Duan Xiaolin used the muzzle of his gun to slowly push aside the pile of internal organs. "Look, there are more than twenty eyeballs in here, and a few have been chewed up. But judging by the shape and organization, it can still be determined that they are human tissue."
He counted them one by one.
Early morning is commonplace.
Pei Xiqing thought he could accept it, but he only held on for a few seconds before he couldn't help but lean over the side of the boat and vomited.
Duan Xiaolin smiled and leaned back.
It was a rare occasion that it didn't rain, and there was only a vast expanse of water all around. It had been almost two months since the end of the world and they hadn't seen the bright sunlight of the past. But when the rain stopped, a few rare rays of light fell on them.
The man tilted his head, his posture lazy. "How dare you try to catch a parasite in the water?"
Pei Xiqing: "How can this be the same? I'm going to go in the water to catch them. At least I won't see these disgusting things, and I won't have to rip them apart in the water."
She turned her head and saw that he had cleaned up all the dirt on the ground.
The light fell on the side of his face, with a tenderness he had never felt before.
Pei Xiqing sat back, stared at him for a while, and praised: "Serious men are the most handsome."
He laughed: "Try again? Do you want me to teach you how to cut this time?"
Pei Xiqing gripped the dagger tightly: "No need, Qiu Chao told me last time, I just didn't master it well... I will definitely be able to do it this time."
The dirt on the ground was moved to the other side, and she started cutting the parasite again.
Good thing I found the right place this time.
It's just so hard inside.
The hand holding the dagger trembled uncontrollably.
Pei Xiqing stabbed hard.
The man's hand came up, circled the back of her hand, and with a little force, the dagger instantly pierced the chest of the parasite.
A date-sized crystal core in the chest was emitting a faint light.
She took it out and spread out her palm. "Look, isn't this a little surprise?"
Duan Xiaolin raised his eyebrows, held her hand, and carefully examined the crystal core on it: "Low-level crystal core."
"Take your time, there will always be more advanced ones. When these parasites appear, it means they have different crystal cores in their bodies, so as long as we don't give up, we will always find better and more advanced crystal cores."
Seeing Pei Xiqing's delighted face, he chuckled softly, "Okay."
Although these crystal cores were far from meeting his requirements.
But there is nothing wrong with what he said.
This time Pei Xiqing reached into the water to fish it out.
As soon as her arm emerged from the water, it attracted the attention of underwater creatures.
In less than two seconds, she caught a parasite.
It looks like a fish, but it's covered in parasites and worms.
Pei Xiqing shook off the insect, caught a small fish, and cut it with his knife.
This time the crystal core is smaller, only as big as a finger, but the quality is obviously a little higher.
She raised her hands with joy: "Look!"
Duan Xiaolin wiped the blood off her hands, his eyes softening: "Okay."
"You won't have to worry too much about the crystal core from now on," she said.
Duan Xiaolin was silent for a long moment before he spoke: "These crystal cores are just a drop in the bucket for those with special abilities. It's good enough to improve their physique, but it won't have a significant effect."
