NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 16: Manage it well in the future and help me dig up the zombie crystal nucleus
“It’s strange to say this lightly.” Cao was shocked.
Wu Ping reiterated, “Didn’t you mention your school as a natural refuge? Perfect. Bring me there, and I’ll let you manage it in the future.”
Wu Ping contemplated raising a group in this world to avoid the hassle of individually excavating zombie crystal nuclei. He believed it would enhance understanding of the world’s intelligence, given its lack of aura compared to the immortal cultivation realm, which remained his focus.
Uncomfortable staying here, Wu Ping didn’t mind potential opposition. “If anyone opposes it, I’ll kill them—no matter how many.”
Cao Ke was caught off guard but dared not question Wu Ping’s actions, considering the potential consequences. She mentioned, “There are over a hundred of them.”
Wu Ping calmly responded, “It doesn’t matter. Deal with it. Whoever disagrees, kill them and feed them to the zombies. Keep the obedient ones to manage and help me with the crystal nuclei.” Cao Ke, perplexed, agreed reluctantly.
Cao Ke, trying to avoid persecution, left with her sister and friends, only to encounter Wu Ping, who claimed to have exterminated everyone in her school. She couldn’t fathom why he entrusted her with management. Despite her confusion, Cao Ke saw it as an unexpected stroke of luck, better than their previous predicament.
Cao Ke wondered about Wu Ping’s motives. She questioned whether he wanted them to dig up zombie crystal nuclei, pondering why he didn’t handle it himself. She couldn’t comprehend his intentions but acknowledged their situation had improved.
Uninterested in the twins, Wu Ping found the stench unbearable and had no romantic thoughts towards them. Cao Ling and Xu Feifei quickly finished digging below, bringing up a bag of zombie crystal nuclei.”
In the room, Wu Ping observed the nuclei on the bed. Notably, the green ones were larger than the white ones. Retrieving a basin and a leather pot from his storage bag, he poured water into the basin and washed a zombie crystal nucleus.
Previously lacking conditions, the advent of storage bags made everything convenient, emphasising the importance of hygiene, especially when ingesting these substances. The three girls watched as Wu Ping cleaned the zombie crystal nucleus with water, having already consumed all the water themselves. Noticing the clarity of Wu Ping’s water, contrasting with the muddy water they drank earlier, he offered them a chance to drink.
Holding a kettle, Wu Ping tossed it to them casually, saying, “Divide it by yourself.”
Accepting the kettle, the three girls drank evenly. Meanwhile, Wu Ping swallowed a green zombie crystal nucleus, experiencing a more potent force than the white nucleus, which seemed almost tasteless.
Turning to the three girls, Wu Ping asked, “Are you all evolutionists?”
They nodded, somewhat hesitant to respond. Xu Feifei revealed she was a first-level evolutionary with reinforced iron bones and great strength, while Cao Ke had fire control abilities. Like her sister, Cao Ling controlled the growth of plants and trees.
Wu Ping found their abilities to be an odd combination, reminiscent of Hassi’s mom and Madara. He handed them white crystal nuclei and said, “These are for the three of you. Divide them by yourself.”
Surprised, they questioned, “These are all ours?” Wu Ping assured them, explaining the necessity of strength to manage the shelter. Afterwards, Wu Ping began devouring zombie crystal nuclei, feeling his power grow rapidly.
Not expecting such generosity, the three girls remembered the scarcity of crystal nuclei in school. Normally, the boys monopolised them, leading to potential dangers when hunting zombies. Wu Ping’s direct distribution impressed them, especially considering their lack of significant contributions.
Cao Ke paraphrased Wu Ping’s words, revealing the intention to reclaim their school from Xu Ziming. The news ignited anger within the trio, who had harboured resentment against Xu Ziming. Observing Wu Ping’s strength, especially Cao Ling, they felt a newfound sense of empowerment. After looking deeply at Wu Ping, they lowered their heads to consume the allocated zombie crystal nuclei.
