Rebirth in the Apocalypse: Raising Cubs to Become a God

In her previous life, Jiang Ruan finally defeated the final invaders with her supreme martial prowess and superpowers, preparing to ascend the supreme throne and lead humanity towards a new dawn.

Chapter 43 Phantom

Seeing Jiang Ruan's gratified expression, Zhang Yang felt a surge of excitement, but even more so, joy, because he sensed an unusual power within him, spreading throughout his entire body.

"I finally have superpowers! I don't have to be laughed at by that guy Li Ming anymore." Zhang Yang almost jumped up, and even wanted to hug Jiang Ruan, because having superpowers gave him another bargaining chip in his revenge.

Even more valuable than physical strength is superpowers.

He could clearly sense his supernatural abilities; it wasn't one, but two, though he couldn't quite put his finger on what they were, so he looked to Jiang Ruan for help.

"They are fire-type and poison-type abilities, very good results." Jiang Ruan saw the doubt in his eyes and spoke calmly.

In every era, people are known for their fondness and respect for those with outstanding abilities, and trying to win them over or defeat them is a challenge for anyone.

This challenge held a fatal attraction for Du Ning, because he dreamed of possessing such a superpower.

Fire-based superpowers, as the name suggests, are the ability to manipulate fire. Not only can they turn their bodies into flames and use destructive, extremely hot flames to attack, but they can also create a fiery passage in an explosion or a sea of ​​fire to protect those inside from harm.

Just like in cartoons, it is both magical and deadly.

As for poison-based abilities, they grant the user the ability to emit toxins for attack and defense, and more importantly, they have a certain corrosive effect on zombies.

Each one, taken individually, is tempting.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yang possesses both.

Du Ning's jealous gaze was practically spitting fire. He even wanted to rush over and snatch the sword that Du Ning was admiring in his hand, because he felt that it was the key.

"I never expected this, I really never expected this. Now, I can take on a hundred zombies by myself without any problem." Zhang Yang was enthusiastic about attacking the zombies that appeared later. Seeing that he had made a qualitative leap in his abilities, he was extremely excited.

Even Du Ning, who was startled by his gaze, now seemed more pleasing to him.

"That's true, but with your current abilities and energy, it's really difficult to unleash it to its full potential."

In her previous life, Jiang Ruan had seen someone use one of these types of physiques. Her former deputy had this physique. Later, as the number of battles and level increased, he gained more energy and was able to unleash 70% of his strength in the final battle.

Zhang Yang is currently only unleashing 5% of his full potential, which hardly qualifies him as formidable.

However, it's enough to deal with ordinary zombies.

"When can I do that?" Zhang Yang's arrogance subsided somewhat, and he asked with a frown.

"I'll tell you when the time comes. Now is not the time to discuss these things." Jiang Ruan leaned forward and glanced at Du Ning, indicating that there were still outsiders present, and it wouldn't be beneficial for them if too many people knew about matters concerning superpowers.

Zhang Yang turned his head and looked over, then sheathed his sword at his waist.

"Should we...?" Zhang Yang made a fist with four fingers pointing towards Du Ning, and drew a half circle with his thumb across his neck, making a gesture.

"There's no need for that. Haven't you heard? It's a society governed by law. We shouldn't dirty our hands. Now that we've finished, it's time to go back." Jiang Ruan had no desire to continue arguing with him.

Moreover, his presence here really hinders communication with the child.

Speaking of the baby, Jiang Ruan walked to Du Ning's side, squatted down and looked at him, "You're probably going to be a father soon, right? Isn't it said that even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness? I'm giving you a gift, I hope you'll accept it with a smile."

He then reached out and handed a packet of powder to Du Ning, saying, "This is an excellent medicine to ward off zombies. Applying it all over your body will prevent you from being chased by zombies."

Du Ning took it, gave a wry smile, and said, "Have you forgotten that I was the one who lured those zombies here? Do you think I'd be afraid of that?"

"It's not for you, it's for the child. The child is innocent, and no matter how much hatred we have, it shouldn't involve the next generation. We can't let him be harmed."

Besides, he might not be as daring as you.

Du Ning pondered Jiang Ruan's words and found them very reasonable. He put the medicine packet into his pocket, swallowed his words of thanks again and again, and ultimately did not say them.

But Jiang Ruan didn't care, because what she gave was not the powder from the medicine packet, but the brown paper of the medicine packet itself.

It is not ordinary paper, but a kind of paper with a sticky virus. Only the first person who comes into contact with it, besides Jiang Ruan, will be infected with the virus, while everyone else will be safe and sound.

As for what kind of virus it is, Jiang Ruan isn't that ruthless. It's just a virus that suppresses his superpowers. As long as he touches the medicine pack, he can forget about awakening his superpowers so quickly, and leveling up is even more of a pipe dream.

Jiang Ruan left with Zhang Yang, having achieved her goal. Wang Zhongyi also admitted it, Zhang Yang's superpowers awakened, and even the scumbag Du Ning who was involved was punished.

Just before I left, Du Ning's voice sounded behind me, urgent and yearning, "Um, you really won't forgive me? I admit that before..."

"Du Ning, enough with the nonsense. You don't actually believe your own fake, deeply affectionate persona, do you? I'm not seeing you!"

After saying that, the two left without looking back. Just as they were about to close the door, a dark shadow flashed past them, followed by a scream, "Ah!"

"Huh???" The two turned around at the same time. Du Ning, who had been lying there, was gone. All that was left was the cushion he had been lying on, which was stained with blood.

"What the hell was that? In the middle of the night, is it really a ghost?" Zhang Yang gripped the hilt of his sword, cautiously observing his surroundings. The dark figure was too fast; it didn't even leave a footprint.

"Phantom! I didn't expect it to be here so early." Jiang Ruan murmured to herself, unaware of Zhang Yang watching her in surprise.

"What is that? I've never even heard of it!"

Compared to Zhang Yang's tension and doubt, Jiang Ruan was much calmer and slowly said, "A mysterious organization, each member possessing unique skills, uses the control of zombies as their main means and attack ability, and is the nemesis of superhumans."

"Then why did they take Du Ning away? Could it be..." Zhang Yang thought of a possibility.

Jiang Ruan glanced at him and added, "That's right, because he just attracted zombies, and not just any zombies, but the leader of this area, the one that had been trapped in the first-floor apartment."

Zhang Yang seemed thoughtful, then said jokingly, "Looks like they've taken him as an accomplice and pulled him into the organization?"

Jiang Ruan was about to explain further, but the oppressive and uneasy feeling she had before leaving returned, so she quickly shouted at Zhang Yang, "Whatever, let's go back!"
