Su Ling looked at the chicken leg that had appeared in her bowl, but it was Shang Qi who echoed in her mind.
She wondered where he was at this moment, what he was doing, and if he had eaten.
Gu Shangse, seeing Su Ling staring at the chicken leg blankly, spoke up, "What's wrong?"
Su Ling shook her head at the sound, picked up the chicken leg, took a bite, and buried her head in eating without a word.
Sharing the chicken leg back with Gu Shangse was unrealistic.
She had already touched her noodles, and it would be impolite and inappropriate to put it back.
After breakfast, the castle was already approaching the new city.
Under Su Ling's control, the castle slowly descended, and the door opened.
Su Ling and the others disembarked from the castle, carrying their bicycles and backpacks, standing on an open area.
As Su Ling and the others emerged from the castle, the castle door slowly closed. Then, Gu Shangse and the others watched as the castle became transparent and merged directly with the air.
The only one who could see the castle and sense its presence was Su Ling.
While Su Ling and the others were searching for supplies in the main city, the castle would become virtual.
This was done to prevent it from being coveted or targeted.
Of course, the castle would not remain stationary; it would move according to Su Ling's will.
Basically, wherever Su Ling went, the mobile castle would follow, though no one but Su Ling knew.
Su Ling sat on her bicycle and looked at Gu Shangse and the others, "There are seven of us: six adults, one child, and a dog. We won't move together; we'll split up into groups of three."
Su Ling's first choice, of course, was Sister Na and Hanhan.
She had been waiting for them, mother and daughter, and naturally, she had to protect them.
As for Gu Shangse, he would naturally go wherever Su Ling went.
So, Jiang Jiang and the other two exchanged glances. The skinny one spoke up, "Then Fatty, Jiang Jiang, and I will form a group of three. We'll agree on a place, and we'll meet up at the appointed time."
Su Ling looked at the straight avenue leading to the main city and narrowed her eyes slightly, "Under that iconic building will be our rendezvous point. Everyone, be careful, be cautious, and don't act recklessly. The zombies after the heavy rain have mutated and evolved."
After giving clear instructions, Su Ling and the others split up and set off in two groups.
Su Ling knew that Sister Na had awakened earth-elemental abilities. Along the way, while keeping an eye on their surroundings, she explained to Sister Na how to use crystal cores and how to use her abilities to protect herself and become a weapon for killing zombies during combat.
Sister Na's earth-elemental ability seemed weak, but in reality, it was very useful and significant.
It could promote plant growth, produce soil, and in later stages, even erect earth walls for self-protection.
In short, all abilities, their true power and uniqueness were only revealed in the later stages.
Upon entering the city, Su Ling and the others significantly slowed down. There were many zombies wandering around.
Su Ling rode her bicycle with one hand, decapitating zombies with a swift stroke, their bodies crashing to the ground.
To help Hanhan adapt to the post-apocalyptic environment, Su Ling and the others did not avoid killing zombies but allowed him to witness it.
Although the little guy was only two years old, after so long in the apocalypse, he seemed to understand everything.
He did not show fear when he saw the zombie's head being severed and falling to the ground. Instead, he stared with wide eyes, curiously watching Su Ling rummaging through the zombie's head with her knife, and then digging out a white crystal core from a pile of brain matter.
Hanhan, being a child, was the most curious.
Seeing Su Ling dig out a white crystal core, he also wanted one. So, he looked at Sister Na and said, "Mom, I want to dig for stones too."
Just as Sister Na had killed a zombie and was preparing to find its crystal core, she heard Hanhan's words. She lifted Hanhan off the bicycle, handed him a knife, and encouraged him, "Go dig."
