Chapter 133 The Dodder of the Apocalyptic Powerhouse 19
Chapter 133 The Dodder of the Apocalyptic Powerhouse 19
The night was still and windless; even breathing felt suffocating, as if a downpour was brewing.
The clouds had accumulated to their maximum moisture content, and with a clap of thunder, the sky was torn apart, and rain poured down.
The doors and windows of the room had been tightly closed, so it was unaffected by the heavy rain.
The conversation in the living room continued.
"Yes, but there's no trace. Maybe I'm wrong." Jiang Yufeng leaned back in his chair, propping his head up with one hand, and unconsciously swirled his water glass.
Shen Yanke frowned: "You wouldn't mention something you weren't sure about."
It was thanks to Jiang Yufeng's caution that they were able to avoid danger multiple times and survive to this day.
"How about we look at it another way? If it really was just the two of you there, then if it wasn't you who attacked the vines, could it have been Xiao Ye?"
Following this conjecture, Shen Yanke continued, organizing her thoughts: "Since she can see the crystal cores inside zombies' heads, can't she also harm these creatures with crystal cores without anyone noticing?"
"If she's even bolder, her powers might actually harm people."
Do you think she knows about this?
"If we knew, what was her purpose in approaching us? Could it be...?"
Shen Yanke didn't continue, only looking at Jiang Yufeng with deep eyes. No matter what, Ye Shuwan was no match for his brother of many years.
If she posed a threat to them, A-Yu couldn't bear it and wouldn't mind taking action on her behalf.
"Don't overthink it. The other party only attacked the vines, not me, so it shouldn't be an enemy."
Jiang Yufeng placed the water glass on the coffee table. The glass clinked together with a soft, crisp sound, interrupting Shen Yanke's fierce gaze.
Shen Yanke regained his nonchalant demeanor, though a hint of ruthlessness remained in his eyes: "Fine, but let me tell you in advance, if that day ever comes, I won't hold back."
"That day will never come."
Although he did become somewhat different from his former self after meeting Ye Shuwan, his instinctive vigilance and defensiveness remained strong; otherwise, he wouldn't have so easily given her the pistol and bullets.
Jiang Yufeng stood up: "It's getting late. I'll leave this to you and go get some rest."

After driving for several days, the car arrived in City S.
The changes on the road these past few days, while not huge, weren't insignificant either.
The first thing that comes to mind is Jiang Yufeng and Ye Shuwan being together.
Shen Yanke and He Sihuai had expected this, so they weren't too surprised.
However, Shen Yanke's smile recently masked his wariness, and his vigilance towards Ye Shuwan, which had decreased slightly, actually increased.
Having heard about the conversation that night from Qi Qi, Ye Shuwan knew the truth, but pretended not to know.
Apart from that, Cheng Yan had the strongest reaction.
Within seconds of learning this, I stared blankly through the mental journey of "Brother Yu likes women!!", "What? He likes Xiao Ye!!", and "They're together!!" before finally accepting the development.
But I can't help but sigh that when I woke up, not only had Brother Yu, who is usually so stubborn, blossomed, but even the zombies had become faster.
Yes, the zombies are faster, and the number of level 2 zombies encountered on the road has also increased.
The torrential rain that night was like sweet dew and holy water to the zombies; but to the survivors, it was yet another devastating blow to humanity from the apocalypse.
In the original storyline, many people died because they couldn't escape the suddenly accelerated zombies, and the number of survivors decreased once again.
In order to resist the increasingly powerful zombies, a superhuman accidentally used a crystal core.
After that, more and more superhumans began to use crystal cores, and the superhuman abilities of superhumans were also divided into different levels.
From then on, people with superpowers were truly valued and their status gradually rose.
Although she had brought up the existence of the crystal core early on, City A had also revealed this information to the public.
However, due to safety concerns and a lack of urgency, the crystal core is still in the clinical trial stage, and most superhumans are unwilling to take the risk.
Things should be different now.
Ye Shuwan stared out the window unconsciously, then suddenly fixed her gaze on the group of people surrounded by zombies not far away, a faint smile creeping onto her lips.
What a coincidence!
We finally met, An Shixi.
On the other side, An Shixi and his group also noticed the SUV approaching from afar.
Seeing that the car had no intention of stopping and there were too many zombies, and with the situation urgent and not allowing for much thought, they fought their way through the zombies and ran towards the car.
"Help us—"
"Help--"
The other party suddenly brought so many zombies towards them without warning, forcing the car to stop.
Cheng Yan got out of the car in a bad mood, and a fire dragon was released, instantly reducing the number of chasing zombies by more than half.
The rest were dealt with by Shen Yanke, who got off the bus later.
Thanks to the rain, Jiang Yufeng and his team also harvested several level-two crystal cores, bringing the entire team to level three.
Dealing with level 2 zombies has indeed become much easier.
It was rare to see so many level-two zombies, so Cheng Yan wasn't angry anymore. He picked up all the crystal cores one by one and quickly did so.
Just as he was about to leave, a hand suddenly reached out and stopped him: "Hey, there are quite a few zombies among those you picked up that we killed. You can't take them all."
"That's interesting. Without us, we don't know if you'd even have a chance to get the crystal core." Cheng Yan didn't have a habit of hitting girls, and he forcefully slapped her hand away.
"You!" Her temper flared, the girl was unwilling to back down and tried to block Cheng Yan's way again.
"Chen Yue!" The boy in the lead grabbed her, but she bit her lip and decided not to go any further.
The boy stepped forward and said sincerely, "I am He Yan. Thank you for your help. My teammate didn't understand just now, so I apologize on her behalf. These crystal cores are naturally yours."
"That's more like it." Cheng Yan pouted and stopped arguing.
Shen Yanke raised an eyebrow; he wasn't as stupid as Cheng Yan.
This guy named He Yan waited until the girl finished speaking before stopping her, just to see if Cheng Yan would share the crystal cores with them.
He would naturally benefit from the division, and conversely, he wouldn't lose out either. He stepped in as a peacemaker, saying "I haven't figured it out," thus shifting the blame cleanly without offending anyone.
Too lazy to expose his convoluted scheme, Shen Yanke put on a fake smile and said, "We were just passing by. Now that the matter has been resolved, we'll leave."
Looking through the car window, An Shixi wanted to see who was sitting inside, but unexpectedly saw Ye Shuwan sitting in the passenger seat.
I never expected that I could survive being scratched by zombies and even find such a group of strong and handsome men to protect me.
Ye Shuwan is truly blessed.
She subtly sized up Shen Yanke and Jiang Yufeng, who was sitting in the driver's seat, concealing the jealousy in her eyes. Suddenly, she excitedly took two steps forward, knocked on the car window, and called out.
"Wanwan, is that you? Thank goodness, you're still alive!"
