Rebirth in the Apocalypse: My Ex-Girlfriend's Guide to Winning Me Over
Chapter 88 The Battle for the Crystal Core
"Is Xiaoyou injured?" Yu Shuqin asked worriedly.
"Xiaoyou, do you need me to take your pulse?" Sun Zhibin's face was wrinkled.
He was actually a little disappointed. He had made a living from traditional Chinese medicine all his life, but in his old age, his medical skills had become useless.
"It's okay, I just need to rest for a few days," Zuo You replied casually.
Jiang Xinyu sat beside her, releasing pale blue specks from her hands that flowed into her body.
Jiang Xinyu's skills do not help repair mental strength, but they can relieve pain.
What Zuo You needs most right now is not energy transfer or drug treatment, but rather for her mental energy to get a full rest so that it can repair itself.
However, the current situation does not allow her to rest.
Zuo You needs Jiang Xinyu's help to alleviate the pain in her soul so that she can do other things.
Jiang Xinyu continuously channeled her supernatural power into Zuo You's body, making her feel as if she were in a forest hot spring. Every pore on her body felt extremely comfortable, and the pain in her head and soul was also greatly reduced. Her complexion gradually improved as well.
"how's it going?"
Do you need any medicine? Let me see if we have any here.
Zuo You waved her hand expressionlessly, interrupting everyone's questions, and beckoned Lin Ling to sit down.
She's not in the mood to chat with the people in the team right now.
He reached into his bag, pulled out a tablet, and opened a pre-downloaded offline map of the entire country.
After the apocalypse, satellites became unusable, and maps could only be viewed, but their location tracking function was lost.
Zuo You searched for quite a while before finally finding her current location.
There are still more than 90 kilometers to the T City highway exit. The highway is now full of zombies, so we have to get off.
Moreover, you can't take the national highway, as the road conditions on the national highway are only more complicated than those on the expressway.
A safer approach is to take the provincial highway.
The provincial highway has been under construction for the past few months, so there shouldn't be much traffic there. Also, the provincial highway leads directly to the mountain at the border of T City and N City.
Their only way out now is to go around via the mountain road.
We have to be quick, faster than the wildfires are spreading, or we'll be trapped in T City.
With that thought in mind, she pressed the communication button on her headset, "Everyone come back immediately and prepare to evacuate."
......
Outside the RV, the originally noisy sounds gradually diminished until only the intermittent symphony in the distance remained.
Some survivors began to venture out of the vehicle, nervously looking around and cautiously observing their surroundings.
One of them hid in the car, peering out the window at the cruel world with fear and unease.
Everything outside the car didn't seem unfamiliar; severed limbs were scattered all over the ground, as if telling the story of the bloodshed and cruelty that had just occurred.
He gently opened the car door, squatted down, and carefully felt around, searching for the crystal core inside the zombie's head. His eyes darted around, like a thief stealing away.
He was an earth-type ability user. When the zombie horde came, he put a few earth spikes in the car, which exhausted his ability. He didn't get out of the car after that and escaped the zombie horde.
Some survivors who witnessed this scene also mustered up their courage, got out of the car, and joined in looting the corpse. Among these survivors were not only ordinary people, but also some people with superpowers or awakened individuals.
Crystal cores are valuable items; anyone who sees them will be tempted.
Don't say that ordinary survivors can't use these crystal cores. Everyone is smart enough to figure out how to use them.
In a post-apocalyptic world, paper money is useless. What will we use for transactions?
Bartering: gold or crystal cores?
Gold is useful in times of chaos, but is it still useful in times of doom?
Regardless, until a new circulating currency is determined, crystal cores will certainly be one of the hard currencies.
At least half of the zombie corpses lying on the ground have not yet had their crystal cores extracted.
If we don't collect as many crystal cores as possible now, who knows if we'll have another chance like this next time.
Gradually, they became more and more blatant in their mining of crystal cores, and even started competing with others for them.
The awakened ones, who were determined to fight to the bitter end, were not happy to see this scene.
What, you run away when there's a fight, and then come back to take advantage after it's over?
On what grounds? On what grounds? On what grounds? Your shamelessness?
The inherent greed of humankind is on full display here.
The two sides pushed and shoved each other, and a fight inevitably broke out, with colorful supernatural abilities flying everywhere in an instant.
But those who hid in the car were either less capable of fighting or were afraid of dying and dared not face the zombies, which is why they were unwilling to get out of the car.
Now, how can they possibly defeat those awakened ones who have just gone through a bloody battle?
A dozen or so people lay on the ground, covered in blood, it was unclear whether they were wounded by the enemy or by friendly fire.
The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the zombies, and dozens of them surged from both sides of the road.
A scene similar to the one just now unfolded.
Faced with a small group of zombies, some people frantically hid back in their cars, while others, armed with weapons, vented all their pent-up anger on the zombies.
Therefore, some people only know how to fight among themselves.
Along the highway, in the ditch below the earthen slope, many survivors were hiding.
The width of this ditch is still under construction, and the ditch itself is still a dirt ditch.
It's about 70 centimeters deep and 40 centimeters wide. I don't know who started it, but someone lay down on their side inside.
Clever people would place another zombie corpse on the ditch to cover themselves and conceal some of their presence.
The group of survivors had just heard silence outside and wanted to go out to check, but then they heard noises, fighting, and the low growls of zombies.
Terrified, they lay back down in the ditch, too afraid to show their faces.
More than half an hour later, it became quiet outside again, and some people couldn't hold back and secretly looked out.
"Is it safe?"
"I see there are no zombies around."
"Safety what? Didn't you hear the screams not far away?"
"We can't stay on the highway anymore..."
"What do we do now? There are zombies everywhere, where can we run?"
The crowd climbed out of the ditch, cautiously looking around, muttering complaints, curses, and sobs.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd pointed to two armored vehicles and whispered, "Look at those armored vehicles. They must be military personnel. Let them take us to the base."
"Yes, following them is definitely the right thing to do."
“Look at the motorhome between the two armored vehicles, that must belong to some important person. Let’s go ask them for help.”
A murmur arose from the crowd, and someone took the lead, climbing back up the slope onto the highway.
......
Tang Haoran is tall and handsome, with bright eyes that are like deep lakes.
He is the captain of the Qinglong team, the top team in East China.
Tang Haoran's lightning-type ability awakened on the day the apocalypse arrived, and at the same time, the vice-captain Jian Hong's space-type ability also awakened.
He was on vacation at the time, and Jian Hong dragged him to climb mountains in the neighboring province.
They said they wanted to capture the first rays of sunlight tomorrow and upload them to social media to prove those who believed the doomsday rumors wrong.
