Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! novel Chapter 132

Aboveground, the wind howled like a beast with endless hunger, tearing through the buildings and walls of the military base as if trying to rip apart the last fragments of human resistance.

Heavy snow fell from the eternal night sky, blanketing the ground in a suffocating white shroud.

The soldiers inside the enclosed sentry towers felt something strange about this night’s winds.

Their intuitions were right as beyond what the naked eye can see, colorful strands like ribbons danced with the wind.

....

The fruit rested lightly in Nanzhi’s hand, its icy surface smooth and cold.

Delicate frosty web-like patterns over the skin, chill from the fruit seeped into her palm.

She brought it to her lips, her breath hitching slightly from the cold.

She took a careful bite.

The fruit cracked softly, releasing a cool sweetness that melted across her tongue.

Nanzhi didn’t expect it to be sweet.

It’s like eating plum sorbet mixed with big chunks of crushed ice.

The chill flowed down her throat like a slow stream of frozen water.

Just one fruit made her body shudder violently.

It’s like she had fallen inside a frozen lake!

So cold!

Nanzhi quickly placed stoves in her room and tossed coals inside before burning them.

The heat from the stoves dispersed a small amount of cold from her body.

Nanzhi’s teeth chattered as she endured until the cold was gone.

Then it happened—a faint flicker in her mind.

The red light in her Mind Palace jerked violently before jumping up and down, almost as if it was urging her to continue.

[You’ve increased +1 point of your mental power.]

[Mental Power: 150]

Ecstatic, Nanzhi devoured another one.

It was cold but no longer as cold as what she experienced a minute ago.

[You’ve increased +1 point...]

[Mental Power: 151]

[You’ve increased +1 point...]

[Mental Power: 152]

Midway, Nanzhi threw the blankets and stowed the burning stoves in personal inventory, letting her body adapt to the cold.

At last, after a harrowing 30 minutes, the eleven fruits were finally devoured.

Her mental power had increased to 161.

She gathered her mental power onto her palm, observing the changes.

Though it was subtle, she could feel the red strands had become much denser, and her control of the objects became smoother.

The one that had the biggest change is her Mind Palace.

Underneath where she is standing, she faintly sees a dead patch of yellow grass amidst the crack of what seems to be white tiles.

Lin Weihao’s previous words came to her mind.

’You said before that your Mind Palace is a sketchy outline of pillars and structures.’

She looked around, but to her dismay, the surroundings were still as dark as ever.

Nanzhi was about to conclude it a day when her mind thought of something.

She closed her eyes and released her mental power outward.

Like a stone was thrown into a calm lake, it traveled like a rippling, broad wave in all directions.

This is the new skill she gained from figuring out the Wolf King’s location in the last moment of their battle.

She likes to call it mental exploration.

Her mental power dropped slowly as the wave of mental power spread.

[Mental Power: 161]

Pondering deeply, she raised her hand to give another try. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}
