All the trains in Nanyuan Station had already departed by the time Du Gang and the others arrived, with only a room full of insects waiting for them in the waiting area.
Further ahead in the open area, the insects that were unable to hide or had nowhere to hide from the sun had already entered a state of suspended animation.
“There are no trains left, what do we do now?”
Chu Zixuan casually mentioned before he looked at the insects all around with bright eyes.
On their journey so far, although they had not actively hunted, they had killed any insects they passed by accumulating quite many red Source Energy Crystals. If they also exterminated the insects inside the train station, it should be enough for him to level up.
At this moment, Du Gang also frowned. He had a bad premonition before, but he still held hope for this place. He didn’t expect that nothing was left, not even a single train head.
As they made their way here, rushing for time, they didn’t have time to use the crystals they collected. Now, finding that they can’t proceed, they can only finish hunting the insects here and then enhance their abilities.
“An Ya, Ma Li, you two begin to prepare some food here, try to find a pot for hot meals if possible.”
“Alright!” An Ya had been anxious about not being able to contribute much during the journey. Hearing this, she quickly sprung into action.
“Cao Yongyi, Ji Zhiwen, you two take a look around to see if there are any other means of transportation or useful items.”
Once Du Gang finished speaking, he started clearing the insects in the waiting area along with Chu Zixuan.
The sheer number of insects in the waiting area made their cleaning rather laborious, with some places having stacks of insects.
Once the others moved far away, Du Gang quietly asked: “Chu Zixuan, do you think the three of us: you, Ma Li and me, can find a faster way to Luo An City?”
It was already noon. With only six or seven hours left till dark and having yet to find a way back, he was somewhat anxious. He even thought about transforming into a giant and running all the way back, but he quickly discarded the idea.
Chu Zixuan pondered momentarily and then said with a frown, “There isn’t a great solution. You’ve also seen the situation in the wilderness. There are more insects than in the city. It’s okay during the day, but once night falls, we won’t get far without a shelter to protect us from the insects…”
Du Gang didn’t give up and said, “My power has increased, and I can stay transformed for a longer time. If I were to carry Ma Li while transformed…”
“Big brother, that’s a distance of five or six hundred kilometers. Do you know the fastest human sprinter can only run ten meters per second? That converts to a speed of only thirty-six kilometers per hour! To cover a distance of five to six hundred kilometers would be equivalent to a sprinter running at their top speed, non-stop for 16 hours, which is also equivalent to having 5761 races back to back…”
Chu Zixuan looked helpless as he continued, “Even if your speed is higher than his, do you have the endurance? Do you know the way? Don’t you need to stop to correct your direction? How would you deal with any insects that can move during the daytime…”
“My suggestion is to find an off-road vehicle that’s durable enough. We can drive during the day, but we must reach a town or county before sunset, and find a place safe enough to stay overnight…”
After hearing this series of suggestions, Du Gang, who had stopped, resumed his insect harvesting in silence, seemingly quite frustrated.
Seeing this, Chu Zixuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Unless absolutely necessary, he really didn’t want to separate from Du Gang. A meat shield of his caliber was hard to come by.
An hour later, all the waiting areas in the train station had been cleared.
An Ya and Ma Li had cooked a large pot of instant noodles. Neither of them knew how to cook!
Meanwhile, Cao Yongyi and Ji Zhiwen had managed to pick up a few useful items like paper maps, lighters, staplers and, most surprisingly, they found a car with keys.
During their journey, Du Gang and the others had come across a good number of cars, but most of them didn’t have keys. They weren’t thieves, nor did they know how to fix cars, and lacked the skills shown in movies to jumpstart a car with a couple of wires. They had to walk the entire way.
Now that they found a drivable car, Du Gang took the unusual step of complimenting them.
“Well done!”
He continued, “Let’s eat quickly. We’ll split the crystals after eating, rest a bit, then hit the road!”
They currently had a total of 220 crystals. Following the allocation principle, Du Gang got 88 crystals, Chu Zixuan got 66, An Ya and Cao Yongyi each received 22, while Ma Li and Ji Zhiwen each got 11.
Soon, everyone swallowed their crystals and closed their eyes to comprehend.
Meanwhile, Du Gang quietly gave eight of his own crystals to Ma Li.
He didn’t give more. At this stage, it was most beneficial for him to enhance his own power. Given Ma Li’s talent, giving him more would be wasteful.
The 80 red crystals, each containing 1-3 points of Source Energy, gave him a total of 166 points of Source Energy. Adding the 20 points he had left over, he now had 186 points of Source Energy.
Looking at this amount of Source Energy made him feel uncomfortable.
Seeing Ma Li full of anticipation as he carefully studied his crystals, he still didn’t ask him for a loan but chose to slip away in silence to hunt more insects.
Not far from the train station, he exterminated seven insects in the open before finally amassing 200 points of Source Energy.
By the time he returned to where he had been, Chu Zixuan had already awoken with a somewhat disappointed expression, but seeing Du Gang returning from elsewhere, he didn’t ask much.
He directly said, “The number of crystals I ingested should be similar to what you had before leveling up, or perhaps even more. But I did not level up despite this. Is the difference in talent between natural awakening and awakening by consuming crystals really that huge?”
Du Gang chuckled lightly, comforting him with a few words. He understood that his rapid advancement was purely due to the system’s advantages.
After closing his eyes, he immediately added a hundred points of Source Energy to his Dynamic Vision.
He did consider activating his Super Brain Analysis, but after some thought, he felt that his intelligence was not low and with Chu Zixuan around, this ability was not urgently needed.
In the end, he decided to activate his Dynamic Vision because this ability could concrete boost his power.
The ability to capture the high-speed movement of objects, what does this ability signify?
It signifies that he can identify more dangers, and even see the trajectory of bullets.
The activation of Dynamic Vision requires the restructuring of the internal structure of the eyeballs, which will cause intense pain.
As soon as the Source Energy was added, Du Gang’s eyes started to hurt abnormally. His vision then turned black, and he promptly passed out..
