Apocalypse Arrival - Chapter 56

Gao Yan also noticed that Chu Qianxun’s attitude toward Ye Peitian was somewhat subtle, so she closed her mouth and didn’t say much.

While the two were talking, someone knocked on the door outside.

Gan Xiaodan, who was sweeping debris in the living room, opened the door.

Ye Peitian stood at the door, with an extra-large plastic bucket in front of him.

This bucket which was half his height was filled with water. Ordinary people could never lift it.

Even a first-order ability holder like Ye Peitian sweated when he lifted it upstairs.

“Did you fetch water for us? Thank you so much,” Gan Xiaodan was very happy and warmly greeted Ye Peitian to enter the apartment.

Ye Peitian didn’t say anything and silently put the bucket down. Before leaving, he glanced in Chu Qianxun’s direction.

Gan Xiaodan and Gao Yan didn’t insist on letting him in.

“This person is so handsome, but he is a bit too cold, I really can’t bear it,” Gao Yan teased.

“Yeah, he doesn’t pay much attention to us.” Gan Xiaodan looked at the door, feeling a little disappointed, “But I think he cares about Qianxun very much.”

“Do you think he likes you?” Gan Xiaodan quipped Chu Qianxun.

Chu Qianxun was taken aback, “Don’t, don’t, don’t, there is no such a thing.”

“Such a big bucket of water is enough for the three of us to take a bath.” Gao Yan changed the subject, “Qianxun, would you like to take a bath first? Xiaodan and I are both stinking. We plan to go around the base, familiarize ourselves with the environment, and see if we can get a change of clothes.”

After everyone left, Chu Qianxun was left alone in the house.

She took out the remaining two second-order crystal cores.

Even the crystal cores of the same level should not be taken too frequently.

Therefore, Chu Qianxun carefully used the second-order crystal cores separately.

There was a familiar and strange feeling in the body, and all aspects of the body improved again.

But she was still far away from the third-order.

The higher the level, the more difficult it would be to upgrade.

In addition to taking crystal cores, fighting with demons in close combat, and repeatedly using ability in a crisis was also an effective way to improve ability.

Even during these few days of waiting in the base, Chu Qianxun didn’t want to waste time at all. She intended to go to the periphery of the base from time to time to find demons, improve her ability, and not let herself relax.

Chu Qianxun made three holes in the roof, drilled the thumb, index finger and middle finger of one hand, hung up from the ceiling and did a hundred pull-ups with one hand.

After landing, she practiced a set of fighting skills. Finally she had recovered a little sharpness. Then she used a small amount of water to clean up her sweat.

The water flows down from the mountain. It was clear and a bit cold, and it was very comfortable to wash her face.

Chu Qianxun couldn’t help thinking of the person who fetched water.

Unexpectedly, Ye Peitian turned out to be such a careful and considerate person. Chu Qianxun was a little stunned.

This time, even Gao Yan’s ability was different. She hoped Ye Peitian could also embark on a different path by himself.

After living in the base for a few days, everyone gradually became familiar with the situation there.

The largest organization in this base at present was the Holy Angel that they saw at the gate when they entered.

This organization had a medical research center in this industrial park.

After the apocalypse, the medical staff and scientific research workers inside took the initiative to help and rescue the people who came to seek refuge from the outside without any compensation, so they had a high reputation in the base.

They had attracted many believers with the slogan of working together, helping each other, and overcoming the crisis together. There were more than a dozen ability holders in the internal members.

Individual teams such as Chen Wei and Peng Haoyu basically cooperated and obeyed some arrangements of the Holy Angel.

It was precisely with the existence of such a force that the security situation in the entire base barely maintained the status quo, and was not too bad. 

Nowadays there were crystal cores in high-level objects, and news that taking them could improve power had gradually spread in the base.

Various large and small teams in the base had also begun to organize teams to hunt down demons.

Every morning, the parking lot outside the gate of the base was full of teams of various sizes.

In the evening, some teams returned with their gains in high spirits. Some were seriously injured, lost their companions, and returned to the base empty-handed. Some squads never appeared at the base ever after.

Gan Xiaodan, who came back with a big bag of things, met Chu Qianxun who had blood on her face outside the door.

Gan Xiaodan was shocked, “Qianxun, what’s wrong with you? Are you injured?”

Chu Qianxun hadn’t seen anyone in the morning for the past two days, and was often embarrassed when she came back, but she hadn’t been injured yet.

Chu Qianxun wiped the blood that almost smeared her eyes, “It doesn’t matter, it’s a small injury.”

Jiang Chengzhu’s eyes flushed and followed behind Chu Qianxun, “It’s all because of me. I went with Sister Qianxun to hunt demons, so Sister Qianxun got injured.”

Chu Qianxun rubbed his head and said nothing.

In the days to come, injuries would be the norm, and she hoped Jiang Chengzhu could adapt as soon as possible.

She cast her gaze on Gan Xiaodan’s bag, which contained food, clothes, and even a weapon.

These were valuables.

Chu Qianxun went out to hunt demons every day and had some crystal cores in her hands. It was not difficult to replace these.

But it was not easy for Gan Xiaodan to get these.

Gan Xiaodan blushed, “I went out these days and met Brother Haoyu several times, ah, that’s the person who stopped us on the first day.”

She moved her toes and lowered her head to speak, “Brother Haoyu is actually quite nice. He takes care of me very much. He also said that he was wrong that day and asked me to apologize to you.”
