Huang Simiao was also looking at the pedestrians on the road.
She was actually worried about the mutated plants and animals attacking the base, because at the moment, Cai Daojia's superpowers were useless.
After all, she has great difficulty even inducing seed production now, let alone dealing with plants that have been growing for decades!
Seeing her dejected look out of the corner of her eye, Shen Jing smiled and said, "The Wood element actually has a hidden skill. Want to know?"
"Mmm! Jing, what kind of skill is it?" Huang Simiao excitedly turned to look at Shen Jing, her eyes shining with surprise. "Waaah, can you please not let me be so bad at this? I don't want to always rely on other people's protection!"
"You just said those mutated plants and animals are very strong, right? They devour each other and obtain each other's crystal cores to advance their level."
"Yes, after all, the law of the jungle is the survival of the fittest."
Those mutated plants and animals are evolving too fast; how can humans keep up?
Survivors are terrified to even go out and kill a zombie, let alone the fact that there aren't many superhumans left!
Even now, some people still cling to the illusion that zombies resemble humans, simply hoping they might have a chance to turn back into humans. Huang Simiao had heard Li Chu mention occasionally that the research institute said zombie virus infection is irreversible unless a vaccine is administered before the biting instinct develops.
Forget about the non-existent vaccine; just consider the biting instinct—which zombie can control its mouth?
Shen Jing shook her head and continued to prompt her: "The strong can lead the weak. Think about the zombie that was chasing you back then."
Huang Simiao felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of the zombie that had been burned to ashes.
It did follow me the whole time. "You said it was a wood-type?"
“Yes, it’s more beneficial for advancement for crystal cores of the same type to devour each other. Your fear at the time was mainly due to the suppression of level.” Shen Jing took out a transparent crystal core from her backpack and handed it to her. “Under the suppression of level, there is absolute submission. Of course, you have to subdue the other party first.”
"Subdue?"
Huang Simiao was thrilled by what she said. Could she also make those mutated plants submit to her?
If that's the case, wouldn't that mean we'd be directly using mutated plants to hunt zombies?
That's... so awesome!
Seeing her excited expression, Shen Jing decided to cool her down first: "The premise is that you have to suppress them by level first."
Huang Simiao nodded frantically; she needed to obtain more crystal cores as soon as possible!
Moreover, she has to go to the back mountain with He Qing and the others, where there are all kinds of wood-type crystal cores!
"What do you think?" Huang Simiao looked expectantly at Shen Jing, who was driving intently.
Huang Simiao was about to jump up with joy when Shen Jing looked in the rearview mirror and nodded in agreement.
However, remembering that he was still in the car, he restrained himself slightly.
Soon, Shen Jing's car arrived at the base entrance.
The sky was cloudless and there wasn't a breath of wind.
At the empty entrance to the base, only the blazing sun cheered on the team.
The agreed meeting time was 4 o'clock, but due to the sticky weather, the organizers tacitly postponed it by half an hour.
Many people present looked weary and listlessly leaned against the scorching car windows, gazing into the distance.
Perhaps recalling that lyric, Huang Simiao almost sang it aloud: "Dark clouds, dark clouds, come quickly..."
But it's destined to be just a beautiful wish!
Even after they set off and the heat subsided slightly, not a single cloud shielded them from the blazing sun.
"Calling Huang Simiao, calling Huang Simiao." Zhou Lihao's voice came through the walkie-talkie. "Respond if you receive this! Over!"
"Zhou Lihao? This is Huang Simiao. Speak quickly if you need anything, that's all!"
Huang Simiao glanced at Chen Jing.
Previously, Zhou Lihao stood up for a woman with mysterious whereabouts and didn't hesitate to confront Shen Jing. Later, it was said that Zhou Lihao was still doing everything he could for that woman, I don't know what possessed him.
Shen Jing, noticing Huang Simiao's gaze, turned her head slightly. "What's wrong?"
Shen Jing bought a lot of walkie-talkies when she was shopping, but she never intended to form a team and therefore never used them.
Back then, I even bought the product advertised by the company as being for dealing with extreme weather.
However, she had no knowledge of these things, and communication equipment was not a necessity for her.
"No, no, I just wanted to ask if Zhou Lihao caused you any trouble afterward?" Huang Simiao remembered He Qing saying that the woman was strange.
"I haven't seen him since he returned to the base."
"Oh... okay."
Just as he finished speaking, Zhou Lihao's voice came through the walkie-talkie again: "Where are you in that SUV? Where did that driver get the sun umbrella? Oh right, aren't you afraid of getting roasted with the windows closed? And you even have anti-peeping window stickers, you can't see anything... Over!"
Huang Simiao was truly exasperated by Zhou Lihao, who seemed to have no brains at all when he went out.
After hearing those words, she was speechless. Even with her somewhat eccentric personality, she shouldn't have been rambling on the walkie-talkie.
Shen Jing was driving in the driver's seat, so she heard everything Zhou Lihao said clearly.
"The base is full of talented survivors, can't they even get an umbrella?" Shen Jing complained expressionlessly.
"Ha ha……"
Huang Simiao also wanted to ask where she got the parasol and sun hat.
She could also smell the faint scent of sunscreen on Shen Jing!
She loved that brand even before the apocalypse, but now it's nowhere to be found! That's why Huang Simiao immediately noticed that Shen Jing had taken the best possible sun protection measures, both inside and out.
Seeing that Huang Simiao didn't want to talk to Zhou Lihao, Shen Jing pointed to the back seat and said, "I just put a bag of soybeans and mung beans, as well as a water container. If you're bored, you can use it to practice your superpowers."
"Huh? But I really can't even get ordinary seeds to germinate..."
"Didn't I just give you the crystal core? You can absorb it to stimulate growth, and if that's not enough, you can absorb more crystal cores."
But before she could even ask where the crystal core came from...
Then Vassi pulled a bunch of things out of Shen Jing's backpack with his hands...
They are all transparent, attribute-less crystal cores!
Huang Simiao must have prayed to the right deity, for such good fortune was happening to her. Before, when she approached Shen Jing, she genuinely thought this young woman was incredibly capable. However, when Shen Jing first approached her at the base, Huang Simiao sensed that Shen Jing was bothered by her abrupt arrival.
But now! She's actually giving away so many crystal cores!
How many zombies do I have to kill to get one... No wonder she wasn't very enthusiastic about crystal cores before!
If Shen Jing could hear her thoughts, she would probably come out and clarify: "Girl, you must have some misunderstanding. She once sold her entire space to Gu Yan for the sake of the crystal core."
However, for her and Vassi, this batch of attribute-less crystal cores is indeed dispensable.
Since the awakening agent was successfully developed, she has already given a batch of crystal cores to Elder He for a fee. However, Elder He is more conservative than she expected, and she estimates that less than half of them have been used up yet.
No wonder they're a step behind the Huang family.
Thinking of this, she said to Huang Simiao, "Are you confident in surpassing Lei's Little Tyrant in S City?"
