Chapter 516
The first night was quite fruitful.
The time for the Kuroshio Current to erupt is getting closer and closer.
Chen Yu turned around and shouted towards the courtyard wall, "Wang Mengmeng! Li Mengyao! Call everyone and collect all the crystal cores in this area. Hurry up!"
Two heads peeked out from the courtyard wall and the two sides of the gate.
Wang Mengmeng ran out first, looked around, and said, "...Ah, these...are all our spoils?"
Li Mengyao followed from behind and looked at the crystal cores scattered on the ground. The red light shining down was so bright it was dazzling.
Chen Yu and Lin Yue, how many zombies did they kill?
Although she and Wang Mengmeng were close enough to see more clearly and could hear the sounds of flesh being pierced, they were still shocked when they saw such an outrageous scene. No wonder... no wonder Chen Yu insisted on keeping Lin Yue.
Li Mengyao glanced at Lin Yue.
Lin Yue happened to look over as well, met her gaze, and even smiled at her.
Li Mengyao immediately looked away, her hands clenching tightly under her sleeves, still unable to control her fear.
Footsteps echoed within the courtyard walls.
"Brother Chen Yu! Are you alright?"
"Chen Yu, how is it?"
"We just saw it, such a huge zombie!"
"Yeah, the zombies are flying around! Isn't that outrageous!"
The women immediately gathered around, chattering curiously and with concern.
Chen Yu waved his hand: "It's okay, the black blood on the ground is definitely not mine."
Zhang Wanyue walked up to Lin Yue and lowered her voice, "Lin Yue, are you alright?"
Lin Yue was stunned for a moment.
She seemed surprised that anyone would care about her.
after all,
Since she got on the bus, everyone seemed normal to her on the surface, but she wasn't stupid; she could see a kind of cautiousness and nervousness in her.
It's all because of that calamity.
I really wanted to fit in with everyone.
Moreover, based on her observations...
These girls aren't all sisters-in-law, are they...?
In reality, only a handful of girls are allowed to enter and exit the safety cubicles.
Moreover, people like Wang Mengmeng go for massages.
If I learn how to massage myself, will my brother stay with me longer?
I don't know why.
Being with her brother made her feel completely relaxed...
"Thank you, class representative. I'm fine."
Lin Yue smiled slightly and responded.
Zhang Wanyue nodded, then turned around to arrange manpower.
It took us almost half an hour to collect the crystal cores.
Fortunately, there were quite a few people on BabyBus, so they picked them up quickly.
If Chen Yu were to rely on himself alone, he would be exhausted.
After all, these crystal nuclei are too small, like grains of rice or pebbles, only they are shiny.
Picking them up one by one takes a lot of effort and energy.
Time passed second by second.
In a blink of an eye,
There is only a little over an hour left before the Kuroshio erupts.
The group had picked up almost everything, and there was nothing left to shine in sight.
Inside the factory,
Under the glow of the water-like blue light, the women counted the crystal cores they had collected.
"The regular ones, two hundred and seventy-six."
Zhang Wanyue spread out her hand, which was actually just a small handful, and then put it directly into her shirt pocket.
Lin Yue pressed further, "What about the black ones? There should be five, right? One of those crystal cores is equivalent to twenty!"
Zhang Wanyue smiled slightly: "They've all been found."
She placed the five black crystal cores separately in her other hand, and then put them in another pocket.
Since then,
The first night's harvest is fresh off the press.
That's still quite exaggerated.
After conversion, there are a total of 376.
The factory gradually quieted down.
Most of the windows were broken, and the wind was blowing in through the holes in gusts.
The temperature dropped very quickly.
During the day, you can still wear short sleeves, but right now, that thin jacket over your short sleeves isn't enough.
Li Mengyao muttered, "Why is it so cold..."
Liu Manqing wanted to take off her coat and give it to Mengyao, but Mengyao stopped her: "Oh, Auntie, I don't want your clothes!"
Liu Manqing shook her head: "What if you catch a cold? You're not very healthy..."
Li Mengyao immediately waved her hand: "Won't you feel uncomfortable if you catch a cold? I don't want your clothes!"
"This place is a completely different place at night compared to during the day."
Yang Kexin curled herself up in a ball: "It's getting colder and colder at night. I'm even thinking about when the outpost will freeze over."
Li Mengyao nodded: "I feel the same way. I should have taken that geothermal prototype from the car. Back then, I went into the monster's lair alone for our convoy and brought back a geothermal prototype. In the end, the Frozen Apocalypse was gone not long after..."
Zhang Wanyue said helplessly, "It was quite a long time. Don't underestimate that period; it could really freeze you to death."
after awhile,
Zuo Shi pulled out a piece of wood and a stick from outside.
"Will this work?"
"What?"
"To start a fire by rubbing sticks together."
A group of people gathered around to watch.
Zuo Shi placed the piece of wood on the ground and rubbed the stick between his two hands.
No, no.
Zuo Shi threw the stick away, both amused and exasperated: "Theory and practice are different!"
Deng Yuxin rubbed for a minute, but couldn't produce even a spark.
Yang Kexin stepped in, and started cursing halfway through.
In the end, Chen Yu squatted down, tore off a handful of dry sawdust from a broken wooden crate next to the factory, and stuffed it into the hole.
Hold the stick between both hands.
Press it down.
Spin it around.
Sure enough, the strength really worked. The stick spun at an extremely high speed, and in no time, smoke started billowing from the hole.
He stopped and blew two puffs towards the cigarette.
A small swarm of flames shot up.
The people surrounding them gasped in surprise.
Chen Yu waved his hand: "Basic skills, nothing special."
indeed,
This life has been too smooth.
In my past life, I had to painstakingly practice many skills to survive, but these skills have become rusty.
Chen Yu didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
In front of everyone,
The fire is too small.
Zhang Wanyue, Zuo Shi, Shen Qingci, and the others went to find new firewood.
The others gathered around the roasting hands, which were hot in the front and cool in the back.
Wang Mengmeng suddenly spoke up: "Tell me, why isn't there a single fire-type Awakened in our convoy?"
Li Mengyao: "Because there isn't one, there isn't one."
Wang Mengmeng snorted: "Think about it, fire magic is so useful. You can make a fire at night, boil water during the day, and it's also great for fighting."
Only Yang Kexin chimed in, "It can also light the way!"
Wang Mengmeng laughed: "Yes, yes! It can also light the way."
She moved closer to Chen Yu: "Brother Chen Yu, could you perhaps find a fire-type awakened girl?"
The factory fell silent for a moment.
Then bursts of laughter erupted.
Li Mengyao said helplessly, "Isn't it possible that everyone has lighters, thermos flasks during the day, and BabyBus has electricity?"
Wang Mengmeng: "..."
Just then, Josh suddenly looked up from the crowd: "Chen Yu."
Chen Yu: "Hmm?"
Josh said seriously, "There's an energy source coming from the direction of the door, heading this way."
