Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 47 - Mom, I Saw Superman!

Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Mom, I Saw Superman!

“Daddy! There’s one there too!!”

“Daddy, be careful!”

“Honey, watch your right!”

“My God! We’ve been targeted too!!”

“…”

“Buzz…buzz…buzz!” A deafening sound arose in the air.

Huge swarms of mosquitoes, like black clouds, fluttered hungrily for the rare treat they had encountered.

Panic spread and grew among the migrating masses.

The road was soon filled with wailing cries and the hissing sound of mosquito repellent being sprayed.

Those repellents couldn’t kill the Blood Mosquitoes, only momentarily drive them away at best.

Whether they could hold out until they reached the official refuge, nobody knew.

Some people were also heading toward the shopping center.

Two backpackers even approached the glass doors of the cafe to look inside.

Jiang Yan was sitting in a somewhat hidden corner at this time, and with the room pitch-black, outsiders naturally couldn’t see her inside.

However, they had no intention of going in anyway.

This storefront was even hotter than one’s home, and entering it was tantamount to waiting for death.

There was no subway station here, just a two-level underground parking lot below the shopping center and a supermarket.

Jiang Yan guessed they had probably seen the high-temperature weather forecast for the coming days on their phones and had come here temporarily to take shelter underground.

After a while, there were fewer people outside.

Jiang Yan judged that the time was about right and stood up, taking a bulky, jet-powered flight suit out of Space and donning it over her large insulation clothes.

This flight suit weighed sixty kilograms, heavier than her own weight by more than ten kilograms.

Wearing it was like having a man strapped to her back.

Only because her physical condition had improved, otherwise, with today’s cumbersome outfit, she would have been immobile.

Jiang Yan had just put away the U-lock on the door when she saw a few dried-up corpses lying on the tiles outside the glass door twitching.

A chill went through her heart:

Could it be that they were turning into zombies?

And this wasn’t a movie or a novel, after all.

During her puzzlement, a swarm of half-finger-length, fully transformed juvenile mosquitoes burst through the skin of the corpses.

To be exact, they wriggled out from the necks, faces, mouths, and even the bellies of the dried-out corpses.

“!!!!” Jiang Yan’s pupils contracted, and she inhaled instinctively.

Mosquitoes usually lay their eggs on the surface of the water, with each female mosquito laying 50-500 eggs at a time.

But after the high temperatures, the city’s ponds, rivers, and various lakes had almost dried up.

Jiang Yan had wondered how these mosquitoes survived and bred.

Now it seemed the mystery was solved.

All hosts that had been drained of blood by the Blood Mosquitoes, whether humans or animals, became the breeding grounds for their eggs and their transformation.

Jiang Yan felt a cold sweat all over her body.

Fortunately, those juvenile mosquitoes were probably not as aggressive as the adults.

She patiently waited a while longer, and when the swarm of juveniles also buzzed away, she finally opened the door and stepped out.

The flight suit’s directional control was manipulated by arm movements that controlled the jet streams.

Thus her hands now held neither an electric mosquito swatter nor repellent.

Empty.

But, generally, mosquitoes can only fly as high as six stories.

As long as she flew quickly above the seventh floor, the number of mosquitoes would drastically decrease.

Of course, the possibility that the mutated mosquitoes had stronger flying power couldn’t be ruled out.

But as long as she flew fast and high enough, they couldn’t catch up with her.

Even so, Jiang Yan wasn’t in a hurry.

She methodically activated the flight suit’s power switch, testing the stability of her aerial hover just half a meter off the ground.

Once she was sure there were no errors, she gradually increased the jet power.

With the increase of the jet stream, Jiang Yan quickly ascended to the space above the seventh floor and then slowly flew toward Shallow Bay at a 45-degree angle.

Soon.

Eighth floor.

Ninth floor.

…

The ravaged urban area was becoming more distant from her.

Jiang Yan’s flying altitude was gradually increasing.

After passing by an old residential area, she would reach Shallow Bay.

She wasn’t afraid of being spotted.

After all, with her fully armed, bizarre look, there was no fear of recognition.

However, she still hovered mid-air to observe for a moment before arriving at Shallow Bay.

By this point, people in the buildings should have moved to the underground parking garage.

The houses were pitch black, without a sliver of light to be seen.

It was like a lone Ghost City standing there.

As Jiang Yan flew past the old residential area near Shallow Bay, in a seventh-floor room, a pale and weak little girl suddenly opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

The girl, about three or four years old, was wearing a nearly new pink Barbie princess dress.

On her head was a delicate and exquisite rhinestone tiara, with a charming little bracelet hanging from her chillingly cold little hand.

At the moment, her parents were resting quietly beside her, neatly dressed as well.

Her mother wore a pretty pale yellow floral dress and had carefully applied makeup.

Her father had shaved his beard cleanly and even combed his hair with hair oil.

Sadly, the temperature was too high.

Her mother’s makeup had run, and her father’s hair oil was damp.

Two empty medication bottles sat on the bedside table…

“What’s wrong, Nannan? Are you feeling unwell?”

Feeling her daughter stirring, Zhang Xue tried to force her heavy eyelids open a bit.

“Daddy, Mommy, I’m so hot, but I saw Superman, yeah!”

The child’s eyes shone like two bright stars in the night, full of innocence and curiosity, and she gently tugged at her parents’ hands, speaking in a sweet voice.

“Superman?” Her father, Zhao Lei, also opened his eyes, gazing silently at his wife with red-rimmed eyes.

“Yeah. He flew by just now.” The girl tried to lift her small face, speaking earnestly.

But after only a couple of sentences, she felt her breathing become rapid.

With tears in her eyes, her mother tilted slightly and planted a heavy kiss on her daughter’s forehead, whispering softly,

“Nannan, go to sleep. Ah, the magic will work only when you’re asleep, and then we can not only see Superman but also meet many little elves that will come for us!”

“Wow! Mommy, can the little elves cure my illness? I really don’t want to go to the hospital for injections anymore; it hurts so much.”

“Yes, the little elves have a lot of magic and can fulfill Nannan’s wishes!”

“Mommy, do the little elves have big air conditioners at home, so Daddy and Mommy won’t suffer as much?”

“Yes.” Zhang Xue’s nose tingled, and she choked without being able to speak.

She turned slightly to wipe away her tears secretly.

“Mommy, can I meet Peppa, George, and Doraemon in the Magic Castle?”

“Yes! Of course! Whoever you want to meet, you will!” Zhang Xue used the last of her strength, declaring with certainty.

“Then I want to be friends with George and Peppa, and I want to borrow a bunch of stuff from Doraemon; then, just like the Superman just now, take Daddy and Mommy flying all over the world!”

“Don’t worry, Nannan, all your dreams can come true!” Zhao Lei bit through the quilt, his eyes red and voice choked.

“Daddy, Mommy, I’m so hot and sleepy. I’m going to sleep first. I love you. You have to follow, or the magic won’t work together. I really want to enter the Magic Castle with Mommy and Daddy, hand in hand.”

The girl’s voice grew fainter, and her little hand, originally clutching her parents’, slowly slid away.

“Daddy and Mommy love you, too.” Zhang Xue tried to speak, but she was overwhelmed by an endless drowsiness.

“Mmhmm, Nannan, you sleep first, Daddy and Mommy love you, too!” Zhao Lei used his last bit of strength to pull his wife and daughter, who had already closed their eyes, tightly into his embrace.

The next second, the six-foot-tall man was buried in the blankets, weeping silently.
