Chapter 14 Crystal Core
At this moment, Luo Mei admired Yu Yao.
After all, not everyone is in the mood to read online novels under such circumstances.
At least she wasn't in the mood for the time being.
Yu Yao, however, still held up the tablet and tried to persuade him with a serious look: "Why don't you take a look? You have nothing to do anyway."
Another slightly stronger vibration began, and Luo Mei was almost knocked down.
"Will you really not get carsick if you read a novel in this situation?"
Yu Yao was stunned, and actually felt that there was some truth in it.
"Or maybe you could listen to a book?"
After she finished speaking, she listened carefully to the noisy sounds around her and felt that this proposal was not a good one.
After a moment of daze, Luo Mei suddenly laughed.
Before Yu Yao could react, Luo Mei took the tablet and crossed her legs, looking ready.
"Never mind, let's see first!"
After saying that, he started to look through the books, while his other hand took the water and bread.
"I'm welcome. I will pay you back, for sure!"
Luo Mei is a grateful person. She knows that the world has changed and food and water will inevitably become scarce commodities.
Yu Yao not only saved her, but also took the initiative to give her food and water. She would remember this kindness and would never let her down.
At the same time, Luo Mei is also a very self-conscious person.
Even though he was extremely hungry, he only drank a few sips of water and ate half a piece of bread before stopping.
After twenty minutes, I couldn't hold on any longer and put down the tablet.
"No, no, I'm really going to dizzy." Reading the small words on electronic products in such a violently shaking environment is indeed a bit of a challenge.
Even if she turned the font size up to the maximum, she still felt dizzy.
Fortunately, there was not much to eat, otherwise I would have vomited a long time ago.
Her face was frighteningly pale. Yu Yao knew that she had overdrawn her superpowers and hurriedly said, "Put away the shield. Your superpowers can no longer sustain it."
"Oh, I forgot!" Luo Mei, who had just read some apocalyptic novels and had a rough understanding of the settings of zombies and superpowers, exclaimed and quickly retracted her shield.
Just as she put away her shield, a loud bang came from somewhere, accompanied by several miserable screams.
Luo Mei was slightly stunned, and rarely showed a look of confusion.
"You said... How come the world changes so suddenly?"
A few days ago, she had discussed with her teammates about going out to have some fun and relax.
But in the blink of an eye, the world became something she didn't recognize.
Even Yu Yao, who had "experienced" the end of the world once, had not figured out this question.
Perhaps this world is sick and can no longer provide a good living environment for living beings;
Maybe it is a punishment for human beings' over-consumption of survival resources; maybe it is a natural disaster, maybe it is a man-made disaster.
In short, Yu Yao also couldn't figure out what the humans in the previous life hadn't figured out in ten years.
She could only shake her head, "I don't know."
Luo Mei's brows moved slightly, and her fingertips tapped lightly on the tablet. After a moment, the corners of her lips gradually raised an arc of excitement.
"...It's really exciting~"
"......"
As expected, a woman’s heart is as unfathomable as a needle in the sea!
Can’t guess!
I really can’t guess!
Seeing Yu Yao's speechless look, Luo Mei laughed and continued, "The novel says that zombies have crystal cores. Do you think it's true?"
She had long since put away her bewilderment, and her tone became excited.
"Yeah." Yu Yao responded.
He took out a transparent white crystal the size of a date pit from the grid of his backpack and handed it to her, saying, "I caught it yesterday."
Luo Mei was shocked. She didn't expect that just asking casually would actually lead to the truth.
She took the small crystal core and looked at it carefully, then sighed, "You know what, it's really pretty. What's it made of? Why is it this color? Is it white or translucent?"
"Psychological department."
The crystal cores in the brains of zombies of different systems are also different.
Red is for fire, aqua is for water, gold is for metal, green is for wood, and khaki is for earth.
Purple is for thunder, ice blue is for ice, and cyan is for wind.
Translucent white is the spiritual system, milky white is the light system, black is the dark system, and other special systems are transparent.
Just as written in many online novels, people with superpowers can enhance their superpowers by absorbing the crystal cores in the brains of zombies.
However, there are certain limitations. Elementalists can only absorb crystal cores of the same type, and specialists can only absorb transparent crystal cores.
For example: A fire-type mutant can only absorb fire-type crystal cores.
However, those with special abilities such as space ability, healing ability, strength evolution, speed evolution, etc. can only absorb transparent crystal cores to advance.
People with psychic abilities like Luo Mei's can absorb both psychic crystal cores and transparent crystal cores at the same time.
After all, there are too few spiritual crystal cores, and she is not an elemental mutant.
In other words, the crystal core in Luo Mei's hand is exactly what she needs most at the moment.
I thought she would be greedy, but I didn't expect Luo Mei to just calmly nod and say, "Is it like this? OK, I'll remember it."
After saying this, he was about to return the crystal core to Yu Yao, without a trace of greed in his eyes.
Yu Yao glanced sideways and didn't answer.
He said, "I'll lend it to you. Take it and absorb it. It can alleviate your overdraft of superpowers and also upgrade your superpowers."
A crystal core that is useless to her in exchange for one person's gratitude.
Not a loss.
"No! This is yours." Luo Mei refused immediately and forcefully stuffed the crystal core into Yu Yao's hand.
Yu Yao held the small crystal core in her palm and was stunned for two seconds.
"Didn't I say I would lend it to you? Did I say I would give it to you for free?"
"Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to pay it back? Or won't pay it back at all?"
"Why don't you try it?"
"......"
Luo Mei was stunned for a moment.
Yu Yao said seriously: "This crystal core is useless to me, you can use it first, and when you get what I need in the future, you can return it to me."
After saying that, he handed the crystal core to Luo Mei again.
She is a casual person. Although she only exchanged a few words with Luo Mei, she felt quite comfortable getting along with her.
Just make friends.
Yu Yao's eyes were too clear. Luo Mei stared at them for a long time but did not see a trace of falsehood.
After thinking about it, he stopped refusing and said, "Okay, I will definitely return it to you if I get it."
"Um."
When Luo Mei saw that Yu Yao agreed, she picked up the crystal core, held it in her palm, and closed her eyes to feel the energy in the crystal core.
Soon, she felt the energy in the crystal core turn into a hot current, flowing through her palm into her mind.
While instantly relieving her headache, she also clearly felt that her abilities had become much stronger.
The crystal core lost its energy and turned into a lifeless stone, which turned into a pile of debris with just a slight touch from her.
The first time she absorbed the crystal core, Luo Mei was extremely excited and opened her eyes with joy.
Without even bothering to brush off the crumbs on his palms, he quickly praised, "It really works!"
Yu Yao chuckled, "Yeah."
......
Time passed quietly as the two of them chatted back and forth.
The smell of sulfur in the air began to become stronger and stronger, even to the point of being pungent.
After Yu Yao noticed it, she took out two N95 masks from the space.
He handed one to Luo Mei and said, "Put it on. It should be a volcanic eruption."
Land volcanoes and submarine volcanoes around the world erupted simultaneously, causing extremely serious air pollution.
It could have caused more terrible consequences, such as extreme cold and polar night.
But the coming of the end of the world makes everything less natural.
The extreme cold and polar night will come, but not now.
Fortunately, it’s not now!
......
Luo Mei wrinkled her nose and sniffed it. She was too lazy to complain about this fucked up world anymore. She said thank you and took it and put it on.
Feeling that the vibration had subsided a little, Luo Mei got off the mattress, stood up and slowly stretched her body.
So he didn't notice Yu Yao's lowered eyes.
She claimed that she was not a good person who cared about the world, but she still couldn't help but wonder, at this time, how many port cities had been swallowed up by the tsunami?
I don't know how many people escaped in the end...
