Chapter 120 Growing Stronger
Meng Shiwan's gaze fell on the horde of zombies still howling downstairs, and on the flat fields in the distance, her mind analyzing the information she had obtained.
Judging from the current situation, this Chuangyuan Base is not simple and may know many things that she does not know.
However, the Chuangyuan Base sells power-enhancing fluids, and the power users there are very strong, so she cannot go there rashly.
What she needs to do now is become stronger.
Only when she becomes stronger, her team becomes stronger, and even the base becomes stronger, will she have the absolute strength to face even more powerful enemies in the future.
"Let's build a base."
Meng Shiwan's voice remained soft and gentle, but it was filled with suppressed emotions and pressure.
The four team members watching from the side were taken aback, and then they all chimed in.
"Okay, whatever the captain says, we'll do."
"With my sister's abilities, it would be a waste if she didn't build a whole base."
“I also think so. The base is great. It’s your own territory, and you don’t have to worry about being targeted by others. It’s safer.”
"I think only by building a base can my sister's awesome copying ability be put to the greatest use."
Meng Shiwan turned around, her face full of questions, "How did you know I have the ability to replicate?"
Tao Yarong chuckled, "I guessed it. I've been following you for so long, I've guessed some of it."
Meng Shiwan: ...
These few people have already discovered it, so it won't be long before others find out.
She let out a heavy breath, banishing all those messy thoughts from her mind.
Forget about any conspiracy or situation; if I can't find a clue, I'll stop looking.
What she should do most right now is to keep getting stronger.
When soldiers come, she will block them; when water comes, she will dam it. As long as she is strong enough, no matter what conspiracy or trickery she tries to pull, she can crush it.
"Let's go, let's clear out the zombies' stockpiled supplies."
Meng Shiwan turned and walked downstairs, with the others following closely behind.
They fought their way up, without collecting any seeds or zombie cores from the various levels.
Now that the danger is over, it's time to reap the rewards.
Lei Zhe jogged up to Meng Shiwan and handed her the egg-sized crystal core. "Sister, here you go."
Meng Shiwan took it, and the moment it landed in her palm, the system in her head exploded.
"Crystal core, crystal core, give it to me, give it to me quickly."
Meng Shiwan still can't understand why the system, which is just a program, has such a great passion for crystal cores.
The system saw the crystal nucleus like a dog seeing a meat bun; if it had a physical form, it would probably have jumped up by now.
Meng Shiwan asked in her mind, "First, tell me the value of this crystal core."
Using it as a regular crystal nucleus is definitely not an option.
The system quickly calculated, "What you usually obtain are level one crystal cores. Ten level one crystal cores are equivalent to one level two crystal core, ten level two crystal cores are equivalent to one level three crystal core, and so on..."
What you have is a level 5 crystal core, equivalent to ten thousand level 1 crystal cores, which can be exchanged for ten thousand cubic meters of space.
Upon hearing this number, Meng Shiwan's eyes lit up.
Ten thousand cubic meters! That's enough to store a lot of things. For the time being, we won't have to live a life where we're always struggling to make the most of our space.
However, Meng Shiwan didn't agree so readily.
"Give me more space. I risked my life to get this crystal core."
The system refused, stating, "There are precise conversion units between crystal nuclei, so this price is very fair."
Meng Shiwan knew it was stingy, so she changed the terms, "Okay, but you have to promise me one thing: no matter when I buy something from you in the future, you're not allowed to arbitrarily raise the price."
Whenever the system gets the chance, it always tries to trick her out of some crystal cores.
Last time at the Central Hospital, I bought the superpower enhancement liquid outside the RV, and it was 20% more expensive.
Shady businessman!
"Deal! I'll handle the expansion of the space you need directly for you." The system readily agreed.
Meng Shiwan thought for a moment, "Let's expand the space on the second floor."
Next, I need to collect some miscellaneous supplies. I'm too lazy to sort them, so I'll just put them all together.
"Alright." The system took the crystal core from Meng Shiwan's hand. "Expansion complete, space is now usable."
With enough space, Meng Shiwan no longer needed to be so frugal when collecting supplies.
All the seeds are placed in the U-shaped sofa cabinet, in the 1,500 cubic meter space that was expanded last time.
If we find any very useful information or cultivation equipment, we put it into the newly expanded 10,000 cubic meter room on the second floor.
As for the zombies inside the building, without the zombie king occasionally coming out to ambush them, ordinary zombies are no longer a threat to them.
On each floor, Meng Shiwan was responsible for killing zombies and collecting supplies.
The other four each tried to find their own way, busying themselves knocking on the zombies' heads to search for the crystal cores.
Tao Yarong was alright; when she unleashed her vines, she could smash the heads of hundreds of zombies in one go.
The special abilities of Lei Zhe, Qiu Zhiyi, and An Jiewen are of little use in the matter of mining crystal cores.
They could only use maces to smash the zombies' heads one by one.
Lei Zhe let out a soft "Eh?" and said, "Aren't there two idle people down there? Bring them up and give them a good whack on the head."
Why not make the most of this good workforce? He immediately took out his phone and called Lu Yu.
Lu Yu answered quickly, his voice urgent, "How are things up there? Is anyone injured? Did you catch that ghost-like zombie king?"
He's been worried ever since they went up there.
They were all very strong, but that zombie king was really strange and difficult to deal with.
Lei Zhe replied, "It's all taken care of. Now we're cleaning up the mess. The wounded are resting. You two come up and get to work."
"You guys are amazing! We didn't even see a shadow of the zombie king, and you took care of it just like that?"
Lu Yu was shocked, and he gained a clearer understanding of the strength of these people.
Lei Zhe said smugly, "That's right, we're the Dawn Squad, we're really good. Stop dawdling and come up here."
Lu Yu glanced out the car window and saw that the zombies that had rioted not long ago had suddenly quieted down.
Around that time, the Zombie King died, and without his control, the zombies returned to their previous aimless state.
Even so, with hordes of zombies outside, the two low-level ability users had no chance of breaking through.
Lu Yu snapped, "Do you think the two of us are that strong? There are too many zombies, we can't kill them all!"
Lei Zhe sighed helplessly, "You two get out of the car and close the doors. I'll have Tao Yarong pull you both up."
Lu Yu: ? ? ?
Is this even possible?
He looked at the nearly twenty-story building, wondering if the vines would break and cause them to fall to their deaths.
Thinking about it is one thing, but doing it is another.
Lu Yu sent a message to his teammate Ma Jiandong in another car. The two looked at the crowded horde of zombies outside, gritted their teeth, got out of the car, closed the door, and used their superpowers to carve out a small safe zone around them.
Even ordinary hordes of zombies are very difficult for low-level ability users like them.
If they have no way out and can't fight their way out, they might be worn down and killed by the zombie horde.
