Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 100 – Level 3 Crystal Nucleus

Lin Fan floated in mid-air, quietly watching the busy figures below.

Her long white dress fluttered in the wind.

The hem of her skirt danced.

Logically, everyone should have been able to see what was under her skirt.

But strangely.

No matter the angle, the area beneath her skirt seemed to be covered by a faint, distorted halo of light.

There was clearly nothing there.

Yet nothing could be seen clearly.

That was the effect of high-level mental control refracting light.

It prevented the people on the ground from focusing on the area under her skirt.

Lin Fan was very satisfied with this.

This meant she could continue to enjoy the thrill of wearing nothing underneath without worrying about actual exposure.

She raised her head and looked into the distance.

She overlooked the entire military camp. As far as her eyes could see, there were busy figures everywhere.

The great migration had begun.

The first to arrive was the engineering team.

More than thirty able-bodied male survivors, carrying tools, began to repair the fortifications destroyed in the battle.

They first cleared the rubble from the main road of the military camp, then reinforced the surrounding walls with steel bars and concrete.

The collapsed barracks were also being repaired, bit by bit, by their hands.

Ah Hu, along with two Level 2 Evolved beings, was responsible for moving the heavy construction materials.

He lifted a ten-meter-long steel beam weighing several tons with a single hand, as effortlessly as if it were a toy.

The surrounding survivors watched, dumbfounded.

The second group to arrive was the planting and farming teams.

The military camp covered a much larger area than Fragrant Hills International.

There was a large open space on the east side, enough to be reclaimed as farmland.

The person in charge of the planting team was an old farmer in his fifties. He squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil, and held it to his nose to smell it.

“Good soil!”

His eyes lit up.

“This soil is fertile. As long as we have seeds, we can harvest the first batch of grain in three months.”

The farming team occupied several abandoned warehouses on the west side.

They had brought a large number of chickens, ducks, rabbits, and even a dozen pigs from Fragrant Hills International.

Although the numbers were small, with careful breeding, they could have a stable supply of meat in half a year.

The last to arrive were the ordinary survivors.

They came with their families, carrying their luggage, their eyes filled with anticipation for a new life.

Zhou Ming stood at the entrance of the military camp, announcing loudly through a megaphone.

“Everyone, listen up!”

“From today onwards, the Fragrant Hills International stronghold is officially renamed the Hangcheng Base!”

“All survivors, regardless of gender or age, can choose to join!”

“But the prerequisite is that you must obey the management and follow work arrangements!”

“Those who do not work shall not eat!”

His voice spread throughout Hangcheng via the radio.

The survivors who had been barely surviving in the ruins felt hope rekindle in their eyes upon hearing this news.

Hangcheng Base.

A place with order, food, and the protection of an armed force.

In this apocalypse, it was the paradise everyone dreamed of.

————

The migration went smoothly.

The main building of the military camp, a five-story structure, had miraculously survived the battle.

Lin Fan designated the entire top floor as her private area.

At this moment, she was floating in the open space outside the main building, her long, silver-white hair drifting gently in the night wind.

Below her were rows of newly erected tombstones.

Thirty-two of them.

Each one was engraved with a name.

They were the Evolved beings who had fallen in the battle against the Zombie Queen.

Lin Fan quietly looked at the tombstones, a complex emotion flashing through her rainbow-colored eyes.

Guilt.

This was a feeling she had never had since her rebirth.

When she was first reborn, he had never felt guilty for anyone’s death.

Back then, he only wanted revenge and to survive in this goddamn apocalypse.

As long as he could become stronger.

What did the lives and deaths of others have to do with him?

But now…

She looked down at her slender, fair hands.

Was it Bai Lu’s spirit?

The woman who, even when infected and with a fragmented consciousness, still protected the survivors with her final shred of kindness.

Her memory fragments, her Mental Strength, seemed to have passed on a part of humanity’s kindness to Lin Fan during the fusion process.

Lin Fan closed her eyes.

She didn’t know if this was a good or bad thing.

But at least for now, she could feel the weight of those who had fallen.

After all…

“I’m sorry,” she said softly.

Her voice was so light it was almost carried away by the wind.

“But I won’t stop.”

She opened her eyes, the complex emotions gone, replaced by determination.

“Because I must become stronger.”

She turned and floated toward the top floor of the main building.

The hem of her white dress traced a graceful arc in the air.

She now possessed unprecedented power.

But at the same time, deeper questions had emerged.

Was the truth of this apocalypse really just a solar storm?

She hadn’t seen a single one of the so-called “Chosen Ones.” Where on earth were they?

And…

Could she end this apocalypse?

She looked up at the night sky.

The stars were scattered like diamonds.

It was as if nothing had changed.

But she knew.

She herself had become different from before.

…….

Late at night, eleven o’clock.

Lin Fan sat in the spacious bedroom on the top floor, her long, silver-white hair draped casually behind her.

Knock, knock, knock.

Rеаd оո ΚаtReαԁiոgСafе

A knock sounded at the door.

Lin Fan didn’t turn around, merely uttering a single word.

“Enter.”

The door was pushed open.

Ah Hu and Zhou Ming walked in.

Their faces still carried a mix of un-faded excitement and fatigue.

“Lei-jie.”

Ah Hu spoke first, his voice filled with unconcealable excitement.

“Seventy percent of the base’s defenses have been repaired. We expect a full recovery within three days.”

Zhou Ming continued, “The planting and farming teams are in position. The farmland reclamation can begin tomorrow.”

Lin Fan nodded.

She stood up and turned to face the two of them.

Moonlight spilled in from behind her, enveloping her in a hazy halo of light.

Ah Hu and Zhou Ming subconsciously swallowed.

Too beautiful.

The current Lei-jie was so beautiful it made one afraid to look directly at her.

Lin Fan walked to the table and took out two Crystals.

One was fiery red, emitting violent energy fluctuations.

The other was transparent, like a crystal without any impurities, with a faint flow of light visible within.

“Level 3 Crystals.”

Lin Fan’s voice was calm.

“One power-type, one special-type.”

Ah Hu’s and Zhou Ming’s breathing instantly quickened.

Level 3 Crystals!

That was something that only existed in legends!

Lin Fan placed the two Crystals on the table and looked up at them.

“You two are the people I trust the most.”

“So, these two Crystals are for you.”

Ah Hu and Zhou Ming were stunned.

“Lei-jie… this…”

Rеad оո КαtRеaⅾіnɡСаfе

Ah Hu’s voice was trembling.

Lin Fan waved her hand.

“But I must tell you in advance.”

“The success rate for Level 3 Crystals is very low.”

“If you fail, the best outcome is no change at all.”

“The worst outcome…”

She paused.

“You could die.”

Silence fell in the room.

Ah Hu and Zhou Ming glanced at each other.

There was no hesitation in either of their eyes.

“Lei-jie.”

Zhou Ming spoke first.

“I’m willing to try.”

Ah Hu also grinned.

“Me too.”

Lin Fan looked at the two of them, a faint smile gracing her lips.

“Very good.”

She pointed to the fiery red Crystal.

“Ah Hu, this one is yours.”

Then she pointed to the transparent Crystal.

“Zhou Ming, this one is for you.”

The two men reached out almost simultaneously and picked up the Crystals in front of them.

“Now, swallow them on the spot.”

Lin Fan’s voice carried an undeniable authority.

“I’ll watch you.”

Ah Hu took a deep breath and stuffed the fiery red Crystal into his mouth.

Zhou Ming followed suit, swallowing the transparent Crystal.

The next second.

Both of their bodies began to tremble violently at the same time
