Chapter 118 The Dodder of the Apocalyptic Powerhouse 4
(Wearing away the female lead's halo...)
Ye Shuwan's hand unconsciously went to her chest, where a necklace that the original owner had worn for eighteen years should have been, but now it was empty.
(For example, retrieving the spatial necklace.)
"Yes, that's right! I can help with that. I can retrieve small items remotely now. I'll sneakily steal the necklace while the female lead is asleep!"
The 1977 version of the light orb blinked, like a short-legged child trying to attract adults' attention.
[The store also sells high-tech products that can disconnect devices, allowing us to keep the necklace for ourselves! When the female lead wakes up and finds the necklace suddenly gone, she'll definitely be horrified, hahaha.]
(This doesn't count as taking possession; at most, it's returning the item to its rightful owner.)
Ye Shuwan raised an eyebrow with amusement, and then corrected Qi Qi's grammatical error:
(No rush, let's wait a while and have her help us collect more supplies.)
Qi Qi's voice betrayed the excitement of getting into trouble: "Hehe, great idea, free labor!"
The task of killing An Shixi could be put aside for the time being, and Ye Shuwan turned her attention back to her smooth, newly healed left arm:
(When you first arrived, how were you sure I wouldn't get infected?)
[This is a small perk, considering the timing of our arrival was quite unusual. If we were to become zombies directly, the "survive" mission would be considered a failure. So, as long as we can survive the first few days of infection, we can gain superpowers like other ability users. Speaking of which, Wanwan, we haven't chosen our cheat code yet! What do you want to choose for this little world?]
(Are there any superpowers that are inconspicuous but still very lethal? After all, my character this time is a parasitic vine, and it wouldn't be good if people thought I was too powerful.)
Ye Shuwan looked at the person in the mirror with her eyes curved in a smile. Her face was small and delicate, with long, slender eyebrows that resembled a crescent moon.
Her bright eyes turned slightly, clear and pure like autumn water; when she gently closed them, a touch of melancholy naturally appeared.
Delicate and fragile, as if it could vanish at any moment, so fragile that one dares not touch it, yet fears that it will not survive without human intervention.
No wonder so many people believed the rumors about An Shixi; the original owner of this body really did look like a kept canary.
Just now, Qiqi suddenly discovered that the light sphere could transform into other forms, as if opening the door to a new world.
At this moment, the ball of light was molded into the shape of fingers like a piece of clay, frantically sliding up and down the virtual screen:
[Got it! A psychic ability! It can be used for scouting, monitoring, interference, and even killing. A great tool for playing dumb to outsmart the enemy, a trump card for decisive victory! But it still needs to be upgraded manually, relying on crystal cores as well.]
(Okay, this is it.)
The moment she confirmed it, Ye Shuwan had a surge of energy and the method of using this ability in her mind. She tentatively spread this energy outwards, taking in everything around her.
As the distance gradually increased, once she reached the ground floor, she could vaguely sense that the maximum area she could monitor was roughly a sphere with a radius of ten meters centered on her.
If the straight-line distance were greater, one could "see" even further, just enough to "see" the four people sitting in the living room downstairs.
Just as Ye Shuwan was about to see what the fourth person who hadn't come up looked like, she met Jiang Yufeng's cold gaze.
In an instant, a sense of impending danger washed over her, startling Ye Shuwan into hastily withdrawing her supernatural power, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.
(What's with those people downstairs? The apocalypse has only been going on for less than a month, yet they seem several times stronger than the male lead, He Yan. Especially Jiang Yufeng, did he just notice me looking at him?)
[It's alright, Wanwan. You collected it quickly; he probably thought it was his imagination. Their original physical abilities were much stronger than the male lead's, so naturally they became even more powerful after awakening their abilities.]
Qiqi transformed herself into the shape of a book, rapidly flipping through the pages and stopping at a certain page, then pretending to be looking up information while reading:
[But they were in a bad situation. While passing through City C, they encountered a high-level zombie that was about to become the zombie king. Three died and one was injured. The injured Jiang Yufeng used all his strength to kill the high-level zombie and then became the zombie king himself. In the end, he killed all the high-level zombies by himself before self-destructing. Let's just say that he deserves some credit for the fact that the apocalypse ended so quickly.]
Ye Shuwan pondered for a moment: (They did save my life, after all. If they hadn't died, would it have had any impact on this world?)
The pages flipped rapidly before stopping: [As long as the apocalypse ends on schedule, that's fine. Wanwan, are you planning to save them?]
(We'll see. It would be best to avoid City C if possible. If not, I'll prioritize my safety first, then see if we can save them. If they actually survive, not only will the female lead's plot armor be weaker, but the male lead's plot armor will probably be somewhat overshadowed.)
Envisioning the future, Qiqi transformed into a tiny figure, hands on hips, laughing heartily to the sky:
[That's right! Wanwan will work hard to improve her superpower level, and we'll save them all without missing a single one. The female lead won't stand a chance then, hahaha.]
Ye Shuwan looked at Qiqi with a smile. With the increase in level, how could the cute little Qiqi of the past possibly evolve into a silly goose?
But she had already spent enough time in the room, so she could only discuss its development with her own system later.
After tidying up again, Ye Shuwan opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Jiang Yufeng's sharp, eagle-like gaze shot over.
Ye Shuwan, who had adopted the persona of a dodder vine, was so frightened that she took half a step back, hesitating whether or not she should go down.
Cheng Yan had been waiting impatiently for a while. Seeing Jiang Yufeng looking upstairs, he curiously peeked out and was overjoyed to find Ye Shuwan finally coming out: "Little Ye, come down quickly, we're having hot pot for lunch!"
Jiang Yufeng looked away, and Ye Shuwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll be right there."
When they got downstairs, Ye Shuwan saw that they had already prepared all the ingredients. She felt a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I was too slow in preparing. I won't do it again. I'll wash the dishes after we finish eating."
"Hey, what's the big deal? We finally have a place to take a bath, so we have to wash properly. Once we leave, we won't have this option anymore. Also, it's Lao He's turn to wash the dishes today, so don't even think about helping. Don't worry, it'll be your turn sooner or later. Come on, sit here."
Cheng Yan pushed Ye Shuwan and pressed her into the only empty spot, right next to Jiang Yufeng's left.
Ye Shuwan was like a frightened bird, her hands and feet stiff and unsure of what to do. She looked helplessly at Cheng Yan, hoping he could change her position.
Unfortunately, Cheng Yan didn't notice at all, and returned to his seat with great interest to enjoy the hot pot he had been looking forward to: "Finally, we can eat!"
Ye Shuwan didn't dare to ask to change seats, so she could only sit next to Jiang Yufeng restlessly, her expression inevitably showing some frustration.
Sensing Ye Shuwan's displeasure, Jiang Yufeng's aura instantly became even lower, creating a vicious cycle that made Ye Shuwan even more panicked.
Shen Yanke sat opposite the two, observing them like a spectator, and finally, when Jiang Yufeng's cold gaze swept over him, he smoothed things over by saying:
"Miss Ye, now that we're teammates, let me reintroduce us to you."
