Chapter 120 So Hated I Want to Kill Them
Gano's skin was naturally very fair, which contrasted sharply with the black scales, making her appear even more dazzlingly white.
Even after a month of arduous exile on a bus, his skin tone remained unchanged; on the contrary, Shan Ran's originally fair skin became much rougher.
The difference between people with superpowers and ordinary people is not only reflected in their superpowers, but in every aspect.
After his lower body transformed into a snake's tail, Gano grew even taller, becoming taller than Captain Kunwu, whom he had seen during the day.
Shan Ran slowly looked him up and down, her eyes unconsciously overflowing with amazement.
His waist was almost parallel to Shan Ran's, and the prominent blue veins on it were clearly visible.
Gano hadn't expected that his snake tail would grow so tall. He looked down and saw the top of Shan Ran's hair.
Her face was pressed against his waist, examining the texture of his skin at the point of contact. They were so close that he could feel her warm breath spraying onto the base of his tail.
His tail, which had been circling around Shan Ran's calf, froze and stopped trembling. He stood straight against her warm calf, like a beautiful leg ring.
Shan Ran didn't notice the movement of his tail; her attention was entirely on the snake's tail in front of her.
Watching wasn't enough; she couldn't help but reach forward, slowly moving her hand down her skin, feeling the changes from her body to her snake tail.
The moment her hand touched it, the muscles tensed, and the scales almost burst open. Something wanted to crawl out from the scales, but Gano held back.
He worried that the sharp scales would scratch her hands. She was just an ordinary person, and even though her hands were now covered in thick calluses and her fingers were no longer as delicate as before, she would still get scratched.
Gano slowly clenched his fist, the veins on the back of his hand bulging, trying his best to control his body. He was now in half-beast form and had to avoid any actions that might harm his senior.
The hand gently caressed the joint, tracing its contours a few times. There was a perfect fit, with no hint of disharmony. From the lean waist to the sharp scales, there was no transition, yet it didn't feel abrupt at all.
It's as if snake tails were naturally meant to grow here.
Shanran was extremely curious; it was the first time she had ever touched a snake, and also the first time she had ever seen such a large snake tail.
The temperature of the scales under her hands was gradually rising, and the originally cold touch was now warm.
The snake's body temperature is rising.
The already taut muscles became even more tense, and the previously fine veins became prominent, spreading throughout the entire body.
Gano tried to control himself, but he still couldn't stop trembling.
Feeling the scales tremble beneath her hands, Shan Ran looked up and met the gaze of Gano, who was looking down.
She saw the redness at the corners of Gano's eyes, and she also saw his pupils, which were vertically aligned.
A faint red light flashed deep within the pupil.
Afraid that Shan Ran would see her losing her composure, Ganuo turned her head away, revealing her ears, which were already bright red.
Shan Ran then realized that if her hands were resting on her legs instead...
She quickly withdrew her hand, took a step back, and coughed lightly: "I see clearly, you can change it back."
As she was about to turn around again, she overlooked the tip of the tail wrapped around her leg and stumbled.
After his legs transformed into a snake tail, Gano's body became exceptionally agile. He suddenly leaned forward, and Shan Ran's body had barely tilted to the side when he caught her.
He put his arm around Shanran's shoulder, but as soon as she regained her balance, he immediately withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
The sensation of being stroked on his waist and abdomen was still there, and now he dared not have any contact with Shan Ran at all.
He's about to be unable to hide it any longer.
Once Shanran had regained her footing, the tip of her tail disappeared immediately, and a rustling sound came from behind her.
She waited for Gano to put on his pants, but Gano just hurriedly said, "I'm going upstairs first," and turned to leave.
Shan Ran turned around and only saw Ganuo's back as he hurried upstairs.
From that day on, Shanran and Ganuo slept in separate rooms.
She could safely bring back supplies from outside to store, and her neighbor Rhine would often invite them over for meals.
Now that the ocean is closed to navigation, the Rhine cannot return to the second continent, so it will remain here permanently.
After a period of intensive investigation, Rhine has found the murderer who killed his parents, but he has been unable to take revenge for a long time.
Because one of the team members has the ability of "premonition of death," which allows them to escape in advance when they sense deadly danger.
This is a group of vicious and cruel individuals. They were originally outlaws from District 5 who fled to District 1 after gaining superpowers, killing many innocent civilians along the way, including Rhine's parents.
After arriving in District 1, their atrocities intensified, and they recruited several like-minded individuals to form an organization.
This organization is small, but its members are extremely ruthless and possess considerable supernatural abilities, making it very troublesome.
Rhine went to great lengths to seek revenge, sustaining numerous injuries, including one near-fatal wound.
It was on that occasion that Rhine almost wiped out the entire organization, but he was seriously injured and the core members who stopped him fled in disarray and never returned.
After stumbling back to the villa area, Rhine fainted before even entering her home.
Shan Ran and Gano happened to find him, and the two of them carried him inside together, then called Ennia for help.
For a period of time afterward, the group took turns caring for Rhine. He was in good physical condition and recovered completely in less than five days.
Rhine expressed his deep gratitude, saying that once the air route is opened, he will definitely have his family send a lot of supplies to thank them.
Rhine wasn't a local, and the Lawrence family wasn't deeply rooted in the Third Continent, so they had limited manpower to help. Plus, the other party was very cunning, and who knew when they would be found again after that escape.
"But now that we know what they look like and what their abilities are, there will be a day when we can catch them."
When Rhine said this, his expression was solemn and resolute.
He found the surveillance footage that captured the faces of those people. Shanran had also seen it and said that she would keep an eye out for them and would inform him promptly if there was any news.
"Thank you." Rhine looked into Shanran's eyes and sincerely thanked her.
"You're welcome. We're all neighbors, so I'll definitely help Xiao Wu if he needs anything."
Upon hearing Shan Ran's words, Rhine lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes obscuring her pupils and concealing the ambiguity within.
He wanted to ask her if it was just because of the neighbors?
However, his upbringing prevented him from directly asking a lady such a question; it would be too aggressive and ungentlemanly.
Shan Ran didn't notice Rhine's expression, but Gano, who was standing nearby, did.
[Everyone around my sister is after her.]
【Um. 】
Aren't you jealous?
[This senior is outstanding. She doesn't have any special abilities, yet she's so capable. It's normal for people to like her.]
[Ha, stop pretending. I'm your brother, but I'm also you. I can see the jealousy in your heart, like a swamp, about to swallow you whole.]
【。】
[Can't argue with that? Actually, you hate them too, right? Hate them so much you want to kill them, right?]
I can't kill people randomly, my senior will hate me.
[You're such a good boy, you truly are my wonderful little brother.]
But I really hate them, I hate them so much...
Although the villa area is in a good location, it still experiences a monster horde attack on average every two days.
Shan Ran, Gano, Wu Chuyu, Rhine, and others will work together to resist the beast tide.
Over time, they developed a better understanding of each other.
During this time, some people also wanted to join them.
Shan Ran rejected most of them. After going through this period of ups and downs, she became more and more accurate in judging people.
Many of them had ulterior motives; some wanted to slack off and follow them around, while others coveted their supplies, hoping to build a good relationship and then ask them for them later.
There was a nice neighbor named Wendy, who seemed like a good person. However, the day after Shanran agreed to let her join, her mother-in-law came over and, taking advantage of her daughter-in-law being a highly aggressive metal-type ability user, made some bizarre demands.
For example, to protect her son who doesn't have superpowers, they should be given more supplies during distribution, etc.
Shan Ran was shocked; she hadn't expected anyone to be so shameless. She recognized the voice as belonging to the voice-based ability user who had spread rumors about the Kunwu team.
She naturally disagreed, and the deal with Wendy fell through.
After that, she would occasionally keep an eye on Wendy's situation. Because she was living in her husband's house, she was constantly being brainwashed and exploited. Every day she worked hard to go out, and when she got back she still had to take care of that mother and child.
Wendy has now completely lost the will to resist.
Shan Ran was already preoccupied with her own affairs, so of course she wouldn't meddle in other people's business, and she rarely paid attention to that side afterward.
When there are no monsters around, in addition to going out to find supplies, they also try to strengthen their defenses.
The house was patched up here and there, and although it looked terrible on the outside, it was much more defensive than before.
Two months later, the safe zone was officially established.
Kunwuye sent a message asking if Shanran wanted to go to the safe zone, and that he would arrange a suitable position for her.
"Thank you, Captain Kunwu. May I come with my junior and my neighbors?"
The reply came after a while: "Junior? Of course, is the neighbor the red-haired woman you were with last time?"
"Yes, Xiao Wu and her friends, and one of them is my next-door neighbor. He won't stay long; he'll go back to the Second Continent once Hainan Airlines opens."
"Okay, welcome."
A few days ago, Shanran also saw the news about the safe zone online, and after studying it in detail, she has a preliminary understanding of its structure.
Gano, Rhine, and Wuchuyu will definitely be able to enter the inner city. Although Ennia's level is not high, the demand for healing is huge, so she should be able to go in with them as well.
But she........
There were practically no ordinary people in the inner city.
"Senior, no matter where you're assigned, I'll follow you."
Gano noticed Shanran's expression, gently hooked her fingers together and squeezed them, expressing his determination.
