Shen Jing looked at Gu Yan.
Although we couldn't see any change in his expression.
Just by looking into his eyes, you can feel his contentment.
Just as she was thinking about how to torture Gu Yan to extract a confession, she saw Gu Yan suddenly lean forward and move closer to her.
Their eyes met, and Gu Yan gave a slight smile: "The time isn't right yet."
"Um?"
Shen Jing thought he deserved a beating.
She turned away from him and continued eating the grilled meat on her plate.
The juices and meaty aroma combine perfectly.
Just one bite and your mouth is filled with the flavor of meat.
After the two finished eating the barbecue, it was almost midnight.
Gu Yan went out once during this period.
When he returned, he reached out and handed her the spoils.
It's actually a lightning-type crystal core...
Shen Jing looked at him with some surprise, "I didn't sense anything."
It's easy to imagine that this crystal core is of a higher level than her third-tier lightning element.
Gu Yan placed the crystal core in her hand before leaning on the table and saying, "It's a fifth-tier crystal. Your lightning element is ready to be upgraded."
He didn't say anything, and Shen Jing hadn't noticed yet.
She's been consciously using her lightning-based abilities lately, but she hasn't been paying attention to leveling them up. This is because her mental abilities are simply too overpowered; every time she devours a crystal core, it's absorbed by her mental abilities.
This leads to a nutritional imbalance in the dual-ability system.
She held the lightning-elemental crystal core in her hand, somewhat doubting whether she could absorb a fifth-order one.
But the result did not disappoint her.
After absorbing that lightning-type crystal core, I will advance directly to the next level!
[Lightning-type ability, Tier 5]
Shen Jing clenched her fist. "It actually worked! Gu Yan, look!"
Gu Yan was watching intently, and upon hearing her words, he was also moved by her excitement.
He raised his hand and placed it on her waist. "So happy?"
"Absolutely! My lightning-type ability hasn't progressed at all, I thought I wouldn't be able to advance!"
"Advancing dual-elemental abilities is indeed quite difficult."
It's probably just completed its upgrade.
It could also be due to the day's travel and fatigue.
Shen Jing leaned against Gu Yan's side and slept soundly until dawn.
After they had rested and were fully refreshed, the two continued their journey.
The scorching heat outside continued, the earth was parched and cracked by the sun, and a layer of heat waves rose from it.
If a human were to walk on it, they would feel like they were about to spontaneously combust at any moment!
The supernatural detection probed further into the distance and saw another convoy behind the car, led by an SUV.
There was some distance between them, and if it weren't for Shen Jing's special ability, she wouldn't have known that someone was following her.
Moreover, the person stalking them was full of malice!
Seeing this, Shen Jing raised an eyebrow.
The people on the bus included familiar faces as well as people I had never seen before.
It doesn't matter whose idea it was to bring up this convoy, but there should be superhumans on board. It's just a matter of whether they want to be the mantis or the oriole!
Shen Jing took out an orange from her spatial storage and drank it.
Gu Yancai, holding the steering wheel, said, "Follow along, this is the direction of hell."
The people following them probably didn't know they were going to the crater.
If they found out, they'd be terrified.
"It's not Su Huan and his group; they might be bystanders."
"The target is also the earth-based crystal core."
Those who can leave once they've completed their mission will not care about the impact of the earthquake.
All they care about is the key and leaving this messed-up world.
Shen Jing frowned. "Then everyone's departure key must be different."
Did she need to kill Gu Yan in her past life?
In this life, she couldn't remember anything about the [key].
Gu Yan chuckled, "Probably."
Recalling the familiar faces in the convoy, Shen Jing's heart stirred. "It seems that humanity will fall into internal strife again in the future, to the point that zombies and mutants will take over the territory."
Upon hearing this, a meaningful glint flashed in Gu Yan's eyes.
Gu Yan, who had been uninterested just moments before, now seemed to have become somewhat interested.
"And what about you?"
"What?" Shen Jing sipped her orange juice.
Which formation do you want to win?
Shen Jing didn't think too deeply about it, but simply took out a piece of dried meat and took a bite, saying, "Even if I wanted to, I couldn't save this apocalypse."
"Stay neutral?"
While they were talking, Shen Jing jotted down all the clues from the past two days in her notebook. They hadn't gotten any supplies this time; they'd been too busy dealing with one unexpected event after another.
There are still quite a few supplies in the space.
Moreover, they can farm and raise livestock to be self-sufficient, but it always feels like it's not enough!
Only after Gu Yan kept pressing her for answers did she realize, "Haven't I always been quite neutral?"
Stand on the side of humanity?
But she didn't feel she could contribute anything to humanity.
Should we side with the zombies and mutated plants and animals?
In the future, a group of powerful beings like Vasily will emerge, but they will actually remain neutral. Well... not actively harming humans is already the ultimate act of mercy, but if humans provoke them, they will definitely be courting death.
Shen Jing rested her chin on her hand and stared outside.
“No matter what you do for humanity, you can always get stabbed in the back.” She drew circles on the glass window with her finger. “I don’t want people to die because of this, but they will still die protecting the survivors.”
Their behavior cannot be simply labeled as that of a "saintly mother."
Do we need heroes in the apocalypse?
For unarmed humans, they are the last straw.
Shen Jing is not that kind of hero.
But she still admired and respected them.
Is it a contradiction?
