Chapter 61. The person in Chapter 61 was exposed. ...
Sheng Hui looked at the tissue that was suddenly thrown into her hand, still somewhat surprised.
But after the initial surprise, it seemed perfectly reasonable. Given the nature of their abilities, it was unlikely that they would encounter any danger, so it was normal for them to have these supplies.
She took out a tissue and wiped away her tears. She wanted to believe Yan Ji, but this photo ultimately caused a rift in her trust in him.
Perhaps wanting to show that she believed her boyfriend wouldn't betray her, she stubbornly insisted, "Maybe you photoshopped the picture."
Xiang Bei didn't hold back either. The characteristic of female protagonists in abusive novels is that no matter how much they are abused by the male protagonist, they will still love him wholeheartedly.
Therefore, when speaking to Xiang Bei, she chooses words that hit the nail on the head. Although the words may not be pleasant to hear, they may awaken the other person, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
[Leaving aside the question of whether photoshopping on a computer is even possible in this situation, is your boyfriend's behavior truly an expression of love? He keeps saying he loves you and that you're the only one in his heart, but what happened? Someone casually said something, without even verifying it, and then he threw you into a horde of zombies. Do you think that's because he loves you?]
Sheng Hui couldn't speak, she just kept crying.
[Where love is, zombies are? Then he must really love you.]
“He wasn’t like that before.” Sheng Hui’s mind kept replaying the times she and Yan Ji used to spend together.
They were so close back then, how did things suddenly turn out like this?
She stared at the photo in her hand, already having the answer in her heart.
As the apocalypse arrives, Yan Ji awakens his supernatural abilities. They have traveled this far, but some things have already changed.
She hadn't changed; she was still as naive as ever to believe Yan Ji's words of love.
She wasn't unaware of the intimacy between Yan Ji and Li Lulu, but her unreasonable behavior made Yan Ji very unhappy. He said that her doubts betrayed their relationship.
Sheng Hui clutched her head, feeling extremely pained.
Yan Ji's words kept echoing in her mind: he said she was petty and that he and Li Lulu were just childhood sweethearts and business partners.
But what kind of partners would stick together?
He even kissed her behind her back.
【You said it yourself, that was in the past. The past is the past. Now it's a pervert—no, I mean, now it's a heartless man who's fallen for someone else but won't admit it, and is even using emotional manipulation on you. Girl, wake up! That trash isn't worth your sadness and heartbreak.】
Sheng Hui squatted on the ground with her arms crossed. "But where should I go? Where can I go? I don't have any special abilities. If others knew about my special constitution, they would definitely imprison me and experiment on me."
"Don't you trust me?"
Sheng Hui remained silent; how could she possibly trust someone she had just met?
No, she didn't even know what Xiang Bei looked like; she could only see some words floating in mid-air.
But if you don't trust Xiang Bei, are you going back?
Sheng Hui looked at the photo in her hand, then went back and threw it in Yan Ji's face, and then turned against him?
She relied on Yan Ji, but she wasn't stupid. Out of respect for Yan Ji, those people gave her some face and took care of her. But once Yan Ji stopped caring about her, those people wouldn't care about her idea of being a mobile blood bank. As long as she didn't die and had a blood supply, that would be enough.
Okay, I understand. My request was quite sudden. I'll give you some time to think about it. Your clothes are dirty; why don't you change them first?
Xiang Bei gave Sheng Hui a new dress, the simplest and most convenient kind of clothing.
These were all bought by Xiang Bei from the system's online store: sweatpants and long-sleeved tops.
Xiang Bei didn't give me a skirt or anything like that. It's not appropriate to wear a skirt at a time like this. The simpler the clothes, the better, as they'll make it easier to escape if you encounter zombies.
"You're not looking at me, are you? Are you a man or a woman?" Sheng Hui asked hesitantly, holding the clothes.
Although the name sounds like a girl's, what if it's actually a boy?
Don't worry, I'm a girl, I have everything you have.
Xiang Bei's image flashed in front of Sheng Hui. With each completed task, the system would upgrade accordingly. Although people couldn't leave, it could simulate their own appearance.
Seeing Xiang Bei's appearance, Sheng Hui, though not completely at ease, changed her clothes.
Her clothes were still stained with the rotting flesh of zombies. At first, when Sheng Hui saw these things, she would vomit and her face would turn very pale.
In its worst state, it can be so frightening that the legs go weak and one is unable to walk.
Later she got used to it, and could even look at those things without changing her expression.
Although I've gotten used to the smell of zombies, it's still better to change into clean clothes.
She didn't have many clothes. Yan Ji's team of superhumans didn't have a fixed location and often had to travel around, so sometimes she could wear the same clothes for a long time.
The water-type ability user in the team will only provide her with a little water to drink; forget about washing clothes or taking a bath.
As for that amount of water, it's only because of Yan Ji that we're giving it to him.
While Sheng Hui was changing her clothes, Xiang Bei quickly skimmed through the original plot, noting that some things were only briefly mentioned in the original text.
The fact that the female lead couldn't change her clothes was never even mentioned.
However, being the female lead, even without the ability to wash clothes or take a bath, she remains fair-skinned and beautiful.
It also emphasizes the second female lead's intense jealousy of the female lead's beautiful face, to the point of madness, believing that the female lead seduced the male lead with her pretty face.
He tried several times to ruin the female lead's face but failed, and instead framed her.
As for the male lead, he still blindly favors the second female lead, throwing the female lead into a horde of zombies for her sake, and shamelessly claiming it's a lesson for the female lead for bullying others.
The teammates also watched coldly.
Xiang Bei had the system throw the clothes that Sheng Hui had changed out of into the zombie squad that she had just mowed down.
Wearing her new clothes, Sheng Hui felt a little embarrassed. It had been a long time since she had worn new clothes. Before the zombie virus outbreak, she was a girl who loved beauty.
Her parents gave her a good amount of pocket money, and she would buy herself beautiful new clothes every month.
Sheng Hui felt sad when she thought of her parents.
The university is quite far from home, and after the zombie virus outbreak, her phone was unusable, so she couldn't contact her parents at all and didn't know if they were safe.
She still prayed in her heart that her parents would awaken their superpowers, so that at least they would have a chance to meet again someday.
Several months after the zombie outbreak, a safe base was established and some signals were restored, but communication was only possible through specific methods, and only advanced superhumans were equipped with those communication methods.
Ordinary people like Sheng Hui naturally have no connection to this.
Just as Sheng Hui was feeling sad, the words appeared again.
Your boyfriend and his friends are here. Should you hide or go find them?
Sheng Hui hesitated, "They are all superhumans. If I hide nearby, they will definitely find me."
[You only said to hide, or to go find them? Nothing else is something you need to consider right now.]
Sheng Hui hesitated for three seconds before choosing to hide.
She doesn't want to go back to Yan Ji right now.
Xiang Bei asked the system to help her conceal her presence, ensuring that the male lead wouldn't discover her.
"Tongzi, are you sure you can handle this? That's a superhuman. What if you get caught?"
This was the first time Xiang Bei had encountered people with superpowers, since she had only ever met ordinary humans before, so she asked them a few more questions.
System 9639 was furious. "Host, you can say the system is useless, but you can't say the system is incompetent. I come from the planet of the most advanced civilization. How could I not be able to hide it from a few superhumans?"
Sheng Hui hid in the bushes, her heart pounding as she watched Yan Ji and the others approach, fearing she would be discovered.
Rather than returning to Yan Ji's side, she would rather follow this superhuman named Xiang Bei.
She had just figured it out. With Xiang Bei's abilities, it would be too easy for her to harm her, but she chose to help her instead.
Therefore, Sheng Hui also chose to believe Xiang Bei.
Afraid of making a sound, Sheng Hui bit her hand to avoid being discovered by them.
When Yan Ji and his group saw the zombies lying on the ground with only severed limbs, their expressions changed.
"Where's Sheng Hui? She's gone!" Someone rushed over and searched through the pile of zombies, confirming that Sheng Hui was not there.
"The cores of these zombies have also been dug out. Brother Yan, could it be that Sheng Hui was taken away by some superpowered team? What if they find out about Sheng Hui's abilities?"
Yan Ji's face also darkened.
Li Lulu picked up the clothes on the ground with something in her hand. "I remember these are the clothes Sheng Hui was wearing. It looks like she was scratched by a zombie."
Hearing that Sheng Hui was injured, Yan Ji felt a pang of sadness and a dull ache. He tried his best to ignore the feeling and looked around. "Go and see if there are any traces left around. Sheng Hui can't be infected with the zombie virus. She must not be dead."
“But Brother Yan, if Sheng Hui was rescued, why would she take off her clothes and leave them here? Did she leave naked?” someone said, echoing Li Lulu’s words.
Yan Ji's face immediately darkened again.
In the apocalypse, women without superpowers always have to pay a price to survive.
Sheng Hui was his woman, and the thought of her being touched by someone else made Yan Ji want to kill that person.
But now is not the time to think about these things; he must find Sheng Hui first.
However, there were no traces of other superpowered teams around; the only thing there were bullets on the zombies.
"The other party must be a very powerful superhuman, and very capable. Ordinary people can't get their hands on a gun," someone in the team analyzed.
Even they only had daggers to fight with.
The more this is the case, the more careful they need to be. Even for those with superpowers, being hit by a bullet is no small matter.
In order to find Sheng Hui, the superhumans used all their abilities. Sheng Hui did not have any superhuman abilities, but her physique was too special, which ensured that they could fight the zombies without restraint.
If Sheng Hui is indeed taken away by another team of superpowered individuals, they must bring her back.
But after searching extensively, there were no traces of anything other than bullet marks.
"This is unbelievable! There's not a single sign of a fight. Just who is this guy?"
Their superpowered team may not be the strongest, but they are definitely not to be underestimated.
Currently, there are no rivals.
Now that someone has weapons more powerful than theirs, and can even fight zombies without leaving a trace, they are all frowning.
“The other side is so powerful. If they really forcibly took Sheng Hui away, I’m afraid they won’t be able to bring her back. Besides, Sheng Hui is so beautiful. Yan Ji, no matter what, it’s best if she’s safe and sound.” Li Lulu looked at Yan Ji and said with a worried expression.
The more she said that, the angrier Yan Ji became. A purple ball of lightning appeared in his palm, which he hurled to the side.
He was silently venting his inner dissatisfaction.
In his heart, Sheng Hui was his woman, and no other man could touch her except him. But now Sheng Hui was gone, and her clothes were just lying on the ground. It was very likely that they had been taken away by other superhumans.
The towering tree was instantly charred black by lightning, and was still crackling with electricity.
Sheng Hui broke out in a cold sweat, and her hand was bleeding from being bitten on the tiger's mouth. However, she did not notice that her hand was bleeding because she was hiding behind the tree. Now that the tree had fallen, she was completely unharmed.
However, the person was exposed.
Don't speak, they can't see you.
Upon seeing the scrolling text appear, Sheng Hui immediately covered her mouth with her other hand, using both hands to firmly seal her lips and prevent herself from making a sound.
Yan Ji looked around, his gaze sweeping over Sheng Hui's position several times, but his eyes never lingered on her.
"Brother Yan, there really isn't a trace. The other party seems to be quite extraordinary."
"Yes, the only clue is these bullet marks. The other party must not be an ordinary person to have such a weapon."
“Base Seven is nearby. Could Sheng Hui have been taken away by people from Base Seven who came out on a mission?” Li Lulu guessed.
Yan Ji sensed that Sheng Hui was nearby, but Sheng Hui had no special abilities and could not escape the search of those with special abilities.
Perhaps it was because Sheng Hui's clothes were left here that he was so uneasy.
Yan Ji took Sheng Hui's clothes away, and the others wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
Finally, Yan Ji's best friend spoke up, "Brother Yan, if Sheng Hui is really taken away by Base Seven and they find out the secret about her, I'm afraid they won't release her easily."
"They have to release it, whether they want to or not." As Yan Ji spoke, purple lightning surrounded him. Under such circumstances, he was about to advance his superpower again.
Seeing that Yan Ji was about to become an eighth-level ability user, the other ability users in the team immediately showed joy in their eyes.
To their knowledge, there are currently no publicly disclosed Level 8 superpowers.
It cannot be ruled out that some people are hiding their strength, but nowadays the strong are respected, so basically no one will hide their strength. Therefore, Yan Ji should be the only level eight lightning-type ability user.
Everyone looked at Yan Ji with excitement in their eyes.
The stronger Yan Ji is, the safer their superpowered team will be.
Xiang Bei, however, felt that something was wrong.
But I couldn't quite put my finger on what was wrong; it was just that a few fragments from the original text suddenly flashed through my mind.
Take a few steps back.
Sheng Hui looked at the words floating in front of her, covered her mouth, and backed away.
Xiang Bei didn't tell her to stop, so she kept backing away.
Until Yan Ji's superpower suddenly dropped back to level seven.
【stop! 】
Sheng Hui stopped in her tracks.
The ability users on the other side looked at each other in confusion. Yan Ji's ability was just about to be successfully upgraded, so why did it suddenly fall back down?
None of them had ever advanced to level eight in superpowers, and they only guessed that level eight was a new threshold, so it wasn't so easy to advance.
But even a genius like Yan Ji encountered difficulties. When they advance to the eighth level of superpowers, won't it be even more difficult?
Yan Ji looked at his palm, somewhat bewildered. He had clearly felt something surrounding him, filling his body with power.
He was very familiar with this feeling; it would occur every time he enhanced his superpowers.
But now, he feels that power is slowly slipping away.
This felt like he had lost something important, something he desperately wanted to grasp but couldn't.
Yan Ji felt something was wrong, very wrong.
But he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Take two steps forward.
Sheng Hui obediently walked forward.
Yan Ji felt that power return.
He planned to seize this opportunity to advance to level eight in one fell swoop, aiming to become the most powerful superhuman in the world.
Run! Run backwards, don't look back! Keep running forward.
Sheng Hui immediately turned and ran, not daring to look back.
Xiang Bei threw the coin she had redeemed from the system shop toward Yan Ji.
This weapon isn't just for inducing tears; it also has some explosive power. While it won't kill these superpowered individuals, it can certainly make them suffer a bit.
Seeing something being thrown at her, Li Lulu didn't think twice and lashed out with her whip. The thing suddenly exploded in mid-air. Because of her supernatural ability, she wasn't injured, but some powdery stuff fell down. It was too late to run away. As soon as she touched the stuff, tears streamed down her face.
Yan Ji suddenly burst into tears and roared, "This is impossible!"
His superpower actually decreased.
It kept dropping until it reached level five before stopping.
The smoke from the gunfire filled the surrounding area, and everyone was still crying, so they couldn't see what was happening on his side.
Yan Ji tried to enhance his superpower again, but he no longer had the same feeling as before. The more he tried, the more his superpower seemed to drop.
This made him feel extremely panicked.
Why did his superpower suddenly disappear?
He didn't do anything?
No, there are still differences.
In the past, Sheng Hui was always by his side whenever he advanced in his abilities, but this time, Sheng Hui was not there and this happened.
Yan Ji didn't want to think this way, but a voice in his heart told him that his enhanced abilities must have something to do with Sheng Hui.
No matter what, he was determined to find Sheng Hui, even if Sheng Hui was truly...
No matter what Sheng Hui looks like, he must keep her by his side. This unexpected turn of events is making him very anxious.
His eccentricity can't drop any lower.
The powdery mist finally dissipated, but that stuff kept making them tear up, and no amount of washing with water could help.
They cried for three days and three nights, their eyes were so red and swollen, they almost cried themselves blind.
They didn't dare to run around during this time; in this state, it was impossible for them to deal with zombies.
