Chapter 765 The Apocalypse Has Truly Arrived (12)

"My child has a fever again, can you help me find some medicine?"

Nobody paid any attention to her.

More than thirty people have died trying to find medicine for her child, and the child wasn't even theirs.

Sean Ming would never leave his younger brother's side. Their parents were gone, and his brother was his only family and his responsibility.

Others are not.

As for that couple...

There were only a few of them left in the villa, and all the rooms were empty. They chose a room on the second floor and went back to their room to rest after getting Yang Shu's permission. There had been too many people around these past few days, and they hadn't slept well.

The woman was stunned; she wanted to accuse them of failing to help her in her time of need.

But in the entire villa, she seemed to be the weakest!

With Zheng Miaomiao dead, no one will speak up for her anymore.

She was a loving mother, and finally gritted her teeth and drove off with her child to find medicine.

Since the Yang family had run out of food anyway, she decided to find another way out.

At 1 a.m., acid rain fell, and it will continue to fall for a whole day.

Xiao Zhongming was busy in the space all night. The next morning, after breakfast, Ning Yan suggested that everyone go out in the rain.

"What? Get caught in the rain? But the color of this rain looks wrong, it's dark green. If we get caught in the rain, will we get infected and turn into zombies?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen. The post before the apocalypse mentioned this rain. Anyone who got wet in the rain gained superpowers. If you don't want to become superpowered, you don't have to go..."

With a whoosh, all four of them, including Xiao Zhongming, rushed into the rain.

The group endured the sour smell and stood in the rain for more than ten minutes before asking Ning Yan, "Is that enough time?"

Ning Yan nodded, and then they ran into the house.

"Can I take a shower?"

Ning Yan nodded again.

They all went back to their rooms to clean up, and Ning Yan resigned herself to wiping the rainwater off the floor.

That night, all four of them fell into a coma.

A day later, Wu Yue was the first to wake up; she had awakened her water-based superpowers.

Although the amount of water is small, after the acid rain, the water source is no longer drinkable, and people outside would be scrambling to get her, a water-type ability user.

Then it's Ning's mom.

She awakened her fire-based superpowers.

Two middle-aged women standing together will have no worries about food.

Two days later, Ning's father awakened his metal-type superpower.

As soon as he came out, in order to show off his superpower, he turned the ashtray in his house into gold, saying, "When the apocalypse ends, Dad can survive with this gold-making skill."

Are you sure gold will still fetch a good price by then?

Ning's father: ...

The three of them awakened their superpowers in as little as three days.

However, Xiao Zhongming still hadn't woken up by the fourth day.

Ning Yan was worried, so she stayed in Xiao Zhongming's room that night, afraid that something might happen to him when he awakened his supernatural abilities. She gave him cup after cup of spiritual spring water to drink.

On the fifth day, the man finally woke up.

The first thing he did upon waking up wasn't to test his superpowers, but to beg for food.

Ning Yan brought him some lean meat porridge, vegetable buns, and a few side dishes. She waited until he had almost finished eating before asking him what was wrong.

"Have you awakened two superpowers?"

Xiao Zhongming nodded.

"Lightning and Wood elements."

Ning Yan strongly suspected that it was because he had contracted the planting space in the wooden sign that he had this extra wood element.

However, this is a good opportunity. From now on, he will be in charge of all the farming and vegetable growing.

Hmm, it seems that even those without wood-based abilities are under his jurisdiction.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Xiao Zhongming quickly took a shower, and then pulled Ning Yan aside for a passionate kiss.

"Shall we go into the space tonight?"

Ning Yan understood his implication, but deliberately laughed it off: "You want me to be your chores? Don't even think about it, I want to sleep."

Xiao Zhongming ran his fingers through her hair, gently stroking it, "Sleep after you've finished your hard labor..."

Even though the two were embracing, he deliberately leaned close to Ning Yan's ear and whispered, "Didn't you say you'd only know if you were satisfied after trying it? I've been waiting for you to unpack and review it."

Ning Yan: ...Sure enough, when men get flirtatious, women have nothing on them.

She quickly sat up. "Okay, hurry up and go downstairs. Your family is worried about you."

Xiao Zhongming stood up helplessly. "Okay, let's go."

Downstairs, all three parents were present.

"Finally awake! Zhongming, is anything wrong? Did you awaken any special abilities?"

Xiao Zhong sat down next to Ning Yan and then respectfully answered his elder's question: "I'm fine, I don't feel uncomfortable at all. I now have dual abilities in lightning and wood elements."

"Dual superpowers? Aren't you incredibly lucky?!"

Ning's mother was extremely envious. She actually wanted a wood-type ability even more, so she could grow flowers, grass, and vegetables. She thought this ability would definitely be very popular in the future.

Wu Yue was also happy for her son, since any superpower was better than her water tap anyway.

After saying a few words, Ning Yan reminded everyone: "Everyone needs to be more careful in the future. Humans have awakened superpowers, and zombies that have been rained on have also evolved. When killing zombies, check their heads because they have produced crystal cores."

On the third day after the acid rain, the water and power were cut off, and many people had already driven away from the city with their families and supplies. This was because someone had received news that a survival base had been built in the north of the country. It was originally a large research base, with few villages around and naturally fewer zombies, making it relatively safe for humans.

In addition, there are some medium-sized and small bases established by large families that are recruiting people, especially those with superpowers. As long as they go there, they can be provided with accommodation and a good living environment.

When are we leaving?

Ning Yan: "Anytime is fine, whatever you say."

For her, going to the base was like a vacation; no matter when or where, she would never compromise herself.

"Let's go with the main group, it'll be safer," Wu Yue said.

Ning's parents nodded, "Then let's set off immediately. Yan Yan and Zhong Ming, you two pack up your things at home and take everything you can, so we don't have to buy things at the base."

Ning's mother specifically reminded them, "Please bring the bed and mattress from our room. I'm used to sleeping in them, and I'm afraid I'll have trouble sleeping if I change to something else."

They decided to leave on a whim. It took them a little time to pack up their belongings. After that, they left behind the RV they were going to drive on the road, and packed up all the other vehicles in the garage.

In the city, cars drove one after another towards the outskirts of the city.

When they occasionally encounter zombies, these people don't get out of the car to deal with them; they mostly just go around them, and if they can't go around them, they just run them over.

Zombie corpses can be seen almost everywhere on the streets.

Not everyone has Ning Yan's methods, killing zombies and burning them casually. Even with the car windows closed, you can still smell a faint, unpleasant odor when passing by those corpses.

Ning Yan also saw a mutual aid team composed of property management staff and residents in the community. There were about a hundred people in the team, and more than twenty vehicles were involved. The looted supplies were transported in a large truck. It looked quite impressive.
