Chapter 119 The Dodder of the Apocalyptic Powerhouse 5
"Oh, okay, but could you just call me by my name, or like Brother Cheng Yan, just call me Xiao Ye?"
With Shen Yanke speaking up, Ye Shuwan instantly broke free from the awkward silence she felt sitting next to Jiang Yufeng. She looked at him gratefully and had the courage to make her own request. However, this courage was short-lived, and her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke.
Shen Yanke readily agreed: "Okay, Xiao Ye, you can also call me Brother Shen. Let me introduce you. This is our boss, Jiang Yufeng, from the Space Department."
Shen Yanke thought things through. Although Ye Shuwan was now considered their teammate, they hadn't known each other well, and they still needed to observe her character and other qualities further.
Therefore, Jiang Yufeng's dual-elemental abilities should be reserved for now.
Since the spatial ability was already exposed when the clothes were taken out earlier, I might as well just say it openly.
As for the lightning element, it can be used as a trump card. In case things fall apart in the future and she goes to another team, we won't be completely without options.
Although based on his years of experience in judging people, he believed that Ye Shuwan would most likely become one of them, his way of handling things over the years had made him accustomed to leaving himself and his companions a way out.
But to his utter surprise, Jiang Yufeng, the sixth brother, actually rushed to self-destruct.
"Dual element, lightning element."
Jiang Yufeng's tone was very calm, as if he were talking about today's weather, and he didn't even deliberately look at Ye Shuwan.
However, as Jiang Yufeng's longtime friend and childhood buddy, Shen Yanke swore on the happiness of his remaining years:
He could definitely detect a hint of boasting in the sixth man's tone.
It looks like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, it's simply unbearable to look at!
Jiang Yufeng's mood improved even more when Ye Shuwan exclaimed in shock after hearing the story.
If he had a tail right now, he'd probably be spinning around like a rocket.
He truly never imagined that his own brother could also become a tyrannical ruler obsessed with beauty.
He had dodged so many suitors before, and was even worried about his innocence. But he never expected to fall for Xiao Ye so easily.
That day, Ye Shuwan collapsed right in front of them. Even though she had been scratched by zombies, Jiang Yufeng still carried her back to the villa and waited for five days afterward.
If Jiang Yufeng hadn't still had some sense and knew to tie her up tightly, Shen Yanke would have genuinely thought her brother had been switched with someone else.
Thinking about it this way, Shen Yanke had to reassess Ye Shuwan.
He went through Ye Shuwan's behavior from her appearance to her waking up in his mind once again.
Aside from the strange way he appeared, the long time it took for him to awaken his powers, and his timidity, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him.
If I had to say, she was a bit outstanding in appearance, but it wasn't too bad; they'd seen plenty of other beauties before.
Moreover, if Jiang Yufeng hadn't miraculously brought the little girl back, they probably would have left long ago, and she wouldn't be staying with their team now.
So, he seemed to have to admit that it was probably true that his own brother had developed feelings for her.
The girl looks quite young; I wonder if she's an adult yet. Jiang Yufeng probably wouldn't do something so beastly.
Forget it, he can just keep an eye on things and help clean up if anything goes wrong.
A thousand thoughts raced through his mind in an instant, but Shen Yanke still wore a sly smile, and had to find a way to justify his words:
"Yes, Ayu is a lightning-type, but he doesn't use it often, I almost forgot. Come on, let me introduce you to the next one."
Shen Yanke pointed to the person sitting to his right and continued, "This is He Sihuai, from the Wind element."
"Hello," He Sihuai said, giving Ye Shuwan a very slight nod.
He Sihuai also looks cold, but unlike Jiang Yufeng, Jiang Yufeng's coldness comes from his powerful aura, like an iceberg. People are shocked by his unfathomable depths and also fear the mysterious dangers he brings.
He Sihuai, on the contrary, seemed to be focused on his own world, too lazy to deal with trivial matters, and indifferent to everything.
"Hello, I am Ye Shuwan."
Facing He Sihuai, Ye Shuwan was not as nervous as she was when facing Jiang Yufeng and Shen Yanke; her expression was much more natural.
Perhaps the former was too aggressive, while the latter was too preoccupied.
This differential treatment amused Shen Yanke and made Jiang Yufeng, who was standing next to her, feel even more oppressed.
Shen Yanke pretended not to know and continued, "I am ice-type, as I already showed you in the room. As for Cheng Yan, he is not important. Let's eat."
Cheng Yan thought that Shen Yanke had placed him last because he had finally realized his importance, but he didn't expect that Shen Yanke would just skip him over!
He wasn't in a hurry to eat hotpot anymore, and angrily shouted, "What doesn't matter, Shen Yanke, are you jealous that I'm better than you? If you're so capable, let's have a fight."
Cheng Yan put down his chopsticks and a ball of fire suddenly appeared in his hand: "I have powerful fire-type abilities, Xiao Ye, don't worry, I'll protect you on the road ahead."
Shen Yanke: "You? I wonder who was the one who screamed like a baby when a zombie came last time."
Cheng Yan: "Was I scared? I was clearly drawing your fire, otherwise why..."
Watching them bicker was quite amusing, so Ye Shuwan didn't disturb them. She was interrupted after only a few words when a bowl of rice porridge was suddenly placed in front of her.
As the bowl appeared, Jiang Yufeng's voice rang out: "Eat."
The porridge was cooked until soft and sticky, and the sweet aroma of rice mixed with the fragrance of meat stimulated Ye Shuwan's mouth to produce a lot of saliva.
When she woke up, she found that, logically speaking, after lying in bed for five days without eating, she should have felt weak all over. But on the contrary, she did not feel any discomfort and even felt better.
Based on her memories of other people who had activated their superpowers in the same way, coupled with the special background of the apocalypse, she adapted and accepted it with great ease.
However, this does not mean that people with superpowers will never need to eat again. The consumption of superpowers will increase their food intake, especially since she just used two superpowers. She feels so hungry now that she could eat two large bowls of food.
She was worried that eating hot pot all of a sudden would upset her stomach, but Jiang Yufeng was surprisingly considerate.
"Wow, Brother Yu, when did you cook this porridge? It smells so good! Is there any more? I want some too."
Cheng Yan was instantly drawn to the rice porridge, and stopped arguing with Shen Yanke. He wanted to bury himself in the porridge.
On Ye Shuwan's first day, Jiang Yufeng specially cooked a large pot of porridge. Since he didn't know when she would wake up, he put the whole pot into his spatial storage.
Fortunately, his space can keep things warm and fresh, otherwise it would be a waste.
"That's all." Thinking of the pot of porridge in his space, Jiang Yufeng refused without any guilt.
Cheng Yan looked regretful: "Alright, Xiao Ye, you're really lucky. Our Brother Yu's cooking skills are absolutely amazing. Don't let the ordinary appearance of this porridge fool you, it tastes exceptionally good. If I could beat Brother Yu, I'd want him to be our cook every day."
Ye Shuwan glanced at Jiang Yufeng discreetly and moved the porridge closer to the center: "Then, shall we share it?"
"Okay, no need, no need, I'll just have hot pot. It's been so long since I've had hot pot, I'm really craving it."
Suddenly feeling Yu Ge's death stare, Cheng Yan was so frightened that he quickly changed his words. To prove the truth of his words, he picked up his chopsticks and stuffed a big mouthful into his mouth. It had really been a long time since he had eaten this. The more he ate, the more he got hooked, and he no longer craved that small bowl of porridge.
Jiang Yufeng pushed the bowl back: "Never mind him, you eat it yourself."
"Okay, okay." Ye Shuwan shrank her neck and obediently picked up the bowl.
Shen Yanke clearly knew when the porridge had been cooked, and raised an eyebrow with amusement. It seemed that their journey together wouldn't be too boring.
