Stocking up for the end of the world: Erha took me and my best friend to become well-off

"Are you hurt?" Yang Qing looked at Leng Yi nervously.

"No, this is not my blood, it's all from the catfish." Leng Yi shook his head.

The three of them returned to the dormitory. Leng Yi and Wang Hao went to take a shower first, and Yang Qing cooked some dumplings for them as a midnight snack.

The two of them were eating dumplings and looking downstairs. There was no one downstairs, and Catfish couldn't get into the building, so they all went to the street.

"Those who went missing yesterday should have been eaten by these mutated catfish. I suspect that yesterday was just a test. They found that humans have no way to deal with them, so they sent out more of them today and took the initiative to attack the people in the building." Leng Yi said.

"Do they have intelligence?" Yang Qing was surprised.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know." Wang Hao picked up a dumpling and put it into his mouth. "Those catfish can make choices. Most of them attack Leng Yi and few attack me. They prefer people with special abilities."

Yang Qing pondered, "They have mutated. Should they be able to sense the energy of people with special abilities?"

"They need the energy from the superpowers." Leng Yi put down his chopsticks, "Will they upgrade if they eat the superpowers?"

"It's very likely." Yang Qing nodded and looked at Leng Yi, "Then do they also have the energy we need?"

She remembered the energy she collected from the yellow ring of the centipede when she collected centipedes before, which accelerated the flow of space.

These catfish have mutated so much that perhaps they have the energy they need.

"What kind of energy do you need?" Wang Hao asked curiously.

"We are people with special powers, but if we fight, our powers will be consumed. Special powers cannot be in constant supply. We also need to replenish energy. Where does the energy come from?"

"In addition to normal diet and rest to restore energy, maybe we can get it from other places."

Wang Hao slapped his thigh and said, "No wonder those killed catfish were eaten by other catfish. They should also get energy from their own kind, right?"

"But how do we know where the energy is on its body? It can't have eaten those fish, right?"

Yang Qing and Leng Yi looked at each other. The centipede’s energy ring was on their heads before. Could the energy of these catfish also be on their heads?

"I've read some apocalyptic novels before. After the zombies mutate, they will have crystal cores in their heads. Do you think these catfish will have them too?" Yang Qing said.

"It's really possible." Wang Hao seemed to be thinking about something. "If it was before, I would never believe such a mysterious thing even if I was beaten to death. But now it's the end of the world, and there are so many mutated monsters. It's really possible."

"Let's go look for her." Leng Yi finished the dumplings in the bowl in a few bites, and the three of them went downstairs together.

There was no one in the corridor and no one dared to go out.

The dead catfish on the third floor is still there, but no one dares to throw it out now, for fear that the catfish outside will rush in once the iron door is opened.

Leng Yi took a sharp steel dagger and stabbed it into the catfish's head.

“Huh? You didn’t use your superpowers?” Wang Hao was a little surprised. Before, even bullets couldn’t penetrate this fish, but now it can be cut with a dagger?

After saying that, he also took out a dagger and stabbed it into the catfish, and it cut it in half in one go.

"It's probably because after it died, its energy couldn't cover its entire body, so it lost its protective barrier." Yang Qing said.

"It's possible." Leng Yi nodded, stirred the dagger in his hand, cut open the catfish's head, and reached in with his hands while suppressing his nausea.

After a while, he really took out a thumb-sized, shiny, crystal-like stone.

"Is it true?" Wang Hao was shocked.

Leng Yi made a "hush" sound, took out a tissue and wiped the crystal core clean, wiped the blood off his hands, and put the crystal core into his pocket.

The three of them returned to the dormitory. Leng Yi put the crystal core on the table and went to wash his hands.

When he came out, he saw Wang Hao holding the crystal core against the light and looking at it. "You can't see anything?"

Leng Yi smiled, took the crystal core and placed it in the palm of his hand. When he opened his hand again, the crystal core in his hand had turned into pieces.

"Fuck, how did you do that?" Wang Hao was surprised.

"It absorbs the energy inside it. Without energy, it will break into pieces." Leng Yi said.

"How does it feel?" Yang Qing asked.

Leng Yi clenched his fists, "It seems to be stronger than before, it should be replenished."

“That’s great. Next time we meet them, we will dig out the crystal cores in their heads. Then, Leng Yi, won’t you be invincible? You will never run out of energy.” Wang Hao said excitedly.

Yang Qing nodded, "No one should know about this yet, we can quietly collect the crystal cores later."

"It's a pity that the dead catfish were eaten by their companions, otherwise we could go downstairs and dig out all the crystal cores."

Leng Yi shook his head, "It's too dangerous, let's talk about it later!"

In the second half of the night, the street gradually became quiet. I don’t know whether all the people on the street had been eaten or the catfish had gone back to rest, but in any case, there was no sound.

The next day, when everyone got up, they couldn't help vomiting when they saw the situation on the street.

There was blood everywhere, it had already solidified and the streets had turned dark red.

Broken limbs and arms were scattered all over the ground, and there were also corpses with only half of their bodies left. Some had their heads bitten off, and some looked like they had been half-eaten and spit out, covered in mucus, which was disgusting to look at.

The three major families all issued cleaning tasks, so Leng Yi took people to clean up the areas he was responsible for. He also counted the number of people and found that many people were missing. They should have been eaten last night.

Everyone was cleaning the street when suddenly a scream came from not far away, "Help!"

Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from, only to see chaos over there and many people running desperately towards this side.

"The monster is coming!"

"Run!"

Leng Yi was surprised. Did the catfish appear in broad daylight this time?

Yes, they have no vision at all, and it doesn't matter whether it is day or night.

After two attacks, they should have realized that there were far fewer people coming out at night than during the day, so they came now in broad daylight.

"Stop running!" Leng Yi shouted. Those catfish were so fast, how could he possibly outrun them?

"Everyone come around, those with super powers stay outside to protect those without super powers!" Leng Yi shouted loudly.

But at this time no one listened to him. Everyone was in a panic and ran around in all directions.

Soon someone was caught by the catfish and swallowed in one gulp.

"Everyone from District 3, come here, don't run around, you can't outrun them." Leng Yi shouted again. He couldn't protect everyone, but he could protect as many as his men could.

When someone heard Leng Yi's voice, they remembered that he was killing monsters downstairs last night. Maybe they could really survive by following him.

Soon, some people gathered around, and Wang Hao also shouted, "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Li, come here quickly!"

Several of them are urban management officers who work together and live in the urban management dormitory. They have developed feelings for each other after working together for so long.

Several people heard it and ran over.
