The water soaked with ginseng was not as effective as the ginseng itself, but it did help them relax and replenish their energy.
Fifteen people came out of Dawn City, and only ten are left.
Xu Bai prepared water for everyone in Shuguang City, but for others, he didn't have any.
In the end times, all good intentions may be original sins, and others will not remember your kindness. Instead, they may easily doubt your motives because of your kindness.
After resting for a while and recovering his senses, Captain Lin led his men to find the bodies of his brothers, buried them and built a grave for them. After bowing, he began to search for crystal cores in the heads of the zombies on the ground.
Originally, only zombies above the second calamity had crystal cores.
After a black rain, the zombie levels increased significantly, and crystal cores began to form in the brains of some of the more flexible zombies.
Therefore, Team Lin and others dug out a lot of crystal cores.
The people from Haozi's and Mingliang's teams also called on their teammates to start looking for crystal cores, but after fighting for most of the night, no one had the energy or strength to do so.
Haozi looked at Team Lin who was collecting water beside him, and saw a small bottle tied around Team Lin's waist. He swallowed and said, "Brother, let me make a deal. Do you have any water left? Give us some, and the majority of the crystal cores will be yours."
"How many people?"
Haozi stood up and counted the number of people, "8 people." As he spoke, Haozi's eyes dimmed a lot. There were twenty people in their team, but only eight were left after one night. Looking at Mingliang's team, there were only four or five people left.
It can be seen that the Dawn City team, which had only fifteen people, only lost five people, which shows how strong it is.
If their base had not invited people from Dawn City, they might not have been able to go back after arriving in the small county.
"Boss, are you selling eight bottles of water? They'll buy it." Captain Lin nodded and turned to Xu Bai and said.
"One bottle of water and two crystal cores."
"good."
Two crystal cores for a bottle of water are expensive, but they are scarce. The water-based mutant in their team has died, and they need to replenish their strength and drink water, so they have to pay for it.
When the mouse took a sip of the water, he felt a dry and cool air circulating through his body. He felt refreshed and all his fatigue dissipated.
Look at the people in Dawn City, they are all in high spirits.
This water is amazing!
You get what you pay for. Expensive things have their own reasons. In the past, Haozi never understood the truth of this sentence, but today he understood it!
"Bright, buy water, useful."
Normally, the Haozi and Mingliang teams are in a competitive relationship with each other. When they go out, Haozi is also clear about it. He doesn't want anything to happen to Mingliang.
When two teams came out, one team was gone. In the eyes of the people in the base, even if he had no problems, there was no surveillance and no evidence to prove his innocence, people would still suspect that someone in their team had murdered Mingliang's team.
Haozi knew that Shi Qinghe had water-related abilities, and thought that Shi Qinghe's abilities had special effects. While digging the crystal core, he looked at Shi Qinghe with sparkling eyes, which made Shi Qinghe feel uneasy.
The same bottle of water is calculated using two crystal cores.
The zombies were lured from their convoy, and the Bright Team did not get any of the collected crystal cores. The remaining ones were divided into 70% by Dawn City and 30% by the Mouse Team.
Not convinced?
Sorry, we in Dawn City killed the most zombies.
What? You guys also killed zombies, that's even more embarrassing, you still survived thanks to our Dawn City's protection.
Therefore, Mingliang and his companions owed Xubai and his companions a lot of crystal cores, and promised to pay them back later.
The collected crystal cores were piled on a piece of cloth and washed uniformly by Shi Qinghe. When Haozi saw the clear water and thought of its magical effects, tears were about to fall from his eyes.
This water is so precious, how can it be used to rinse the crystal core?
Could he use a cloth to clean each crystal core one by one in exchange for some water to drink?
Haozi asked, and Shi Qinghe was stunned. After looking at him for a few times, he smiled and said, "It's okay. I still have a lot of special abilities."
Mouse: ???
Is this a question of how much energy pool there is? It's a water resource that can save countless people.
"Then we don't need to rinse ours." Haozi thought that this would save a lot of water, and they could also buy it from Shi Qinghe, but Shi Qinghe ignored him. Haozi could only watch Shi Qinghe rinse the crystal core clean.
After washing, Shi Qinghe pulled up the cloth bag on the ground and smiled: "Does your team have any food?"
There was still some food on Haozi's bus. He had to eat, otherwise how could he get through the day? They still had to go to the noodle factory to collect supplies. Haozi nodded, and then heard Shi Qinghe say righteously: "321 crystal cores, you only have 96.3 crystal cores, I won't share with you, we still have breakfast, lunch, and dinner, want to buy it?"
Mouse: “…”
"Is it about the same quantity as yesterday?" Haozi thought about it. If 96 crystal cores were used for three meals, there were eight of them. If it was the meat buns, soup and sweet potatoes that they had yesterday, it would be too cheap.
"right."
Haozi quickly discussed it with the other seven people and made a decision immediately.
When we go out on a mission, although we are told that we have to hand over the collected materials and some crystal cores to the base, as long as you don’t tell me and I don’t tell you, who knows how much we have collected in this trip?
Shi Qinghe tied up the cloth bag containing the crystal core and handed it to Xu Bai with a smile.
There were zombie corpses all around.
They drove to an open space and started making breakfast. After a night of hard work, everyone was already starving.
So they piled up large stones to build a simple stove, started a fire with wood, put up a big pot, chopped the raw mutant pig meat they brought with them into small pieces and threw them into the big pot to stew, while a small gas stove next to it was simmering sweet potato rice.
When they saw the meat, Haozi and his companions exclaimed in surprise, extremely excited.
These 96.3 crystal cores were well worth it.
Haozi excitedly said to his teammates, "We must work hard to stay alive and kill more zombies. Once we have crystal cores, we can go buy food from them."
Mingliang and his four or five companions did not have crystal cores, and Shi Qinghe and his companions did not accept credit, so they had no choice but to eat the dry food they found in the broken bus.
You say they are inhumane and unsympathetic?
Considering that they were traveling together to collect supplies, Xu Bai had already let them buy water crystal cores on credit. As for buying food, that's not possible. Who knows whether you will be alive in the next minute?
For a group of people who hadn't eaten meat for several months, the smell of meat that hit them was enough to arouse their appetite.
Mingliang and his companions ran to Haozi's car and closed the windows tightly, but the fragrance still drifted in.
Qin Qing lifted the lid, and the aroma of the meat became even stronger. She put the vegetables in to stew together. Just as she closed the lid, she caught a glimpse of a rat squatting beside her, drooling.
"Be more restrained. Don't get too close. You'll drool on me if you do."
