Chapter 172 Flying on a Sword
Chen Pei knew most of the salt market like the back of his hand, so he specifically recommended several places suitable for hunting.
The top choice is the city center commercial street, where there are the most high-rise buildings and the highest concentration of "building motley crew".
The second preferred choice is the ZF Building, which is located in the southern part of Yanshi City. It has many office buildings and is also a place that [Lou Mi] likes to visit.
Xu Si and his group naturally chose the government building, even though the commercial center here wasn't as large as the city center.
However, there were still quite a few, and they were relatively concentrated, and Chen Pei had not yet plundered them.
Most importantly, the number of [Lou Mi] here is not particularly large, making hunting relatively easy.
"It's settled then. We'll set up an ambush at the government building tomorrow."
Chen Pei, Su Su, and Ta Shan had no objections; in fact, they were quite eager to try.
Fu Xiaojian and Chen Pei then discussed and decided on the hiding place for the convoy.
Actually, that civil defense shelter was quite suitable today; apart from the lack of a light source, it had almost no drawbacks.
However, since a cunning rabbit has multiple burrows, Fu Xiaojian still inquired about two more places.
Even if you are blocked by the "lou mi" (a type of building), there's no need to panic.
The convoy spent a relatively peaceful night at the theater.
After the fire gradually died down, everyone except Jiang Li and Li Miao, who were on night watch, took the opportunity to rest and conserve their energy for the next day's hunting and resource gathering.
Xu Si leaned back in his seat, not falling asleep immediately, his consciousness sinking into the depths of the new sequence, carefully experiencing the changes brought about by the "Star Hub".
The Star Pulse's perception network covers an area of nearly a kilometer around the theater, a distance perfectly suited to his extraordinary energy expenditure.
It won't put too much strain on his fighting ability.
With the latest stellar pulse perception, every minute energy fluctuation and every wisp of water mist around him was clearly reflected in his consciousness, as if he possessed countless invisible eyes.
Just like the vision of spiritual touch that Xiao Luo shared with him back then.
While not quite as refined, it is nearly identical.
Most importantly, it's mine, and I don't need to share it with Xiao Luo, which is just awesome.
This sense of control is captivating!
However, the overwhelming amount of information still made his brain feel a bit overheated.
Too much information can make it difficult for him to concentrate during battle, so he is trying his best to adapt to this feeling.
He needs to practice precise "filtering" and "focusing," which is not easy, but worth the effort.
As for directly lowering the "image quality" of Star Pulse, that would be putting the cart before the horse.
On the other side, Su Su leaned back in the pickup truck seat, closed her eyes and regulated her breathing. Dark golden energy flowed around her, and her increasingly sharp aura clearly indicated that she was preparing for tomorrow's battle.
The little girl, sprawled out on her back in the back seat, had clearly forgotten the humiliation that had just occurred.
Tashan was snoring loudly at the same time. His tendency to sleep always paid off at the right time, and there was absolutely no need to worry about tomorrow's battle.
He was destined to be the most resilient man.
Chen Pei and Tang Jinxiu stayed in their spacious RV.
Tang Jinxiu was still somewhat weak, but her mental state had improved a lot. She was talking to Chen Pei in a low voice. The past few days, which had caused her mental anguish, felt like an eternity.
Chen Pei listened quietly, recalling everything that had happened today, and a slight smile crept onto his lips, as if something was different!
Tang Jinxiu felt the same way.
It seemed noisier, it seemed more tiring, and they couldn't help but indulge in this feeling.
They no longer need to talk only to each other.
This is both a burden and a liberation.
The night rain pattered down, just like the leisurely passing of time.
After the first person in the convoy woke up, the others gradually woke up as well. The biological clocks that hadn't been established before the apocalypse were now as precise as alarm clocks.
The convoy moved swiftly and in an orderly fashion, aiming to return to the air-raid shelter from yesterday before the [Lou Mi] came to feed.
Xu Si and his companions also needed to prepare for the hunt.
"Is everything ready?" Fu Xiaojian stood beside the Mengshi vehicle, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
Xu Si, Su Su, Ta Shan, and Chen Pei nodded.
"The hunting team is proceeding as planned, targeting the government building in the south of the city."
"The search team consists of myself, Shao Bing, Wang Hu, and Li Miao. We'll be waiting for you at the air-raid shelter from yesterday!"
"Don't worry! I'll use the Ten Thousand Snakes to guide you!" Chen Pei reassured him.
As the convoy approached the south of the city, it split into two groups, the low growl of the engines being suppressed to a minimum in the rain.
Chen Pei, in the form of countless "water snakes," silently swam ahead, guiding the path for both teams simultaneously.
Su Su and Ta Shan are sitting in Xu Si's "Conqueror".
The striking scarlet color resembled a lone warrior heading straight towards the government building area in the south of the city.
The silhouette of the city outside the car window resembled a crouching behemoth, glaring menacingly.
Those high-rise buildings, licked smooth to an excessive degree, now appeared particularly eerie.
"Knife, you've really become a nouveau riche! This stuff is enough to last until the New Year!"
Looking at the back of Xu Si's car, which was piled high with supplies, Ta Shan couldn't help but feel envious.
No wonder he doesn't mind taking out dozens of boxes of instant noodles; he wouldn't mind either!
He has supplies but doesn't say anything; he eats and drinks however he wants!
Su Su didn't show any particular reaction.
She and Jiao Jiao didn't consume many supplies.
"It's alright!" Xu Si casually used starlight to summon a few bottles of cola, chilled them, and handed them to the two of them.
They even threw a bottle out the window, which was immediately swallowed by a water snake and disappeared.
The Rain Man sequence is indeed convenient in this city.
"Mmm... That feels good!" Tashan gulped it all down in one go.
He didn't like drinking much before the apocalypse, but it's a different story after the apocalypse.
Soon, guided by the water snake, a magnificent building appeared before Xu Si's eyes.
Just by looking at the style, you can tell it's a government building; its main feature is its commanding view of the surrounding area.
There is no taller building within a radius of several hundred meters.
This is one of the city's central areas!
Furthermore, the open space in front of the government building is also very suitable for combat.
The massive building was licked clean, it seems [Lou Mi] really likes this place, this trip was definitely worthwhile.
Xu Si chose a slightly remote neighborhood to stop the Conqueror.
If we park directly at the government building, we might get caught in the crossfire.
Then Xu Si used Star Guide to wrap the [Sword of Punishment] and experienced flying on the sword.
It's a pity that Xingyin can't envelop himself, otherwise he could have floated directly into the air like Wenren Jiujiang.
However, he was already quite satisfied with the result.
Chen Pei, Su Su, and Ta Shan, who were already standing on the roof of the government building, widened their eyes when they saw Xu Si flying towards them on his sword.
"It has to be a knife! How cool!" Tashan said enviously.
Flying on a sword—that's the dream of so many young people!
I never expected Xu Si to actually achieve that. It's way cooler than Wenren Jiujiang's levitation.
"Wow!" Even Chen Pei couldn't help but exclaim softly.
Only then can you discover some of his youthful spirit.
