The old man and the others hurriedly rushed to the crib after pausing the meeting, only to find Ye Zhi asleep again.
However, her sleeping posture is quite heartbreaking.
Her little face was still wet with dew, her brows were furrowed, and her pale right hand was tightly clutching the clothes on her chest, as if she were having a nightmare and couldn't sleep well.
Song Yuanqing picked up Ye Zhi, patted her gently, and hummed a lullaby to lull her to sleep.
"Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock... woof."
As she hummed, Song Yuanqing finally couldn't help but cry. What was wrong with her little sweet bean? Even Ye Yubai, who had gone out with her, didn't know why Ye Zhi had become like this.
The faint sobs of Song Yuanqing made the faces of Old Master Song and Ye Jingyu even more bitter than bitter gourds.
Just as the two were about to comfort Song Yuanqing, they heard Ye Zhi's voice, "Mom?"
After Ye Zhi and System 001 formed a one-way binding, she heard Song Yuanqing crying.
As if electrocuted, Song Yuanqing quickly and gently placed Ye Zhi into Ye Jingyu's arms, then turned around, wiping away her tears as she said, "Mommy is fine. I'm sorry for waking you up. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
"I wasn't woken up, I woke up on my own." Ye Zhi could tell that Song Yuanqing didn't want her to see him crying.
She changed the subject, "Are we almost home? I'm hungry."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yubai went to the kitchen and brought out the sweet and sour pork that Ye Zhi had ordered. The sweet and sour pork was something that Old Master Song had asked him to make during the meeting.
Grandpa Lu's gaze swept past the zombies that were relentlessly chasing the RV and found a familiar landmark.
"Almost there, we'll be there in ten minutes."
Ye Zhi ate the sweet and sour pork, the outer skin of which had become a little soft, smacking her lips non-stop, "I'm fine, don't worry."
"Because I upgraded, I just slept for so long."
"I cried because I dreamt that a stinky dog stole my meat."
As time went by, Ye Zhi evolved from only being able to utter a few words to being able to speak a whole paragraph fluently.
Apart from the first sentence, Ye Zhi's next two sentences were not exactly lies.
After the Blue Star Bead was hung around her neck, Ye Zhi did indeed level up, and even skipped a level. Her level three mental ability instantly became level seven, and her other level four abilities became level six.
Ye Zhi reasonably suspected that the stinging pain in her mind when she first saw the Blue Star Fruit was a manifestation of her expanded mental power.
Otherwise, it would be really hard to explain why mental abilities could jump four levels in a row. The mental abilities that were originally the least advanced suddenly left the other abilities behind.
She cried because her flesh and blood were stolen by a stinky dog. Blue Star is her mother planet, and her flesh and blood are all given by Blue Star. Isn't she just Blue Star's flesh and blood? It's just that Ye Zhi reversed the subject and object.
"Stinky dog" is Ye Zhi's nickname for the enemy who made her the last bloodline of Blue Star.
The sudden appearance of the Blue Star Fruit made Ye Zhi willingly bind herself to System 001.
Ye Zhi unilaterally bound herself to System 001, which is equivalent to a master-servant contract in the cultivation world.
She is the master, and System 001 is the servant.
After speaking, Ye Zhi demonstrated her superpowers to everyone. Now that there were no outsiders present, Ye Zhi no longer needed to hide the fact that she was a multi-elemental superpower user, nor would she need to in the future.
The water balloon and lightning instantly wiped out the more than a thousand zombies following the RV on the left.
Those were no ordinary water or lightning bolts; they were water bolts three times larger than those thrown by Ye Jingyu, and lightning bolts three times thicker than those thrown by Song Yuanqing. They were water and lightning bolts thrown by a level six water and lightning ability user.
Everyone noticed that it was much quieter to their left, as the roars of zombies had ceased.
Immediately afterwards, the roars of the zombie on the right also stopped.
Ye Zhi's fireballs and hurricanes also wiped out more than a thousand zombies on the right.
Ye Zhi simply made two moves and eliminated about two thousand zombies in one go.
You should know that during the initial zombie horde in City A, which numbered over ten thousand, the six of them fought for a full three hours. When their superpowers were exhausted, they used firearms and ammunition; when their superpowers recovered, they used them again. They even had to consume over thirty zombie crystal cores, which were harmful to their bodies, to barely restore their superpowers. They relied almost entirely on firearms to hold out until the end.
In less than half a minute, Ye Zhi had eliminated more than two thousand zombies.
Goodness, if the Sweet Bean from back then were the Sweet Bean of today, she could wipe out the terrifying zombie horde in less than three minutes with just ten moves.
No, it might only be a minute. Looking at the white expanse around him and the water splashing up by the rapidly spinning wheels of the RV, Grandpa Song overturned his previous guess.
The water splashes were caused by Ye Zhi's fire-based ability melting the snow on the ground. After the snow several meters deep under the RV melted into water, the field of vision for everyone inside the RV changed.
Moreover, their RV had to be rerouted because the poor, cramped RV was trapped in an icy prison.
The surrounding snow was higher than the RV.
Modern motorhomes are like frogs at the bottom of a well, only able to see a small section of the sky outside.
"Holy crap, what's going on?!" Lu Ke, in the driver's seat, was on the verge of tears, letting out a terrified roar.
Who could understand? He was driving along when he saw zombies constantly rushing towards him from both sides of the car being killed. He was just feeling happy when suddenly the snow under and around the car melted completely. Even with the accelerator floored, he couldn't save the car from the tragedy of getting stuck in the mud.
Damn, this snow has been falling for almost half a month, and the snow is so deep!
He's the kind of guy who, even if ten Lu Kes fell in, wouldn't be able to climb out!
Shouldn't he be grateful for that fireball that just now, which evaporated some of the people? Otherwise, they would all be stuck in winter swimming!
The little voice yelled into the driver's seat, "No need to change course."
Then several more large fireballs headed towards the front of the RV. Why change the route? Changing the route means taking a detour, and taking a detour means getting home late.
All she wants to do right now is lie in bed at home and think about her future plans.
The intense heat of the fireballs baked the snow in front of them, causing the snow to melt rapidly into water, which was then evaporated by the fireballs.
Not only was the water in front evaporated, but the water that had accumulated under the RV was also completely evaporated.
The water vapor was very hot, and Ye Zhi's wind-type ability transformed into a gale, which dispersed the water vapor.
"Grandpa Lu, go for it!" Ye Zhi's cheers, along with the fireballs and gale-force winds clearing the way ahead, allowed the group to once again drive smoothly toward the Ye family villa.
"Brother Chen, look! There's a huge mist up ahead!" At this moment, the group of people outside the Ye family villa were drawn to the mist created by Ye Zhi.
