I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 952 - 1040: Escaping Danger with Abundant Gains

Chapter 952: Chapter 1040: Escaping Danger with Abundant Gains

"Oh, this method is good."

"At worst, we both end up useless, then we’ll just have a shootout with hot weapons."

"By the way, we still have some Power Users who aren’t affected by the pink energy."

The group considered several plans. In short, whatever the enemy has, they also have, so there was no need to be overly afraid. Besides, they still had some secret weapons that hadn’t been used yet.

However, Jing Shu didn’t give up on researching Dark Energy. She found the four-eyed boy because he had a keen ability to sense energy. Whether the eyes on his head could emit laser energy all depended on his own ability.

One could say that the four-eyed boy was a typical representative of ability users.

Although the four-eyed boy didn’t know why Captain Jing Shu was being so secretive, the captain mentioned they would have nang-kang roasted buns for lunch.

As a person from Yangcheng who hadn’t tasted such things from the Northwest, he was very eager, so he let Jing Shu experiment on him.

Jing Shu experimented on him several times, with various energy combinations, making the four-eyed boy sometimes shoot out four laser beams, sometimes completely wilt, and sometimes feel completely powerless. He didn’t know where Jing Shu got so much energy from.

Finally, after the last test, Jing Shu recorded each experiment process, nodding in satisfaction.

Jing Shu patted the exhausted four-eyed boy and praised him, "Not bad, you handsome lad, you gave me some very accurate experimental data. Eat more at lunch."

"Hey!!" the four-eyed boy exclaimed loudly.

Given that the group finally found Energy Crystals in the desert, once the Energy Power was collected sufficiently, this world, lacking energy support, would return to normal. They wouldn’t even need to find an exit; they could just dig in.

So, this was great news, worth celebrating. What’s more, Jing Shu could purchase some of these energies with Contribution Points.

Her space upgrade energy was also in place, and next, the Magic Cube Space upgrade was certain. Jing Shu was naturally happy and decided to make something delicious.

Coincidentally, in this scorching desert, making tandoor-roasted buns would be quite thrilling.

All they needed was a simple sand pit, heat the tandoor red-hot, and then Jing Shu personally rolled the butter puff pastry dough, stuffed it with fragrant filling made of meat, onion, and pepper, and then shaped them into buns, sticking them to the tandoor.

After forty minutes, the aroma of the roasted dough and meat wafted far away.

Everyone watched eagerly, unconsciously swallowing their saliva.

This was the last bit of meat from Captain Jing Shu’s Hulk stash, but Captain Jing Shu selflessly used up all her remaining meat to make buns, providing everyone with an extra meal.

Touched.

Tears of emotion trickled down their mouths unconsciously.

Jing Shu took out the roasted buns, and with one bite, the buttery aroma of the crispy outer layer combined with the pepper-spiced savory filling exploded.

Delicious, truly delicious.

Everyone got a roasted bun.

The bun, as big as a fist, despite having some charred black spots on the crust, was not wasted by anyone, and every bit was consumed.

After baking the buns, Jing Shu also made a few sesame nang and spicy skin nang, as well as rose nang.

Having not baked nang for a long time, her skills were rusty, but fortunately, the baked nang turned out thin in the middle, crisp in texture, thick and soft at the edges, creating a rich flavor combined with various fillings.

Jing Shu took a bite of the spicy skin nang, followed by a bite of roasted meat from her Hulk stash.

Jing Shu devoured dozens of skewers of roasted meat and several nangs, only then did she sip a mouthful of icy Kvas. Ah, refreshing in this hot desert!

This meal left everyone extremely satisfied and once again recognized Jing Shu’s cooking skills—truly amazing! One bite and silence follows.

Jing Shu also baked lots of nangs; they’re delicious hot, still good cold, and after a few days they become crispy snacks, convenient and practical. Old Zhou, being older, didn’t have a great appetite, and some pastries on the road were good for his stomach.

For seven consecutive days.

The Huaxia Team turned the area of several football fields upside down, recovering all the Energy Crystals. Though it was a lot, it couldn’t compare with the energy from Mirror South Sea, given that this small space was only a few football fields big, meaning the energy would be limited.

However, even so, Jing Shu was very satisfied because she felt that after the space absorbed the pink energy, it was significantly more saturated.

Combined with her methods, she figured she could probably upgrade again before returning to Huaxia!

That would be perfect!

Realistically, by the fifth day, the environment around the desert started to change, and the group no longer felt any suffocation, suggesting a hole had appeared.

But Old Zhou said, "It’s not easy to come across this pink energy; everyone, dig it all out before leaving, don’t leave a single bit of energy behind!"

So, everyone worked even harder, searching for pink energy day and night, almost tirelessly.

Haha, it’s not that everyone is so dedicated; it’s just that every 10 grams of energy turned in earns 100 Contribution Points.

Isn’t it like picking money off the ground? Skilled Power Users could gather several hundred grams a day, and the more adept ones could even collect thousands of grams, which meant thousands of Contribution Points in no time, who could resist that?

So, in just 7 days, the whole small space’s pink energy was completely harvested.

This time, the group didn’t even have to look for an exit, as many familiar faces gradually appeared around them.

Code Seven was guarding them with another dark team.

Seeing the large group slowly emerge, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The past few days, Code Seven had been under immense pressure, unlike Jing Shu and the others who were eating well inside; he was too worried to sleep.

After all, inside wasn’t just Zhang Lang, who could sustain millions of national treasures, but also national-level nuclear bomb backup like Old Zhou, Jing Shu who was S-rank, and other national elite Power Users. If they were all lost inside—

The loss to the country would be immense!

Fortunately!

Code Seven thought, the people inside must be under a lot of pressure, right? After all, trapped in there must have been nerve-wracking for them.

He wanted to go comfort them and said, "I cooked some porridge for everyone to calm the nerves—"

"Burp~"

"Burp~~"

One, two, several satiated burps echoed in a row.

Code Seven was stunned, and then he looked at Old Zhou. He thought Old Zhou, responsible for leading inside, must have had it tough—but saw Old Zhou looking rosy and having gained a lot of weight, with oil stains at the corner of his mouth and even a piece of spicy skin—
