Chapter 22 Heaven Has Eyes

The woman, oblivious to Ling Ran's supernatural abilities, nodded hurriedly, "Delicious, delicious! My dad used to be a chef!"

Ling Ran's eyes lit up when he heard that the woman came from a professional family.

At a time when all flying ability users were only at level two and could only fly a distance of five or six meters, Ling Ran flew directly to the twelfth floor where the woman was.

Seeing Ling Ran defying Newton's laws and suspending himself in mid-air, the woman felt a tremendous shock to her.

However, she didn't show it on her face, but instead said in a very ingratiating way, "Sir, would you like me to help you in?"

"Need not."

Ling Ran flew directly in through the window. When she landed inside, she first looked around the house and was surprised to find it to be fairly clean.

Seemingly noticing Ling Ran's confusion, the woman explained, "After the apocalypse, we lived down from the 33rd floor, so the houses are still quite clean. I also tidy them up regularly."

"Um."

"Sir, my name is Liu Xiuping, you can just call me Xiao Liu."

Ling Ran sat down on a clean wooden stool: "Who are those two people to you?"

“Yes…” Liu Xiuping hesitated for a moment, but still said, “That man is my husband. We used to live on the top floor. After the apocalypse, he awakened a power-type ability. As for the other woman, she is a college student on the twentieth floor. She was the only one in her family who wasn’t infected by the virus. In order to survive, she submitted to my husband…”

"Oh, so if I kill your husband, you won't hate me?"

“Why would I hate my father? I wish he were dead!” Liu Xiuping’s eyes were filled with intense hatred. “He took away my family’s vast business. Liu Family Restaurant was my father’s life’s work, and it always had a good reputation. But after he passed away, I was too incompetent. I had no ability to manage it. All I could do was cook. Step by step, he took it all away from me…”

"Alright."

Ling Ran interrupted her, showing no interest in the complicated love-hate relationship between Liu Xiuping and her husband. Of course, based on what she had said, it was easy to guess what would happen next.

"Where is the crystal core you mentioned?"

"It's in the room, I'll go get it for you."

Liu Xiuping hurriedly went into the room and soon came out with a small cardboard box. There were quite a few crystal cores inside; she estimated that there were over a hundred.

"These all belong to Wang Cheng. He has superpowers, but he didn't know how to absorb these crystal cores, so he kept them until last month when he found out. Since then, he absorbs the crystal cores every day to increase his strength. He said he's a level two strength-type superpower user, but..."

Ling Ran casually grabbed a handful of crystal cores from the box and began absorbing them: "But what?"

"Even if he is a level two ability user, he doesn't dare to go down because he said there is a very dangerous aura down there, at least a level two or even a level three zombie. So we have been staying on the twelfth floor for several days and we have not dared to go down."

As for supplies, they had long since eaten them all; they had been robbing others. Those people either turned into zombies, were killed by Wang Cheng, or, when Wang Cheng couldn't hold them off, were simply pushed to feed the zombies.

Liu Xiuping was genuinely afraid of Wang Cheng, terrified of him from the bottom of her heart, so in order to survive, she had no choice but to compromise and submit.

Now that such a beast has died, she can only say that God has eyes.

"Oh? There might be level three zombies?"

Ling Ran immediately released her spiritual energy to probe downwards, but was disappointed.

There are level 2 zombies, but no level 3 zombies.

However, a level 2 zombie is fine too; it's better than a regular zombie.

She wasn't in a hurry to kill the zombie. Under Liu Xiuping's shocked gaze, she absorbed all the crystal cores in less than two minutes.
