Chapter 145 The Apocalyptic Boss Arrives (22)
Outside, snow was falling heavily, while inside, Ji Xiaosong and her teammates were eating hot pot.
After becoming a superhuman, I need several times more food every day than before.
A steaming hot pot sits in the center, and the round table is laden with all sorts of ingredients.
An Ran was the first to pick up her chopsticks, took a slice of tender beef, dipped it in the boiling red oil pot a few times, quickly scooped it out, coated it with plenty of sesame sauce, and put it in her mouth.
"Ah! This is the kind of life I wouldn't trade even for being an immortal!"
Sitting opposite him, Zhang Yu had an amazing appetite. He picked up a plate of mutton and dumped it all into the pot, causing a gasp from those around him.
"I can't wait to cook them piece by piece; my stomach is already protesting!"
At this moment, An Ran gently waved her hand, and the soup in the pot instantly began to boil more violently. The meatballs, which originally needed to be cooked for a while longer, were instantly cooked through and floated to the surface.
"Haha, with me here, everyone can eat faster!" Xiao Mei winked playfully.
Ji Xiaosong was truly amazed, realizing for the first time that water-based superpowers could be used in this way.
The meal took more than an hour, and everyone was finally about 70% full.
Ji Xiaosong then laid out various fruits and snacks on the table by the French windows, and everyone sat in a row, looking out at the blizzard.
"Xiao Song, if the snow keeps falling outside, the people living on the first and second floors will probably be completely covered by snow."
An Ran took a bite of the small banana, her face full of worry.
Ji Xiaosong nodded, "That's true. If we were to organize everyone to shovel snow now, apart from those with fire-type abilities, most of the others would probably be freezing and sneezing."
She thought for a moment, then mobilized the spiritual energy within her body, causing a faint blue light to emanate from her entire body, and wisps of water vapor began to gather around her.
The spiritual energy flowing from his fingertips spread rapidly throughout the city like a large net.
As Ji Xiaosong cast his spell, the snow piled up on the rooftops, windowsills, and roadsides began to flow slowly, as if being pushed by a pair of invisible hands.
"Look everyone, what's going on here?"
Zhang Yu pointed out the window in surprise and shouted.
Everyone turned their gaze to the window, where they saw the snow accumulating on the street, gradually forming rivers of snow that rushed towards the city's drainage outlets.
The snow in the entire southern city slowly accumulated in the river and then slid into the sea.
Gu Lin looked at Ji Xiaosong and noticed that her hand was drawing intricate runes in the air, so he could roughly guess what she was doing.
He sat quietly to the side, his gaze fixed on Ji Xiaosong, his heart filled with ripples of emotion.
His little girl is always so kind and strong.
At this moment, survivors throughout Nanshi were shocked.
Mr. Li, who lives on the first floor, was originally worried about the waist-deep snow outside his window. He was thinking about how he would be able to go out now that he couldn't get supplies and he was about to go hungry.
When he saw the snow recede as if by magic, his eyes widened, his mouth gaped open, and his cane involuntarily fell to the ground.
"What... what's going on?"
He muttered to himself, then quickly opened the door. Looking at the clean streets, his eyes welled up with tears, and he kept repeating, "God has shown us!"
Wang Yue, a young mother, was holding her young child and looking out the window, worried that the heavy snow would bring more inconvenience to her life.
When she saw the snow magically flowing towards the drain, she exclaimed in surprise, "Honey, look! The snow is moving by itself!"
The child was also infected by his mother's emotions, clapping his little hands and giggling.
Wang Yue was filled with gratitude. Although she didn't know who was behind all of this, she would remember this timely kindness.
A group of people with superpowers gathered in the square, where they were discussing how to use their abilities to help the citizens shovel snow.
When they saw the changes in all the snow, they couldn't help but show their admiration and guessed that it was probably done by the people at the Yongfeng base.
After all, no one else has such great strength besides them.
One of the wind-type ability users exclaimed, "What level of ability do the people at Yongfeng Base have? While we're still worrying here, they've already easily solved the snow problem for the entire city."
Another earth-elemental ability user nodded in agreement: "Yeah, it seems we still need to work hard to improve ourselves, otherwise we won't be able to keep up with others."
Ji Xiaosong knew nothing about their affairs; she was simply doing what she could.
It was snowing all over the country, and Ji Xiaosong couldn't help but feel a little worried.
The snow in the southern part of the city has been cleared, but what about the other cities?
Is there any way to enhance the abilities of other superhumans so that they can face crises together instead of relying solely on them?
Ji Xiaosong looked out the window, frowning in thought.
Gu Lin peeled the tangerine with nimble fingers, his movements relaxed. He glanced up at Ji Xiaosong, a hint of indifference flashing in his dark eyes. He broke off a segment with his long fingers and held it to her lips, asking softly in a gentle voice, "Song'er, what are you thinking about?"
Ji Xiaosong frowned slightly, her gaze fixed on the distance. She gently bit off a segment of the mandarin orange, the sweet and sour juice spreading on her tongue, but it couldn't dispel the worries in her heart.
"I'm thinking about how to improve the abilities of those with superpowers. It's been almost two months since the apocalypse, but everyone's strength hasn't changed much. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle stronger zombies or mutated beasts in the future."
"Have you considered the crystal cores inside the zombies? I saw you use them to set up an array before, so they must have energy."
Upon hearing Gu Lin's words, the others immediately gathered around.
Zhang Yu said excitedly, "Indeed, Xiao Song, have you tried absorbing the crystal cores inside zombies? We eliminated tens of millions of zombies in Chenming City before, and the number of crystal cores we saved is countless. If it really works, we'll have a way out in the future."
An Ran squatted down, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Ji Xiaosong.
"Yes, yes, Xiao Song, how about I try to absorb the energy from the zombie crystal core?"
Ji Xiaosong didn't speak, but instead took out a crystal core of a wood-type zombie with superpowers from his spatial storage, preparing to examine it carefully.
She placed the zombie crystal core in her palm, circulated her spiritual power, and constructed a fine network of spiritual power around the core, attempting to sense the energy within.
A faint glow emanated from the surface of the crystal core, and under the illumination of spiritual energy, its internal structure gradually became clear.
Suddenly, a faint wisp of black energy seeped out from the depths of the crystal core, like a ghost in the dark night, meandering across the surface of the crystal core.
"Look everyone, there's black energy inside this crystal core!"
Ji Xiaosong gasped softly, her gaze fixed on that eerie aura.
Upon hearing this, everyone crowded closer, their faces filled with surprise and curiosity.
"This black aura looks ominous. Could there be something wrong with it?" An Ran frowned, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
Zhang Yu, however, was excited and rubbed his hands together, saying, "Who cares? Maybe this is the key to improving my strength!"
Ji Xiaosong ignored their argument, focused her energy, and transformed her spiritual power into an invisible blade, carefully cutting into the crystal core in an attempt to separate the black energy from the energy contained within it.
