Chapter 21: Crystal Core Divergence, Disappearing Supplies
The zombie baby incident forced Shen Qianxun to prioritize upgrading her superpowers in order to protect herself and Marshmallow.
There are four kinds of superpowers that need to be nurtured. To upgrade from level 2 to level 3, about 400 ordinary level 2 crystal cores are needed.
There is only one early-stage second-level healing crystal core now. Because it has its own special properties, it can be equivalent to 5 ordinary second-level crystal cores without attributes. It was also exploded under special circumstances. There are only 36 ordinary first-level crystal cores harvested today.
The book describes that the second-level crystal core first appeared on the 11th night of the apocalypse. Gu Wanyin and others encountered a second-level mutant zombie in the mall, and Xiao Yaoyao also died at that time.
But the situation has changed somewhat now. Shen Qianxun plans to concentrate on collecting supplies for another two days, and then devote himself to killing zombies and upgrading his superpowers.
On the other side of the city, Gu Wanyin and his group also received a surprise.
Not only materials, but also the improvement of superpowers.
Lin Feng awakened the wind-related ability, while Yang Wei awakened the earth-related ability.
Among the five people, four have awakened their special abilities.
However, there was also a big disagreement, which was the distribution of the crystal cores harvested today.
Gu Wanyin suggested that the average score would be given to those who solved the problem together, and those who solved the problem alone or contributed significantly more effort would be counted as individual points.
Fu Siyan suggested upgrading all his lightning abilities because his abilities had the strongest attack power.
Gu Wanyin sternly refused, "This is unfair to others."
Fu Siyan directly brought up Xiao Yaoyao, who had no special abilities, and said, "She doesn't have any special abilities, so she doesn't need a crystal core at all."
The henchman Yang Wei nodded in agreement, "It's useless to give her the crystal core, and Yaoyao can't kill the zombies alone."
Xiao Yaoyao was unable to refute and lowered her head in silence.
The past two days of traveling were very tiring for her. She gritted her teeth and persevered, but after two days, she still couldn't kill a zombie alone.
Most of them were solved with the assistance of Lin Feng and Gu Wanyin.
She had no objection to not giving the crystal core to her, but she disagreed with giving it all to Fu Siyan. "I can accept not giving the crystal core to me, but I think Wan Yin's fire ability is more lethal."
After these words were spoken, Fu Siyan's face turned ugly, and he couldn't help but think of today's actual combat situation.
As long as he hits the zombie's head, the thunder ball he swung out can barely take care of one, but Gu Wanyin's fireball can easily take care of it, and the power lasts longer.
Although I don't want to admit it, it is true.
The scene was a little awkward for a moment.
Fu Siyan made a concession. Except for Xiao Yaoyao, everyone else could get crystal cores according to their respective contributions.
Gu Wanyin looked at Yang Wei who was about to take the crystal core and sneered, "If I remember correctly, Yang Wei, you didn't kill the zombies alone, right? Many times it was Lin Feng and I who helped solve the problem. Even Yaoyao, who didn't have any special abilities, helped."
Yang Wei didn't feel guilty at all. He was very confident after having super powers. "But I have super powers, and she doesn't."
Lin Feng, who had been silent for a while, said, "Although he has special abilities, that's all."
Fu Siyan interrupted with a sullen face, "That's enough, just divide it up as I say."
The tone brooks no refusal.
Gu Wanyin wanted to continue arguing, but Xiao Yaoyao quickly held her back and shook her head at her.
Gu Wanyin took two deep breaths and said in a cold tone, "Let's act separately tomorrow."
After saying that, she looked at Lin Feng, and Lin Feng nodded to her.
Turning around, he continued, "Tomorrow, Yaoyao, Lin Feng and I will be in a group. You two can do whatever you want."
After saying that, he took his own crystal core, and despite Fu Siyan's obstruction, he pulled Xiao Yaoyao back to the bedroom.
After the argument, the relationship between the two people, which had been stable, was once again rifted.
Gu Wanyin sat on the bed and sighed. It is said that true friendship is revealed in times of adversity, but thinking about what happened in the past few days, she finally realized that Fu Siyan had changed.
No, maybe he was just like that originally, but he just didn't realize it.
Now that she thought about it, in just a few days, she had witnessed Fu Siyan's coldness, ruthlessness, and dictatorship.
She and he might really have to go their separate ways.
"Wan Yin, don't be angry, upgrade first."
Xiao Yaoyao was comforting him.
Gu Wanyin took out three crystal cores and said, "Yaoyao, this is for you."
Xiao Yaoyao waved her hand to refuse, "I don't want it. Even if you give it to me, I will give it to you."
At the same time, he was worried that Gu Wanyin would be PUA by Fu Siyan, "I really think you are better than Fu Siyan."
Gu Wanyin looked at Xiao Yaoyao who looked serious and couldn't help laughing, "I know, I also think I'm better than him."
After saying that, the two of them smiled at each other.
In today's battle, watching Fu Siyan's supernatural attack, Gu Wanyin found that it was indeed not as powerful as his own primary fire supernatural power.
Before arguing, she can also take care of the other person's self-esteem.
But from now on, this man’s so-called self-esteem has nothing to do with her anymore.
After a day out, she was given 15 crystal cores, which she absorbed quickly.
Now Gu Wanyin's fire element has reached the threshold of the first level peak.
After absorbing it, he demonstrated the upgraded fire ability to Xiao Yaoyao, and both of them looked excited.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Xiao Yaoyao went forward to open the door. It was Lin Feng.
"This is for you."
After saying that, he was about to leave.
Xiao Yaoyao looked at the three milky white crystal cores in her hand, stepped forward and grabbed Lin Feng, "I don't want them, you use them to upgrade."
"It's given to you, do with it as you please."
With a faint tone, he turned and left.
Behind him, Gu Wanyin, who had been watching the whole thing, looked sly and said, "Hey, Yaoyao, why are your ears red?"
Xiao Yaoyao ran back to the house in anger, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth that she was not even aware of.
"Here, it's for you." He handed the three crystal cores to Gu Wanyin.
Gu Wanyin was not polite and did not forget to take out a small notebook to write it down. "Keep the account first. I will pay you back when you have super powers later."
Xiao Yaoyao covered her mouth and laughed, "That has to include interest."
Gu Wanyin raised her hand and made an OK gesture, "No problem."
After absorbing the crystal core, Gu Wanyin was extremely happy. Now her fire ability has reached the peak of level one, and she is only one step away from level two.
Have a good night.
The fifth day of the apocalypse.
Shen Qianxun’s target today is a nearby mineral water factory and an agricultural and sideline products wholesale area.
According to the offline map, the two places are not far apart, but they just need to pass through the bustling and lively streets.
Fortunately, all superpowers have been upgraded to level two, which greatly improves safety. As long as we don’t encounter high-level zombies, there won’t be any major problems.
Today's travel vehicle is the Paramount Marauder, with a khaki body and extremely stealth capabilities.
He rushed all the way, easily crushing ordinary level one zombies, greatly reducing the consumption of superpowers.
One of the thunder zombies threw thunder balls at the car window, but the thunder ball attack was not as powerful as a grenade, and was finally crushed in the head by the wheel.
Not long after, Shen Qianxun came to the agricultural and sideline products wholesale area.
However, the huge wholesale area seemed particularly empty.
Shen Qianxun, “???”
An agricultural and sideline products wholesale area of more than 100,000 square meters, is this it?
Going deeper, I looked around and saw that the doors of the surrounding shops were all open. Looking inside, all that was left were the computers at the cash register and the card machines.
The shop's signboard has obviously faded, and it has been in use for at least several years. It is definitely not a newly opened store with no stock.
After walking around for more than half an hour, I didn't see any zombies or living people.
Almost all the supplies in the shops disappeared.
