"Would you like to have breakfast together?"
Looking into the woman's gentle eyes, Bai Xizhu felt she had seen her somewhere before, but couldn't quite place it. Subconsciously, she invited them to have dinner together.
She didn't know what was wrong with her.
One should remain vigilant towards strangers.
However, Bai Xizhu could never be wary of the two people in front of her, even though she knew their abilities were terrifying.
I always felt that they exuded an aura that made people feel incredibly reassured.
"No, no need, we've already eaten."
The woman subconsciously shook her head, but her eyes remained fixed on Bai Xizhu's face.
It seemed as if he wanted to memorize her face.
"We have something to do, so we'll have to go now. We'll have breakfast with you all another time!"
The middle-aged man spoke softly, his gentle eyes seeming to hold the marks of many hardships.
Bai Xizhu wanted to say something, but the man didn't give her a chance. He reached out, grabbed the woman wearing a black mask, and turned to leave.
The two turned around slowly, their eyes gradually shifting away from Bai Xizhu.
Despite wanting to stay so badly, she didn't turn back and kept moving straight in one direction.
Bai Xizhu stood there, staring blankly at the two figures from behind.
She felt a sense of familiarity with these two people, but she couldn't quite place them.
"Xiao Zhu, are you alright?"
Leng Yebai stretched out his finger and waved it in front of Bai Xizhu, his voice gentle.
"It's nothing, I just feel like I've seen these two people somewhere before, but I can't quite place them."
Bai Xizhu looked at the two lonely figures from behind and rubbed her temples vigorously.
My memory remains a blank.
Leng Yebai glanced at the man's wrist in front of him, his eyes darkening slightly.
Do you know them?
Bai Xizhu turned to ask Leng Yebai.
Leng Yebai gently shook his head. "I don't think I know him."
Bai Xizhu sighed and rubbed her temples hard with both hands, unable to find any memory of the two of them!
Only after the two lonely figures disappeared from sight did Leng Yebai take Bai Xizhu's hand and walk towards the air-raid shelter.
Near the air-raid shelter, a strong smell of burning permeated the surroundings, and black smoke swirled around.
Bai Zhengxuan set fire to the ground and burned the black crow carcasses.
Clearly, his superpower is significantly different from that of the man in black.
The man in black could effortlessly burn the crows on the periphery to ashes, even from a great distance.
Bai Zhengxuan's actions can only be considered arson. Even though he is a three-elemental ability user, much stronger than ordinary ability users, he is still vastly different from the man just now.
The smiles returned to the faces of the people in Baiyang Village as they celebrated that none of them had been injured or killed today, and that they had survived this apocalypse once again.
The elderly and children in the air-raid shelter began preparing breakfast for this morning.
Breakfast was simple: some dried fruit, hot porridge, and wild vegetable buns.
The porridge was made from rice stored in an air-raid shelter before the apocalypse by the old village chief.
The dried fruit was picked from the orchard and dried by the farmers themselves.
They dug up the wild vegetables together in the surrounding area.
Even though the apocalypse is cruel, they still try their best to live the same way they did before the apocalypse.
Bai Xizhu looked at the breakfast in front of her and felt a little emotional.
In the safe base, only those with superpowers can get breakfast like this.
In the village, everyone, from those with superpowers to the elderly and children, can have a full stomach.
Of course, staying in the village doesn't mean you can be worry-free about food forever.
There are several times more mutated animals in the village than in the city.
For example, yesterday's mutated locusts and today's mutated crows, although you won't encounter them every day, encountering them once would be a catastrophic disaster.
The Bai family members were pulled by Village Chief Li and sat down at the same table.
"Old Bai, how come you guys are so amazing?"
Village Chief Li rubbed his hands together and asked somewhat embarrassedly.
In the apocalypse, the improvement of one's superpowers determines how long one can survive.
He was already skin and bones, and he could live one day at a time, but he was really worried about the many children in the village.
He also discovered that even though he had killed cats, dogs and other small animals before the apocalypse, the frequency of mutated animals appearing was still increasing.
With his abilities alone, it would be difficult to protect the people in the village.
Seeing how powerful the Bai family was, he couldn't wait to know how to quickly improve his superpowers.
"It's very simple. Every time you absorb a crystal core, just silently say 'braised pork knuckle'."
Bai Zhengxuan said with a serious expression.
This method really works. Every time he thinks of braised pork knuckle, he feels like he can absorb another day and night of crystal cores.
Village Chief Li nodded earnestly and silently made a mental note of the matter.
Even if it's absurd, we have to try. We can't let the young people in the village die so quickly in this apocalypse!
"Anything else?"
Village Chief Li looked at Liu Jing.
"When absorbing the crystal core, silently think to yourself that there are corpses jumping around outside. As long as you improve your superpower, you can crush them into the ground!"
As an outstanding retired forensic doctor, Liu Jing has always disliked those corpses that should have been dissected but were still alive and kicking on the ground.
This is downright provocation against excellent forensic doctors!
Village Chief Li: "...Oh, Xiao Hai, what about you?"
"A man's dignity!" Bai Anhai said calmly.
As the head of the family, he naturally has to work hard to improve his superpowers so that his family won't suffer!
"Xiao Fan?" Village Chief Li looked at Bai Yifan.
Although he didn't think Bai Yifan's superpowers were that great, seeing how he swung the dagger around, he figured he was a ruthless person.
It's something I should learn.
"To prevent the benefits from going to outsiders."
After Bai Yifan finished speaking, he nodded with a sense of self-satisfaction.
This was the goal he pursued throughout his life.
Village Chief Li: ...What the hell is this?!
Seeing the village chief's bewildered expression, Bai Xizhu took out a slip of paper from her pocket.
The note contained instructions she wrote down on the bus last night.
Different types of ability users absorb crystal cores in slightly different ways, and Bai Xizhu wrote down some tips on how to improve one's abilities.
This was written by Bai Xizhu at Bai Zhengxuan's request.
After all, it was his hometown where he grew up, and the people in the village were all related by blood. Bai Zhengxuan really couldn't bear to see the entire village heading towards destruction.
"Thank you, thank you!" Village Chief Li took the note, his eyes instantly lighting up with a smile, praising Bai Xizhu, "Little Zhu is getting prettier and prettier!"
Bai Xizhu grinned and lowered her head to eat her breakfast.
Leng Yebai picked up a wild vegetable bun with his chopsticks, glancing at Bai Zhengxuan's wrist with his eyes seemingly casually.
A mutated ivy was wrapped around Bai Zhengxuan's wrist. The ivy was lush and green, and seemed to be emitting a faint glow.
Leng Yebai looked deeply at Bai Zhengxuan, his eyes lingering on Bai Zhengxuan's brows.
