Chapter 207 The weight in my heart finally sank.

She seems to be getting closer to the truth of the apocalypse.

After picking up the fruit from the pond, Meng Shiwan jumped out of the water, her clothes dripping wet onto the lawn.

She looked up at the sky; dark clouds rolled in, and acid rain poured down.

Meng Shiwan muttered to herself, "I need to go out again to collect some water resources."

The pond in the base is quite large, and the water in it is drinkable. However, there is a problem: the water in the pond is decreasing as you drink it, and there is no spring below to replenish it.

Acid rain is followed by tsunamis, and tsunamis are followed by extreme cold, with thousands of miles frozen over. Water sources infused with acid rain are simply undrinkable.

Water storage is of paramount importance.

Acid rain has just started falling and hasn't yet seeped into the ground, so there's still time.

In the neighboring province there is a large karst cave called Chaofeng Cave, which is one of the best in the country. Meng Shiwan had visited it before.

There is an underground spring inside the cave, from which groundwater constantly gushes out.

Meng Shiwan remembered hearing in her previous life that the underground spring in this karst cave was the main source of water for the whole country after the acid rains, and it supported many bases.

There's another important reason why we're only now thinking about stockpiling water resources.

After stockpiling supplies and building the base, she simply didn't have any extra crystal cores to expand.

Right now, she probably doesn't even have two thousand crystal cores in her possession.

Meng Shiwan picked up the phone she had just placed on the ground and called Tao Yarong. After the call was connected, she instructed, "During this time, you all stay home and build the base. Take out as much as you can from the space to free it up. I need to use the space in a few days."

Tao Yarong was surprised, "Sister, are you going out? It's raining acid outside, it's not convenient, is it?"

Meng Shiwan responded, "Okay, I'll go to Chaofeng Cave to stock up on some water resources."

Tao Yarong said with concern, "We'll go with you."

Meng Shiwan refused, saying, "It's inconvenient to go out during acid rain, and the base is still in the early stages of construction. You should stay home and keep watch."

They are all now level six ability users, so Meng Shiwan feels at ease keeping them at home.

Although many people stay indoors during acid rain, the farm's allure is too great, and it's inevitable that some people will try to take advantage of it.

With a few of them guarding the area, plus so many weapons, it wouldn't be so easy for anyone to cause trouble.

Tao Yarong thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, I understand."

Before hanging up, Meng Shiwan instructed, "Tell Lu Yu to make some boxed lunches and keep them in his space when he has time. If Ta Xue is at the farm, make some canned food for her and her pet panda. Also, remember to feed my chickens, ducks, and geese."

Also, quite a few animals from the mountains have wandered onto our farm. Please feed them when you have time, and tell everyone to be careful and avoid being attacked by wild animals.

She worries about a lot, truly attending to every little detail.

However, to be fair, the space card is really useful. Lu Yu can make some delicious food and put it in the space, so she can take it out and eat it when she's hungry, without having to think about cooking for herself every day.

Lu Yu, a graduate of New Oriental, is a really good cook, much better than her.

Tao Yarong smiled and said, "Sister, you don't need to worry about these little things, we'll take care of them."

Meng Shiwan: "Okay, then I'm leaving."

After hanging up the phone, she used her fire-based superpower to dry her clothes, took out an apple from her spatial storage, ate it, got into the driver's seat, started the RV, and drove across the farmland, heading towards the mountain road to leave the base.

At this point, I have to praise the RV's immunity to damage again; even highly corrosive acid rain cannot cause it any harm.

They frolicked in the fields, chasing wild animals through the snow, and watched Meng Shiwan's RV leave.

It flicked its tail as a greeting to Meng Shiwan, then went back to chasing the monkey.

Ta Xue can travel between the farm and the RV. If it misses Meng, it can go into the RV to find her anytime.

Seeing how much fun it was having, Meng Shiwan didn't call it.

As soon as we left the farm, torrential acid rain pelted and washed over the RV.

Meng Shiwan closed the car windows tightly, and not a single drop of acid rain could seep in, giving her a great sense of security.

However, the acid rain affected visibility, so Meng Shiwan did not drive fast.

She put on some music, took out a few bags of snacks from her storage space, and sat in the driver's seat, leisurely munching on the snacks while driving. It was quite comfortable.

Judging from the current road conditions and weather, it would probably take four or five days to drive from here to Chaofeng Cave.

Meng Shiwan wasn't in a hurry, so she could drive there slowly and kill some zombies along the way to collect some crystal cores.

She wants to relax, but someone won't let her.

When Meng Shiwan saw Wu Ming's call, she thought he was coming to ask her to exchange crystal cores for space.

Meng Shiwan thought that going to the seed base wouldn't be a big deal, but to her surprise, after she answered the phone, Wu Ming's first words were...

"Meng Shiwan, I need your help urgently."

Meng Shiwan: ? ? ?

"What's wrong? Is the canopy at the seed base leaking?"

Wu Ming said urgently, "No, a zombie king has appeared, and we need your help."

Meng Shiwan sat up straighter, a bad feeling suddenly creeping over her. "Where is the Zombie King?"

Wu Ming: "Chaofeng Cave".

The weight that had been hanging over Meng Shiwan's heart finally lifted.

Is it a coincidence?

She recalled what the wind-elemental ability user who stole her black cube had said in the germplasm bank.

He said that only by following her could he find the black cube.

Could this seemingly ordinary sentence be interpreted as the black cube waiting for her on her future path?

Therefore, only by following her can we find the black cube, because the place she is going to is where the black cube is located.

Furthermore, Meng Qingyue's words stated that collecting all the black cubes would trigger the event.

Having traveled back from her previous life ten years ago, Meng Qingyue knew about the Black Cube and even its function.

Meng Shiwan believes that her and Meng Qingyue's rebirth may not be a coincidence or accident.

Meng Qingyue must have done something during the ten years of the apocalypse in her previous life to cause the current situation.

The fact that Wu Ming said there was a zombie king in Chaofeng Cave shortly after Meng Shiwan decided to go there is enough to prove it.

It's only been three months since the apocalypse, so it's impossible for a zombie king to appear so early.

That leaves only one possibility: the Chaofeng Cave contains black cubes that promote the evolution of zombies, leading to the birth of the Zombie King.

Why is she the only one who can find the black cube? Why does the zombie king appear where she is going?

It seems as if someone had foreseen her future and meticulously planned everything, waiting for her step by step in the future.

Who could it be?

Meng Shiwan is more inclined to believe that this person is Meng Qingyue, because she saw in her precognitive dream that she seemed to be following the same path as Meng Qingyue in her previous life.

The apocalypse is coming, and I just want to live a good life.

Bind to the system and start stockpiling supplies.

Upon discovering the system anomaly, a decision was made to construct a base.

The only difference between the current Meng Shiwan and the Meng Qingyue of her past life is that she is progressing faster than Meng Qingyue.
