The End of the World: I am a rent collector in a shelter

Chapter 50: Earth-related Ability Awakening
Just when Ji Wanwan felt that she was about to be completely wrapped by these vines, these vines suddenly all withered and fell down limply.

She looked at the plants under her feet in surprise and found that the land beneath her feet was dry and cracked, without a trace of life.

Just as she was wondering, Ji Wanwan felt that the land beneath her feet had come alive again and was moving her to a safe place.

Unlike the devastating destruction caused by the giant zombie's rage, this feeling of earth shaking made Ji Wanwan feel more at ease.

She understood something in an instant.

who is it?

She looked around and found that Qi Hao was staring at the wood-type mutant with a fierce look, and a faint earthy brown fluorescence was glowing around him.

It turned out to be a rat!

At this time, Haozi awakened his earth-related abilities!

Ji Wanwan smiled brightly, feeling greatly encouraged.

Qi Hao, who had been silently protecting her, felt his heart tremble when he saw this smile.

[Superpower upgrade...]

[Superpower upgrade...]

[Superpower upgrade...]

[Superpower upgrade, current superpower level 5]

After rising five levels, a huge tearing sensation and pleasure intertwined in Qi Hao's body, making him feel both happy and painful.

The wood-type mutant not far away only felt that Qi Hao suddenly awakened, and then his whole body stiffened. After his expression changed strangely, Qi Hao's aura became stronger!

Why did this person level up so quickly?

While shocked, the man did not forget to re-control the plants to resist Qi Hao's attack.

Ji Wanwan was also stunned for a moment.

How come Qi Hao is just like Xu Siming, becoming stronger instantly without any signs?

It's so enviable that it drives me crazy!

Seeing that there was another awakened person on Ji Wanwan's side, the wood-type mutant was planning to run away.

The crystal core has not been retrieved yet, so Qi Hao and Ji Wanwan will never give him a chance to escape.

Xia Li, who lost the restraint of the plants, also chased after him: "Where are you going! Leave the crystal core behind!"

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!!"

An inappropriate and childish voice suddenly came out.

The three of them were stunned at the same time, and subconsciously restrained themselves a little.

"Brother! Give the crystal core back to them! Stop fighting with them!"

The voice appeared again, and Ji Wanwan realized that there was a soft and cute little girl at the place where the wood-type mutant had just jumped down.

At this time, the little girl was tilting her head, blinking her bright deer eyes, and looking at the people fighting with worry and anxiety on her face.

The little girl's eyes were innocent and contained no ill intentions.

Ji Wanwan stopped and stopped her teammates who were eager to try.

She paused and looked at the girl carefully, and found that the girl was wrapped in layers of plants from the waist down, and her cheeks were an unusual grayish white.

This little girl is obviously dying.

and so……

"You stole the crystal core for that child?"

Although Ji Wanwan was asking a question, her tone was firm.

The wood-type mutant didn't expect the little girl to come out. He was annoyed and pity and whispered: "Go in quickly!"

The little girl bit her lip in grievance, lowered her head, and tears were about to fall: "Brother, please return the crystal core to me, I can't cure it..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The man uttered a low cry, and the energy in his hand fluctuated. The intertwined plants instantly broke out of the ground, forming an impenetrable net between him and Ji Wanwan and the others, separating the two groups of people.

"Want to run?!"

Xia Li narrowed her seductive eyes. The blade flashed, and the plant net in front of her was instantly broken. The man had already run away with the little girl.

The 4 crystal cores must be obtained, Ji Wanwan blocked the man's way with a teleportation.

The man paused.

This woman's energy seems to be inexhaustible and endless!

She was so weak from exhaustion that she could barely stand just now, but now she was able to teleport directly in front of him!
Damn, that's tricky!

A fierce light gradually appeared in the man's eyes.

He shook his head in pain: "I don't want to hurt anyone, don't force me!"

Ji Wanwan looked at him relentlessly: "It must be hard for you to survive with your sister in the apocalypse, right?"

She turned her wrist, and a green crystal core appeared in her palm: "You have strong energy and good skills. I think you have fought hard after the outbreak of the apocalypse, so you should still have crystal cores, right?"

The man remained silent, staring at the green crystal core.

It seems that the guess was right. Ji Wanwan curled her lips and said, "You need the green crystal core because you can resonate with the energy of the green crystal core, maximize your ability, and better help you save your sister."

The man withdrew his gaze from the crystal core and silently looked at the other people who were chasing him.

"So? What are you trying to do by stating the obvious? To stall for time?"

Ji Wanwan shook her head and gestured to Xia Li and the others to stop.

Seeing this, several people stopped but did not let down their guard.

"I'm telling you this because you can exchange the other crystal cores with me, but we shot down this blue one, so don't even think about getting it for free!"

The man's brow relaxed.

After a brief silence, he said sullenly, "I don't have any other crystal cores. I took all the crystal cores to the black market to exchange for wood crystal cores."

"black market?!"

Ji Wanwan was startled.

Less than a month after the apocalypse began, the black market has already appeared?

This……

In the previous life, the black market gradually appeared half a year after the end of the world, but this time it appeared so much earlier!

Ji Wanwan's reaction surprised the man: "Don't you know there is a black market?"

That's strange.

Look at this group of people, they are well-equipped, almost all of them are people with special abilities, but they don’t even know the existence of the black market.

Ji Wanwan twirled her fingertips: "Where is the black market? What do they sell?"

This information can be heard everywhere, and the man did not hide anything: "There is an underground casino on the outskirts of Liancheng. Not long after the apocalypse broke out, it became the largest black market in Liancheng, selling all kinds of crystal cores, weapons, medicines, and imprisoned zombie pets."

"Zombie pets..."

Ji Wanwan's mouth twitched.

People who keep this thing as a pet really have unique hobbies.

In her previous life, Ji Wanwan had been to the black market several times, mostly to buy supplies.

As far as I can remember, if you want to enter a place like the black market, you have to have special access. You can't just enter it casually, especially for ordinary people. It would cost a lot of money to get in.

Ji Wanwan came back to her senses: "How do I get into the black market?"

The man didn't say anything, but lowered his eyes to look at the crystal core in Ji Wanwan's hand, and curved his lips with a smile.

Only by doing everything possible to gain benefits for yourself can you live longer in the apocalypse.

Ji Wanwan could understand this behavior.

She smiled and looked down at the little girl in the man's arms: "There are supplies in my shelter. If you want to save her, I can help you, but you have to listen to me. You have to do whatever I tell you to do!"

The man didn't move: "Why should I trust you?"

Ji Wanwan put the green crystal core into the space: "Believe it or not, even without you, I still have a way to enter the black market. But without this wood crystal core, it's hard to say how long your sister can last..."
