Chapter 318: Chapter 315: Master Doesn’t Love Me Anymore

Vice General Du, unaware of her plans, asked, "You’re not coming back with us?"

"That’s right! I’m leaving!"

"If you just leave like this, I won’t be able to explain it to Young Master Song!" Vice General Du said reluctantly, his handsome brow furrowed.

Chen Xing smiled. "He knows I’m leaving!" ’Song Yiguo is so clever,’ she thought.

Even here, though they hadn’t interacted much, they didn’t need many words to understand each other.

"Just take the Crystal Cores back. He won’t blame you!" After saying that, Chen Xing turned and walked away without looking back.

Vice General Du watched Chen Xing for a long time before calling Song Yiguo.

When he hung up, his voice was a little heavy. "Let’s head back."

As expected, Song Yiguo knew.

Soon, Chen Xing opened the black vortex.

She was a little worried. ’What if this vortex doesn’t lead back to the other side?’

’Or... what if there’s some danger inside?’

There was no way to be sure.

After calming her nerves, Chen Xing stepped into the black vortex.

The transition was still so smooth she felt nothing at all, and then she found herself in another vast, empty field.

At the same time, she could clearly sense her space and Meng Hu.

Her Green Gemstone Jewelry had also merged back into one piece upon entering this dimension.

A seemingly endless horde of zombies in the wilderness had surrounded her.

’With so many zombies, if I take them back to the factory district, won’t that solve our food problem for a while?’

Pleased with the thought, Chen Xing summoned Meng Hu, the little dinosaur monster, the little wolf cub, and over a hundred Little Black Cats.

Instead of charging directly into battle after emerging from the space, the little pets all rushed to Chen Xing to nuzzle against her.

Meng Hu, in particular, was so large and, banking on his long-standing bond with Chen Xing, rubbed against her so hard she could barely stay on her feet.

They all missed their master so much.

"What are you waiting for? Go kill!" Chen Xing yelled affectionately.

Meng Hu: "..." ’Master doesn’t love me anymore!’

With that, it charged into the zombie horde and began to tear them apart.

It was so ferocious that killing two zombies with a single swipe of its paw was nothing.

Soon, starting from the center, swathes of zombies began to fall.

Chen Xing had gotten ridiculously good at using her steel plates.

Their killing power was even greater than her electric currents.

In half a day, all the zombies in the wilderness were annihilated.

Chen Xing was also a bit tired, so she had her little pets collect the Crystal Cores while she found a clean spot, took out a beanbag chair, and flopped onto it.

Meng Hu had already dragged away the zombie corpses around her.

’This is great!’

If it weren’t for this recent ordeal, she would have never known how important these little creatures were to her.

Having them with her made her feel incredibly secure.

’Time for some milk tea!’

She found milk tea in her space, along with a whole mousse cake.

As she ate her cake and drank her milk tea, watching the sun slowly set, she felt like she was back in Tail City again, where everything was just so pleasant and carefree.

’From now on, no matter what, I can’t lose my Green Gemstone Jewelry again.’

Once the Crystal Cores were collected, Chen Xing entered her house space to rest right where she was.

Tonight, she wasn’t going anywhere.

She wanted to enjoy some long-overdue solitude and the atmosphere of her house space.

’I don’t really feel like cooking... Hot pot it is!’

She pulled out frozen beef slices, large shrimp, shrimp paste, osmanthus sausage... tofu skin, luncheon meat, tripe... The vegetables in the refrigerator were as fresh and tender as the day she’d put them in.

This was one way the house space was similar to the ring space; you never had to worry about things going bad.

She had been extremely frugal back in that other dimension. Worried she might never recover her personal space, she had also been wary of the food available there.

This was the first big meal she’d had in a long time.

It wasn’t particularly extravagant, but... who doesn’t love hot pot?

After eating, she entered the spring water space.

The moment she entered, she was nearly crushed to death.

The space was overflowing with chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, pigs, cows, and sheep...

They had occupied every spare inch of land.

Thankfully, they hadn’t encroached on the fruit and vegetable fields.

In fact, there were so many ripened fruits and vegetables that production had halted due to lack of space.

Chen Xing opened up her truck trailers and filled several of them with the ripe produce.

As for the livestock and poultry, she could only leave them for now and take them out when she was close to her destination.

That night, all of her spaces upgraded, including the spring water space, which hadn’t been upgraded in a long time.

The ring space only grew a little larger, but her ability to absorb others’ superpowers seemed to have leveled up again.

She even felt that she no longer had to make a move; she could absorb someone’s superpower just by thinking it.

When she got up, she was eager to test it out.

Coincidentally, she heard a noise outside.

A zombie was running toward her from a distance at an extremely high speed.

Judging by its speed, it had to be a speed-type zombie.

Chen Xing exited her space and, with a single thought, the zombie’s speed instantly slowed.

And just like that, she had successfully absorbed the zombie’s superpower.

’This way, I can absorb people’s superpowers without even moving in the future. No one will ever notice.’

After breakfast, she headed toward the place where she had been sucked into the black vortex.

’If the time I spent over there was just an instant here, then Yu Laosan is probably still around.’

’Yu Laosan is a very greedy man. After seeing all my abilities, he’s bound to be suspicious.’

’And if he’s suspicious, he’ll definitely search for clues.’

’For example, did I leave anything behind when I disappeared?’

It wasn’t too far. Two hours later, Chen Xing found the spot.

After putting her car away, she approached while invisible.

Under the scorching sun, a group of people were hunched over, searching for something in that area.

Chen Xing had guessed right.

Ever since Chen Xing disappeared, Yu Laosan had posted people here to search day and night.

What were they searching for? He wasn’t exactly sure himself.

However, he was certain that Chen Xing had something on her with extraordinary powers.

’Since she’s dead, she must have left it behind.’

But now... a month had passed, and they had found nothing.

Chen Xing saw a group of men, women, young, and old, all bent over and parting the grass in the blistering forty-degree-plus heat.

Meanwhile, in the shade nearby, a few Superpower Users stood watching them, drinking water.

"Can you give us a sip of water?" an old man in his sixties, unable to bear it any longer, called out from a distance.

"You want water when you haven’t found anything?" one of the Superpower Users retorted, taking a big gulp of water himself. "If you don’t find it soon, you’ll all be dead!"

The old man had no choice but to continue his search, bending over once more.

"I don’t even know what they want us to find. They just make us search all day!" someone muttered, venting their frustration in a low voice.

"How long has it been? This is completely inhuman!"

"Talk about humanity with them? Can’t you see? They don’t even treat us like people. In this heat, they won’t even give us a sip of water. Sooner or later, we’re all going to die here!"

"Our superpowers are no match for theirs. What can we do? Just get back to it," said a man with a Water Ability.

When the Superpower Users on the other side weren’t looking, he secretly conjured some water and gave a little to the people next to him.

After taking a sip himself, he stood up to check on the Superpower Users.

One look, and his blood began to boil.
