Chapter 166 It Hailed

Nothing was said that night.

The next morning, when Ling Ran and the others got up, the people next door had already left.

After finishing their hot stir-fried beef noodles and soy milk, Pei Xiu and the others went out to collect crystal cores again, but they returned shortly afterward.

Liu Xiuping brought Ling Ran a cup of hot milk tea and, seeing them return, asked, "Why are you back?"

"The crystal cores have all been picked up."

Pei Xiu said with annoyance, "It must have been picked up by those people next door. No wonder they got up so early. I don't think there will be any more crystal cores if we keep going forward."

Upon hearing this, Gu Zijing looked at Ling Ran and asked, "My lord, shall we go to the Star Base?"

"Hmm." Ling Ran put away her phone and looked at the annoyed Pei Xiu: "Alright, didn't you pick up a lot yesterday? And there might be more on the way to the Star Base."

Yesterday, the group spent two hours collecting crystal cores, and each person gained about three hundred crystal cores. They got so many crystal cores for free without killing zombies, they should be content.

Thinking of the crystal cores he picked up yesterday, Pei Xiu's mood improved again: "I also picked up two level-two crystal cores yesterday. This hail is amazing. It even killed level-two zombies directly. However, I still need a lot of crystal cores to upgrade to level three. I don't have enough level-two crystal cores."

Last night he calculated the number of crystal cores he needed, and he still needed more than 1,500 level-one crystal cores to raise his ability level to level three.

“The zombies are probably going to be upgraded in large numbers soon,” Gu Zijing suddenly said.

"How so?"

"intuition."

Besides intuition, Gu Zijing also had some guesses and analyses.

Their leveling speed is fast; most of them are now level one or two ability users, which is roughly equivalent to the level of zombies.

But soon humans will be able to level up, and the same goes for zombies.

Things in this world always seem to be in balance and mutually restrictive.

With no crystal cores to collect, the group packed up their things and drove towards the Star City base.

Su Yimo took out the grilled sausages made by Uncle Chen and handed them to Ling Ran. Looking ahead at the car, she yawned and said, "The sky is really gloomy and overcast. There's not a bit of sunshine."

She leaned back in the back seat, picked up each of their cups of ginger soup, took a sip, and immediately felt a warm feeling in her stomach.

Suddenly, she saw the mutated green plants on the roadside ahead swaying faster and faster, and the trash on the ground was being blown around everywhere.

"The wind is blowing, could it be a tornado?"

The car was moving slowly when a crisp sound suddenly landed on the car window.

Everyone looked closely and was immediately shocked: "It's hail! It's hailing!"

The hailstones that just fell on the car window weren't big, but they got bigger and bigger as the rain continued.

Su Yimo hurriedly handed the magic wand to Ling Ran, who took it and said with a slight parting of her red lips, "God said, create a barrier."

A beam of white light emanated from the magic wand, and then a thin protective membrane enveloped the three vehicles.

The hailstones, which could kill a human instantly, seemed to sink to the bottom when they landed on that thin film, and rolled down to the ground with a gurgling sound.

Su Yimo watched with envy.

No matter when you see it, this move by the adult can only be described in one word: awesome.

Chen Le, who was next to her, suddenly grabbed her hand: "Look, there's someone over there."

Looking towards Chen Le's car window, one could see a car not far ahead that had been smashed and was unable to move, with a faint, supernatural light seemingly resisting the hail.

However, the light was quite weak, probably because the superpower was about to run out.

Inside the car were three men and two women, the five people who had stayed next door to Ling Ran yesterday.

"I can't hold on any longer!"
