Chapter 139 He's overthinking it [5]
While Lin Xiangheng was cooking, A Chu became familiar with the outgoing Maiya and Yue Tingsong.
Maiya first mentioned the matter of superpowers to Achu, saying that some people, like the few of them, had awakened superpowers.
Ah Chu blinked, her big almond-shaped eyes full of curiosity.
"So, what kind of superpowers do you all have?"
Yue Tingsong: "I have water-based superpowers."
As he spoke, he raised his right palm, and a water ball condensed in his palm.
Ah Chu whispered, "Wow, that's amazing!"
Yue Tingsong grinned: "It's a pity that all I can do now is relieve myself, at most give the zombies a bath, hahaha!"
"Our boss is the best! He has wind-based abilities. One wind blade and he slices the zombie's head off. It's so cool!"
Achu looked at Chen Wang, her eyes filled with shock and admiration: "So amazing!"
Shen Wang, who hadn't felt anything about his special ability before, now seemed to really think he was pretty amazing when the little girl looked at him like that.
He coughed lightly and said calmly, "It's alright."
Achu looked at Zhang Jingzhu and Maiya curiously and asked, "What kind of superpowers do Sister Azhu, Sister Maiya, and Brother Xu have?"
When Tian Tian called Zhang Jingzhu "Sister Azhu," Zhang Jingzhu's world-weary expression almost crumbled.
She replied, "I'm a healer; minor cuts and scrapes heal instantly, but more serious injuries can only stop the bleeding."
Achu: "Wow! Maybe when you, Sister Azhu, have even more powerful abilities in the future, you can even heal wounds from zombie bites!"
Hearing what Achu said, he felt a faint hope: "I hope so."
If the wounds from being bitten by zombies could be healed, then she and her teammates wouldn't have to worry about being hurt by zombies anymore.
Achu nodded vigorously: "It can definitely be done!"
Zhang Jingzhu looked at A Chu, her eyes softening.
Achu then looked at Maiya.
Maiya said, "I have the ability to metallize, which means I can control any part of my body to become metal. For example, if a zombie is about to bite my arm, I can make my arm metallize, and it won't be able to bite me."
As she spoke, she raised her arm to demonstrate for Achu.
Her arm had turned silver and was hard as a rock.
Ah Chu's eyes sparkled: "Then Sister Maiya will be indestructible! Her whole body will be metal, so she won't have to worry about being bitten by zombies or being afraid of bullets!"
Malt's eyes sparkled: "Oh yeah! Then I'll be invincible from now on!"
Achu nodded vigorously in agreement.
Over there, Xu Da said he had earth-based superpowers.
Ah Chu also praised the earth-type superpower.
Then she learned from Maiya about Lin Xiangheng's special ability while he was cooking in the kitchen.
My wood-type ability is currently limited to sprouting seeds; my daily routine involves sprouting soybeans and mung beans.
In addition, Lin Xiangheng is quite good at cooking, so he is usually in charge of cooking.
Chen Wang looked at A Chu.
The little girl was obedient and timid, and seemed to have done nothing wrong, which allowed Malt and the others to tell her about their special abilities without any suspicion.
Malt is one thing, but he's simple-minded.
Despite his seemingly simple-minded and cheerful demeanor, Yue Tingsong is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Zhang Jingzhu was extremely wary of outsiders.
Shen Wang couldn't help but suspect that A Chu's timidity was an act.
However, in the next moment, he dispelled his doubts.
Achu took the initiative to say to Zhang Jingzhu and the others, "I should also have superpowers."
Shen Wang: "..." He's overthinking it.
Upon hearing A Chu's words, Yue Tingsong and the others asked curiously, "What kind of superpower does Mianmian have?"
Achu said uncertainly, "Maybe it's a metal type? Not like Sister Maiya, but something that I can turn into hard metal whenever it gets my hands on it."
Malt immediately became interested: "For example?"
Ah Chu picked up a book that was on the coffee table.
She randomly flipped to a page.
Yue Tingsong and the others stared at it, and then they saw that the page that A Chu was holding had visibly turned into a metallic silver color.
"Wow! Mianmian, your superpower is pretty good too! You can turn anything into a weapon for self-defense!"
Achu blushed and looked a little embarrassed: "But I'm too timid, I'm terrified of killing zombies."
Malt waved her hand: "It's okay, you'll get used to it after killing a few more! I'll take you with me later!"
Hearing Maiya's bold words, Achu shook her head repeatedly: "I...I'm still scared..."
Before Maiya could say anything more, Lin Xiangheng called out that dinner was ready.
The group, who were already starving, immediately stood up.
"Here I am!"
"Sister Mianmian, why don't you eat some more?" Yue Tingsong invited Achu.
Ah Chu waved her hand and declined, "No need, I just ate before you came."
She really had just eaten and was still full.
Seeing that Achu wasn't just being polite, they stopped extending invitations.
Shen Wang and the others went to the dining room, while A Chu sat on the sofa in the living room.
It was getting dark.
The power went out two days ago, and the lighting in the villa is provided by emergency candles that Su's mother bought.
Light one up, the kind that can keep the lights on all night.
Although the light wasn't very bright, it was still enough to see clearly.
After dinner, Chen Wang and the others told A Chu that they would stay there for the night and leave early the next morning.
Chen Wang: "If there's anything you need to take with you, you can pack it up tonight."
He paused, then added, "Only bring the essentials."
Achu nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Achu let Chenwang and the others choose the rooms they wanted to stay in that night.
There were two bedrooms on the first floor, which Xu Da and Lin Xiangheng chose.
There are three bedrooms on the second floor, and Maiya, Zhang Jingzhu, and Yue Tingsong chose to stay there.
The third floor was where the original owner and Su Yiyue lived, and the fourth floor was the master bedroom of Su's father and mother.
Shen Wang chose the third floor.
Although the villa area seemed safe, Chen Wang still arranged for people to take turns keeping watch at night.
From 8:00 to 11:00, it was Maiya and Lin Xiangheng; from 11:00 to 2:00 AM, it was Zhang Jingzhu and Yue Tingsong.
From 2 a.m. to 6 a.m., it is Shen Wang and Xu Da.
They were to set off at 6:30.
With nothing to do at night and the power out, everyone naturally went to bed early.
Achu and Shen Wang went up to the third floor together.
She walked ahead, holding a candle.
As she walked, she realized that Chen Wang hadn't kept up, so she stopped and turned around.
Then I saw Shen Wang standing in the corridor on the third floor, looking at the empty walls.
There were several hooks on the wall for hanging photos, so photos had obviously been hanging there before.
Achu walked over and looked at the wall as well.
“There used to be photos of me, my sister, and my parents hanging here,” she said softly.
"I've put all the photos away. I need to take them with me when I leave here."
"I'm afraid that without photos, I won't be able to remember what my parents look like many years from now."
Her voice was already tinged with sobs.
Chen Wang turned his head and lowered his eyes; in the dim candlelight, the little girl had already shed tears.
She raised her hand to wipe away the tears, but they just wouldn't stop.
Shen Wang could not understand her grief at losing her parents.
But he still said, "Just take one or two, there's too much for the car to fit."
