“Spatial ability and wood-type ability,” the child said obediently.
“…” Oh dear, he had the exact same dual-type abilities as him!
“Okay, I’ll take you with me!” the skinny man said excitedly. It wasn’t difficult to find someone with a single-type ability who shared the same ability, but for two people with the same dual-type abilities to be so different— that was fate!
“Qiu Yi, have you forgotten what your mother said?” Lin Yiyi asked anxiously, “Didn’t Mom say that if she didn’t come back, you should go find Sister Fu? She told you to listen to Sister Fu.”
“But Sister Fu is gone, she’s gone just like Mom,” Qiu Yi said seriously. “So I’m going to find Mom.”
Lin Yiyi was speechless.
Seeing her worried expression, the skinny man smiled and said, “If you’re worried, you can come with us.”
“Okay!” Lin Yiyi agreed without hesitation.
The skinny man’s smile instantly froze. Did he really have to take this so seriously? The skinny man in his previous life was too thin and looked shifty-eyed; he didn’t look like a good person at all.
Therefore, many people were wary of him. If he were in his previous life form, Qiu Yi definitely wouldn’t dare to go with him. Lin Yiyi didn’t dare to agree without thinking either.
But the current skinny man wasn’t as thin and shifty-eyed as he was in his previous life.
After telling Feng Han, Lin Yiyi followed the skinny man and Qiu Yi.
“…” Feng Han was a little stunned. What was going on?
Fu Ke didn’t know that the skinny man she had been longing for had come and gone. It was because she hadn’t returned to the base before but had gone to the neighboring city to collect gold.
And thus, she had successfully missed the meeting.
Fu Ke and Lan Sheng climbed down from the tree. Lan Sheng waved, and the nine people who had been hiding gathered over. Among them was a woman with short hair and a curvaceous figure.
“There are only ten of us, all ordinary people.” Lan Sheng scratched his head.
Song Fei couldn’t help but lean against his sister: “Sis, why didn’t Lan Sheng send this delicate little girl away? Why did he bring her here?”
Song Jing couldn’t help but roll her eyes and glare at her brainless brother: “If you’re brainless, don’t talk nonsense.”
“…” Song Fei.
Fu Ke looked up and smiled at Song Fei.
For some reason, Song Fei felt a chill run down his spine. It was as if he was being stared at by something unclean.
“Hello, my name is Song Jing, and this is my brother.” Song Jing gave Fu Ke a friendly smile and introduced Song Fei.
“My name is Fu Ke.” Fu Ke smiled, finally no longer looking at Song Fei.
“Liu Qi, Cheng Yue, Lin Lizhong, Zhang Xin, Zhou Zaihe, Wei Yu, Xiao Heng. This is all of us,” Lan Sheng said, seeing Song Jing introduce herself and Song Fei. Then he briefly introduced the rest of the people one by one.
“Hello, I’m Fu Ke.” Fu Ke smiled and introduced himself to them again.
Lan Sheng glanced at them: “Fu Ke is a superpower used; she’ll be with us to rescue people.”
Fu Ke nodded: “It’s not just Lan Zhi inside; there are many men, women, and children, especially a lot of kids. It’s not a small number. You’d better consider how to settle them after you rescue them.”
Her tone suggested that everyone inside would definitely be rescued.
Song Jing’s eyes flashed slightly: “Miss Fu, may I ask how confident you are in rescuing everyone safely?”
Fu Ke was a cautious person. So she smiled: “Eighty percent.”
No, one hundred percent, except for those who had already turned into zombies. Like Lan Zhi. However, Fu Ke was genuinely curious that Lan Zhi, a third-tier zombie, could retain his memories; it was truly remarkable.
If she had memories from her past life, she wouldn’t have been so foolish.
Lan Sheng breathed a sigh of relief when Fu Ke didn’t mention Lan Zhi’s zombie status.
“We’ll escort the rescued people to the nearest base. We won’t leave until they arrive safely,” Lan Sheng assured her.
Leave? Fu Ke asked in surprise, “You don’t live in a base?”
Song Fei was still a little uneasy seeing Fu Ke and couldn’t help but hide behind her sister, then realized his action was too cowardly. So he quickly stood up straight and answered Fu Ke’s question eagerly, “We are a small team traveling alone in the apocalypse!”
Under Lan Zhi’s leadership, this team had survived well in the apocalypse even without superpowers.
However, this was only temporary, because zombies with superpowers hadn’t appeared yet.
“Grumble…” An untimely sound suddenly rang out, and the atmosphere froze instantly.
Lan Sheng silently took out some biscuits from his pocket: “Eat some first.”
“I’m not hungry…” Fu Ke was a little confused, and before she could finish speaking, her stomach growled again.
Song Jing couldn’t help but laugh: “Don’t be polite with us, eat some biscuits first, at least it’ll fill your stomach. Although it won’t fill you up, at least you won’t be too hungry.”
But… how could she explain that she really wasn’t hungry?
No, it wasn’t that she wasn’t hungry, it was that she was afraid to eat biscuits. She was afraid to eat human food.
Fu Ke was a little embarrassed, but then she suddenly realized… She was hungry, and her stomach was growling just like a human’s? Moreover, she remembered that when she was first reborn, when she was starving, the smell of humans made her feel like she was being offered a delicious feast.
But now she was genuinely hungry, surrounded by so many people, yet she didn’t feel anything?
“Sister Jing is right, have some, don’t be shy. You didn’t bring anything, don’t starve.” Lan Sheng stuffed a biscuit into Fu Ke’s hand.
“…” Looking at the thin biscuit in her hand, Fu Ke forced a smile.
Under the intense gazes of the group, Fu Ke returned the biscuit to Lan Sheng: “No need, I’m really not hungry. Let’s find another spot to stake out; soon, this place will be completely surrounded by zombies.”
“Huh?” Liu Qi swallowed hard, looking at the biscuit, but was confused by Fu Ke’s words: “How did you know?”
Fu Ke looked at him: “It’s a secret.”
Since she wouldn’t eat the biscuit, Lan Sheng put it away. Looking at Fu Ke, he found it strange; he hadn’t seen anyone so hungry but not eating food. Was she afraid he’d poisoned the biscuit?
That didn’t seem right either.
Completely baffled, the group changed their position and climbed the hillside behind the abandoned factory.
Just as Fu Ke had said, within a short while, a dense horde of zombies surrounded them from all directions, moving at varying speeds.
First-tier zombies were the most numerous, followed by a significant number of second-tier zombies, with the fewest being third-tier. These zombies lacked intelligence and the ability to think. However, their advantage was their obedience.
Fu Ke possessed immense mental power, so she wasn’t worried about being unable to control the horde.
Upon seeing the zombies in the distance, the people at the door picked up their machine guns, ready to fire, but when they suddenly realized just how many zombies there were, they nearly collapsed in fear.
They quickly helped each other open the door and ran inside to report the situation.
“Boss! Boss, it’s terrible! A zombie horde! So many zombies, they’re all coming this way!” The two men who rushed in were terrified, screaming and shouting without regard for anything else.
The man in the suit, who had been resting with his eyes closed, frowned when he heard the commotion and waved his hand. “Go see what’s going on.”
As he spoke, the man behind him went out.
“What are you yelling about? Don’t you know the boss is resting? What’s all the fuss about?” The man stepped out and scolded the men with a dark face.
“Brother, brother… I didn’t want to either, but there are so many zombies, they’ll probably surround us soon!” the guard said, panting heavily.
“How many can they be? There’s explosives in the warehouse, do you think those zombies can withstand explosives?” the man said dismissively.
However, the gatekeeper weakly said, “They’re definitely no match for the explosives. But the number of zombies seems endless…”
“How is that possible!”
It really was possible. They ran to the gate to take a look and immediately gasped. The man hurriedly went back to report to their boss.
“Boss, a lot of zombies are coming this way. The number— is incalculable.” The man said cautiously, not daring to breathe.
The man in the suit slowly opened his eyes: “Oh? Gather everyone and move everything out of the warehouse. Be ready at any time.”
“Yes!”
Their every move did not escape Fu Ke’s eyes. Fu Ke looked at the man called the boss. His face was covered with a beard, obscuring his features, leaving only a pair of black eyes.
“How, how come there are so many zombies!” Song Jing couldn’t calm down at all. Looking at the densely packed zombies, she almost suspected that all the zombies in the entire City A had gathered here. Her scalp began to tingle.
Even though Lan Sheng suspected Fu Ke was a superhuman, he couldn’t remain calm and couldn’t help but ask, “How did you do that?”
Fu Ke smiled: “It’s a secret.”
If Fu Ke told them she was a zombie, they’d probably be scared out of their wits. Thinking of this, Fu Ke smiled even more broadly, her eyes crinkling and her dimples deepening.
Such a lovely smile, but no one appreciated it now.
All their attention was drawn to the zombies.
Song Fei swallowed hard: “I think we should run away… When the zombies come, the abandoned factory is finished, and I think we’re doomed too.”
“Don’t worry, they won’t come.” Fu Ke saw his nervousness; in fact, everyone was nervous.
Everyone here was stunned by the zombie horde, except for Fu Ke.
“How do you know?” Song Fei asked incredulously.
“I already said it’s a secret, can you stop asking? Even if you ask, I won’t tell. If I told, would it still be a secret?” Fu Ke said helplessly.
They’d already said it was a secret, yet they still kept asking one after another.
“…”
“I… I need to pee…” Liu Qi said shyly, his face flushed.
“Get lost,” Lan Sheng said disdainfully.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qi ran away like a rabbit.
“Are you sure they won’t come? Sorry, I’m not questioning your judgment. It’s just that there are so many zombies…” Lan Sheng said anxiously.
“Don’t worry,” Fu Ke said.
“The people inside, I mean those who were captured, will they be alright?” Lan Sheng breathed a sigh of relief but asked his last remaining question.
