32. Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting.
Ye Kai rummaged through the bloody mess and found a crystal core.
Just as he was about to hand it over to Xu Xing, he was stopped.
Xu Xing said, "You can keep this. Absorbing high-level crystal cores will allow you to evolve faster. There might be tough battles to fight later."
As for Xu Xing, he already had the crystal core of the mutated rat king, and a whole bunch of low-level crystal cores, which was enough for absorption.
Besides, how could the leader possibly steal his brothers' spoils?
If it were the survivors, he could just take it; Xu Xing didn't even care about Wang Lei and his brother.
If someone makes an irreparable mistake, they will still be executed without hesitation.
After speaking, Xu Xing suddenly remembered his current strength as a mid-stage level two cultivator.
For some reason, Xu Xing always felt that each time his strength increased, the dangers he encountered became greater than the last.
In his previous life, at this point in time, he had never even encountered a level two zombie.
Looking at the present, level two zombies are commonplace, and encountering normal zombies is basically just replenishing Xu Xing's warehouse.
Apart from their large numbers, they pose virtually no threat to Xu Xing.
Human desires are endless. After becoming stronger, one always wants to become even stronger, but the resistance encountered usually also increases, just like it is now.
Xu Xing, who was originally full of confidence in his own strength, has been reassessed with each encounter.
The conclusion is that it's not enough!
Xu Xing ultimately decided to rest and replenish his supplies here first, and also absorb the captured crystal cores.
Anyway, the zombie has been trapped here for the past two or three days, and the dog hasn't smelled anything special.
Xu Xing then boldly decided to rest here.
Xu used his telekinetic power to clear away the residue from before.
From the Walmart warehouse, I found a portable small table and a few small stools.
It was placed directly in the center of the room. Of course, the zombie bodies that had previously affected the appetite were also thrown into the hospital lobby.
Seeing this strange scene, Ye Kai spoke up directly.
"Shouldn't we continue up?"
Xu Xing patted Ye Kai on the shoulder as a reminder.
"Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood. Let's have a simple meal first to recover our strength, then absorb the crystal cores, and finally clean up the other areas."
With that, Xu Xing asked them to sit down first.
I should close the door myself first; that should at least stop the pungent smell of disinfectant.
I just got back and casually pulled out a box of delicate cream strawberries, handing it to Su Xixi.
Before Su Xixi could make a move, Bai Ling, who had been recuperating in her arms, wrinkled her nose and opened her big eyes instantly.
"I want to eat!"
Bai Ling used her mental power to transmit these words directly into the minds of the group.
At the same time, Bai Ling used her claws to make an embracing motion and tore a hole in a box of strawberries on the table.
He picked out the biggest one and naturally hugged it to his chest.
It opens its little mouth, savors each bite slowly, and occasionally makes comments.
"Delicious! You should have told me sooner that you had this. If you want me to do something for you in the future, you have to give me a box of this... no, three boxes."
Bai Ling was completely absorbed in eating the strawberry, and even when she used her mental power to transmit a message, the sound of her chewing could be faintly heard.
Xu Xing was also quite helpless. Aren't other people's cats supposed to eat meat and mice?
Why is it that when you come here, you've switched to eating vegetarian food, and even fruit at that?
But this is for the best. Xu Xing had always thought that it was impossible to easily subdue such an extremely rare mutated beast.
He was even thinking about whether he should direct and act out a few dramas in the future to make Bai Ling completely dependent on him, but he never expected that this guy would be such a foodie.
Even a box of strawberries could bribe her, and in the apocalypse, it seems that only Xu Xing could offer fresh fruit.
I wonder what Bai Ling will look like when she transforms into human form.
Seeing that the box of strawberries had been taken, Xu Xing handed another box to Su Xixi.
Next, he selected some of the dishes prepared by his five-star chefs and brought them out.
Soon the entire table was filled with simple and unpretentious Shandong dishes.
Including "Nine-Turned Intestines, Sweet and Sour Carp, Braised Sea Cucumber with Scallions, Cuttlefish Roe Soup, Egg White Chicken Slices, Dezhou Braised Chicken..."
Instantly, the fragrance filled the surroundings, even masking the lingering smell of disinfectant in the room.
Shandong cuisine, as the top of the eight major cuisines, is exceptionally delicious, but its preparation process is quite complex, making it even more difficult to achieve truly excellent flavor.
Even Xu Xing's own five-star hotel doesn't have many chefs like this.
Taking these things out was, of course, to express the importance attached to Ye Kai and the others, and secondly, it was really to replenish their energy.
Even the dog got a plate of braised pork knuckle.
Bai Ling, however, showed no interest in any of this and continued to nibble on the giant strawberry in her arms.
Even now, in the context of the entire post-apocalyptic world, you absolutely cannot find such a sumptuous lunch.
For a long time to come, no one else will be able to eat dishes like these, which are made fresh to order.
Even some leaders of settlements, at most, would indulge in a canned food as a luxury.
After a few glasses of iced cola, Xu Xing's team gradually dispelled the tense atmosphere that had been building up.
People get tired under high pressure, especially after experiencing so much in just one morning.
