Like everyone else, the Bai family rushed towards the perimeter of the safe base without any hesitation.
Bai Zhengxuan ran the fastest because he had already registered with Song Hongfei. He was a three-elemental ability user (water, wood, fire) and could use water to cool down scorching, charred substances.
You can earn some extra money.
Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai walked side by side. Even though Bai Xizhu had no memory of Leng Yebai, her body still subconsciously leaned towards him.
It feels both familiar and strange.
"If you're scared, we can go back together. I'll make you some barbecue when we get back."
Leng Yebai said with a doting expression.
No, I'm not hungry.
Bai Xizhu's eyes lit up, but she still refused.
She wanted to see what the outside world looked like. She didn't know much about crystal cores, but she knew they must be very valuable in the apocalypse.
Since she doesn't have any special abilities now, she might as well do what she can!
Fortunately, the bus usually kept some useful everyday tools, so Bai Xizhu wouldn't lack supplies even when she couldn't enter the space.
The Bai family members were dressed very neatly, each wearing a thick mask, rubber shoes, gloves, and a sharp dagger tucked into their legs, making them the most well-equipped of everyone.
Even through the thick mask, Bai Xizhu could smell a strong, acrid odor. As soon as she stepped out of the safe zone, everything went black.
All that could be seen was pitch black; it was impossible to distinguish between ashes, charred plants, or the blackened earth.
Bai Xizhu's first reaction was that it was too hot and smelled too bad.
Amidst the black ashes, a faint orange flame can still be seen, glowing and radiating heat beneath the ashes.
If you accidentally step on ashes, your shoe soles will definitely get burned.
The strong, fishy smell indicates that this place was once inhabited by zombie corpses, and if you are accidentally scratched, you will definitely get infected.
Bai Xizhu swallowed hard, barely managing to suppress the churning in her stomach.
"Eat this!"
Before she knew it, a light green mint was handed to Bai Xizhu. When she looked up, she saw Leng Yebai.
Leng Yebai was also wearing a thick mask, and his cold and handsome eyebrows were slightly curved, revealing that he was smiling.
Bai Xizhu subconsciously reached out and took the mint candy, then put it in her mouth without thinking.
The subtle minty aroma filled my mouth, instantly reducing the strong, burnt smell.
"Sis, what are you eating? Is there anything else?"
Bai Yifan tilted his head to look at Bai Xizhu, who was eating a mint, blinked, and held out his finger.
He planned to eat as much as possible now, because he wouldn't have time to eat when the competition for crystal cores started later.
"Eat this, it's all yours."
Leng Yebai calmly stuffed a lot of snacks into Bai Yifan's hand, including all kinds of snacks except for mints.
The mints were for Xiaozhu.
Thank you!
Bai Yifan grinned, quickly tore open the package, and without even looking at what it was, threw it all into his mouth to quickly replenish his energy.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle --
The water-type ability users had already begun cooling down the scorching charred material. Only a few ice-type ability users were doing the cooling, with the water-type ability users being the main force.
They were worried that the bones and ashes would freeze together, making them difficult to excavate.
The superhumans stood at intervals, each radiating a faint blue light. Water appeared out of thin air beside them, then gathered into streams of varying sizes and rushed towards the black charcoal.
When water and coke meet, they sizzle instantly, and a gray mist rises up.
These water droplets contained the ashes of zombies, and at this moment, the wind was also on the side of the human survivors, blowing the water droplets in a direction completely opposite to the safe base.
Bai Zhengxuan was standing right in front of the Bai family. He appeared to be the oldest among these water-based ability users, yet he generated the most water flow.
Even Song Ning, who is known as a young genius, couldn't create as much water flow as Bai Zhengxuan.
In order to collect more crystal cores, people tacitly agreed not to stand together in groups, but to spread out around the safe base.
The security base was already quite large. As soon as the Bai family members stood there, everyone else, seeing how well-equipped they were, instinctively moved away from them and went to find other spots.
Even so, there were still quite a few people standing near the Bai family. But there was no need to worry about not having enough crystal cores. With so many zombie corpses, it would take a whole day and night to collect them all.
Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the Bai family. Besides the Bai family's complete equipment, the one who was most eye-catching was Bai Zhengxuan.
This old man's hair looks completely white. His superpower is truly incredible. Other superpowered individuals would take a break when summoning water, but this old man remains vigorous despite his advanced age.
He didn't seem tired at all; on the contrary, you could see a strong light shining in his eyes.
These people seem to see the joy of a long-oppressed husband hoarding secret savings before the apocalypse.
This feeling can only be understood by married people.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle --
As the water mist increased, there were still many areas where the water had not cooled down for this massive horde of zombies, and the temperature remained frighteningly high.
However, the temperature has dropped in areas closer to the safe base, so it's time to collect the crystal cores.
"Xiao Fan, Xiao Hai, that's enough! Hurry up and pick them up!"
Bai Zhengxuan quickly moved aside, gesturing for the Bai family father and son to pick up the spot where he had just cooled down.
