Chapter 76 Rebound?
The young man wearing black-framed glasses pushed through the crowd and grabbed Shu Lan's arm, muttering, "You know God best. Last...last night, I was the only one who could hear its voice. Does this mean that I've been sentenced to death by God?"
Shu Lan's voice came from her nasal cavity, which is commonly known as the "clip sound", trying her best to prevent him from hearing that she was the same person as the god last night.
"No, I've heard it speak before, but it's alive now."
This shot of reassurance hit the young man's heart, and he was filled with gratitude: "That's good, that's good. Hey? How dare you run around the city alone?"
Shu Lan said, "What kind of person is this? He obviously has such a big son. He's not a ghost. How can you pretend not to see it? Maomao, show them your special ability."
She covered her nose in advance, and before the onlookers could react, an indescribable corpse stench, which she had often smelled on zombies in recent years but was several times stronger than that of zombies, exploded like a biological weapon.
The gathered crowd fled in all directions. At this time, the guy with super hearing who was closest to him also hurriedly covered his nose and retreated. Suddenly, he tripped and fell backwards to the ground, and his palms brushed the ground.
Shu Lan pinched the soft flesh on Shu Maomao's arm, and Shu Maomao withdrew his magical power. She quickly took a deep breath and waved to the people who were hiding far away: "It's okay."
"Wow, this ability is pretty powerful."
Shu Lan said modestly, "It's not very powerful, but it's useful for escaping."
She parked the car and went over to help the guy who had fallen. "I'm sorry, I should have warned you in advance. Your hand is bleeding. Here's a tissue."
A beautiful young lady held my wrist and wiped the wound. She blew on it in the middle. I didn’t feel any pain, but the fragrance came to my face. It was so beautiful that it seemed like a dream.
The innocent boy's cheeks flushed red, and he stammered, "It's okay, I, I was careless!"
He pulled his hand away and almost ran away.
Shu Lan put the tissue into her bag and glanced at her watch calmly. "It's one in the afternoon now. If you want to come with me, you have to leave quickly. Our base is quite far away. Let's try to arrive before tomorrow night."
Accustomed to being a commander, she spoke in an unconsciously commanding tone, but no one paid any attention.
After all, the combination of a woman and a child has a reassuring affinity from a visual point of view, and it is not an offensive ability. In addition, the good news she brought was quickly accepted by District 12. They returned with joy to prepare their things, hoping to rush to the new human base she mentioned as it was rich in supplies, safe and stable as soon as possible.
The psychics who had been busy all night and couldn't rest peacefully during the day could finally lie down in the carriage and have a good sleep.
Lu Xingyao was called aside by Qu Xiang. Seeing the woman named "Qin Xiaoshuang" surrounded by curious people again, he spoke cautiously, "Commander, I think something is fishy. Not only with the evil god, but also with this woman. Do you really believe what she said?"
Lu Xingyao, who already believed 80% of the existence of the God of Destruction, said, "Yes, otherwise how would I lose my supernatural powers?"
Qu Xiang thought about it again and again, and his brows gradually frowned: "Come here, I want to tell you something I heard before."
The two left the group and went to an alley on the side of the road. It was not so noisy around and no one could hear them talking.
Qu Xiang said, "A long time ago, probably when the zombie outbreak first started, I heard about a superpower called plunder, which is to steal other people's superpowers."
Lu Xingyao thought of his lost supernatural powers and said in a daze, "You mean, those monsters last night and the problems I had weren't caused by the God of Destruction, but by humans?"
"I hadn't thought of this ability before, because last night there was no one else here except the survivors from District 12. It was only when two unfamiliar faces suddenly appeared today, saying there were other survivors, that I thought of this possibility. Ever since global communications collapsed, I've been listening to the radio. The first person to possess this ability was called... It's been so long I can't remember his name, but it was three characters. He was a badminton player in East Lake Province. He single-handedly saved a large number of survivors, and the radio hailed him as a hero. Later, East Lake Province fell, and everyone was fleeing, and I never heard from him again."
Lu Xingyao also became suspicious and asked, "Is the one with the plundering ability a man or a woman?"
Qu Xiang said, "Men. Even if a child isn't born after awakening, the probability of inheriting superpowers is particularly high. Look at the child's age. Do you think it could be..."
A woman's sweet laughter echoed behind them: "What is it?"
The strong sense of crisis made Qu Xiang's heart skip a beat. He subconsciously pulled out the gun on his back and pointed the gun at the mother and child who suddenly appeared in the alley.
Shu Maomao is still wearing the sunglasses because his mommy said he looks handsome in them, so he has never taken them off.
Moreover, he also found it amazing that the lenses, which looked so black, could block out the glare of the sun while still allowing him to see things clearly.
He glanced at Qu Xiang and didn't take the man's threat seriously.
The casing of a bullet is usually made of metal, so if it is metal, it will be controlled. Even if it is not, there is an air wall to block it.
Lu Xingyao grabbed Qu Xiang’s hand and whispered, “Don’t shoot, they may not be the kind of superpowers you said.”
Shu Lan said, "I'm sorry. I was halfway there when I realized I hadn't explained some important things about our base to the commander. It's such a pity that I just came here and heard you guys discussing words like plunder and heredity. Are you suspicious of me?"
She was smiling, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, which made her look cold.
Lu Xingyao didn't want to argue with the girl who was so kind as to lead them. "No, the deputy commander was just making a random guess. I'm willing to believe you."
Qu Xiang said, "I don't believe it. There is no God in the world. She is lying. What happened last night must be related to the plundering of superpowers. If we don't kill her, she will take away everyone's superpowers!"
Shu Lan looked at him with a hint of pity: "If you don't believe me, then don't believe me. If I really am the liar you say I am, do you think you can kill me with one shot?"
Normally, everyone would hesitate for a while after hearing this, but Qu Xiang pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Lu Xingyao had no time to stop him and shouted anxiously, "Qu Xiang, don't be impulsive!"
The gun went off, and the bullet turned the moment it left the barrel, heading towards Qu Xiang's forehead.
After a muffled sound, a gunshot wound appeared on the little boy's forehead.
Shu Lan turned around in surprise and saw that the person who was shot was someone she didn't expect. Her heart suddenly ached violently and her pupils contracted.
Maomao...her son...
"Look, Lao Lu, I was right!" Qu Xiang escaped death and shouted in surprise: "This kid has the ability to plunder! So he has more than one ability! He can control bullets to kill me, but I didn't expect my ability to rebound fatal injuries! Hahahaha..."
"Oh, a rebound?" The little boy's clear and calm voice interrupted the joy on the other side. The wound of flesh and blood that could be clearly seen just now had disappeared without a trace. His forehead was smooth and white, without even a drop of sweat.
Shu Lan's sweat broke out like a waterfall. She squatted down with her limbs weak, covering her heart which was still aching.
Fortunately, fortunately, there is Jiang He's death immunity and rewind.
