Chapter 31 My name is Kunwu Yecheng
An indescribable heavy atmosphere spread around Wu Chuci and the others.
Although their lives had been somewhat turbulent and unpleasant, they had never witnessed such an inhumane thing.
I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions.
When he returned to Shanran's side, he told her what he had seen there.
Shan Ran paused for a moment before saying, "The evil in human nature will be amplified in the end times. We must first become strong ourselves before we have the capacity to save those people."
The three nodded emphatically, but Wendy, besides nodding, seemed somewhat absent-minded.
The officials sent a few people to take the survivors away, and then the tall man from before came to Shan Ran's side.
He could tell that the woman standing at the front with a powerful aura was the leader among the five.
"Hello, my name is Kunwu Yecheng, and I am the captain of the Kunwu Squad."
"My name is Shan Ran. What can I do for you?"
Kunwu Yecheng replied in a low voice, "A few days ago we received information that a group of people were being held captive here, and that there were dangerous individuals among them. So today our team has come to rescue the hostages..."
Shanran nodded. "And then we were late."
Kunwu Yecheng: ......
"When we arrived, we saw those people trying to escape, so we apprehended them all..."
Shan Ran tilted her head, then feigned an innocent look, "So, should I thank you?"
Kunwu Yecheng: ......
The man remained silent, his lips moving slightly as if he had a string of words stuck in his throat, unsure how to organize them.
Finally, he decided to get straight to the point, "These supplies..."
Shan Ran immediately changed her demeanor and said righteously, "Captain Kunwu Yecheng, I am very grateful for the contributions you and your team have made to the friendly citizens."
but!
These supplies were obtained by us, and the people we risked our lives to kill were ours to kill. You say you arrived late, but do you really think you could have accomplished all this if you had arrived earlier? We will reap the fruits of our victory ourselves; no one else can interfere!
Kunwu Yecheng rubbed his fingers together, a subconscious action he would do when he was at a loss.
He was usually quiet and not good with words; he was good at doing things but not at speaking. When he met this girl, he could hardly even finish a sentence.
He could tell at first that the girl was pretending to be well-behaved, but he didn't expect that when the topic of supplies came up, she would become like an angry kitten, her fur standing on end, glaring at him with a huff.
So cute...
Suppressing his inexplicable thoughts, Kunwu Yecheng said with a stern face, "Miss, I think you've misunderstood. These supplies were found by you and your companions, and they rightfully belong to you."
Upon hearing this, Shan Ran's tense shoulders immediately relaxed.
Having just gone through a fierce battle, she was not confident in seizing supplies from this group of well-equipped and fully armed people.
Seeing that the girl had relaxed a bit, Kunwu Yecheng felt a strange urge to laugh. He lowered his eyes and coughed lightly: "What I was trying to say was that these supplies are quite difficult to move, and this is the third floor. Do you need my help?"
Shanran looked at the other person suspiciously, "Help?"
Kunwu nodded.
Just then, a head popped out from behind him.
"Our captain has spatial abilities. This beautiful young lady can help you move all your things."
Shan Ran:......
Rhein was somewhat displeased.
However, that person was completely unaware of Rhine's displeasure.
He emerged from behind Kunwu Yecheng and extended his hand to Shanran, "Hello, little sister, my name is Chu Liuxing, and I'm a member of the Kunwu team!"
He was much smaller than Kunwu Yecheng, about 175 cm tall, with delicate features and squinting eyes when he smiled, making him very endearing.
Shan Ran politely shook hands with him.
Then he took out two objects, each slightly larger than a fist, from somewhere and handed them to Shanran.
"Here, this is the fruit I reaped myself."
Shan Ran was stunned. "You... you got married yourself?"
Chu Liuxing handed the fruit to Shan Ran, then scratched his head sheepishly, "Yes, my plant-based ability is that of a coconut tree, which can produce coconuts, but at my current level, I can only produce three coconuts of this size per day."
Now it was Shan Ran's turn to feel a little embarrassed. "Three? So you gave me two."
Chu Liuxing quickly waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing. You guys worked hard. You took down so many people on the other side. You're really amazing. I admire amazing people. You can keep it!"
Before Chu Liuxing could say anything more, Kunwu Yecheng grabbed him by the back of the collar and dragged him away.
Kunwu Yecheng said expressionlessly, "I still have spare space in my room. If you trust me, you can give it to me."
These are government officials. If they dare to take her things, she'll go straight to their doorstep and complain.
She remembered that the district chief in the book was a nice person.
So Shanran nodded.
"Oh right, I don't want the refrigerator, sofa, bed, or any of these furniture and appliances. You can take them with you, but please put the rest away for me."
This was the first time Shanran had ever seen how things were stored in a space.
With a "whoosh," everything was gone.
Shanran, Wendy, and the others stared wide-eyed, looking on with great curiosity.
Shan Ran pursed her lips, hearing the longing in her heart.
That's so convenient.
I want it so badly...
Rhine, who was standing next to Shanran, noticed that Shanran's eyes were shining with excitement.
He knew that this time Shan Ran was genuinely interested in that man's superpowers.
Feeling a pang of bitterness, he gave a wry smile and pinched his palm with his fingernails to remind himself of the promise he had made to Ranran.
Kunwu Yecheng, who was on the other side, did not notice the commotion of the group. After he had put everything away, he turned to look at Shanran.
"We still need to take care of some things here. Are you waiting for me to leave together, or can you tell me your address and I'll come over later?"
Shan Ran thought for a moment and replied, "It's okay, you guys take care of your business. We'll shop around in the mall for a bit more, and come find me when you're done."
Kunwu Yecheng nodded and took out his phone. "Let's add each other's contact information so I don't lose track of you later."
Shan Ran also took out her phone, and the two added each other as friends.
After that, Shan Ran led the others away from the spot.
Wu Chuci sent a message to Wu Chuyu to come over, and the group waited for her in the clothing section on the first floor.
Now there's an official team at the mall, so they're very safe, and we don't need to keep an eye on our cars anymore.
When we arrived at the clothing section, the pile of broken bones was still lying on the ground.
Wu Chuci took the photos and uploaded them to a dedicated post-apocalyptic forum.
This forum is newly built and is accessible across all three continents. It's dedicated to exchanging information related to the apocalypse, and includes a section for monsters.
Not all monsters can be detected by the authorities in time.
Some people upload information about newly discovered monsters, while others share the weaknesses of certain monsters, which benefits humanity. This way, when encountering the same monster again, everyone will know how to attack most efficiently.
There is currently no information about the Skeleton Nightmare. Wu Chuci uploaded pictures and edited text to describe in detail the form, characteristics, weaknesses, etc. of this Nightmare, to warn others to be careful.
When faced with a monster, most people will still share a common hatred and hatred.
The method Shan Ran used to deal with the broken bones is working for now, but once the water on the ground dries up and the paulownia catkins are blown away, who knows what disgusting shape these broken bones will form.
"I'm here! I'm here!" Wu Chuyu called out as she ran over from afar, "It's finally time for me to come in handy! Where are those things?!"
Wu Chuci pointed to the ground and briefly explained what had just happened.
Wu Chuyu's expression was unusually excited. "What? It can assemble itself? Then I think I can have them assemble a house of bones, right?"
Everyone: ......
Broken bones: ? ? ? ?
"How do they work? It's amazing! If we could figure it out, wouldn't we be able to make a perpetual motion machine? We could not only build a small house with bones, but also build many other things behind it. Maybe we could even carry materials to do work, and it would work 24 hours a day. We could even work while we sleep. How efficient would that be!"
Shattered Bones: Who will speak up for us?
Wu Chuci gave her younger sister a sharp rap on the head. "That's enough. Put away all those weird ideas in your head. Set them on fire and burn them all down."
"Ah?~~" Wu Chuyu's voice trailed off gently, with a hint of reluctance. "I'm really curious. Can't I take some home to study?"
Wu Chuci laughed angrily, "Take it home? You want to scare everyone else to death, don't you? Stop talking nonsense, or Boss Shan will yell at you and tell you to burn it!"
Wu Chuyu quickly glanced at Shan Ran, only to see that her beloved Boss Shan was indeed looking at her with an indescribable expression.
So Wu Chuyu chuckled twice and obediently set the fire.
Broken Bones: This is wonderful! I've never wanted to see fire so much. Come on, burn me to death...
The fire ability can deal with skeletons, but burning them all to ashes still takes quite a bit of effort.
Finally, the last bit of bone fragments were burned to ashes. More than three hours had passed, during which Wu Chuyu also swallowed two crystal cores.
Although the limit for each person is three crystal cores per day, there is usually some leeway to avoid any unexpected situations where more crystal cores need to be consumed later.
"Phew... I'm so tired, so tired..." Wu Chuyu placed a piece of clothing that had fallen off the skeleton on the ground and sat down on it, wishing she could just collapse into a ball.
When Wu Chuyu lit the fire, the group cleared out most of the noisy night bats around them. They were also a bit tired from using their powers one after another, so they each found a relatively clean place to rest.
Wendy sat with her back to everyone, hugging her knees and resting her chin on them.
The apocalypse has been here for so long, but only today has she truly come to understand how cruel this world is.
Everything she had just seen spun around in front of her. Whether it was being inferior to Lang Jian, who was also from the Jin family, or the pitiful people in the cramped little house, it all made her feel very sad.
She felt a surge of self-reproach and guilt.
I feel so useless. I wish I could be more capable...
Just then, someone sat down next to me.
