Chapter 164 Rebirth

There were still many unmelted hailstones on the road, making it difficult for cars to drive properly.

They had no choice but to use their superpowers through the windows to clear the roadblocks.

We walked very slowly along the way.

However, the further you go into the city, the more you see the zombies that have been crushed to death, basically all turned into a pile of minced meat.

There are almost no living zombies to be seen. If you do see one, that zombie is considered a lucky one.

The weather was gloomy. With the headlights on, the car drove for about half an hour until it reached a bustling area. The original road was almost invisible, replaced by a dense mass of zombie carnage, hailstones, and crushed vehicles.

"Aren't any of these crystal cores going to be picked up? Are you going to pick them up or not? If not, I will." Chen Le looked at the light blue crystal cores that had been squeezed out on the ground, his eyes filled with envy.

"I'll pick it up, I'll pick it up."

Pei Xiu, Zhou Hang, and Su Yimo, these noobs, all wanted to collect the crystal cores.

So everyone except the driver went down to collect the crystal cores. Liu Xiuping and the others wanted to go down too, but as soon as the car door opened, the cold air instantly swept over them. Afraid of getting sick and becoming a burden to the adults, they didn't go down.

Fan Chuan was temporarily transferred here and slowly drove behind.

It had only been half a year since the apocalypse, but it felt like it had lasted longer than the previous thirty-odd years of his life. And this car—how long had it been since he'd even touched it?

Pei Yi and Shen Nianshen picked up crystal cores while clearing roadblocks in front of the car.

The hail was ridiculously heavy, almost completely blocking most of the road. Combined with the vehicles and zombie corpses, the road was practically impassable.

As the car slowly moved forward, Hu Meiying, sitting in the back seat, suddenly pointed out the window and said, "Look at that building over there..."

Looking out the car window, Ling Ran saw a tall building in the distance that was half-buried in the middle.

Fan Chuan looked on in shock: "This must be the scene Wen Yulan was talking about, caused by a tornado, right?"

He couldn't imagine what would have happened if someone had been outside at the time; they would have been blown away somewhere.

Even those with superpowers would likely struggle to cope with such a powerful natural disaster.

"How big of a tornado must that be?" Hu Meiying felt that reality was even more outrageous than fiction.

Ling Ran suddenly looked in the rearview mirror and asked Hu Meiying, "Can you write apocalyptic novels?"

"The adults I can write about."

She had never written a post-apocalyptic novel before, but she had read quite a few. As long as there was a background, she could come up with the plot herself.

Other novels might require research, but the post-apocalyptic setting, which I'm currently living in, makes things much easier.

"Okay, keep writing what you have in your hand. After you finish, write me a post-apocalyptic novel with the current background."

Ling Ran recalled the plot points Qiao Yunshu had described and gave her a general overview of the female lead's storyline: "Let's go with the main plot like this."

"Yes, sir."

Hu Meiying found it strange. She had been thinking of creating a new plot, but she didn't expect the adults to want to read a rather formulaic post-apocalyptic novel.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Sir, may I add a cheat code that allows the female lead to be reborn? That would make it easier to write conflicts in the beginning."

"Rebirth?"

Ling Ran narrowed her eyes, then a smile appeared on her lips: "That's fine, this time is perfect."

The weather was bad, and night fell quickly.

By nearly five o'clock, it was almost completely dark.

Gu Zijing found a large two-story building, intending to stay there temporarily for the night. Before even arriving, he frowned slightly: "It's already taken."
