Chapter 53 Torrential Rain and Extreme Cold? 11
Chapter 53
After calming down, Lin Xia extended her mental energy outwards and saw a scene of utter devastation. The entire world had been ravaged, with cracked earth, tilted and broken mountains, and large areas of charred black earth everywhere.
The ice broke, the soil turned upside down, trees were uprooted and scattered elsewhere, revealing frozen bones and limbs underneath.
Lin Xia closed her eyes. Luckily, there were few people here, otherwise it might have been a scene of carnage.
The group chat kept flashing, and Lin Xia lay down to look at it.
Ji Wei: "Sister Hongyu, Brother Xie, Lazy Cat, are you all alright?"
Ji Wei sent the message several times in a row, just then Xie Cheng replied: "I'm fine, luckily the thunderstorm didn't knock me over."
Ji Wei: "Didn't you have an earthquake?"
Xie Cheng: "No, you had an earthquake?"
Ji Wei: "Yes, it was a terrifying earthquake. The air-raid shelters collapsed, killing many people. Some were even crushed to death. There were so many people here, it was so scary..."
Lin Xia: "I'm fine."
Ji Wei: "Seventh Sister, I knew you were alright, but this air-raid shelter seems unsafe to stay in. There are cracks in many places. If there are any aftershocks, something bad will definitely happen."
As he spoke, he posted many videos of air-raid shelters. Indeed, there were cracks in many places inside the air-raid shelters, and people were crying, groaning, cursing, and despairing everywhere.
Lin Xia turned off the video. She thought that Lazy Cat hadn't said anything yet, but at least its name was lit up. It was probably knocked unconscious by the impact. She looked around but didn't see the other ball of dirt.
Ji Wei huddled in the corner, hugging herself as if she were scared. In fact, she was thinking about where she should go. Nowhere was safe. She felt that Seventh Sister's earthen ball was the safest place.
But Seventh Sister couldn't possibly let her stay by her side. Her chats with Lazy Cat these past few days weren't for nothing. It's obvious that Seventh Sister wasn't staying with Lazy Cat. That's probably because, just like how Seventh Sister can produce so many props, she has a cheat ability that allows her to obtain an unlimited number of props.
Since she can have one earthen ball, she can definitely have a second one. However, she doesn't have earth-based abilities, so she would be in danger if she encountered another thunderstorm or earthquake.
Therefore, she still needed to exchange for a few [Earth Element Cards]. Thinking of this, she flipped through her spatial ring, searching for items that could be used for exchange.
Her gaze quickly settled on an item: [Double Spirit: Doubles the target's mental strength. The same effect cannot be stacked. Duration: 5 minutes. Uses: 3]
Thanks to her talent, she always gets a lot of good things. Her initial mental strength is also not low. After awakening her superpower, she accidentally added mental strength and discovered that adding mental strength can not only make her superpower more numerous, but also make her stronger.
When she received the [Attribute Selection Card], she chose Spirit for all of them. However, when her Spirit broke through to 10, her Constitution was only 8. At that time, she felt very uncomfortable. The feeling of disharmony between her mind and body disturbed her sleep, and she always felt that her body was about to collapse.
Therefore, after exchanging for the items that ensured her survival, she quickly exchanged them for two constitution cards, only then did she feel that her mind and body had reached a balance.
Since then, she has not dared to add mental power casually, and always had to improve it together with her physical constitution. Therefore, when she obtained that card, she was both happy and worried.
The good thing is that this is something that can save your life in a critical moment, but the bad thing is that my body might not be able to handle it and I might collapse on the spot.
She figured that with so many attribute cards, Seventh Sister wouldn't be as helpless as she was. This card was useless to her, but it must be a godsend for Seventh Sister. Although she hadn't encountered an enemy powerful enough to need this card yet, who knew what the future held...
Ji Wei felt a little guilty, but she could ask her seventh sister, and if her seventh sister didn't want it, she could choose something else.
Then, he opened his private message: "Seventh Sister, look at this item [Double Spirit]. I want to exchange it with you for an Earth Ball and a few [Earth Element Cards]. Is that okay? But I don't dare to use this card. When my spirit was higher than my physique before, I felt that my body couldn't handle it. I need to tell you about that."
The item is valuable, and it might even be life-saving, as long as one's physical condition can keep up. After a moment's thought, Lin Xia agreed: "But we can't trade right now."
“I know, but there’s always a calm period after a thunderstorm. I’ll go find you. Don’t worry, I have this [Waterproof Suit: A suit that repels moisture, keeping you dry from head to toe. Duration: 3 months.] I’ve tried it, and it protects against lightning strikes.”
Lin Xia suddenly realized why she dared to say she was coming to M City to find her. It turned out she had something to rely on. While others got shoes, she got a complete set, while she got nothing. She couldn't compare.
"Then how are you going to find me? I don't even know where I am."
"Ahem... Um, Seventh Sister, I have a [Location Crystal: can pinpoint a person's exact location (except in special spaces), 3 times/day]."
Lin Xia took a look and exclaimed, "Wow, isn't this what I backed up? I didn't expect her to have even this!"
"But the clay ball doesn't have a door." Lin Xia thought that might not be a problem.
"Sister Sanqi, I have a teleportation talisman. Can I use the positioning crystal to find you?" Ji Wei asked somewhat nervously.
Lin Xia thought to herself, "As expected, it works."
Ji Wei clenched his fist. He only dared to reveal so many props in front of Seventh Sister, since she had even more than him.
There was also some helplessness. If it weren't for this kind of natural disaster and apocalypse, I could easily save my life and wouldn't have to make a deal with Seventh Sister like this. I wonder if Seventh Sister will think I'm weak.
She stood up, her face instantly turning panicked, muttering as she walked, "Is no one going to care about us? Is no one going to care about us?"
Everyone looked at her and was overcome with grief. Some wept bitterly, while others, like her, were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to go out and seek justice.
Ji Wei breathed a sigh of relief and followed the others outside. She quietly slipped away from the crowd and crawled out through the broken doorway.
After using the prop, she found that Seventh Sister was not far away, so she quickly rushed over.
Lin Xia opened a window and looked at Ji Wei, who was covered in dust and dirt.
Backup successful: 1 Waterproof Suit backed up, requires 1000 Survival Points
Backup successful: Backup spirit doubled *1, survival points required: 3000
Seeing that doubling spirit required 3000 points, Lin Xia was surprised. She increased the number of Earth Element Cards she had exchanged to 5, handed them out the window, and exchanged them for an Earth Ball next to her.
Although these things don't match the value of Ji Wei's "Double Spirit," the earthen ball is something that can save lives in this post-apocalyptic world.
If she were to give Ji Wei the points based on their value, she would be completely out of her mind, and it would only make Ji Wei further confirm his situation. One should never underestimate anyone's intelligence.
Lin Xia added a few handles to Ji Wei's earthen ball. After all, unlike themselves, they don't have energy as long as they have a survival point. Once their energy is exhausted and they have no handrails, they might end up like lazy cats living in a washing machine.
Then they gave her 50 canisters of oxygen; the service was absolutely impeccable.
Do you need a window?
Ji Wei thought for a moment: "I want a smaller one." Otherwise, she would be scared.
I heard the system voice as soon as the modification was completed:
[Backup update complete: Safe house that can withstand thunderstorms. Updated, but still needs improvement. Requires 10 survival points.]
"Ah—I'm finally out!" Lazy Cat finally spoke in the group chat.
