Chapter 115 Jiang Yue Seeks Praise
Xian Wenrui rarely agreed with Fan Jian's words, "Actually, I think those mutated centipedes and mutated wild boars were quite delicious, with good flavor."
The meat of these strange beasts tastes more delicious than ordinary food because it contains supernatural abilities.
There was still a lot of food in the base's warehouse, but it was all pre-apocalyptic stockpiles that had been frozen in the freezer, so the taste wasn't as good as the meat of these freshly killed alien beasts.
"After you finish eating, remember to digest the supernatural energy inside, then absorb the crystal core to increase your supernatural energy level as soon as possible," Lu Yize reminded the group who were eating with their mouths full of oil.
Xian Wenrui sighed. These peaceful days wouldn't last long. Soon they would have to face the mutated beasts in the seabed and the hordes of alien beasts that were constantly advancing in their direction.
Thinking about it this way, his appetite shrank, and he could only barely manage to eat two mutated shrimp.
Since these people awakened their superpowers, even the thinnest one, Sheng Xue, has been able to eat half a grilled shrimp that is several meters long by herself.
Not to mention Jiang Yue and Xiao Bai, who are already in the second stage. Xiao Bai, in particular, is a mutated dog, and its size is a hundred times larger than before, and its appetite has also expanded accordingly.
No wonder Chen Mingzhang's men often have to go out hunting and scavenging for supplies; supporting so many superhumans is not something that can be done casually.
The group, along with the corpse and the dog, ate a total of thirteen mutated krill. Little White didn't even waste the shrimp shells and heads that they didn't eat, picking them up and biting them directly into its mouth.
Despite having a poor appetite, Xian Wenrui, who ate the most, scratched his head slightly awkwardly. "I must say, these shrimp are quite delicious. I was thinking that dozens of shrimp would take up too much space, but now... they're being used up pretty quickly."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenjing wiped her greasy mouth and said, "I thought I was the only one who hadn't eaten enough, but it turns out everyone else was eating too little."
Fan Jian touched his belly, which looked like he was ten months pregnant. "Isn't it because I was worried there wouldn't be enough food in the warehouse?"
"Besides, we don't feel hungry when we absorb crystal cores, but we always feel like something is missing when we don't eat."
Lu Yize suffered enough in the apocalypse in his previous life, so he had little desire for food. He always absorbed the supernatural power within the crystal core to maintain his life.
He had given the key to the freezer to Xian Wenrui and then left it alone, never expecting that they hadn't been able to eat freely before.
Although Lu Yize doesn't need to eat himself, he doesn't mistreat others.
"The food in the warehouse is enough for the few of us to eat for decades. If it's not enough, there are plenty of mutated beasts outside the base. There's no need to be stingy with ourselves."
"Brother Lu!! You're my own brother!" If Fan Jian hadn't been so full, he would have definitely gotten up and kowtowed a few times.
Lu Yize ignored him, saying, "Krill usually appear in groups, so there's no need to deal with them individually. However, their abilities are reduced after they come ashore, so you can take them down one by one."
Thinking of the swarm of krill that had gathered earlier, Sheng Xue asked in confusion, "Since these marine creatures' abilities decrease after leaving the water, why do they bother to climb up?"
Zhang Wenjing took out her daily record book and drew a few lines on it: "They would rather go ashore in extreme weather for the following reasons."
"First, because the underwater environment cannot meet their survival needs, such as food shortages, they come to land to forage for food, which, simply put, means eating people."
"The second possibility is that it was to conduct reconnaissance and understand the situation on land in preparation for a large-scale invasion of marine life."
She paused for a moment, then turned to a new page. "Of course, there's a third possibility: they're looking for something."
Her words immediately drew everyone's attention. Fan Jian asked with slight urgency, "Looking for what? Don't keep me in suspense."
"I don't know. I just saw the tracks in the snow outside and realized that they weren't randomly scavenging everywhere, but rather acting in an organized and purposeful manner according to orders."
"Besides that, I can also use my special ability to see what they are searching for. I don't know exactly what it is, or rather, even they themselves don't know."
"You're talking nonsense. It's like you're saying something completely unfounded." Fan Jian slumped down.
Lu Yize recalled his previous life. In his previous life, after the apocalypse broke out, the marine monsters came ashore only half a year later. Now, it happened a few months earlier than in his previous life.
In its previous life, after marine life invaded the land, the central base was forced to relocate.
The small base where Lu Yize and his group were located also chose to move to another safe place, leaving behind a lonely city.
After the humans left, these marine creatures inexplicably returned to tranquility and slowly retreated back to the seabed. No one knows their purpose after coming ashore.
Marine creatures came ashore ahead of schedule, and a mutated giant deer crossed the continent from afar. I can't figure out what happened.
Lu Yize stopped wasting his brain thinking and said, "Forget it, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. The most important thing right now is to improve my superpowers."
After he said that, no one else said anything more.
According to the prediction of the Donggu Base, this heavy snow can only delay the snowfall for another half a month. During this half month, they must accelerate the improvement of their superpowers.
"Aside from absorbing the crystal core, Fan Jian, Xian Wenrui, and Zhang Wenjing, you should go out every day with Xiaobai to hunt lone alien beasts and then come back to Sheng Xue for treatment."
Aside from absorbing crystal cores, the fastest way to increase strength is still through actual combat.
None of the people whose names were mentioned had any objections. Jiang Yue didn't understand Lu Yize's string of words at all; he talked too much and clearly overwhelmed her.
But this didn't stop Jiang Yue from chiming in, even mimicking Fan Jian by clenching her fist and raising her hand, enthusiastically shouting, "Good!"
Lu Yize glanced at Jiang Yue, and her exclamation was indeed correct. He decided to personally take Jiang Yue to the beach.
"Disperse. Go back to your rooms as soon as possible to absorb the crystal cores and enhance your abilities."
After Lu Yize finished speaking, he pulled Jiang Yue, who was still inexplicably excited, back into the house. Jiang Yue was being pulled along, and she didn't put her other hand down either, as she was in a stage where she had a strong ability to imitate.
After entering the room, Lu Yize took out several first-tier ability cores and asked Jiang Yue to absorb them. However, when he saw that Jiang Yue's hand was still raised, Lu Yize raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why are you raising it?"
Jiang Yue's raised hand remained in a clenched fist, and then slowly fell under Lu Yize's expressionless gaze.
With her palm facing up and her fingers outstretched, a yellow crystal core lay flat in her palm.
A second-order crystal nucleus.
"Where did it come from?"
"shrimp."
Lu Yize frowned in confusion; he didn't think Jiang Yue would lie.
How could a second-tier crystal core exist inside a shrimp that had just entered the first tier? He had clearly already dug out the crystal core of the mutated krill.
Countless conspiracy theories flashed through Lu Yize's mind as he pondered the abnormality appearing on the abdomen of the mutated shrimp.
Completely unaware of Jiang Yue's outstretched hands and the look in her eyes that seemed to be seeking praise.
