Chapter 642: Chapter 642: Work Hard to Earn Crystal Cores
"Understood, you guys wait just a moment, we will prepare the supplies,"
Lu Hao said, planning to place the supplies in the courtyard, which would also make it convenient for Su Jin, in her invisibility state, to take and place things there. The yardâs gate was tightly closed, and nothing inside could be seen from the outside.
Yao Rui nodded and sat down with a few people to start talking about the recent situation.
This time, Lin Tianhui acted as the Space Element Ability User, going to the yard with Huang Yunxiang and Su Xiangzhe, while Lu Hao stayed behind, as they knew Chen Daming was a Fire Element Ability User.
"After we finish selling here, we plan to head in the direction of H City to continue searching for supplies. I wonder if Miss Yao has any information about that area?"
Lu Hao tried to ask. Lin Cheng and the others immediately sat up straight, as they too were curious about the current situation in H City.
"You guys want to go to H City? Iâve heard that place is very dangerous, and many zombies we have here in D City have poured in from there,"
Yao Rui frowned and said. If possible, she did not recommend that they go to H City. Recently, some survivors who had fled from there mentioned that although there is a base near the center of the province capital of H Province, the situation is not very optimistic, and there are many high-level zombies that even attack the base stealthily.
"No wonder, H Province was the second most populous province before,"
Lin Yunguo sighed, realizing that the place they once lived had also fallen.
"However, Iâve heard that there are many supermarkets and stores there that havenât been scavenged yet. Our base has sent teams with Special Ability Users to venture out and try to gather some things, but theyâve lost contact,"
Yao Rui replied truthfully. Even if there were supplies, no one at the base dared to go now â that place was full of zombie nests!
"So many zombies? Then doesnât the base in H Province think of a solution?"
Lin Xiuyuan asked.
"That base... Iâve heard they are in severe shortage of supplies, and there are now cases of openly selling living people and human flesh at the base. We had some people from H Provinceâs base who escaped and came to our base a few days ago,"
The saying "eating oneâs own children when pushed to the extreme", breaking all moral boundaries, was evident. If D Cityâs base hadnât undergone that transformation and had people like Zhang Xiaohong and others, it probably wouldnât have been any better than H Provinceâs base.
"Weâre aware now, thank you,"
Lu Hao frowned. Things were already... that serious?
"If you really intend to go, I can have someone get in touch with those who escaped to find out some safer routes,"
Yao Rui looked at the now somewhat silent group and said, understanding that anyone hearing about such desperate acts wouldnât be in good spirits.
"Thank you, we do have plans to go,"
Lu Hao admitted frankly. So many stores havenât been touched? When they left H City back then, they had intentionally left some supermarkets untouched, also to leave a lifeline for the remaining survivors.
At this moment, Lin Tianhui walked over from the outside and said to the group, "Miss Yao, your supplies are ready. You can come over to check them first."
"That quickly?"
This time, Zhao Le, now a Space Element Ability User, had also followed. He was now a transporter for the base and was willing to serve Yao Rui, as long as he didnât have to go out to kill zombies every day.
"Yes, weâve recently collected supplies in large sacks, so itâs relatively easy to count them,"
Lin Tianhui said with a smile.
"May I ask your name? I donât yet know everyoneâs names,"
Yao Rui asked Lin Tianhui, whose appearance was very ordinary, but the tenderness and smile in her eyes reminded her of Zhang Xiaohong.
"Miss Yao, I am Zhang Xiaohongâs mother, Ruo Qingyun,"
Lin Tianhui said with flushed cheeks, having taken a while to come up with the name.
"So you are Auntie Ruo, your name is very nice,"
No wonder she always felt her eyes resembled Zhang Xiaohongâsâit turned out she was Xiaohongâs mother. Yao Ruiâs gaze towards Lin Tianhui became even more eager.
Zhao Le tilted his head from behind, wondering if there was actually a surname such as "Ruo".
Su Xiangzhe held back a laugh, his own wife had come up with this poetic and picturesque name, so he couldnât say much. Ruo Qingyun it was then.
In the courtyard, the materials were neatly arranged, and Yao Rui gave Lin Tianhui a thumbs upâlike mother, like daughter, both had the same orderly way of placing things.
"No need to count anymore, Zhao Le, pack them up,"
Yao Rui could tell at a glance that the volume of these materials would not be less than two million Crystal Cores, perhaps even more.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, now my space is going to be completely filled up, lucky that I cleared it out before heading out,"
Zhao Le started to load the piles of materials into his space; Zhang Xiaohongâs mother was impressive indeed, bringing out so many things in just a short while. It would take him quite some time to collect it all.
Outside the villa, the road had already been blocked by people arranged by Yao Rui; everyone in the base knew that Chen Daming and the others lived here. If they hadnât blocked the way, the front door would probably have been knocked down by now.
"For the next few days, I will arrange for people to guard here to control the flow of guests,"
Yao Rui said.
"Thank you for that. Also, our team already has a name, and you can stop referring to us as Chen Daming and company,"
Lu Hao said while looking at Lin Xiuyuan, better to let him introduce their teamâs name; he felt a bit tongue-tied.
"Really? Whatâs the name of your team?"
Yao Rui asked with interest.
"Haha, Miss Yao, my name is Long Aotian, and this is my elder brother, Long Xiongba. Our teamâs name is Dragon Ruler. How about that? Majestic, isnât it?"
Lin Xiuyuan introduced with pride.
"..."
Lu Hao felt that the scene went silent for a few seconds; Yao Rui, too, seemed to be stunned by these names, and even Zhao Le, who was seriously collecting materials, looked at Lin Xiuyuan with a peculiar gaze.
Are these people alright?
How could each name be more...creative?
"Extremely majestic,"
Yao Rui answered, smiling. Dragon Ruler was quite fitting for people like them who roamed all over.
"Right? I think so, too,"
Nie Qing said contentedly.
"..."
Lu Hao shook his head; this family was hopeless at naming.
In the space, Su Jinâs heart bloomed as she looked at the newly acquired two million Crystal Cores and couldnât help but think about an issueâshould the space be upgraded now?
Now, with more than six million Crystal Cores in space, she should be able to upgrade it another level, which would also enlarge the Spirit Field area. Who knows, maybe it could even develop a new function?
No time like the present, Su Jin decided to start the space upgrade that very night after the whole family came in.
Thinking of the Crystal Cores that had just come into her hands about to be devoured by the space, Su Jin felt a pang of heartache. Lu Hao had said, they not only had to save up Crystal Cores for upgrading the space but also for the ongoing consumption of the space in the future.
After all... they now had a child, and if this space could be left for the child to use later on, it would be perfect.
So, for the sake of the future, keep on earning those Crystal Cores!
