Chapter 11 Crystal Rain



After resting, Lin Xuan took Xiao Huang and continued climbing the stairs, pausing several times before finally arriving home.

Back home, we first found a strawberry-shaped little nest for Xiao Huang as a temporary place to stay.

I took out a small cat food bowl, a litter box, cat litter, and cat food. I poured a lot of cat food and water into Xiao Huang's bowl and filled the litter box with cat litter.

Regardless of whether he knew how to use it, he entered the space alone.

She had been working since 2 a.m. and was almost exhausted. She lay down on the sofa in the room and ate some bread and water.

Lin Xuan set her alarm for 9 p.m. and fell asleep with the last bite of bread still in her mouth.

"The Internationale must be realized..."

As the battle song began, Lin Xuan struggled to get up, took a shower, dried her hair, changed her clothes, and tidied herself up before leaving the space.

Little Yellow adapted very well at home, finishing all the cat food and water left for it, and even learning how to use the cat litter box on its own.

Lin Xuan scooped a large piece of poop out of the litter box, and now the kitten is sleeping on the living room sofa.

The sudden appearance of Lin Xuan made it raise its head alertly, its two eyes shining like two green light bulbs in the darkness.

Sensing the scent of the servant they had just taken in that day, they lay back down with peace of mind.

Lin Xuan provided Xiao Huang with cat food, water, and litter, then locked the cat in the house and went up to the roof alone.

She has something to do before everyone wakes up tomorrow.

In a past life, when people had just woken up and were about to face hideous and terrifying zombies, a round, angular stone the size of a ping-pong ball suddenly fell from the sky.

Already having to evade the pursuit and attacks of zombies, they now had to avoid the dense rain of stones, making the already desperate escape of the crowd even more dire.

People stumbled around like headless flies, getting torn apart by zombies, crushed by a rain of stones, or even pushed and trampled to death by fleeing crowds, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

Only a small number of people were lucky enough to survive this chaotic disaster.

Lin Xuan survived the initial chaos in the large warehouse in her previous life. She only learned about this strange stone rain later from Xia Feng and some other members of the team.

At that time, many speculations about the crystal rain circulated among the superhumans in the base.

The most prevalent theory is that people acquire their superpowers from these crystals that fall from the sky.

The shower of crystal stones stopped after a short while, and the crystals that fell to the ground quickly dissolved into the air.

Some people who accidentally touched this crystal, or whose bodies were hit by this stone, later awakened supernatural abilities.

Therefore, the superpowered individuals speculate that they awakened their superpowers by absorbing the energy from these crystals, and that their later enhancements were due to absorbing the energy from the crystals that had been absorbed into the air.

These energies are evenly distributed between heaven and earth. Some superhumans are more likely to absorb this energy, and their absorption speed is fast. Their bodies also have a large capacity for energy absorption, so their superhuman abilities are very powerful.

Some superhumans can only absorb a small amount of energy, and the absorption rate is slow, so their abilities will stagnate at a certain stage and cannot improve.

To put it more simply, some people's bodies contain energy in a 5-ton water tank, while others contain energy in a 1-liter bucket.

Once the water is used up, the amount of water that can be replenished is limited to the amount in the body's internal container. Before the 5T water tank is full, the ability can be improved, while the 1L water bucket is easily filled. This is how the difference in strength between ability users is widened.

In his previous life, Xia Feng was a powerful wind and lightning dual-elemental ability user. According to him, his body was like a bottomless pit, able to absorb the surrounding energy to his heart's content, and there was even a feeling that the energy concentration was not enough for him to absorb.

This feeling was unimaginable for Lin Xuan, who had no superpowers and relied on spatial abilities to impersonate one.

So now Lin Xuan has an idea: to collect as many of these crystals as possible and store them in the time-stopped basement warehouse before they melt away, to see if she can preserve them.

Then she can also come into contact with these crystals, and maybe she can awaken an offensive ability. If she can't awaken an ability, she can also charge her brother's ability.

The top floor was on the 33rd floor. After climbing another 13 flights of stairs, Lin Xuan was stopped by a large iron gate leading to the roof. She grabbed the handle and turned it, but oh no, it was locked!

Uh oh oh oh... what should she do? This was something she hadn't expected; she didn't know how to pick locks.

With one leg bent and the other straight, Lin Xuan was stuck on the stairs, facing a problem.

After searching the underground warehouse for a long time, the consciousness finally found a small handheld chainsaw in the hardware storage area.

I took out the small chainsaw and fiddled with it for a while, only to find that it had no power...

Without panicking at all, I found a portable power bank near the outdoor equipment store. This one absolutely had to have power.

Plug it in, turn on the switch, and the little chainsaw starts up with a "buzzing" sound.

Place the high-powered flashlight on the portable power source, put on a pair of work gloves, goggles, and a mask, and begin work.

After a flurry of activity, Lin Xuan finally managed to break the lock on the door. This guy had put in a lot of effort, and she was so tired that her entire back of her T-shirt was soaked with sweat.

After throwing all the tools used in the crime into the space, Lin Xuan first swept the entire rooftop with a flashlight.

There was nothing else on it except for a few solar panels.

Using the available space, Lin Xuan moved the boards to the side, secured the flashlight, and then pulled out a plastic sheet from the agricultural university to start laying the roof.

Use tiles you bought from a building materials market to weigh down one side of the plastic sheet, then let the roll of plastic sheet roll over on the ground to the other end.

Three rows of plastic sheeting were laid along the roof to completely cover the ground level of the roof, and then empty packaging boxes and foam cartons received from the cold chain factory were placed on the plastic sheeting.

Her idea was to use these boxes to collect as many crystals as possible, and then, before the crystals melted, she would collect all the boxes placed on the plastic sheeting of the greenhouse into her space.

After finishing all that, it was already past midnight. Back in her room, she washed her face, brushed her teeth, set her alarm for 5 a.m. the next morning, and then crawled into bed and fell asleep instantly.

She has always slept very well, and nothing that happens can keep her from sleeping.

5:00 AM on July 18, 20XX

Lin Xuan woke up on time, washed up, and prepared a ceremonial breakfast for herself.

Pan-fried bacon and an egg, an energy bagel with a small box of butter, and a hot caramel-flavored instant coffee.

From today onwards, the apocalypse she knew will begin anew.

Keep going, Lin Xuan! You must live well and stay with your brother until the very end.

Around 6 o'clock, Lin Xuan left the space.

She placed a single sofa in the hallway on the top floor, sat on it, and played the single-player game "Vegetables vs. Zombies" on a tablet while waiting.

The world restarted only after the first terrified and helpless scream rang out.

Lin Xuan looked up at the gray sky outside the window; the apocalyptic game had begun.
