Chapter 127 Zombies = Crystal Cores
After spending a week at the temple, the group continued their journey under the cover of night.
Visibility was somewhat obstructed at night, so after closing the temple door, everyone squeezed into the same RV.
When we reached the previously congested section of road, the vehicles were still there, but the crowd had all disappeared.
Dried limbs lay scattered on the ground, like gnawed branches.
With a wave of his hand, Lu Nange caused the entire row of abandoned cars to vanish instantly, and the road became wide open.
As dawn approached, the roadside was lined with nothing but trees.
Chi Yanzhou: "If we look ahead and there's nowhere to settle down, we'll wait in the woods until it gets dark."
At seven o'clock in the morning, the red liquid column of the thermometer began to climb anxiously, and there was still no place to stand by the roadside.
Chi Yi turned the RV around, crushing low shrubs and carving a path through the dense woods.
Everyone quickly got out of the car, and Lu Nange put the car into her spatial storage.
Gangzi spread its wings and flew ahead, with ice crystals falling and cooling the air with each flap of its wings.
The 'twigs' hopped and skipped, clearing a path, and wherever the vines swept past, the thorny brambles retreated.
After finding several ancient trees with canopies spread out like giant umbrellas, Chi Yi knelt down on one knee, palm facing the ground, and cleared a circular space.
Lu Nange took out two RVs from her spatial storage.
The tree canopy blocked the increasingly scorching sunlight, leaving only scattered patches of light on the car roof.
With a "chirp," the vines extending from its ankles climbed up the big tree outside the car, and the once dormant tree began to sprout new branches and buds.
It formed a giant cocoon around the two vehicles.
The rustling sound of leaves rustling was particularly clear in the enclosed space, and the world outside the car window was filtered into varying shades of green light.
Looking out the glass window, all around were layers upon layers of vines.
Inside the male RV, He Zhuo pressed his entire face against the window: "I solemnly take back what I said when I scolded Zhizhi. She is just too cute. She has grown into my heart. She is an essential artifact for survival in the apocalypse!"
Gu Qi: "Stop drooling, that's Nan Nan's."
He Zhuo: "Oh right, I apologized to it. I was yelling at it too loudly back then, after all, it can protect Mei Bao."
The walkie-talkie crackled, and Lu Nange's voice came through: "You can rest assured, Zhizhi will be on guard."
Nevertheless, the boys' team still left two people on duty as per the rules.
At six o'clock in the evening, everyone stretched and got off the bus one after another.
The branches still maintain the vine barrier, clearing out a space within.
After everyone got off the vehicle, Lu Nange waved her hand and the RV disappeared, replaced by a huge dining table.
The still-steaming food was neatly arranged on the table.
Zhizhi and Gangzi sat at Lu Nange's table, holding the fruit that Lu Nange had grown, and happily devoured it.
After filling their stomachs, it was only 7 p.m., so everyone could only walk slowly around the vines to digest their food.
At exactly eight o'clock, Lu Nange gently stroked the top of Zhizhi's sprouting hair: "Zhizhi, you can put it away now."
The vines receded like a tide, revealing the tree canopy dyed orange-red by the setting sun, but the heat wave had not yet completely subsided.
The group walked onto the road, which was still scorching hot.
Lu Nange brought out the modified RV, and everyone filed in.
Around 3 a.m., the outline of the entrance to Shunshi City appeared in the headlights.
But what's even more exciting is the zombies attracted by the engine noise.
The quantity was small, but the speed was incredibly fast.
"Get out of the car!" Chi Yanzhou leaned halfway out of the passenger seat, and with a wave of his hand, several bolts of lightning cleaved through the night, blasting the zombies charging at the front into convulsions.
He Zhuo nimbly jumped out of the car: "The delivery guys for the crystal cores are here!"
Lu Nange withdrew her mental probe and shouted, "Don't let your guard down! There are two level-three zombies behind us, and the rest are level-two zombies."
After everyone got out of the car, Lu Nange put Zhizhi in Wen Qing's arms and said, "Zhizhi, you and Gangzi protect Sister Wen Qing."
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
[Don't worry, Master!]
"Beauty, quack quack!"
[My beauty, you can rest assured now that I've taken care of you.]
The little tree-man wrapped its vines around Wen Qing's waist, while Wen Qing gripped the hilt of the Tang sword with his right hand, and Gangzi landed on Wen Qing's left shoulder.
The car headlights illuminated the area ahead as if it were daytime, and the light of supernatural abilities flickered.
Lu Xici waved his hand, and a fireball slammed into the zombies in front of him: "It's that group of people who came to the temple before!"
The zombie raised its hand and summoned a jet of water, extinguishing the fireball with a "whoosh".
Lu Xici rolled to the side to avoid the water jet attack, shouting at He Zhuo, who was closest to her, "Old He, switch to a zombie! My water-based ability is a counter to my special power!"
Upon hearing this, He Zhuo immediately changed direction, his earth spikes still flying, and squinted to make out the group: "Holy crap! It really is that group! Brother Ci, I'm coming, I'm coming!"
As he ran, he looked around, his tone absurd: "In this heat, they're just wandering around on the highway, aren't their feet burning hot?"
Lightning flashed in the middle of the highway as Chi Yanzhou clashed fiercely with a level-three fire-type zombie.
As Chi Yanzhou dodged the zombie fireballs, his lightning whip crackled through the air, shattering the oncoming flames.
Lu Beiye was small in stature but fast and strong. He swung his hands repeatedly, sending golden throwing knives stabbing at the level-three earth-type zombie from all angles.
The zombie roared angrily and erected an earthen wall.
Gu Wan and Luo Xingyou worked back-to-back, with Gu Wan's fire-based abilities igniting the attacking zombies, while Luo Xingyou finished them off.
Ji Xian hovered around Gu Qi, playing a supporting role.
Relying solely on his level one wood-type ability and a dagger, Chi Yi single-handedly slaughtered three level two zombies, blood dripping continuously from the dagger...
Lu Nange remained near Lu Beiye, using her wind blades to reap the level-two zombies while her mental power enveloped the entire area, allowing everyone to train while ensuring that no one was truly in danger.
