Chapter 111 Something's Not Right
The group unleashed a barrage of superpowers, their abilities incredibly strong.
Jiang Peng, who was squatting on the corner of the rooftop eating compressed biscuits, frowned as he watched.
"The information from above is correct. These people are indeed incredibly strong. Wasn't it said that the research on crystal cores at each base was still in its initial stages, far from the level of developing ability-enhancing fluids? How could these people be so strong? And how did the higher-ups know they were so strong?"
He was only told to follow these people and to be careful not to alert them.
These people's abilities are currently around level five, so don't underestimate them.
They also said that only Meng Shiwan could find what they were looking for, and that they would seize the opportunity to take it once they found it.
Jiang Peng also had many questions.
For example, it's only been a little over a month since the apocalypse began. Apart from their base developing the perfect ability-enhancing fluid, which greatly improved the strength of ability users, other bases have only just begun their research on crystal cores and are far from developing ability-enhancing fluids. Why are these people so strong?
For example, what is the person above looking for? Why is it that only Meng Shiwan can find it?
When orders were given from above, Jiang Peng was only responsible for carrying them out; he knew nothing else.
All he knew was that the people in his base were paying extra attention to this man named Meng Shiwan.
As for what he should pay attention to, he didn't know.
Meng Shiwan and the others worked until the early hours of the morning before returning to their cars to sleep.
The next morning, Meng Shiwan woke up and drew back the curtains to see Lei Zhe and the other two already outside killing zombies, while Tao Yarong was waving her vines with great enthusiasm.
I don't know when these people woke up, but they've already started working.
Meng Shiwan yawned, got out of bed, and took the clothes out of the washing machine to hang them on the second floor.
She went into the bathroom to wash up, and then prepared breakfast.
This morning I cooked instant noodles, the Sichuan pepper beef flavor, with sausage, greens, braised chicken leg, braised chicken feet, pig's trotters, and shrimp.
The ingredients are plentiful, but eggs are missing.
She had stocked up on a lot of meat and fruits and vegetables in her space, but forgot to stock up on eggs.
I need to raise a few hens on the farm when I have time so that I can have eggs to eat.
After cooking, she carried the small pot to the sofa area, turned on the monitor, put on a lighthearted and funny variety show, and ate while watching TV.
This premium version of instant noodles is very satisfying.
Lei Zhe started a group chat: "Sis, what time are we leaving?"
Meng Shiwan held a chicken leg in one hand and gnawed on it, while using the other hand to hold down Ta Xue's head to prevent it from sticking its head into the small pot to steal food.
She thought for a moment, "I won't leave today. I'll clear out all the zombies here and set off tomorrow morning."
She lacks a crystal nucleus.
There are enough zombies here; clearing them out should yield a decent amount of loot.
Lei Zhe exclaimed excitedly, "Okay, sis!"
They also wanted the crystal cores, which suited their needs perfectly.
After finishing breakfast, Meng Shiwan also got back to hunting zombies.
As the sun grew stronger, Lei Zhe and his two companions once again envied Tao Yarong and Meng Shiwan's wood-type abilities, which allowed them to stay in the cool car and easily hunt zombies.
Lei Zhe looked up at the blazing sun and said, "No, it's too hot. Let's go to the shady spot inside the factory."
The group fought as they moved toward the nearest factory.
They didn't slack off at all today's zombie hunt.
They killed zombies from morning till night, and the number of zombies in this terrifying electronics factory gradually thinned out.
The once empty ground was now piled high with zombie corpses, not a single one of them with a intact head.
By dawn, the number of zombies had dwindled to just a few dozen wandering around the vast open space, a far cry from the densely packed horde that had appeared when they first arrived.
Lei Zhe was exhausted but still had some energy left. "So many zombies just vanished like that. Qiu Zhiyi, give me a shower, and we'll go to your car to divide the crystal cores."
Qiu Zhiyi used his water-based powers to wash away the zombie blood from the three of them.
He even carefully washed the plastic bags containing the crystal cores that he and Anjiewen were carrying.
It's now time to settle the results, and it's already 1 a.m., but they don't feel sleepy at all.
Meng Shiwan is also settling accounts with her crystal core.
There are a total of 985 crystal nuclei, including those inside the crystal collection box and those in the metal box outside the RV.
"That's really good." Meng Shiwan was very satisfied with the quantity.
After her powers were enhanced and the number of vines she could grow increased, she was able to hunt zombies and obtain crystal cores much faster.
In less than two days, they collected more than 900 crystal cores.
Tao Yarong's voice rang out, "Sister, I have 432 crystal cores. I want to buy two more bottles of ability enhancement liquid."
She used vines to hang the plastic bags containing the crystal cores and carried them to the window of the RV.
Tao Yarong hadn't washed it; there was still blood on the crystal core. Meng Shiwan took it, cleaned it with her water-based supernatural abilities, and poured it onto the cabinet.
He then opened the store, bought two bottles of superpower enhancement liquid, put them in a bag, and hung them on Tao Yarong's vine.
Meng Shiwan opened her phone's memo app and recorded that Tao Yarong had stored 32 crystal cores.
While the three of them were still calculating the accounts, after dividing the crystal cores, Anjavin and Reiz returned to their car to check the quantity in the collection box.
Then they borrowed from each other and finally delivered it to Meng Shiwan.
An Jiewen gave Meng Shiwan 323 pills, plus the 77 pills she had saved up, for a total of 400 pills, to buy two bottles of ability enhancement liquid.
Lei Zhe gave Meng Shiwan 301 pills, bought a bottle of superpower enhancement liquid, and saved 101 pills.
Qiu Zhiyi gave Meng Shiwan 239 pills, bought a bottle of superpower enhancement liquid, and saved 39 pills.
Meng Shiwan now has a total of 1,750 crystal cores.
1,500 crystal cores were used to upgrade the space in the U-shaped sofa cabinet, which will then be used to store seeds.
Two hundred and fifty crystal cores are ready for use.
After taking care of these things, they could sleep peacefully.
We didn't get up until after 10 a.m. the next day. After eating something, the convoy started and hit the road.
Destination germplasm bank.
There were still very few zombies on the road, and the journey went smoothly.
Ironically, the closer they got to the suburbs, the more zombies appeared on the roads.
After observing for a while, Meng Shiwan discovered that the increasing number of zombies on the road were actually coming out of various factory areas and gathering on the road on their own.
The zombie horde is advancing in the same direction as them—towards the germplasm bank.
Anjiewen said in a deep voice, "Something seems a little off."
Having hunted so many zombies, they know their characteristics very well.
Zombies have no intelligence. If a zombie walks to a corner, it will keep circling around the corner and banging its head against the wall unless there is any new noise behind it to attract attention.
But now, these zombies actually know to come out from the nearby factory.
It's unusual that they know how to turn, avoid obstacles, and are all moving in the same direction.
The further they went, the more zombies gathered on the road.
This further confirms the anomaly.
Logically, there should be fewer zombies in the suburbs, so why are they all gathering in the suburbs?
