End of the World Cycle

The route to Kyoto City passes by an arsenal, and Xie Qin was willing to take this ride. After all, this RV is much better than his modified fire truck.

It's not that Xie Qin had never seen such vehicles in the system mall, but these vehicles were extremely expensive, basically costing tens of millions of points each. It's not that Xie Qin didn't have points, but she was afraid that when a natural disaster came, her base would not be able to be upgraded to level four, and she would have to spend billions of points to buy a defense system.

So Xie Qin was extra frugal, trying not to spend points if possible, and slowly accumulating points bit by bit.

Xie Qin was arranged to stay in a small room on the second floor. Shui Liqing was next door. Although the room was not big, it was very warm and had an independent bathroom. It was very clean.

The two cars have the same size on one floor, two rooms with a simple layout, and a study right above the driving position.

She had never been to the lower floor where Ning Cheng lived, but judging from the layout, the bedroom below should be two rooms of this size combined. The remaining space was the living room, dining room and driving position.

This RV can be said to be very large. It is a mobile three-bedroom, one-living room vehicle that can also drive automatically. It can be said to be a must-have RV for long-distance travel.

However, this RV seemed to be much better than the ones sold in Xie Qin's system. Therefore, Xie Qin and Xiao Bao inferred that Ning Cheng's system level was higher than Xie Qin's.

We were on the road all the time, without stopping for an afternoon and a night, and we entered the Yuchuan area very smoothly. Gradually, we could see the mountains not covered by snow, and the terrain began to change.

The next morning, the three of them sat at the dining table. Xie Qin specifically said that she had a small appetite, so Ning Cheng didn't bring her much. They were all small dishes of Hong Kong-style breakfast, which looked very exquisite.

The taste was also impeccable. Even someone like Xie Qin who was not very fond of food felt a little greedy. You can imagine how comfortable Ning Cheng's life was.

But when he noticed Ning Cheng, he saw her bringing out a large bowl of processed corpse crystals from her space. Xie Qin was puzzled. Obviously, the supernatural capsules were more practical and easier to absorb, and the price difference was huge. Why didn't Ning Cheng change?

[Xiaobao? Why doesn't Ning Cheng change the capsule? ]

[Master~ Different systems have different tasks, and the items sold in the mall are also different. Because I am a professional apocalypse system, there will be a specific apocalypse product page that specializes in selling items related to the apocalypse. Other systems will not have this. ]

[No wonder.]

Xie Qin looked at Ning Cheng with understanding. Her current ability was only at level three, and she could only rely on corpse crystals to slowly upgrade. However, Ning Cheng was a healing ability user, and after many experiments by Xie Qin, it turned out that zombie crystals were useless to healing abilities. How could it be useful to Ning Cheng?

"This is zombie crystal." Ning Cheng said when she saw Xie Qin watching her eat.

"Ah? Why is sister eating this?" Xie Qin asked with a frown.

"I don't want to eat it either, but this thing can enhance my superpowers. I just eat too much and I don't have any extra appetite to eat other delicious food every day." Ning Cheng sighed.

Xie Qin noticed that the bowl was full of third-order corpse crystals. It was not easy to find third-order corpse crystals at this time. It was conceivable how powerful Ning Cheng was, or how powerful Ning Cheng's system was.

There was also a space with spiritual springs, where living things and even humans could live. She couldn't believe how cheerful a little girl she would be if she had that space.

But she understood that the spiritual spring space that belonged to an owner would only disappear with the owner's death, and no one else could get it. Otherwise, based on Xie Qin's personality, she would definitely try every means to attack Ning Cheng.

"But you are so awesome, sister." Xie Qin smiled with curved eyebrows.

Ning Cheng just thought the little girl in front of him was adorable and couldn't help but rub Xie Qin's hair. Xie Qin instantly got goose bumps. She seemed to hate others rubbing her hair, but she still endured the discomfort and tilted her head obediently.

"Qinqin, you are very cute too."

"Huh!" Shui Liqing, who had been sitting in the passenger seat, groaned, and the two of them looked up ahead. It was a very wide mountain range, and although it was covered with snow, the RV was traveling along the pre-apocalyptic highway.

This mountain was originally passed through by a tunnel, but now the tunnel has been buried and there is an elevated road underneath. There is only one road. The current situation is that one can either go back a long way and find a way to go around it, or climb the mountain.

It was just not realistic to drive such a large RV up there. After a while, Ning Cheng was already looking at the mountain with a tablet.

"This mountain is not very high. It will only take us two or three hours to walk there. After we pass it, we will not take this road anymore. This road used to be a highway with many tunnels and viaducts. We will take the lower route, so we don't have to walk even if it takes a detour."

"Okay. I'll listen to you, sister."

"So good." Fortunately, they were not too close to each other, otherwise, hearing Ning Cheng's tone, she would want to touch her head again.

Xie Qin put on her coat and prepared to follow Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng looked at Xie Qin who was wrapped up thickly and realized that it was minus 60 degrees Celsius outside. At this temperature, an ordinary girl would definitely get frostbite.

"Wait a moment, I'll get you some clothes."

"No need, sister. My brother can hold me up."

"No, this dress is different from ordinary ones." Ning Cheng walked in front of Xie Qin, raised his hand, passed over Xie Qin's head and gestured on his chest.

"A 150-foot-tall person should be able to wear it. No, I'd better get something slightly bigger so that I can wear it when I grow taller. A 160-foot-tall person should be fine."

As he spoke, a set of black leather tights appeared in Ning Cheng's hands. The material was the same as the one Ning Cheng was wearing, and it could cover both his hands and feet.

The clothes were not thick, but they had a layer inside. Inside the layer was a very soft silver thread. Xie Qin didn't know what this thing was. He took it in his hand and asked Xiao Bao to quickly scan it. After it was confirmed to be safe, Xie Qin returned to the room and changed into it.

There are buttons on the back of both hands, which can control the temperature by yourself, between 20-30 degrees, and after adjustment, the temperature of the place covered by the clothes will not change due to the outside temperature. It is just a little long, but it does not affect wearing.

This thing is not available in Xie Qin's system mall. It is probably something from the high-end system mall. It is indeed a good thing.

After putting on this, Xie Qin still put on a coat and pants outside. She really couldn't appreciate such tight clothes and pants. Once she put on such clothes, her figure was fully exposed. She didn't like this kind of dress even though she was young.

After going downstairs, Ning Cheng made sure Xie Qin was dressed, took a spray in his hand, and sprayed it at Xie Qin's little face, but Xie Qin quickly dodged it.

Even Ning Cheng was startled.

"You... you react pretty quickly. Don't be nervous. This is called temperature-maintaining spray. After you spray it on, your face can maintain the current temperature for three hours. You don't have to worry about frostbite."

"Oh, yes, I'm sorry, sister. I've encountered too many dangerous things, and it has become a conditioned reflex."

"I understand. Come here. I'll spray you."

"Thank you, sister." While speaking, Xiao Bao had already scanned the bottle of spray and confirmed it was safe. Xie Qin walked obediently in front of Ning Cheng.

The spray was not very big, and after spraying it, Ning Cheng gave it directly to Xie Qin, asking her to replenish it in time. Xie Qin did not refuse, she planned to study this thing, after all, her system mall did not have it.

After going out, looking at the tall mountains, Xie Qin was about to lift her feet to walk, but suddenly she felt weightless, and was held in Shui Liqing's arms again. Xie Qin wanted to walk by herself, but now she thought that her character was just an ordinary person who was weak and couldn't take care of herself, so she decided to let Shui Liqing hold her.

If I could really climb over such a high snow mountain normally, even a fool would be skeptical.

"Okay, let's go."

Xie Qin lay on Shui Liqing's back, closed his eyes, and his mind had already entered the space station. In the space station, the small fort flapped its wings and flew next to the map on the table.

Xie Qin looked at the four military supply depots mentioned by Guo Dongkang. The largest one was at the junction of Yuchuan and Xiangbei, only 40 kilometers away from their current location.

If they go underground, they won't encounter this situation again. Now should be the best time to leave.

The snowstorm was not strong, but it blurred the vision. Xie Qin half-opened his eyes and released his fourth-order mental power. It was instantly captured by Ning Cheng's system.

"Don't move, something's happening." Ning Cheng stopped quickly.

Immediately afterwards, all the movable zombies around rushed in this direction, and one after another crawled out of the snow. Only then did they realize that there were many zombies buried in the snow piles under their feet.

"Remember to pretend to be in pain later and hold me and roll down the mountain." Xie Qin whispered in Shui Liqing's ear.

Instantly, Ning Cheng was suppressed by the fourth-order mental power, and felt that his head was about to split. He could not hold on and knelt on one knee. Seeing this, Xie Qin also began to pretend to be uncomfortable and patted Shui Liqing on the shoulder. Shui Liqing immediately understood and imitated Ning Cheng's uncomfortable look and fell to the ground. He took Xie Qin into his arms and was about to roll down the mountain when Ning Cheng, who was holding on, grabbed his hand.

Xie Qin felt as if he was weightless, and everything in front of him went dark. When he could see things clearly again, he was already in an unfamiliar place.

Ning Cheng had fallen to the ground in agony and fainted. Blood was oozing out of his ears. Xie Qin had thought that his mental strength was strong, but he had never thought it was this strong.

Xie Qin had never thought of hurting Ning Cheng. She thought Ning Cheng's ability to withstand pressure should be good, so she used almost half of her mental power to suppress Ning Cheng so that she could not react and pay attention to them. Unexpectedly, this person could not withstand her mental power at all.

Looking at Ning Cheng who had fainted on the ground, and then looking at the unfamiliar environment around him, Xie Qin could only ask Xiao Bao for information.

【Xiaobao, what is this place? 】

[Master, please wait a moment. Xiaobao is searching for you. Beep, beep. Reporting to the master~ This is Ning Cheng's Lingquan space.]

[Is this the Lingquan space? Where is the Lingquan? ]

【It is on your right, 300 meters ahead, behind the hill. 】

Xie Qin looked to his right, and saw a green meadow, and a small hill in the distance. There were colorful flowers growing on the hill, which was very beautiful.

It was like spring inside. It was empty except for a small wooden house about 50 meters to the left. There was a small yard outside the wooden house, and there were flowers in the yard. There were no tall vegetation, more like grassland. Like a grassland with hills.

[Is there any surveillance here? ]

[Retrieving... Beep beep~ Reporting to the owner~ The power system has not been established here, and there is no monitoring. ]

After hearing what Xiaobao said, Xie Qin felt relieved. Although she could not get this kind of spiritual spring space, she really wanted to study the spiritual spring water.

"Take her into the house."

After Xie Qin said this, Shui Liqing grabbed Ning Cheng's waist, held him under his armpits, and ran quickly towards the cabin. Xie Qin looked at Shui Liqing's actions and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Really... Not gentlemanly at all...

After Xie Qin followed, they went into the house. As expected, the house was decorated. It was very small and only had space for a bed, a set of tables and chairs, and a dressing table. There was nothing else.

After putting Ning Cheng on the bed, Xie Qin and Shui Liqing left and went behind the hill.

After crossing the hill, the scene in front of us changed again. There was a spring at the foot of the hill, similar to the pools in the mountains, the water was gushing upwards, and the surrounding vegetation was taller than the grass.

There were many small basins placed next to the spring, each filled with corpse crystals. Xie Qin finally understood why zombie crystals were useful to Ning Cheng, who was a healer. The secret was in this spiritual spring.

Xie Qin did not touch Ning Cheng's corpse crystal, but found many sealed water storage devices from her own space. As time passed, the water containers Xie Qin found were full. She didn't know how much was in them, but the water in the spiritual spring was visibly decreasing. And it didn't increase anymore.

This place might only come once in a lifetime, and she herself admitted that she was not a good person. Without hesitation, Xie Qin decided to go all out and built a water tank in the space using the plastic film for building greenhouses and the remaining containers according to the remaining water.

That's right, Xie Qin drained Ning Cheng's spiritual spring. Xie Qin didn't count carefully, but there should be two tons of spiritual spring water. The next second, Xie Qin began to use his water power to fill the spiritual spring. It took three hours for Xie Qin to fill the spiritual spring with water while taking the power recovery capsule.

She didn't know the principle of the spiritual spring, and the purpose of doing this was just to prevent Ning Cheng from suspecting her. Looking at the small pool that seemed to have returned to its original state, Xie Qin shrugged helplessly.

I just thought to myself, am I a bad person? Of course not, she just has a bad character.

After doing all this, the two returned to the wooden house. Ning Cheng was still asleep.

[Xiaobao, she shouldn't know through the system that it was me who did it, right? ]

[Of course not. Our system is connected to the host's brain nerves. Ning Cheng fainted, her brain nerves stopped working, and her system was equivalent to a crash. She didn't know what happened during this period.]

【That's good. 】
