Chapter 3 Foolishness
Ling Ran glanced at Chen Le, ignored him, and began eating the bread in her hand.
With one bite, the soft bread and cream instantly filled her mouth, fragrant and tender, and Ling Ran's eyes lit up.
She had never tasted food with this flavor before; it was quite novel and delicious, a million times better than the compressed biscuits Ling Yi had just given her.
Pei Yi was still thinking about Ling Ran absorbing the crystal core energy: "You just absorbed the crystal core energy, did you convert it?"
He didn't believe that Ling Ran had conjured bread; he thought it was just a little trick by the little girl with spatial abilities.
"Mm," Ling Ran responded.
Besides spiritual energy, the crystal core did contain quite a few impurities, but she didn't understand anything about transformation; she just absorbed the spiritual energy.
"You changed so quickly?"
Pei Yi was somewhat surprised.
He is currently a level two ability user, but it still takes him half an hour to absorb a level one crystal core, and he needs to concentrate. However, Ling Ran absorbed the crystal core in just over ten seconds.
"How did you transform it? Why were you able to do it so quickly?"
"Why do we need to transform this? Can't we just absorb what we need directly?"
Ling Ran looked up at Pei Yi, who saw two words in her eyes: Foolish!
Pei Yi: "..."
The car suddenly stopped by the roadside, and the other zombies immediately surrounded it. Pei Yi didn't ask any more questions and said to Chen Le beside him, "Let's get going first and talk about it when we get to a safe place."
"Um."
The off-road vehicle started up again.
On the way to safety, Ling Ran regained her strength by absorbing a crystal core and learned about the current situation from Pei Yi.
Three months into the apocalypse, the country is in chaos, social order has collapsed, morality has declined, humanity has become distorted, zombies are everywhere, and natural disasters are constant. Superhumans have emerged out of nowhere and become saviors, capable of fighting against the zombies.
Through radio broadcasts and messages relayed by some flying superhumans, all that is known is that the country has established a base in the capital city, which can shelter ordinary people and serves as a refuge in the apocalypse.
Of course, in addition to the capital city base, other bases were also established in other places, becoming refuges for humanity.
Pei Yi and his group were about to head to G City, which was next to H City. It was said that a small base had been built in G City, and they planned to go there to see the scale and operation of the base.
If the base is too small or poorly managed, they will naturally want to change bases.
After understanding the situation, Ling Ran flipped through the original owner's memories and asked Pei Yi, "Where is Pei Xiu?"
Pei Xiu is Ling Ran's half-brother. After Ling Ran's mother, Lu Qing, divorced her father, she married into the Pei family, who were also divorced and had a child. This child was Pei Yi.
After starting their new family, Lu Qing and Pei Tianyun had another child, Pei Xiu.
"I went home first, but I didn't see Dad and Aunt. As for Pei Xiu, I haven't been to his school yet."
Pei Xiu is currently twenty years old and attends university locally. He often goes home even when he doesn't have a day off, so he doesn't know where he will be after the apocalypse.
"oh."
The original owner had a good relationship with Pei Xiu, but her relationship with her birth mother, Lu Qing, was just so-so.
Seeing that Ling Ran and Pei Yi remained silent, Chen Le finally found an opportunity to interject: "Brother Pei, the Lingda Shopping Mall is up ahead, shall we go?"
"Let Zijing take a look around nearby."
Lingda Shopping Mall was the place they wanted to go from the beginning, but such large commercial plazas, while having abundant supplies, certainly also carry more dangers.
Pei Yi and the others wanted to go and see, and if it was particularly dangerous, they would leave.
