There was no time to wait until tomorrow morning, so Jiang Ruan immediately ran upstairs. Before leaving, she instructed, "I'll go up first, you all get to know each other, and then I'll come down and we'll have a good meal together."
Jiang Ruan went up, leaving the crowd looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Um, I'm Wan Mei, the caregiver Jiang Ruan hired to take care of her parents. It's nice to meet you all." Wan Mei scratched her head and moved closer to them.
She has always been a bit outgoing, optimistic, cheerful, and a very kind person, so she greets everyone who comes here with great enthusiasm.
"I'm An Xia, Jiang Ruan's best friend and sister. This is my younger sister, An Chun. It's nice to meet you." An Xia pulled An Chun from beside the table and chairs and pushed her in front of her.
She was so frightened outside that she has only just recovered. She used to be an arrogant young lady, but now she was almost scared out of her wits by some weird monsters that Jiang Ruan called zombies.
It would be so embarrassing if this got out.
An Chun nodded. She was a slow starter and didn't say much to people she wasn't familiar with.
Zhang Yang and Li Ming introduced themselves one by one, and it was the first time they had met.
At this moment, they had no idea that they had already stood at the forefront of superhumans, far surpassing ordinary people, and were about to shine in the fight against zombies.
After introducing themselves, they sat down to discuss the recent zombie outbreak. Looking at the sky outside, they realized it was almost time for the zombies to appear again.
Actually, they were unaware of the information about zombies beforehand; Zhang Yang on the forum had provided some information in stages.
As more people see it, they get a general understanding.
Even if everyone takes these as jokes, they can't deny that the appearance and disappearance of these zombies are exactly the same as what Zhang Yang said on Weibo.
This means that after a month, zombies will indeed no longer fear the light and will freely roam the streets.
Just as they were about to ask for more detailed advice on effective methods to combat zombies, they heard a commotion upstairs.
"Let's go up and take a look!"
The group quickly climbed the stairs and ran up as fast as they could.
Naturally, Li Ming was thrown downstairs.
Inside the room was a touching scene of three people embracing and weeping. The only strange phenomenon, and the source of the sound, was the bell-like object hanging from Jiang Ruan's waist.
Seeing the three of them immersed in the joy of reuniting, they did not interrupt this heartwarming moment, until the bell rang louder and the vibrations became stronger.
Jiang Ruan finally realized that something was wrong.
She looked down at the dumb bell she had picked up casually in the space, which she hung on her waist to remind herself to keep an eye on the baby's movements.
Only by hanging the objects from the space on one's body can one draw the contents of one's mind anytime, anywhere.
In other words, only in this way can those images be made concrete.
But she didn't expect that this bell might have a very special origin.
As the loud noise echoed throughout the mall, Jiang Ruan quickly instructed Wan Mei to close the windows and activate the silent mode.
She didn't want to become a scapegoat at this time and be arrested and investigated by the government.
Because she had noticed that the national investigation team had started loitering around the area.
This investigation team was specifically set up for people like her who had spatial systems. Once they detected any such tendency, they would immediately use the tactic of recruiting her, but in reality, they would secretly deal with her.
To prevent these people from disrupting social order and causing unnecessary trouble.
Jiang Ruan had planned ahead and used counter-surveillance methods from the very beginning to avoid being discovered.
However, she still felt like she was being watched.
She even suspected that the bell, which seemed to have a special origin, rang specifically to remind her of this matter.
Jiang Ruan took the bell off and placed it in her hand. At the same time, she took the small knife she carried with her and cut her middle finger, dripping blood onto the bell.
As the blood seeped into the bell, it slowly stopped ringing and began to turn transparent, disappearing into Jiang Ruan's middle finger under her gaze.
It was faintly visible, just like the flower on her forehead.
A warm current flowed through her from the inside out and from top to bottom, and Jiang Ruan was surprised to find that she seemed to have awakened another superpower.
Compared to healing abilities, this one is offensive. Countless internal techniques flashed through her mind, each move seemingly possessing a magical power, deeply engraved in Jiang Ruan's heart.
"What's wrong, Ruan Ruan? Don't scare your mother." Jiang's mother had just woken up when she saw her daughter staring blankly at one spot. No matter how she called, she couldn't wake her up, and she was very worried.
"Child, what's going on?" Jiang's father looked at Jiang Ruan with a serious tone, then glanced at the strangers watching outside, becoming wary.
As Jiang's mother shook her, Jiang Ruan slowly regained her senses, and the supernatural power had been completely absorbed.
"Dad, Mom, I'm fine. I was just lost in thought. Don't worry." Jiang Ruan spoke up first, afraid that her parents would overthink things.
"That's good, I was so scared. You're our only precious daughter, nothing can happen to you." Jiang's mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her tone rising, her voice filled with joy at Jiang Ruan's recovery.
"Ruan Ruan, Uncle and Auntie, it's been a long time!" An Xia peeked out from behind, having been blocked by Zhang Yang. Now that everyone had recovered, she ran out.
"Xiaxia, wow, this girl is getting prettier and prettier."
Jiang's mother got up and pulled Anxia to the bedside, but because she had been lying down for a long time, her legs had not fully recovered their strength, and Anxia had to support her to avoid falling.
Before the group could exchange a few pleasantries, a commotion arose outside. Wan Mei turned on the security camera at the door, where several people dressed in black, neither male nor female, stood looking around.
They were shouting, "Open the door quickly! We're from the National Investigation Team. We suspect there are superhumans here. Come out now!"
His tone was urgent, giving the impression that he was about to break down the door if they didn't open it quickly.
Jiang Ruan knew they must have some evidence to come here; otherwise, without proof, they wouldn't have the authority.
"Mom and Dad, wait for me here. Zhang Yang and I will go take a look."
Jiang Ruan got up, took the escalator downstairs, and stared at the large screen at the door, carefully observing the masked people.
"Zhang Yang, can your system detect a person's character?" Jiang Ruan touched the screen, zoomed in on the faces of those people, and after confirming that she didn't recognize them, turned to look at Zhang Yang.
"Sorry, it's probably because my ability level is too low. I can only recognize people I'm face-to-face with. There's no reaction when there's a door between us and people I can't touch!"
Zhang Yang looked apologetic. He had started a system check as soon as he arrived, but unfortunately there was no response.
"Is that so? Then it seems we have no choice but to go out and take a look," Jiang Ruan said thoughtfully.
