On the road leading to Ji City, everyone was searching for traces of zombies like hungry wolves, their eyes flashing with a light of lack...extreme lack of crystal cores.
No zombie can escape their "mopping up".
Even those whose bodies were half frozen like ice sculptures, swaying from side to side and groaning, had to step on the brakes and take out the crystal cores before moving on.
They say: [It's so cold, they're suffering so much, they might as well just die...]
The road was eerily quiet, all the houses were frozen, and there was not a single living person to be seen.
But passing some houses that were not frozen, there were fallen ice blocks on the road, silently proving that there were still survivors inside struggling to survive...
Lu Nange and Shi Xu's mental power swept through the house like a breeze, and after confirming the life fluctuations inside, they no longer paid attention to it.
On the contrary, when the survivors heard the roar of the engine and tiptoed to the window to check, the RV had already turned into a stream of light and disappeared from their sight.
[In this kind of awful weather... you can still drive?]
[From the engine sound, it must have been modified...]
If we had a car like this, we wouldn't have to go out looking for supplies like a bear...
[The weather is getting colder and colder, and the sun is not rising yet...]
[The lighting is now entirely due to the faint light reflected from the ice sculptures. Do you think the sun has also been frozen out...]
[It's too fast, I wonder if it will come back?]
[Yeah, if we steal the car, then later...]
[Would you like to look at the zombie corpses on the road before speaking?]
......
At this moment, Lu Nange and his group all had zombie heads—what could they do? After all, they were now impoverished "crystal core families."
The zombies on the roadside were in bad luck, and the unlucky ones at level 1 were blasted into pieces by various superpowers one after another.
Shi Xu's mental power was responsible for the headshot, while Chi Yanzhou's thunder power took turns striking from both sides...
Lu Nange's wind blade whistled across the ice, and Lu Beiye's golden steel needle pierced his head...
Gu Qi's water power transformed into a high-pressure water jet, and Luo Xingyou's golden darts kept flashing...
Zhizhi and Chiyi are mainly responsible for taking back the crystal core...
Lu Xici was responsible for driving, while Gu Wan, Wen Qing, He Zhuo and Ji Xian were responsible for cleaning up the crystal cores that were dragged back.
Wherever the RV passed, only zombies and crystal ice chips were left behind.
At noon, the RV stopped at an empty road, with no sign of survivors around.
He Zhuo, Ji Xian and Chi Yichen went down to the table to clean it, and the dishes and chopsticks clattered against each other.
Lu Xici, Chi Yanzhou and Gu Qiqing counted the results of the battle: 340 first-level crystal cores and 150 second-level crystal cores.
In the kitchen, Wen Qing was in charge and Luo Xingyou was helping him. The aroma filled the air as the spatula flew.
Lu Nange held his brother's hand and stood by the window, Shi Xu stood quietly beside them. The mental power of the two extended in all directions like a spider web, alert to any disturbance.
Amidst the steam, the dishes were served and everyone sat around them.
He Zhuo ate his bowl of rice while looking at the crystal core in the bucket: "I feel like I can live a few more days."
Chi Yanzhou put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "There are few zombies on the road. Should we go around Ji City more often in the next two days and try to stock up on as many crystal cores as possible?"
Gu Qi: "Strange, we've been driving around Ji City all morning. Although many roads are blocked by ice and our car can't get through, it's not like there aren't even any level 3 zombies..."
Lu Nange wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue. "Shi Xu and I just checked it out. There are many ice sculptures blocking the internal roads, and zombies are gathering in large numbers."
Shi Xu took over the conversation: "Well, if we use our supernatural powers to forcibly smash a path for the vehicles, we might accidentally injure nearby survivors."
Gu Wanman said calmly, "If it were you, I'd just get out of the car and walk. You've got a warm-weather jacket, so just wear a few more layers."
Lu Xici: "A pedestrian walkway on the ice is always easy to handle. We're just trying to stockpile crystal cores anyway, so there's no need to make a big fuss."
Lu Nange: "After dinner, let's try it fully armed."
After the meal, everyone wrapped themselves up like dumplings.
In addition to the constant temperature clothing, thermal underwear, down jackets, and windproof masks are all available. Even the insoles of the fleece-lined and non-slip boots are covered with hot packs.
There is a circle of stickers on the inside of the hat, making it look like a heating helmet.
Zhizhi was wrapped into a small cotton ball and stuffed into the oversized pocket of Lu Beiye's jacket, with only a few green leaves exposed.
Gangzi was placed in Lu Xici's mountaineering backpack, with two small steaming hot water bottles next to him.
Chi Yanzhou and Lu Xici were the first to open the car door, and the biting cold wind immediately rushed in.
The two of them took a few tentative steps outside, then turned back and made an "OK" gesture towards the car.
Everyone stepped out of the carriage one after another and found that their tightly wrapped bodies were still warm.
Lu Nange tapped his fingertips lightly, and the huge RV disappeared instantly.
In the biting cold wind, a group of people followed Lu Nange and Shi Xu and moved forward cautiously.
Thanks to the protection of the constant temperature clothing, their clothing is much lighter than that of other survivors traveling.
Lu Nange stopped in front of a giant ice sculpture connecting several buildings and said, "There are zombies everywhere..."
Everyone nodded vigorously to show that they were ready.
Lu Nange was wearing gloves covered with hot packs, and his arms drew an arc in the air.
In an instant, a sharp wind blade whistled out, cutting an arched passage in the thick ice wall.
Stepping on the broken pieces of the collapsed ice sculpture, everyone walked inside...
"Ho...ho ho..."
The zombies, awakened by the loud noise, rushed towards the few people. Some of their rotten bodies still had icicles hanging on them, and they made a crackling sound as they moved.
Lu Nange and Shi Xu's mental power was instantly unleashed, and the zombies in the front row fell down one after another, their heads exploding one after another.
Various colors of supernatural lights exploded in the dim passage.
Luo Xingyou and Gu Wanhu stood on both sides of Wen Qing. Wen Qing held the Tang sword tightly in both hands, and the blade shone with a cold light in the low temperature.
She took a quick step forward, and a zombie's head flew up, its black blood condensing into ice slag in mid-air...
