Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 835 - Eight Hundred and Thirty-Five: Automatic Absorption
Chapter 835: Chapter Eight Hundred and Thirty-Five: Automatic Absorption
After the helicopter took off, Su Jin temporarily entered the Wood Spirit Space. As soon as she entered and the Jade slip turned into a bright point and flew towards her, she had a premonition that the space had upgraded…
She quickly associated it with the Crystal Core she had just obtained because, before that, the space no longer automatically absorbed Crystal Cores.
If the space could upgrade by absorbing just that one Crystal Core, that would definitely be a huge joy for Su Jin, the kind that would make her wake up laughing from a dream. However, when she ran into the Crystal Core warehouse and saw that nearly half of the Crystal Cores were gone, she felt as if her heart had turned cold.
million Crystal Cores vanished without a trace!!
Su Jin wanted to cry but had no tears; she could only follow the excited Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo to admire the Lu Residence main house, which had now become as high as a five-story building. The Lu Residence originally only needed one floor, what would she do with five floors!!
And then there was this boundless vast space; how big did it need to be for them to use it, as if they could never finish farming in their lifetime!
Could it be that the ancestors of the Lu Family were farming enthusiasts, hoping their descendants would all become farmers who loved to work the fields?
“Xiao Jin, don’t be sad… I see there are still some Crystal Cores left in the warehouse,”
Li Xiuying didn’t know how to comfort her utterly dejected granddaughter, but at least they had left them some Crystal Cores, hadn’t they?
“Yes, yes, Xiao Jin, look over there, there’s an even bigger Teleportation Array,”
Lin Yunguo pointed out, referring to a Teleportation Array not far from the Lu Residence which looked bigger than the others. 15 million Crystal Cores were indeed formidable.
“Yes, Grandpa, I saw it,”
At this point, Su Jin felt she could only accept her fate; she even wondered if it was because they had the ability to upgrade the space, but chose not to for the time being, so the space simply decided to upgrade on its own.
However, the Jade slip didn’t tell her any new information this time. Instead, it just excitedly flew around her for a while before returning to its original appearance as an ordinary Jade slip.
The happiest ones after the upgrade were the animals in the space. Local Tyrant Gold was actually riding on Labi, bossing around in command, followed by the joyfully running Little Wu and Little Liu, including the chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle, and sheep in the livestock area, which also seemed utterly carefree behind the Lu Residence.
“How many Crystal Cores will it take to sustain this space each day from now on?”
Su Jin wanted to cry again, feeling that the huge Spirit Field might exhaust her entire family.
It seemed that in the future, she would better not put everything into this space.
However, Nie Qing and Lu Hao and others didn’t think so after learning about this.
“Girl, if it weren’t for that Crystal Core just now, perhaps the space would have absorbed more than 15 million this time,”
Nie Qing said after flying around the space several times using Wind Element Ability. The space must have sensed the powerful energy of that Crystal Core to have initiated the absorption mode. Otherwise, this upgrade that made the space so much larger would have consumed even more Crystal Cores.
“That Teleportation Array looks strange, as if it’s broken?”
Lin Xiuyuan ran over and said.
Broken?
Su Jin had not yet taken a close look at the Teleportation Array. When they walked over to inspect it, they indeed noticed something different about it.
“There’s no formation…”
Su Jin murmured.
The formation in the middle had not formed; there were only two grey circles and patterns on the side. It looked like an unfinished Teleportation Array, didn’t it?
Even Nie Qing started to doubt, “Could it be that the ancestors of the Lu Family went to have a meal while they were drawing the formation?”
“This might be the last upgrade…”
Lu Hao, who had been silent, commented.
“What, what? Brother-in-law, how can you tell?”
The last upgrade?
“I’m not certain, it’s just a guess, that the main residence has been capped off,”
Lu Hao said, pointing at the Lu Residence’s five-story main building which was already filled to the top.
The main residence of the Lu Residence actually didn’t have the same width and length on each floor, but rather was shaped like a tower, getting progressively smaller towards the top, and the fifth floor was obviously the last one.
“That’s really true!”
Su Jin exclaimed in joyful surprise; she hadn’t noticed this until now.
“That’s odd, girl, didn’t that jade slip give you any information at all?”
Nie Qing asked, because, logically, there should have been some kind of prompt when the space upgraded to its final level.
“No, it just flew around for a bit…”
Su Jin said with a frown.
“Labi and the others are so happy,”
Mao Qiqi observed as she watched the lion Labi and local tyrant gold frolicking in the distance.
The space upgrade was, in fact, a necessary path for them as well, and, encouraged by everyone else, Su Jin no longer felt upset.
The group didn’t dare stay too long in the space; after a while, Xing Taian and his people might arrive, so Su Jin also left the space with the others.
Before long, the delighted Xing Taian arrived with a hundred members of his guard squad and Kou Ning at the previously agreed-upon location.
“We owe you one again,”
Xing Taian said happily to the unscathed Heart Talk Team, grateful that they had eliminated such a dangerous entity. Now, no one should be able to use it to cause harm to City S anymore, right?
“But we still haven’t resolved the base’s issues,”
Lu Hao said. He had to admit, the strategy to divert the zombies executed by Han Yue and his team had been a success so far; they were just missing the last step. However, the situation had probably exceeded Han Yue’s estimates; it seemed a zombie tide might still be inevitable.
“You’re right, we should get back as soon as possible,”
Xing Taian ordered Song Sibo to pack up the helicopter. If they hurried, they could make it back to the base before nightfall.
“What is there to fear from a zombie tide? Isn’t it good to have zombies delivered right to our doorstep to be killed? The city walls of City S’s base are so thick,”
Kou Ning said, having never seen any place with walls thicker or taller than those of City S’s base.
“It’s not about fear, it’s that there could be casualties among our people inside the base; a prolonged situation could also easily lead to a shortage of resources and the collapse of a base,”
Su Xiangzhe responded, indicating that while each zombie tide tended to bolster the abilities of the Special Ability Users within the base, casualties were a daily occurrence. Moreover, if not for the supplies from the Heart Talk Store, a typical base would have a hard time making it through.
“Hey, no wonder the Han Family is so covetous of you, the Heart Talk Team. But they are not as smart as me; they want the meat but don’t think of ways to curry favor, and they want to do everything themselves,”
Kou Ning leaned back in a comfortable seat and remarked.
“So you’ve been trying to curry favor with us this whole time?”
The voice of Lu Hao suddenly came through the walkie-talkie.
“…It’s not exactly that, look, I can’t cook, haha,”
Kou Ning was startled; why wasn’t the walkie-talkie turned off? And he had this nagging feeling that something was amiss – why was he feeling guilty? He had paid good money after all, hadn’t he?
“I left it on. I wanted to inform everyone that there is a group of zombies blocking the way ahead,”
Mao Qiqi said while holding the walkie-talkie, explaining.
