Apocalypse Arrival - Chapter 50

That day, a dozen of them brought enough weapons and drove from the Goose City base to find out if they could find and kill one of these demons and obtain its crystal core.

Unexpectedly, they were so busy making wedding dresses for others. (m. doing things for themselves that benefited others in the end) 

Usually, they were the ones who grabbed other people’s things, but now they had a taste of their own medicine.

Chu Qianxun put the five crystal cores into her pocket, and walked toward Jiang Chengzhu and others who were standing on the top of the stairs.

Jiang Chengzhu looked at her with bright eyes.

“Good job, you have improved,” Chu Qianxun praised the boy, and took Feng Qianqian’s hand, and prepared to leave.

“Hey!” Chen Wei stopped her, “We were wrong last time. We have fought side by side this time. I apologize to you, okay?”

Chen Wei removed the cigarette from his mouth, and gestured to the demons’ bodies on the stairs and his injured brothers.

Chu Qianxun glanced at him.

When she was weak, she often felt all kinds of malice from the people around her.

Now that she was strong, no matter what kind of person she was, others had subconsciously begun to show kindness to her, at least they were not willing to offend her easily.

With a flick of her finger, she threw a crystal core in front of Chen Wei.

The crystal core of the first-order demon had no effect on her. 

Since this person had put on a friendly front, Chu Qianxun was also willing to give him a bit of face.

They would arrive at the Goose City base soon, and Feng Qianqian and others might choose to settle there.

If possible, Chu Qianxun didn’t want to recruit such a wave of enemies for them.

The sky gradually darkened.

Chu Qianxun rejected Chen Wei’s invitation to travel together.

They cleared out a suite in the building for the night.

Gan Xiaodan and Gao Yan found half a bottle of liquefied gas and some rice in the kitchen, and hurriedly stewed the fragrant white porridge.

“Oh, it’s been a long time since I drank porridge. It feels like a lifetime has passed. I must drink a lot today,” Gan Xiaodan brought out a big pot of porridge.

There were no side dishes, but everyone drank the porridge, which was extremely sweet and common but seemed so precious in the apocalyptic days.

After dinner, they found some usable bedding from the building, and they laid out warm sleeping couches in the bedroom and living room.

Everyone was so happy that after camping in the wild these days, they finally got shelter from the wind and rain for the night.

Soon the room fell silent, and most of the people fell asleep.

Chu Qianxun sat on the sofa in the living room watching the night,

She had already given the two crystal cores to Feng Qianqian and Jiang Chengzhu in private.

But at this moment, she looked at Ye Peitian, who was sleeping on the ground near her, and turned the remaining two first-order crystal cores in her pocket, with a little hesitation in her heart.

Logically, she shouldn’t help Ye Peitian upgrade.

But he had exerted so much power and shed the most blood in the battle. As the actual captain, Chu Qianxun should distribute the spoils fairly.

In the end, she took out one of the crystal cores and squatted in front of Ye Peitian, “Are you unable to sleep again? This is for you, eating it will improve your power.” 

Ye Peitian looked very surprised. He saw Chu Qianxun trying to collect these things several times. He knew that it was very precious.

He stretched out his hand from the bedding, shook it, and declined, “No, I don’t need it.”

“Why don’t you need it? Everyone has a share.”

When Chu Qianxun put the crystal core into Ye Peitian’s hand, she touched his finger slightly, and found it cold.

That was a sign of excessive blood loss.

Ye Peitian was seriously injured in the daytime, but he insisted on accompanying them to deal with the demons.

It was precisely because of his ability that they successfully eliminated the five first-order demons without any casualties.

Chu Qianxun felt slightly sad.

Ye Peitian looked at the green crystal core that Chu Qianxun placed in his hand.

He was surprised, not knowing what to do.

“I thought you hated me a little bit,” his face flushed slightly, as he suddenly whispered.

Chu Qianxun felt a little guilty. This man was really keen.

But she firmly denied, “Why would I? We have all fought side by side so many times, why would you think so?”

The man’s eyes dimmed, “They said I am a demon, and sooner or later I will become like those demons and start eating people. Even my parents and brothers didn’t care about me and locked me in. I… …thought you would be afraid and hate me too.”

Chu Qianxun was a little sad. She did subconsciously treat Ye Peitian as a demon.

“Don’t think about it, you are an ability holder. Everyone has it, how can you be a demon?”

She pulled out a glow stick from her bag, folded it, and stuffed it next to Ye Peitian’s pillow, “Keep this and go to bed early.”

For safety’s sake, the room they chose to rest in was small.

Chu Qianxun’s hearing was keen, and in the silent night, she could almost hear the breathing sounds from every corner of the room.

On the ground not far from the sofa, there was a small warm yellow light.

At first, the light ball swayed occasionally.

Then gradually it stopped, quietly shining in the corner of the living room, and finally there was a steady and gentle breathing sound.

He finally fell asleep.
