Chapter 41.3

After some conversation, the understanding between them has deepened a lot, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious. Shen Shian did not expect that Chen Nan was actually under the age of 18, probably because he had long-term physical training and a more quiet personality than his peers. He seemed to be older than his actual age.

Remembering the information he got, Shen Shian suddenly remembered one thing, “Have you ever touched the zombie’s crystal nucleus?”

“What?” Chen Nan asked, “What crystal nucleus?”

Shen Shian thought for a moment and said, “Wait for me.” He then said to the child, “Be good and don’t run around.” After saying that, he took the long sword and went out.

About ten minutes later, he came back with his sword, and handed a brilliant crystal nucleus to Chen Nan, “This.”

Chen Nan took the crystal nucleus somewhat curiously, and looked at the fire, “What is this? It looks like a diamond.”

He hadn’t finished his line when the crystal nucleus in his palm suddenly looked like a fruit that has been sucked out of its nutrients, turning into a white powder.

Chen Nan widened his eyes, “I didn’t do anything.”

Shen Xun’s eyes also widened, why can he absorb the nucleus?

Shen Shian’s eyes lit up, and he was not completely surprised by this result, “Specify in detail what probably happened.”

Chen Nan furrowed his eyebrows and he tried his best to think about what happened, “I just feel that the crystal nucleus is beautiful, and then I don’t know why but my power suddenly moved.”

Shen Shian asked, “You carefully check, has the power in your body increased?”

Chen Nan closed his eyes, and soon opened it again, showing a reflection of the fire that was astonishingly bright, “It didn’t rise much, only a little, maybe I can produce one tenth a potato, but it definitely rose.”

Shen Shian thought so.

The crystal nucleus could promote the recovery of the spring, and it could also promote abilities or spiritual power. Although he couldn’t directly absorb the crystal nucleus like Chen Nan, he could improve his ability through the restored spring water, and there was not really much of a difference.

“You can also absorb the crystal nucleus, right?” Chen Nan also reacted, “You just said that this is a zombie’s crystal nucleus.”

Shen Shian nodded, “This is from the evolved zombies’ heads. Do you know evolved or mutated zombies? They are much faster and responsive than ordinary zombies.”

“I know, but I haven’t had a head-to-head fight.”

“How?” He walked all the way for more than thirty days. He should have encountered at least one evolved zombie.

“They didn’t run faster than me.”

Shen Shian still didn’t understand it at this time, but soon in the process of searching for mutant zombies and collecting crystal nuclei the next day, he deeply understood the meaning of Chen Nan’s words, “They didn’t run faster than me.”

He ran too fast

After drinking spring water and exercising, Shen Shian could now run about three times faster than before he got his space. It usually took about 4 seconds to complete 100 meters. This speed could be further increased when he uses his spiritual powers.

But Chen Nan’s speed was even faster than him. He was lightning fast, not to mention the mutated zombies, even Shen Shian had to use effort to catch up with him. He really astonished him.

In the face of Shen Shian’s praise, Chen Nan was a little embarrassed. “I specialize in 100-meter and 400-meter sprints in the track and field team. I have been practicing since I was seven or eight years old, and I have been practicing for ten years, which is why my speed is definitely faster than the average person. However, this speed is only received after gaining my ability. I didn’t even dare to think about it before.” If you could have this speed when you were in the provincial team, you didn’t need to compete in other domestic competitions, you could directly take the world record.

Shen Shian thought deeply. First, he knew that human physiques are constantly improving after the virus outbreak, such as Li Cheng and rich man Miao, who he met in the library, but their improvement was far less exaggerated than that of Chen Nan. Chen Nan’s astonishing speed was inseparable from his training before the apocalypse. Second, once someone has an ability, their physical fitness seems to be a step higher than ordinary people. For example, Ms. Dong. She threw out two strong men who weighed more than three times her weight when she awakened her ability.

However, although he ran fast, Chen Nan’s combat experience was obviously inadequate, and his combat ability was slightly better than rich man Miao. It would not be a problem for the child to beat him twenty times. Especially for the weapon, he was only using a pipe that was almost worn out. Shen Shian couldn’t bear to see it. He took out the aloe spines from the space and made him a thorn stick.

Shen Shian spent a total of three and a half days in the town, collecting a total of 210 zombie crystal nuclei, and successfully restored the spring water to the size of a Wahaha straw{n1}. During this period, Shen Xun repeatedly suggested that he wanted to help show his mighty power. Shen Shian did not agree. He and Chen Nan only knew each other for a few days, it was better to not show this child abnormalities.

Note1: Wahaha is a small drink in China

In addition to the crystal nuclei, he had also collected more than a dozen tons of clean water. As long as he put his hand under the open faucet, he could send the water directly into the water container of the subspace, so much water was enough to support them for a very long time.

After eating at noon that day, he and the child planned to continue their journey again.

Chen Nan hesitated for a long time, and finally walked to Shen Shian, “Brother Shen, can I follow you?”

Shen Shian was the first person he was willing to trust after the virus outbreak. Over the past few days, he knew and got along with each other. It was quite harmonious, and the other person has the same ability to promote plants as he does. Their destination was also exactly the same. No matter how he thought about it, he was a rare partner.

But if he really wanted to travel together, the other party had a car and enough food, and the military value was also super strong. No matter how he looked at it, he had a very big advantage, not to mention that he also carries a zombie head. Worried about Shen Shian’s refusal, he quickly said, “Brother Shen, don’t worry, I’m not going to eat or drink. I can collect or grow my own food. I will give you one, no, two, no, three crystal nuclei every day. If you encounter any danger, you don’t have to protect me. I will run by myself. I am also optimistic that Jiamu will not cause you any trouble. If you need me to do anything, just say tell me.”

Shen Shian placed the child on the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt. After closing the door, he turned and looked at Chen Nan, “Zombies’ crystal nuclei are not so easy to obtain.”

Chen Nan was stunned and immediately understood. It’s impossible to not be disappointed, but he nodded, “I get it. Brother Shen, be careful along the way, I hope you find the people you were looking for soon.”

Before the words fell, Shen Shian opened the back door of the off-road vehicle, “But it’s more than enough to add another person to my car.”
