Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 212: Selling Water ( 4 )

After Wei Ying and the soldiers left, Gu Shaoze said, "Mo'er, I will try to attempt a breakthrough. During the process, I need you to guard me."

Finally understanding his intention, Rong Mo'er asked, "Shaoze, will you be alright?"

"Don't worry. Now, with so many crystal cores, I will be fine," Gu Shaoze reassured her.

"Okay."

Gu Shaoze took out the water-type crystal cores and continued filling up the water tank.

When he was running out of energy, he would absorb a crystal. Since he was absorbing the same element as his ability, he only needed one crystal to fully recover his energy.

He repeated the process several times until he filled up the second tank. After he finished absorbing the crystal for the nth time, he suddenly felt the energy inside his body go out of control.

The pain of the energy tearing up his meridians was so intense that he broke out in cold sweat. Gritting his teeth, he grabbed several water-type crystal cores and continued absorbing the energy.

With a new flow of energy entering his body, he guided them to control the raging energy inside his body. The energy circled his body several times before ending up in his brain.

Standing behind him, Rong Mo'er was anxious. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails pierced her palms.

Three hours later, a wave of energy burst out from Gu Shaoze's body and

spread into the air. The next moment, he opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his pale face.

"Shaoze, how are you feeling?" Rong Mo'er asked as she walked to him.

Turning to look at her, Gu Shaoze replied, "Mo'er, I made it."

Noticing his joy, Rong Mo'er let out a sigh of relief. She hugged him and said, "You scared me. I thought something bad would happen to you."

Feeling the trembling of her body, Gu Shaoze's eyes softened. He hugged her and patted her back gently while saying, "Mo'er, I'm sorry for making you worry."

After a while, Rong Mo'er let him go and said, "It's okay, as long as you are fine." Now that he had reached level one, Gu Shaoze's energy pool had increased more than threefold. Now, he could create 1,000 liters of water before he ran out of energy.

To recover his energy, he needed to use five transparent crystal cores or two water-type crystal cores. If he didn't use the crystal cores, then he would have to rest for seven hours to fully recover.

While his strength increased, the time needed to recover after overuse of his energy also increased. But he gladly endured the pain as long as he could be stronger.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, he finally finished filling up all the water tanks. When the two of them came out, one of the soldiers came over and asked, "Comrade, do you want to go back first and return tomorrow?"

Gu Shaoze shook his head and said, "I have finished filling up the water tanks. So, I won't come back tomorrow."

After he finished his words, he left with Rong Mo'er, leaving the soldier looking at their backs dazedly. It took the soldier a while to regain his senses and go to report this matter to Wei Ying.

Early the next morning, the news of a water-type ability-user selling water to the Eagle Team at a low price reached the higher-ups.

After investigating the matter, the Colonel sent two of his people to invite Gu Shaoze and Rong Mo'er for a chat. So, when the sun had just risen on the eastern horizon, there was a knock on their door.

The two of them lived in the same room while sharing the house with four other people. All of them were ability users, so they didn't have to squeeze into a small house with too many occupants.

At this moment, they were having breakfast in the living room. Gu Shaoze glanced at his girlfriend and said, "I will go see who it is."

Rong Mo'er nodded and stored their breakfast inside their room.

Opening the door, he saw two soldiers outside and asked, "Comrades, who are you looking for?"

"Comrade, we are looking for Gu Shaoze and Rong Mo'er. Please call them for us," one of the soldiers said.

Hearing this, Gu Shaoze asked again, "Why are you looking for them?"

The soldier observed him for a moment before asking, "Are you Comrade Gu Shaoze?"

"Well, that's me."

When they heard this, the soldiers saluted him and said, "Comrade Gu Shaoze, our Colonel is inviting you and your partner to have breakfast together. Please come with us."

Just then, Rong Mo'er came out and said, "Sure, please lead the way."

Since his girlfriend had already made the decision, Gu Shaoze simply followed her lead. The two of them boarded the military car and left the house under the envious gazes of the other ability-users living with them. Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the only hotel in the area. The hotel had ten floors, and solar panels were installed on the building to provide electricity. "Comrades, this way please," the soldier said as he walked toward the elevator. It took them several minutes to reach the top floor, which was used as the higher-ups' offices and meeting rooms. As they walked toward the Colonel's office, they passed several people in the hallway.

Judging from their gazes, Gu Shaoze was sure that this invitation wasn't as simple as having breakfast together.

As he suspected, when the door of the office was opened, he saw that-besides the Colonel-Pei Yijun and his team were also present. Several military officers

were there as well, including Wei Ying.

The moment they entered, the Colonel stood up and greeted them with a smile. "Comrade Gu, Comrade Rong, the two of you are finally here. Please, have a

scat."

Nodding at everyone, Gu Shaoze pulled out the chair beside Wei Ying and sat down. Rong Mo'er sat beside him without saying a word.

From the information they had learned yesterday, their impression of this Colonel wasn't good, and they had no intention of building a connection with

him or Pei Yijun.

Seeing their choice of seating, the Colonel's smile stiffened for a moment free𝑤ebnovel.com

before returning to normal.
