Upon hearing Chu Jiangyue’s reminder, Shen Zhigui and the others responded, and their attacks became noticeably fiercer than before.
However, for Rong Zhaowen and the other two who had just awakened their powers, it was a bit hard to keep up with the rhythm.
At one point, someone almost got clawed, and if it weren’t for Chu Jiangyue’s quick vine lash, that person’s hand would probably be useless.
"You guys should go back first."
Chu Jiangyue said to Rong Zhaowen, and the vine whip in her hand multiplied from one to three, using her spiritual power to control the three vines to attack in different directions. The vines skewered the wolves and automatically rolled out the crystal cores on their return trip, perfect!
The Thunder Ability in Shen Zhigui’s hand looked small when thrown, but the impact when it landed was significantly greater than before.
The fireball in Lin Xuyuan’s hand turned into a Fire Dragon, mercilessly sweeping towards the wolf pack.
Although Jiang He had Space Ability, he recently mastered a bit of space-locking skill. Within his space-locking range, he was the master of that area, capable of slaughtering wolves invisibly.
If you observed closely, you would find that the wolves lying around Su Zhucheng were all dried up, turned into mummies due to his Water Ability.
Xie Silin had Gold Ability, skillfully manipulating golden needles. With a flick, several golden needles would dart out, taking the lives of a few wolves, although digging out the crystal cores was a bit troublesome.
The six people’s attacks varied greatly, but without exception, they were all extremely brutal.
Rong Zhaowen and his group watched from the car, their bodies covered in goosebumps.
Suddenly, they felt that Chu Jiangyue had indeed shown mercy to those two people earlier; otherwise... they might not even have a whole corpse.
Under the onslaught of Chu Jiangyue and the other five, the wolf pack was quickly dealt with, and aside from some blood inadvertently sprayed from the wolves, the six were practically unscathed.
The admiration in Rong Zhaowen and the group’s eyes was beyond words.
When Chu Jiangyue returned to the car, Rong Zhaowen eagerly spoke: "Boss Chu, I’ve awakened a Wood Element Ability too. Can I be like you in the future, killing wolf packs as if cutting vegetables?"
Seeing Chu Jiangyue using the Wood Element Ability, Rong Zhaowen felt a strong sense of substitution.
He could already imagine himself wielding three vine whips like Chu Jiangyue in the future.
"Well, it depends on individual comprehension ability, and also requires lots of practice."
In her previous life, Chu Jiangyue’s Wood Element Ability was more supportive, but in this life, she just started to explore its offensive capabilities.
"I understand. I’ll definitely work hard from now on!"
Rong Zhaowen, full of motivation, believed he would become as strong a Wood Element Ability user as Chu Jiangyue.
The three women beside them, hearing Rong Zhaowen and Chu Jiangyue discussing abilities, couldn’t help showing envy on their faces.
They also hoped to awaken powers one day, so they could have better safety while out collecting resources.
Instead of watching others harvest abundantly while they only managed to gather a few scraps.
As of now, among all three of them, the two crystal cores they had were only obtained by luck, by picking them up.
Chu Jiangyue noticed their emotions and sensibly ended the discussion about abilities with Rong Zhaowen.
Right at that moment, Shen Zhigui started driving, and Chu Jiangyue followed suit, stepping on the gas to move forward.
During the drive, the atmosphere in the car turned silent, with only the sound of Chu Jiangyue quietly driving.
The distance from here to Jianglin Hotel wasn’t very far, but even so, driving back from here would take several hours.
Chu Jiangyue hadn’t driven for an extended period herself for a while, and after a short while of doing so, she began to feel sleepy.
Driving in such a state wasn’t feasible, so Chu Jiangyue pulled the car over and sent a message in the group chat explaining her situation to Shen Zhigui and the others, indicating she needed to rest for a while.
Shen Zhigui and the others also knew her condition wasn’t suitable for driving, so they agreed with her suggestion to rest.
"Then rest for an hour. Would you like to nap in the car?"
Shen Zhigui asked Chu Jiangyue, seeking her opinion.
Chu Jiangyue nodded lethargically; her energy wasn’t quite up to the mark.
"Host, would you like me to play a song to perk you up?"
The Little Fox, standing on the back of the co-pilot seat, was eager to try.
’Can you play songs too?’
Chu Jiangyue had never tried this function.
"Of course, Host! Would you like to listen to classic oldies or modern pop hits? Or perhaps viral internet songs? Or do you want to hear interstellar classics?
Whatever you can think of, I can find it!"
The Little Fox patted its small chest proudly.
’Forget it, I just want to sleep now.’
Using songs to stay awake was less effective than taking a half-hour nap to recharge.
Rejected by Chu Jiangyue, the Little Fox was quite disappointed, drooping its tail, and leapt into her arms.
After encountering the wolf pack, Chu Jiangyue and her group continued smoothly on their journey.
Successfully, a few hours later, they returned to Jianglin Hotel.
Seeing the brightly lit Jianglin Hotel, Rong Zhaowen and the others’ eyes grew increasingly brighter, as if they really saw a glimmer of hope for survival.
For convenience, the navigation led Chu Jiangyue and the others through the safe passage entrance of City B back to Jianglin Hotel. When the car reached the hotel entrance, Chu Jiangyue even introduced Rong Zhaowen and the others to the designated crystal core collection area at Jianglin Hotel.
"Previously, the hotel was surrounded by a horde of zombies, but they couldn’t break through the hotel’s defenses and were kept out.
After the extreme cold weather, the entire zombie horde was frozen. If you don’t have any savings, try digging for crystal cores nearby before you get your Identity Card.
However, the area around the hotel has been mostly searched, so you’ll need to dig a bit further out. Although there’s regular clearing of dangerous factors around here, it’s safer to go in groups.
Additionally, for convenience, a rule here is that any zombies within a 100-meter radius of Jianglin Hotel, after having their crystal cores extracted, must be disposed of, whether by burning or dragging them away.
Failure to dispose of the bodies after extracting the crystal cores will result in a penalty, which includes a minimum 24-hour prohibition on entering the hotel, with no upper limit, depending on the severity of the situation."
Since they were new guests, Chu Jiangyue explained these precautions to them clearly, "You can share these rules with others later.
Oh, and except for me, everyone is prohibited from using powers inside Jianglin Hotel. All forms of fighting or uncivilized behavior are forbidden, including murder, robbery, theft, and voyeurism, or any behavior that violates morality and public order.
Make sure to communicate these things to others so they don’t end up punished without knowing why—it could be quite unpleasant."
