"Will there be esper users in this world in the future?"
The system's voice was filled with helplessness: "Host, without spacetime rifts and karmic retribution, this would be a world dominated by science. The R virus would only harm people, not save them, nor would it cause humans to mutate."
Zhuo Nian was speechless and said, "Just say no directly, no need for so many explanations."
The system promptly disappeared.
No esper users.
Nuclear explosions, aliens, viruses.
After weighing the options, Zhuo Nian felt that if she wanted to save people, running around herself would be useless. Moreover, if she were too special, she would attract attention, leading to endless trouble.
Instead of tiring herself out, it was better to find a few people who were more exhausted than her.
As for the candidates.
She glanced at the people behind her in the rearview mirror. These chosen male and female protagonists were there to be used.
She remembered that in the original plot, Lin Wan obtained a jade token when she saved Grandpa Jin. This token was still with the original owner, but unfortunately, Lin Wan had amnesia and hadn't remembered it.
She summoned...
Aliens were everywhere, viruses were spreading, and the apocalypse had arrived.
Her good friend used that jade token to store many things and could even produce fresh fruits, vegetables, and spirit spring water, saving many people. She, on the other hand, could only live a life of hunger.
That jealousy and unwillingness made Lin Wan wake up from her sleep. Jin Wen Ye looked at her with concern, "Wan Wan, what's wrong?"
Lin Wan took a few deep breaths. The scene in her dream was too real; she felt as if she were still dreaming.
She remembered that she had saved Jin Wen Ye's grandfather.
The token of proof had been taken by her best friend.
She had taken her identity, becoming the adopted daughter of the Jin family.
And she, in the orphanage, couldn't get enough to eat, was poorly clothed, and almost couldn't even go to college. After working hard to earn her way through college and finding someone she liked, she kept interfering.
Trying to harm their child.
Lin Wan looked at the person in the front row with a hint of hatred in her eyes.
"Wan Wan, Wan Wan?"
Lin Wan finally came back to her senses, concealing the emotions in her eyes, and leaned against Jin Wen Ye, her voice delicate, "A Ye, I'm fine."
Of course, she was fine.
What happened in her dream might have been a premonition. That jade token would indeed become a space.
She had to get it back.
It was hers originally, she had stolen it, and she had lived a good life with stolen goods for so many years. She should have returned it long ago.
"Brother," Zhuo Nian irritably honked the horn and said, "Help me get the water from my bag."
Although Jin Wen Ye was annoyed with her, with his grandfather sitting beside him, he could only turn around irritably to get Zhuo Nian's bag. While searching, something fell into Lin Wan's lap.
Lin Wan instinctively grabbed it.
It was the jade token.
She was instantly overjoyed, clutching the token tightly in her hand. She subconsciously glanced forward. Zhuo Nian was looking straight ahead, seemingly unaware.
She let out a sigh of relief and put the jade token into her own bag. She remembered from her dream that the jade token bonded with blood. As soon as she had a chance, she would drip her blood on it and activate the space.
Thinking of this, Lin Wan's mood improved significantly. She imagined the future where she would have so much food, could save many people, and become the center of attention, and she couldn't help but feel excited.
As for the person in front.
She thought that if the other party stopped targeting her, she wouldn't do anything to her, and would just treat her as Jin Wen Ye's sister and raise her well.
Jin Wen Ye handed the water to Zhuo Nian. Zhuo Nian took a few sips and casually placed it beside her, looking at the stagnant traffic ahead. She said, "It seems we can't go any further. Let's get out and find a city nearby to stay in until the authorities announce that we can leave."
"What about the car? Just leave it here?"
"What else?" Zhuo Nian retorted, "Are you going to carry it?"
Jin Wen Ye: "..."
Grandpa Jin couldn't help but laugh as he listened to their bickering.
Lin Wan was still immersed in excitement and anticipation and didn't pay much attention to the two of them.
They carried everything they could, especially food. Even Lin Wan, who was pregnant, carried a bag. Then they walked forward together, preparing to meet up with the Shen family.
On the other side, the Shen family took out all their belongings, their eyes shining as they looked at Shen Qian. Shen Qian tried to activate his ability again, and indeed, a pile of things disappeared.
There weren't many esper users created by Zhuo Nian; they were all meant to cover for Lin Wan. If she were smart enough, she should know the saying "an innocent man is guilty when he possesses a treasure."
Initially, she had wanted Shen Chongyan to have this ability, but then she thought that if he had it, she couldn't just watch him cultivate alone in the space; she would have to help too. So she immediately abandoned the idea.
He could be the center of attention without the space, and the effect would be more direct.
Thus, Shen Chongyan obtained a sword.
"This is really great. We can buy more food when we get to the city, and then we won't have to worry about food."
Shen Qian was so happy he couldn't close his mouth. He felt like he was incredibly lucky. When they were preparing to pack up and get out of the car just now, there was too much stuff. He just wished he could compress all these things into a certain place.
Then the things really disappeared, and at the same time, he saw these things in his mind.
While the Shen family was surprised, they quickly closed the car door and activated the privacy mode.
After trying a few times, Shen Qian confirmed that he had gained a special ability. He had a space in his mind where he could store things.
Shen Chongyan heard his description and felt a sword in his mind.
But he couldn't take it out now, and he didn't know if it was his imagination, so he didn't tell his family.
With excited hearts, they took everything they could from the car. To avoid suspicion, everyone carried a bag. After tidying up, they also planned to abandon the car and go to a nearby city.
