Chapter 41 Scarlet Pupils
There was no better choice at the moment, so after reaching an agreement, they drove into this remote villa area.
After entering the villa area, it was just as Yan Chu said, many houses were obviously uninhabited.
Some gardens are even overgrown with weeds and branches growing wildly.
They found a villa that looked uninhabited, and were surprised to discover that the door of the villa was locked but the windows were not locked.
Hu Zi immediately and nimbly climbed in through the window and opened the door for them from the inside.
The light in the house was very dim, and there were some basic furniture in the living room, which looked clean and tidy.
Probably to avoid dust, all the furniture was covered with dust covers, and it was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.
Chen Qianxing pressed the power switch several times but found no response. It seemed that there was a power outage here too.
Hu Zi has now quickly gone upstairs to check everything.
"Don't worry, it's quite safe here, and most rooms have beds, so everyone can have a good rest tonight."
For many people present, just having a bed to sleep in was good news.
Everyone was quickly assigned their own rooms.
Yan Chu found a small room with a bed on the second floor. She lifted the dust cover on the bed, spread a thick quilt on it, and then lay down on it with peace of mind.
Night fell outside the window. I don’t know if it’s because this place is too remote, but I can hardly hear any zombie sounds around.
This was one of the rare nights Yan Chu could rest in peace since coming to this world.
She tossed and turned in bed several times, but for some reason she couldn't fall asleep, so she simply opened her card drawing interface.
Killed so many zombies today, let her see how many lottery tickets she has saved—
28 photos!
A total of 28 pictures!
Yan Chu's eyes suddenly lit up.
She clicked on the ten-draw option and quickly drew all 28 tickets.
In addition to various supply cards and weapon cards, she also obtained three SR cards, namely "Permanent Agility Enhancement", "Flame Power", and "Card Book Capacity Increased by 50 Slots".
The cards vanished with a thud.
With the experience of the last strength increase, Yan Chu already understood what a permanent increase in agility meant.
It is not difficult to understand that the card book capacity has been increased by 50 slots, which is equivalent to expanding the space.
This is also good. She has collected too many miscellaneous items. If this continues, the 999 slots in the card book will definitely not be enough.
The most important thing is that she finally drew the superpower card she had been longing for!
And it’s a fire ability with high lethality!
Maybe it's the kind that can burn everything to ashes with just a snap of the fingers!
Yan Chu confidently extended a finger and pointed at a piece of waste paper on the ground.
There was no movement.
Yan Chu tilted his head, unconvinced, and continued to try various positions: "Flame! Fire!"
A minute passed and the paper still lay there unharmed.
Potato, who had been watching from the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Yan Chu: “…”
She slowly clenched her fists: "Stinky Potato, you want to die, don't you?"
Potato slid to his knees at the speed of light.
[I won't laugh anymore! I'm sorry, Master!]
Yan Chu snorted: "Tell me, how can I use my supernatural powers?"
Potato scratched his head, feeling a little confused.
Logically speaking, this ability card should be usable directly after being drawn.
It pondered for a long time, and suddenly realized:
[I understand! Master, since your powers didn't awaken naturally, you need to first sense the energy within your body and then actively call upon it before you can use your powers!]
Yan Chu: “……?”
Feel the energy? How?
【Anyway, just close your eyes first.】
Yan Chu closed his eyes obediently.
[Master, do you feel something flowing through your body? From head to toe, and then to limbs...]
Yan Chu followed its instructions, from head to toe, and even to his limbs...
After a while, Yan Chu yawned sleepily and almost fell asleep.
【……Owner! 】
Yan Chu suddenly woke up and coughed awkwardly: "I didn't feel anything, and this is too hypnotic. Is there any other way?"
[This... I don't have any other ideas. How about Master, try again? ]
As Potato spoke, he hid his figure with a guilty conscience.
[If the master cannot learn to call upon the energy within his body, even if he draws a powerful ability card, he will never be able to use his abilities, so the master must learn it himself.]
Yan Chu: ???
This guy just ran away like that?
She looked down at her hands, clenching and unclenching them.
Isn’t it just about feeling energy? How can she not learn it?
…
Ten minutes later, Yan Chu, who had gained nothing, fell on the bed somewhat discouraged and began to think about what Tu Dou had said before.
Potato said that her superpowers were not awakened naturally, so she needed to rely on herself to feel and call upon energy.
Speaking of which, didn’t Gu Qinyuan awaken his supernatural powers?
It's obvious that he uses his abilities very skillfully; he must know how to mobilize energy.
But how can I tell him that I have awakened my superpowers but cannot use them?
Yan Chu thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable reason.
Forget it, let’s go and ask first. Maybe Gu Qinyuan won’t ask so many questions?
She pushed open the door and looked around. Everyone else was probably asleep. The room was extremely quiet and she could even hear the chirping of insects outside the window.
Yan Chu tiptoed through the two doors on the second floor and walked up the somewhat old wooden stairs, taking every step carefully.
She knew that Gu Qinyuan was resting in the room on the top floor of the villa.
The door of the room on the top floor was not closed. Yan Chu curiously looked in and found the room empty, with no sign of Gu Qinyuan.
Where are the people?
Yan Chu stood up straight and walked into the room, his eyes falling on the flat, wrinkle-free bed.
It’s been dark for so long, hasn’t Gu Qinyuan taken a rest in bed?
A breeze rushed into the room. Yan Chu looked up and saw the pure white gauze curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows fluttering in the wind. The glass door leading to the rooftop was pushed open by someone.
Did he go to the rooftop?
Yan Chu walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, lifted the gauze curtain, and looked out through the glass. Sure enough, he saw Gu Qinyuan's figure at the edge of the rooftop.
She was about to say hello, but suddenly froze.
Under the cold moonlight, Gu Qinyuan stood with his hands in his pockets, looking a little lazy and casual, and the loose hair on his forehead was a little messy due to the wind.
He casually raised his eyes to look at the bright moon in the sky, his scarlet pupils shining shockingly bright in the night sky.
Red… ?
Yan Chu's mind went blank for a second. When she came to her senses and wanted to take a closer look, the slender figure at the edge of the rooftop had disappeared.
"What's wrong? Are you looking for me?"
A cold and magnetic voice suddenly sounded behind her.
Yan Chu's heart skipped a beat and she turned around suddenly. Gu Qinyuan had appeared behind her without her knowing when.
She subconsciously looked into his eyes, his pupils were as black as ink, so deep that they almost swallowed her.
It's clearly black.
It’s strange, why did it appear red just now?
