Everyone thought the most powerful scientist they had ever seen was a national treasure-level technologist, until they met Bai Zhi—the Light of Technology, a cosmic-level scientist.
Congrat...
These people are all members of the Thunderstorm Team. Even in the original progress, before Long Che grew up, these people played a very important role.
They have always had a good relationship. The space-powered people are their treasures, and these people are willing to risk their lives to protect Su Xiao in times of danger.
But now, they suddenly discovered——
Su Xiao lied to them.
In fact, it doesn’t matter if she lied. The space bracelet and space-related abilities are only something she can use, so the difference is not that big.
She had a secret to hide, and although she was a little unhappy, she was not too angry.
But unfortunately, this matter is not a complete secret within the team.
——Others know, but they don’t.
What's the meaning?
Don't treat them as members of the team!
One of the power-type mutants, Zhang Qiang, was particularly angry. He had followed Long Che from the beginning, and later met Su Xiao, and then the others came.
But Du Shufeng, who joined them last, knew this "secret", but Zhang Qiang, an early member, knew nothing about it. How could he not be angry?
Do you look down on him because he is just a power-type mutant?
When Zhang Qiang thought of this, his face turned blue with anger.
Su Xiao was startled when she saw his expression.
Now their team still cannot do without these ordinary psychics. Although the Five Elements psychics have great potential, they still cannot do without these ordinary psychics until they grow up!
And if she still had the space bracelet in her hand, she would still be more confident.
But now the space bracelet is not in her hand. Even though she knows she can get it back, she still lacks confidence.
Thinking of this, Su Xiao's face showed helplessness, and she subconsciously looked at Long Che, seeking help from her lover.
Long Che's face suddenly darkened.
He first discovered...
Su Xiao is so stupid!
Why would he look at her at this time? Her distrust is far better than the captain's distrust!
——If she looked at him, Zhang Qiang and the others would think that it was he, the captain, who made the decision!
Long Che took a deep breath and said, "I should have told you about this a long time ago, but it's a serious matter and Xiaoxiao was worried. It was a coincidence that she told us. She was really worried, so she didn't dare to let everyone know, especially since we have Su Baizhi on our team."
When he said that, Su Xiao understood instantly and quickly said, "I've already thought about it. I'll tell you after I drop Su Baizhi off at the base. I just didn't expect...she would still find out."
Long Che nodded: "Yes, Xiaoxiao's bracelet is a space bracelet. This matter must not be leaked. Her bracelet is a family heirloom of the Su family. Only her blood can be used."
After a pause, Long Che added, "Su Baizhi's blood might also work. Now that the bracelet is in her hands, we must find a way to get it back as soon as possible."
——The two of them worked together to divert hatred and attention.
Zhang Qiang and the others looked a little better, but they were still different from before.
They risked their lives to protect Su Xiao, but in the end they became someone she couldn't trust?
They treated Long Che as their boss and obeyed his arrangements, but in the end they still didn't get his trust?
Just now, Su Xiao subconsciously looked at Long Che!
If Long Che felt that they could be assured and wanted to tell them, would Su Xiao disagree?
Because of this incident, they still had some resentment in their hearts.
This kind of rift is not small. If something happens again, the relationship will probably be completely broken!
The laboratory door could not be opened.
With no space left, they have no food and recently have had to send half their people out every day to look for food.
Without the space bracelet, Su Xiao is just an ordinary person and can only stay behind.
The strongest members of the Thunderstorm team are Long Che and Du Shufeng. They used to act together, but now they have to act separately, with only half of them going out at a time.
As a result, the food they found was either not enough to eat or very unpalatable.
——This makes it really difficult for people who are used to relying on space to adapt.
All their things are in the space. In the past, Su Xiao would just take out whatever she needed, but now she has to go out and find whatever she needs.
Outside, zombies are everywhere and it is extremely dangerous.
On this day, the food they found was just enough to keep them half full.
"Fuck! I can't stand it anymore!" Zhang Qiang punched the door.
They were afraid that Baizhi would run away, so everyone was now living in the corridor, blocking the door.
"When this door is opened, I will throw Su Baizhi into the pile of zombies and watch her being eaten by them bite by bite!" Du Shufeng said with a gloomy face.
"Yes, when the time comes, chop off her hands and feet, give her a good beating, and then throw her into the pile of zombies!"
"That's not enough. If you make me live like this, I'll beat you up and kill you!"
They were discussing how to torture and kill Su Baizhi, when a person with special abilities suddenly said -
"It's been five days and she hasn't come out. It seems she could open up space."
Suddenly, the corridor was quiet for a moment.
Then, the voice sounded again——
"Su Xiao, since you guessed that she might be able to use the bracelet, you should have killed her directly instead of keeping this evil with you."
"Yes, she is hiding in the laboratory this time. We can still guard the door. What if she runs away with the space?"
"We don't know when the boss will reach level two, so we have to stay here and guard him!"
"Fuck, I have no food to eat and no clothes to wear. This life is enough!"
…
Su Xiao opened her mouth but didn't dare to speak.
She wanted to say that she usually wore the bracelet on her hand and hid it inside her clothes very well. The reason why Mo Baizhi got it this time was entirely because she did it on purpose!
But Su Xiao knew that if she said that, these people would not know how to scold her.
She pursed her lips and lowered her head.
Long Che took a look and sighed, "She can't stay in there forever. Besides, I can feel that I'm not far from the second level. Maybe I just need an opportunity. Let's hold on for a while."
After saying that, he looked at Su Xiao again: "When the time comes, we must kill her."
Su Xiao nodded sharply.
She had already decided not to play with Su Baizhi anymore, and it would be safer to kill her.
Su Xiao prayed to get the interspatial bracelet quickly. She could sense that these people already had a rift with her, and as time went on, they looked at her with growing dissatisfaction...
This dissatisfaction.
Finally, a few days later, one of the members lost his life while out collecting supplies, reaching the climax.
That member's strength was average, and he was able to join them because his brother was the earth-type mutant Wang Fangyuan!
"My brother is dead! My brother is dead!" Wang Fangyuan roared.
"Fang Yuan, calm down."
"How can I stay calm?! All my relatives are dead, and I only have this one brother! Du Shufeng, what happened to you today? You were the one who led the team out today!" Wang Fangyuan glared at Du Shufeng.
Du Shufeng wanted to say something, but someone quickly pulled him, so he endured it and didn't open his mouth.
"And you! If you hadn't insisted on keeping Su Baizhi, how could this have happened?!" Wang Fangyuan glared at Su Xiao again, his eyes full of anger.
If Su Baizhi hadn't taken away the space, they wouldn't have to split up their forces, let alone go out to find food from the pile of zombies, and his brother wouldn't have gotten into trouble!
"I..." Su Xiao subconsciously took a step back with fear on her face.
Wang Fangyuan looked at her as if he wanted to kill her!
"Fang Yuan! Calm down. We're all very sad that your brother is in trouble, but survival in the apocalypse is difficult. Not to mention your brother, you and I could also be in trouble at any time."
Long Che patted his shoulder, sighed deeply, and spoke soothingly, "You can't hate Su Xiao. It's because of Su Xiao that our team was able to survive the apocalypse and make it this far. Su Baizhi is the one who caused all of this. Wait until I open the door and catch Su Baizhi, then I'll hand her over to you!"
After a pause, he continued, "I can feel that I'm only a little bit away from reaching the second level. Tomorrow I'll go out and fight the high-level zombies and absorb the crystal cores in their heads. Then I'll be able to open this door tomorrow!"
After hearing this, Wang Fangyuan gradually calmed down.
——Their team cannot do without Su Xiao.
Space is really too important. Only Su Xiao can use the space. In order to survive in the future, he cannot really quarrel with Su Xiao.
It seems that Su Baizhi can also use space?
If Su Baizhi could be controlled...
As soon as this thought arose, Wang Fangyuan immediately dismissed it.
Because he knew that Long Che was on Su Xiao's side, and the space could only be given to Su Xiao and could not be taken by Su Baizhi. They must kill Su Baizhi!
Wang Fangyuan's eyes were red as he stared fiercely at the door.
"Su Baizhi, I will grind you into ashes!"
Su Xiao and the others also looked over and stared at the door.
Everything will be fine tomorrow. Tomorrow they will be able to open the door and deal with Su Baizhi!
At this time...
"Click——" the door made a sound.
Just as they stared, the door suddenly opened slowly.
Everyone was startled and stood up suddenly.
It's been almost ten days.
The door that they couldn't open no matter what actually opened automatically.
They thought they would have to wait until Long Che reached the second stage, but they didn't expect it to open now!
They didn't care what happened and rushed in immediately.
Su Xiao is in the front.
She was so impatient that she wanted to take back her own space. She felt too insecure without it.
Not only does she want to take the space back, she also wants to kill Su Baizhi quickly!
When they entered the laboratory, they found that it was very clean and tidy, and very spacious, with countless instruments and some miscellaneous things placed there.
The Su Baizhi they were looking for...
Right now, I'm opposite the door, at the innermost part of the room!
There was a computer in front of her and she was sitting on a chair with a very calm expression.
"Su Baizhi!" Su Xiao gritted her teeth.
Bai Zhi raised her eyes to look at them and suddenly sneered: "I thought you could get in on your own, but I never expected... you to be such a loser."
She seemed to have changed a lot. She was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a white coat, and even a pair of white gloves on her hands. She looked calm and confident.
That pair of gold-rimmed glasses gave her a completely different aura. She seemed like a military strategist who could plan everything, a superior with awe-inspiring power, or an omnipotent... god.
In such troubled times, wearing all white is simply crazy.
She laughed at them for being useless?
Du Shufeng couldn't bear it anymore, so he raised his hand and a ball of fire flew from his hand towards Bai Zhi.
It happened so fast that others didn't even have time to stop it!
Of course, they didn't want to stop it.
Su Baizhi deserves to die, but it's a pity that burning her to death is too easy. She should be tortured to death.
However……
"Bang——" The ball of fire seemed to hit something and slowly went out in the middle, without attacking Su Baizhi inside at all!
Everyone's pupils shrank.
It was also at this time that they suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something transparent like glass in the middle of the laboratory!
But this thing was like a door that they could not open no matter how hard they tried. Every time they attacked it, they were blocked.
"What is this?!" Du Shufeng said in shock.
He attacked the transparent barrier again and again, but was blocked every time!
The barrier was still there, and Su Baizhi was still sitting there calmly, looking at them with a half-smile.
Su Xiao was anxious about her own space, so she took a few steps forward and reached the barrier. She seemed to have bumped into the glass and was blocked outside.
She groped around and found that the barrier seemed to divide the entire laboratory into two parts, and they had no way of getting through the barrier!
"Get out of the way, let me do it!" Zhang Qiang shouted and rushed forward with his hammer.
"Bang--"
The huge impact made Zhang Qiang's palms numb and his body shook.
However, the barrier remains intact.
The others widened their eyes again.
Even a power-type mutant can't break this thing with a hammer?
What the hell is this?!
They were making a lot of noise upstairs, and some people with special abilities downstairs were peeking into the corridor to watch.
"Get out of here!" The members of the Thunderstorm Team used their special powers to drive people away.
Those people slipped away immediately.
But there are too many types of superpowers, including clairvoyance, super hearing, invisibility, etc. Their every move may still be under the surveillance of others.
But now, they can't care about it anymore.
——The important thing is that they must take back the space!
Long Che suddenly calmed down and looked at her with a serious face: "Su Baizhi, is this your confidence?"
No wonder she suddenly let them in, it turns out she had the confidence!
But what exactly is this thing?
Was it already there in the original laboratory?
If it already existed, how did Su Baizhi get in?
If she can get in, they can definitely get in too!
As Long Che thought about this, he couldn't help but look around, trying to find some kind of mechanism.
Bai Zhi said calmly, "Don't look for it. This is something I made myself. No one can open it except me."
"When will you do this?" Su Xiao frowned.
Baizhi didn't answer.
Long Che looked at Su Baizhi, who was so close to them but they couldn't catch her, and his face looked extremely ugly.
After a long while, he snorted coldly, "Do you think you can hide in there forever? There is indeed a lot of food in this space, but the food inside will also spoil and rot. You can't hide in there forever!"
Du Shufeng also said with a gloomy face, "Su Baizhi, I advise you to come out honestly and return the space to us. We will let you go cleanly, otherwise... we will tear you into pieces! After we reach the second level, these little tricks of yours will not be able to stop us!"
"Even if you reach the third or fourth level, you won't be able to break my stuff." Bai Zhi slowly stood up and straightened her clothes with her clean white gloves.
Then, she raised her chin slightly, her eyes showing a hint of pride: "But you are right, I really won't stay here forever."
Everyone in the Thunderstorm Team was looking at her. There was a barrier between them, so they couldn't get in and naturally couldn't do anything. They could only look at Su Baizhi and see what she was going to do.
Why on earth had she suddenly let them in?
What is this woman's purpose?
Is there a trap?
No, she doesn't have special powers, she can't do anything to them!
This thought made them feel a little more at ease.
Just as they were suspicious, Bai Zhi slowly took off her gloves and took something out of the drawer.
Jade bracelet.
—but it was broken.
The jade bracelet is broken! !
Su Xiao's face was full of disbelief, and anger rushed to her forehead. With a "buzz" sound, her brain seemed to explode, and it kept buzzing.
Long Che and the others also widened their eyes, staring at the broken bracelet.
"ah--"
Su Xiao screamed sharply, veins popping out of her forehead, and her voice was shrill: "Su Baizhi!! You actually destroyed my space?!"
She was really going crazy and her emotions collapsed in an instant.
That's space!
It is her golden finger, the capital for her to live a superior life in this world!
How could it break?!
How could Su Baizhi be willing to do that? !
Even a calm person like Long Che lost control. The broken bracelet was just like their broken hope, making people suddenly despair.
A strong aura of thunder and lightning appeared on his body.
“Sizzle—”
The power of thunder and lightning forced Wang Fangyuan and the others to take several steps back.
——He broke through!
Under the stimulation, Long Che suddenly broke through to the second level!
The power of the thunder and lightning in his hands seemed to have increased tenfold. With his hands open, the thunder and lightning in his palms attacked Su Baizhi fiercely with a terrifying pressure!
“Crackle—”
"Bang--"
Such powerful lightning struck the barrier. The barrier trembled slightly, but remained strong. It seemed as if it could pass through electricity, making the area around the barrier carry the power of electricity.
But it didn't reach Baizhi at all!
Su Xiao was quite close to the victim and was electrocuted on the spot. Her hair stood up, her whole body trembled, and she fell to the ground, twitching several times.
Fortunately, Long Che stopped quickly.
"Xiaoxiao!" Du Shufeng immediately went to help Su Xiao up after she convulsed.
Fortunately, it was not particularly serious. After a moment of blankness in her brain, Su Xiao gradually recovered. However, she still felt very uncomfortable all over and her face turned pale.
Seeing that she was fine, Long Che withdrew his gaze and looked at the barrier again...
He has just broken through to the second level, is there still no way?
What the hell is this?!
Baizhi was wiping her hands. Yes, because she had just picked up something, she was wiping her hands with a white handkerchief, wiping each of her fingers clean little by little.
Then she slowly put on her white gloves again.
That action was as natural as it could be. It would have been fine if it happened before the apocalypse, but it happened after the apocalypse. She had princess syndrome to begin with, and they disliked her very much.
Now they suddenly discovered that—
She is even more exaggerated than before!
However, she did everything so naturally, as if by looking at her, one would forget that it was the end of the world and that there were zombies everywhere outside.
After Bai Zhi put on the gloves, she said calmly: "Is it because you look at your own superpowers or you are still uncomfortable with not being able to break the barrier? It's just a superpower. Don't think that you are a god just because you have become a superpower."
There was a hint of contempt for people with special abilities in her tone.
This made these people with special abilities, who had been high and mighty since the end of the world, extremely hateful.
"Su, Bai, Zhi!" Wang Fangyuan gritted his teeth.
Even though he knew he couldn't hurt Baizhi, he still couldn't help but attack. Unfortunately, there was no soil here, so it was useless for him to attack the floor.
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow: "An earth-type ability user? Farming is good for you."
Wang Fangyuan: “…”
Farming?!
He was extremely angry and glared at Bai Zhi fiercely, as if he wanted to go up and bite her to death.
"Okay, let's talk about business. I always keep my word. I said I would lend you my space bracelet for a while and return you three. So I will return you three." Bai Zhi smiled slightly.
Everyone was stunned.
What?
Bai Zhi looked at Su Xiao and said, "I'm sorry, but I couldn't find any other carrier, so I broke your jade bracelet into three parts and placed a space in each part."
Su Xiao: “???”
She widened her eyes, her face pale as she yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about? Su Baizhi, are you kidding me?"
Make a space?
What a fucking braggart!
She talks as if she can do space!
The others were all looking at Bai Zhi with disbelief. They all looked at her with hatred in their eyes. If it weren't for the barrier, they would have pounced on her and torn her into pieces.
"Do you know why there is a space on your bracelet? Do you know where that space is? Do you know what created the space?" Bai Zhi suddenly asked three questions.
Su Xiao paused, then continued to stare at Su Baizhi with eyes full of hatred.
Obviously, she didn't take her words to heart at all.
Why is there a space? Of course it is her chance!
Where is the space? Inside the bracelet, of course!
What gave her space? Destiny, of course!
Bai Zhi sneered: "You guys are so stupid. I feel like it's a waste of my time to talk to you any longer."
She stepped forward again, took off her gloves, picked up a piece of jade, closed her eyes, and suddenly a box of instant noodles appeared on the ground. She raised her hand again, and the instant noodles disappeared.
Everyone widened their eyes.
Su Xiao excitedly pushed Du Shufeng away and climbed up.
Her space!!
——The space is still there!!
She threw the piece of jade on the table in front of their distressed gazes, just like throwing away garbage.
He took out a new white handkerchief and wiped his hands.
Bai Zhi threw the used handkerchief aside, put on gloves, and raised her chin slightly: "Look, the space is still there. I studied the space and learned some things. Now I come to fulfill my promise and return the three spaces to you."
Su Xiao looked at her with suspicion.
Did Su Baizhi really turn one space into three?
How is that possible?!
She still had some doubts, but she had just seen the supplies coming in and out. No matter what, as long as the space was still there, it would be fine!
"Su Baizhi, give the space back to me. If you come out, we won't kill you. You are my sister after all, and I will still send you back to the base safely!" Su Xiao stepped forward, lying on the barrier, looking at the jade bracelet on the table greedily.
Bai Zhi raised her hand and pointed at her with her white-gloved finger: "Your eyes, your expression, and your body movements all indicate that you are waiting for me to get out so that you can kill me."
Then, she shook her head: "Su Xiao, you look so stupid when you lie."
Su Xiao: “…”
This dead girl with princess syndrome is still so annoying!!
"Don't scold me, your expression tells me that you are scolding me." Bai Zhi looked at her and smiled, "If you look at me like that again, I will smash the jade bracelet completely."
Su Xiao: “…”
Frozen.
Bai Zhi retracted her gaze, glanced at the jade bracelet that had been broken into three pieces, then glanced at all the members of the Thunderstorm team, as well as a hidden corner at the door, before she slowly spoke -
"By the way, since I've already returned the three spaces to you, I'll be kind enough to change the conditions for using them. From now on, anyone can use these three spaces. Just grab them and start using them right away."
She smiled slightly: "Don't thank me too much."
