Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 614 Apocalypse Zombies 4

"It's okay, we'll go look for it tomorrow."

“Yes, let’s go then.” Shen Fu stood up, picking up her bag.

"and many more!"

Shen Wenyu nodded and was about to turn around when she heard her words and stopped to look at her: "What's wrong?"

"Your hair isn't dry yet. Why don't you wait until it's dry before you go? You just recovered from a fever, so don't let it get windy."

In the apocalypse, medicine is precious and valuable. Not only do you suffer from illness, but you also have to spend a lot of effort to find medicine.

"It's okay. My physical condition is better than that of an average person. Most importantly, have you forgotten that I have healing abilities?"

"Yeah, look at my brain, I forgot it so quickly." Shen Fu slapped her head, looking somewhat speechless.

"You're just too worried that I forgot."

"Yes, yes, how could I, as your older sister, not care about you? Let's go."

Speaking of this, Shen Wenyu said in the original owner's usual tone, "Shen Xiaofu, you are only a few months older than me."

Shen Fu said smugly, "I'm a few months older, so I'm still your older sister."

The two spoke in hushed tones as they cautiously descended the stairs.

Oh, Shen Fu was on guard alone. Shen Wenyu knew there was no danger, but she still cooperated with the vigilance.

While Shen Fu was taking a bath, she stood guard outside, keeping watch. The two of them were isolated by spiritual energy, so there was no need to worry about attracting zombies.

Feeling refreshed after their showers, they went upstairs, dried their hair, and took turns keeping watch until they went to sleep.

In the apocalypse, one cannot let one's guard down all the time, so it is necessary to leave people on watch at night.

Shen Wenyu deliberately chose to keep watch for the first half of the night, and asked Xiao Qi to help keep watch so she could get some sleep.

So she didn't wake Shen Fu when it was time to keep watch, letting her sleep a little longer and wake up on her own before Shen Fu did.

next day

The two finished their last food early in the morning. It was bread they had scavenged from the bags of those two people yesterday, and they also unexpectedly obtained a few crystal cores.

After packing their things, they planned to leave and head to the nearest commercial street.

The area around this unfinished building is very remote, and there's practically nothing to collect there; you can only go to places with shops.

The two had just walked a short distance from the building entrance when Shen Wenyu suddenly stopped and grabbed Shen Fu.

Thinking something was wrong, Shen Fu gripped the knife in her hand and asked in a low voice, "Ayu, what's wrong? Are there zombies?"

Shen Wenyu held a smooth stick in his hand and twirled it casually: "There are people over there."

Shen Fu looked in the direction she was looking, and just as she was wondering, she saw three people walk out from behind a building.

Two men and one woman, each carrying a weapon and a backpack, walked towards them, and seemed somewhat wary upon seeing them.

In the apocalypse, no one knows whether they will encounter a human or a ghost, and they may be tricked if they are not careful.

All three were young people, but they looked a few years older than the women. The man walking in front was probably the leader.

Seeing that the two men were standing there watching them without leaving, he had no choice but to go up and ask, "Is there something you need?"

"Do you have a car?" Shen Wenyu stopped to wait for them to come out, actually hoping to hitch a ride.

Otherwise, following Xiaoqi's route to the nearest commercial street would take more than an hour, which is too slow.

If she were alone, she could simply take out her car from her spatial storage and drive off, but with two people, it would be better to be more discreet.

Upon hearing this, the man guessed her intention.

He realized that there were two grown men on his side, while the two girls posed little threat.

"We have a car and are heading to the southern base. Do you want to hitch a ride or are you also going to the base?"

Since the end times, the military and several other forces have established bases and named them in the four cardinal directions, which are also the four largest bases in the country.

The other smaller bases have various names, such as Hope Base and Rising Sun Base, and there is no limit to the number of them.

The Southern Base is the largest base in the south, and most survivors choose to go there. It is where the military is stationed.

Compared to the smaller bases, which were a mixed bag, the southern base was less chaotic and more secure.

Shen Wenyu didn't beat around the bush and stated her purpose directly: "Could you give us a ride? I can pay you."

You can make a transaction without owing favors or meddling in other people's business; once the transaction is completed, the money is settled.

The man hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at his two companions: "What do you think?"

The woman whispered a few words, and both men nodded in agreement.

She took a step forward and looked at Wen Yu: "What is the reward?"

Shen Wenyu glanced at Shen Fu, understanding her meaning, but still pulled her aside: "Ayu, you have special abilities, why don't you keep the crystal core for yourself?"

They currently only have crystal cores to trade, but those with superpowers have an even greater need for crystal cores, and the same applies to entering the base.

Crystal cores are also the base's currency; giving crystal cores is equivalent to paying money.

In addition to the four crystal cores they had looted yesterday, the two also had two that they had been carrying with them, for a total of six zero-level crystal cores.

Shen Wenyu: "It's a long way to go, listen to me."

Her special abilities don't need to be upgraded; they're already maxed out when she uses special ability cards. Her mental power and spatial abilities aren't special abilities either, so they don't need to be upgraded by absorbing crystal cores.

As for what Shen Fu will need to use when she awakens her powers, they can obtain them by killing zombies; they don't need those two crystal cores right now.

"OK then."

Shen Fu took off her backpack, thought for a moment, and then took out only two transparent crystal cores:

"Two crystal cores should be enough, right? They're just for taking us a short distance, and they can help us if we encounter a lot of zombies."

Although gasoline is expensive now, their journey isn't very long. She roughly knows that going to the southern base is somewhat on the same route as theirs.

She thought that if they tried to extort money, she would definitely advise Ayu not to ride in their car.

The woman opposite didn't say anything upon seeing this. After confirming with her companion, she readily agreed, showing that they were quite straightforward.

After entering the base, the three of them will have to hand over supplies. They're only helping two people for a short distance, so they'll earn whatever they can.

For ordinary people, killing zombies to obtain crystal cores is neither easy nor difficult.

However, not every zombie has a crystal core; you might only get about ten crystal cores after killing a hundred.

It's easier for those with superpowers, since the team is led by people with superpowers.

They were going to pass by the commercial street and happened to be there to collect some supplies, so it was just on their way.

After the transaction was completed, Shen Wenyu didn't waste any more words with them and urged them directly, "Let's go to where you parked."

The five of them traveled together, and along the way, Shen Wenyu took care of any lone zombies he encountered.

Seeing her knock the zombie's head off with a single blow, the others were somewhat impressed, and their gazes towards her changed.

In the car, Shen Wenyu sat in the back seat by the window, next to Shen Fu, with the woman on her other side, and two men sitting in the front.

"You're a superhuman too, aren't you?" the woman suddenly asked.
