Chapter 66 Unable to Calm Down
Meng Shiwan replied, "Yes, we'll collect supplies along the way, with our targets being gold shops and pharmacies."
Precious metals are small in volume and have high integral value.
Needless to say, medicine is extremely precious in the apocalypse.
Since trucks have limited capacity, they naturally pick out the essentials.
She won't stock up on anything in her RV unless she absolutely needs it.
We need to accumulate crystal cores to expand our storage space, which will then be used to stockpile medical equipment and medicines at the hospital.
"receive."
The group moved slowly forward from the air-conditioned driver's seat.
The obstacle clearing machine was clumsy and heavy. When zombies rushed over, the tracked rollers would run over them and crush them into flat cakes.
Tao Yarong drove her truck over the cake again, turning it into mud.
Zombies are highly aggressive and contagious, but they are still no match for reinforced heavy machinery.
In this industrial zone, the roads are relatively open. Even when encountering some vehicles blocking the road at intersections, it wasn't a problem for the two clearing machines, and they moved forward smoothly.
Once we entered a slightly more bustling urban area, the progress slowed down considerably.
The zombie outbreak occurred at midnight, right when people were leaving get off work.
Those who leave work a little earlier are already on their way.
With a large population, there are many vehicles on the road, and in some places, it can even cause a street blockage.
Two road clearing machines worked diligently, their huge metal claws grabbing a car, slowly turning around, and tossing it to the side of the road or onto the opposite lane next door.
The machine's speed is what it is; it simply can't go any faster.
Tao Yarong and Meng Shiwan followed behind in their car, only managing to advance a short distance every so often, and they were getting impatient.
Meng Shiwan sat there holding Taxue, feeling a little bored.
She opened the map and saw a commercial center two blocks away, where many gold shops were located.
Since we're just idling around anyway, we might as well go collect supplies.
She called out in the group chat, "The two boys continue clearing the road. Tao Yarong, park the truck where it is. I'll come pick you up later. You can ride in my car, and we'll go collect supplies together nearby."
"receive."
"receive."
"receive."
Meng Shiwan opened the crystal core collection box, counted them, and found a total of sixty-three crystal cores, including those collected last night.
She summoned a perspective view of the RV, revealing that all sixty-three crystal cores were used to upgrade the medicine cabinet.
Then, she drove the RV to the truck and Tao Yarong climbed out of the truck window onto the roof of the RV.
Meng Shiwan reversed the RV, turned around, and headed towards the commercial street.
After turning a corner, the street was blocked by many vehicles.
Tao Yarong witnessed Meng Shiwan's arrogance once again; he just kept going and crashing around recklessly.
This RV is a converted light truck, so its power is quite good.
Tao Yarong silently tied herself to the small pole with a rope to prevent herself from being thrown off.
There are too many cars parked haphazardly on the road. When the RV pushes all kinds of cars to a certain extent, it will completely block the road.
Tao Yarong was about to peek out and ask if they should get out of the car and rush over.
You can see that the bare plants in the green belts on both sides of the road suddenly start to sprout and grow rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, these plants had already grown several meters tall, their slender branches catching the wobbly cars and flinging them onto the opposite lane.
The road that was completely blocked ahead was instantly cleared and unobstructed.
Meng Shiwan continued driving the RV, while Tao Yarong, sitting on the roof, remained completely dazed.
Wood-type superpower.
This is her wood-based superpower.
Her wood-based superpowers could only activate a few plant branches to kill a few zombies.
Low-level superpowers are not very lethal.
Its greatest use is in growing vegetables.
But the wood-type superpower in Meng Shiwan's hands was so spectacular.
It can instantly produce so many branches, easily moving dozens of cars.
If used to kill zombies, it should be able to kill hundreds instantly.
Is this the power of a level 5 superhuman?
Tao Yarong was completely exhausted from watching it.
It wasn't until Meng Shiwan turned a corner and rammed into the vehicle in front of her again that she was jolted back to her senses.
"Metal element, space element, ice element, wood element, four elemental abilities, not three elements, but four elemental ability users!"
Tao Yarong felt completely bewildered. How could there be a four-elemental ability user?
Isn't that a bit too overpowered?
Who on earth is this amazing person?
They were still struggling with low-level superpowers, fearing they would die in a horde of zombies.
Some have already become powerful level 5, four-elemental ability users.
Tao Yarong suddenly felt that the wonders of the world belonged to others.
She had just calmed herself down when the plants on both sides started growing wildly again.
Tao Yarong stared wide-eyed, realizing she couldn't stay calm at all.
Meng Shiwan drove her RV forward, trying to squeeze through the crowd. When she couldn't get any further, she used her wood-based superpower to move the blocked vehicles and then continued driving and trying to squeeze through.
After repeating this process three times, they finally arrived at the business center.
Seeing the gleaming gold shop facades on both sides, she felt only a longing for material goods.
Completely oblivious to the fact that there was someone tied to her on the roof of the car, Tao Yarong was dumbfounded.
Meng Shiwan parked the RV in front of the largest gold shop and glanced inside. The gold in the counter was still there, and the door was locked from the inside, so there should be survivors inside.
She picked up Ta Xue, who was sleeping on her lap, and put her aside. "Sweetie, I'll be back in a bit."
Ta Xue squatted on the central handrail and watched her get off the bus.
Ever since she was breathing out in the heat outside last time, the clingy Ta Xue has stopped following me around like a shadow.
There were many zombies outside, and they were gathering towards the RV after hearing the roar of the engine.
Meng Shiwan's body was surrounded by ice spikes that condensed in mid-air. Dozens of finger-thick ice spikes shot out, instantly wiping out a group of zombies.
"Wow, this guy is awesome."
Tao Yarong got off the car roof and followed Meng Shiwan toward the gold shop.
She took a tiny seed out of her pocket, and with the help of her supernatural power, it sprouted three branches.
Tao Yarong manipulated the nimble branches, wrapping them around the neck of the charging zombie. With a slight tightening, the zombie's head was severed, crashing to the ground and rolling a considerable distance away.
She stayed behind Meng Shiwan, her mind filled with the image of Meng Shiwan manipulating plants, countless branches tearing apart the car.
When will she reach level five ability user, so that she can kill hundreds or thousands of zombies with just one stab with so many branches?
Just imagining the scene made Tao Yarong grin with satisfaction, and she worked even harder to control the three branches to kill zombies.
Meng Shiwan banged on the glass door and shouted, "Is the jewelry store owner here?"
She may lack morals, but she has a bottom line.
If the boss isn't around, just rob him.
If the boss is around, we'll have to change our approach.
She was expressionless and spoke loudly. Behind her stood a wood-type ability user busy killing zombies. Someone peeked out from behind the counter, saw this scene, and then withdrew their head.
The store manager was a middle-aged woman. She was wearing a slightly wrinkled suit and looked somewhat panicked, huddled in the corner behind the counter, asking the people around her for directions.
"That guy outside is acting all aggressive, and he's a superhuman. What does he want with our boss?"
