Wang Luo rarely concerned himself with matters of power, as Zhao Qingxuan and Yang Shu's strength was more than enough to handle any issues.
His only concern now was to enjoy each day to the fullest.
When he felt like going out, he would ride his horse for a stroll. When he didn't, he would stay home, indulge in spa treatments, and read books. Life was thus simple and uneventful.
As for collecting building materials, he would gather as much as he could.
After all, there was never enough.
If necessary, they could always have people cut down trees and build wooden huts.
That evening, Zhao Qingxuan brought over more seeds.
"Those people have already ransacked all the edible supplies. No one cares about things like seeds!"
"So, collecting them is effortless for us!" Zhao Qingxuan said, straddling Wang Luo's lap.
His body had fully recovered, and they could finally indulge themselves again!
Yang Shu, with a half-smile, brewed a cup of goji berry tea for Wang Luo.
"You underestimate me too much!" Wang Luo pouted.
He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
Even with a strong body, one must still take care of it, lest they end up like Cao Erxiao next door before the apocalypse began.
"In a few days at most, the Ground Wind will descend, and you will witness the wonders of this world!" Wang Luo said, embracing Zhao Qingxuan's slender waist.
"Shortly after the Ground Wind comes the Ground Fire, followed by earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. Disasters will strike one after another!"
"In reality, none of this will significantly impact us. The only thing we need to be wary of is the zombies emerging from the passages formed by volcanic eruptions."
"Among those zombies, there might be a small number of powerful ones that surpass the current zombie levels, which will increase the difficulty of the apocalypse."
"Furthermore, because of the Ground Wind and Ground Fire, many buildings will be destroyed, leaving little obstruction on the ground. The zombies will then march directly towards our base, leading to a full-blown zombie siege!"
"This..."
The two women listened, dumbfounded.
Not only would there be zombies exceeding current levels, but there would also be a zombie siege?
"Then the fences outside our villa area won't be able to hold them off!" Zhao Qingxuan worried.
"Those fences naturally won't suffice, so we'll need to build new walls then!"
"And for the sake of sturdiness, it would be best to incorporate extraordinary materials into the walls!"
"This... how is that possible?"
"Where would we find so many extraordinary materials?" Yang Shu exclaimed.
The walls wouldn't be just a meter or two; they would need to encircle the entire base. How could they possibly include extraordinary materials everywhere? It was clearly unrealistic!
"Don't worry, as time passes, the probability of extraordinary materials appearing will increase!"
"And not every inch of the city wall needs them; we only need to add them at key points!"
"Besides, the walls won't be built with ordinary bricks. They will be earth walls constructed by earth element awakened individuals. These walls are inherently incredibly strong, and with the addition of extraordinary essence, their hardness will be even greater!"
Ordinary building materials might suffice for ordinary houses, but they wouldn't withstand the onslaught if used to build walls against zombies!
The two women felt a sense of unease.
A zombie siege, the mere thought of it was terrifying!
Was this apocalypse truly trying to doom everyone?
Wang Luo smiled.
If it were just ordinary zombies, this apocalypse would be too lacking in challenge!
"Don't worry. We'll face each challenge as it comes, and there will always be a way to survive!"
...
In the following days, Zhao Qingxuan and the others diligently collected resources, knowing that this was their last chance!
They wouldn't be able to gather anything later!
After the Ground Wind and Ground Fire, it would truly devolve into a desperate scramble for supplies.
One day, Wang Luo was basking in the sun on top of their villa.
Below, in the villa area, a person stood every few steps, the entire complex filled with survivors.
"Wang Luo, is this really going to work?" Zhao Qingxuan asked.
This arrangement was naturally Wang Luo's idea.
"Don't worry! For now, we just need to observe!"
"Are there humans at all the supply depots?" Wang Luo asked again.
"As you instructed, there are survivor forces stationed in every corner," Yang Shu said, looking down at the villa area.
"Then that's good. Let's just wait for the time to come!"
Below the villa, Qi Sheng, Li Junru, and others were filled with curiosity.
"What do you think our two leaders want us to do, just standing here like this?" Qi Sheng asked from his position on the back of his mutated pig.
"If even you, an SS-class captain, don't know, how would we?" Huangpu Yu shook his head.
Though he didn't understand the reason, since the goddesses had instructed him to stand here, he would hold his ground even if his legs broke.
Not far away, Qi Lianyun and the others also frowned, wondering what was going on.
Suddenly, Li Junru looked down at her calf. "Do you feel that? It seems like wind is blowing up from the ground?"
"No!" Qi Sheng shook his head. Even if there was wind, it was likely caused by the commotion from his mount, "Second Senior Brother," beneath him.
"Hey! It does feel like there's wind, like it's coming from the ground!" More and more people felt a cool breeze around their legs, as if standing by a ventilation shaft.
However, they still didn't understand what was happening.
Not long after, the ground began to churn with wind, kicking up dust!
"Hey, look outside!" someone shouted.
Outside the villa area, gusts of wind were rising from the ground, lifting dust, leaves, and discarded newspapers into the sky.
In an instant, the entire city seemed to be in a chaotic dance!
"Is this the Ground Wind?" Zhao Qingxuan exclaimed, surprised.
The power didn't seem that great, though.
"Don't rush, this is just the beginning!" Wang Luo smiled.
Rumble!
As time passed, the pebbles on the ground began to shake violently, and then they floated upwards.
Hiss!
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief!
The wind force was strong enough to blow even stones into the air.
"Holy cow, is a tornado coming?" Everyone looked around with strange expressions.
Aside from a tornado, it was difficult for wind of any other level to lift stones into the air!
Rumble!
Throughout the city, a large amount of debris was swept into the air, hovering above.
In addition to dust, leaves, gravel, and stones, now even larger pieces of wood and discarded items were being blown into the air by the hurricane.
Everyone watched this scene in horror.
"Holy cow, could it be that some powerful individual has awakened a gravity-controlling superpower?"
"This reminds me of a certain anime character who was blind!"
The scene was terrifying, with vast amounts of debris being lifted high into the sky and continuing to rise.
With a "whoosh," a bicycle was blown upwards...
