Chapter 320: Chapter 158 Jiang Shixue’s Condition_1
Hearing the girl’s crisp voice, Yu Wei and the two others felt their hearts melting!
Give it to her! Give it to her!
However, they quickly saw that the thing the girl was referring to was the Crystal Core that would enable them to become Ability Users!
Ah, this… can’t give it away!
“Fatty!”
Yu Wei immediately called out to Xu Xiaojun.
Xu Xiaojun turned around, looking somewhat puzzled.
“Ahem, that… Fatty, come here for a sec, I have something to talk to you about!”
Yu Wei eyed the Crystal Core in Fatty’s hand, almost drooling!
How could they hand over something that would make them Ability Users!
“Oh…”
Xu Xiaojun made a sound but didn’t come over right away. He wiped the stains off the Crystal Core, then slightly bent over, placing the Crystal Core in front of the girl with a simple and honest smile on his face.
“Here you go…”
The girl didn’t take it but instead looked towards Wang Tao, showing excellent manners.
Only after Wang Tao nodded did she happily take the Crystal Core and thank him very politely and ladylike.
“Thank you!”
“No, no need to thank me, this, it’s really yours…”
Xu Xiaojun hastily waved his hand.
Of course, it was obvious that the Crystal Core belonged to this strong man who killed the Rush Zombie, so giving it to them was the right thing to do.
“…”
Yu Wei and the other two were somewhat dumbfounded.
Aren’t you a fool? Giving the Crystal Core away just because she asked for it?
Wang Tao also casually took the rebar, which he had picked up on the road just moments ago.
After returning both items that rightfully belonged to them, Xu Xiaojun smiled sheepishly and then quickly returned to Yu Wei’s side.
“You, what did you call me for…”
“…”
Yu Wei wanted to curse him out, but he still depended on Xu Xiaojun to take him back, so he could only force out a smile uglier than crying, and said in a slightly reproachful whisper:
“Ahem, Fatty, how could you give the Crystal Core to someone else? It’s your trophy; you can’t just give it away because a pretty girl asked you for it…”
Tian Peng and Li Yi also wore expressions of silent bitterness.
Was that just a Crystal Core they handed over? It was an opportunity to become an Ability User!
Especially since it was a red crystal core! It was said that these had a high success rate and belonged to the type where fusion was pretty much guaranteed.
Giving away such an opportunity to become an Ability User, isn’t that just nuts!
“Ah?” Xu Xiaojun was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, “But, it, it was originally theirs…”
Hearing this, the expressions of Yu Wei and the others darkened even more.
Originally theirs? Was Fatty out of his mind?
Li Yi remembered some rumors from the camp that Fatty was a bit off in the head. He had been skeptical because, after all, this was an Ability User; could someone with a problem in the head become one? But looking at the situation now… the rumors didn’t lie!
All three of them wanted to give Xu Xiaojun a good talking to, but they also knew that now wasn’t the time for that. If another Elite Zombie showed up, they might not be so lucky.
“Let’s hurry back!”
Yu Wei said with a dark face.
“Mhm!” Xu Xiaojun first nodded and then asked with concern, “Can you all, still, walk?”
“Yes!”
Yu Wei grated out through clenched teeth. He was the strongest of the trio and had the lightest injuries.
Li Yi was next; although he was the youngest and looked frail, he was actually quite strong.
The worst injured was Tian Peng; he felt as if he had no strength left in his body and couldn’t walk any more.
Therefore, Xu Xiaojun took the initiative to carry him on his back.
Tian Peng was sullen throughout, not even uttering a word of thanks. He was still dwelling on the Crystal Core matter. If only it had been given to him, how great would that have been!
Then, Xu Xiaojun went over to Wang Tao and invited him saying:
“Um, do you, do you have a place to stay? If not, come to our camp?”
Yu Wei and the others didn’t say anything about Xu Xiaojun’s invitation because their camp was short on people, and naturally, they would want to invite any survivors they encountered.
“Alright.”
Wang Tao nodded.
“Then, then big brother, you, you follow me…”
Xu Xiaojun realized he didn’t know Wang Tao’s name, so he simply called him big brother.
“I’m Wang Tao.”
Wang Tao introduced himself. As for the girl next to him, he didn’t seem to have any intention of introducing her.
Yu Wei and Tian Peng’s gaze lingered on Wang Tao for a moment before involuntarily shifting to the girl.
After all, such a pretty and clean girl was almost extinct in this post-apocalyptic world. If she went to their camp, it would likely cause quite the commotion…
Of course, with Wang Tao’s build there, and seeing he was not an easy one to mess with, there could be some drama to watch after they got back…
The two harbored some schadenfreude.
But they quickly stopped thinking about these things that were none of their business. They were all fixated on how to get that Crystal Core back from the beautiful girl’s hands!
Especially since the girl hadn’t fused with the Crystal Core after getting it but simply played with it in her hand… it infuriated them even more; it was a sheer waste!
Steal it? Rob it? Deceive her? It seemed like it wasn’t necessarily impossible…
And the youthful Li Yi, upon seeing the girl, felt as if he had fallen in love! If she were his girlfriend, letting her play with a Crystal Core wouldn’t bother him at all. Unfortunately, there was a big guy next to her who looked like bad news…
As for Xu Xiaojun, his mind wasn’t filled with many thoughts. He vigilantly scanned the road while thinking that in the future, he too wanted to become a strong person like Wang Tao!
