Chapter 22: Taking Care of the Space
Lu Ming nodded and said, "I accidentally discovered that I can sense the energy in the speed crystal that Captain Gu gave me. Then I tried it and found that I can absorb the energy inside. After using one, the space became larger. Why don't you try it too?"
Lin Cong held the red crystal and closed his eyes. He could actually feel a burning aura drawing him in, making him want to swallow it. He opened his eyes wide: "Really! I can feel the energy inside drawing me in!"
The few people's eyes lit up at first, then they were shocked, and their faces looked a little ugly.
How could she be so bold?!
Seeing their obvious disapproval, Lu Ming felt a little guilty. Her information was the conclusion of many people's experiments, but they thought she was using herself as an experiment.
After being bombarded with various warnings, Lu Ming repeatedly promised not to act rashly again, and only then did the few people let her go.
But no matter what they said, they did not disbelieve her.
"But how can I absorb it? Eat it? That would be too disgusting." Lin Cong was a little resistant.
"No, you hold it, release your own power first, resonate with it, and then absorb it bit by bit. I can't explain it, it's a very strange feeling, try it yourself."
It was difficult to absorb crystals at first. Many people did not understand how the energy worked in their bodies, let alone absorbing external materialized energy. This is why in the original story, the method of absorbing crystals to upgrade did not spread until half a year after the end of the world.
After listening to this, Lin Cong ran to the corner to tinker with it.
Lu Ming consciously took his place on guard duty and sat down at the east gate of the gymnasium.
She closed her eyes and looked like she was asleep, but in fact she entered the space with her consciousness.
Since I got the space, I haven't had time to take care of it properly. Today I finally have the chance to come in.
Thanks to mature cloning technology, the universal manufacturing machine can create organisms, but due to insufficient energy endurance in a single session, it cannot create large animals and plants.
However, it is very expensive to create a living thing in the original world, and with her income she can't even afford to make a chicken.
Now, looking at the product page where the price had obviously been reduced by N times, she was once again thankful that she had a collecting habit. Although she could not afford many things, she had downloaded and saved them in advance.
I checked my balance and found that I still had more than 3 silver (1 silver = 1000 copper). I looked for vegetables and fruits and selected seeds of cabbage, lettuce, tomato, apple, and banana. I planted the seeds in six separate plots of land and then surrounded them with a fence.
She doesn't know how to farm, but she believes that this smart prop shouldn't require her to worry about this problem.
There was no fertilizer, so I had to use pond water.
She also dug a separate fish pond on the grass and threw in a few fish fry and shrimps.
I bought two pairs of chickens and ducks, put them in a thatched hut, scattered some grains, and left the door open, intending to let them roam free.
Don’t even think about cattle, sheep, pigs, etc., you can’t afford them now.
Looking at the balance, Lu Ming felt a pang of pain. He had spent over two silver coins. It was too expensive.
Originally, some fruits and vegetables were collected in the warehouse, but she didn't want to grow those that might carry viruses. Although the space has its own purification function, she couldn't accept it psychologically. Moreover, she is an ordinary person with low resistance to viruses, so she would try to avoid it as much as possible if possible.
She clapped her hands. If nothing unexpected happened, she would have fewer opportunities to produce finished products in the future. She would have to learn how to cook again. However, she couldn't learn with her consciousness, so she could only look for another opportunity.
There is no need to organize the warehouse. The materials collected are automatically arranged neatly by category, and a list is also listed on the display screen on the door.
By the way, I also need to mix some enhanced water for Gu Chao and the others to drink. Although it cannot directly transform their bodies like hers, it should be able to strengthen their bodies and increase the chances of awakening superpowers.
She got to work right away and pulled out a few boxes of imported mineral water from a certain brand from Country D. They came in small green bottles with a very unique design, and were obviously high-end products.
She poured out some of the water, added a small sip of spring water, shook it, and then put the lid back on and tightened it. She didn't do much, just to let someone try it first.
Ah, I hope they don’t mind that the water they drink has been opened... Lu Ming thought silently.
I bought some consumables like gasoline and then left with satisfaction.
After switching shifts with a boy, she returned to the second floor and saw that Lin Cong was still thinking about it. It seemed that things were not going well.
After being in a daze for a few hours, he finally moved.
Even though his ability had improved faster than that of an average person, it was still difficult for him to absorb energy. After a night, the crystal stone, which was half the size of a finger joint, had barely changed.
This is the crystal from the brain of a mutant zombie. If it was a crystal from an ordinary evolved zombie, it would be even more difficult to absorb.
Although he failed to absorb the energy, he gained a better understanding of the operation of his superpowers, which was a good gain.
After washing up and having breakfast, Lu Ming went out with Gu Chao openly this time.
After seeing the effect of the crystal, they consciously looked for zombies with special abilities on the road.
Lu Ming gave Gu Chao a similar horizontal sword. Although it was a common knife in this world and could not reach the level of a divine weapon sold at an auction house, it could cut iron like mud and it was not difficult to chop ordinary zombies with it.
Gu Chao was very connoisseur of the goods and couldn't let go of it. Especially after he chopped down a zombie, his eyes lit up.
He didn't ask where the knife came from, but just said thank you.
First stop, the school hospital.
After dealing with two strength-type mutant zombies, they arrived at their destination before noon. There weren't many zombies in the school hospital, only a few school doctors and a few elderly men and women. They looked like they were receiving IV drips before turning into zombies, and they were dragging IV stands behind them when they ran over.
They did not plan to take more than they wanted. They took away the two large Chinese medicine cabinets in the pharmacy, and then took away most of the common medicines for colds, fevers, diarrhea, antibiotics, etc. in the warehouse. They also took away half of the alcohol, iodine, gauze and other medicines for treating external injuries, and looted a few sets of simple surgical instruments. They left everything else untouched.
At noon, after packing up their things, they came to the duty room next to the first floor gate to prepare for lunch.
He took off his hat and goggles, took out some water to wash his hands, and gave Gu Chao a bottle of diluted spring water. He also took out two boxes of self-heating rice and a few wrinkled mangoes and put them on the table.
Gu Chao looked at the things in front of him and curled his lips slightly: "If they knew we were cooking for ourselves, they would definitely compete to come out with you to collect the supplies."
Lu Ming was a little proud, "That's right, let's cherish the opportunity of having a picnic."
Gu Chao chuckled softly, and his usually sharp features softened, like clouds surrounding starlight, and his low voice could easily catch people's ears.
He looked at the little girl's slightly raised head, and his hand was itching to touch her head.
It must feel good.
