Chapter 143: The Scent of Fragrance
The first battle was a great success, and Yun Shuhuai was satisfied with the large number of crystal cores in the space.
This time, the harvest was comparable to what he had obtained in the past three days outside.
Ye Zixu broke his dodder in disgust, and Yun Shuhuai leaned over to grab the broken end of the vine and injected energy into it. After a while, the golden vines covering the square began to wither and turn brown, looking like they had been dead for a long time.
The withered vines mixed with the corpse pulp on the ground, and the ground and walls were also corroded with pits and pits, making this place look as desolate as if it had been abandoned for more than ten years.
"You special types are too scary."
Ye Zixu sighed as he looked at the scene below. Not long ago, this was still a normal square. It was only a year before the end of the world. Since it was full of zombies, all kinds of infrastructure were still intact, but now it was completely destroyed.
Ye Ziwan excitedly jumped in front of her brother and said, "Xiaowan can protect her brother in the future."
The little girl was really happy. This was the first time she used her own ability to kill zombies. She was always protected by her brother and two sisters before. Now she also has powerful abilities and will never be bullied by others again.
Although her superpowers were released through Yun Shuhuai's hands this time, one day she will become stronger and be able to independently manipulate superpowers to help her companions.
Ye Zixu pouted after hearing what Ye Ziwan said. Although he was happy to see his sister become stronger, he suddenly felt that his sister no longer needed him, so he hurriedly said, "No! I must protect Xiaowan."
"Brother, are you afraid that I will be stronger than you in the future?" Ye Ziwan walked up to her brother and smiled.
Ye Zixu said: "No! Xiaowan is my sister, and I have to protect my sister. I promised Grandpa."
"Humph, but the sister can also protect the brother, so the brother won't have to work so hard in the future."
Looking at Ye Zixu's firm eyes, Yun Shuhuai touched the heads of the two children and said: "Be good, brothers and sisters should protect each other, let's move to the next place."
The four of them rested on the roof for a while, took out the crystal core to replenish their energy, and when their physical strength was almost recovered, they went downstairs and drove to the next place.
For three days, the four of them shuttled through the city at a high intensity, killing monsters while moving forward, and finally arrived at the vicinity of the city zoo.
However, they did not rush in, but first found a safe high-rise building. The four of them planned to have a good rest on the roof for a day to prepare for the next action.
In the past three days, they hardly rested during the day, and they would continue to work as soon as their physical strength recovered.
Ye Zixu almost vomited from playing with the drone.
During this period, they also encountered a group of people who were chased by a large group of zombies and fled.
Yun Shuhuai, who happened to be standing on the roof, saw them and helped them, killing the zombies chasing behind them, but after the danger was lifted, those people not only did not leave, but also turned around to dig the crystal cores of the zombies without even a word of thanks.
This made Yun Shuhuai laugh. It turned out that he was trapped like a dog by the zombies and did nothing, and the zombies just wanted to take away all the things after being killed?
Yun Shuhuai stretched out a finger with a sharp claw, and without hesitation, he casually slashed downwards. A silver energy blade brushed the man's fingertips and hit the ground in front of him, leaving a deep crack.
His finger was touched by the energy blade and blood immediately flowed down.
The man held the still intact finger and looked at the girl on the roof in horror. His companions did not dare to act rashly after seeing the sudden attack.
Yun Shuhuai looked at them, stretched out his index finger that still had a sharp claw, placed it in front of him, and shook it gently.
The people downstairs felt a strong threat. They had already recognized who this person was. A fifth-level mutant must not be offended. It would be easy for him to kill them, but now it was just a little skin breakage on their fingers. If they continued to pester him, they would surely die.
They looked at the zombies on the ground reluctantly, then turned around and ran away without looking back.
Ye Zixu controlled the dodder to spread downstairs and picked up the crystal core.
This episode did not cause any impact on Yun Shuhuai and the others. They still had a fulfilling three days.
The fourth day was a rest day before the next stage of work. In order to relax, Yun Shuhuai held a barbecue party on the rooftop.
This time she released two RVs, and then decorated the rooftop a little to make the venue look presentable.
Most of the barbecue was taken out directly from the space kitchen, but some raw meat was also taken out and skewered by hand to create a barbecue atmosphere.
They haven't had such a large-scale dinner for a long time. Usually, if they want to eat something good in the base, they have to close the doors and windows for fear that the smell will leak out.
Every time they eat, Xi Qing is the most tired. She has to ensure that the fragrance will not leak out, and finally she has to change the air in the whole villa to send the fragrance into the sky to diffuse.
But now they can eat as much as they want, and the fragrance will float freely without having to worry about who to guard against.
All the equipment for barbecuing is ready, and you don't even need to light the stove. You can just take it out from Yun Shuhuai's space and use it directly.
The weather was sunny that day, with a breeze blowing. The rich aroma of barbecue on the roof drifted with the wind and filled the quiet city.
In a building not far away, the fragrance drifted into a room through the window.
At this time, a team was hiding inside, seven men and one woman. The woman was shivering in a man's arms. These two people were Su Moxi and Lu Jingyu, and this team was Yanyu's team.
They had previously climbed into this room from downstairs to avoid the zombies, and were now resting.
These people had been running all morning and had eaten some dry food to fill their stomachs, but the strong aroma coming in from outside immediately aroused their appetite and their stomachs began to growl.
"Oh my God, it's the smell of meat, where is it coming from?" one person exclaimed.
"Who is it, who is grilling meat nearby? Damn, this smell, I haven't smelled such a fragrant barbecue for a year."
This smell is really enviable. These people leaned over the window to look out, but their position was too low and their vision was blocked by the building in front of them.
"Close the window." Lu Jingyu said, he could even hear Su Moxi's stomach growling in his arms.
Su Moxi was an ordinary person, but she insisted on going out with him to suffer. Seeing her gradually becoming haggard in the past few days, he felt very sorry.
The fragrance made them feel dazed, not to mention others, even he himself could not stand it.
However, the glass of the window was a little broken, and even if it was closed, the fragrance would seep in. The lingering fragrance was more pleasing than the one that wafted across the face.
"Brother Yu, it smells so good. How long have we not eaten meat?" Su Moxi sat up from Lu Jingyu's arms and whispered.
Lu Jingyu patted her back to comfort her, "It will be soon. After we have a good rest, we will go to the zoo. There are many mutant animals nearby. When the time comes, we can kill one and eat meat."
"Yeah." Su Moxi responded and shrunk into Lu Jingyu's arms again.
Under the influence of her supernatural power, Lu Jingyu felt very distressed.
In the past few days, the crystal cores obtained by Yanyu and his team have already allowed Lu Jingyu to reach the fourth level, and the purpose of their coming here is to defeat the second S-level mission target.
