Chapter 279 Independent Battle...
A chilling mist permeated the surroundings, the lingering effects of the rampage by the level four ice-type zombies.
He Zhuo and Ji Xian darted through the ice spikes at high speed, their figures blocked by layers of earth spikes and shields.
The next second, countless thorny vines surged out wildly. Chi Yi focused his gaze, and the vines instantly bound the ice-type level four zombie into a thick cocoon.
Just as the zombie struggled violently, controlling its ice blades to tear through the vines, Gu Qi silently approached and struck. The level four ice-type zombie visibly withered away...
Meanwhile, Lu Nange and her companions were already burning the zombie corpses scattered all over the ground...
"Sister Bao..." He Zhuo's face was filled with excitement, his heart pounding with anticipation: [They teamed up to kill a level four zombie...]
He and Gu Qi quickly stepped forward and handed a level 4 ice crystal core and another level 4 earth crystal core to Lu Nange.
He Zhuo: "Sweetie, didn't we have a good day?"
Lu Nange first stored the crystal core in her spatial storage, then nodded: "Quite good."
The hospital truly lives up to its reputation as a zombie-infested area.
After most of the day, the harvest was plentiful: not to mention the piles of level one and two crystal cores, they had obtained five level four crystal cores alone, namely ice, fire, earth, metal, and wood elements. This not only temporarily solved the crystal core problem for the RV, but also improved everyone's strength, which was quite gratifying...
After the zombie corpses were completely burned, Chi Yanzhou raised his hand, and the melted ice walls around him condensed again, returning to their crystal-clear appearance.
Lu Nan, the singer, raised her head slightly. A gentle breeze swept by, and the acrid smell that permeated the air gradually faded away.
The group walked to the empty crossroads, surrounded by ice sculptures and howling winds.
With a wave of her hand, Lu Nange conjured up a massive "Youyou" brand RV, casting a shadow on the ice.
Standing in front of the car door, the crowd lined up to disinfect each other with alcohol spray.
After boarding the bus, everyone hurriedly took off all their gear, including gloves, hats, masks, and goggles.
He Zhuo grimaced and rubbed his fingers: "I hate winter. I accidentally tore off a little bit of my glove just now, and it was so cold that I almost thought I was in the underworld..."
Gu Wan: "I also hate extreme cold. It makes me feel like a frozen product in a supermarket freezer..."
Wen Qing had already started rolling up her sleeves: "Xingyou and I are going to take a shower first, so we can prepare lunch."
Lu Nange scrolled through her online space: "Sister Wenqing, you've been busy all morning, it must be tiring... Why don't we skip cooking? We can just eat what's ready-made. We still have plenty of hot food we stocked up on..."
Wen Qing shook her head: "Nan Nan, save those for emergencies. It's so cold; we should eat something hot."
She was already walking towards the bathroom when she said that.
Luo Xingyou added with a smile, "Yeah, Nan Nan, we earned a lot of crystal cores killing zombies today. The joy of making money... let's celebrate with a good lunch."
Lu Nange took out a bunch of ingredients from the sign-in rewards in her space.
When she first took out the fresh ingredients rewarded by the system from her spatial storage, she thought that unlike other supplies, at least people would mention them or ask about them...
The result was that no matter when, everyone's reaction was surprisingly consistent - a group of people all put their hands behind their backs and looked like they were saying, "I'm not listening, I'm not listening."
He washes the vegetables, tidies up, and eats when it's time to eat, without asking a single extra question.
Lu Nange simply started to give up. Anyway, no one was asking, and she couldn't let 'Cherry Little Mouth' suffer, could she?
Every day, a variety of fruits, drinks, frozen foods, steaks, Australian lobsters, king crabs... are served in rotation; basically, whatever you can grab, that's what you get...
However, if particularly unusual ingredients are used, you're bound to "bump into" everyone frequently that night...
Even the most irresponsible He Zhuo would remind her, "Sister, the supermarket we took over has been without power for a long time. Keep some things for yourself... You know, don't flaunt your wealth, right? Human nature is unpredictable..."
Lu Nange opened her mouth: "..."
He Zhuo turned and ran: "Don't tell me, I don't want to know, use your brain..."
......
Chi Yanzhou and the others glanced at the dazzling array of ingredients on the cooking table, then rolled up their sleeves and began to prepare them.
Chi Yanzhou: "You guys go wash up first, the rest of us will prepare the ingredients."
Lu Nange, Gu Wan, and Luo Xingyou nodded: "Thank you for your hard work!"
After this period of training, Chi Yanzhou and the others are no longer the pampered young masters and ladies who know nothing about farming or have never lifted a finger. They can now handle most basic ingredients and even know that Boston lobsters need to "urinate"...
After everyone had finished washing up and changing into clean clothes, a mouthwatering aroma wafted from the island counter.
Chef Wen Qing, assisted by Luo Xingyou—garlic ribs fried to a golden crisp, steamed sea bass sizzling with hot oil, glistening prawns coated in wasabi sauce, tomato and beef brisket bubbling in a clay pot, and the aroma of the claypot rice with Chinese sausage filling the air the moment the lid was lifted...
On the island table were also spicy and sour baby bok choy and three-delicacy soup, as well as dishes that Wen Qing would prepare separately for Lu Beiye every meal—today it was tender steamed egg with shrimp and sweet and sour pork.
He Zhuo: "Once you've seen the ocean, other waters seem insignificant. Pork ribs and beef brisket with rice, life is too short, have another bowl...!" He then filled another bowl with claypot rice.
When everyone had almost finished eating, Lu Nange put down her chopsticks and said, "The rest are mostly level three or lower zombies. Let's rest for a bit, and then we can finish clearing them all out before tonight?"
Gu Qi glanced at Lu Nange and the others: "If they're all below level three... Yan-ge, Nannan, Ci-ge, A-ye, Lao Shi, why don't you rest in the car this afternoon? Leave the rest to us."
Gu Wan wiped her mouth and chimed in, "Yeah, Nan Nan, this is a good opportunity for us to practice more and improve our combat capabilities. Last time we were scattered during the earthquake, I felt my strength was still too weak."
Ji Xian nodded in agreement: "Practice makes perfect."
Luo Xingyou poked at the rice in her bowl: "I also want to get stronger quickly. Wanwan and I couldn't even beat that level four zombie in a two-on-one fight. If Nannan hadn't intervened, we..."
"Yeah, yeah, I want to go too! I want to go too!" He Zhuo hurriedly swallowed the beef brisket in his mouth: "I feel like my control over my superpowers improves after every fight!"
Chi Yi: "I feel the same way. Every time I overexert my powers, my control increases! Powers are like muscles; the more you train them, the stronger they become."
Wen Qing: "I want to go too. I feel like I can handle low-level zombies without any problems..."
Lu Nange and the others exchanged glances and nodded...
After clearing the dining table, everyone took a short nap in the RV for an hour.
He Zhuo and the others began to wrap themselves in protective gear like nesting dolls—protective jackets, masks, hats, gloves... and finally, they didn't forget to stick on hand warmers.
Fully armed, the seven people disembarked one by one.
Chi Yanzhou followed behind the group, parking the RV across the middle of the street to ensure he could keep an eye on everyone's situation at all times...
