Chapter 23: Second Meetings

Since they slept late, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu didn’t wake up as early as usual.

They woke up at seven, cleaned up, and had breakfast while watching the black rain.

At exactly eight, the rain stopped, but the excited zombie grunts did not stop.

“I am looking forward to Crystal cores.” Qin Wu said.

“Don’t use them directly.” Mo Chenxuan reminded.

“What do you mean?”

“Crystal cores are good, but they have many impurities. It’s why superpowers feel uncomfortable after using a few.”

“I know that, but what’s the alternative?”

“Don’t we have space water? Let’s soak the crystal cores in space water to remove the impurities.”

“Now that you mention it…” Qin Wu smiled before she continued.

“Although our space water is not as good as what you gave me on the eve of the apocalypse, it is still good at removing impurities. The water should definitely work on the crystal cores.”

“My thoughts exactly.”

“Well then…” Qin Wu stood up, donned her mask, and looked at Mo Chenxuan.

“Let’s go.” She said.

Because they didn’t plan to leave the villa area, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu didn’t drive.

After leaving their house, they walked towards the estate gate and soon encountered a zombie.

“It’s that man.” Qin Wu said as soon as she saw the zombie.

At a glance, Qin Wu recognised the zombie as the middle-aged man they met on the first day of the apocalypse.

At that time, a female zombie was chasing the man, and Qin Wu advised him to behead her.

Unfortunately, the man refused to ‘kill’ his ‘wife’ and wanted to get in their car.

Judging from the fact that the man still wore the same clothes as when they met him, Qin Wu suspected he was scratched or bitten on that day.

“You couldn’t kill your wife, but she didn’t hesitate to kill you.” Qin Wu muttered and directly unleashed a space slash.

Before the black rain, one space slash was enough to behead a zombie.

However, after the black rain, the space slash was not enough.

First, the zombies were faster, stronger, and more intelligent.

After sensing the attack, the zombie moved and narrowly avoided the space slash.

Seeing this, Qin Wu smiled.

Since the zombie could react like that, it had a crystal core.

“Brother Chenxuan, I will deal with this one.” Qin Wu said, and Mo Chenxuan nodded.

“Go ahead.” He said.

At the same time, he used his spiritual power to scan the surroundings.

A moment later, he stopped scanning, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

“What an unexpected coincidence.” He said.

“What is?”

“Xu Fei and the woman are here.”

“Here? How come?” Qin Wu asked, but Mo Chexuan shrugged.

“I don’t know. They are killing zombies down the road.”

“Okay.” Qin Wu said and hastened her attacks.

Although Mo Chenxuan didn’t say it, Qin Wu knew he was interested in the two people.

Of everyone they had met since the apocalypse began, Xu Fei and the woman were the only two that impressed them.

They were not only calm but also resourceful.

Additionally, Mo Chenxuan had met Xu Fei before the apocalypse and didn’t dislike his character.

If possible, he wanted to invite the two people to join his and Qin Wu’s team.

However, it was still a little early to decide.

After all, they were going to city B and didn’t know Xu Fei’s and the woman’s plans.

Three minutes later, Qin Wu killed the zombie and used her sword to dig out the crystal core.

At a glance, the crystal core was round and looked like a flawless transparent gem.

Without context, no one would believe something so beautiful was removed from a zombie’s head.

However, that was the reality.

After collecting the crystal core and burning the body, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu continued walking.

When they encountered a zombie, one or the other would deal with it.

In no time, they arrived at the estate gate and finally saw Xu Fei and the woman.

Similarly, Xu Fei and Lin Rongrong saw the two and couldn’t help but be surprised.

“We meet again.” Lin Rongrong said.

“It’s nice to see you again.” Qin Wu nodded.

“Do you live here?”

“Yes, villa eight.”

“What a surprise! Xu Fei and I live in villa nine.”

“It’s indeed a strange coincidence.”

After that, the two women hit it off and continued chatting while killing zombies.

Beside them, the two men were killing zombies while observing each other.

Mo Chenxuan noted Xu Fei and the woman were using similar swords.

However, Xu Fei’s sword grew from his palm and looked like a secondary limb.

‘Metal superpower.’ Mo Chenxuan thought.

‘Since the woman is not using her superpower to kill zombies, she is either an ordinary person or has a non-combat ability.’ He concluded.

“Are you Mr. Mo?” Xu Fei asked, and Mo Chenxuan didn’t deny it.

“I am Mo Chenxuan.” He confirmed, and Xu Fei nodded before he continued.

“Your lightning ability is quite powerful.” He said.

At first, Xu Fei thought he and Lin Rongrong were powerful.

Unexpectedly, Mo Chenxuan and the White-dressed woman were even more so.

Compared to them, he and Lin Rongrong were several times weaker.

Thinking of this, Xu Fei frowned but didn’t ask anything.

On the other side, Lin Rongrong realised she hadn’t introduced herself.

“By the way, my name is Lin Rongrong. I was a doctor before the apocalypse.” She said.

“I am Qin Wu.”

“It’s nice to meet you.” Lin Rongrong said and sighed with regret.

“I read in the apocalypse posts that forming teams is a good way to survive the end times. It’s too bad we can’t become teammates.” She said.

“Why not?” Qin Wu asked.

“Xu Fei and I plan on going to the capital.”

When Qin Wu heard that, her eyes widened in surprise, and she soon burst into laughter.

“What a coincidence. Brother Chenxuan and I also plan to go to the capital. We leave the day after tomorrow.” She revealed.
