Chapter 134 The Dodder of the Apocalyptic Powerhouse 20
Shen Yanke took the opportunity to stop his car and stood behind An Shixi, watching the exciting "family reunion" with great interest.
He Yan took the opportunity to walk up to him and talk to him.
Although Jiangchuan Base in City S ranks second among bases nationwide, its strength is far inferior to Chenxi Base in City A, which ranks first.
In the apocalypse, factors to consider when ranking bases include population size, resources, and weapons, but now there's another factor: the number and level of superhumans.
Those with superpowers possess physical abilities and overall qualities far superior to ordinary people, enabling them to better adapt to the apocalypse.
Moreover, after that rain, it became more difficult for ordinary people to kill level one zombies.
Previously, with a little caution, an ordinary person could kill a level one zombie without getting hurt.
Now, even two or three people working together might not be able to escape unscathed.
Not to mention that more and more level 2 zombies are appearing now.
Even a level one superhuman requires multiple people to work together to successfully kill him.
Unfortunately, when the Dawn Base sent the message about the crystal cores, they still had concerns about their use, so now there are very few level-two ability users in the base.
As the male protagonist and the only son of the base chief, He Yan is naturally also at level two.
However, he had only just reached level two, so he took the initiative to lead the team to kill zombies this time, hoping to obtain more crystal cores to improve his strength.
Unexpectedly, they were surrounded by five level-two zombies and a group of level-one zombies. They fought desperately but only managed to kill two level-two zombies.
Fortunately, the two people who appeared wiped out the entire group in one fell swoop. He estimated that they must both be at level three.
If we can recruit them into the base, the strength of Jiangchuan Base will definitely increase significantly.
Inside the car, after Jiang Yufeng parked the car, he noticed that Ye Shuwan seemed absent-minded, staring blankly in a certain direction.
When asked what happened, he just shook his head, clenched his fists helplessly, forced a smile, and didn't say anything.
It wasn't until An Shixi came and knocked on the window that he found the root of the problem.
He placed his hand on the back of her hand: "If you don't want to deal with her, then tell her to get lost."
Ye Shuwan looked back at him with some surprise, chuckled, and then, hearing the knocking on the window, finally opened it with a forced smile: "Xi, An Shixi, you're looking for me?"
That face is so exquisite!
A sinister glint flashed in An Shixi's eyes.
Ye Shuwan was already extremely beautiful. Even when she looked at me with her bright, watery eyes on her small face without any expression, she was still incredibly charming.
She herself was quite beautiful, but when she stood next to Ye Shuwan, she could only be a foil.
It was only after Ye Shuwan's reputation was ruined that people gradually turned their attention to her.
After that, in the apocalypse, everyone was busy escaping for their lives, and Ye Shuwan, as the "burden" of the whole team, naturally received poor treatment.
Eating little and doing a lot of work, coupled with the lack of water and the inability to take a bath, made Ye Shuwan look a little disheveled, but only slightly.
Unexpectedly, during her absence, Ye Shuwan's complexion recovered, becoming fair and rosy, and she looked even more refined.
An Shixi tried hard to suppress her jealousy: "Wanwan, do you resent me?"
She gave a self-deprecating laugh: "You should also blame me. If I hadn't been so scared, I wouldn't have tripped while backing up and caused you to get scratched by a zombie. It's all my fault. Wanwan, can you forgive me?"
Ye Shuwan seemed moved, and was about to speak when she was interrupted by a sharp voice.
"Xixi, you said it was an accident, so she can only blame her bad luck. Who told her to stand there? What does it have to do with you? Besides, she's still alive and well, and she's even hooked up with four men. Maybe she's living a better life than before the apocalypse..."
Chen Yue leaned closer, her tone unconsciously carrying a hint of disdain.
She used to envy Ye Shuwan, who came from a wealthy family and was outstanding in appearance.
After Ye Shuwan's scandalous affair spread, she felt a strange sense of pleasure watching the once-high and mighty school beauty fall from grace, and even secretly posted comments trying to expose the whole thing.
After the apocalypse, she awakened her superpowers, while Ye Shuwan remained an ordinary person. This made her feel superior to others, and she always spoke to Ye Shuwan in this way, as she was used to it.
"hiss--"
As Chen Yue was speaking, a gust of wind suddenly grazed her right cheek, causing a stinging pain. She touched it and looked down, finding her fingers stained with red.
Looking up again, she saw a dark gun barrel pointed directly at her.
"What are you doing? I...I...I'm telling you, murder is illegal."
She tried to hide behind An Shixi, her legs trembling, but froze in place when she saw the murderous intent in Jiang Yufeng's eyes.
Cheng Yan had long disliked her, and if Shen Yanke hadn't stopped him, he definitely would have thrown a fireball at her too.
Seeing Jiang Yufeng like this, he felt a sense of relief and gloated, saying, "It's the apocalypse now, who cares about breaking the law? Well done, Brother Yu."
He Yan was also somewhat shocked and wanted Shen Yanke to help persuade him, but stopped talking after seeing his indifferent expression.
Chen Yue possesses water-based superpowers, but only at level one. It's not worth offending two suspected level three superpower users for her sake.
Moreover, judging from Cheng Yan's address, the man in the car must be quite extraordinary.
After observing Jiang Yufeng for a moment without showing any emotion, He Yan decided to wait and see how things would develop.
An Shixi hadn't expected the seemingly aloof man in the driver's seat to actually help Ye Shuwan. She was filled with both jealousy and fear, but considering her usual persona, she still stammered as she spoke:
"I'm sorry, Yueyue can be a bit blunt sometimes, but she doesn't mean any harm. Please don't mind her. I apologize on her behalf. Could you please put the gun away?"
Jiang Yufeng ignored her and only spoke indifferently after Ye Shuwan gently tugged at his sleeve: "The person who should apologize is not me."
"Yes, I'm sorry, Ye Shuwan, I won't say anything out of line again." Chen Yue apologized crisply and then hid behind An Shixi.
"There won't be a next time." Jiang Yufeng glanced at An Shixi and the others with a warning look before putting away his gun.
An Shixi swallowed nervously; the man really did seem like he was going to shoot right away.
She didn't have any special abilities, and He Yan wasn't coming to help her. Now she didn't want to say anything more to Ye Shuwan, nor did she have the mind to smear Ye Shuwan in front of them. She turned around and wanted to leave.
Ye Shuwan wouldn't let her go, and reached out to grab An Shixi: "Wait."
"W-what's wrong, Wanwan?" An Shixi forced a smile, but when she heard Ye Shuwan's next words, she couldn't keep up the act anymore.
"Can you return the necklace I gave you before?"
"Why should I!" An Shixi pulled her hand away suddenly, with such force that Ye Shuwan's hand was dragged and hit the corner of the car window, leaving a large red mark.
An Shixi instantly felt Jiang Yufeng's sharp gaze sweep over her, and she could only force a smile and say, "I'm sorry, Wanwan, I was just too shocked. Didn't you give me that necklace?"
