NOVEL NEXT Chapter 433: Hidden Thoughts ( 2 )
Normally, he needed to spend lots of effort to absorb the energy from crystal cores, but with this one, he didn't even do anything, and the energy entered his body so easily.
If he used this crystal core and attempted a breakthrough, he could get the same result with half the effort.
When Cheng Rui reached this conclusion, he no longer hesitated and said, "Sister, I want this crystal core."
Jiao Lizhi nodded and said, "No problem."
Since the two of them were strangers, they counted the crystal cores on the spot. Twenty minutes later, Cheng Rui handed 5,000 level-one crystal cores to her and received a level-three metal crystal core.
When they finished the transaction, Cheng Yue had already returned with two rifles and two handguns. He took some ammo and an armored car.
Because the Phantom Team took this place first, they couldn't take the military chopper and could only settle for the best they could get.
Noticing his brother's excitement, he asked, "Ah Rui, are you done?"
Cheng Rui nodded and said, "Ah Yue, it's already dark. How about we spend the night here?"
"Okay."
After Feng Yun and Xiao Qi stored the weapons in their spaces, Jiao Lizhi stored the rest in her space. Since the warehouse was too big, they decided to spend the night in the office building.
Unlike the other areas, this place had no sign of fighting. After more than two months, the floor was covered with a thick layer of dust. With a wave of his hand, Qin Luzi created a small tornado that sucked all the dust and threw it out.
Afterward, Chen Qianfeng created a water ball to wash the floor. When he was done, Shen Jinzhe created two small blue flames and used them to dry the wet floor.
It only took them half an hour to clean up an entire floor. Then, Jiao Lizhi collected everything in the office before she took out several bunk beds from her space, complete with pillows and blankets, setting up a sleeping quarter.
Standing at the entrance, Cheng Rui and Cheng Yue exchanged a glance. It seemed that this team really knew how to enjoy life. Having a space-type ability-user in the team was indeed convenient. They could even bring their own beds and pillows.
Noticing them standing unmoving at the door, Gao Bohai said, "Little brothers, come in, don't stand at the door."
When they walked over, he patted their shoulders and said, "Since we met here, it means we are fated. Don't be shy with us."
After he said this, Li Sikai added, "The two of you can stay with us tonight and use these beds."
The moment Cheng Yue heard this, he walked to the bed and said, "Thank you."
He placed his backpack down and lay on the bed without showing the slightest sign of shyness or hesitation. As soon as his head touched the pillow, he let out a sigh and closed his eyes.
In less than two minutes, they heard soft snoring coming from him. Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
Not to mention that they were in the apocalypse, even during the peaceful era, no one would be able to sleep so easily when so many strangers were present. Unexpectedly, this person could fall asleep just like that. This could be counted as a talent.
Noticing everyone's gaze on his brother, Cheng Rui coughed and explained, "We haven't had a good sleep for a long time."
When the members heard this, they nodded in understanding. Not everyone was as fortunate as them to be able to have a good sleep and a good meal.
Jiao Lizhi glanced at Cheng Yue and smiled. Even though he looked like someone who could sleep anywhere and anytime, his vigilance was better than Cheng Rui's. He would wake up the moment someone got close to him.
While Cheng Yue was sleeping, Xiao Qi took out two big metal basins from his space, and Chen Qianfeng filled up the basins with water. After Zhang Yuan created a wall to divide the office, the members went to take their baths.
At the same time, Jiao Lizhi took out several big pots, stoves, ten packs of frozen dumplings, two packs of dried vegetables, two packs of sausages, and twenty packs of noodles from her space.
Then, she filled half of the pots with water and mixed in some pond water. When the water was boiled, she put the ingredients in. After she added some seasonings, the aroma filled the air.
Before the members finished their baths, Cheng Yue suddenly opened his eyes and walked over. He took a seat beside her and asked, "Can I buy a bowl of noodles?"
Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi smiled and said, "Sure. A crystal core for a bowl."
Nodding at her words, Cheng Yue took out some crystal cores from his backpack and said, "Give me five bowls first."
Jiao Lizhi accepted the crystal cores and took out a large basin from her space. She scooped five big ladles of noodles and added ten dumplings and five sausages before handing it to him.
Looking at the generous portion, Cheng Yue was satisfied. Using the chopsticks handed to him by Jiao Lizhi, he started eating.
Not long after, the members finally finished and joined them for dinner. Sitting across from them, Pei Yixie would stare at the Cheng brothers once in a while.
Compared to Cheng Rui, whose thoughts were so random that she could hardly follow them, Cheng Yue's head was filled with food and how to laze around.
After dinner, the members took turns standing guard while Pei Yixie went to find Jin Xuyan.
Seeing her coming, Jin Xuyan asked, "How is it?"
Taking a seat beside him, Pei Yixie replied, "Brother, the one called Ah Yue only thought about food and how to sleep more. As for the other one, he wants to follow us."
"Do you know what their reason is?" Jin Xuyan asked.
