An Nuan was stunned.
It was her hatred from her past life that fueled her desire for revenge against An Dong.
But there were these other things?
[An Dong, in order to gain control of the group's shares, caused the car accident that killed your parents five years ago.]
[After your parents passed away, he added something to the tonics he gave the old lady every week. A slow-acting poison, to kill your grandmother, his own mother.]
An Nuan stared blankly at the screen.
She had always thought her parents had just been unlucky, meeting a drunk driver.
Her grandmother was old, and grieving the loss of her son. She couldn't bear the shock, her health gradually declined, and she eventually withered away.
An Nuan had always believed that was the case.
But…
"Heh heh, it was An Dong! Dr. Zhou was bought off too, right? That's why he always hid my grandmother's condition from me."
[Correct]
Dr. Zhou's bank account appeared on the screen.
It was a sum of money that a doctor couldn't earn in a lifetime.
An Nuan fiercely pinched her thigh, her nails digging into her flesh.
Before, she had even acted spoiled towards An Dong, expressing her gratitude to her uncle.
She never imagined that it was An Dong who had done it. She had been grateful to the killer of her parents!
An Nuan slapped herself hard twice.
Luoluo quickly intervened, "Xiao Nuan, don't be impulsive. What he's saying might not be true."
[You can go and confirm it yourself. An Dong is on the top floor of the Anxin Building.]
[Eat the crystal, awaken to a Tier 2 ability user.]
After the other party finished speaking, the screen went black.
An Nuan's hand trembled as she held the crystal, still hesitating.
The screen suddenly lit up again.
This time, there was only one line of text: [Get dressed, or I'll crush this kid's head!]
After the text flashed, the screen went completely black.
Chang Kaitong was confused.
"Sis, is he your boyfriend?"
"No."
Would a boyfriend order his girlfriend to kill zombies?
Chang Kaitong was even more perplexed.
"Then why would he crush my head?"
I'm not the one he's looking at, nor is she his girlfriend!
Chang Kaitong didn't voice the latter half of his thought, his face flushing as he lowered his head to look at An Nuan.
"Sis, what do we do now? Eat it?"
"Eat."
In her previous life, An Nuan had awakened her ability in December.
By then, many people had already awakened theirs. While the power of an ability didn't necessarily correlate with the awakening time, the earlier one awakened, the more potential there was to explore its extensions.
An Nuan hadn't seized the initiative. As a normal human, she was bullied by her companions. After awakening her ability, she was used as cannon fodder by ability users.
Later, even after awakening, her ability was so weak that she was assigned to the worst group.
It wasn't until the fourth year of the apocalypse that she consumed her fourth crystal and slightly improved its performance.
This time, someone had delivered the crystal to her. It would be a waste not to eat it.
An Nuan divided the crystal into three portions, taking out one piece from Xiao Hua's brain and specifically giving it to Chang Kaitong.
Luoluo couldn't bring herself to eat the things.
After all, they were taken from zombie brains. Even if there was no brain matter left on the surface, it was still revolting.
Chang Kaitong also found it difficult to swallow, "This is from Xiao Hua's brain. Do we really have to eat it?"
"Just think of it as raw lamb kidneys with blood. Gulp it down in one go."
The two exchanged glances.
Let alone raw lamb kidneys with blood, even cooked ones, they might not be able to eat them.
An Nuan picked up her three crystals and muttered into her palm.
"I want fire, I want fire, I want fire fire fire fire fire!"
An Nuan tilted her head back and swallowed all three crystals in one gulp.
Feeling them stuck in her throat, An Nuan drank a few more mouthfuls of milk to force the crystals down.
Seeing her eat, Chang Kaitong also closed his eyes and swallowed Xiao Hua's crystal.
Since the whole family ate, Luoluo had no choice but to eat as well.
After swallowing it, her stomach started to churn.
"Will the crystal poke through my stomach? Xiao Nuan, what's wrong with you?"
An Nuan's face was flushed, her head felt dizzy, and her body temperature was soaring towards fifty degrees Celsius.
A glowing orb of consciousness appeared in An Nuan's mind. In her blurred state, she reached out and grasped the orb. Something within her seemed to be awakening…
Having experienced the awakening in her previous life, An Nuan was remarkably calm this time and quickly merged with the crystal.
She could feel the power surging within her, both surging and intense.
An Nuan opened her eyes and clenched her fist, striking at the air.
The sculpture next to the TV cabinet was flattened into a thin copper sheet by her blow.
"Xiao Nuan, you're so amazing!"
"Sis, how did you do that?"
An Nuan: "???"
Why did they wake up so early?
Logically, she could wake up early because she had prior experience.
Luoluo and Chang Kaitong hadn't experienced the apocalypse, so why did they wake up even earlier than her?
"Are you two alright?"
"We're fine! I saw a big glowing orb and ate it in one go!" Luoluo smiled sweetly.
Chang Kaitong also said, "I saw it too, but I didn't eat it. The orb rushed into my body, and then the usage method appeared in my mind. Sis, let me show you!"
He flicked his fingers, and several small ornaments in the room floated in the air.
He then moved his fingers again, and both Luoluo and An Nuan were lifted off the ground.
Luoluo: "Xiao Tong is so amazing, you can change gravity!"
"It's not gravity, it's magnetism!"
"Ah? Magnetism?"
In her previous life, Chang Kaitong became an eighth-tier powerhouse for a significant reason: his ability was magnetism.
This ability, like lightning or magma, was inherently powerful, leaving others far behind.
Combined with later training and consuming crystals…
Tsk tsk, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was born with talent!
"Both living beings and objects actually possess magnetism. In the apocalypse, the world's magnetic field will become chaotic, and the effects of magnetism will be more pronounced. Xiao Tong isn't manipulating gravity, but magnetism. You'll understand later!"
"God, isn't that like Magneto? Xiao Tong, you're awesome!"
Chang Kaitong obediently let Luoluo ruffle his hair, feeling very happy.
"Then I'll work hard to become as strong as Magneto, and I'll be able to protect you all properly!"
"Ambitious! Sister likes you more and more! Nuan Nuan, look at mine."
Luoluo opened her palm, and a small wild daisy bloomed from her palm.
"My ability doesn't seem very useful, but I like it."
"Damn! You can grow plants? I shouldn't have hoarded so much."
"Heh heh, how much money's worth of plants did you hoard?"
"Over three hundred thousand. What a waste! Wouldn't it be better to exchange it for grain?"
An Nuan tossed a comic book called "Vine Woman" to Luoluo.
"The protagonist is like you, a plant. Study it well."
"So interesting! Xiao Nuan, what's your ability? Telekinesis?"
"Sis's ability must be very strong, she even flattened a bronze statue!"
An Nuan concentrated and channeled her ability along the energy fluctuations.
A black barrier emerged from her body, and wherever it passed, whether it was a coffee table or a cup, it was devoured.
An Nuan smiled, "My ability is Starry Sky Devour!"
