Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Preparing to Leave

Chu Miao wondered how one could get enlightened while using their superpower. Could it be that it was the same as cultivation and an enlightenment could lead to a breakthrough in the understanding of their element?

While she was thinking this, she kept observing from afar and didn’t dare to make a sound in case she startled him and interrupted his progress.

Soon, she saw the ice blade dazzling with purple lightning sizzling on it. Moreover, the blade was thinner than before. Almost as thin as a cicada’s wings, but somehow, it seemed to have become harder and more deadly.

This time the zombies weren’t just getting their heads cut off, as soon as the blade touched them, they turned to ashes.

This was a new combination of Superpowers that Chu Miao hadn’t thought possible. After all, ice was water and combining water with lightning, which is basically electricity, was like courting death.

But now seeing how the combination worked on zombies, she had to applaud Ye Xuan for thinking of this. It didn’t take long for all a hundred plus zombies to be killed.

Chu Miao waved her hand and her light energy passed through all the zombies burning those with still intact bodies and collecting all the crystal cores from them.

She then piled them in front of Ye Xuan who was also tired as he had exhausted his spiritual energy and used some superpower energy.

Chu Miao walked to his side and fed him a spirit returning pill.

"Should we go back into the boat so that you can meditate and recover or are you going to do it here?" She asked as she looked at his slightly tired face.

There weren’t many zombies, but it looks like zombies were evolving daily because the strength of these normal ones was different from the last time they killed zombies.

Not to mention the emergence of so many mutated zombies. It felt like every place they find a horde of zombies nowadays also had a mutated zombie as a leader. It was a concerning aspect.

"Put the boat away. Let’s stay inside and observe what’s happening from the dark. We have to understand their situation before taking them back.

Also, keep these crystal cores." Ye Xuan replied.

He suspected that the military leaders wouldn’t just let Qi Long and the rest go so easily, and he trusted his gut. It saved his life many times on dangerous missions, so he decided to observe from the shadows while the enemy was in the light.

"Okay." Chu Miao didn’t act coy about the crystal cores. She took them and kept them away. She was going to give some to Yang Leo, Zhao Ji, Chichi, and the rest can be kept for Ye Xuan’s brothers once they come out of seclusion.

She took out a sofa from the space, a coffee table and water bottles and placed them in a room facing the direction they believed Qi Long and company would come in.

She had Ye Xuan sit down to meditate and integrate the medicinal power of the pill she had given him before going out to take the yacht and put it away.

Walking back to the room, Ye Xuan had already entered a meditation state and couldn’t be disturbed. She placed a chair near the window and started observing the water covering every inch of land in sight.

In the military base, Qi Long and his team with a few other soldiers who decided to retire left the base with rowing boats they had made.

When he finally gave up on the military after the comment from a leader about losing manpower instead of sympathizing with the death of his brothers, Qi Long no longer had any second thoughts.

When he presented his resignation letter and a request for discharge, his leader had tried to convince him to stay with a temptation of higher benefits if they could secure a more prominent position in the safe base under construction.

However, Qi Long wasn’t tempted by such benefits. His brothers’ lives couldn’t be compared to such material objects. He had stood his ground and insisted on discharge.

The leader wasn’t happy but unlike his counterparts, he still had compassion for his soldiers. So, he processed it without many issues.

The request of others from the same squad was expected and their discharge processing wasn’t dramatic.

However, the same couldn’t be said about the other soldiers from the battalions under the other two leaders who wanted to leave with Qi Long.

After presenting their discharge request, they were given a punishment and locked in solitary confinement to think about their ’duty’ for a few days.

Even with the rooms flooding, they had to spend their time standing up as they couldn’t lie down and get soaked.

After two days in the dark room, they were released and asked to choose whether they wanted to continue serving their ’country’ or to leave.

After being treated so badly just for asking for early retirement, the resolve of most of the soldiers hardened further. Others who had not thought of retiring and still had their hearts set on being soldiers and dying in battle to protect the citizens started wavering.

If soldiers who had risked their lives countless times to serve could be treated so badly, what would the future be? Some chose to wait and see what would happen while others decided to quit while there was still time.

Thus, they submitted their discharge requests as well. With the death rate of soldiers on duty so high, having over a hundred soldiers leaving at once was not a small blow to the military base.

The three leaders realized that their approach might be wrong as the same authority they held over the soldiers before may not be enough as a deterrent force.

They were also fearful that these soldiers would join the second military base army and increase their fighting power. That would mean even fewer benefits and supplies once the safe zone was established.

They had also heard about the use of crystal cores to improve superpowers. After realizing that Qi Long and his group, which had come back with the news about crystal cores were more powerful than any other awakened, they were even more determined not to let those departing soldiers join the enemy camp.

So, if they couldn’t be used, they had to be eliminated. Seeing no use in giving out more punishment and disheartening even more people, they granted their request for discharge.

The soldiers were overjoyed and while they waited for the processing of their discharge, they started to build boats that could be used to leave.

Qi Long had told them about going to a different place with better leadership and resources. However, apart from his four brothers, no one knew who or where they were going.

Not because he didn’t want to tell them but he knew that keeping this information hidden was the best way to protect them and Ye Xuan as well.

With the leaders behaving like leeches, he didn’t dare to be so complacent and think that the integrity of a soldier would stop them from doing something unspeakable.

All the other soldiers knew was that Qi Long was taking them to a more conducive environment for growth and serving the people according to their oath.

For the next three days, over a hundred soldiers had spent their time collecting some floating tree trunks and boards from furniture swept away by the floods.

Using these materials, they had managed to build boats that could carry at least five people each. The boats would use oars but some soldiers with engineering knowledge had taken apart some of the abandoned vehicles on the roads near the base to scavenge for usable car engines.

Yes, while looking for materials to make the boats, some of them had to leave the base and look around to find the most suitable wood. After all, not every tree could be made into a boat.

It was during this time when they noticed the overturned and floating vehicles looking like water ghosts that they decided to modify the boats.

If they had an engine, then they would be easier to navigate and could move faster.

But then another problem presented itself once the first boat was made and taken out for testing.

The engines needed gasoline to operate. But as soldiers, they needed to report every expenditure ànd they couldn’t siphon the gas from the military vehicles.

Not only was that unethical, but it would also cause a problem for others once the flood water receded and they needed to use the vehicles again.

After searching the submerged vehicles to see if any had gasoline in cans stored in them, they came up empty-handed.

Qi Long saw how everyone was working hard and trying to make their journey as smooth as possible and decided to expose the secret he had been keeping.
