Chapter 50: Earth Ability Awakening
Just when Ji Wanwan felt that she was about to be completely wrapped by these vines, these vines suddenly withered and fell down limply.
She looked at the plants under her feet in surprise and found that the land beneath her feet was dry and cracked, without a trace of life.
Just as she was wondering, Ji Wanwan felt that the land beneath her feet had come alive again and was carrying her to a safe place.
Unlike the devastating destruction caused by the giant zombie's rage, this feeling of earthquake made Ji Wanwan feel more at ease.
She understood something in an instant.
Who is it?
She glanced around and found that Qi Hao was staring at the wood-type mutant with a fierce look, and a faint earthy-brown fluorescence was emitting around him.
It turned out to be a rat!
At this time, Haozi awakened his earth-related abilities!
Ji Wanwan smiled brightly, feeling greatly encouraged.
Qi Hao, who had been silently guarding her, felt his heart tremble when he saw this smile.
[Superpower upgrade...]
[Superpower upgrade...]
[Superpower upgrade...]
[Power upgrade, current power level 5]
After rising five levels, a huge tearing sensation and pleasure intertwined in Qi Hao's body, making him feel both happy and painful.
The wood-type mutant not far away only felt that Qi Hao suddenly awakened, and then his whole body stiffened. After his expression changed strangely, Qi Hao's aura became stronger!
Why did this person level up so quickly?
While shocked, the man did not forget to re-control the plants to resist Qi Hao's attack.
Ji Wanwan was also stunned for a moment.
How come Qi Hao is just like Xu Siming, becoming stronger all of a sudden without any signs?
It makes people jealous to the point of madness!
Seeing that there was another awakened person on Ji Wanwan's side, the wood-type mutant was planning to run away.
The crystal core has not been retrieved yet, so Qi Hao and Ji Wanwan will never give him a chance to escape.
Xia Li, no longer restrained by the plants, also chased after him: "Where are you going! Leave the crystal core behind!"
"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!!"
An inappropriate childish voice suddenly emerged.
The three of them were stunned at the same time and subconsciously restrained themselves a little.
"Brother! Give the crystal core back to them! Stop fighting with them!"
The voice appeared again, and Ji Wanwan discovered that there was a soft and cute little girl at the place where the wood-type mutant had just jumped down.
At this time, the little girl was tilting her head, blinking her bright deer eyes, and looking at the people fighting with a look of worry and anxiety on her face.
The little girl's eyes were innocent and contained no ill intentions.
Ji Wanwan stopped and stopped her teammates who were eager to try.
She paused slightly and looked at the little girl carefully. She found that the girl was wrapped in layers of plants from the waist down, and her cheeks were also an unusual grayish white.
This little girl is obviously dying.
so……
"You stole the crystal core for that child?"
Although Ji Wanwan was asking a question, her tone was firm.
The wood-type mutant didn't expect the little girl to come out. He whispered in frustration and pity, "Go in quickly!"
The little girl bit her lip in grievance, lowered her head, tears about to fall: "Brother, please return the crystal core to me, I can't cure it..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" The man uttered a low cry, and the energy in his hand fluctuated. The intertwined plants instantly broke out of the ground, forming an impenetrable net between him and Ji Wanwan and the others, blocking the two groups of people.
"Want to run?!"
Xia Li narrowed her seductive eyes.
The knife flashed, and the large plant net in front of them was instantly broken. The man had already run away with the little girl.
The 4 crystal cores must be obtained, Ji Wanwan blocked the man's way with a teleportation.
The man paused.
This woman's energy seems endless and endless!
She was so weak from exhaustion that she couldn't even stand, but now she was able to teleport directly in front of him!
Damn, that's tricky!
A fierce light gradually appeared in the man's eyes.
He shook his head in pain: "I don't want to hurt anyone, don't force me!"
Ji Wanwan looked at him relentlessly: "It must be very difficult for you to survive with your sister in the apocalypse, right?"
She flipped her wrist, and a green crystal core appeared in her palm. "You have considerable energy and skill. I imagine you've fought many battles since the apocalypse. So you should still have a crystal core, right?"
The man remained silent, staring at the green crystal core.
It seems that my guess was correct. Ji Wanwan curled her lips and said, "You need the green crystal core because you can resonate with it, maximize your supernatural powers, and better help you save your sister."
The man withdrew his gaze from the crystal core and silently looked at the other people who were chasing him.
"So? What are you trying to do by stating the obvious? To stall for time?"
Ji Wanwan shook her head and gestured to Xia Li and the others to stop.
Seeing this, several people stopped, but did not let down their guard.
"I'm telling you this because you can trade me for any other crystal cores you have, but we shot down this blue one, so don't even think about getting it for free!"
The man's brow relaxed.
After a brief silence, he said sullenly, "I don't have any other crystal cores. I've traded all my crystal cores for wood-type crystal cores on the black market."
"black market?!"
Ji Wanwan was startled.
Less than a month after the apocalypse began, the black market has already appeared?
this……
In the previous life, the black market only gradually appeared half a year after the end of the world, but this time it appeared so much earlier!
Ji Wanwan’s reaction surprised the man: “Don’t you know there’s a black market?”
That's strange.
Look at this group of people, they are well-equipped and almost all of them are people with special abilities, but they don’t even know the existence of the black market.
Ji Wanwan twirled her fingertips. "Where is the black market? What do they sell?"
This information could be heard everywhere, and the man didn't hide anything: "There's an underground casino on the outskirts of Liancheng. Not long after the apocalypse, it became Liancheng's largest black market, selling all kinds of crystal cores, weapons, medicines, and even imprisoned zombie pets."
"Zombie pet..."
Ji Wanwan's mouth twitched.
People who keep this thing as a pet really have unique hobbies.
In her previous life, Ji Wanwan had been to the black market several times, mostly to buy supplies.
As far as I can remember, places like the black market require special access. You can't just enter them casually, especially for ordinary people. It would cost a lot of money to get in.
Ji Wanwan came back to her senses: "How do I get into the black market?"
The man didn't say anything, but lowered his eyes to look at the crystal core in Ji Wanwan's hand, and curled his lips with a smile.
Only by doing everything possible to gain benefits for yourself can you live longer in the apocalypse.
Ji Wanwan could understand this behavior.
She smiled and looked down at the little girl in the man's arms: "There are supplies in my shelter. If you want to save her, I can help you, but you have to listen to me. You have to do whatever I tell you to do!"
The man didn't move: "Why should I trust you?"
Ji Wanwan stored the green crystal core into her space: "Believe it or not, even without you, I still have a way to enter the black market. But without this wood crystal core, it's hard to say how long your sister can hold on..."
