The grain and oil wholesale market is very large.
Shen Jing decided to go find her SUV first.
Huang Simiao is very clingy to her now, almost inseparable from her.
However, He Qing had no objection to Shen Jing's decision.
He picked up a wooden stick as a precaution, and asked, "Are you heading to the western base?"
Logically speaking, no one should happen to be driving by at that exact moment.
Unless his destination happens to be the western base!
Shen Jing answered evasively, "I came out of the base to look for some supplies."
As for where the vehicle came from, there are plenty of people living on the hillside in the city, so it's normal that their vehicles are intact.
Nawasi... well, let's just say he's a big dog that we adopted halfway through life.
Moreover, since they were just strangers who had met by chance, Shen Jing not only held back from them, but also had to be secretly wary of them!
Revealing her supernatural abilities was just a convenient excuse, since Zhang Run was a renowned hero who defended the city in her previous life, and his team shouldn't be too bad. At least Shen Jing's supernatural ability detection didn't detect any malice or conspiracy, but ultimately, they were just strangers now.
Breaking through Shen Jing's defenses with her natural enthusiasm, Huang Simiao grabbed her arm and shook it. She asked curiously, "So, roughly when did I awaken my wood-type ability?"
"The process of awakening superpowers is usually quite difficult. You should try it again after you return to the base."
"How do we try it?" Huang Simiao was the kind of person whose enthusiasm was irresistible.
He Qing's eyebrows twitched as he listened. He coughed lightly, wanting to remind her to be mindful of her behavior.
Shen Jing didn't mind.
People who are more thoughtful may prefer to associate with people who are open-minded and honest.
Because it's easy, and you don't have to worry about the traps hidden in her words.
“There are crystal cores in the heads of mutated plants, animals, or zombies.” Shen Jing took out a transparent crystal core from her backpack and repeated what she had said before: “When a person shows signs of awakening superpowers, they can absorb the energy of the crystal core and then truly awaken their superpowers.”
"Okay! I'll go find some zombies right now and see if they have any crystal cores!"
Huang Simiao looked at the wandering zombies with high spirits.
She had no idea about crystal cores before, and she had missed countless opportunities to awaken her superpowers!
Shen Jing shook her head and chuckled.
She could tell that although Huang Simiao was tempted, he wasn't going to be a freeloader.
Great, Shen Jing has always had a natural affinity for sweet girls.
But He Qing noticed something else: "Are there many mutated plants and animals?"
The western region was actually better off than other cities during the snow disaster.
Although the altitude is relatively high, it should be quite cold, but it is the least affected by snow disasters.
This prompted many people in nearby cities to quickly realize the situation and flee to the west for refuge.
Especially with the arrival of floods, more and more people came, and the base had to be expanded several times.
However, in an environment approaching -50 degrees Celsius...
Even if the elderly and children go out for less than 10 minutes, their lives may be in danger.
The base's supplies for the numerous survivors were already far from sufficient.
Although temperatures have risen somewhat since the flood season...
But who knows what disasters might follow once the floodwaters recede!
He Qing looked at Shen Jing with a solemn expression, waiting for her answer.
Shen Jing nodded and said carefully, "City C has fallen. First there was the flood, then the zombies. When we arrived at the western base, we also encountered many mutated plants and animals."
"Even plants and animals have mutated..."
“Yes, there was a case of a mutated vine killing someone in S City,” Shen Jing reminded him.
He Qing really didn't know this information.
The latest official announcement dates back to internal documents related to earthquake relief efforts.
Even when they went to F City for rescue, they were unable to notify the western base.
He Qingjian frowned, a moment of bewilderment in his eyes: "Won't the mutations and disasters stop?"
Shen Jing said calmly, "Perhaps, people always need to have hope."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Huang Simiao waving at her from the other side.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that she had indeed found the transparent crystal core.
It is not tier 1, and it has no attributes.
In other words, just like the transparent crystal core provided by Gu Yan, it can help those with superpowers awaken.
Shen Jing looked at Jinli Miaomiao and gave her a thumbs up, "It's a crystal core."
"That's true, I've already pried open more than ten!"
Aside from her natural fear of that level 1 zombie, Huang Simiao was absolutely swift, accurate, and ruthless when dealing with other zombies.
"What a promising talent," Shen Jing couldn't help but say, "If the energy load seems too heavy, don't force it to absorb."
If it weren't for the fact that she was already on the verge of awakening, Shen Jing wouldn't have bothered with this matter.
He Qing looked at the crystal core thoughtfully, "What would happen if other ordinary people swallowed the crystal core?"
This guy really knows how to get to the point!
Shen Jing revealed that ordinary people would self-destruct if they forcibly swallowed crystal cores.
Huang Simiao was so frightened that he almost dropped the crystal core in his hand!
She said with lingering fear, "I'm sure many people would be tempted to try it."
Huang Simiao's first thought was Zhou Lihao.
Shen Jing shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Not everyone will try to pry out the crystal core."
It's not to say that only a small percentage of people have the courage to face zombies.
The probability of finding a crystal core in the early stages of the apocalypse is not high.
The speed at which humans awaken superpowers is indeed lagging behind the mutations of mutated plants and animals.
This is why most of the survivors died.
Even if randomly absorbing crystal cores will cause it to self-destruct...
