Chapter 39 The couple's secret
With the high priest here, the fact that there are no cheetahs in this old and dilapidated house will soon be discovered, and then it will be dangerous here. I hope they can act slower.
In the afternoon, Zhang Xiaobai came back with a bag full of crystal cores.
Pu Zhi took the crystal core and glanced at the bag casually. It was only the 26th, but he had already collected 300 crystal cores. It seemed that he had some tricks up his sleeve.
Pu Zhi repeated to him the news about the base being built: "Although I don't know who your enemy is, going to the base might be a better choice for you."
"No, I want to avenge my grandma!" He said this without any hesitation, and the hatred in his eyes almost turned into reality.
"In that case, I'll give you two choices. One is to give you weapons as promised before, 100 crystal cores in exchange for one bullet, and you can buy it on credit.
The second option is for me to help you awaken your superpowers." Before Pu Zhi could finish her words, his head suddenly lifted up, his face filled with disbelief.
Can he also awaken superpowers? Superpowers aren't something only those with good luck can possess...
Pu Zhi did not explain and continued, "The premise is that you must listen to me from now on. I won't restrict you too much, but if you dare to betray me, I will kill you.
Of course, it's not 100% successful, there's a certain chance you'll turn into a zombie."
Her tone was flat, her words inexpressibly understated.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaobai's heart was already in turmoil, and his restless heart told him to choose superpowers!
Pu Zhi was not surprised by his choice. If she had awakened her special powers in her previous life, she would have been willing to work like a slave for others.
She took out the thermos cup from the house and handed it to Zhang Xiaobai personally: "From now on, you are mine. Don't drink this. You can use it to wash your face or take a bath after diluting it. It's best to use it several times. Don't tell anyone else. You should know the severity of this matter."
Zhang Xiaobai nodded solemnly to show that he remembered it, and left with a dazed and unsteady pace.
At the same time, the servant card in the space disappeared and turned into a black light that only Pu Zhi could see and penetrated into Zhang Xiaobai's body.
What I said was not for fun. If he dared to betray me, I would really take his life. This is the price of awakening superpowers.
Suddenly, she looked up and saw through the layers of floor that Huang Dashan and his wife were lying on the stairs on the eighth floor, trying hard to eavesdrop.
Zhang Xiaobai and I spoke quietly, so I don't know how much the other two heard.
It's time to die...
The next day, the couple who were supposed to leave the departure base did not leave, saying that they were reluctant to leave everyone and planned to stay a few more days.
He also had to drag Zhang Xiaobai along to kill zombies.
When they came back, Pu Zhi called Zhang Xiaobai to question him. Without looking up, he knew that there were two guys eavesdropping on the eighth floor.
This time she opened the iron gate for the first time and invited Zhang Xiaobai into the house.
Zhang Xiaobai was flattered and sat awkwardly on the dining chair in the living room.
"Did they ask you anything?" Pu Zhi took out a bag of potato chips and pushed it in front of him.
Zhang Xiaobai knew who she was referring to, and also knew what they were planning, so he said truthfully, "Yes, they asked me what you gave me, and they mentioned superpowers from time to time. They might have overheard something yesterday afternoon.
But don't worry, I won't tell you anything without your consent."
Pu Zhi hummed lightly, but looked diagonally upwards. Seeing that they could no longer hear any sound, the couple had already run to the seventh floor.
"Very good. The matter of superpowers must not be leaked. I leave these two to you."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaobai suddenly raised his head and subconsciously asked, "Why? Although they do have evil intentions, but..."
As he spoke, he realized that he had overstepped his bounds and made a huge mistake.
If I were Pu Zhi, and I had the secret of awakening superpowers, and it was heard by other people with ulterior motives, and they had bad intentions, would I let them come to me, or wait for them to spread the news before dealing with them?
This is the end of the world, not the peaceful era before. In such an era, you don’t even need a reason to kill people.
Just like my grandmother, she was killed by the psychic just because she disturbed his sleep while picking up firewood.
Huang Dashan and the others knew the news that could cost Pu Zhi's life. If they didn't get rid of it now, it would cause trouble in the future!
"Okay, but I may need a few days to plan." Zhang Xiaobai clenched his fists and reluctantly agreed.
Pu Zhi didn't respond to him, but instead asked, "Did your body have any reaction after using acid rain?"
He scratched his head sheepishly: "Except for losing some hair, I don't feel anything else."
Pu Zhi: "It's okay, try a few more times. It took me several days to awaken.
If you are unlucky and cannot awaken, I will lend you a weapon."
"Ah, Sister Pu Zhi, you have superpowers too! Why haven't I heard you mention it?" Zhang Xiaobai opened his eyes wide. He had always thought Pu Zhi was collecting crystal cores for Xiao Ren, but he didn't expect she would also need them...
Xiao Ren, who was sleeping in the living room, raised his eyelids as if by telepathy, glanced at Zhang Xiaobai, turned over, and faced him with his butt.
As for her special abilities, Pu Zhi would use them after entering the base, so she didn't intend to hide it from Zhang Xiaobai. "Yes, it's clairvoyance, an auxiliary ability, but it's not very useful."
When Zhang Xiaobai heard about the ability of clairvoyance, he was stunned for a moment, silently clamped his legs together, and calmly put his hands under his lower abdomen.
Pu Zhi: ...
"When I'm not using it, my vision is the same as a normal person's."
Zhang Xiaobai forced a smile and nodded, but his hands remained motionless.
"Huang Dashan is a selfish and voyeuristic person. Ever since I moved here, he has been watching everyone's every move, and it has become even worse since the end of the world.
When I first arrived, I thought it was Wang Xu and the others, and later I thought it was Li Tian or Song Xin, but they all left, and the sight hiding in the dark continued.
Moreover, after Song Xin left, he sneaked out several times in the middle of the night, most likely to look for her. The Flame Gang's presence here might have been his doing.
Back then, you and Guo Shi helped me plot against the Lieyan Gang and we received a lot of preferential treatment. He already felt resentful at that time, but he didn't express it openly. He just kept a closer eye on us than before.
As for his wife, she was one of the people we rescued in the supermarket. She has been lying in there the whole time, so you may not remember her.
Zhang Xiaobai was shocked to hear that Huang Dashan’s wife was the person he had rescued before, but it made sense for a single man and a single woman to be together in the end times.
But I didn’t expect that Huang Dashan had been monitoring everyone here.
"Guess why Huang Dashan is willing to save a helpless girl and provide her with good food and drink." Pu Zhi looked at Zhang Xiaobai with a strange smile in her eyes. I'm afraid the reason is not simple.
Zhang Xiaobai subconsciously shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"Tian Juanjuan used to have a good relationship with Li Tian, so why did she later refuse to open the door for him? Huang Dashan had a crush on Song Xin, so why didn't he open the door either?"
As Pu Zhi spoke, she couldn't help but tap the table with her fingers, making a rhythmic thudding sound that made Zhang Xiaobai swallow nervously.
"Because Huang Dashan was in Tian Juanjuan's room at the time, I don't need to say much about what they were doing."
Seeing Zhang Xiaobai being struck dead by the thunder, Pu Zhi continued to say with a smile: "Huang Dashan has been monitoring us and the surroundings. He knew that Li Tian would not come up for a while, so he entered Tian Juanjuan's room without fear.
Who knew that an accident would happen, zombies came, and Li Tian died.
Although Tian Juanjuan had an affair, she still had feelings for Li Tian. She didn't want to admit that she was the one who killed him, so she told herself over and over again that it was Song Xin who did it. In the end, she failed to take revenge and died.
Of course, this doesn't mean Huang Dashan is that bad. But do you know what kind of meat that smell of meat came from the building from time to time after they got married?
Zhang Xiaobai continued to shake his head. He already had the answer in his mind, but he didn't dare to say it.
