Full and satisfied, Su Ling slumped onto a chair, too tired to move.
Li Yunlong brought ten crystal cores and placed them on the table in front of her.
Su Ling looked at the crystal cores on the table, recognizing that Li Yunlong had chosen the best quality ones for her.
She reached out, gathering the crystal cores into her hand without hesitation.
After collecting the crystal cores, Su Ling looked at Li Yunlong. "These crystal cores are good stuff. Keep them safe and don't throw them away. They will be the circulating currency in the doomsday world. Also, when your abilities are depleted, absorbing them will restore some of your powers."
In short, crystal cores were useful for both currency and energy replenishment.
Li Yunlong nodded at Su Ling and put away the remaining crystal cores.
Su Ling was in a good mood. Her crystal core collection had been steadily increasing, bringing her one step closer to building her mobile fortress.
Thinking of this, Su Ling added, "There's medicine in that black bag. Your girlfriend will need it."
"Thank you," Li Yunlong and Zhang Miaomiao thanked Su Ling simultaneously.
Jiang Jiang proactively offered to wash the dishes. The others were utterly exhausted and didn't compete with him.
Su Ling stood up and walked to the rooftop railing, gazing at the pouring rain, unsure how long it would last.
She knew, however, that the zombies had indeed changed after being baptized by the heavy rain.
At the very least, their speed, reaction time, and agility had improved.
But they hadn't reached the level she remembered from her previous life before she left. The specifics would only become clear after this downpour stopped.
Some things were different and deviated from her past experiences, and Su Ling worried that Sister Na and Hanhan might arrive during the heavy rain.
Not wanting to put too much pressure on herself, Su Ling observed for a while with binoculars. Confirming that there was nothing unusual, she turned and walked towards the tent.
She hadn't slept well last night, woke up early, and had endured a morning of fighting. She desperately needed to sleep and recover.
Entering the tent, Su Ling lay down and fell asleep within a second.
The others also retreated to their tents to sleep.
Gu Shangse had gone downstairs to shower; he was soaked.
After Jiang Jiang finished showering, Xu Lin took his people to his tent, sharing it with them.
And as Gu Shangse returned to the rooftop and went to sleep in his tent, someone arrived at the entrance of their department store building.
A Range Rover stopped at the entrance of the department store. A woman with a high ponytail, wearing a leather jacket and jeans, got out of the driver's seat. She carried a backpack stuffed full, bulging on both sides with a spiked club and a nail-studded stick.
The woman went to the back seat and gently woke the little boy sleeping with a stuffed toy. "Baby, we're here."
As the woman spoke, the sleeping boy opened his groggy eyes, his chubby little hands rubbing them as he looked at her.
The woman picked up the little boy and, with a bang, slammed the car door shut.
Unfortunately, Su Ling had already left the rooftop. If she had waited a little longer, she would have had an unexpected gain.
The woman and the little boy were precisely Sister Na and Hanhan, whom Su Ling had been waiting for.
Sister Na hugged Hanhan and looked at the main entrance of the department store. Regardless of whether it was a dragon's den or a tiger's lair inside, she and her son had to find shelter here today.
The car's fuel was almost depleted, and the rain was too heavy, making visibility too low. Driving in the rain was very unsafe.
Taking a deep breath, Sister Na, holding Hanhan in one arm and the spiked club in the other, walked towards the department store.
Meanwhile.
On the third floor of the department store.
Liu Yang ran up from downstairs. He looked at Wang Qiang, who was being pampered by Jiang Zhimin and Jiaojiao, and swallowed, suppressing the envy in his eyes. "Brother Qiang, someone's here. A mother and son. They have a Range Rover, and the woman is quite attractive."
