Chapter 126: Injured

“Chenxuan.” Qin Wu screamed, her heart racing from fear.

“What’s wrong?”

“Wu’er…” Mo Chenxuan started but didn’t finish.

Instead, he pulled up on the side of the road and slumped into the driver’s seat.

“I have encountered a spiritual ability zombie, but I am fine.” He said in a laboured voice.

“Fine?” Qin Wu asked through gritted teeth.

However, she was a little relieved that Mo Chenxuan could still talk.

“Should we turn back?” She asked, but Mo Chenxuan shook his head before speaking.

“Suddenly returning will raise a lot of unwanted questions. I will drink space water to stabilise my injuries.”

Qin Wu frowned when she heard this.

However, she also knew Mo Chenxuan was right.

After a moment of thought, she unclenched her hands and exhaled.

“Focus on stabilising your body. I will drive.” She said, and Mo Chenxuan nodded.

After that, the two changed seats and continued towards the refinery.

On the passenger seat, Mo Chenxuan drank space water and absorbed energy stones to stabilise himself.

Half an hour later, he opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

“How are you?” Qin Wu asked in an anxious voice.

“Better, but my injuries are a little serious.”

Hearing this, Qin Wu paled and her hands subconsciously clenched the steering wheel.

However, she soon collected herself and turned to Mo Chenxuan.

“What happened?” She asked.

“I was probing the area using my spiritual ability when I was suddenly attacked.” The man started and quickly continued.

“I blocked with a spiritual ability barrier, but it was of no use. It was torn apart in seconds.”

“This…” Qin Wu trembled.

After all, Mo Chenxuan was a level three superpower.

What kind of attack could effortlessly break his spiritual barrier?

“A level three spiritual ability zombie?” She asked, and Mo Chenxuan nodded.

“If I am not mistaken, it should be at the late stage.”

“This is not good.”

“I know, but we are safe for the time being. It only attacked because I was probing the black stone.”

“But Chenxuan, with it there, we can’t even think of approaching the black stone without being noticed.”

“I know.” Mo Chenxuan nodded with a solemn expression.

He hadn’t expected to encounter a level three spiritual ability zombie so early in the apocalypse.

However, while it was dangerous, he was also looking forward to it.

After all, a level three spiritual ability crystal core was just what he needed to advance.

“We need to find a way to warn the others about the spiritual ability zombie.” Qin Wu suddenly said.

“Mmh.” Mo Chenxuan nodded with a thoughtful expression.

“What’s on your mind?”

“There are twenty-eight level three zombies in the refinery. I wonder how many are more powerful than us.”

“You are worried?’

“Mmh.” Mo Chenxuan nodded and began explaining.

“I will need to use my fusion attack if I want to defeat that spiritual ability zombie. However, that attack consumes too much energy, and I will be almost done after the one attack. Also…”

“You are injured.”

“Right.”

The two fell silent after that.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the refinery.

Other teams had also arrived and were preparing to ’quietly’ scout the place.

“I already mapped the area before I was attacked. I will draw a map when we return.” Mo Chenxuan said, and Qin Wu nodded before turning to the man.

“What now?” She asked.

“There is a canteen and a supermarket at the refinery’s innermost area. Let’s see if there is anything we can collect.”

“Okay.”

With that, Qin Wu drove through the gate and headed towards the innermost area.

As they drove, they heard a cacophony of grunts and screeches.

However, the zombies didn’t rush towards them.

“That black stone is truly magical.” Qin Wu sighed.

The base had collected many black stones in their previous life.

Unfortunately, research led to nothing, and no one knew what the stones really were.

“We still need to be careful.” Mo Chenxuan said, not forgetting the spiritual ability zombie.

“Chenxuan…” Qin Wu suddenly called with a thoughtful expression.

“What’s the matter?”

“What do you think would happen if we soaked the black stone in space water?”

Mo Chenxuan frowned when he heard the question.

Black stones were different from crystal cores.

However, like Qin Wu, Mo Chenxuan also thought something would happen if they soaked a black stone in space water.

Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes with a thoughtful expression.

“We should find an opportunity to test our theory.”

“I think so too, but this black stone is probably not the right one.”

“I know.” Mo Chenxuan said.

After all, they were on a joint mission.

When it came down to it, others would notice the black stone and would naturally not give it to Team Legends.

“I remember the location of some small nests. It won’t be too late to find them after we complete this mission.”

Driving to the canteen was smoother than expected.

After confirming there were no zombies in the vicinity, the two entered the canteen and began looking around.

Unfortunately, the pantry was empty, and only the furniture was left in the entire canteen.

“It seems a space ability user came through here.” Qin Wu said.

“It doesn’t matter. We have enough resources to feed a city for one hundred years.” Mo Chenxuan said.

After leaving the canteen, they went to the supermarket, but the situation was the same.

Seeing this, the two returned to the canteen and sat next to each other.

They didn’t plan to return right away.

After all, everyone was scouting, and it would be too suspicious if they returned too early.

While waiting for the time to pass, they ate a sumptuous lunch of white rice, two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, one soup, and a dessert.

“Chenxuan, let’s have hotpot when we return to the base.” Qin Wu suddenly said.

“Winter is coming. It’s only natural to have hotpot during cold weather.” Mo Chenxuan immediately agreed.

“As…” Qin Wu started but suddenly stopped.

A moment later, she waved her hand and their dirty dishes were collected into her space.
