Chapter 20: Uses of the Crystal Core

uanzi's bones are good, and he will definitely grow into an excellent Beastman in the future."Excuse me, are you a messenger of the beast god"A pleasant sound came.Three people looked towards the sea..."Cough!"

A light cough interrupted Sun Wang's next words, and Wu Lianyi didn't need to turn around to know who it was.

"Eagle Wing Commander, it's you!"

Sun Wang said carelessly, then turned his head to look at Lian Yi Jie. He felt that Lian Yi Jie must have been deliberately saying that just now.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. I'm here to fly a drone and investigate the movement patterns of the zombie horde in the city."

The eagle's wings were explained in great detail.

"It's nothing, we siblings just came to get some fresh air."

Wu Lianyi also said lightly.

"Excuse me, but I heard Ms. Wu just said that you want to join the army as supernatural beings, is that true"

Eagle Wing immediately got to the point.

"Well, I do have that in mind. With the way things are going in the world, humans can only huddle together for warmth. Someone like me, with my abilities, will always shine wherever I go."

Wu Lianyi answered with great confidence.

Eagle Wing thought about it, and from their two encounters, the other party did indeed have the qualifications to say that.

"Since Ms. Wu has this intention, on behalf of the Black Hawk Special Operations Team, I invite you to join us. Would you be willing"

Sun Wang's face flashed with a hint of joy after hearing this, but he immediately retracted his expression. This matter needed to be decided by Sister Lianyi, so he would just do his part as a subordinate.

“You are a special forces unit, which means the missions you undertake are inherently high-risk. Your intelligence network should be extensive, your equipment top-notch, and your logistical support reliable—basically meeting my requirements. As long as you treat me equally, I'll give serious consideration to working with you.”

Wu Lianyi spoke slowly and deliberately.

Of course, as soon as you join the Black Hawk family, we're all brothers and sisters. Our squad has twelve people in total, divided into two smaller teams. I'm the captain of one team. If you agree, join my team.

Eagle Wing stated directly that to strengthen the team, powerful members need to join. The two of them have undeniable strength, and I believe the teammates won't object.

"Okay, I received Eagle Captain's sincerity. I will discuss with my teammates and give you a reply after."

After settling the matter, Wu Lianyi and Sun Wang left the rooftop. Eagle Wing returned to his squad after completing his task and told his comrades about the two people's situation, hoping they would be aware.

"Those two people are pretty skilled. Through these two collaborations, we haven't seen anything amiss for now. If their character and values align, we have no objections."

The deputy commander spoke on behalf of the rest of the team.

They took on an extermination mission and will be cooperating with us for a while. You should all observe them closely, after all, they will be your companions in the future.

"Good!"

The second day dawned, and the military truck arrived promptly, continuing to transport supplies. This time, they replenished the lost manpower, moving faster than yesterday. With another day, they could empty the farmers' market completely.

During that period, Sun Wang brought back some rice, noodles, and packaged instant food for Sun Yi from his journey. At least this way, Sun Yi wouldn't go hungry before they returned home.

After that, the two participated in two extermination missions, eliminating two zombie hordes of over 10,000 each and assisting in the relocation of tens of thousands of survivors. Ten days later, the two returned to the temporary resettlement point.

Wu Lianyi and Sun Wang only discovered the changes at the shelter after they turned back. Many survivors were busy building walls, encircling the entire shelter to increase its safety.

After continuously slaying zombies, the two were exhausted. After completing their mission, they returned to their rest point to recuperate. After all, they weren't made of iron. Zombies could work tirelessly, but they were human beings with blood and flesh who needed rest and meals. They still needed a balance between work and relaxation.

When the two returned to their temporary residence, they found it empty. Sun Yi was gone, and Sun Wang immediately became worried.

"Don't worry, your sister has perception abilities. As long as she doesn't leave the resettlement point, nothing will happen. You should go and ask the patrolling personnel here, they might know something."

Wu Lianyi said very calmly.

"Okay, Lianyi Jie, you rest first. I'll go find elder sister."

Sun Wang said and hurried out of the room.

Wu Lianyi was indeed a bit tired. She first went to the public bathroom to take a shower and changed out of her clothes that reeked of fishy smell. She made herself a small meal, ate and drank her fill, and then took out the nuclei she had collected over the past few days from the space.

According to the information she received, this nucleus can allow mutants to level up.

The original being, after becoming a zombie, luckily became a seventh-order zombie. However, he was ultimately tricked by Yunrou, who used a scheme of sisterly affection, into a trap. He contributed his seventh-order crystal nucleus, allowing Yunrou to become a seventh-level ability user. She gained influence in the capital base and began stirring up trouble, ultimately leading the small world to its ruin.

Holding a crystal nucleus the size of a jujube, Wu Lianyi closed her eyes and began to feel. Sure enough, she sensed a faint power within the crystal nucleus. She slightly circulated the Lei Xie Gongfa, and absorbed the power inside into her body.

Looking at the crystal nucleus crumbling in her hand, she shook her head helplessly. This amount of power entering her body was just a drop in the bucket and didn't increase her abilities much. However, something was better than nothing, so she took out a portion of the crystal nuclei from the space and began absorbing the energy within them.

After absorbing a hundred nuclei, she stopped. She needed time to digest this power, and besides, she heard the siblings from the Sun family talking.

After the door opened, two smiling faces came into view. The siblings weren't ashamed to show their resemblance, each with a dimple on their cheek when they smiled – Sun Wang on his left cheek and Sun Yi on hers.

"Ripple Sister, my sister took a temporary mission, and I found her at the wall."

Son Wang said in a flurry of words.

"You had people bring me the supplies, I received them all. You didn't come back. I am alone now and don't want to attract attention, so I took on some easy jobs."

Sun Yi immediately spoke up to explain that because she had been driven out by her uncle before, she was now walking cautiously, watching her every step.

"Well, you're right to do that. It's only been a short time since the apocalypse began, and many people haven't quite grasped what's happening yet. Once they realize the current systems have collapsed, some people's darker impulses will come out. Don't underestimate human nature."

Wu Lianyi nodded in agreement with Sun Yi's suggestion.

"Sister Lian's right!"

Over the past ten days, Sun Yi has completed her tasks and gained a lot of experience. At critical moments, she saw many people push their loved ones out to be shields.

"Sun Wang, tell your sister about the Black Hawk team, and you guys discuss it. Give me a reply tomorrow."

Wu Lianyi directly ordered.

"Good."

Son Wang nodded, pulled his older sister closer, and began whispering about joining the Black Hawk Squad.

Wu Lianyi fell asleep headfirst and didn't wake up until the sun was high in the sky the next day. She stretched lazily, then jumped down from the high bed.

"Ripples, wash up first, I'll cook you some noodles."

Sun Yi watched the ripples and immediately used a small electric stove to cook a bowl of noodles, adding beef tripe and eggs. It was quite a hearty meal.

After the meal, Sun Yi directly opened her mouth and said:

"My little buddy told me yesterday that we're both on the same page and I'm listening to you!"er lips, apparently also craving it.After entering the house and closing the door, Wen Zhao Ming quietly asked:"Did someone come to the house to pick up clothes without being seen by anyone else""Don'...
