Chapter 195 Shen Jiaojiao: Did he come back to find me?
Seeing that Xiao Li was actually siding with Lin Muyan, the group realized they had said the wrong thing and wanted to argue.
Xiao Li gave them no more chances. He gestured to Lu Zhe to find out where the Lin family was, and then led his men there quickly, completely ignoring the others.
After Xiao Li and his men walked away, those people were still standing there cursing and swearing.
"Tch, what's so great about that? My nephew mutated and awakened a pretty good superpower. I think they're still just ordinary people. They'll be replaced by others soon."
"Exactly! What's with the arrogance? The past is the past, and the present is the present. Let's see how they'll survive if they don't awaken their superpowers!"
Just then, a dark figure suddenly darted out.
Before the group could react, the dark figure unleashed a brutal beating on them, each punch landing squarely and without mercy.
In an instant, wails and cries for help filled the air.
"Who is it? Why are they hitting people for no reason?!"
"Don't hit me in the face, don't hit me in the face, who else could I be but you?"
Fu Sinian beat them one by one until they were bruised and swollen, their mouths crooked and teeth missing, before stopping, his eyes glaring at them with a sharp look.
"If you dare to gossip behind Lin Muyan's back again and slander her reputation, you'll lose your lives!"
No one expected that this person would be a tough nut to crack for Lin Muyan, since they had indeed said a lot of bad things about her earlier.
Knowing that in the apocalypse, murder and arson are no longer a problem, even if they were killed by this person, they could only accept their bad luck. None of them could bring themselves to argue, and besides, even if they all joined forces, they couldn't beat this person.
However, those who hadn't spoken earlier were somewhat displeased.
"We didn't say anything bad about Lin Muyan, so why are we being attacked too?"
Fu Sinian glanced at them coldly and said sternly:
"Does not speaking absolve you of your guilt? I know that's what you're all thinking, but even thinking it is a crime! You all deserve to be beaten!"
The group: "..."
Xiao Li led his team to the area where Lin Muyan's safe house was located. He immediately spotted a unique villa in the distance.
For some reason, his first thought was that this villa must be Lin Muyan's home.
"Captain, this villa is something else. Look at the things on the walls, they look a bit like laser weapons."
“Look at the other villas, they’ve all been damaged to some extent by the natural disasters that have been happening recently, but this villa is different, it’s brand new.”
Xiao Li composed himself and started walking towards the villa.
At this moment, the three members of the Shen family were planning to go out together to find supplies.
Mrs. Shen had had enough of the misery of the apocalypse these past few days and couldn't wait to rush to the mall for a revenge shopping spree, and then book a beauty appointment to properly groom her appearance, which she had neglected during this time.
But the thought that it's already the end of the world and these things will probably never be available again makes me very anxious.
"Jiaojiao, didn't you say that Colonel Huang Zhen would come looking for you? The torrential rain disaster is over, why hasn't he come yet?"
Shen Shiqiu's gaze also fell on Shen Jiaojiao.
He went out today and heard many of his former neighbors say that someone in their family had awakened supernatural abilities.
His daughter awakened a spatial ability, which should have been a very rare ability.
But after he learned more, he discovered that those who had awakened their superpowers had also gained a personal space.
In other words, Jiao Jiao's special ability is no longer very valuable, and the colonel may very well change his mind.
Shen Shiqiu told Shen Jiaojiao about his guess, but the girl immediately got very angry at him.
"Dad, even you think my superpower is useless? What do you know? Other people's personal space is small and can't be upgraded, how could it be as powerful as mine?"
"Besides, the probability of awakening a superpower is only one in a thousand. Only one in a thousand people becomes an awakener. Even you and my mother might not have that luck. Do you dare to gamble? Without me, let's see what you'll do!"
Shen Shiqiu never expected Shen Jiaojiao to say that. He hadn't said anything, so why did she say such hurtful things, as if he had stepped on her tail?
“I didn’t mean anything by it, but how can you talk to your father like that? I’m just worried that if they don’t remember you, you could try to go to them and beg them to recruit you into the military.”
"S City has established a special zone, and the Xiao family, who have a lot of power in Beijing, is the head of the special zone. As long as we can become military personnel, we won't have to worry about our future."
After living such a humiliating life for some time, Shen Shiqiu has come to a complete understanding of reality.
The wealth their family had accumulated was now useless. If they wanted to live a good life in the future, they either had to become stronger themselves or attach themselves to a powerful figure.
Jiaojiao has a special ability, but unfortunately she has little combat power. If she could attach herself to the military, the Shen family would still be a wealthy family, and he, as her father, would also benefit from it.
We won't say we live as extravagantly as before the apocalypse, but at least we're still among the elite.
To everyone's surprise, his words once again infuriated Shen Jiaojiao.
"Me, beg him? Why should I beg him? He should be begging me. My personal space can be expanded in the future to hold a lot of things. Can other people's space be expanded as well?"
"Dad, you underestimate me. Sometimes, the more humble you are, the less people will take you seriously. You're my dad, how can you expect me to beg for favors?"
Shen Jiaojiao felt that her biological parents weren't necessarily that good, and were even worse than her original poor adoptive parents.
At least her adoptive parents were very accommodating to her and would never let her ask others for favors. They were the ones who had to go out and beg others to do things for her!
The father and daughter had been arguing all morning, and now that they had finally calmed down, they decided to go out and find some supplies.
Shen Jiaojiao kept a sullen face, not wanting to talk to her parents, but her eyes caught sight of a group of tall and handsome people passing by outside, and the leader looked somewhat familiar.
When Shen Jiaojiao saw Xiao Li's face clearly, her eyes lit up.
It's him!
The first time she met a soldier while distributing supplies, she thought he was some nobody. They even had a disagreement because he complained that her personal space was too small.
They parted on bad terms, and when she went back to get the supplies, she learned that the man was actually a colonel!
Is he back here now to find her?
It must be! Shen Jiaojiao suddenly became excited, her heart pounded faster and faster, and she rushed out as if she had wheels of fire on her feet, ignoring what her parents were saying.
She must seize this opportunity.
The other party was young and handsome, and his appearance was exactly to her aesthetic standards. More importantly, he was a colonel at a very young age!
He must have realized that her spatial abilities had great potential, so he came back to find her.
Thinking of this, Shen Jiaojiao suddenly regained her confidence.
When Shen Shiqiu and his wife saw their daughter run out on her own, and then saw several tall men in special uniforms outside, their eyes lit up.
"Honey, they look like military personnel! Quick, quick, let's get out of here!"
"..."
