving for about half an hour before they arrived. After getting off the highway, they quickly found a motel on the side of the road. The motel was well preserved, so they didn't have to go deep into the county town.

After all, the situation in the county town is unclear, so it is safer to stay in this roadside motel.

There was a gas station next to the motel. They stopped the car, took out the gas gun, used their supernatural powers to create a suction force, and sucked the oil out of the underground oil barrel. After filling the car with gas, they took out the gasoline tank from the car and filled it up as well.

It’s a pity that they didn’t have much gas in their tanks, so they couldn’t take the remaining gasoline away.

Fang Yuxin stored 40 tons of gasoline in his Qingmu Spiritual Mansion, but he didn't think it was a pity. Chen Qiao and the others didn't know the situation, and their faces were full of regret. The same was true for Bai Ye and the others. Their previous supplies were stolen, and they became completely penniless. Even though they later hunted a lot of zombies, harvested some crystal cores, and later found more than ten Yuanshi in Huang Village, the supplies they had were still far inferior to those stolen.

This forced them to be more careful in their calculations, so they felt even more regretful about the gasoline that they couldn't take away.

It was just a pity, but there was nothing they could do. Without a sealed gasoline barrel, they couldn't take the gasoline away. Besides, even if they had a gasoline barrel, there was only so much space in their car, so where would they put it?

For those who have no space, reality is so cruel!

Fortunately, their will had become very firm and could not be easily shaken. After the regret, everyone quickly calmed down and drove into the motel.

The first thing that caught my eye was a relatively large parking lot with dozens of private cars parked here. Most of them were quite ordinary, with a thick layer of dust on the cars, which became clean after being washed by the rain. It was obvious that they were all abandoned cars.

If you look closely, you will find that this parking lot has been the scene of a fight. Large patches of blood have turned dark brown, and you can't tell the original color. However, the body is still there, lying miserably on the ground, and no one knows who it is.

It was raining heavily at this time, so even if they wanted to burn the bones, they couldn't do it. They could only wait until the rain stopped. So the group ignored the bones and drove directly to the hotel entrance.

Fang Yuxin released his spiritual sense and found many corpses in the hotel, but no zombies were found. They probably had left long ago.

The hotel has three floors, each floor has 20 rooms, two by two facing each other. They chose the third floor on purpose, not the first or second floor.

After all, it's the end of the world now, and mutant creatures have appeared. The first floor is too vulnerable to attack, and the second floor is easy to be trapped. Although the third floor is not absolutely safe, if something happens, they can jump down directly from the building.

The physical fitness of people with special abilities is much better than that of ordinary people. Even if an ordinary person jumps from a three-story building, they will not be seriously injured if they operate well. For people with special abilities, it is no problem.

There were 20 rooms, 9 of which contained corpses, but the remaining 11 were relatively clean. They chose rooms from the remaining rooms to live in, living together in groups of three or four, so that people could take turns to keep watch at night.

The house has both double rooms and single rooms. The double rooms have two large beds, and can accommodate at least four people if you are not too particular.

Soon, the rooms were assigned. Qu Qianhe and Fang Jintang shared a room, Fang Yuxin and Shang Jinxiu shared a room, Chen Qiao and the other five shared a room, Chen Si, Hou Saner, Xu Wu and Meng Qingluo shared a room, and the remaining Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang shared a double room with Bai Qianqian.

After the rooms were assigned, everyone simply decorated them. Fang Yuxin looked at the time and found that it was only four o'clock in the afternoon.

It's only August now, the daytime is long, and it gets dark around 7 or 8 pm. But it's only 4 o'clock now, and it's almost dark. It's really hard to feel at ease.

But the rain was still falling outside, and it had turned into a downpour. The rain made the air humid and stuffy, and the smell of earth and rot mixed together, forming an even more unpleasant smell.

Besides, the house had not been occupied for a long time, and the smell was also unpleasant. Fang Yuyang thought about it and simply blew up a gust of wind to blow away all the musty and rotten smells in the room. Fang Yuxin quietly took out a herb from the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion and pretended that he had just grown it to purify the unpleasant smell in the air.

After this, the air smelled much better.

It was raining heavily outside and they couldn't go out. Fang Yuxin thought about it and felt that he was hungry, so he simply suggested cooking a hot pot so that everyone could have a good meal.

They just came out of the safe zone early this morning. They had a simple meal in the morning. Feng Yue treated them to lunch, and the food was nothing compared to what they usually eat. In addition, psychics have big appetites, and they had just been through a battle and consumed a lot, so not only Fang Yuxin, but everyone else was hungry as well.

Because there were so many people, Fang Yuxin simply cooked three pots. The base of the pot was cooked with old hens, and the chicken meat was not wasted, as they all ate it.

Fang Yuxin provided a lot of fresh vegetables and meat, as well as various wild delicacies, and everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

After eating hot pot, it was already six o'clock.

It was raining outside, so naturally no one would go out. Fang Yuxin thought about it, and then said in front of everyone: "I have something to tell you."

After she said this, those who were originally preparing to go back to the house to practice, all looked at her, waiting for her next words.

Fang Yuxin simply took out a few crystal cores from his waist bag, placed them on the table, looked at the others and asked, "Can you tell what's the difference between these crystal cores and the ones you have?"

Bai Ye had wanted to ask this for a long time, so as soon as Fang Yuxin finished speaking, he said: "The crystal cores you took out are purer, and the impurities and negative energy inside seem to have disappeared?" After he said that, he didn't hesitate and directly picked up a crystal core to feel it carefully.

Others hadn't noticed anything unusual about the crystal core before, but when Fang Yuxin took it out this time, they all discovered the problem. After Bai Ye finished speaking, their faces changed. Some followed Bai Ye's lead and took the crystal core to observe it carefully, while others looked at Fang Yuxin expectantly, waiting for her next words.

These were smart people, and they understood that since Fang Yuxin had brought up this matter, he naturally wanted to tell them how to purify the crystal core.

Fang Yuxin smiled gently and said to Shang Jinxiu: "A Xiu, take out the things."
