Chapter 330 - 328: Strange Town

Chapter 330: Chapter 328: Strange Town

Lightning strikes, fire attacks, and icicles...

Any and all offensive superpowers rained down on Chen Xing.

But... Chen Xing didn’t even try to dodge.

She had a Defense Ability.

All those superpowers, which seemed certain to kill Chen Xing, were blocked.

Meanwhile, Chen Xing had once again pinpointed another Spiritual Zombie.

This one was a Level Eight Spiritual Zombie, one Level higher than the last.

It was cunning enough to use a lower Level Spiritual Zombie to lure her over.

If she hadn’t possessed a built-in defense, it would have been very difficult to evade.

Chen Xing immediately targeted the Spiritual Zombie and forcefully absorbed it.

Along with its speed-type superpower, it was now hers.

Only then did she realize that most Spiritual Zombies awaken a second, speed-type superpower in order to survive.

This was also why Spiritual Zombies could upgrade their superpowers quickly and safely.

Without a leader, the zombie horde instantly fell into chaos.

Those that could see people began to attack, while those that couldn’t just wandered away aimlessly.

Chen Xing couldn’t bear to let them leave.

’This place is a wasteland... Killing them safely and taking their Crystal Cores would be amazing, wouldn’t it?’

So... to attract the zombies in the distance, Chen Xing waved her hand and released Meng Hu.

Meng Hu had been cooped up in her space for long enough. The moment it was let out, it went wild.

Like a sheepdog herding its flock, it drove all the distant, fleeing zombies back.

Song Yiguo and his group watched, stunned.

Chen Xing had no intention of keeping it a secret from him any longer.

As more time passed in the apocalypse, all sorts of superpowers had emerged.

Space Abilities weren’t common, but they existed.

In fact, Song Yiguo’s own team had a Space Ability User.

The reason Chen Xing did this was to make her life a little easier in the future.

Meng Hu disappearing and reappearing like that would be exposed sooner or later, so she might as well confess on her own terms now.

Of course, she wouldn’t say anything about the Green Gemstone Jewelry.

Once Meng Hu, in coordination with Chen Xing, had corralled all the zombies into a tighter circle, the tiger and the woman began their slaughter.

Song Yiguo wasn’t in a hurry.

He knew Chen Xing had done this for a reason and would explain later.

After the killing was done, Chen Xing returned to Song Yiguo’s side with Meng Hu.

Vice General Du was curious, so he told the other Superpower Users to go collect the Crystal Cores while he stayed behind.

"I awakened my Space Ability earlier than other Space Ability Users!" Chen Xing explained, fabricating the story as she went. "But my Space Ability is a little different from theirs. It can hold living things..."

"So... you’re the one raising all that livestock and poultry?" Song Yiguo immediately grasped the key point.

’That’s incredible!’

’Doesn’t that mean she’ll never have to worry about going hungry?’

’I have to latch onto this powerhouse!’

"I raise most of them, but because the space isn’t big enough, I can’t raise too many... maybe a thousand or so!" she said, feigning humility.

Song Yiguo: "..."

Vice General Du: "..."

’A thousand or so isn’t a lot?’

"What about the vegetables?" Song Yiguo was cunning.

’If he knew even a little, he could deduce a great deal. That was why she’d never revealed too much.’

"I grow them on a small, empty plot of land nearby!"

"Your supplies?"

"My space is limited; I barely have any room for supplies!" ’Chen Xing didn’t dare say her space held enough supplies to fill dozens of large supermarkets. They’d definitely kill her and rob her blind.’

Song Yiguo didn’t press her further.

’Chen Xing had been more than generous, after all. How many benefits had she given him already?’

The reason Chen Xing had revealed a small part of her hand to Song Yiguo was because he hadn’t shown any ill intentions toward her during the few days she was unconscious... and of course, by ill intentions, she didn’t mean anything of a romantic nature.

There were many suspicious things about her, and he could have easily investigated some of them while she was unconscious.

Not only did he not do that, he even took diligent care of her.

And during the danger just now, he had been the first to carry her to safety.

It was also the first time he had personally stepped onto the battlefield to face such a desperate danger.

She wasn’t made of stone.

Having Song Yiguo as an ally was no loss.

Vice General Du could now understand why Chen Xing’s Meng Hu had suddenly disappeared and then reappeared before.

His fondness for Meng Hu grew even more.

Song Yiguo squinted at Chen Xing.

Chen Xing: "..."

’That look in his eyes clearly shows he still has questions.’

"Go ahead, ask!"

"How many superpowers do you have?" As far as he knew, it was at least four or five.

Vice General Du was curious too, his handsome face fixed on Chen Xing, not even blinking.

Chen Xing: "For now... five." ’She didn’t know when she might be forced to use her other superpowers. To win their trust, she couldn’t give a definitive answer.’

Song Yiguo caught the key word.

’So... this woman is still hiding something?’

’Then again... haven’t I been hiding things from her, too?’

’Not revealing your whole hand was a rule of survival in the apocalypse.’

So he didn’t pursue the matter.

Tens of thousands of Crystal Cores were collected and all placed into the Space Ability User’s space.

Amidst their amazement, they set off for the airport.

However... after driving just two kilometers, they saw a small town.

They had seen this town on their way here as well.

It was just that they hadn’t paid it much attention at the time.

Now, looking at the town, it seemed a little too perfect.

The buildings had basically retained their original appearance; not even many of the glass windows were broken.

’Could it be that the horde of zombies from before was heading for this town?’

"Let’s not go looking for trouble!" Song Yiguo said, immediately shutting down the idea when he saw Chen Xing’s eager expression.

"But I have a feeling there’s something good in this town," Chen Xing said, continuing to persuade Song Yiguo when she saw he was unmoved. "Supplies are scarce everywhere. If we find a batch, it’ll make things easier for the Capital City!"

Song Yiguo remained completely unshaken.

The convoy completely ignored the town and continued toward the airport.

But just after they passed the town, they were forced to stop their vehicles.

A chasm had appeared in front of them, and several of their tires had blown out.

"This chasm wasn’t here when we came through, was it?" Vice General Du pointed out.

Of course it wasn’t. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have reached Hulton City so smoothly.

"Be careful. We’re heading into the town on foot!" There was no other choice; not a single vehicle was undamaged.

Half the people were left behind to change the tires, while the rest followed Song Yiguo toward the town.

In case there was a danger they were unaware of, Chen Xing left Meng Hu behind by the edge of the chasm.

The town wasn’t far, only a few hundred meters away.

Upon entering the town, they thought someone might come out with a hypocritical welcome.

Who knew that after walking for a long time, they wouldn’t see a single soul.

"Is there no one here?" Vice General Du said uncertainly.

Looking at the intact houses, he felt there had to be people around.

’What’s the point of luring us here if you’re not going to show yourselves?’

Just as they were wondering about this, a snow-white poodle ran out of a two-story house.

Its fur was clean and well-groomed, and it was even tied into two small braids, each adorned with a bow.

Upon seeing Chen Xing’s group, the little thing showed no fear of strangers and hopped right up to them.

After looking up at them, it went straight to Chen Xing’s feet and started rubbing against her, even letting out a couple of yips.

"Fuck!" Chen Xing couldn’t stop herself from cursing out loud in front of everyone.

’This thing... it’s carrying some kind of hallucinogen.’
