End of the World Cycle

Because Tang Dingshan and his friends went up the mountain and opened up the mountain road, although my mother was driving a light truck RV, she had good driving skills and just passed the mountain road without wasting much time.

It was just that the road conditions on the way to Furong City were bad, and it took a long detour and a full day to reach the place where we had hunted before. There were even more zombies around, but fortunately my brother had a strong mental power and could control all the zombies in an instant. Xie Qin and Liu Bo held iron bars and cleared the zombies on the road like playing baseball.

Although Zhang Mingfang was afraid, she suppressed her fear and drove seriously in order not to cause trouble to her children. Zhou Lili was different. She had followed several superpowers from the previous base and had seen them kill zombies, but they were not as brave as Xie Qin and the others. So she was not afraid anymore and sat on the sofa calmly, holding Xie Ran.

The RV slowly drove into the underground garage and stopped next to the escape passage, just blocking the door. I opened the door and saw that the escape passage was intact, so I knew that this road was still safe.

Xie Qin asked everyone to carry the things they needed upstairs, and they ran back and forth seven or eight times, and put all the things on the ninth floor. Xie Qin calculated that if he moved to a new floor a week, he would be on the ninth floor after a month, and then he would go back to Lijia Town to replenish the supplies.

The large flat on the ninth floor, about 300 square meters, also uses central air conditioning. Fortunately, there is a sun room on each floor. The 80 solar panels I brought covered the entire sun room, nearly 40 square meters. After calculating the power, I found that there is sufficient sunlight now, with about 13 hours of sunshine a day. One square meter can generate about 2 degrees of electricity. 80 degrees of electricity is enough to supply air conditioning normally, so Xie Qin pulled a line to the fifth floor and installed an air conditioner in the living room on the fifth floor. He also filled all the containers on the ninth floor that could hold water with water.

After doing all this, Xie Qin took the tools and called Liu Bo to go down to the fifth floor to start collecting corpse crystals. But his brother in the wheelchair held his hand.

"Sister, I'll go with you."

"Be good and listen to what you say to me, Teacher Zhou. I'll be back at 5:30."

“Sister, take some of your mental power and go, so that when you get tired you can control those zombies and take a rest.”

"It's okay, sister can kill him." Xie Qin smiled and rubbed the top of her brother's head.

"Sister~Please, just take a little bit. I can eat more to make up for it. It won't affect me."

Xie Qin was stunned for a moment. She had never thought of using her brother and Uncle Liu Bo as carriers to enhance her mental and strength abilities, for fear of affecting their bodies. After all, she had sucked two people to death with her own hands.

"Sister, give it a try." Seeing her sister hesitate, Xie Ran said coquettishly.

Xie Qin looked at her brother. She roughly knew that her abilities could only be absorbed by three types. She could not rely on corpse crystals to advance, and could only rely on absorbing other people's abilities. And they could only be spiritual, strength, and water.

There are few superpowers in this world and they are of various types. It is even more difficult to find three superpowers in it. It only took her one minute and ten seconds to drain a first-level water superpower. Her brother is now close to the third level. Xie Qin raised her hand carefully and covered her brother's head.

(5.4.3.2.1.) Xie Qin counted silently for five seconds and quickly opened his hand.

"Ran Ran, what do you feel?"

"I didn't feel anything, just a little flustered and my head was a little numb, but I didn't feel anything after you took your hand away."

Xie Qin understood. If she absorbed a small amount like this each time and then replenished it with corpse crystals in time, she could also indirectly obtain the energy of the corpse crystals.

Xie Qin also tried the same method on Liu Bo, and the result was the same, five seconds had no effect on their bodies.

She planned to slowly experiment, replenishing corpse crystals in time, every two days, increasing the time by one second each time, to find a limit that could be absorbed without harming the body.

Xie Qin and Liu Bo went to the fifth floor and started the second round of hunting with the same method. The sound of the axe chopping the security door had already attracted the zombies to knock on the door. Xie Qin used his mental power to slow down the movement of the zombies at the door. He quickly dug out the hole.

The highest temperature outside can reach 48 degrees now, and the temperature is rising every day. With two air-conditioning fans running at the same time, the temperature inside quickly dropped to 37 degrees. Although it is still hot, it is like heaven compared to the outside.

After a busy morning, the west escape door was knocked. The door was broken by them. The person who came in was Zhou Lili. Zhou Lili was carrying a plate full of food. As soon as she came over, she was frightened by the zombies on the ground that had not been thrown away yet, and the zombies that were desperately trying to get in. Seeing these disgusting things at such a close distance, she felt sour in her stomach because she hadn't eaten yet. She suppressed her nausea and spoke.

"Xie Qin, why don't you guys go upstairs and eat?"

"Put it here, Teacher Zhou. It's okay. You can go up too." Xie Qin didn't care and pointed to the dining table beside him to signal him to put it down.

"Yeah." Zhou Lili put down her things and left obediently without staying for long.

He took a look at the food on the table: sour radish and old duck soup, stir-fried bean sprouts, and fragrant rice. One meat and one vegetable, but the smell of the sour and fragrant duck soup instantly whetted his appetite. Especially Liu Bo forgot to work when he saw the delicious food. Xie Qin blocked the hole and called Liu Bo to eat together.

The golden duck soup, although made of frozen duck and old pickled cabbage, was cooked by Zhou Lili to be fresh, sour and spicy, and went very well with rice. The bean sprouts were also stir-fried to be tender and delicious. Knowing that the two of them had big appetites, Zhou Lili filled three bowls with rice. The two of them ate until they were full, rested for half an hour, and then continued to work.

On the first day, the two of them took nearly two hundred corpse crystals. Back on the ninth floor, Xie Qin couldn't believe his eyes. The room was clean and tidy, spotless. The beautiful decoration style did not show any influence of the end of the world after cleaning.

My younger brother was sitting on the sofa, practicing writing Chinese characters seriously. My mother was hanging clothes on the balcony, and Zhou Lili was cooking dinner in the kitchen. The insulation effect of the house was very good, and the temperature inside was at most 27 or 28 degrees. Xie Qin felt very comfortable as soon as she came in.

"Are you back? Go and run some water to take a shower. After you change your clothes, we'll have dinner. Sister Zhang and I used the water you left behind during the day to clean up."

"Yeah. OK. What about the room? How is it arranged?"

"There are only three bedrooms. Ranran said she wanted to sleep with Liu Bo. They can sleep in one room, Sister Zhang and I can sleep in one room, and you can sleep in one room. Is that okay?"

"can."

"Then your room is at the end of the corridor. The bed sheets and quilt covers have been changed for you. Your clothes have also been sorted and hung in the closet."

"Okay, thank you." Xie Qin thanked him from the bottom of her heart. Teacher Zhou's attentiveness was really impeccable. She knew very well that Teacher Zhou just wanted her to see her own value. She treated this as a job to survive and had no intention of opening her heart to him. But Xie Qin was already satisfied. After all, she couldn't give her heart to such a smart and scheming person.

He filled all the water-holding objects in the house with water, handed the corpse crystal to Zhou Lili, and told her how to soak and clean it. Then he went to take a bath.

Although Zhou Lili looked confused, she still cleaned the corpse crystals according to Xie Qin's instructions. She knew that these things were made from the bodies of zombies, but she didn't know how they were made, and she wouldn't ask.

On the other side, Xie Qin was taking a shower. It wasn't that she trusted Zhou Lili, but she had no way to spread the method of purifying corpse crystals, and it was even more impossible for her to leave this place without her own protection. She also knew that Zhou Lili understood this. With one more person to help her, her life would only become easier.

Moreover, after half a year, this will no longer be a secret. Although the method is not popular, all the psychics who are officially counted will know the method announced by the research institute.

Over the next month, as the number of zombies decreased, the income from corpse crystals was not much. The corpses of zombies filled the entire community.

The pile of corpses downstairs also reached the seventh floor. At this time, they were not too safe living on the ninth floor. There were only a dozen zombies wandering around, and Xie Qin didn't care about them at all. In a month, including the corpse crystals eaten and the remaining ones, there were almost 5,000.

The dry season had been over for almost four months. The temperature outside had already reached 55 degrees. The intense heat was drying up the bodies all over the neighborhood, and even with the doors and windows closed, one could still smell the stench.

Xie Qin was going to change positions. He had to go back to Lijia Town to replenish a truckload of supplies. Before leaving, Xie Qin took people to a nearby warehouse supermarket. Because of Xie Qin's hunting during this period, there were almost no zombies around. The few that were scattered were also dealt with. After Xie Ran made sure that the surroundings were safe, everyone got off the car except Xie Ran.

There were traces of looting everywhere, but most of it was scattered on the ground, covered with black blood. It seemed that many people came here to look for supplies after the rainy season, and many of them were infected with the zombie virus.

"It's very safe here. After you go in, search around and take away everything you can use. Especially food, as long as it hasn't been soaked in water, take it away. Mom, you go with Uncle Liu Bo, don't go too far away. I'll go with Teacher Zhou. No matter how much you find, gather on the second floor in an hour."

"OK, all right."

Zhang Mingfang and Liu Bo searched in the grain, oil and seasoning area on the first floor, while Xie Qin took Zhou Lili to the electrical appliance area on the fourth floor. Xie Qin looked carefully and found that it was the rainy season and the tide was high, so the water only flooded the windows on the third floor. The electrical appliances on the fourth floor should be intact.

When we got to the fourth floor, it was indeed intact except for the dust. No one had been here before. Xie Qin took four carts and gave two to Zhou Lili.

"Go find something to keep warm, take whatever you can, and meet here in half an hour."

"Okay." Zhou Lili didn't ask any more questions and pushed the cart towards the electrical appliances. Xie Qin pushed the cart in the opposite direction. That was where mobile phones and computers were sold.

After the natural disaster, the world lost its order and leader. Powerful superpowers organized themselves to build bases. Each base operated independently, and many scientific and technical personnel were lured or robbed. The first base was the most powerful.

The First Base was the first base to be built. No one had ever heard of the head of the base before the end of the world. He was only said to be a fan of the end of the world and built the fortress of the end of the world in advance. In his thirties, he awakened a rare thunder power. He was brave, resourceful, and generous. He had mercenaries that he bought with his own money. The loyalty was extremely high, and nearly one-third of the soldiers had awakened their powers. In the early days of the end of the world, before the male and female protagonists grew up, the place where the First Base was located and even the surrounding area were like a paradise.

The First Base is also the only base that accommodates and manages people without distinction, and is naturally the first choice for the evacuation of various scientific research teams. Therefore, the First Base is the first base to restore communications, electricity, and the Internet after the end of the world. By then, as long as you enter the First Base, mobile phones and computers will become the most scarce items.

There are a lot of contribution points that can be exchanged. If you collect enough, you can open a mobile phone store in the base.

After prying open the warehouse and counters, we didn't find many mobile phones. There were all major brands, but there were only two or three of each model, and only four or five of the more popular ones. It took more than ten minutes to search the area. We only found more than 80 mobile phones, two desktop computers with the highest configuration, and more than 30 laptops.

The car couldn't fit everything, so Xie Qin took two oversized woven bags and put everything in them and carried them on his shoulders. Seeing that there was still time, Xie Qin went back to the car and put the things away. Then he returned to the third floor. When he arrived, Zhou Lili had just arrived.

Zhou Lili installed four heaters and a cooking machine. Some small kitchen tools for cooking. Four electric blankets. Just enough to fill up two large shopping carts.

"It was summer when the rainy season came, and there was nothing here for heating. This heater was only there because it can blow cold air. I found the electric blanket in the warehouse. I also took some other things that can be used for cooking." Zhou Lili explained.

"Yeah. It's okay. Let's go to the third floor and see if there are any clothes we can use."

The two came to the third floor, which was half flooded. The clothes hanging there were not damaged. Some dark-colored clothes were not affected much even if they were soaked in water. The two found a lot of clothes, pants, shoes and socks according to the sizes of their family members. They were all summer clothes, so they would not be of much use when the cold wave came.

Fortunately, Xie Qin saw a row of outdoor mountaineering clothing on the east side.

"You collect here, and I'll go over there and take a look."

"it is good."

Xie Qin went there by herself. She bought a black jacket of very good quality, hiking shoes, and all the clothes. She almost emptied the store. There were all sizes. Xie Qin was so focused on packing that he didn't notice Zhou Lili approaching him.

When I turned around, I saw Zhou Lili holding some very beautiful white dresses.

"Luckily these were hung high, so I dusted them off and they're still in great condition. I'll wash them when I get home and they'll be your size."

"If you can't wear them, don't take them." Xie Qin frowned, thinking that these skirts were flashy and useless. She didn't want to take them at all.

"You are very pretty, especially your watery eyes. Although you are tanned, you look like a weak little girl. You are very capable, but there are always people better than you. You have to learn to disguise yourself. The most suitable role for you is a harmless little girl."

Xie Qin was stunned. She had too little experience in this world. What Zhou Lili said was exactly what she had experienced. Play a role that is most beneficial to herself.

"Thank you." Xie Qin took the beautiful dresses. Indeed, if you want to live safely in this world, you have to play a role that is most beneficial to yourself.

"Should I find you a few more longer ones? You still need to grow taller, don't you?"

"Okay." Xie Qin did not refuse.

An hour later, the two men reached the second floor, pushing four carts and carrying several large woven bags on their shoulders.
