Chapter 163 Even the crystal cores were left unpicked.

Nothing was said that night.

When I woke up the next day, the rain hadn't stopped; in fact, it had gotten even heavier, and a strong wind had picked up.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, with layers of gray-black clouds hanging in the air, giving the whole city a sense of oppression.

Looking out the window, through the thick curtain of rain, one could vaguely see some tin roofs that had been blown away, and the trash cans that had fallen to the ground had also been blown away.

Most importantly, the temperature has dropped again.

It was probably around minus ten degrees Celsius, and with the rain, the weather was damp and cold, making it extremely uncomfortable.

In this weather, it's definitely impossible to travel.

"If the weather in Yangzhou is like this, then the weather in Xingcheng must be even worse."

"Yeah, and with this weather, there's no way to go out and find supplies."

One can imagine that the problems facing Star Base must be very serious.

Not wanting to travel quickly, the group brought out the mahjong table again. With thirteen people in the group, they could play three tables.

As for Wu Tong? He's a pig. You, a pig, want to play mahjong? Go guard the gate.

Chen Xiaoying, on the other hand, is a very sensible child. She hardly speaks and usually helps her father with chores, never asking for anything in return.

When she first arrived, she was pale and thin, but now she has not only gained a lot of weight, but her body has also become much slimmer, and she smiles much more often.

After playing mahjong for three days, the weather finally cleared up.

The sun, which had been absent for many days, hung in the sky, which had been washed clean by the rain and was now an exceptionally clear blue, appearing exceptionally gentle.

After packing up, the car headed back towards Xingcheng.

They continued driving through remote areas of the suburbs. When they reached a certain place, they suddenly saw a sign. Chen Nianshen, the driver, slowed down: "Look, this is the Liaoyuan Base."

Ling Ran looked over and saw that the sign said that the Liaoyuan Base was one kilometer ahead.

After driving for a while, the Liaoyuan Base came into view.

The area enclosed by the base is not very large; it's probably a small base.

No one had any intention of getting off the bus to visit the Liaoyuan Base; after passing by, they continued on to Xingcheng.

After the usual lunch break, we finally entered the territory of Xingcheng at 3 pm.

At this moment, there was no wind or hail in Xingcheng, but the sun was also out, and it was noticeably colder.

If Yangzhou is around minus ten degrees Celsius, then Xingcheng is around minus twenty degrees Celsius.

The heater was on inside the vehicle, and everyone was wearing thick clothes, so it wasn't too cold. However, Wu Tong, who was in the carriage, was freezing.

Although a nest was built for it in the carriage, it was still outdoors and exposed to the wind. If it weren't for its body fat and relatively high level of superpower, it would probably have turned into a dead pig.

Su Yimo peeked through the car window, and as she spoke, a thick layer of fog fogged up the window.

"There don't seem to be any zombies here, just rotting corpses and decaying flesh..."

Along the way, every so often you could see zombies smashed beyond recognition, and among the rotting flesh, you could even see light blue crystal cores.

Zhou Hang, who was lucky enough to get back into Ling Ran's car, nodded and said, "Yes, and no one is even picking up the crystal cores. I've seen several myself."

The car was jolted violently by these mangled corpses, some of which were indistinguishable from human bodies or zombies.

Pei Xiu, who was driving, said, "Sis, since there are no zombies, let's drive straight to the city. We might be able to find a lot of crystal cores."

With Ling Ran's nod, the car stopped detouring to remote areas and headed straight towards the city center.
