Chapter 8: True Heart for True Heart
A zombie actually broke through the earthen wall erected by the red-haired girl and approached Song Yuqing with its teeth bared. Sister Qin was quick-witted and swiftly swung out her golden knife, chopping off its head.
Song Yuqing was a little scared.
Song Yuqing looked at the fallen zombie behind him, thinking that this was also a payment from Sister Qin, so he took a bottle of water and a pack of instant noodles and stuffed them into Sister Qin's hands.
"One zombie can be exchanged for a bottle of water. This instant noodle is given to you because we are destined to be together."
Sister Qin raised her eyebrows, somewhat incredulous.
"I'm a water-based mutant and can create water by myself, so can this bottle of water be replaced with instant noodles?" Liu Xiaona rubbed her hands.
"Okay." Song Yuqing didn't bother about such a small matter at all.
"What else does your supermarket have?" Liu Xiaona became excited.
"A lot. Just follow me and you'll see."
Liu Xiaona was full of curiosity and looked at Sister Qin expectantly, hoping that Sister Qin would agree.
Sister Qin hesitated. She led everyone along the way and encountered many robbers. Although the woman in front of her did not look like a bad person, she still had to be careful.
"Let's go take a look. I think this girl looks a lot like you. You're outwardly domineering, while she's reserved and powerful. Anyway, she doesn't look bad." Liu Xiaona pulled Sister Qin's arm, acting a little coquettishly. "Besides, we're still some distance from the base, and we've run out of food."
"Okay, let's go and take a look." Sister Qin has never been able to stand Liu Xiaona's coquettishness, it's too eye-catching.
Song Yuqing was secretly delighted and picked up the zombie's head and body from the ground.
"Come with me."
Liu Xiaona uttered a "huh" and said in disgust, "Zombies are so dirty, why did you take them away?"
Song Yuqing smiled slightly: "You will know in a while."
The group walked into the alley, and along the way, the zombies were blocked outside the earth wall erected by the red-haired girl Ai.
When they arrived at the entrance of God’s Supermarket, Sister Qin and the other four felt cheated. Where was the supermarket they had agreed on?
Song Yuqing pushed open the supermarket's shabby wooden door, and Sister Qin and the other four were delighted to see the overflowing shelves inside. When the zombies appeared, shopping malls and supermarkets everywhere were either overrun or plundered. How could they possibly have such neatly arranged and complete supplies?
Liu Xiaona pointed at the bento on the shelf and shouted almost at the top of her voice: "Hey, can I exchange the instant noodles for this?"
"No problem." Song Yuqing said as he cracked open the zombie's skull. The color of this zombie's crystal core was darker than the ones he had seen before.
In front of Sister Qin and others, Song Yuqing absorbed the energy of the crystal core into his body.
"What is this?" Sister Qin was puzzled.
"Crystal cores can increase energy." Song Yuqing paused, "Next time you come to buy supplies, you can take the crystal cores for your own use. The supermarket only accepts zombie bodies."
Song Yuqing realized that the stronger the psychic was and the more zombies she killed, the better her performance would be.
If you have good performance, you can stay in God’s Supermarket and live a good life.
Sister Qin, Liu Xiaona and others were still digesting the fact that crystal cores could enhance superpowers when they saw Song Yuqing pick up the zombie's head and body and throw them into the security gate.
"Ding, intermediate zombie."
It turned out to be a mid-level zombie, no wonder it could pass through the earth wall!
Sister Qin, Liu Xiaona and others gathered around with curiosity, looking at the security gate.
"It's a zombie rating system for supermarkets."
"They actually melted the zombies?" Liu Xiaona widened her eyes.
Cuckoo--
Liu Xiaona's stomach growled at an inopportune moment.
Sister Qin glanced at Liu Xiaona, smiled and shook her head.
"Since it's a mid-level zombie, its value should be twice that of a primary zombie. I'll give you another lunch box."
"Can we eat here?" Liu Xiaona swallowed.
"certainly."
Song Yuqing brought five chairs and asked Sister Qin and the other three to sit side by side by the window to eat their lunch boxes.
For some reason, the light had dimmed in broad daylight. Song Yuqing turned around and saw the earthen wall that Ai had erected outside the shop with his supernatural powers. He suddenly understood.
Ai is maintaining the earthen wall, it must be very hard.
"Ayi? We don't need that earth wall anymore."
Sister Qin:?
Ai: Huh?
Liu Xiaona: How can I not use it! This is a protective shield!
Song Yuqing imitated Master Fu's tone: "As long as you are in God's Supermarket, you are safe."
Ai put away the earth wall half-believingly, and Sister Qin held the big golden knife tightly in her hand, ready to take action at any time.
But as the earth wall disappeared, the zombies did not rush forward as they had imagined, but instead kept a certain distance from them.
Seeing the zombies standing outside the supermarket blankly, not daring to approach it, Sister Qin, Liu Xiaona and the other five people dropped their jaws in shock.
Liu Xiaona turned her head in shock and gave Song Yuqing a thumbs up: "Awesome!"
Sister Qin seemed to have figured something out: "No wonder they can open a convenience store here."
Song Yuqing seriously corrected Sister Qin: "It's actually a supermarket."
"Great, what a great supermarket!" Liu Xiaona praised as she unpacked her lunchbox. In less than a minute, she finished half of it, reluctantly giving the remaining half to the wind-type psychic. The remaining three shared two portions, unconcerned.
"Isn't it enough to eat? How about you go and kill some more zombies?" Song Yuqing was secretly calculating in her mind. Maybe, this group of capable people could throw more than twenty zombies at her at once.
Sister Qin: ...
Liu Xiaona stood up and said, "I'll go fight!" His water-based ability can turn into water ropes to strangle zombies.
After the others finished their instant noodles, they all got up, left their bags with Song Yuqing, and started playing around near the supermarket.
Song Yuqing thought that since he had absorbed several crystal cores, his combat power might be similar to theirs. Seeing how they were enjoying the fight, he also wanted to try it himself.
"No, the energy you absorbed was all used in space, so your combat effectiveness is very low." Master Fu exposed Song Yuqing without mercy.
"What about me?" Song Yuqing twitched his lips.
"You, the stronger your spatial ability is, the better you will be at protecting yourself when you encounter danger."
"How to protect?"
"Hide inside."
Song Yuqing: Just let me be a coward.
Master Fu showed no mercy to Song Yuqing: "Who told you to stay up late every day? Your physical fitness is so poor!"
To be honest, Master Fu felt that it was pure luck that Song Yuqing was able to outrun the zombie swarm on the night of the meteor shower. The zombies had just been born and their combat effectiveness was still weak. If it were now, Song Yuqing would not be able to outrun the zombies.
An hour later, Sister Qin and the others returned with ten zombies with their skulls smashed. There were eight primary zombies and two intermediate zombies. A week and three days had passed since the night of the meteor shower, and the zombies had already evolved into quite a few intermediate zombies.
What about humans?
Sister Qin shared the same concerns as Song Yuqing. She carefully touched the security door and asked, "Can this thing detect the ability level of a psychic?"
Song Yuqing was stunned. Master Fu had never said that.
"Try it?" Song Yuqing was the first to put his fingers through the security gate. The white light touched his fingers, which felt a little itchy.
"Ding, intermediate spatial ability."
Good guy, Master Fu doesn’t say anything.
Sister Qin and others lined up excitedly to pass through the security gate.
"Ding, intermediate gold-type ability."
"Ding, elementary earth-type ability."
"Ding, elementary wind ability."
"Ding, intermediate fire ability."
"Ding, intermediate water ability."
Sister Qin was happy. Their small team was really good! She was proud!
"You have never absorbed the energy of the crystal core before, but you have reached the intermediate level. This means that fighting zombies can also improve your superpowers." Song Yuqing analyzed.
Liu Xiaona nodded vigorously: "That makes sense!"
Sister Qin looked at Song Yuqing with great admiration in her eyes. Who wouldn't like such a frank and smart person?
"Song Yuqing, let's be friends." Sister Qin extended her hand to Song Yuqing, not only because Song Yuqing was powerful, but also because Song Yuqing had let them know important news and did not take advantage of the information gap to slaughter them.
"Okay." Song Yuqing could feel the expectation and sincerity in Sister Qin's eyes and held Sister Qin's hand. "After you go to the base, remember to come back and patronize the God's Supermarket."
"Don't worry, we will definitely help you promote it!" Liu Xiaona promised, patting her chest.
Seeing that it was getting late, Song Yuqing invited them to stay in the God's Supermarket for one night, but Sister Qin did not agree. She hoped to get to the nearby base as soon as possible.
"Are we in such a hurry?" Song Yuqing didn't understand. What if he went to the base a day later?
"You don't know, we heard the day before yesterday that this base was overcrowded and they were considering not accepting anyone. We were worried and wanted to go early to reserve a spot." Liu Xiaona sighed. Otherwise, he didn't want to travel at night in the dark. Who knows what might suddenly appear.
After hearing what Liu Xiaona said, Song Yuqing stopped trying to persuade them to stay. She rummaged through the shelves and took out a flashlight for them.
"Although Aunt Zhang can create flames to light the way, it wouldn't be good if she runs out of power before reaching the base."
"Thank you." Sister Qin accepted the flashlight.
Liu Xiaona felt her pockets and rummaged through her bag, but couldn't find anything suitable to give back to Song Yuqing, so she had to give up.
Sister Qin is different. She has the ability to give Song Yuqing a practical gift in return.
Sister Qin used her gold-based abilities to reinforce the self-built house where the God's Supermarket was located with a layer of metal frame.
"in case."
It’s heartwarming, a long-lost friendship.
Song Yuqing watched Sister Qin, Liu Xiaona and the other four people leave, then looked back at the God's Supermarket, feeling a sense of loneliness in his heart.
