After Rebirth in the Apocalypse, I Raised My Kids to Triumph

In an apocalyptic world of oxygen scarcity, mutated plants, and the collapse of human civilization, whether human or plant, the only goal is to survive.

In her past life, the apocalypse came ...

Chapter 179 Superpowers Work Sometimes and Sometimes Not (Part 5)

The protective shield of Xiashan Town was built above a middle school. Most of the survivors were middle school students and teachers. The total number of adults and more than a thousand students did not exceed two thousand.

Therefore, the number of adult laborers among the survivors in Xiashan Town is less than three hundred.

According to their confessions, there were even fewer people with superpowers, only three.

This included Qi Ming and Wu Xiuzhu, who were college students doing internships at the middle school during their summer vacation, and Cheng Wenshan, the principal of the middle school.

Qi Ming absolutely refused to talk, but Wu Xiuzhu couldn't resist the temptation of blood and was on the verge of a breakdown. Under a little pressure, she confessed everything, including Cheng Wenshan's ability to quickly grow vegetables.

Jiang Wan and Cheng Zhen both thought that he might have a fast-acting seed.

They all expressed doubt about Cheng Wenshan's supernatural abilities.

"Come on, take us to see it." They were originally going to stay here until dawn, but now they decided to set off for school right now.

They only have three superhumans. If two of them come out, then the safety of the entire school is entirely in the hands of that principal.

Something just doesn't sound right.

Qi Ming and Wu Xiuzhu weren't very worried, as if they were used to it. On the contrary, they were always on edge when they were out and about. Knowing that Cheng Zhen was going to their school, they said, "There's no rice at school, so we're out to get some."

Jiang Wan asked, "Isn't your principal's special ability to grow things quickly? How come he's short of rice?"

Ever since Wu Xiuzhu learned that she didn't need to drink blood, she had a deep-seated aversion to the taste of blood, but her body's habits made her crave it intensely, causing her great discomfort. She rushed outside first, and upon hearing this, answered without hesitation:

"Principal Cheng's special ability is also unreliable."

Can superpowers be used this recklessly?

She and Cheng Zhen exchanged a glance, their suspicions about Cheng Wenshan growing even stronger.

Xiashan Town Middle School is located at the southernmost part of this small town. They traveled from the northernmost point to the south, and apart from encountering some mutated plants, they didn't encounter a single zombie along the way.

Cheng Zhen asked, "Have you killed all the zombies here?"

Qi Ming remained silent. Wu Xiuzhu leaned dejectedly against the car window. They were both tied up, which was actually quite unnecessary. She had no desire to live anymore. She had drunk blood and become a monster. What difference was there between her and the zombies outside?

The car suddenly lurched, and her forehead slammed hard against the window. She snapped awake and sat bolt upright: "Where are they?"

Jiang Wan was driving when she suddenly startled him, and the car almost swerved.

From the back seat, Yu Fen held a gun to her back, saying, "Behave yourself!"

"No." Qi Ming, who was her boyfriend, understood almost immediately what she meant. "All the zombies in this town have disappeared!"

"What's the meaning?"

Cheng Zhen, sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly turned around upon hearing this and asked sharply.

“That’s right, there were a lot of zombies here, that’s why we had to come out together to carry rice back.” Wu Xiuzhu said, swallowing hard. “But we just came here… it seems…”

Qi Ming nodded firmly: "We didn't encounter any zombies."

At first, we thought Cheng Zhen and his team had taken care of it, but now it seems that's not the case.

The atmosphere inside the car instantly turned somber. Jiang Wan stepped on the gas pedal without saying a word, while Cheng Zhen, with a grim face, released his purification ability to be on alert at all times.

Yu Fen lost his temper and cursed, "Are you all pigs?! Leaving those people inside the protective shield is like feeding the zombies!"

Qi Ming and Wu Xiuzhu also realized that things were not going well. Both of them looked very ugly and did not say a word even after being scolded.

Xiashan Town wasn't very big to begin with, and they quickly arrived in front of the middle school. Anyone with superpowers could see the protective shield created by their superpowers that ordinary people couldn't see.

The protective shield here is very small, and compared to the city's protective shield in Xiangcheng, it exudes a strong smell of blood.

This is probably related to the fact that the protective shield was built by Wu Xiuzhu, who maintains her energy by sucking human blood.

However, what is most shocking is not this, but that the middle school in front of us is being attacked by zombies!

There are a lot of zombies here, at least several thousand, and more are constantly surging towards this side from outside. Here, there are less than three hundred adults and more than sixteen hundred students.

Left with no other choice, the sixteen- and seventeen-year-old boys also picked up all sorts of weapons to deal with the zombies trying to rush up the school building.

Before Cheng Zhen and his group arrived, many students had already been bitten by zombies, and several others had been dragged away by them. The girls hiding in the classroom dared not cry or scream, for fear that their screams would attract the attention of the zombies.

The scene was bloody and chaotic. Jiang Wan asked Wu Xiuzhu and Qi Ming, "The zombies have broken in, where is your principal?"

The two shook their heads in shock and fear.

Cheng Zhen immediately ordered his men to join the fight, then turned to her and said, "Wait for me in the car!"

"no!"

Jiang Wan flatly refused, then brandished her rattan whip and walked inside with him, saying, "It's not safe in the car either."

That's true. Cheng Zhen didn't press the matter further, but simply grabbed one of her hands and instructed in a deep voice, "Stay close to me and be vigilant."

"groove!"

"so much!"

Cheng Zhen and the others quickly joined the battle.

There were too many zombies, and Cheng Zhenguang was struggling to use his purification ability. He could only kill them, but when he ran out of bullets, he could only use his ability to attack.

As darkness fell, Yu Fen's energy reserves dwindled. He used a weak energy wave to pierce the brain of a zombie and couldn't help but shout, "Captain, this won't do! We can't hold on much longer!"

Cheng Zhen gritted his teeth: "Hold on, I'll take them to Xiangcheng!"

But the signal base station here was destroyed, so they couldn't contact Lao Chen by phone, and the radio was short-circuited. Cheng Zhen tried several times without success, and in frustration, he punched the wall: "Damn it!"

Jiang Wan spoke up: "Take me back, and I'll explain the situation to Battalion Commander Chen."

Cheng Zhen hesitated for only a second before agreeing immediately, instructing her: "Tell him that these people must be isolated separately and handled with extreme care, as many of them have been bitten by zombies!"

"good!"

Jiang Wan was sent to Old Chen's office by Cheng Zhen using the portal. He had just finished a meeting with several leaders from the Second Battalion and when he saw her in such a disheveled state and appearing so late, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Jiang Wan didn't waste any time and gave a concise summary of the situation in Xiashan Town.

Old Chen didn't have time to express his anger towards those people in the inner city; he simply ordered, "Send him to prison!"

Jiang Wan was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

When criminals are detained?

Old Chen didn't have time to explain: "Tell Cheng Zhen that it's that abandoned prison in the north of the city, he knows about it!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wan understood; with so many people, there was nowhere to isolate them all at once.

So, starting from a classroom on the first floor of the school building in Xiaoshan Town, the students were sent away one after another by Cheng Zhen using the portal. Just a corridor away, Yu Fen and the others desperately tried to stop the zombies.

No one noticed that after returning, Qi Ming and Wu Xiuzhu disappeared without a trace.
