Chapter 86 How could such a brilliant mind come up with such a terrible idea?

They didn't stop along the way or collect any more supplies, heading straight for the base.

The three withdrew from the rescue team, and with Meng Qingyue and Gu Jinchen dying at the Central Hospital, they worried that someone would make things difficult for their families.

None of the three said anything, but Meng Shiwan could guess their feelings. Lei Zhe was still injured, so it would be better for him to return to the base as soon as possible.

Su Su watched the shops slowly receding on both sides of the road.

The shop was full of supplies.

Because there are too many zombies in the central area, even people with superpowers rarely come here, and the nearby resources are very abundant.

This is the end of the world.

These are supplies.

My sister clearly had the ability to collect them, but she paved the way ahead and never stopped once because of these supplies.

We're all smart people; we can all guess some of it.

Tao Yarong and her family members are at the base, and Lei Zhe is still seriously injured. They all want to return to the base as soon as possible.

My sister must have guessed how they felt, which is why she ignored the supplies on the roadside.

Su Su thought they were right. Despite her aloof and cold demeanor, she was actually very kind at heart.

He didn't show it on his face, but he quietly took care of each team member's feelings.

Su Su asked in the group chat, "Have you guys ever seen 'kind villains' online? I feel like this kind villain is you, sister?"

Tao Yarong looked puzzled. "No, what kind of kind villain?"

After the three of them joined the rescue team, they were either training or on missions, and rarely had time to go online.

Su Su explained, "Some people online are saying that there's a girl who kills without blinking an eye, who will attack anyone she crosses without hesitation, showing no mercy whatsoever. They all say this girl is a villain."

The reason this villain is considered kind is because wherever the girl appears, she clears away the surrounding zombies.

On one side are ruthless killers, and on the other is a girl quietly clearing out zombies and providing great safety to the survivors. They call this girl a kind-hearted villain.

Now that I think about it, isn't this exactly my sister's style?

At the central hospital, the sister was efficient in clearing out zombies and didn't care much for the survivors.

When encountering timid, hesitant survivors, Meng Shiwan only had one cold, indifferent sentence.

Go if you want, or don't; if you don't go, you'll just die.

They looked fierce and ruthless, but in reality, they wiped out all the zombies, and all the survivors were rescued.

Cold on the outside but warm on the inside—that's exactly what describes this person.

Qiu Zhiyi recalled that when he first met Meng Shiwan, Meng Shiwan said fiercely that she would only take him, the water-type ability user, and that the other survivors were not part of the mission and should not be taken care of.

As it turned out, she was being hypocritical and ended up saving everyone along the way.

He concluded, "Based on this description, it must be my sister."

If he hadn't met Meng Shiwan and gotten to know her personality up close, he wouldn't have been able to imagine how the words "kindness" and "villain" could be put together.

Lei Zhe had plenty of free time while lying down, so he immediately went online to search.

"It really is true, just like my personality. Sis, is this kind-hearted villain on the internet you?"

Meng Shiwan was munching on an ice cream cone. "Maybe," she said, "I don't care what other people think."

Lei Zhe concluded, "It's confirmed, this is my personality, I'm that kind-hearted villain."

I think whoever came up with this term is a genius; they must know me very well to be able to hit the nail on the head.

Luckily, Zhang Qiang didn't hear these words, otherwise he would have said something like, "My sister treated me like a zombie carrot for a whole day, how could she not understand my sister's personality?"

Lei Zhe lay on his small bedding, enjoying the air conditioning, with a pile of snacks beside him, looking quite relaxed.

Even after his injury, he began to enjoy life.

They chatted idly in the group chat from time to time as they traveled.

Lei Zhe was lying there with nothing to do, so he thought he'd try to release his superpowers and see if his injuries would have any impact.

He used his lightning-based powers to strike the zombies outside, and with one strike, Lei Zhe was stunned.

He sat up in shock, staring at the large number of zombies lying around the truck, and looked at his hands in disbelief.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, is this my superpower? Is this really my superpower?"

Based on his previous level of superpowers, killing a dozen or twenty zombies would be the absolute maximum.

But now, seeing a vacuum zone carved out around the truck, with at least a hundred or two zombies, he was truly shocked.

When did he become so awesome?

Tao Yarong was stunned as she looked at the charred zombies lying all around her.

"Did you chop this up? Are you sure it wasn't my superpower?"

In their understanding, only Meng Shiwan currently possesses the ability to kill a large number of zombies at once.

Lei Zhe was starting to doubt himself. He unleashed his power again, hacking down a large number of the zombies that had surged forward once more.

"It's me, it's me! I feel like my superpowers are many times stronger than before. Even after being seriously injured, my superpowers could still surge!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Shiwan: ...

Was it his severe injury that caused his powers to surge?

She fed him that power-enhancing liquid because she was afraid he would die.

As the saying goes, where there is a sleeping dragon, there is a phoenix chick.

Tao Yarong was incredibly envious. "Is this for real? Next time, stay away from me and let me take the hit."

How long would it take for a superpower to reach such a level?

Now you only need to suffer a serious injury to get it, which is a good deal.

Meng Shiwan: ...

This thought process is truly something else.

Who knew there were even more bizarre thought processes?

Anjiewen gave a very profound analysis: "Suppose that if being shot once can make one's superpowers many times stronger, does that mean that if I shoot myself, but not in a vital spot, and suffer for a while, I can gain even stronger superpowers?"

That way, I'll become stronger and won't be a burden to my sister anymore.

Meng Shiwan: ? ? ?

Qiu Zhiyi chimed in, "Although I studied medicine, I feel that theory alone is insufficient, but the current situation is special and cannot be defined using conventional theories."

"I think you can give it a try. Su Su and I will prepare the surgical supplies. After you shoot yourself, we'll quickly perform surgery on you to minimize your pain. Let's see what we can do."

Meng Shiwan: !!!

She gritted her teeth, "That's enough."

What kind of teammates does she choose?

How could such a brilliant mind come up with such a terrible idea?

Tao Yarong shouted earnestly, "Sister, I think it's really worth a try. If getting injured can increase your superpowers, and a few bullet holes in my body can lead to a surge in superpowers, then I won't be a burden to you anymore. I think it's worth it."

They spoke with far too much seriousness and were full of longing.

Meng Shiwan had no doubt that these people might actually want to give it a try after returning to the base.

Is this really a terrible idea that a normal person would come up with?

She took two deep breaths and asked, "What are the rules for our team?"

Lei Zhe answered the fastest, "No betrayal, no giving up, let's work together."

Meng Shiwan pursed her lips, and after a long while, she slowly spoke, "Now that we're teammates, there's something I won't hide from you."

The group immediately perked up their ears to listen, sensing that what Meng Shiwan was about to say must be something important.

Meng Shiwan continued, "I have a kind of medicine that can enhance one's superpowers after drinking it. Lei Zhe's superpowers were enhanced because I gave him one when he was injured."

The group was utterly shocked.

Tao Yarong said in a hoarse voice, "So that's how it is. It wasn't because of the injury that his superpowers surged. That's just too incredible."

Lei Zhe felt a chill run down his spine. "It's truly incredible. I now seriously suspect that my ability level may have reached level four."

Anjiewen pressed further, "So, your superpower level is so high because you took this kind of drug, that's why you're so powerful?"

Qiu Zhiyi recalled that when he was preparing for surgery, Meng Shiwan did indeed give Lei Zhe something.

It comes in a pale white, transparent tube.

At the time, he thought that Meng Shiwan would never harm Lei Zhe, so he didn't pay attention. It turns out that it can increase superpowers.

He slapped his thigh. "So that's how it is. Has the base already developed a drug that can enhance superpowers?"

He believed that if such a good thing really existed, it must be the result of a joint research effort by various researchers gathered at the base.

Meng Shiwan reminded him, "It wasn't developed by the base; I have it, and currently only I have it. Besides you few, no one else knows about it."

The group's shocked minds immediately began to work.

Meng Shiwan has already made it very clear to them.

She alone possesses this potion, and no one else knows about it. This incredible treasure must be kept secret.

If people found out, countless people would come knocking on our door.

Either they try to win them over or they just rob them outright; this will inevitably lead to endless trouble.

They were deeply moved that such a big secret had been revealed to them.

Lei Zhe assured her, "Sis, since you trust us so much, even if I die, I will never tell anyone."

Tao Yarong chimed in, "Yes, yes, I absolutely won't say a word about it."

Anjavin said, "I will keep it a secret."

Qiu Zhiyi nodded, "I'll keep it a secret too."

Su Su added, "I'll keep it a secret too."

In their hearts, Meng Shiwan was more than just a team leader.

During her mission at the Central Hospital, she truly saved their lives.

This operation solidified their relationship, as evidenced by Lei Zhe's willingness to shield Meng Shiwan from harm.

After making those promises, they became concerned with another issue.

Tao Yarong whimpered, "Sister, this, this medicine, could it be, just..."

She wanted to ask if she could sell them some.

But she felt that asking this question was a bit shameless, and she was a little embarrassed to ask it out loud.

Such a precious item, even setting aside its rarity, might be too expensive for them to afford.

For a moment, she didn't know how to start the conversation.

At this moment, Meng Shiwan's voice rang out, "I have two kinds of potions. One is called Ability Restoration Liquid. After drinking it, the depleted abilities in your body can instantly return to their peak state. It costs one hundred crystal cores per vial."

The other one is the ability-enhancing fluid. You all know its effects. It costs 200 crystal cores per vial. If you have any crystal cores, you can buy it from me.

When it comes to shamelessness, no one can compare to Meng Shiwan.

She sells them at double the price and still makes a profit from the middleman's markup.

Even the system couldn't stand it anymore, saying, "You're shameless."
