An Nuan was even happier than Luo Luo.
In her previous life, it was the third year of the apocalypse before Luo Luo could use plants other than vines and thorns. Now she could even use straw, which proved her evolution was accelerating!
“Sister Nuan, hurry and come in.”
Chang Kaitong led the way. After everyone had entered, he used scrap materials to block the door.
However, some gaps were left around the edges, with discarded sewer pipes leading outside to draw in air.
The temperature inside the cave was higher than outside, but it was still very cold and dark.
An Nuan took out the Godly Lamp, and the room instantly lit up.
Then she added some warm tones with ambient lighting, which made her feel much more comfortable.
Chang Kaitong fashioned a simple table. An Nuan found a rechargeable electric blanket and spread it underneath, covered it with a woolen blanket, then placed the table on top. She draped a large down quilt over the outside of the table and placed a heater underneath.
Several people took off their parkas, stuck their legs underneath, and felt warmth all over.
“Judging by the noise, we won’t be able to get out for a while. What do you guys want to eat?”
“Spicy strips!”
“Curry rice!”
“Do we have any greens? I want something refreshing.”
Juanzi: Cat treats, cat treats.
Daizi: Dried fish, dried fish.
Chen Wenjing smiled and said, “These two big cats want dried fish and cat treats.”
“You know? By the way, what exactly is your superpower?”
Luo Luo was very curious, but out of politeness, she first introduced the abilities of the four people and two cats to Chen Wenjing.
Chen Wenjing did not hold back.
“I can hear people’s true thoughts, and I also become very fast when running. Just now, when I killed their entire family, I just walked over, but it was about the same speed as a hundred-meter sprint race.”
Luo Luo asked doubtfully, “What kind of superpower is that?”
“Dual abilities.”
An Nuan said, “Telepathy combined with teleportation. Chen Wenjing has two superpowers.”
Everyone was overjoyed. Hai Changfeng put an arm around his neck: “Good heavens, you’re amazing!”
【So envious, I wish I had dual abilities too! And telepathy, if I had that power, what kind of male god couldn’t I conquer】
【Little brother is so amazing, I need to work harder to improve my abilities too, I can’t be left behind!】
Chen Wenjing had expected that people would find him disgusting after learning he could read minds.
But he was completely mistaken.
Not only did they not dislike him, but they also welcomed him.
Chen Wenjing’s pale cheeks flushed slightly.
“Thank you all.”
“What for! Little brother, you’re so capable, you’ll surely achieve great things in the future! Just remember to look out for this old brother; I’m a support, with no offensive capabilities!”
While they were chatting, An Nuan took out the vegetables she had stored from her space.
They were pre-made dishes bought from restaurants and stored in her space, still warm.
She also took out an extra portion of braised pork and a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup.
In the dead of winter, how could there be no meat and soup?
An Nuan portioned out the food. Everyone was ready to eat, but Chen Wenjing had not touched his chopsticks.
“You must be very hungry, right? Why aren’t you eating?”
“Um… An Nuan, can I really eat this?”
Chen Wenjing hugged his sister, looking at the food in disbelief.
When he was trapped in the snow, even a single biscuit felt like a luxury.
Rice, curry, braised pork – he couldn't even dream of them!
An Nuan scooped a large spoonful of meat and soup for him with her spoon and placed it over his rice.
“Eat.”
Chen Wenjing’s nose felt sore, and he began to eat ravenously with his sister.
Seeing them eat happily, the others also felt happy, and their appetites improved.
Hai Changfeng and Chang Kaitong both ate two bowls of rice.
After they were full, they sealed the leftovers in plastic bags and put them aside. Luo Luo took out three crystals from her pocket.
“We killed forty-six zombies today and got three crystals. The purity doesn’t seem very good. Should we hand them over to Hei Yan?”
“Indeed, the purity is insufficient. Hei Yan probably wouldn’t be interested in these. Let’s divide them.”
An Nuan gave one crystal to Chang Kaitong, one to Luo Luo, and the remaining one to Hai Changfeng.
Hai Changfeng hesitated, “I’m just a support. Isn’t it a waste to give it to me? You should eat it.”
“You haven’t advanced yet. Who knows what you’ll be like in the future. I’m almost at second tier. Next time I find two with higher purity, I should be able to advance smoothly. This one’s purity isn’t enough; eating it would be a waste.”
As for Chen Wenjing and his sister, their condition was unstable, and it was not suitable for them to consume crystals.
Letting him watch and learn was the best method.
Hai Changfeng followed An Nuan’s arrangement and swallowed the crystal.
Something stirred in his mind, its form gradually changing, differentiating, dissolving, and reorganizing.
After a series of changes in his consciousness, Hai Changfeng opened his eyes, sweating profusely.
Although he had expended a lot of energy, he felt an exhilarating sensation.
“Oh my god, this thing is addictive!”
A faint light emanated from Hai Changfeng’s chest.
An Nuan was not surprised.
Everyone’s manifestation of upgrading was different, and she had seen this sign before.
This indicated that Hai Changfeng had successfully reached the first tier.
It seemed that although the crystal’s purity was not top-notch, it was very suitable for Hai Changfeng.
Chang Kaitong let out a low, smug hum.
An Nuan was surprised: “You advanced to second tier?”
“Hehe, I think so!”
With each tier advancement, abilities would double or change form.
Chang Kaitong was likely the first ability user to reach second tier in this life.
With his current abilities, An Nuan was wary of him.
“Good heavens! Extra portion tonight, a chicken drumstick as a reward for you!”
“No need, I’m happy as long as I can help Sister Nuan.”
A little starlight emanated from Luo Luo’s chest. She opened her eyes with a hint of regret: “Little Nuan, I didn’t upgrade successfully. It seems I’m just a tiny bit short.”
“It’s okay. Except for Xiao Tong, we are all first tier. That’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
“But I have a new ability. Let me show you.”
A few small flowers floated from Luo Luo’s fingertips and flew out through the pipes.
On the petals of a large flower in her hand, the situation outside appeared.
“Peeping! My support ability has improved!”
“Sister Luo, you’re so amazing! With this ability, we can now observe the movement of zombies on a large scale. I suddenly feel so safe!”
Luo Luo felt a little shy at her brother’s praise.
“It seems I can only peek within a thousand meters, and I can only release ten small flowers at a time. I still need to continue improving my ability!”
Everyone looked at Hai Changfeng.
They knew he was first tier, but they didn’t know if there were any changes.
Hai Changfeng flicked his own flesh with his finger, and a small ball of light floated out from his arm like a dandelion.
The ball of light entered Chen Wenjing’s body, and he shivered twice.
His condition visibly improved!
“It seems I can draw out my healing energy from my body and share it with everyone. We won’t have to cut ourselves for blood anymore.”
An Nuan’s small team had fully upgraded. Amidst their excitement, she suddenly thought of Hei Yan.
She didn’t know what Hei Yan was up to lately. Was he also busy upgrading?
