Chapter 150 Hail
"Anyway, we don't need to worry about Yan Que causing trouble for us. Now that the people from the C City base have left, can we go out on missions?"
Shu Xin was eating a small mousse cake on a plate with gusto. After listening to her husband's analysis, she looked up and asked a question.
It's not that she loves doing missions or is keen on killing zombies. If there wasn't a huge gold-eating beast on the third level of her space crying for food, she wouldn't go out even if it begged her to do so. Is it because she is not comfortable being a salted fish in the base, or is it because the bed is not soft enough? She doesn't have a masochistic tendency.
It has been two years since she started feeding the gold-devouring beast with crystal cores. All the first-level attributeless crystal cores that were captured later went into its stomach. The attributeless crystal cores that she and Yan Mo absorbed were all replaced with second-level or above ones. The energy that the first-level attributeless crystal cores could provide to them was already negligible, leaving only a small portion for daily expenses.
Even so, the progress bar of the gold-devouring beast is still advancing very slowly, and as of today, the progress bar has barely reached one-third of the way there.
"Well, it's time to go out for a walk. I feel like I'm about to have some problems after being stuck in the base for a month. I haven't killed zombies in a long time, so I'm a little uncomfortable." Makimai rarely spoke up to agree.
"Okay, pack up tonight and set out tomorrow to see if your skills have improved recently."
Seeing that everyone is so enthusiastic, Yan Mo certainly won't object.
Unfortunately, their plan to go out the next day had to be put on hold.
Just after midnight, fist-sized hailstones suddenly began to fall from the sky, hitting rooftops, car roofs, the ground, lakes, and the sea. People who had just fallen asleep were all awakened and looked out the windows at the sudden hailstones outside.
"Huh?! Honey, what's that noise outside? What happened?"
Shuxin, who was having her period and feeling sick in the stomach, had just fallen asleep when she heard some noise outside. She sat up from the bed and turned around to look for Yanmo who was no longer beside her.
"it sleets."
Yan Mo, who was standing in front of the window, leaned slightly to open the curtain a little so that Shu Xin, who was sitting on the bed, could see the situation outside clearly.
"???"
"hail?"
"!!!"
Shuxin's mind was still a little dazed, but after digesting Yan Mo's words, he instantly became sober.
“Knock knock knock—”
There was a knock on the bedroom door, and Makimai's voice came from outside the door.
"Brother Mo, it's hailing outside. I don't know why the intercom doesn't work."
"Okay, I get it. It looks like the hail won't stop tomorrow. Don't stand at the door. Go back to sleep and we'll talk about it tomorrow when we wake up."
Yan Mo opened the door and saw three people standing in a row outside. He told everyone to go back to sleep, and then he thought of something in his mind.
"By the way, don't pick up the hailstones outside out of curiosity. Just stay in the villa. Don't drink the water provided by the base. Replace it with bottled mineral water. Use the bottled water in the storage room for washing."
"good."
The three of them did not ask anything about what Yan Mo said for the time being. Yan Mo would not harm them anyway, and he must have a reason for asking them to do so.
He closed the door again, drew the curtains, and returned to the bed without saying a word. He held Shuxin in one hand and gently rubbed her lower abdomen with the other hand to relieve her menstrual discomfort.
Shu Xin was also silent. She knew that this hailstorm was also a prominent part of the apocalypse in the original book...
