After Bai Heqing accelerated the ripening of the chili peppers with her powers, she turned her attention to another spot.
Under Bai Yu Ling's watchful gaze, the eggplant also quickly bore large purple eggplants.
Next came radishes, carrots, peanuts, potatoes, onions, garlic, ginger... Bai Heqing performed like a magician for Bai Yu Ling, astonishing him so much that he clapped his hands repeatedly, expressing his surprise and amazement.
"Phew~"
Bai Heqing was tired. Her powers were depleted, and she stopped practicing them.
Turning her head slightly, Bai Heqing looked at Bai Yu Ling. "How about it, am I amazing, your big sister?"
Bai Yu Ling nodded and gave her a thumbs up. "Amazing, but Sister Su Ling is the most amazing."
"Naturally," Bai Heqing said proudly, patting Bai Yu Ling's shoulder. "Let's go, it's time for us to go kill zombies. You also need to work hard on practicing your powers, don't drag us down, understand?"
Bai Yu Ling hummed and got up, following behind Bai Heqing.
As they passed the lychee tree, he reached out, plucked a lychee, and held it in his hand.
Gu Shang Se and Sister Na had already left. Su Ling had gone to the control room and only left the castle after replenishing her crystal cores.
Emerging from the castle, Su Ling looked up at the sun overhead.
She knew that in a short while, there would be a hailstorm.
She had to complete the castle's second expansion and defensive enhancements before the hailstorm arrived.
The current castle could not withstand the hailstorm yet.
With such large, powerful, and massive hailstones falling, they would definitely break through the protective membrane.
At that time, her castle would be utterly destroyed by the hailstones, and they themselves would not escape unscathed.
She remembered that in her previous life, on their way to Lucheng with Sister Na and Han Han, they had encountered a sudden massive hailstorm.
They had thought they would be safe inside the car, but who knew that the occasional massive hailstones that fell directly dented the car roof.
Inside the car, if they hadn't been lucky, they would have been injured by the hailstones.
Later, they had driven the car to a building under the hail and run inside to escape the disaster.
By the time the hail stopped, their vehicle was wrecked.
And after the hail stopped, the sun came out, causing high temperatures, and the zombies, after a second mutation, became even more powerful.
Speaking of which, it was as if nature and heaven's will were trying to destroy humanity. In the apocalypse, hailstones that could kill and injure people and damage cars could not kill zombies or harm them; instead, they promoted their evolution and mutation, increasing the threat to humans.
Su Ling didn't have a strong sense of time, nor was her memory good enough to recall the specific time of past events.
She could only deduce that it was within a certain period, and that was all.
Although she didn't know the exact time the hailstorm would hit, preparing early put her mind at ease.
It was better than facing a natural disaster with no preparation and being completely helpless, which would truly be despair and chaos.
Su Ling's castle expansion and upgrade plan was scheduled to be carried out after they cleared the zombies in the downtown commercial street of Jiangye City, clearing a path for them to leave this internet-famous city.
When Su Ling arrived, Gu Shang Se and the others had already divided their roles and started their actions.
Just like in the morning, Su Ling continued to practice her mental powers.
She had witnessed the power of mental abilities five years into the apocalypse; they were existences that could destroy an entire team without any physical contact, simply through mental coverage. However, because these abilities demanded very high physical fitness and crystal cores from the users, strong individuals were rare.
But when one appeared, they were a king.
Su Ling wanted to become a king, to protect herself, her teammates, and the people in the castle.
The longer the apocalypse lasted, the more ability users there were, and the stronger they became.
What they needed to do was to walk the path of the strong.
