Chapter 305: Moved
After returning to the villa, everyone was so exhausted that they hardly had the energy to eat. They had never been as tired as they were today, not only physically drained but also having depleted their Special Abilities completely.
Luckily, Su Jin still had some Special Ability to use when they encountered that group earlier. Otherwise, they would have had to engage in “verbal jousting.”
However, tired as they were, they still needed to eat.
After everyone had washed up, Su Jin brought out various nutritious dishes from her space, as well as a large pot of steaming white rice.
“Su Jin, is it okay to not retrieve those plants?”
Liao Yifan expressed his concern. Since people wanted to snatch that fan, they might also covet those incredible Man-eating Flowers.
...“It’s okay, they will bite if attacked,”
Su Jin said with a smile.
Moreover, Xiao Cui was connected to her spiritually. If it were to be attacked, she would know immediately. Even if she couldn’t get there in time, should any Man-eating Flower be chopped down or moved, it would immediately revert to an ordinary Man-eating Flower. The only loss to her would be a seed.
Hearing Su Jin’s explanation, everyone felt relieved.At the same time, they also realized the importance of keeping a secret. If Su Jin’s space, which could preserve freshness and contained a lot of food, were to be discovered, nobody would be able to resist feeling envious. Therefore, they had to keep this secret closely guarded.
The food from the space not only satisfied everyone’s stomachs but also gradually restored their dried-up Special Abilities.
After distributing the Crystal Cores from the Mutated Zombies they had fought during the day, Su Jin sent everyone off to rest.
Guo Yang was also quite satisfied. He had obtained two Space Element Crystal Cores today.
The reason they knew the Zombies had Space Element Abilities was that those Zombies had actually conjured up tables, chairs, and stools out of thin air to hurl at them. One of the Space Element Zombies even threw a car, which appeared from nowhere, at them inside the barricade…
However, both Space Element Zombies were dealt with by Guo Yang, who was now eager to return to his secondary residence to absorb the Crystal Cores.
Seeing the door of the secondary residence tightly closed, everyone went back to their own rooms and then directly entered their spaces.
The grandparents in the space were relieved to see that everyone had returned safely.
Local Tyrant Gold had also been in the space these days, amusing the elders whenever they felt bored. Li Xiuying had even crafted many cute and delicate clothes for Local Tyrant Gold during her free time.
“It’s now the happiest monkey,”
Lin Xiuyuan said enviously as he watched Local Tyrant Gold, well-fed and well-dressed; no wonder it insisted on following Su Jin back then.
Mrs. Su Lin Tianhui seemed in high spirits as well. The number of casualties in the afternoon was noticeably lower than in the morning. Although this might be due to better cooperation among everyone, she believed that the Spatial Water played a role in this.
“Several severely injured people who were vomiting blood managed to pull through, and some who were injured by Zombie’s Special Abilities also passed the critical period. I think this well water is miraculous,”
Lin Tianhui shared the afternoon’s events with everyone. Those people had drunk the water she mixed with the well water, and with sufficient medicine, the mortality rate had been greatly reduced.
They didn’t talk for too long before each retreated to their rooms in the space to rest. They were incredibly fatigued from the continuous fighting throughout the day, even the energetic Mao Qiqi fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
Seeing Lu Hao, who had fallen asleep on the pillow, amused Su Jin. This was the first time she had seen Lu Hao like this. At this moment, because he was lying on his stomach, only half of his face with its prominent nose was visible.
She couldn’t resist poking Lu Hao’s cheek.
Quite elastic and not a bad touch at all.
Her gaze then fell on Lu Hao’s hand placed next to the pillow. Lu Hao’s hands were well-defined and slender, perhaps from often wielding the Tang Sword lately, with some hard calluses in the middle of his palms.
Su Jin lay on her side, running her fingers over those calluses, feeling her own eyelids getting heavier. Just as she was about to fall asleep, a large hand suddenly grasped her wrist.
She opened her eyes and found that Lu Hao had woken up at some point, his handsome face watching her from the side.
“Good night…”
After saying that, Su Jin turned her face away, feeling unable to sleep with him staring at her like that.
But then there was a rustling from behind, and Su Jin felt herself fall into a burning embrace.
“Xiao Jin, we have plenty of time here,”
…
In the dead of night inside the base, the howling of zombies outside the city gate set everyone’s hearts racing, and although many only heard those cries faintly, they still dared not easily fall asleep.
Liang Jiuhui lay in the tower under the blanket that Liang Jiuqing had brought him, getting ready to rest for a while; he was simply too tired. Even with the unceasing growls beneath the city wall, he soon fell asleep.
Ye Rongxin and others were commanding the night’s battle below the city walls, worried that the last remaining patch of territory within the enclosure might be occupied by zombies by the next day, so the guard squad members didn’t dare rest at night either.
Many special ability users who had fought in the morning had recovered in the afternoon and once again moved to the base of the city walls.
A wind element ability user angrily unleashed his abilities at the zombies in front of him, thinking of his teammate who had sacrificed himself to save him during the day, wishing he could kill a few more zombies to alleviate the sadness in his heart.
Before their abilities were exhausted, no one wanted to go back to rest.
Kill, these millions of zombies, someone will eventually kill them all.
Many space element ability users also took the initiative to clean up the area on their own, then threw the corpses down to the zombies beneath the city walls.
Ye Rongxin and his comrades had not thought that Su Jin’s family, who had gone back in the evening, would reappear beneath the city gate after midnight.
“You guys?”
Ye Rongxin, looking at the family members who were spirited and ready to take the field, hadn’t expected them to be willing to go this far for the base.
“Hello, I’m Ye Rongxin from the security team, thank you for your hard work,”
Without forgetting to introduce himself, Ye Rongxin sized up the group, noting that there seemed to be a few less people than there were during the day; it appeared that those individuals were worn out from the day’s efforts.
Although Su Jin’s family hadn’t spoken to Ye Rongxin, they were not unfamiliar with him; they had seen him last time at the entrance of the base, and after that, he was the one who dissolved the Baili Divine Team, leaving them with a rather favorable impression of him.
“We’ve rested enough, we can come support again,” Su Jin said.
The family members behind her nodded continuously; they had been in the space for almost 40 hours, which was more than enough. Before coming out, they had enjoyed a big meal and were now eager to digest it.
When they left the villa area, they didn’t disturb Guo Yang and the others sleeping in the secondary residence, given that only 4 hours had passed outside; they should still be asleep.
The workers at the city gate were deeply moved.
The bigwigs were really considering the base’s well-being!
Moreover, it was said that the Heart Talk Team and Heart Talk Convenience Store were originally the same team, and the convenience store had previously contributed so much braised eggs and rice to the base, which had already moved them.
Now, the Heart Talk Team had barely rested for a while before coming back to kill zombies again; they had to do their part as well!
“Cough, cough, then we’ll head over first,”
Ignoring the red eyes of the workers, Su Jin and her group walked straight out of the main gate.
