chapter 7
Early the next morning, the Team packed up their luggage, got into the modified car, and continued heading toward Base A.
Along the way, Team members would occasionally get out to kill Zombies, dig out Crystal Cores, and enhance their Superpowers.
As humans evolved, Zombies were evolving too.
The further they went, the higher the level of Zombies they encountered.
Moreover, Zombies could never be completely wiped out, while human Superpowers, much like my Power of Linguistic Sorcery, would eventually be exhausted.
Level 2 Zombies were as easy to kill as chickens. Level 3 Zombies could be taken down with cooperation, but when facing Level 4 Zombies, the Team began to struggle. As for Level 5 Zombies, fighting them meant certain death.
I sat with my parents in the last car, which was filled with nothing but scrap metal.
Dad kept complaining about me, saying I was dragging them down.
If it weren’t for me, my younger sister wouldn’t have ignored them, and they could have ridden in the front, in a safer car.
But he forgot that he and Mom were just ordinary people.
They relied on trampling me to please my sister. If one day I was gone, who would they trample to curry favor with Chen Shu?
I closed my eyes to rest, gathering Spiritual Power, and ignored these two fools.
Suddenly, the convoy stopped, and I immediately opened my eyes.
Up ahead, Chen Shu was wiping away tears as she rushed out of the car, with Shen Ye hurrying after her, embracing her from behind.
The nearby Zombies had also become part of their play.
Oh, the Dog Couple is having a quarrel?
Curious, I poked my head out to watch the drama, just in time to hear Chen Shu’s tearful complaint: “Brother Ye, my Space needs to be upgraded. If I can absorb a Level 5 Crystal Core, it would be a huge boost to our Team’s strength. Once we get into the Base, our Team will surely receive special treatment. Maybe you could even become a high-ranking official.
“I know we can’t defeat a Level 5 Zombie right now, but if we use my sister as Bait and focus all our firepower, there’s still hope we could kill one and get a Crystal Core.
“This is just my suggestion, and yet you’re angry at me! Fine, you like my sister, so keep her. There are plenty of Ability Teams ahead. Since you don’t want me, I’ll just join them.”
Hearing the reason, I narrowed my eyes.
This woman actually wants to use me as Bait!
Shen Ye hurriedly restrained Chen Shu in his arms, kissing her repeatedly and whispering gently, “Don’t cry, Shuer. I only love you. We’ll do everything as you say.”
