Immortal in The Apocalypse

Hearing Ren Yuan’s explanation, Wei Bai’s eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Then we should seize this opportunity and increase our abilities as much as possible. If we can really improve our abilities through breathing, we can save a lot of crystal nucleus."

As soon as these words came out, the members of the Ming Wei mercenary Squad nodded in agreement. After receiving the news that a high rank zombie killed almost everyone in the Red Tiger mercenary squad, everyone was rushing to upgrade their ability levels.

Because of this, a lot of supernatural beings have no choice but to accept the job of building a wall to earn food and water since they used all of their crystal nucleus to level up their abilities.

If what their captain said is true, then they must seize this opportunity and improve their abilities as much as possible before this strange phenomenon disappears. Depending on how much their abilities are improved, they can save some crystal nucleus to buy food and water in the future.

With this in mind, the members of the Ming Wei mercenary squad continue to work. Seeing how excited his squad members were, Ren Yuan was satisfied and continued to melt the black ore. In this way, they were all training their bodies unknowingly while absorbing the divine energy trapped by the barrier around the resort area.

While the Ming Wei mercenary squad was working hard to earn food and train their abilities, Meng Zhelan and Wen Na were resting after working for more than four hours.

Meng Zhelan took out two biscuits from her backpack, handed one biscuit to her best friend, and said, "Na Na, this is our last food. We have to work hard today so we can save some food for tomorrow’s breakfast."

Wen Na nodded, took the biscuit, and chewed it slowly. After a moment of silence, she suddenly sighed and said, "I still don’t understand why Yue Yue and Yuyan suddenly left our team. Did we do something that wronged them?"

Looking at her sad and confused face, Meng Zhelan patted her shoulder and said, "Na Na, we didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just that... we were too weak and burdened Yue Yue and Yuyan."

After saying that, Meng Zhelan looked up at the sky covered by dust and said with a smile: "This is also a good thing since we can live at our own pace now. I think the most important thing in life is to be grateful. Since we can live peacefully now, this is enough."

After Wen Na listened to Meng Zhelan’s words, she looked at the dusty sky. Thinking about how tired they were every day when they were in the same team as Han Xinyue and Zhuo Yuyan, Wen Na was actually very satisfied with her current life. She and Meng Zhelan no longer have to work for others or fear that they would make a mistake, and finally have time to live for themselves.

With this in mind, Wen Na finished eating the cookies and said, "You are right. I also think our life now is better and happier than before. Although we don’t have enough to eat, we can live for ourselves. This is more than enough for me."

After saying that, she stood up and stretched her body. A few seconds later, Wen Na suddenly asked, "Meng Meng, how long have we rested?"

Meng Zhelan looked at her and replied: "A few minutes at most. Why do you ask this?"

Wen Na frowned slightly and said, "I feel that my body is not sore anymore. What about you?"

Meng Zhelan stood up, moved her body, looked at Wen Na with wide eyes, and said, "My muscles are not sore anymore. Even my headache is gone."

As soon as she said this, the two of them heard a group of people not far away discussing the same matter. Looking at the excited people, Wen Na and Meng Zhelan exchanged glances.

Wen Na thought for a moment and said seriously: "Meng Meng, I will continue to build the wall. You can try to produce as much water as you can now. It seems that something is happening here, which is a good thing for us."

Hearing what she said, Meng Zhelan nodded and quickly took out a few empty bottles from their backpack. Without wasting any more time, she used her abilities and started filling those empty bottles one by one.

Twenty minutes later, Meng Zhelan began to feel dizzy, headache and nauseated. Knowing that this was a sign of overuse of abilities, Meng Zhelan rubbed her eyebrows and took a few deep breaths. After resting for a while, she felt that her headache disappeared and her mind became clearer.

Meng Zhelan was surprised by what happened and quickly closed her eyes to check her body. When she opened her eyes again, a bright smile appeared on her face. Her abilities had actually improved a little bit just now.

She clenched her hands and thought: ’It seems that Na Na is right. Something is happening now, and that’s a good thing for supernatural beings. I must seize this opportunity and improve my abilities as much as possible.’

Meng Zhelan’s eyes were firm as she continued to fill up the empty bottles with water. When the supernatural beings realize that something is happening right now and it is beneficial for them, they all work very hard to exhaust their abilities. Because of this, the progress of building walls and clearing out mutated insects is progressing very fast.

Meanwhile, Ji Yang and Tan Wei were having lunch under the canopy. When Tan Wei saw Lu Qiu’s fingers move slightly, he said, "It seems he has woken up."

Ji Yang put down his bowl of instant noodles and went to check on Lu Qiu. He lightly patted Lu Qiu’s cheek and asked, "Hey, can you hear me?"

Lu Qiu frowned slightly when he felt someone patting his cheek. Seeing that he could frown, Ji Yang stood up and said, "He should be fine now."
