Chapter 41 I am not a metal-type ability user

Back in the RV, Meng Shiwan turned on the monitor and played a movie.

Take out meat, vegetables and other ingredients from the refrigerator, and then make some hot dishes to store in the refrigerator.

Stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stewed chicken with potatoes, braised eggplant, and the like.

While she was busy cooking and watching a movie, by the time she finished cooking the dishes, portioned them out, and put them in the refrigerator, it was already completely dark outside.

After washing up, Meng Shiwan lay on the sofa, feeling refreshed, and played some games before going to sleep.

I slept very comfortably last night with the air conditioner on and a light blanket covering me, and didn't get up until after 10 a.m.

She poured cat food for Ta Xue, then took a small, chilled drink from the refrigerator, drank it all in one gulp, and then went to the driver's seat to check on today's haul.

Having learned from the experience of the previous two days, Meng Shiwan knew roughly how many crystal cores she could produce each day, and she was no longer as excited as before.

The fact that the crystal nuclei are countable is still something to be happy about.

She sat in the driver's seat and counted carefully, "Ninety-eight. Adding the twelve left over from yesterday, I now have one hundred and ten, which can expand the space by one hundred and ten cubic meters."

Meng Shiwan pondered that if he stayed a few more days, he could accumulate several hundred crystal cores, which would be a very considerable gain.

She started the car and glanced at the fuel level.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it; Meng Shiwan's eyes widened in surprise.

"Almost empty? Does the zombie harvester use that much fuel? Let's go, we can't stay here, otherwise the RV won't be able to get out of the car once the diesel tank is empty."

Meng Shiwan, who had been leisurely just moments before, suddenly became quick and efficient.

Empty the crystal core collection box, return to the RV, take some cooked food from the refrigerator, grab two bottles of drinks, return to the driver's seat, start the vehicle, and drive away.

I was thinking of staying here a few more days to collect a few hundred crystal cores, but now I can forget about it.

She needs to leave from the nearest intersection and then find a gas station nearby to refuel.

Meng Shiwan was holding the steering wheel with her right hand while busy gnawing on a chicken leg with her left.

It was slow when we came in, and it was slow when we drove out.

After having eaten her fill, Meng Shiwan began to think about how to use the 110 crystal cores to upgrade the space there.

The two fuel tanks and the water tank are essential expansions and are currently the most important resources to stockpile.

Based on the fuel consumption of a light truck, it would require approximately 11,000 liters of diesel fuel to travel 100,000 kilometers.

Equivalent to eleven cubic meters.

It should last for one or two years without any problems. If you don't drive around every day, it can last even longer.

Based on this estimate, with both the diesel and gasoline tanks expanded to 30 cubic meters each, fuel shortages will not be a concern for several years.

We will expand the storage space once we obtain more crystal nuclei.

After figuring it out, Meng Shiwan summoned the RV perspective view and expanded the diesel and gasoline tanks, consuming sixty crystal cores.

Of the remaining fifty crystal cores, thirty will be used to expand the clean water tank and twenty to expand the pure water tank.

One hundred and ten crystal cores were used up just like that.

Even so, Meng Shiwan still felt it wasn't enough. She wished she could stockpile enough supplies for a lifetime, but unfortunately, she didn't have enough crystal cores to expand her space.

"Being content with what you have is already much better than my previous life."

She could only use these words to comfort her gluttonous desire to hoard goods.

Meng Shiwan drove off the national highway at the nearest intersection, and the number of zombies on the road immediately decreased significantly.

RVs can also be driven at higher speeds.

She used her phone to find the nearest gas station and looked up to see a helicopter hovering above the road ahead.

"What's going on? Why are these helicopters always circling around here?"

As she was thinking, the helicopter dropped a ladder, and someone climbed down the ladder. When they were still more than ten meters above the ground, they jumped down.

With a few thuds, the person landed, creating a crater in the ground. But the person acted as if nothing had happened and walked towards the RV.

Meng Shiwan frowned. "Hardened body, a metal-type ability user?"

Seeing the man walking towards her, Meng Shiwan became wary.

In the post-apocalyptic world, people with superpowers are at the very top of the pyramid, and various bases are vying for them.

In her previous life, Meng Shiwan struggled among ordinary people and wasn't even qualified to come into contact with people with superpowers.

What are these metal-type ability users doing here looking for her?

Meng Shiwan stopped the RV and watched him walk to the driver's side window, knock on the window glass, and smile.

Judging from their attitude, they don't seem to be here to cause trouble.

Meng Shiwan lowered the window a crack and said coldly, "What is it?"

The man smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Jiang Hanyu, and I am in charge of the seed base construction. I have detected that you may be a metal-type ability user, so I have come to invite you to join the seed base."

The current base construction and zombie slaughtering grounds both require metal-type ability users.

A city-wide search revealed fewer than ten individuals with metal-based superpowers, a situation that was urgently needed.

After confirming that Meng Shiwan might be a metal-type ability user and seeing her emerge from the zombie horde, Jiang Hanyu rushed over to try and win her over.

Meng Shiwan looked puzzled. "I'm a metal-type ability user?"

Does she not know whether she herself is a superhuman or not?

How come this person was chosen first?

On second thought, he probably assumed that she was a metal-type ability user who had reinforced the RV because it had been driven around in the zombie horde and was still intact.

It's a pity she's not a superhuman.

Meng Shiwan herself regrets this.

Just as she was about to refuse, she heard the other party continue, "Don't worry, the benefits at the seed base are very good. They provide food and lodging, and even distribute supplies. Your life is absolutely guaranteed. Joining is definitely worthwhile."

As he spoke, to show his enthusiasm and sincerity, he grinned widely, trying his best to present a perfect smile to Meng Shiwan.

Meng Shiwan: ...

"I am not a metal-type ability user."

Jiang Hanyu didn't believe it. The RV's metal was reinforced so much that a bunch of zombies couldn't even leave a mark on it. Even if it wasn't a metal-type ability user, it must be some other kind of ability user.

Regardless of the type of superhuman, a seed base is always necessary.

The rescue team is also in dire need of people with superpowers.

He smiled and said, "Ms. Meng, please don't be in such a hurry to refuse. This is my identification document from the seed base. The treatment is excellent, and what I say is true and valid. Please consider it, or just tell us what conditions you have, and we will try our best to meet them."

If she really didn't want to join, he couldn't force her to come back. He could only try to persuade Meng Shiwan by offering her better benefits.

In the apocalypse, survival guarantees and good living conditions are what move people the most.

Meng Shiwan was not surprised that he knew her surname; if the people at the seed base wanted to find out, they could easily do so.

She remained indifferent, saying, "No interest."

Jiang Hanyu scratched his head, unwilling to give up. "Think about it again. The benefits are very good. What do you want? Or do you have an enemy or something? Just tell us, and we can help you get it done."

Meng Shiwan: ...

Is it really worth spending this much to attract people with superpowers?

It has to be said that people with superpowers have a very high status in the apocalypse.

Unfortunately, she isn't!
