Mu Wenxi stared intently at Qin Lun: "I must not have seen wrong, right?"
Although Qin Lun was a little shy and buried himself in the blanket, he still answered her softly, "I also feel the changes in my body."
Mu Wenxi asked curiously, "But why did it only last for such a short while?"
Qin Lun recalled the strange feeling in his body just now: "I suspect that I did not turn back into a human. Being human is just a form that I can maintain with my superpower. Right now, my superpower is not stable or perhaps my superpower is not strong enough, so I cannot maintain the human form indefinitely."
Mu Wenxi: "Understood. Then let's go kill more zombies tomorrow and find more crystal cores to see if we can extend the duration of our buffs."
Qin Lun: "Okay."
Over the next week, Mu Wenxi and Yu Chaoyang's team worked diligently to deal with the zombies in the city, and the number of zombies gradually decreased.
Finally, one night, Qin Lun confirmed his idea.
After swallowing the crystal core, he felt the changes in his body, but this time he remembered to cover himself with the blanket beforehand.
A moment later, he opened his eyes to examine the changes in his body and found that he had returned to his appearance before the apocalypse: nearly 1.9 meters tall, with black hair, a snow-white body, thin but strong. He opened his palm and looked closely at his hands.
One second he was seeing claws, the next his hands had returned to normal, with fair, slender fingers and distinct knuckles.
He manipulated his long-unused body, put on the clothes beside him, and skipped off the bed.
To give him some space, Mu Wenxi deliberately went to another empty room.
She heard a knock at the door, opened it, and the next second a strange man pulled her into his arms. She was about to push him away when she smelled a familiar scent, and she was somewhat incredulous.
Qin Lun was even more excited than her: "Mu Wenxi, I can transform into human form now."
Mu Wenxi pushed Qin Lun away, and in front of her was a handsome face that bore no resemblance whatsoever to the monstrous Qin Lun: "Are you really Qin Lun?"
Qin Lun: "It's me."
Mu Wenxi was happy for him: "Incredible, congratulations."
Qin Lun: "It really is as I guessed, but I can't maintain this state for too long."
Mu Wenxi: "This is already very good. With time, we will definitely be able to persist for longer."
Qin Lun: "Yes, thank you."
Mu Wenxi: "Now that you can transform back into human form, how about we set off to leave this place tomorrow?"
Qin Lun: "Okay."
Mu Wenxi had told his grandmother and Xiaoxing about leaving in advance, and after they both agreed, Mu Wenxi said goodbye to Yu Chaoyang and the others: "We plan to leave tomorrow."
Yu Chaoyang: "So fast?"
Mu Wenxi: "We still have things to do. There are far fewer zombies in this city now. We need higher-level zombie crystal cores to enhance our abilities."
Yu Chaoyang: "Okay, you guys go first. We'll go to the Northeast after we finish dealing with things here. We'll definitely have a chance to meet again in the future."
In the morning, as the sun rose, the view outside the window was bright. For a moment, Mu Wenxi might have thought that the apocalypse had not come. Unfortunately, the reality outside the window shattered Mu Wenxi's illusion.
After waking up her grandmother and Xingxing, they walked back the way they had come.
It was still the same human wall, the scattered limbs, the stench of decay in the air, the flies on the corpses—everything was the same. But this time, they turned around and saw a few more friends who had come to say goodbye.
Mu Wenxi: "See you in the next city."
Yu Chaoyang: "Goodbye."
Yuan Jin waved vigorously at them: "Goodbye."
In the car, the group discussed where to go next, and everyone looked at Mu Wenxi.
Mu Wenxi: "Let's head north."
City T.
Mu Wenxi drove his car to the entrance of T City. At the entrance to the city, there were people guarding with guns. As the car slowly drove past, Mu Wenxi saw a sign at the entrance that read: "Welcome to T City. Here, as long as you have the strength, you can get anything you want."
This is the first border. After passing through the checkpoint and entering the city, driving is no longer allowed ahead. Mu Wenxi and his group could only park their car not far away. There were many other cars around. They took their supplies and prepared to get out of the car to take a look ahead.
There were quite a few people queuing up in front.
After some investigation, Mu Wenxi realized that this was a base established by T City, and that one could enter the base by handing over a certain number of crystal cores.
The soldiers in front shouted, "Distribute resources according to the supplies handed over."
Mu Wenxi clicked his tongue: "One person can enter Zone A by submitting ten green crystal cores, one person can enter Zone B by submitting ten red crystal cores, five red crystal cores can enter Zone C, three red crystal cores can enter Zone D, one red crystal core can enter Zone E, and five orange crystal cores can enter Zone F..."
Qin Lun: "It seems there is quite a class division here."
Grandma: "If we want to go in, the four of us will need at least twenty orange crystal cores."
Soon it was the turn of a few people in the line.
The soldier looked at them: "How do you four plan to get in?"
Mu Wenxi scratched his head: "What if we don't have enough crystal cores?"
The soldier didn't mean to look down on them, and asked, "Do you have any special abilities?"
Mu Wenxi: Yes
Soldier: "Then you can form or join a superpowered squad. Some superpowered squads don't require you to hand over supplies and will even provide them. However, forming a superpowered squad does require crystal cores. The specific information is here."
Mu Wenxi read it carefully: "To form even the lowest-level superpowered squad, you only need ten green crystal cores, and you can also be allocated a five-person house."
Qin Lun: "Why not just form a special abilities team?"
Grandma: "Look here, if your superpower level is high, you can get some perks."
Mu Wenxi glanced at it: "Feels good."
After making their decision, the group approached the soldier: "Hello, we want to register a superpowered squad."
The soldiers were somewhat surprised, having expected them to back down, but they hadn't realized they actually possessed superpowers: "How many of you have superpowers?"
Mu Wenxi: "The two of them."
Soldier: "Come here to register your information."
Mu Wenxi carried Qin Lun and Xiao Xing to register their superpowers, and the soldier nodded to the registration staff.
Registrar: "Give your superpowered team a name."
The group started whispering among themselves.
Mu Wenxi: "How about we call it the Avengers Squad?"
Grandma: "Isn't this too obvious?"
Qin Lun: "Let's go with this one. The more obvious it is, the less people will notice."
Mu Wenxi patted Qin Lun's head: "From now on, you can pretend to be a little pet. Xingxing, let's register together."
The registrar inside asked, "How many people?"
Mu Wenxi: "Three people."
