At dawn, the warm sunlight, like a golden veil, gently spilled across the vast earth, its brilliant rays heralding the start of a new day. At this time, the blazing sun was already high in the sky, and the clock hands quietly pointed to a little past ten in the morning.
Last night, Xu Anran was unable to sleep due to her troubled thoughts. It wasn't until after 4 a.m. that she finally succumbed to exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.
Just then, Xiao Feng called her to eat. Xu Anran slowly woke up, glanced at the clock on the wall, and realized that it was already very late. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and then slowly got up and walked towards the bathroom.
When she stepped into the living room, she saw Xu Liang and two others sitting around the table, on which was a steaming bowl of instant noodles, clearly reserved for her.
Xu Anran rubbed her rumbling stomach, then picked up the bowl without hesitation and started eating.
After they finished eating, Xu Anran noticed the hesitant expressions on the three people's faces and asked knowingly, "Did you hear what Fan Yunfei said to me last night?" Xiao Feng looked around blankly, looking at the other three with a puzzled expression, clearly unaware of the matter.
However, Xu Liang nodded slightly. He had also woken up last night when Fan Yunfei got up to leave and overheard their conversation behind the door. So he asked, "Is it true?"
Xu Anran took a sip of water, paused briefly, and then answered firmly, "That's right, absolutely true, I am 'Old K'."
Just as he finished speaking, the small, exquisite cookie that Xiao Feng was chewing with relish suddenly made a crisp, pleasant "crack" sound and then fell onto the table without warning.
At this moment, Xiao Feng seemed frozen in place, his eyes wide open like saucers, his mouth agape as if he could fit an egg inside: "My God, that's absolutely amazing! Sister An'an, you're incredible, you're truly amazing!"
Xu Liang, standing to the side, was equally astonished. Although he had overheard their conversation the night before and had some suspicions, hearing Xu Anran admit to being Old K himself still sent shockwaves through his heart. After all, they had known each other for quite some time and had been through some things together, but he had never imagined that there was such a powerful figure beside him!
After calming himself down slightly, Xu Liang coughed twice, trying to conceal his excitement and shock, and then said, "Hmm... as expected, you truly are worthy of being my sister. Actually, I had a feeling long ago that you were no ordinary person, and now it seems that I was right!"
Compared to the two of them, Fan Yunfei appeared remarkably calm and composed. After all, he had already anticipated all of this, so he did not show much surprise or astonishment.
Looking at everyone's reactions, Xu Anran asked, "Aren't you curious about why I know so much?"
"Oh, I'm just curious, but I respect Sister An'an very much. Sister An'an will naturally say what she wants to say when she wants to." Xiao Feng's eager expression looked familiar to Xu Anran. After thinking about it carefully, oh, it was exactly the same expression Xu Liang usually had when he was trying to please others!
She turned her gaze to Xu Liang. Sure enough, Xiao Feng's expression was exactly the same as Xu Liang's! This striking resemblance made her fall into a reverie, and an image involuntarily surfaced in her mind: one day in the future, Xiao Feng would grow up and look more and more like Xu Liang... As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, she couldn't help but shiver.
Pulling her chaotic thoughts back to reality, she stared solemnly at the three people in front of her and said firmly, "Since you already know that I am Old K, then I don't want to hide anything. In fact, the reason why I can know so many things is because of the special ability I possess."
"Ability?" the three asked in unison.
“Exactly. As you all know, we will awaken various superpowers after we enter the higher worlds. However, I have had this ability since the first world. As for the reason, I don’t even know it myself. And my ability is—precognition.”
Recalling the information he had obtained from the group chat, Fan Yunfei said, "So, that's why you were able to know so much important information in advance?"
“That’s true, but my abilities are really limited. I can only predict the future once a month, and I can’t completely control what I predict. But it still has some use,” Xu Anran replied softly.
Upon hearing this, Xu Liang's eyes instantly brightened, and he said excitedly, "This is more than just useful; it's practically a divine skill! Back when we were in that virus-infected world, without your intelligence and timely information, countless people would have unknowingly contracted the virus and ultimately perished."
Xiao Feng, unable to contain his excitement, chimed in, "That's right! Sister An'an, you not only warned everyone about many potential dangers in advance, but you also helped everyone successfully avoid them!"
Faced with the flood of praise from the two, Xu Anran couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She quickly waved her hand to interrupt them and explained, "It's not as amazing as you say. I just posted some messages in the group. Those who survived are all those who overcame numerous difficulties and obstacles through their own unremitting efforts."
Then Xu Liang asked, "You're Old K, so all of us know who you are. Are we now considered core members of the mutual aid society?"
Xu Anran looked at them and said, "Of course, we are all core members of the mutual aid society now, and we will go to explore the higher world together in the future."
Xiao Feng said happily, "Grandpa too, we'll be with Grandpa then."
Xu Anran nodded and said, "That's right, and Uncle Li too. We'll meet Uncle Li in the waiting room first, and then we'll team up together. Are you guys interested?"
All three had smiles on their faces and nodded in acknowledgment.
Fan Yunfei said with a happy expression, "Haha, I've been looking forward to hearing you say those words. In that case, I can rightfully join in!" As soon as he finished speaking, he extended his right hand without hesitation and firmly grasped Xu Anran's hand.
He then launched into a long-winded explanation: "Now that I've become a core member of the mutual aid society, let me take this opportunity to introduce myself again. This is my sixth world to date; just one more world to cross before I step into the waiting room of the high-speed rail. I'm a hacker, skilled in locating people, investigating data, and gathering intelligence. I hope to make a significant contribution to our team in the future!"
Seeing Fan Yunfei so eager to recommend himself, Xu Liang wasn't about to be outdone and quickly interjected, "I have good fighting skills and I also possess spatial items. If anyone needs to store anything in the future, feel free to come to me for help." After he finished introducing himself, he glanced at Fan Yunfei with a rather smug look, as if to declare to him: Look, I'm quite useful too!
At this moment, the young Xiao Feng couldn't contain his excitement and eagerly introduced himself: "Although I'm still a child, my grandfather is amazing, and I believe I will be amazing in the future!"
Following this, the group engaged in a lively discussion about their future plans and ideas. They all shared the same goal: to work together to survive in the advanced world, find a suitable new world, and build the home they longed for...
Perhaps in the not-too-distant future, their dream will come true.
