Upon hearing this, Ye Nianzhen gave the little girl a deep look.
She said earnestly, "You will awaken your superpowers."
Xiaochun looked up in surprise: "Really?"
Ye Nianzhen nodded: "I won't lie to you, and it's a very useful superpower."
Xiaochun's joy subsided somewhat: "Oh..."
However, Ye Nianzhen was still in a daze and did not notice this.

On the other side, the rogues who had fled back in a sorry state found something was amiss the more they thought about it.
A short, thin man slapped his thigh and exclaimed dramatically, "I remember now!"
"What's wrong?"
The short, thin man said with a frustrated expression, "I've seen that woman in the base's register."
"So, what do you think? Is he a formidable figure?"
The short, thin man excitedly raised his arm: "He's just a C-level physique, a piece of trash with no special abilities!"
"What?!"
The scoundrels were astonished and all cast dangerous glances at their leader.
A chaotic scene ensued.
The former leader was stuffed into a sack and thrown aside; his fate is unknown.
A man with dreadlocks and scars on his face took over as the new leader.
The man sat on the dead tree stump as if it were some kind of throne, issuing commands with an arrogant air.
"Find out where that woman is working this afternoon, and we'll teach her a lesson."
"She's a bit thin, but her face is still quite pretty."
Several scoundrels let out tacit, lewd laughter.
The short, thin man had connections in management, so he volunteered for the job and scurried out of the tent.

After the catastrophic natural disaster, the days will be short and the nights long, and the climate will be unpredictable.
It should be summer now, around six o'clock in the evening, but it's already completely dark.
After the collapse of human civilization, the neon lights on the ground disappeared, and the light of the stars and moon shone brightly once again.
The dark clouds have long since dissipated, and the sandstorm has stopped.
As Ye Nianzhen strolled beneath the boundless Milky Way, she felt countless times the insignificance of humankind.
After passing a row of low tents, Ye Nianzhen arrived at the medical tent. People were frequently coming and going, and medical waste such as bandages and syringes were constantly being sent out.
A man wearing a mask and completely covered up stopped her.
What are you doing?
Yeh Nien-jen: "I came here to help out. I applied this afternoon."
The man wasn't surprised: "Oh, then put on your protective suit and come in."
Ye Nianzhen shook her head: "I didn't apply here."
She pointed to a dilapidated tent at the far end of the base. The man looked in the direction she was pointing and his face immediately showed surprise.
Are you sure?
Ye Nianzhen calmly replied, "I'm sure."
The man couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.
After the apocalypse, those who are lucky enough to survive are all barely clinging to life, hoping to live as many years as possible.
This is the first time I've seen someone so eager to spend time among the "dead bodies".
“Alright.” The man didn’t stop him anymore: “But we need this more to get there, so take it.”
Ye Nianzhen nodded her thanks, took the protective suit, and put it on.
Protective suits are bulky, but they can prevent the splashing of bodily fluids from patients and avoid infection with cadaveric virus.
In the apocalypse, besides dangerous mutated plants and animals, there are also zombies of unknown origin roaming the land.
There are three possibilities after being bitten by a zombie.
You may become a zombie, awaken superpowers, or fail to awaken superpowers and die.
Therefore, the base gathered those bitten by zombies in dilapidated tents on the edge of the area, where they were guarded by designated personnel.
If a mutation occurs, kill it immediately. If it manages to awaken, transfer it back to the medical tent.
Only a few can awaken, so the place is jokingly called "Dead Man's Nest".
Ye Nianzhen walked there step by step.
It felt like walking towards a dark grave.
When she finally arrived at the tent, she flung open the tattered tent door.
The guards were nowhere to be found, and only one lamp was lit in the tent.
Ye Nianzhen struggled to identify the half-dead people lying on the ground.
The protective suit was stuffy and hot, and sweat gradually seeped from my forehead.
Each time she reincarnates, she arrives at an earlier point in time than the last time.
This time, she wanted to find someone before that woman.
A very important person, who might be able to rewrite the ending.
She didn't have much contact with him in her previous reincarnations; she only caught glimpses of him from afar in the shadow of that woman.
She wasn't sure if she could find it.
But she had to find him; this time… she absolutely couldn’t lose again!
Half an hour passed, and Ye Nianzhen had gained nothing.
Sweat had already soaked through her hair and flowed into her eyes, blurring her vision.
She became determined, pulled the protective suit down to her waist, and tied the sleeves in a knot at her waist.
She searched through the crowd with her bare hands, a sour, salty liquid rising in her throat, which she gritted her teeth and endured.
There might have been blood splattered on her face, but she didn't care.
Doubts gradually began to grow in her heart.
Is he really here?
Could it be that she got the time wrong? Maybe he hasn't actually been sent over yet?
Or is he already dead?
Could he be among the people he just contacted?
Could it be...?
Doubt was like a loose screw in a dam, from which floodwaters gushed forth, nearly crushing her reason.
Just then, a dirty hand weakly grasped her ankle.
As if struck by a sudden inspiration, Ye Nianzhen pulled the person out of the crowd.
The man's face was covered in blood and grime, making it impossible to see his features.
But Yeh Nien-jen knew she had found it.
