Chapter 25 Discovering the Yuan Stone!
Fang Yuxin asked to go in and take a look, and Fang Yuyang naturally agreed. In fact, he was a sister-con, and he had never rejected any request from Fang Yuxin since he was a child. He doted on Fang Yuxin more than Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe.
They drove the car to a remote but safe corner, opened the door and walked out. This commercial plaza has several entrances and exits, some of which are blocked, but some are still usable. Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang found an entrance and found zombies inside as soon as they entered.
At first glance, there were seven or eight of them, wandering around the entrance. As soon as they entered, the zombies that were originally wandering aimlessly became excited, turned their heads stiffly, and stared at the two with their gray and dead eyes, like hungry wolves seeing their long-lost prey.
The two of them simultaneously tightened their knife handles. Fang Yuyang looked at the zombies approaching with caution, and whispered to Fang Yuxin: "Be careful, don't be stubborn!"
Fang Yuxin nodded and whispered, "I know, you should be careful too."
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the two rushed out at the same time, killing the zombies cleanly and neatly. The place they came in was an indoor commercial street, but fortunately, it was the entrance, so there were not many zombies.
It only took the two of them three minutes to kill the eight zombies at the entrance, and they even dug out five crystal cores with great ease. Fang Yuxin washed them with water and put them into the space. There were monitors installed on the wall, but now that the power was out, these monitors became decorations.
The indoor commercial street in front of Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang was not short, and there were zombies wandering in the distance. After Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang looked at each other, Fang Yuxin pointed outside and the two retreated together.
After they went out, Fang Yuyang asked, "What's wrong? Don't you want to go in and take a look?"
Fang Yuxin shook her head: "There are a lot of zombies inside, it's too dangerous to go in rashly, and if you want to find the Yuan Jing, you should look for it from the outside." It was only after she entered the entrance that she remembered that the Yuan Jing was brought by the meteorite, and if she wanted to find it, she should follow the traces of damage caused by the meteorite. Moreover, she vaguely sensed that there were quite a few zombies inside, and there were even living people!
Those living people had not come out yet. They were either trapped inside or went in to look for supplies like them. No matter which one it was, it was a trouble for them. If they wanted to find Yuan Jing, they had to avoid these people first.
As for saving people... Fang Yuxin didn't object, but he didn't intend to be a savior.
Fang Yuyang had no objection. Basically, he would agree to anything Fang Yuxin asked. Moreover, what Fang Yuxin said was absolutely correct. The two of them made up their minds not to rush into the room, but to search outside the commercial square. Many buildings in the square were damaged, and the traces were very obvious.
For safety reasons, the two did not separate, but chose to act together. The Yuan Crystal was wrapped in the Yuan Stone. The Yuan Stone was very hard, and the surface also had the function of isolating energy fluctuations. Unless the stone was opened, even if you held it in your hand or used an instrument to detect it, you would not be able to tell whether there was a Yuan Crystal inside.
The brother and sister followed the traces and found a lot of scattered fragments on the ground, but unfortunately they were not Yuanshi. There were zombies wandering around, and they attracted zombies after searching for a while. Fortunately, there were not many zombies, so they were easily dealt with, and they harvested several crystal cores.
Fang Yuxin was following the trail to find the Yuan Stone, when Fang Yuyang suddenly patted her on the shoulder and said excitedly, "Xinxin, look over there! Is that the Yuan Stone?"
Fang Yuxin looked in the direction Fang Yuyang pointed and saw a two-meter-diameter pit on the wall. In the center of the pit, there was a very small bulge, which was inconspicuous at first glance. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it at all. The pit was about three stories high from the ground, and the whole building was only four stories high.
The two walked over and cleared the zombies nearby. Fang Yuxin looked at the distance and took out a safety rope with a hook at the end. Fang Yuxin tried to swing it and threw it hard. The hook flew up high and finally hung firmly on the edge of the roof. She pulled hard to make sure it was firmly grasped, then she grabbed the safety rope and climbed up quickly.
Fang Yuyang stood on the ground, looking at Fang Yuxin worriedly, and at the same time guarding against zombies coming. Fang Yuxin climbed quickly and skillfully, as if she had done it many times before. Soon, she climbed to the pit and approached the small protrusion. She wrapped her left arm around the rope and stepped on the wall with both feet to stabilize her body. Fang Yuxin touched the protrusion with her free right hand, and after wiping off the dust around it, the original appearance of the object was revealed. It was a black stone the size of an adult's fist.
She pulled out the dagger from her waist and tapped the stone gently, then used the blade to test the hardness. After confirming that it was a Yuanshi, she couldn't help but smile from her tense face. However, the Yuanshi was firmly embedded in the wall, and it would take some effort to dig it out.
In order to stabilize her body, Fang Yuxin had only her right hand free. She held the dagger tightly with her right hand and used the tip of the knife to dig around the Yuan Stone. Fortunately, the previous collision had already caused cracks in the wall, so Fang Yuxin didn't spend much effort to dig out the entire Yuan Stone. The Yuan Stone was very heavy in her hand, so Fang Yuxin put it directly into the space. Although she really wanted to know if there were any Yuan Crystals inside, it was not convenient to do so outside, so she could only wait until she got back.
After collecting the Yuanshi, Fang Yuxin slid down the rope. When she returned to the ground intact, Fang Yuyang was completely relieved and took the initiative to collect the safety rope. At the same time, he asked her with concern: "Xinxin, are you okay? Next time you encounter this kind of thing, let me do it. You are a girl, don't get hurt."
Fang Yuxin smiled and said, "The end of the world is full of dangers. Only when you become stronger can you be safer. Brother, I can't let you protect me forever."
Fang Yuyang's face was full of disapproval, but he also knew that Fang Yuxin was right, so he could only say: "I don't care, anyway, let me do this kind of dangerous things in the future. I'm your brother, you have to listen to me!"
Fang Yuxin did not argue with him. They had just entered the apocalypse and this was in the suburbs, so there were not many zombies and they could still catch their breath. But in the future, dangers would be lurking everywhere. Even if Fang Yuyang wanted to protect her, he was powerless and it would be impossible for him to avoid all dangers.
Just like in a dream, Fang Yuyang successfully awakened his superpowers, but she was just an ordinary person without superpowers. Fang Yuyang always wanted to protect her, and even went to dangerous places to look for Yuanjing in order to awaken her superpowers. She didn't want to be a burden to Fang Yuyang, so she kept practicing swordsmanship and fighting zombies. But no matter whether it was her or Fang Yuyang, in the end, they were powerless and ended up with a miserable ending!
