Chapter 34 Gaining superpowers
After hearing Li Lingyu's assurance, Jiang Xianchuan didn't want to think too much about it. He then took Shi Yi's hand, examined it carefully, and exclaimed: "It's really glowing, you two come and see!"
Shi Yi was startled by Jiang Xianchuan's action, but she still looked at the back of her hand obediently. She was surprised to find that there was indeed a faint light flashing on her hand. She said in confusion: "Really? I didn't notice it just now."
Jiang Xianchuan frowned and fell into deep thought. He suddenly thought of a possibility, so he asked, "Do you think this light has something to do with the barrier that just blocked the attack?"
In order to verify his guess, Jiang Xianchuan decided to conduct an experiment immediately. He eagerly pulled Li Lingyu and Shi Yi, ran to the paper box nearby, and explained to them: "I will throw this stone at that paper box, Shi Yi, see if you can block it. If you can, it means my guess is correct." After that, he picked up a stone and prepared to throw it at the paper box.
Just as the stone was about to hit the cardboard box, a transparent barrier suddenly appeared and blocked the stone.
Shi Yi was surprised by the appearance of this barrier. She stared at the scene with wide eyes. Jiang Xianchuan looked at Shi Yi with surprise and said loudly: "Shi Yi, you have superpowers!"
Hearing this, Shi Yi smiled excitedly. She had never thought that she actually possessed supernatural powers. She tried to open the barrier again, and it was successful again. But this time it lasted a little shorter than last time, only about three minutes.
Seeing this, Jiang Xianchuan decided to do another experiment. He picked up a piece and threw it hard at Shi Yi, who immediately deployed a barrier. However, this time the barrier only lasted for a minute before disappearing.
Then, Jiang Xianchuan conducted a series of experiments, including cutting with a knife and burning with fire to test Shi Yi's barrier strength.
After many attempts, they found that Shi Yi's barrier could only last for five minutes at most, and as the number of uses increased, the duration and hardness of the barrier would gradually decrease.
The three of them were all filled with excitement and joy. Shi Yi's ability gave them hope for the future. "It seems that my method of making a wish every morning really works." Shi Yi said happily.
Jiang Xianchuan smiled and nodded: "Yes, it seems we are lucky." He patted Shi Yi's shoulder gently to express encouragement and support.
Afterwards, the three began to pack their backpacks, check their weapons and supplies, and prepare to move on. However, when they stepped out of the factory gate, the scene before them froze their smiles.
Outside the factory, a large number of zombies gathered together, forming a sea of terror. Their figures swayed in the darkness, making low roars, as if they were waiting for something.
"This...how can there be so many?" Shi Yi's eyes widened and his voice trembled.
Jiang Xianchuan frowned, secretly thanking his lucky stars that the noise he made when he opened the door just now was not loud and did not attract the attention of the zombies.
But now, they are faced with a serious problem - how to cross this swarm of zombies?
They cautiously returned to the factory to discuss countermeasures. Jiang Xianchuan proposed several plans, but all of them had certain risks.
Finally, they decided to use the resources in the factory to create some distractions to attract the zombies' attention, and then take the opportunity to pass through the group of corpses.
After some nervous preparation, they threw some worn-out metal parts into the distance, making a loud crash. Sure enough, the zombies were attracted by the sound and swarmed towards the source of the sound.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the three of them quickly rushed out of the factory and ran towards a safe area. Along the way, they avoided several lone zombies and finally escaped from the dangerous area successfully.
