Ye Yubai took the crystal core refining agent from Ye Zhi's hand, licked his dry, chapped lips, and said, "Perfect timing, I'm thirsty too. Thank you, Little Sweet Bean. I made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs for lunch today."
Ye Zhi likes to eat everything, and no matter what Ye Yubai does, he will add descriptive words that Ye Zhi likes.
But the taste is to Ye Zhi's liking. "Don't worry, it's on the sour side, not too sweet!"
"Great!" Ye Zhi excitedly handed Ye Yubai another zombie crystal core refining agent.
Ye Yubai accepted all the offers without hesitation, and they all drank the beverages.
Grandpa Song was very satisfied when he heard Ye Yubai add the extra detail, "slightly sour, not very sweet." He stepped forward, patted Ye Yubai on the shoulder, and took the zombie crystal core refining agent that Ye Zhi handed over. "Little Bai is good. I feel relieved to entrust the important task of the kitchen to you."
Ye Yubai instantly recalled the training meal that Grandpa Song had made last time; the taste…
Ye Yubai chuckled dryly, "Haha, Uncle Song, don't worry, I'll hold this baton well."
The old man's gaze swept over Ye Zhi and Song Yuanqing. These two were the first and second correct choices he had made. Zhang Dongliang stared intently at Ye Zhi's small hand, where another test tube appeared, the water inside still transparent.
Zhang Dongliang looked around and saw that everyone had a test tube in their hand except him, so the test tube in Ye Zhi's hand must be his.
As Zhang Dongliang wished, Ye Zhi looked at Zhang Dongliang and handed him the zombie crystal core refining agent, saying, "Uncle Zhang, drink it."
Those five words sounded like heavenly music to Zhang Dongliang. He was so excited that he stepped forward and reverently accepted the test tube from Ye Zhi.
In his eyes, there was only the test tube; the water inside, which puzzled and shocked Lu Ben, was not noticeable to Zhang Dongliang.
"Can I have this test tube?"
"Sure," Ye Zhi said nonchalantly. She had plenty of IVF tubes left, so sending one out wouldn't make a difference.
However, she remembered that Zhang Dongliang had said before that he liked to do experiments and was a researcher at the B City Research Institute. She wondered what Zhang Dongliang was researching.
Zhang Dongliang stroked the test tube wall, his eyes glistening with tears behind his gold-rimmed glasses. This familiar texture, this familiar style, was his favorite and most cherished experimental equipment.
A day apart feels like three autumns. They haven't seen each other for two months, and they miss each other terribly!
Ye Zhi noticed that Zhang Dongliang had been acting strangely ever since he received the test tube. His eyes... was he implying something? Did he really like test tubes and experiments that much?
Zhang Dongliang's strange behavior made Ye Zhi very happy; it seemed she had really found a talent.
Zhang Dongliang looked up and drank the water in the test tube in one gulp. His physical abilities quickly became abundant, even more than before. There was too much at once, and Zhang Dongliang's body could not handle it. He released the excess mental energy.
Now, the way he looked at Ye Zhi was strange. "Little kid, you can do experiments? How did you make this water that replenishes superpowers?"
"Let's talk inside the villa. It's freezing outside. Uncle Niu Ma, hurry up and get to work. Quickly pick up the crystal cores on the ground."
"These are the raw materials for the water in the test tube!"
Zhang Dongliang's mental strength made Ye Zhi and the others very clear-headed and full of energy.
Upon hearing that the crystal cores were raw materials, Zhang Dongliang became even more enthusiastic and used his mental abilities to control the crystal cores on the ground and put them into the bag that Ye Jingyu had prepared in advance.
His eyes lit up. Those were experimental materials! So many materials! Enough for him to do countless experiments!
At the same time, Zhang Dongliang was secretly rejoicing, because he had a lot of crystal cores in his backpack!
As expected of him, the moment he saw the crystal core emerging from the zombie's brain, he knew it was no ordinary object; it was his experimental material, practically his precious treasure.
Grandpa Song and Song Yuanqing were collecting crystal cores in front of the villa, while Lu Ke and Ye Yubai were collecting them on the left side of the villa. Lu Ben and Zhang Dongliang were responsible for collecting them on the right side of the villa. Lu Ben, whose superpower had been fully restored, melted all the remaining snow on the right side of the villa with a fire.
On their way to the back of the villa, Ye Zhi and Ye Jingyu sat on parent-child skis. Ye Jingyu's water-based superpowers manipulated the snow beneath the skis to propel them forward.
The extreme cold weather that other superpowered individuals feared was transformed into an ice and snow paradise by the two of them.
Ye Zhi felt the cool breeze blowing in her face and unconsciously opened her arms, causing the bear ears on her hat to bend under the wind.
Ye Zhi shouted, "Ah—" Her shout was carried far away by the wind. When Grandpa Song and the others who were picking up crystal cores heard Ye Zhi's happy voice, they couldn't help but smile and worked even harder.
Ye Yubai controlled the tree branches to roll the crystal cores twice as fast, as did the others.
Ye Zhi's sweet, childlike voice was immediately followed by Ye Jingyu's deep voice, "Ah—haha."
Ye Jingyu and Ye Zhi quickly arrived at the back of the villa.
Ye Zhi flew directly off the skis. After Ye Jingyu got off the skis, she put them back into her spatial storage. "Ptooey," Ye Zhi spat out a mouthful of water, which was the snow that had just entered her mouth when she opened it to shout. The snow quickly melted in Ye Zhi's mouth.
"Dad, let's move away!"
Ye Jingyu scooped Ye Zhi back from mid-air and strode toward the back of the earthen wall.
Seeing that the distance was about right, Ye Zhi produced flames from her palm and threw them onto the snow on the outermost layer of barbed wire. The flames quickly melted the snow, and the melted snow evaporated rapidly under the heat of the flames, obscuring Ye Zhi's vision with the steam.
With a wave of her hand, a gust of wind scattered the ashes on the ground, and then the scattered crystal cores on the ground were also blown together by the wind, gathering into a pile.
Ye Jingyu carried Ye Zhi to the pile of crystal cores. With a thought, Ye Zhi put all the crystal cores into her personal space.
When Ye Zhi teleported with Ye Jingyu to the front of the villa, Song Yuanqing and Song Moshang had already picked up all the crystal cores on the ground, and next to them was a bag containing the crystal cores.
Ye Zhi put the bag into her personal space. Just as the family was about to go to the left side of the villa, they heard the roar of a car engine.
The four looked up and saw three armored vehicles approaching, with the flags on them bearing the flags of the Victory Base.
"We've brought you a big order!"
