Influenced by Su Ling, Gu Shangse, in addition to alternating practice of his lightning and fire abilities, also practiced telepathy.
It was the same as always; as long as he willed it, he could hear the inner voices of those around him.
But he absolutely could not hear Su Ling's inner voice.
Between him and Su Ling, it was as if a great wall had been erected, isolating them.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not hear even the slightest stir.
Of course, he didn't intentionally listen to others' inner thoughts.
It was simply a necessary step for the advancement of his ability training.
In the beginning, he couldn't use this telepathy skillfully. All sorts of voices converged in his ears, making his head feel like it would explode. Later, through exploration, he gradually learned to control it.
Now he was adept at it, and unless he wanted to, he wouldn't hear what he shouldn't.
In short, he could only hear when he wanted to; otherwise, he couldn't.
Gu Shangse thought that perhaps it was because Su Ling was too strong that he couldn't hear her voice.
So, was that truly the case?
While Su Ling and the others were fighting zombies, on the other side, it was Rao Beichen and his two companions.
Rao Beichen stood in the courtyard, holding a telescope. After confirming the city ahead, he lowered the telescope and looked at Wen Shangqi.
After a night of adjustment and rest, the wounds on this person had completely healed, leaving not a single scar.
He hadn't asked, but he could probably guess that it was the effect of the devouring ability.
He sat down on an empty chair next to Wen Shangqi, crossed his legs, and handed him the telescope. "Beyond this plain and further ahead, the city visible through the telescope is where my sister and I parted ways with Su Ling and the others."
"I hope we're lucky enough to meet Su Ling and the others when we pass through that city and reach Lucheng."
Knowing that Su Ling and the others were heading to Lucheng, Rao Beichen's mobile house had been moving almost the entire night.
The feedback from moving all night was that they were getting closer and closer to Su Ling and the others, and their crystal cores were almost depleted.
They hoped to hold on until they reached Lucheng, met Su Ling and the others, took a break, prepared some crystal cores, and then continued their journey!
However, he could also produce crystal cores himself, and their quality was higher than those found in zombie heads.
Thinking this, Rao Beichen suddenly became less worried.
Wen Shangqi took the telescope and looked into the distance. On the horizon, there was the outline of a city.
Taking the telescope away, Wen Shangqi gazed at the vast, boundless plain and lakes before him, his mind filled with scenes from his dreams.
That long black hair reaching her waist, that fair, oval face, those watery eyes, and that gentle voice...
He thought he was obsessed, to be so infatuated with someone from a dream.
Wen Shangqi returned the telescope to Rao Beichen. After the latter took it, he asked, "Are the crystal cores running out?"
Rao Beichen had just put down the telescope when he heard this and looked at Wen Shangqi. "How did you know?"
Wen Shangqi didn't answer but countered, "What do you think?"
Rao Beichen stared at Wen Shangqi for a moment, then blurted out, "Damn it. Just tell me, how many abilities do you possess?"
"I don't know." After answering Rao Beichen, Wen Shangqi turned his head and looked at Rao Can, who was working diligently over there. "Whatever she can do, I can too."
At that critical moment of life and death, he had devoured everything to his use; he didn't know how many abilities he had absorbed.
"Since you're short, you must need it especially." As Wen Shangqi spoke, he threw a bulging bag to Rao Beichen.
Rao Beichen's heart skipped a beat. He opened the bag, which was full of crystal cores.
