Traveling To The Last Days To Protect You

Chapter 12

Faced with such enthusiasm, Lin Tantan was quite embarrassed. It was not easy for anyone to take others in if they were not relatives or had solid reasons.

The old lady sighed: "At this time, it's not easy for anyone to help each other. Like our group of old and young, it's better to sit here and wait for someone to come to rescue, otherwise only death would await us." 

After she left, Lin Tantan went to the window and slightly opened the curtains. It was already dark outside. She had observed carefully when she came in just now. There were no zombies inside the walls of this villa, but there were probably too many people here. The smell was too strong, causing more and more zombies to gather outside the wall. 

Lin Tantan sweated in her heart; fortunately, these zombies couldn't climb the wall, otherwise it would be very dangerous.

She took a hot bath, changed into clean clothes that didn't fit very well and sat on the bed to take out the second Wood-type crystal nucleus; starting to practise again.

The energy obtained from the previous Wood-type crystal nucleus had already been used up, and her body was now empty.

The crystal nucleus was absorbed in just over half an hour. Lin Tantan let go of her hand and let the crystal nucleus fragments fall into the trash can. The energy obtained was not much, but she felt much better now.

Then she took out the Gold-type crystal nucleus.

For a moment, she was not sure whether to absorb it or not.

Ability was a thing that followed the principle of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements. So if she cultivated the Metal system, she would suppress the Wood system, which was why she didn't touch the crystal nucleus before.

However, judging from all the dangers she had experienced along the way just now, relying only on the Wood element, she would never be able to reach the North University Town smoothly tomorrow. She was not good at fighting with the Wood element at all; the function of producing vines was already very good.

Metal-type, her strongest ability after the Wood-type.

In her previous life, as a healer, she had to use Wood powers every day, so even if she tried to maintain the balance of the five systems, the Wood powers still became the strongest. It was very dangerous for one system to be dominant, so only the Gold element which was stronger to a certain extent, could be used to restrain Wood.

So she spent a lot of time practicing the Gold department. As for the other three departments, she did not have the time nor the energy to practise them specially.

After struggling for a moment, she still put the Gold-type crystal nucleus in her palm and began to practise.

The weak golden light emanated from the crystal nucleus and was absorbed into her body through her palm, but it followed a completely different trajectory from the Wood system, finally forming a perfect cycle.

As for the misty energy source in Lin Tantan's mind, the one that represented the Gold system also slowly turned. It was originally white, but it gradually became golden.

The green energy source was still spinning slowly and spontaneously, and the remaining ones that still remained silent were the red Fire element, the yellow Earth element and the black Water element. Lin Tantan guessed that the colours of the Earth and Water systems would slowly change, the Earth system would turn brown, while the Water system would turn blue.

This was different from three hundred years later. At this time, abilities were in their infancy, and there were many complex types and forms of energy. Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth were only some of the many abilities, and they did not have absolute authority.

Lin Tantan was absorbing energy while thinking about all this, when suddenly——

"Huh?" Lin Tantan discovered something unusual, the mist was very different from the energy core. The multi-system superpowers of the later generations would balance all the departments, because if a certain department became dominant, the corresponding energy core would also be particularly enlarged, resulting in the instability of the energy cores. But the mist-like energy source did not have this hidden danger, it was only a cloud of fog, no matter how it was expanded, it would not split.

In other words, she did not have to strictly abide by the principle of five-element balance in the future?

This was definitely good news, since she could completely focus on one or two series of abilities and refine them first while ignoring the others.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Lin Tantan opened her eyes, put away the crystal nucleus, got out of bed and opened the door.

It was still Mrs. Xu: "Girl, do you want to have dinner together with us?"

Hearing this, Lin Tantan realised that she was so hungry that her chest was almost pressed against her back, so she agreed immediately.

After leaving the room, there was no light in the living room outside. Only a small lamp was lit in the dining room, and the curtains were drawn tightly to ensure that no light would leak out.

The meal was indeed ready, but not many people were in the mood to eat. Hearing the roar of zombies outside and the sound of scratching and hitting the fence, who would have the mood to eat leisurely. So at the table, there were only Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu, their seven-year-old granddaughter, and two other old men.

Lin Tantan went to the rice cooker to make rice. She had good eyesight. As an outsider, she could not eat in the same bowl as others. Along with rice, she took a spoonful of tofu; not touching the vegetables.

This was the first meal Lin Tantan ate after coming to this world. The taste was average, but when one is extremely hungry, everything tastes delicious.

The old couple next to her also showed a little smile when they saw her eating happily. Mr. Xu said in a low voice: 

"Eat more if you like it." 

But then he suddenly started couphing. Mrs. Xu quickly stopped her chopsticks and patted her husband on the back. An old man next to her asked in a low voice, 

"This old illness of Old Xu has acted up again?"

"Yes." The old lady Xu said distressedly, 

"I'll get you a towel, so you can suppress your cough, we can't let the zombies outside hear noises." 

The little granddaughter of the Xu family also looked at her grandfather worriedly.

Old Master Xu waved his hand, but he couldn't suppress the cough.Lin Tantan also stopped eating, and looked at him: 

"Grandpa Xu, is this an old illness?"

Raising her hand, she pressed Old Master Xu's back, a green glow visible to the naked eye sank into Old Master Xu's body from her hand.

Several people started staring immediately as Mr. Xu stopped coughing all of a sudden. He breathed well and felt comfortable, with a strange expression on his face.
