Chapter 96 When Gods Are Worshipped

Zhang Qiang completely exploded, letting out a loud bang.

"What? What did you say? I'm an eight-elemental ability user, and a level five one at that?"

His mind went completely blank; he seemed to have encountered information that was difficult to process.

The loud bang silenced the entire villa for a moment.

Sweepers, moppers, cooks, and stir-fries all rushed out from all directions, dozens of eyes staring intently at Tao Yarong.

Tao Yarong's ears were sore from his banging that she silently took a few steps back to keep her distance from him.

Zhang Qiang was still standing there like a statue, trying to process the information from that sentence.

Tao Lina, carrying a shovel, asked, "Who? Who's the 8-series?"

"An eight-elemental ability user? Who? Your captain?"

"Eight elements? Are you kidding me? And it's level five? How strong must it be?"

Tao Yarong shrugged. "Otherwise, how do you think we managed to rescue Qiu Zhiyi and the others from the Central Hospital and come back alive?"

Why did we leave the rescue team and follow my sister?

"Where did my sister get so many points to allow you all to live such a good life?"

Everyone fell silent; the news was simply too shocking.

With the arrival of the apocalypse, everyone is paying close attention to and learning about people with superpowers.

They knew how low the probability of becoming a superhuman was.

They also know that it is very difficult for superhumans to level up.

So far, they have only heard of one dual-elemental ability user.

Now, someone from the Eighth Bureau suddenly appears, right next to them. How can this not be shocking?

Ge Cuilan muttered to herself, "I knew this captain was strong, but I didn't expect him to be this strong."

"Who can disagree? That's amazing!"

They had previously worried that it wouldn't be a wise decision for some of them to leave the rescue team and follow this young girl.

It seems there's nothing safer than following this captain.

The RV was soundproof, so Meng Shiwan was unaware of the commotion inside the villa; she was focused on counting the crystal cores in the basket.

"Two hundred and twenty-six, plus the previous three hundred and forty-two, now there are a total of five hundred and sixty-eight."

She exhaled softly; the volume could be expanded by more than 500 cubic meters. This time, she felt more confident about going out to stock up on goods.

Otherwise, it's quite distressing to find supplies but have nowhere to store them.

However, she didn't rush to use it to expand the space; she kept it for later and expanded it when she needed it more.

It would be troublesome if something else happened along the way and you needed the crystal core but didn't have it.

She had just finished tidying up when Tao Yarong messaged her, inviting her to dinner.

"Ta Xue, wanna go together?"

"Meow."

Ta Xue jumped onto Meng Shiwan's shoulder and continued to follow her around like a shadow.

Ever since it discovered that it wouldn't get hot when it stayed on Meng Shiwan's body, its desire to go outside has rekindled.

Meng Shiwan entered the villa, and Tao Yarong led her to the dining room. "Sister, they'll be giving you weird looks later, but don't mind them."

Meng Shiwan asked, "Why does it feel strange?"

Tao Yarong touched her nose to hide her embarrassment, "I told them that you are a Level 5 Elemental Ability User, and they are still not over it. They are probably going to worship you like a god."

Meng Shiwan: ...

Su Su had previously tried to make everyone more enthusiastic and warm towards Meng Shiwan.

After this announcement, everything is null and void.

They were just ordinary people living under someone else's roof, and they simply couldn't care for someone with such extraordinary abilities.

Their only feeling towards Meng Shiwan now is one of worship.

The villa has a huge dining room with a round table that can seat dozens of people.

On the lazy Susan table were a variety of delicious dishes.

When everyone saw Meng Shiwan arrive, they all became very reserved, rubbing their hands like elementary school students.

Lei Zhe laughed shamelessly, "Sis, you're doing me a favor today, so you should sit in the head seat."

Meng Shiwan glanced at them, showing no emotion, and walked to the innermost part to sit down.

Su Su moved a child seat over and placed it next to Meng Shiwan. "There's a place for the cat too. I even made some stewed meat for it today."

Meng Shiwan patted Taxue's head, "Come down and wait for dinner."

"Meow."

Ta Xue obediently jumped down and squatted on the child seat.

Luo Mei placed a transparent plate in front of Ta Xue. "I used to keep pets, and I'm really good at stewing canned meat. I slow-cook it at a low temperature, and it's tender and fresh. Kitty, try it."

Ta Xue looked at the tender canned meat in front of her and didn't stand on ceremony. She immediately started eating it with gusto.

It looks delicious.

Meng Shiwan watched it eat with relish, her brows furrowing slightly, unable to describe her feelings at that moment.

This is probably the treatment of the strong; even her cat has a place to eat.

There were too many people and the scene was noisy, which made Meng Shiwan a little irritable.

Having grown up in quiet solitude, she disliked noisy occasions, but she remained silent, not wanting to spoil everyone's fun.

Her frown made everyone a little reserved. They quickly served their rice, took their seats, and the room quieted down.

The large round table, which could seat dozens of people, still had about half of the seats empty.

The security team continued wiping the already polished furniture outside, sniffing the oily aroma and silently swallowing their saliva.

They were hoping that after these people finished eating, their security team could have some leftover soup or something, and they would be content with that.

A soup with oil and meat juices, soaked with flatbread, is so delicious you'll want to swallow your tongue.

They hadn't eaten vegetables and meat in so long, the aroma was incredibly tempting.

Meng Shiwan looked up at the group of people working diligently outside the restaurant and said, "Let them come in and eat with us."

Tao Yarong stood at the door and shouted, "Stop working! It's time to eat, why are you still working? Hurry up!"

The security team members were all incredulous, thinking they were hallucinating, and stood frozen in place, afraid to make a move.

Zhang Qiang, holding a rag, pointed to his own nose and said, "Eat? Me, us?"

They work in security, how can they be allowed to eat at the table?

Tao Yarong waved her hand, "Hurry up, aren't you hungry?"

Zhang Qiang and his companions stopped being coy, immediately dropped what they were holding, ran to wash their hands, entered the restaurant, and quietly sat down.

Zhang Qiang said with a nasal voice, "Sister, you're my own sister. I never thought that I would be able to eat well in this apocalypse."

Lei Zhe was dissatisfied. "Don't talk nonsense. My sister is my own sister. How did she become yours?"

Zhang Qiang was unconvinced, "I knew her the longest. Back when she left the supermarket, I was searching for her everywhere online."

Lei Zhe's eyes widened. "Good heavens, you're the genius who called me a kind-hearted villain?"

Zhang Qiang said he couldn't, "I'm not a genius, and I'm not very educated."

Meng Shiwan: ...

How did she end up running into this bunch of clowns?

She silently picked up her chopsticks and started eating first.

Seeing her pick up her chopsticks, everyone else picked up theirs and began to eat.

Having not had meat for a long time, they were so eager to devour a whole plate of food in one go.

But you can't lose face in front of the big shots.

Each person suppressed their appetite and ate slowly and carefully.
