Chapter 165 Yellow Crystal Core
After the chaotic battle, everyone had some minor injuries and was quite exhausted.
There are many rotting corpses at night, and the highway is full of mutated marine animals...
There's no need to rush at this point; returning to our current location is the most appropriate course of action!
He Zhuo wiped his face, rubbing off a layer of sticky black paste between his fingers; even his teeth were stained with ink. "Damn it! Will this mutated squid's juice be impossible to wash off? What if my handsome face is ruined..."
"Don't worry." Gu Qi crossed his arms and looked him over, a playful smile curving his lips. "You blend into the darkness; you're safe."
He Zhuo...
The sky had already darkened, and as dusk fell, the temperature gradually dropped.
The stench of rotting corpses filled the air.
Survivors in the city are pouring out of the ruins.
Armed with various tools, they rushed toward the mutated seafood piled up on the shore.
As Lu Nange and her group crossed the street, the crowd parted as if Moses had parted the Sea.
After all, not long ago they had been peeping from behind a window and witnessed firsthand how this team killed the terrifying octopus that had taken up residence on the coast.
No one wants to mess with a team that can slay that kind of monster.
The survivors who were passing by immediately put away their weapons, retreated to the depths of the alley, and silently made way for the main road.
In this dog-eat-dog world of the apocalypse, strength is the best passport.
On the way back, the staggering, rotting corpses became the only creatures that dared to approach Lu Nange and her group.
......
After locking the door to the eighth-floor room, Lu Nange immediately took out the supplies from her spatial storage.
Wen Qing lay down on the bed and fell asleep immediately.
The others sat or leaned against something in the living room, queuing up to wash up.
After washing up, the boy took the iodine, bandages, and plasters that Lu Nange had brought out and applied medicine and bandaged the other person's wound.
Lu Nange disinfected the wound on Gu Wan's back in the room.
The thin scratches were left by rolling on the road while trying to avoid the octopus's tentacles.
He Zhuo was the last to enter the bathroom.
He Zhuo spent a full half hour in the bathroom, and when he came out, his skin was all red, looking like a cooked crab.
However, some squid ink remained on his arms and neck, which could not be removed even with shower gel and a brush.
Lu Beiye came over with an alcohol swab: "Brother He Zhuo, I saw on TV before that alcohol, white vinegar, or toothpaste can all clean squid ink..."
Before he could finish speaking, He Zhuo grabbed his head and ruffled it roughly: "Thanks, bro."
The vines coiled around the crystal core and the rotting corpse, twisting into protesting waves on the living room floor: "Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp..."
[Master, Master, Zhizhi wants a bubble bath! A fragrant one! The really sweet kind...]
Lu Nange took out a children's inflatable swimming pool from her spatial storage and placed it on the balcony. While Gu Qi was filling it with water, Lu Nange threw in a bath salt ball as well.
The branches immediately and happily plunged in, the vines weaving and twisting in the foam.
Gangzi jumped around anxiously on the balcony railing, shouting, "My beauty, play...gaa! Gaa gaa!"
[Beautiful lady, I like playing too, let me play too!]
Unfortunately, its wings were pulled back by the vines as soon as they touched the water.
Lu Nange had no choice but to bring out another inflatable pool, and now the entire balcony was completely filled with two inflatable pools.
As if suddenly remembering something, Zhizhi, who had been cleaned, released the main vine, and the crystal-clear yellow core rolled into Lu Nange's palm.
Gu Wan: "Nan Nan, right now only you, A Ye, and Yan Zhou can absorb level four crystal cores in the team. Even if we wanted to, we couldn't."
Chi Yanzhou looked at Lu Nange: "You use it."
Lu Nange: "I want Aye to use it first..."
"Sister, you go first." Lu Beiye immediately shook his head upon hearing this.
The child's eyes were determined: "Sis, you use it. At worst, we'll talk about it again when we get a level four crystal core."
Lu Nange stroked the crystal core, recalling her own mental power, and nodded slightly without refusing: "Okay, I'll use it first."
Inside the room, Wen Qing was curled up beside the bed...
Everyone ate something casually. Lu Nange planned to absorb a level-four crystal core that night. After finishing her meal, she said goodbye and went back to her room.
Lu Nange sat cross-legged on the bed, her hands folded together, holding a level-four crystal core in her palm.
As energy surged in, she felt as if she were soaking in a hot spring, and the fatigue from the battle and the soreness from exhaustion were all soothed.
The depleted supernatural power in the meridians, like sweet rain, began to flow and circulate joyfully.
When the last bit of energy was absorbed, the crystal nucleus turned into fine sand and flowed through the gaps between the fingers.
As morning light filtered through the gaps in the curtains, a thin golden line shimmered deep within Lu Nange's pupils the moment she opened her eyes, like the first rays of dawn at sunrise.
"Nan Nan, how are you feeling?" Gu Wan almost sat up abruptly.
