Chapter 14: Powers (Part 2)

Bai Mu was absorbing the crystal core in Xiao Zui's room.

Xiao Hua observed for a while and found that Bai Mu's absorption process was going smoothly, much better than the awakening of abilities.

At this rate, it would be done in half an hour.

Xiao Hua then thought of Su Mo and went upstairs to wake her up.

Su Mo had awakened her abilities the previous day, specifically healing abilities.

However, because Bai Mu's condition was unstable yesterday and Su Mo's healing abilities were inherently weak in combat, Xiao Hua didn't let her absorb the crystal core immediately.

Now, the timing seemed perfect.

However, Xiao Hua wasn't in a hurry. She waited until Su Mo had finished washing up and eating breakfast before letting her begin the process.

Due to her physical condition and different abilities, Su Mo's speed was much slower, but it was very steady. She had a calmness that no storm could shake.

Xiao Hua was almost moved to tears; this was more like it!

Given Bai Mu's awakening, she hadn't dared to relax for a moment.

After helping Su Mo finish, Xiao Hua returned to Bai Mu's side.

Just in case something unexpected happened and he turned into a zombie, Bai Mu would be far more dangerous than Su Mo, especially since he was a dual-element user capable of invisibility.

Xiao Hua: Tired.jpg.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before Bai Mu opened his eyes, clear-headed and evidently having successfully advanced.

Seeing that Bai Mu was fully awake, Xiao Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

...

"Ladies and gentlemen, a catastrophe for humanity has arrived.

This disaster is caused by a virus carried by a meteorite from outer space. We have named this catastrophe the 'Apocalypse,' and April 1, 2021, marks the beginning of the Apocalypse Era.

The monsters outside are called zombies, and those with special abilities are called power users.

Currently, the government is building temporary bases. Please stay home and wait for rescue; the country will not abandon you!

...Comrades, this is a disaster for the entire world, a crisis for the entire world! We hope that we can stand united and face the danger together!"

The television downstairs suddenly blared the announcement, playing it repeatedly.

This broadcast was like a heavy hammer, striking those who were unwilling to accept the reality.

It also clearly stated that this was a catastrophe for all of humanity, and no one could remain uninvolved. Many people's hopes of fleeing abroad to escape were dashed.

Xiao Hua and Bai Mu exchanged glances, both very calm.

As soldiers, they had to possess good psychological qualities. Within ten minutes of the apocalypse arriving, Bai Mu had already adapted to the situation and adjusted his mindset.

Xiao Hua, who already knew the plot, wasn't going to panic at all.

Even now, it seems to be heading in a completely different direction.

Bai Mu looked at Xiao Hua, "It's 8:45 now, we still have over an hour. You can get ready first."

"Okay, give me twenty minutes." Without hesitation, Xiao Hua immediately ran upstairs.

In the bedroom, Xiao Hua thought, this wasn't really her home anyway, and there was nothing she was particularly attached to. She just needed to prepare some spare clothes.

Anyway, she was a water-type power user, and she would never lack water. She wouldn’t compromise on cleanliness.

After picking through her options, Xiao Hua only grabbed some underwear and a few light jackets.

After organizing the clothes, Xiao Hua looked at her reflection in the mirror.

There was no denying that the original owner’s natural attributes were excellent. Her black hair was smooth and thick, a feast for the eyes.

Xiao Hua admired it for a few seconds, then tied her hair into a fishbone braid, which was both stylish and practical for combat.

She had wanted to do this for a long time, but back in school, it wasn’t allowed.

When Bai Mu came upstairs and saw Xiao Hua's new hairstyle, his eyes flashed with admiration.

Regaining his composure, he looked at the few clothes Xiao Hua had packed, "Is that all? My space has expanded, it can hold a lot more."

Xiao Hua pouted helplessly, "The clothes aren’t suitable."

She knew, of course, but the original owner's clothes were really not suitable!

The original owner had dresses for every season but not a single piece of sportswear or casual wear.

Damn!

Glancing at the colorful array in Xiao Hua’s wardrobe, Bai Mu understood and smiled reassuringly, "Next time we go to the mall, you can pick out some more."

Xiao Hua considered the feasibility of the plan and asked Bai Mu, "How big is your space now?"

"As big as a large supermarket."

That big?!

Xiao Hua's eyes lit up, "Brother Bai, I have an idea—

We can empty out the small supermarket across the street."

Bai Mu: ‘...No problem.’

This girl was definitely a practical thinker.

So, Xiao Hua and Bai Mu headed to the small supermarket across the street, leaving Su Mo behind in the villa to continue absorbing.

Entering the supermarket, Xiao Hua found that each work area had a zombie, still wearing the uniform of a supermarket employee, likely former staff of the store.

The apocalypse had turned them all into zombies.

The zombies noticed the two and immediately became agitated, shuffling towards them with stiff, jerky movements.

Xiao Hua condensed ice crystals in her palm, ready to strike.

"I'll handle it," Bai Mu's gentle voice rang out as he drew the pistol from his waist and took aim.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After the gunfire, several zombies dropped, each with a dark hole in their foreheads, dead center.

Xiao Hua was speechless.

What incredible shooting skills.

After dispatching the zombies, they thoroughly cleared the supermarket. They loaded rice, flour, cooking oil, fresh meat, fruits, cooked food, and even toiletries and clothes into Bai Mu's space.

They even took the shelves along with the goods.

Before storing everything, Bai Mu even let Xiao Hua choose the items she needed, placing the clothes and toiletries she needed in a separate corner of the space.

Xiao Hua was speechless again.

Having a spacious storage is quite impressive.

It turned out that having a spacious storage was indeed a significant advantage.

Emptying the entire supermarket only filled one-third of Bai Mu's space, and that was without him making any special effort to conserve space.
