Chapter 140: Chapter 140: The Harvest of Antique Cityn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Guo Yang and Su Jin’s family also cleaned many villas in the villa area today, but because there were few mutated zombies inside the villas, they only harvested some ordinary Crystal Cores.

However, thanks to Liao Yifan, Guo Yang and the others even discovered a big surprise, in a row next to the most remote part of the villa area, they found a small convenience store, and it was not clear if it was because the rolling door of the convenience store was locked from the inside, but no one had found this place.

Following Mao Qiqi’s reminder, Xue Wanyi used the Wind Blade to deal with a zombie locked inside the convenience store, and after that, they found that everything in the store was intact, except for a few opened bags of snacks and bread, the middle aisles and the surrounding shelves were packed full of supplies!

“Great, this is really an unexpected joy,” Lu Guanhai also stopped fooling around with Nie Qing and came in, marveling.

“It must have been the shop owner who locked the door, but he didn’t expect that he would turn into a zombie himself,” Guo Yang analyzed, looking at some scattered snacks on the floor.

Just now he had angered Liao Yifan, and as a result had been chased around by Liao Yifan, without expecting to run into this convenience store at the fringe of the area. At that time, they were not sure if there were any goods inside, so they called everyone else over, and unexpectedly, the supplies were still all there!

Su Jin wasn’t here, so these supplies could only be collected by Guo Yang.

However, no one said anything, after all, they were all in the same team, and to them, it didn’t matter who collected the supplies, and Su Jin’s family didn’t care much about these resources, as they were still worrying about how to consume what they had in their Space.

When Su Jin and Lu Hao returned in the afternoon, the others had also finished their tasks for the day and were resting at home. Seeing the two return, Lin Xiuyuan had already run up to tell them about their finds of the day.

“A convenience store? There’s such a thing here?” Su Jin pondered, but then thought it was normal, considering how big the villa area was. If there were no shops, it would be inconvenient for residents to shop.

“Maybe there are other shops,” Lu Hao speculated.

“Just don’t know if other shops have been emptied out, we’ll take a few more detours tomorrow to look around,” Guo Yang was still a bit tired at this time, emptying a shop had drained him, feeling like his body was hollowed out, as collecting items consumed a lot of his Special Ability.

“By the way Su Jin, Captain Lu, how was your day? Did you find any useful weapons?” Liao Yifan was particularly interested in this.

Su Jin smiled and said, “Found some, quite a few actually.”

Then, she gestured with one hand on the living room’s open space, laying out all the things they had collected today.

Suddenly, the open space was filled with a pile of antiquated cold weapons, and then Su Jin took out the Tang Sword specifically for Lu Hao and handed it to him.

This Tang Sword had been hung by the owner of an antique shop right in the middle of the store’s wall, initially, she had thought it was a decorative piece, but when Lu Hao saw it, he went straight over to take the sword down.

The sword’s sheath was very beautiful, with a vermilion base adorned with evenly spaced copper-colored patterns. Upon closer inspection, the patterns bore ancient characters that they couldn’t understand, and the handle was inlaid with a green jade stone framed in aged bronze. No wonder Su Jin had mistaken it for a decorative item, as the Tang Sword really did look impressive.

Lu Hao drew the Tang Sword from its sheath, and at that moment, two words appeared in everyone’s mind in the room: fine sword!

Nie Qing was initially still examining the sheath closely, even he couldn’t understand the ancient characters on it, but he was immediately dazzled by the Tang Sword that Lu Hao had drawn.

“This, this is a treasure of a blade!” Nie Qing exclaimed, not mentioning the appearance, but just the craftsmanship of this blade is very eye-catching, and although it seems that no one has used it for a long time, the blade still remains flawless, reflecting a cool light in the vast living room.

“Uncle Nie, is this a knife? It looks more like a sword from TV dramas, doesn’t it?” Lin Xiuyuan felt that the kind of blade Su Jin talked about, looked just like the swords people use in TV dramas.

“No, this is indeed a knife. The so-called Tang knives and Han swords, although swords became more popular later, this type of blade, compared to the balanced sword, is more like a ferocious warrior, suitable for slaying and chopping, emphasizing a fatal strike,” Nie Qing continued, caressing the blade, “Knives and swords differ, but a good knife can cut through famous swords!”

Su Jin leaned over to pick up a sword and explained to Lin Xiuyuan, “Actually, the distinction between swords and knives is simple, knives have a single edge, while swords have double edges, this one is a sword.”

So that was it. Everyone nodded in understanding, anyway, the crimson Tang knife sounded very impressive.

“Huh, what kind of weapon is this?” Guo Yang picked up a wooden box off the ground and asked, opening it to find a box of iron needles! Each needle was as long as a palm, tapering from thick to thin, designed for easier handling of the lower part.

“This must be some kind of hidden weapon, I thought it might be useful for my uncle, so I just took it,” Su Jin said, not very familiar with these cold weapons but adhering to the principle that not taking them would be a waste, she swept them all up with a wave of her hand.

Mao Zhihang also took a needle and examined it, trying to control the iron needle with his Metal Element Ability. The needle slowly hovered in the air and then swiftly pierced into the wooden door frame at the edge of the wall.

“Not bad, it’s just hard to control the accuracy,” Mao Zhihang said, as he was still a bit off-target.

“It looks really impressive, can you lend me a few to play with?” Guo Yang seemed very interested in these needles.

“Sure, my Metal Element can also produce these needles, so feel free to play with them, don’t worry about wasting them,” Mao Zhihang told Guo Yang, and after all, the things Su Jin brought back were meant to enhance everyone’s strength.

“By the way, Guo Yang, these are for you.”

Su Jin remembered the “gifts” she brought back for Guo Yang, and so a pile of rocks and jade blocks appeared in front of Guo Yang.

“…”

Seeing these items, Guo Yang instantly felt somewhat speechless; why were everyone else’s weapons so cool, and he could only use some big rocks? However, these rocks currently suited him, as he had also experimented with the combat method Su Jin talked about, which involved throwing various things from space to hit zombies. It just looked too silly, that’s all.

“Thanks a lot, lil’ sis,”

Guo Yang silently vowed in his heart; he was determined to invent a really cool and dazzling combat method.

Special Abilities in the Apocalypse varied widely, and though each element had some standard methods of attack, every Special Ability user could actually find the most suitable attack or defense method for themselves, it just required the users to research it themselves.

So, after hearing Su Jin and Captain Lu discussing the events they encountered today at the dinner table, Lin Cheng silently took note. Can Earth Element burrow into the ground? He’d try that next time.
