#187 - Forbid magic! - You don’t want god-level superpowers, so you choose the worst talent?

Chapter 187: Anti-Magic!

Silence reigned on the deserted highway.

A convoy of vehicles was slowly making its way forward.

Leading the pack was a recreational vehicle converted from a heavy truck, followed by several minibuses, vans, and pickup trucks.

The convoy consisted of over one hundred and seventy people, their destination: Hancheng!

At the helm of this convoy were Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang!

Inside the heavy truck RV.

Zhao Zheng looked around, realizing that the carriage was clearly a luxurious RV, converted from something else.

Inside, there was a refrigerator, sofa, soft bed… almost everything.

“Quite the enjoyment.”

He smiled.

Even in peacetime, supporting such a large vehicle would consume a lot of manpower and resources.

Not to mention it was now the end of days with scarce resources.

In this environment, obtaining fuel was extremely difficult.

Fortunately, the current fuel tank of this vehicle was full, and there was a spare barrel of oil, enough for this vehicle to reach Hancheng.

In charge of driving was Han Lao San.

After some introductions, Zhao Zheng learned that Han Lao San's real name was "Han Chengjun," an old soldier with a military service of twelve years, later retired due to injury.

Because he was the third child in his family, everyone called him Han Lao San.

Han Chengjun was 39 years old this year and married relatively late, having a daughter at the age of thirty, his daughter's name was "Han Yingying," and she was nine years old this year.

Currently, Han Yingying was also in the heavy truck.

In addition, the one-armed Han Minna, an aunt, and a young man named Han Wu were also in the heavy truck.

Han Wu could drive, and was currently sitting in the passenger seat, preparing to switch with his third uncle when he got tired.

Between the cab and the rear carriage, there was a thick baffle.

At this moment, both uncle and nephew were silent, not saying a word.

Because this great change had caused heavy losses to the original team, killing many people.

Originally, the entire Han family had thirteen people, now there were only five left…

…

After Song Haitang's treatment, Han Minna's severed arm no longer bled.

However, the girl's face was still pale, a sequela of excessive blood loss.

She could persist until now because she possessed a strong will.

At this time, Han Minna's will was somewhat depressed.

This was not only because she had lost an arm, but also because she already knew that her aunt, nephew, niece, cousin… and others had all died in the previous chaos.

Although in the end-of-days environment, losing relatives was the most normal thing.

But suddenly losing so many relatives still made Han Minna feel uncomfortable.

“Alright, during this period, avoid contact with water and strenuous activities to prevent infection of the wound.”

Song Haitang said while putting away the medical kit.

Han Minna immediately said: “Thank you, Sister Jiuyue.”

“You have already thanked me before, so don’t thank me again.” Song Haitang said with a smile, and then added: “Also, my name is not actually Li Jiuyue, it’s just that my real name may cause some trouble, so I use a fake name instead.”

Han Minna was not surprised to hear this.

She had previously heard Zhao Zheng call "Haitang" several times, presumably that was Sister Jiuyue's real name.

“I understand, Sister Jiuyue, I will still call you Sister Jiuyue in the future!”

“Okay.”

Song Hai smiled and nodded, then said: “Don’t force yourself, go to bed and rest well!”

At this moment, Han Minna was indeed very weak, she herself felt dizzy in her brain.

But…

In the RV, there was only one bed.

Han Minna certainly did not dare to sleep, she was afraid of soiling the bed.

That bed must be for Sister Jiuyue and that god-like man to rest.

“Sister Jiuyue, I’ll just lie on the sofa for a while.”

Song Haitang did not like to be polite, and said upon hearing this: “Then you can lie on the sofa and rest!”

Han Minna lay on the sofa, but still forced herself to stay awake and did not dare to sleep.

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng said with a smile: “I’ll go to the roof to take a look.”

There was a skylight in the carriage, and a ladder was designed to climb directly to the roof.

On the roof, there was also a folded chair, the woman who had been sitting on the roof eating barbecue before was sitting on that chair.

After Zhao Zheng went up, he sat on the chair, looking at the front and the surrounding area.

After he left.

The few people in the carriage suddenly relaxed.

Zhao Zheng's aura was too strong, coupled with his previous god-like performance… ordinary people would really be breathless in front of him.

“Third Sister.”

Zhao Chengjun’s daughter immediately ran to Han Minna’s side.

Han Minna hugged this cousin with one hand, looking at the innocent look in her cousin’s eyes, full of fear, she felt distressed.

“Yingying, it’s okay, don’t be afraid.”

“Yingying, come over here, don’t disturb your Third Sister’s rest.”

The aunt who was cleaning said.

This aunt was Han Chengjun's sister-in-law, and also Han Minna's aunt, over forty years old this year.

“It’s okay, Auntie, I’m not very sleepy yet…”

Han Minna said, with a trace of worry in her eyes.

Now that she had lost an arm, she was considered half a cripple, what should she do in the future?

In this end-of-days environment, a disability like hers would inevitably be eliminated…

At this time, Song Haitang suddenly said: “Xiao Na, a normal person would probably have fainted from an injury like yours, it’s amazing that you can persist until now.”

Han Minna immediately said: “That’s thanks to the zombie crystal that Sister Jiuyue gave me at the beginning. After I ate it, I found that my physique became much stronger, otherwise I definitely wouldn’t have been able to hold on until now.”

“Oh?” Song Haitang said in surprise: “The effect of zombie crystals is so good?”

When cleaning the battlefield before, the survivors found a lot of zombie crystals from the bodies of those nomads, and handed them all over to Song Haitang.

“Yes! It’s a waste to give such a good thing to me, Sister Jiuyue should eat it.” Han Minna said.

Song Haitang did not say anything more, and said: “You should rest.”

Leaving these words, she also climbed onto the roof.

“Huh? Haitang, why are you here too?”

Seeing Song Haitang, Zhao Zheng said with a smile: “Come over and sit down.”

The current speed of the car was very slow, about thirty yards, although the weather was cold, the wind on the roof was not strong.

Driving so slowly was naturally for safety reasons.

Who knew what dangers would appear ahead, driving slowly could react in time.

Hearing this, Song Haitang sat next to Zhao Zheng.

“Zhao Zheng, next, are we going to send these survivors to Hancheng?”

“Yes! Isn’t that your decision?”

Zhao Zheng asked with a smile: “What? Is there a problem?”

Song Haitang shook her head and said: “When we are about to reach Hancheng, we have to control the speed of the team and it is best to arrive in Hancheng in eleven days.”

As soon as Zhao Zheng heard this, he understood what Song Haitang meant.

They had entered the Spirit Realm world, and now it had been ten days.

In another eleven days, all the transcendents left in this world would turn red-eyed and attract monsters to attack.

By then, the major shelters would definitely not accept these transcendents.

"Haitang, are you afraid that some transcendents have already infiltrated the Thor Shelter? Are you worried that these survivors, if they enter early, might leak our information?"

Zhao Zheng asked.

Song Haitang nodded and said, "Your confidentiality plan only has two months left, try to avoid any accidents."

Although doing so might bring some danger to these survivors.

However, to prevent Zhao Zheng's information from being leaked, Song Haitang had to do this.

She was kind-hearted, but only in certain situations.

In her eyes, Zhao Zheng was clearly much more important than these survivors.

If Zhao Zheng was threatened, she could abandon the lives of these survivors without hesitation.

"Okay, I understand."

Zhao Zheng smiled, his gaze towards Song Haitang filled with satisfaction.

To have such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?

"There's one more thing."

Song Haitang said, taking out a small transparent bag.

Inside the bag were about twenty or so corpse crystals, of varying sizes.

Zhao Zheng had seen those survivors handing over these corpse crystals to Song Haitang before, and curiously asked, "What are these things? They seem to contain special energy?"

Although he had been in the Spirit Realm for ten days, he had been constantly traveling and fighting during those ten days, and had not yet encountered any information about corpse crystals.

"These things are called 'corpse crystals' by the locals. They are a type of energy crystal that only appears in the bodies of mutated zombies."

Song Haitang explained, "According to the information I've gathered, the local ability users need these things very much, because they can enhance their ability strength. In addition, ordinary people can also strengthen their bodies by consuming them!"

"Oh? There are such good things?" Zhao Zheng asked in surprise, "Can we transcendents eat them too?"

Song Haitang shook her head: "Not sure!"

"However, the teacher never told us about the existence of this thing."

"Since the teacher didn't say, there are only three possibilities."

"First, the teacher really doesn't know."

"Second, someone deliberately concealed the existence and effects of corpse crystals."

"Third, the energy in the corpse crystals conflicts with the energy in our transcendents' bodies, and eating them will cause poisoning and death."

"I personally lean towards the third."

"I believe that over the years, there must have been transcendents in this world who obtained corpse crystals. Perhaps they couldn't resist the temptation to become stronger, swallowed the corpse crystals, and died of poisoning here, which led to the news never being spread…"

Zhao Zheng nodded upon hearing this: "Haitang, your analysis makes sense."

"Just guessing randomly." Song Haitang said modestly, then asked: "What should we do with these corpse crystals?"

Zhao Zheng thought for a while, and said with a smile: "The previous group of nomads were all weak. Since they have been consuming corpse crystals for a long time and only have that little bit of strength, it shows that the improvement brought by corpse crystals is not very good."

"We have the Spirit Realm, and we can improve our strength through the Spirit Realm. There is no need to gamble on whether this thing is really poisonous. So, my suggestion is to treat it as waste!"

Song Haitang very much agreed with Zhao Zheng's attitude.

She thought so too.

"Then I'll give these things to Xiaona later!" Song Haitang said.

Zhao Zheng already knew the names of several survivors in the car, and said with a smile: "It seems that you and that child are very compatible!"

Song Haitang nodded: "I admire her tenacious character very much, and I am willing to help her."

Zhao Zheng smiled, he also felt that the girl was very strong.

As for how Song Haitang handled the corpse crystals, he didn't care even more.

"By the way! Haitang, let me show you something."

As Zhao Zheng said, with a thought, he had an unknown object in his hand.

That thing was very small, probably only the size of a fingernail, and was generally silver-gray in color. It looked very much like a finger bone.

Song Haitang was keenly aware and immediately felt that this thing was emitting an invisible force field, covering a small area.

"This thing…" Song Haitang asked: "Is this the thing you got after killing the anomaly?"

Zhao Zheng smiled and nodded: "Yes, its name is 'Demon-Sealing Finger Bone'. It is a transcendent item and can be taken away. The effect is also very good. Carrying it can improve mental resistance and immunity to illusion attacks."

"Haitang, take a look."

Song Haitang took it and looked at it. Her left eye did indeed pop up the prompt that only transcendent items have.

Afterwards, she returned the "Ominous Bone" to Zhao Zheng and said with a smile: "My mental strength is enough. This thing is perfect for you. With it, you don't have to be afraid if you encounter spiritual anomalies again."

Zhao Zheng smiled and nodded, and kept this finger bone without being polite.

"Haitang, I plan to collect some information about anomalies and hunt more anomalies. Maybe I can get good things."

Song Haitang had a different opinion.

"Anomalies are very dangerous, so it's best not to force it."

"That's why I want to collect information first!" Zhao Zheng said with a smile: "I will definitely not go out of my way to find trouble with those tricky anomalies, but will specialize in dealing with the easy ones."

Song Haitang still didn't quite agree upon hearing this, but she knew that Zhao Zheng was very opinionated, and once he decided something, it was difficult for others to influence him.

"That's okay, but safety comes first."

……

The two were chatting on the roof of the car, and the survivors in the car behind were also secretly looking at them.

Mainly looking at Zhao Zheng.

Seeing that powerful man, everyone's eyes were filled with awe!

The next half day passed without incident.

They also didn't encounter any monsters.

When night came, the convoy pulled over and stopped.

Night is the time when monsters are active, so it is not advisable to travel, as it is easy to encounter danger.

The entire convoy formed a circle in the wilderness, and everyone made a fire in the circle to cook.

They definitely ran out of rice long ago, so they mainly cooked some packaged cooked food and dehydrated vegetable soup to drink.

After eating, they put out the fire, and then arranged for people to take turns guarding the night, while the others rested.
