Chapter 37: JR Farm-Stay 4

“Steal my power core?” Lin Rongrong asked in a confused voice.

Even Xu Fei was confused.

He read many apocalypse posts that appeared right before and after the apocalypse started.

However, he had never read anything about stealing power cores.

“If superpowers can absorb zombie and mutant crystal cores, why can’t they absorb superpower cores?” Qin Wu asked.

When Lin Rongrong heard this, her eyes widened, and her hands trembled.

“You don’t mean…, but we are fellow humans!” She exclaimed.

“Rongrong, there is no such thing as fellow humans in the apocalypse. There is only ’you’ and ’I’. We will get along if conditions allow, but if they don’t, then there is only ’I’.”

If possible, Qin Wu didn’t want Lin Rongrong to lose her natural kindness.

However, excessive kindness, ignorance, and empathy were weaknesses in the apocalypse.

If Lin Rongrong didn’t learn to be cruel when necessary, she would eventually suffer a terrible fate.

“Rongrong, it’s good to be kind, but you can’t be too kind.”

After hearing this, Lin Rongrong sighed.

“I understand.” She said, and Xu Fei couldn’t help but look at the woman with a trace of pity in his eyes.

For a doctor, selfishness was not a natural emotion.

However, Xu Fei wasn’t ambiguous about this matter.

If the consequence of excessive kindness was losing Lin Rongrong, Xu Fei was willing to take the lead in teaching her to be selfish.

Thinking of this, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

“Let’s go.” Mo Chenxuan reminded when he saw everyone was becoming a little distracted.

“Brother Chenxuan, how should we deal with the grass?” Qin Wu asked as the four walked towards the livestock sheds.

“We first need to determine its abilities. I will attack it with lightning when we get there. If that doesn’t work, you can try your space attack.” Mo Chenxuan said, and Qin Wu immediately nodded.

Twenty minutes later, the four stopped five metres from the grass.

“Get ready.” Mo Chenxuan said.

Soon after, a lightning bolt left his hand and hit the patch of grass.

A moment later, everyone had a loud sizzling.

Simultaneously, a whitish steam rose from the grass and began spreading in the surroundings.

“Retreat.” Mo Chenxuan ordered, and everyone fell back.

Fortunately, the steam only spread in a diameter of three metres before dissipating.

“What kind of ability was that?” Lin Rongrong wondered.

“That steam is corrosive. I think that mutant grass can release corrosive liquid.” Mo Chenxuan said, pointing at the ground.

Looking at the group, Qin Wu, Xu Fei, and Lin Rongrong were taken aback.

“It can even ground the ground.” Lin Rongrong muttered.

“Brother Chenxuan, let’s attack together.” Qin Wu said.

“Good.”

After that, Qin Wu unleashed a level-two space slash, and Mo Chenxuan threw a level-two lightning bolt.

Because the mutant grass was only level one, it couldn’t withstand the attacks.

When the attacks fell, the grass was annihilated and only a greenish crystal core was left on the ground.

Seeing the crystal core, Xu Fei narrowed his eyes with a thoughtful expression.

“Mr Mo., can such a crystal core be absorbed?” he asked.

After all, the mutant plant was corrosive and possibly poisonous.

“Some plant-type superpowers may be able to absorb it.” Qin Wu said, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes.

In her previous life, Chu Wan’er was one of the most powerful superpowers in the city B base.

From what Qin Wu knew, Chu Wan’er could control, grow, and kill plants. Because of this, she could absorb any type of plant-type crystal core, including the poisonous ones.

’I don’t know if she has the same ability in this life…’ Qin Wu wondered but didn’t dwell on it.

After Qin Wu put away the crystal core, the four continued towards the livestock sheds.

At this time, they were close enough to hear zombie grunts and beast roars.

They also heard loud bangs and angry scratching.

“Fortunately, the livestock sheds are made of sturdy material. Otherwise…” Lin Rongrong shuddered when she thought of the alternative.

“This farm is a treasure trove.” Qin Wu said with an expectant look.

Soon after, they reached the livestock sheds.

“How should we do this?” Xu Fei asked, his brows creased in a frown.

After all, each shed had more than one dozen animals.

If they opened a shed, they had to be prepared to deal with all the zombies or mutant beasts.

“Let’s start with the sheds with the fewest animals and then go from there.” Mo Chenxuan said, pointing at a shed.

“That one has three.” He said.

“What happened to the rest?” Lin Rongrong couldn’t help but be surprised when she saw three pigs standing on one side of a shed.

“The three pigs probably mutated while the rest turned into zombies. After a fight between the two sides, the mutant pigs won.” Qin Wu said, also looking at the three pigs.

Judging from the situation, ten pigs turned into zombies and three mutated.

Unexpectedly, the three somehow defeated the ten and became the owners of the shed.

“We can’t underestimate their combat ability.” She said, and Mo Chenxuan nodded.

“They are not easy to deal with since they can kill ten pig zombies without being scratched or bitten.”

“Mr Xu, Miss Long, I will leave the smallest one to you.” Mo Chenxuan said and the two immediately nodded in agreement.

“Wu’er, the biggest one will be left to you.”

“I understand.”

After that, Mo Chenxuan glanced at the middle one and narrowed his eyes.

A moment later, he turned to his team.

“Does anyone need to prepare?” He asked.

“I am ready.” Qin Wu said, raising her sword.

“We are also ready.” Xu Fei said.

Hearing this, Mo Chenxuan nodded, leapt forward, opened the shed gate, and immediately retreated.

Soon after, three pigs came barrelling out of the pen.

As instructed, Xu Fei and Lin Rongrong rushed to the smallest pig, Qin Wu met the largest, and Mo Chenxuan intercepted the middle pig.

A moment later, sounds of battle echoed in the surroundings.

Fortunately, none of the team members were weak.

In less than five minutes, Qin Wu defeated her pig and quickly dug its crystal core.

After that, she stood to the side watching the remaining fights.

At first, Qin Wu didn’t know why Mo Chenxuan assigned her the biggest pig.

However, looking at the current situation, she couldn’t help but sweat.

“It’s a level two speed-type mutant beast.” She muttered.

After her space superpower advanced to level two, Qin Wu could now teleport within a distance of one hundred metres.

However, teleporting was taxing to the body.

If asked to deal with a speed mutant beast using the teleport ability, she would likely exhaust herself before she barely managed to kill the mutant.

Thankfully, Mo Chenxuan had the lightning ability.

Generally, lightning users were first and could barely keep up with speed-type and wind-type abilities.

At this time, Mo Chenxuan did not fall behind.

Although the pig moved around, Mo Chenxuan was able to occasionally hit it.

Three minutes after Qin Wu dealt with her pig, Mo Chenxuan killed his and dug out its crystal core.

“Brother Chenxuan, is this pig edible?” She asked.

“It’s not edible.” The man said, pointing at the brain area from where he dug the crystal core.

“There are blue-black spots in the brain area from where I dug the crystal core. The pig is contaminated.”

“I see.” Qin Wu looked at the area and nodded.

“Mine is also.” She said.

“They were probably careless when eating the crystal cores of the zombie pigs they killed.”

“I think so too.”

After that, the two looked at Xu Fei and Lin Rongrong.

Fortunately, their pig was an ordinary mutant and didn’t have extraordinary strength or speed.

A few minutes later, they defeated it and dug out its crystal core.

Unfortunately, it was also contaminated and could not be eaten.

“I will open the next shed after we rest for ten minutes.”

Ten minutes later, Mo Chenxuan opened a pen, and they repeated they killed the zombies within.

In this way, the four worked hard to kill zombies and mutants.

By the time they broke for lunch, they had already killed more than seventy zombies and mutant beasts.

However, they had only dealt with large beasts, including pigs, sheep, and cows.

When Qin Wu thought of the chickens, rabbits, and other small beasts that lived in groups of hundreds, she couldn’t help but feel a headache.

’It’s going to be troublesome.’ She thought and wanted to talk to Mo Chenxuan about it.

However, before she could say anything, they heard the sound of cars and fighting coming from the direction of the gate.

“Is it the army from before?” Lin Rongrong asked in a sullen voice, but Mo Chenxuan shook his head.

“It’s a group of ordinary people and superpowers.” He said, but his brows were creased in a frown, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
