Chapter 32 Wanting his superpower

Someone sat down next to Wendy, and she turned her head sharply to find that it was Shan Ran.

"Boss Shan, what brings you here?"

Shan Ran had one leg bent and the other leg casually extended, with her hands supporting her behind her back, her whole posture very relaxed.

"I came to check on you. What's wrong? Were you frightened by what just happened?"

Wendy was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the mountain boss would notice something was wrong with her.

She suddenly felt a lump in her throat, quickly turned her head to the other side, looked at the dark corner there, and sniffed.

Wendy's husband, Aaron, is a mama's boy and a rich second-generation. Before the storm, his father was robbed and killed because of supplies.

Her own father had passed away long ago, and her mother and younger brother lived together. She would occasionally use the man's money to support her brother, making her a so-called "brother-supporting demon."

Aaron's mother is very domineering and looks down on him. Aaron's weakness is useless, and his family of origin only wants to take from her.

She followed Shan Ran closely because of her admiration for strength and Wu Chuci's advice to "hook up with the big shots as soon as possible," but she never expected that Shan Ran would notice something strange about her, a nobody.

Wendy's voice was slightly nasal as she expressed her thoughts.

Shan Ran smiled and ruffled Wendy's hair.

Wendy was thirty years old, ten years older than Shanran, but at this moment there was no age difference. She felt that the other woman's mentality was much more mature than her own.

Shan Ran's voice was gentle and her tone sincere, "Wendy, you're really amazing. Don't take my words as just comfort; I'm serious."

When you first encountered the monster, you were brave enough to stand up. Today, with your help, so many people were rescued. You are not arrogant or complacent, which is a strength, but don't underestimate yourself.

Everyone's special ability has its own characteristics. Your metal-type attack power is very strong and will become stronger in the future. We are all on the road to becoming stronger, so even if you are defeated now, don't be discouraged.

By the way, don't be impatient for quick success or go astray in your pursuit of progress. You can't absorb too many crystal cores.

Wendy rubbed her eyes and nodded emphatically, "Don't worry, Boss Shan, I definitely won't do what you say I can't do. I'll remember everything you say!"

Shan Ran smiled and hummed in agreement.

Just then, Shanran's phone rang.

It was a message sent by Kunwu Yecheng.

They've taken care of everything and can leave now.

When they arrived at the main gate, Kunwu Yecheng, Chu Liuxing, and a man who was shorter but much stronger than Kunwu Yecheng were waiting for them.

Seeing Shan Ran approaching, Kunwu Yecheng nodded in greeting, "Our car is following you?"

Shan Ran, who had been somewhat distant before, was now smiling warmly. "Captain Kunwu, if you don't mind, would you like to ride in my car with me?"

Kunwu Yecheng was stunned for a moment. Sunlight shone through the doorway, making the girl's face even clearer.

Her striking features had a somewhat aggressive look, but her radiant smile also gave her an innocent air, inexplicably making Kunwu Yecheng's heart beat a little faster.

He nodded in agreement, "Okay."

He exchanged a few words with Chu Liuxing and his burly teammate Maxim, and then got into the car with Shan Ran and the others.

The car was spacious, and on the return trip, Rhein drove while Shanran and Kunwu Yecheng sat in the last row.

Kunwu Yecheng gave a general account of the situation of that group of people.

Lang Jian was imprisoned for rape and released a year ago. After his release, he had no proper work, doing odd jobs here and there. After gaining superpowers, he felt that his luck had turned around and his ambition soared. He contacted some of his old cronies and fellow inmates.

First, they took advantage of the chaos to rob and kill. After the monsters arrived, they found this shopping mall as their base. They robbed everyone who came here looking for supplies. They kept the useful ones and killed the useless ones. They would also occasionally run out to ambush and rob people on the road and then bring people and supplies back. The scale of their operation grew larger and larger, and the team became stronger and stronger.

Once, during a highway robbery, a few people were missed. While fleeing, they encountered government officials who took them back, learned about the situation, and then assigned the task to the Kunwu Squad.

The Kunwu team spent a day investigating the situation here. Just as they were about to sneak in and catch Lang Jian and his group off guard, they saw a group of people fleeing in panic.

After capturing all those who had slipped through the net and learning the general outline of what had happened from them, they were all taken back.

Then I met Shan Ran.

Shanran nodded, indicating that he understood.

After thinking for a moment, Kunwu Yecheng still spoke up, "Currently... the higher-ups are looking for a suitable place to designate as a safe zone, but there are many factors, and progress is very slow. So we don't have a very stable place right now, and the survivors are scattered quite a bit."

Shan Ran looked at Kunwu Yecheng with some confusion, wondering what his purpose was in saying those words.

"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can contact me. You must trust us and trust the higher-ups; we will soon get District 1 under control again."

Shan Ran recalled the plot of the original book and roughly understood what Kunwu Yecheng meant by "the higher-ups".

The district chief of District 1 is a native of the Third Continent, but the chief executive officer of the Third Continent was sent by the Second Continent.

When the apocalypse came, the district chief gained superpowers, while the executive officer did not. As a result, the executive officer felt very unbalanced and began to use his power to oppress people, issuing some very unreasonable regulations, mainly targeting the locals.

After the appearance of the monster, the executor was frightened. He dared not stay here any longer and wanted to return to the second continent and go home. However, there were also monsters in the ocean, so he could not return for the time being.

So he deployed several squads to protect him 24 hours a day and prevent the authorities from rescuing survivors.

He wasn't from here, had no affection for this land, and the lives of the local civilians were none of his concern. He only wanted to survive. He had no intention of saving those "lower classes," nor was he willing to send out any more people; he only wanted to ensure his own safety.

The district chiefs of District 1 and District 2 were both locals. They argued with the executive officer and gradually split into two factions.

One faction, mainly composed of people from the second continent, advocated letting the people fend for themselves, allowing the fittest to survive, and prioritizing their own survival.

One faction, led by the district chiefs of Districts 1 and 2, supports the establishment of a safe zone as soon as possible to rescue survivors, concentrate resources, and restore order to people's lives as soon as possible.

The differences between the two factions grew larger and larger. Later, the two district chiefs conspired together and gathered a group of people to secretly plot something. Finally, on a dark and windy night, they killed the executive officer and several of his loyal subordinates.

They then consolidated their power and established a safe zone.

These points were only briefly mentioned in the original book, and Shan Ran deduced them by combining the information she currently had.

However, establishing a safe zone is indeed very troublesome. The fog is not static and can suddenly appear at any time or in any place.

Therefore, there must be a way to deal with the possibility of fog appearing at any time in the safe zone, so the houses cannot be too densely packed, and their quality must be up to standard.

The placement of supplies is also very important; they cannot be concentrated in one place. A cunning rabbit has three burrows, and who knows how many foggy clouds there will be? But even three burrows are not enough.

In short, the selection and planning of a safe zone, as well as its subsequent construction and the resettlement and allocation of personnel, are all very complicated.

Therefore, in the previous life, it took more than three months before the safe zone was officially opened to the public.

As for whether or not to go to the safe zone at that time, Shanran had not yet decided.

Let's take it one step at a time.

Shan Ran looked into Kunwu Yecheng's eyes and sincerely thanked him, "Thank you for telling me all this. I will contact you if I need anything."

Kunwu Yecheng lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes obscuring his gaze. He rubbed the edge of his half-tactical glove with his thumb.

This was a subconscious action of his, which helped him relieve some of his nervousness.

He didn't know why he was so nervous.

He lifted his eyelids to take a look and found that the girl was still looking at him so sincerely, so he quickly lowered his eyes again.

I'm even more nervous now...

Shan Ran silently observed the man in front of her.

This guy is really tall, with long arms and legs, and they're all so thick. His arms are so thick, he could probably kill a bear with one punch.

Luckily, her car was big, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to stretch her limbs properly when she sat down.

This tall and strong man doesn't possess strength-based or beast-based superpowers; he actually has a space-based ability.

I want his superpowers...

Noticing the undisguised gaze from the other side, Kunwu Yecheng felt his cheeks burning.

Is it because the mask is too tight that it's making you feel stuffy?

He cautiously looked up and found that the girl was still looking at him.

"Shanran, young lady, is there something on my face?"

Shan Ran snapped out of her daze and said without any embarrassment, "Oh, no, I was just thinking that when I first saw you, I thought you had some kind of strong beast-type ability."

Kunwu Yecheng looked down and examined his own body.

He was very satisfied; he was tall, strong, and sturdy, and with this robust physique, he had won many military exploits.

This is what he is most proud of.

The man couldn't resist showing off. He raised his hand, clenched his fist, and his arm muscles bulged, causing his combat uniform to billow out and revealing the bulging lines.

He saw the girl's eyes light up and she silently exclaimed "Wow!"

He smiled slightly, pursing his lips.

“Maxim is a bear-type, and he’s stronger than before. But my current physique doesn’t require beast-type abilities; spatial abilities are perfect for me,” he hesitated for a moment before deciding to continue, “Besides spatial storage, I also have another spatial ability.”

Shan Ran's eyes shone even brighter.

besides? ? ?

Is it also spatial?

She felt her ears stand up and her body involuntarily lean forward.

Before he knew it, the girl had moved closer to the bulging arm, and Kunwu Yecheng's muscles twitched involuntarily.

Shan Ran didn't care about any of that; she was all ears, eager to hear what would happen next.

Kunwu Yecheng's ears were burning. "The other one is also a space-related one, but it has two different uses, so you could call it a dual-type one."

In addition to spatial storage, it can also facilitate spatial transfer.
