Chapter 53: Saving a Woman from Sakura Country

After absorbing the last red crystal core, Lin Xiyue felt that he had entered a new realm.

Gu Qinghan had already absorbed all the energy in the crystal core. Now she is a level six fire-type mutant. If she encounters a level five zombie king again, she will be able to fight.

After she absorbed the crystal cores, she picked up the 108 crystal cores on the table and gave them to Gu Liuchuan and Yao Xi. She only dared to give them to them after getting Lin Xiyue's consent.

Gu Qinghan was thinking that they were about to go to Sakura Country. Currently, only Gu Liuchuan and Yao Xi were level three psychics in the island base. Giving them some crystal cores would allow them to improve their abilities so that they could better protect the base.

With the help of Lin Xiyue and others, the overall strength of the island base has also been greatly improved. First, after Gu Liuchuan and Yao Xi absorbed the crystal cores they gave them, their superpowers were upgraded to level four. In addition to the two of them, hundreds of people on the base were upgraded to level two superpowers, and fifty people were upgraded to level three superpowers. At the same time, many civilians also gradually awakened their superpowers.

After the strength of the base increased, Gu Liuchuan no longer stayed in the base, but took the team out for training from time to time, killing zombies, taking out the crystal cores in the zombies' heads, and then bringing the crystal cores back to soak in Lingxi water to remove impurities, and then distributing them to everyone to absorb the energy inside.

Gu Liuchuan heard from Lin Xiyue that there were many harmful impurities in the crystal core. If you want to absorb it, you must first soak it in Lingxi water to remove the impurities in the crystal core before it can be absorbed by the human body.

Gu Liuchuan and Yao Xi agreed that she would lead a team out on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th, and Yao Xi would lead another team out on the 2nd, 4th, and 6th. As they have been going out more frequently recently, all the zombies near the island base have been cleared out by them.

At that moment, Lin Xiyue was leading her companions on their journey to the Land of Sakura. Standing on the deck of an aircraft carrier, she gazed into the distance, seemingly lost in thought.

Gu Qinghan noticed Lin Xiyue's behavior. She slowly walked over and asked softly, "Xiyue, what are you thinking about?"

Lin Xiyue heard the voice and turned around, looking at Gu Qinghan standing beside her. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. However, her tone seemed a little heavy: "Wife, I'm wondering when this apocalypse will end, and when we can truly live a peaceful and comfortable life."

Gu Qinghan understood Lin Xiyue's concerns; she, too, longed for peace and tranquility. She gently patted Lin Xiyue's shoulder and comforted him, "To be honest, I don't know when this apocalypse will end. But I know that as long as I can be with you every day, no matter what difficulties and challenges I face, I can face them with confidence. In this life, I only recognize you, so don't even think about leaving me."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Qinghan quietly reached out and held Lin Xiyue's hand. Their fingers were tightly intertwined, as if at this moment, their hearts were also closely connected.

Meanwhile, Ji Yuan and Du Luoqing were also sitting on the edge of the aircraft carrier, enjoying this moment of tranquility. Ji Yuan held Du Luoqing in his arms, admiring the scenery of the sea together and whispering to each other about their concerns.

Suddenly, Du Luoqing's eyes were drawn to a dark figure in the distance. She looked closely and saw that it resembled a person floating on the sea. Her heart tightened, and she quickly said to Ji Yu'an, "Xiaoyu, look outside quickly. Does that look like a person on the sea?"

Ji Yuan looked in the direction of Du Luoqing's finger and said, "It really looks like someone. Let's go find Xiyue and let her take a look."

Ji Yuan took Du Luoqing to the deck to find Lin Xiyue, "Xiyue, Xiyue, look over there, is there someone? I was just talking to Xiao Luo, no, I saw him sitting by the window."

Lin Xiyue concentrated, using her clairvoyant ability to stare intently in the direction Ji Yuan pointed. Sure enough, a figure loomed on the turbulent sea. As the distance closed in, Lin Xiyue finally saw clearly that it was indeed a person, and a woman.

The woman on the sea was standing on a dilapidated boat, waving her hands desperately at them and shouting in the language of cherry blossoms. Lin Xiyue had excellent hearing and could clearly hear the woman shouting, "Help! Save me!"

Lin Xiyue told the others everything she had seen and heard. There was a hint of hesitation in her voice. After all, this was a stranger from a foreign country, and no one knew what her true intentions were.

Gu Qinghan was silent for a moment, as if deep in thought. After a moment, she raised her head and said seriously, "I think we could try rescuing her first. After all, she's quite a character to have managed to survive this long in this vast ocean. Furthermore, we could also take the opportunity to ask her about the situation in Sakura Country. We might even get some useful information."

Du Luoqing also agreed with Gu Qinghan's opinion. She raised her hand and said, "Well, I also think we should rescue her first. If she really has any difficulties, we will help her if we can. If she dares to lie to us, then we can kill her and throw her back into the sea."

"Then I'll rescue the Japanese woman first." After saying that, Ji Yu'an released the wood vines. Three vines grew madly towards the sea until they came to the woman. After the vines circled around the woman several times, she controlled the vines to pull the woman up, and after bringing her back to the deck of the aircraft carrier, she retracted her supernatural powers.

Lin Xiyue, Gu Qinghan, Du Luoqing, and Ji Yuan stood around the woman in silence. Lin Xiyue said expressionlessly, "Tell us your name, why you came to the sea, and whether your Sakura Country has been besieged by zombies. If you dare to lie to us, hmph! We will kill you and throw you into the sea to feed the creatures on the seabed."

Gong Huizi looked at the four beautiful women in front of her and heard them say they wanted to kill her and throw her into the sea. She was so frightened that she opened her eyes wide and knelt in front of them:

Her voice trembled, as if her whole body was shaking, full of fear and despair.

"Please don't kill me!" She pleaded hoarsely, tears welling up in her eyes. "I'll tell you everything, as long as you let me go!"

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and continued, "My name is Miya Keiko, and I'm a researcher from Sakura Country. I escaped from Sakura Country because it has become a terrible place, with zombies all over the country."

Her voice gradually lowered as she seemed to recall those horrific scenes. "Everyone in Sakura Country has gone crazy. They are simply a bunch of lunatics!"
