Chapter 227 Another Tribulation
Meng Shiwan consolidated all the space, including the card space reserved for the team members to store various supplies, as well as some space in the RV for her own use.
Meng Shiwan concentrated all the available space into a new card, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be quite large.
It has a capacity of 50,000 cubic meters, which is enough to hold 50,000 tons of water. Even for a base, that would be enough to keep the water flowing for a while.
It seems that Tao Yarong and the others have been quite busy at the base these past few days, making various plans, building houses, and taking out and arranging the available supplies from their spatial storage. They've had a lot to do.
Meng Shiwan got up, walked to the pond, and took out a vine seed from her spatial storage.
The seed, as if infused with endless vitality, sprouted rapidly in her palm, branched out, grew, and meandered into the pool, its tip reaching towards the depths of the water.
Wherever the branches passed, the water level dropped rapidly.
The vines continued to spread deeper into the pool, and the water level was also rapidly decreasing towards the depths of the pool.
The once clear pool quickly turned into a large, dry pit.
The crowd stood at the edge of the pit, watching with amusement.
Even though they already knew that Meng Shiwan was a thirteen-elemental ability user, they were still shocked to see her use her abilities in person.
To create such a commotion so easily is something only a few people could do.
Looking at the small portion of the space that had been filled, Meng Shiwan sighed. It seemed that filling it with 50,000 cubic meters would not be a matter of a short time.
Fortunately, the underground spring seemed to be quite large, and after she stopped moving, the water level rose steadily and rapidly.
It seems she'll be staying in this cave for a while, until she's filled up all the space, and then she'll leave.
Just then, several people carrying large black plastic bags passed by Meng Shiwan.
The plastic bag was heavy; inside was the corpse of the Zombie King, and stones tainted by the Zombie King's blood and flesh.
Fearing the zombie virus might seep into the pond, they meticulously inspected and cleaned every place the zombie king had been active in, even digging out a layer of stones, ready to throw them out.
"Where is the Zombie King's Crystal Core?"
Meng Shiwan's sudden remark made the group of people dragging their bags outside freeze. They lowered their heads guiltily and walked on, pretending not to have seen anything.
Hearing the noise, Ye Sangyu's eyes widened. "Oh right, where's the Zombie King's crystal core?"
After killing the zombie king, Meng Shiwan went to find Taxue to clean the zombie virus off the black cube and played with her.
The others first argued about who delivered the final blow to the zombie king, then were shocked by Meng Shiwan's abilities, and then Meng Shiwan talked about selling the ability-enhancing liquid.
One shock after another followed, and they forgot about another treasure: the Zombie King also had a crystal core.
Now that Meng Shiwan asked, they remembered and everyone started asking.
"Oh right, where's the Zombie King's crystal core?"
"I didn't see anyone take it. Ask those guys who were cleaning up the bodies."
All eyes were on a group of people dragging black bags, preparing to go out and throw away the trash.
Seeing that they couldn't get away with it any longer, the man at the front looked up and chuckled, "It's with me. I saw you were all busy, so I just took it for now, thinking I'd distribute it when we're rewarding everyone later."
As he spoke, he gave Meng Shiwan a resentful look.
If Meng Shiwan hadn't asked that question, perhaps everyone would have forgotten, and he could have secretly hidden it away and kept it for himself.
Ye Sangyu raised an eyebrow and said, "You wouldn't be thinking of pocketing it, would you?"
The man quickly waved his hand, "How could that be? With such a large crystal core, you'll remember it sooner or later. Where could I hide it?"
He opened his hand, and in his palm lay a rhomboid crystal the size of a duck egg.
Meng Shiwan stepped forward and took the Zombie King Crystal Core in her hand. It was even larger than the one she had obtained last time. She should be able to exchange it for quite a few things with the system.
She said, "I won't take the ability enhancement fluid; I just want this crystal core."
The Zombie King Crystal Core is a treasure. It's so big, it looks very valuable. It could probably be exchanged for a lot of ordinary crystal cores.
But since Meng Shiwan had already said that, and they still needed to buy the ability-enhancing liquid from Meng Shiwan later, they couldn't afford to break off relations, so no one voiced their objections.
To be honest, if it weren't for Meng Shiwan, they might not even be alive now. This good stuff should belong to her.
After making sure there were no problems inside the cave, Wu Ming called out to everyone, "Mission accomplished, it's about time we left."
"You guys go first..."
Just as Meng Shiwan was about to say that she wanted to stay here to continue collecting water, a loud explosion suddenly rang out outside the cave, followed by a violent earthquake.
The ground began to shake, and they couldn't even stand still. They were shaken so badly that they were thrown about. The stalactites above the cave broke off with the tremors and crashed down one after another.
Large chunks of rock fell from above, creating a chaotic scene that felt like the world was about to collapse.
Fortunately, everyone present was a superhuman, and they were able to protect themselves from the falling rocks.
"What's going on? Was there an earthquake?"
"This shouldn't be happening. How could it come so suddenly? There shouldn't be any earthquakes during acid rain."
"Didn't they say the earthquake wouldn't happen for several years?"
"It wasn't an earthquake. I just heard an explosion. Someone is blasting the mountain."
Meng Shiwan instantly appeared beside Taxue, picked up the black cube from Taxue's arms, and said, "Taxue, go back to the farm first. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine."
Before Ta Xue could react, Meng Shiwan took her into the farm without saying a word.
She ran out of the cave carrying the black cube, glancing at Ye Sangyu, who was being protected by her teammates and had already run quite a distance.
Meng Shiwan used her lightning-based superpower to cleave several large rocks blocking her way. She turned a corner in the cave and found that the faster superpowered individuals were all blocking the way ahead. She looked up and saw that outside, rocks were flying everywhere and acid rain was falling.
The once magnificent entrance to the cave has long been destroyed by blasting. The mountain above is collapsing, and large rocks are constantly rolling down, with more and more falling. Before long, the entrance will be completely blocked.
The mountain above the cave is extremely steep. If the entire mountain were to collapse, even if they were superhumans, they would be trapped underneath and would not escape death.
"What do we do? Our armor was at the cave entrance, and it was all blown away."
"Without armor, we can't last long in the acid rain. Going out means death, staying in means death too. We can't just stand by and watch."
"We have no weapons, no equipment, and our superpowers can't stop the mountain from collapsing. Ye Sangyu's time reversal can't cover the entire mountain. We're in big trouble. We can't just sit here and wait to die, can we?"
They thought that after killing the zombie king, nothing would happen, but they never expected that another calamity awaited them.
Ye Sangyu cursed, "Which bastard is blasting up the mountain for no reason?"
