Thinking of this, Su Ling's expression turned cold.
The phenomenon of cannibalistic doomsday had not been unheard of.
With this thought, Su Ling's eyes darkened. She quickly finished the shrimp in her hand, then grabbed a bag of spicy fish and tore it open to continue eating.
After a few bites, she looked up at the group of zombies that still needed to be cleared.
The zombies, contained by the established cordon, were staring hungrily at them, their prey.
Their ferocious faces and chilling roars sent shivers down one's spine. Survival of the fittest, an eternal truth.
Su Ling knew that although they were on the path to becoming stronger, they were far from strong enough. They needed to become even stronger.
As the mobile fortress expanded, it would attract a great deal of covetous attention, thus increasing the risk factor.
At such times, absolute strength would be needed to protect the mobile fortress and its inhabitants.
The strengthening of abilities and the addition of more reliable ability users was the most logical and conservative approach.
However, Su Ling also knew that they could enhance their abilities, pushing each awakened ability to its utmost potential.
As for the addition of more ability users, it was something to consider, but certainly not something to force or compel.
The human heart in the apocalypse was treacherous; trustworthy individuals existed, but it depended heavily on luck.
Su Ling recalled that in her previous life, upon reaching Lucheng, a survivor base had already been established there.
Innumerable ability users flocked to it, and they themselves had been tempted to join.
Later, they were denied entry because they didn't have enough supplies to enter the city, which made them abandon the idea and head to the neighboring province of Lucheng.
It was there that they encountered Shang Qi.
Recalling her thoughts, Su Ling finished the bag of spicy fish. Gu Shangse handed her a bag of spicy mushrooms.
Gu Shangse met Su Ling's gaze, "Try them, they're very good."
Su Ling took the spicy mushrooms. Gu Shangse had already thoughtfully opened the bag. She took a bite; the mushrooms were slippery and tender, both spicy and numbing, and the rich aroma of mushrooms filled her mouth. They were indeed quite good.
Seeing her enjoy them, Gu Shangse handed her another bag as she was finishing the first one. "What were you thinking about?"
Su Ling ate the spicy mushrooms, her voice calm, "We need to hurry. We should clear out the zombies here and sweep up the supplies, then head to Lucheng. It's a port city with abundant seafood resources, where we can make a fortune and also go fishing ourselves by boat."
Su Ling narrowed her eyes slightly after speaking.
However, the risk factor there was also greater, with many survivors gathered and ability users everywhere.
Gu Shangse found Su Ling's words enticing, "Do you know how to sail?"
"Yes," Su Ling replied. In her previous life, she had sailed with Shang Qi, and he had taught her.
Gu Shangse had initially assumed Su Ling wouldn't know, so he was quite surprised to hear she did, "You're a jack of all trades, good at everything."
Su Ling almost said "trained in the apocalypse," but then remembered that except for her, no one else had been reborn.
After a moment's thought, Su Ling said, "Before the apocalypse, I was bored and wandered around, exploring and playing. I learned a little bit of everything that interested me."
The two fell silent, simply enjoying the snacks in their hands.
Their combat power was truly formidable. Su Ling's entire bag of snacks was devoured by them.
Not only that, but the lychees that the skinny and fat guys carried in their bags were also shared and eaten.
After filling their stomachs, the next step was a new round of zombie-killing operations.
Su Ling had finished searching for supplies and had no shops to search, so she joined the zombie-killing team.
This time, she didn't use Phoenix Fire or the Tang sword, but rather her mental power.
She practiced covering areas with her mental power to control the zombies.
Su Ling's method was simple and brutal: she directly used her psychic abilities to make the zombies' heads explode.
