Xia Yan: You said it was a vacation? Where's the scenery? Is it zombies?...
Chapter 401 Repair
Xia Yan's emotions reached a peak the moment he was pointed at.
The next second after he reached out his hand, she pulled out the sword from the system grid, swung her hand to draw out the sharp blade, turned her wrist and cut the outstretched arm.
The sword, which could cut through iron like mud, easily broke through the fragile skin and flesh, and only paused slightly when it encountered hard bones. Then the blade would circle around the bones and cut. After returning to the starting point, the hand holding the handle made a fist and hit it hard from above.
There was a loud snap, and the man screamed in pain. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he immediately raised his left fist to smash the damn face.
Xia Yan half-knelt to avoid it, the wind from the fist whistling past his head, his eyes locked between the third and fourth ribs of his chest. When he retracted his fist to gather strength and opened his chest, he seized the opportunity and pushed the ground hard with his legs, and the sharp blade broke through and pierced straight into his body.
A surge of liquid burst out from the powerful heartbeat and spurted out through the gap.
When the liquid was about to splash onto the person in front of her, it was blocked by an invisible barrier. She calmly drew her knife, and the liquid instantly splashed out in its own shape - a transparent cube.
The incident happened suddenly and the battle was over in a few breaths.
Not only was the customer behind him dumbfounded, but even the three people three steps away didn't react.
It only takes a moment for a professional to cut someone down. As the saying goes, don't use your own amateur skills to challenge other people's livelihood.
Xia Yan retracted his sword, and the cube in front of him quickly shrank inward. The man inside covered his chest with his only intact arm, his eyes wide open in death. He could only go underground to find out who she was.
"You actually killed my eldest brother?!"
"Kill her!"
"Revenge for my brother."
The remaining three people reacted slowly, in disbelief, and rushed forward with anger rising in their hearts.
Xia Yan raised his eyes.
She was too lazy to talk nonsense and snapped her fingers three times. A transparent cube appeared silently beside her, caught her in the air and blocked her mouth.
She was tired of hearing the same words over and over again.
I called up the supermarket backend to settle the losses, deducted their points, and successfully credited a pitifully small amount of points.
How can this be enough to compensate her losses...
Xia Yan ordered the cube to turn downward, and it vibrated violently. The crystal cores fell from his pocket to the bottom with a crackling sound, spreading out in a variety of colors. When nothing could fall out, the crystal cores of the three people were gathered together to form a new small cube, which floated into his hand.
She tossed it up and down, threw it into the system grid, and let the system do the math.
Taking advantage of this moment, she walked up to the third brother and carefully examined his limbs. Noticing the wood grain on them, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "How can you use your powers here?"
How could anyone possibly break through the restrictions set by the system?
The third brother, who had been released from his restraints, suddenly threw himself on the barrier, baring his teeth and shouting, "What does my life have to do with you? If you know what's good for you, let me out right now, or you'll die without even knowing how."
The third brother just thought it was an accident. He didn't believe that she, who was so weak, could beat the eldest brother.
Not everyone here is allowed to use their superpowers, but they are strong and can easily break her neck. If the boss hadn't underestimated her and hadn't thought she was carrying a knife, how could she have been stabbed?
For the first time, Xia Yan showed a look of surprise.
"What did you say?"
The third brother struck his most ferocious and fierce posture, fully displaying his bulging muscles, and clenched his palms forcefully and slowly in front of her, causing the blood vessels on his neck to bulge.
"Don't let me crush you to death!"
Xia Yan: ...?
She was speechless. This was the first time she had seen such a stupid person.
She patted the transparent barrier and said, "Aren't you curious about why I can use my supernatural powers?"
"I don't care about you—"
“Because I’m the boss.”
"——Is it a boss?!" The third brother stepped back as if he had seen a ghost, his voice rising and sharp.
The two speechless people in the cube next to them widened their eyes when they heard this, and began to struggle with all their might, looking as if they had kicked a steel plate.
The group of customers waiting in line were no less surprised and shocked than the three of them.
"She's actually the boss here?"
"Then the fine dining restaurant and the buffet restaurant are also hers?"
"I heard that this island is also her private one."
"Not only that, I even heard from an old resident here that there's a 30-story hotel outside, with places to eat and shower inside."
"A dog can't recognize a great man. My attitude just now was okay, wasn't it? I shouldn't have said anything too much, right?"
"To be honest, man, this is the first sentence I heard you say..."
Xia Yan ignored the noise over there, looked at the third brother and asked, "Speak?"
The third brother glanced at the corpse of the eldest brother floating in the air. It had been crushed beyond recognition. He thought that such a degree of crushing would not be a problem for him. After all, his body structure was special. Although he had little offensive power, he would not die easily...
"Say you—"
Xia Yan swung his index finger in a small arc, and the cube containing the corpse suddenly shrank. With a bang, it turned into blood mud and shrank into a small red cube floating at the fingertips.
She looked at the third brother dangerously, sliding her index finger up and down, causing the cube that imprisoned him to sway up and down.
The third brother finally changed his words in fear, "I'll tell you, my ability is that my body gradually turns into wood, uncontrollably."
"But you can still move, eat, drink and talk." Xia Yan pondered.
"Yes, I can do whatever I could do before. I don't know what happened. I woke up like this."
"Are you afraid of fire?"
"...Well, am I afraid, or am I not afraid?" The third brother hesitated, avoiding his gaze and refusing to tell the truth.
Unexpectedly, Xia Yan's patience ran out, so he took out a lighter and an alcohol cube, lit them and threw them in.
"Ahhh, what are you doing!" The third brother jumped and dodged left and right.
Because the soles of his shoes were burnt, he didn't dare to step on it directly for fear of getting burned. But there was only such a small space inside, where could he hide?
In the end, it was unable to dodge and was touched by the hottest outer flame, slowly burning up.
Suddenly, a cry filled with fear was heard from the cube.
Xia Yan put out the fire after watching for a while. The third brother held the big toe that had been burned into charcoal, sobbing and pulling it off.
At this time, she saw that the neatly broken parts were not human blood vessels and bones, but the cross section of living wood. There were veins inside for transmitting nutrients, and it was repairing itself at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It's a bit magical.
"Boss Xia."
At this moment, she heard a familiar voice in her ears. Turning around, she saw Dean Ji and his researcher who came to do the shopping once a week.
"This man," Dean Ji said, pointing excitedly at the man jumping up and down inside, "is very valuable for research. Could you please ask Boss Xia to show some mercy and hand him over to me?"
This was the first time he encountered someone with the unique ability to self-repair. If he was right, this person was not within the zombies' attack range!
