"Lily, congratulations, you've officially become Brother Lei's woman."
As soon as Ma Jing walked down the stairs, she heard Sarah's congratulatory voice.
"Sarah, from now on we'll be even closer sisters!"
A hint of joy lingered in Ma Jing's voice.
"Of course!"
Sarah responded.
"Congratulations, Ma Jing!"
Chen Xueer also sent her blessings to Ma Jing.
"Thanks!"
Ma Jing smiled and nodded.
"Congratulations to Brother Lei on the addition of another beauty to his harem!"
Xia Yuhe said jokingly.
"Haha, yes, our team is getting bigger and bigger!"
Everyone echoed this sentiment.
"Brother Lei, you're amazing!"
Xu Jiao exclaimed in admiration.
......
The many beautiful women looked at the bright red mark on Ma Jing's forehead and understood what had happened.
"Alright, I hope everyone can stay united and work together for the prosperity and growth of the shelter!"
Ye Lei, who was sitting in the first seat, shouted loudly.
"Don't worry, Brother Lei, it won't be long before the shelter can't accommodate any more people!"
Tang Xiaoting said with a smile.
"Given the current trend, it's certainly very possible. Brother Lei, you need to think of a way to solve this problem!"
Beanna reminded her.
"Don't worry, I've already chosen a new location for the shelter. It's not only vast, but also in a prime location. I'll welcome as many people as they want!"
Ye Lei smiled and said confidently.
Upon hearing this, everyone asked in unison, full of curiosity, "Where is it?"
"A narrow gorge, do you know what that is?"
Ye Lei raised an eyebrow, keeping everyone in suspense.
"Is it that 5A-level scenic spot?"
"Before the apocalypse, I used to go there often!"
"It's very cool in there; it's chilly even in summer!"
"Brother Lei is amazing! He found such a great spot!"
"Hasn't Brother Lei given us enough surprises already?"
"Yes, Brother Lei, when are we moving in?"
Finally, someone asked the crucial question.
Ye Lei smiled slightly, took a sip of his chilled drink, and then slowly said, "In the next couple of days!" His tone was relaxed and confident, as if everything was under control.
"We're leaving in the next couple of days? But we still have time to pack up. What about this shelter?"
"Of course we'll move there! Do you think we should rebuild it all over again?"
Ye Lei said with a smile.
"That's a huge project! Is there anything we can do to help?"
"No need for help. Oh, by the way, bring the walkie-talkie. I'll let Zhao Meili know that she's coming with us this time!"
"Alright, Brother Lei, here you go."
Bena took the walkie-talkie and handed it to Ye Lei.
"Zhao Meili, Zhao Meili, are you there? Please speak!"
Ye Lei pressed the button on the walkie-talkie and shouted, but there was no response for a long time.
"Zhao Meili, speak!"
Ye Lei raised his voice, but there was still no response.
"What happened? Did you speak with them today?"
Ye Lei sensed something was wrong.
"We talked on the phone this morning, and she said everything was fine!"
Xia Yuhe said.
"Where did you go? You didn't say anything!"
Ye Lei asked, puzzled.
"She probably went to take a dump!"
Xia Yuhe blurted out.
"Pfft... Sister Yuhe, we're eating right now, you... haha..."
Benana spat out the food in her mouth and laughed so hard she bent over.
Seeing this, Xia Yuhe was extremely embarrassed and quickly explained, "Haha... I'm sorry, I was just saying it casually!"
However, this did not quell Beanna's laughter; she continued to laugh heartily, almost to the point of tears.
Xia Yuhe felt very apologetic. She realized that her words were somewhat inappropriate, especially bringing up such a topic during a meal, which was really not suitable.
At this moment, Ye Lei couldn't help but laugh, but he tried his best to remain calm and said to Xia Yuhe, "Maybe she really has something to do and has to leave."
"Okay, I'm full. I'll go upstairs now. Let me know when you get in touch with her!"
Ye Lei got up to leave the dining table and went upstairs.
Xia Yuhe asked with some concern, "Brother Lei, you're not really so angry with me that you're full of anger, are you?"
She began to reflect on her behavior just now, wondering if she had been too rash and had affected Ye Lei's appetite.
Ye Lei smiled and comforted her, "No, Yuhe, I'm really full. I'm going upstairs now!"
His tone was relaxed and natural, as if he didn't care about Xia Yuhe's joke.
Hearing Ye Lei say that, Xia Yuhe breathed a slight sigh of relief, but at the same time she secretly resolved to be more careful about the occasion and words she used in the future, and not to be so reckless as she was today.
Ye Lei returned to his bedroom and took out the 10,000 crystal cores he had obtained from the military. He had previously worried that absorbing too much energy would cause his body to be unable to withstand it.
However, things are different now. Having saved Sarah and Ma Jing, my physical attributes have increased by a full 100 points, so I can definitely absorb the energy of these 10,000 crystal cores with ease.
The sheer number of ten thousand crystal cores was astonishing; his hands simply couldn't hold them all. So, he resolutely poured them onto the black bag, then crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and began to concentrate intently on sensing the mysterious energy contained within the crystal cores.
Before long, those crystal cores that were originally green and lifeless began to emit a faint light. As Ye Lei's concentration increased, the light became more and more dazzling.
Just then, a powerful energy beam formed from ten thousand crystal cores slowly and steadily entered Ye Lei's slightly open mouth.
The light grew stronger, and Ye Lei could clearly feel an unparalleled and powerful energy raging within his body.
To ensure his own safety, he made a decisive move and used his superb skills to guide all his energy deep into his dantian so that he could digest it slowly later.
As the energy in the crystal cores was absorbed, the light gradually dimmed. Finally, when the last ray of light disappeared, the ten thousand crystal cores vanished without a trace, as if they had evaporated. However, all the energy had been successfully absorbed into Ye Lei's dantian.
The system's voice echoed in Ye Lei's mind:
[Congratulations, host, you have awakened the earth-type ability Rock Rain.]
Rock Barrage: The user can control the surrounding rocks, transforming them into spear-like shapes to unleash a barrage of bullets, delivering a fatal attack on the target enemy.
After listening to the system's explanation, Ye Lei was overjoyed. It seemed that the Rock Rain was more powerful than the Ice Sword, although it couldn't freeze people. However, it could definitely kill them in one hit.
