Su Han grabbed Shen Chengyin by the collar and shook him back and forth. "What are you doing?! Now you're all wet!"

Even if you awaken water-based superpowers, you can't just waste them like this!

The man couldn't help but look down, raising his hand to press on Su Han's body. Her clothes, which had just been soaked, instantly evaporated, becoming dry and soft.

pity.

Su Han reluctantly accepted it. He shook his clothes, got out of bed, and put on the coat that Shen Chengyin had given him again.

The room was filled with zombie crystal cores, and he grabbed one and held it in his palm.

Compared to the male protagonist's absorption efficiency, his efficiency is even slower than that of ordinary superhumans.

Furthermore, since the laws of power have not yet been discovered by humans, he cannot determine his own power level.

All we can do is try our best to become stronger and take it one step at a time.

After Shen Chengyin awakened his water-based superpower, things became much more convenient, both for daily cleaning and drinking water.

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Yurou immediately dragged Shen Chengyin to water the fields. With such a severe shortage of ability users at the base, Shen Chengyin was worth ten of them; she wished she could split him in two.

Shen Chengyin was unwilling to be a farmer, so Jiang Yurou tried everything to persuade Su Han, saying all sorts of nice things. In the end, she managed to coax Shen Chengyin into planting a few acres of land.

Two months later, the crystal cores stored in Shen Chengyin's space were completely absorbed.

Shen Chengyin is about to break through to the Divine Realm, and Su Han also urgently needs to improve her strength. Since the two cannot gather such a large number of crystal cores in a short time, Su Han sets her sights on Jiang Yurou.

The new base has seen a sharp decrease in population. The large number of zombies killed in the initial horde means that ordinary ability users are far less efficient at absorbing crystal cores. After removing the crystal cores necessary for the base's operation, there should still be some remaining.

Upon learning the purpose of their visit, Jiang Yurou didn't beat around the bush and simply took out all the extra crystal cores from the warehouse.

It was heavy, containing several thousand high-level zombie crystal cores.

It's quite a generous gift.

Su Han nodded, "I'll repay you when I break through."

Jiang Yurou waved her hand, "Hey, it's nothing, no need to return it. But I have a favor to ask..."

The woman looked up at Shen Chengyin, "Could you two help me move something?"

Part of the new base's walls collapsed during the previous bombardment. Although earth-elemental ability users could assist in the repairs, using rubble and soil to rebuild the walls was ultimately not a long-term solution.

The military factory where this group of people used to work also produced ultra-high-performance concrete for military use. Its strength is 5-10 times that of ordinary concrete.

Jiang Yurou remembered that there was still a lot of concrete in the warehouse, but it was simply unrealistic to transport it over in trips using ordinary means of transport.

That thing is too heavy; the manpower alone would be a huge expense.

Shen Chengyin is the only space-type ability user in the base. With him around, it only takes one trip to easily transport the goods back.

"Oh, by the way, there's some weaponry stored there. If you don't mind, you can take it with you. You don't need to give it to me; consider it a thank-you gift." Jiang Yurou's words revealed her absolute trust in the two of them.

Shen Chengyin nodded in agreement, and Su Han didn't object either. Clearing out the surrounding zombies while out of the city would also reduce the pressure on the crystal core.

In the original story, Shen Chengyin obtained all the crystal cores needed for his ability upgrade by killing zombies himself, which took him several years. In this life, with the help of various parties, the process is much faster.

Having made up their minds, the two set off quickly. Jiang Yurou offered to send them two helicopters, but Su Han politely declined.

They need to kill zombies on the ground to get crystal cores along the way, so they can't do it while flying.

Several intermediate-level superhumans formed a group to leave the city, consisting of six people in two vehicles. Among them, Li Tiangan shared a vehicle with Su Han.

Li Tiangan is still called Li Dashi. Even though the entire base is now filled with his own people, he still doesn't dare to revert to his original name.

He even privately considered whether he should change bases and go into hiding.

Li Tiangan drove, and the group drove along, stopping frequently to clear away any zombies they could see in the vicinity.

puff.

With the knife given to him by Su Han, Li Tiangan could easily break open the skull of a mid-level zombie.

This was something he never dared to imagine before. The bones of intermediate-level zombies are sturdy and cannot be broken by ordinary knives. They usually have to use their special abilities to repeatedly whip the corpses and break the skulls, which takes a lot of effort to obtain the zombie crystal core.

Now that I have Su Han, it's as simple as saying a word, it's incredibly convenient, like being enchanted.

Li Tiangan casually brandished the knife a couple of times. Su Han chuckled and teased, "What are you doing?"

"Give me this knife, I'll trade you some crystal cores."

"Take it, do I look like a stingy person?" Su Han snorted lightly.

The crystal core was casually tossed into a bag, and Li Tianqian laughed as he threw the bag into the car.

He looked up and saw that another superhuman who had followed him not far away had not thrown the crystal core into the bag, but had instead secretly stuffed it into his pocket.

Li Tiangan shook his head, pretending not to see. Everyone has selfish motives; taking one or two crystal cores is fine. As long as the base receives enough cores in return, it's acceptable.

"When can we get to the military factory?" Su Han asked.

"Soon. At this rate, we should arrive in two more days," Li Tiangan replied.

Su Han nodded, and the group set up camp to rest after clearing out the nearby zombies.

The tents were pitched, and two people worked in a group, with one person staying behind to keep watch at night.

In the middle of the night, during the shift change, the man who was woken up was the one who had just stuffed crystal cores into his pocket.

He pretended to be tired, nodded, and secretly slipped a few mid-level zombie crystal cores into his waist pouch after leaving the tent.

Once he was sure his teammates were asleep, the man carefully got up and went in the dark to the place where he had cleared out the zombies during the day.

He turned on his flashlight and, using its dim light, found the several zombie corpses he had hidden during the day.

He didn't collect the crystal cores from these zombies; he deliberately hid them, planning to put them into his pocket at night when no one was watching.

In the pitch-black thicket, the grotesque corpse sent chills down his spine. He mustered his courage, collected the crystal cores, and was about to leave when he heard a cold voice behind him:

"What are you doing?"

The man turned around; there was someone in the shadows in the distance.
