Special Agent Rebirth: The Omnipotent Goddess of Quick Transmigration-Chapter 264: Queen of the Apocalypse (4) First Watch of the Night

Chapter 264: Queen of the Apocalypse (4) First Watch of the Night

Ye Shaohua felt the gaze upon her.

It was Gu Yuan and the others.

Their eyes were filled with murderous hatred.

And Ye Shaohua couldn’t understand either, why Su Ran would choose her, an encumbrance, over three experts like them.

Wasn’t this seeking death?

Su Ran didn’t plan to stay there any longer.

Taking advantage of the apocalypse’s outbreak, when all the routes were still open, he wanted to get to Jing City as soon as possible.

"Let’s take National Highway 91," Su Ran pointed to the map and said to the people in the team, "we’ll pass by a few towns on the way and can collect supplies."

"Xiangxiang, are you really not coming with us?" the man in military uniform from last night asked.

He was frowning, somewhat puzzled by Su Ran’s insistence; Ye Shaohua, along with her dear friends Xu Qi, refused to come with them.

"No," Ye Xiangxiang directly shook her head, "Qi Feng, are you heading towards Fengcheng Town?"

"That’s right." Qi Feng looked at the three with some regret.

Although they were just ordinary students, their ability to fight zombies was exceptionally strong.

Losing these three strong people was a significant loss for the team.

When Qi Feng said that, Ye Xiangxiang wanted to say more but was interrupted by Gu Yuan, "Then you should hurry on your way."

Qi Feng didn’t notice anything wrong and nodded to them before leaving.

Ye Xiangxiang swallowed the words she was about to say.

Su Ran chose to take National Highway 91 because there were fewer people in the villages along the way, and potentially fewer zombies as well.

But Ye Xiangxiang and the others knew that Fengcheng Town would witness the first and biggest wave of zombies in a few days.

In their previous life, they had narrowly escaped death on the outskirts, and this time, with Su Ran choosing that route and even bringing Ye Shaohua along...

Only the other route was the safest to get to Jing City, and they might even encounter the army retreating to Jing City on the way.

Ye Xiangxiang and her friends knew all this very well.

Initially, they had planned to discuss with Su Ran about taking that safer route, which would allow for collecting more supplies.

But now that Su Ran had chosen to bring Ye Shaohua, they would absolutely not let her know about it—they didn’t want her to get that advantage.

Ye Xiangxiang wanted to warn them about the impending zombie wave, but she remembered how Ye Shaohua had led to her death in their previous life.

So, she didn’t say a word.

Ye Shaohua was just a normal person; she wouldn’t survive the zombie tide.

With that thought, Ye Xiangxiang breathed a sigh of relief.

In this life, Ye Shaohua certainly couldn’t harm any of them again.

No one knew Ye Shaohua better than they did. Su Ran bringing Ye Shaohua was tantamount to suicide; his team wouldn’t make it to the safe base in Jing City.

Pity that Su Ran was too arrogant. Thinking of this, Ye Xiangxiang’s look toward Su Ran turned scornful.

That’s how Su Ran from the first safe base in their previous life had been, hadn’t he?

"Team Leader Su, when you go out, could you find a crystal nucleus for me?" Ye Shaohua, considered "too weak," was left at a resting spot.

Qi Feng glanced at Ye Shaohua irritably, "Are you like Ye Xiangxiang? Seeing the crystal nucleus and wanting to collect it because it looks nice? If you want one, go outside and kill zombies yourself."

While speaking, a young woman handling food distribution tossed a biscuit casually towards Ye Shaohua.

This young woman, also an ordinary person, was responsible for the team’s food; her name was Weiwei.

Ordinarily, when the superpower users in the team got injured, she would also help treat them.

Including Ye Shaohua, there were five ordinary people in the team.

These five knew they were just normal humans and were very diligent, especially the other three men.

When Qi Feng and the others went out to gather supplies, they would also follow.

Only Ye Shaohua did nothing, making these four ordinary people very alienated from her.

Su Ran didn’t speak, but he pulled a zombie crystal nucleus out of his pocket and gave it to Ye Shaohua, "Here you go."

Seeing Ye Xiangxiang collect the crystal nuclei, Su Ran knew that woman wouldn’t just collect them because they looked nice.

So, when he defeated zombies, he kept one or two as well.

"Team Leader!" Qi Feng, seeing what Su Ran was doing, couldn’t help but speak urgently.

In the evening, Ye Shaohua nibbled on a biscuit and began to study the crystal nucleus Su Ran had given her.

In fact, from the apocalypse to this day, she had already analyzed the materials in these few worlds.

The air had extra elements, and those who had "awakened" superpowers had also been infected successfully, able to control these elements through their spiritual power.

For example, Su Ran could control thunder and fire elements.

When Ye Shaohua realized this, she almost laughed.

Controlling the elements in the air with spiritual power was like playing with "spiritual power."

Absorbing the energy from the zombie nuclei was a discovery people made only six months after the apocalypse in the previous life, and though Ye Shaohua didn’t know how to absorb it,

her Spiritual Power was freakishly strong, allowing her to quickly figure it out.

Without tools at hand, she would have investigated it even more thoroughly.

The next morning,

Su Ran didn’t rush to trigger the event but wanted to gather more resources. Before leaving, she called out to Ye Shaohua, "If you want to follow us, from today on, you have to go out and search for supplies too."

Ye Shaohua also wanted to collect some parts, so she didn’t object, "Okay."

Weiwei, who had been initially hostile, looked at Ye Shaohua with a sudden wave of sympathy upon hearing Su Ran’s words.

Qi Feng and the baby-faced one were both Superpower Users; upon hearing Su Ran’s remark, their faces turned extremely dark.

Not just him, but the other Superpower Users as well.

They glanced at Ye Shaohua’s slender arms, her clear and pale face, so out of place in the apocalypse, and the thought of such a pampered Young Lady following them...

However, within half a day, Ye Shaohua unexpectedly didn’t slow them down despite having only a dagger.

Always behind Su Ran and the others, she must have known she was too weak and didn’t want to cause trouble for anyone else.

She even found a bottle of water and killed a small zombie, extracting a nucleus.

"Shaohua, not bad," the baby-faced one said, surprised at how lucky Ye Shaohua was to have killed a small zombie so fortuitously.

In fact, seeing how self-aware Ye Shaohua was, not running around aimlessly, the team members warmed up to her a bit.

Ye Shaohua unscrewed the bottle, beginning to rinse the blood from the nucleus, "It’s luck."

No one else objected to that statement.

It was indeed luck.

But seeing Ye Shaohua use the only water to wash her hands after obtaining the nucleus,

Qi Feng and the others scoffed coldly and didn’t wish to speak about Ye Shaohua anymore.

Along the way, Qi Feng had advised Su Ran more than ten times to leave Ye Shaohua behind, but Su Ran had not agreed.

In the apocalypse, water was precious, and she truly was a Young Lady raised in luxury!

The group rested at the supermarket entrance for a while, and after Ye Shaohua rinsed her hands, she looked towards the building ahead, her eyes narrowing slightly.

A minute later, Su Ran suddenly stood up, threw a Fireball,

hitting a zombie squarely.

Unexpectedly, a wall of earth rose directly in front of that zombie.

There were several other zombies beside it, one with exceptional speed, and one that could use fire like Su Ran, only that its Fireball was several times bigger than Su Ran’s.

"We have zombies with Superpowers!" Su Ran’s expression changed, "Quick, everyone get in the car, we need to get out of here!"

Without needing Su Ran’s instruction, the team members moved quickly.

Fear surged in their hearts; they hadn’t caught up with the main forces but had heard broadcasts from Jing City, knowing zombies could evolve, even becoming more formidable than humans.

Just yesterday, South City had been besieged by a horde of zombies, and almost everyone in the city perished.

The zombies surrounding them became increasingly numerous, encircling them tightly.

"Don’t move! Everyone, don’t you dare move!" Su Ran immediately halted, his usually calm voice trembling for the first time.

However, one team member couldn’t stop in time; as soon as they stepped out, they were hit by a Fireball, then bitten in the neck by an incredibly fast zombie.

The others realized that stepping out of the supermarket spelled death.

They had never seen so many zombies before, and some couldn’t help but collapse to the ground, engulfed by despair and fear.

The last city surrounded by zombies, South City, had become a Dead City, even with an army.

And they were just a group of people, likely all about to meet their end here.

Su Ran turned his head, only to see Ye Shaohua leaning against the wall, still idly toying with the nucleus she had just obtained, her expression incredibly calm. Her eyes were as tranquil as ever, as if facing not a horde of zombies but a bunch of radishes and cabbages.

Seeing Ye Shaohua like this, Su Ran finally confirmed his suspicions.

That kind of demeanor definitely didn’t belong to a Young Lady who grew up sheltered as Ye Xiangxiang and the others claimed.

"Miss Ye, do you perhaps have a plan?" Su Ran looked towards Ye Shaohua.

Qi Feng’s back was soaked with sweat, and his eyes nearly showed the color of despair. Hearing Su Ran’s words, he managed a forced smile, "Team Leader, you’re still in the mood to joke at a time like this."

Even though they were reluctant, Qi Feng and the others knew there was no way out.

Watching Su Ran, Ye Shaohua couldn’t help but sigh and then moved to the front of the team.

Last night, she had already experimented with the nature of the apocalypse’s superpowers, which all relied on Spiritual Power.

To put it bluntly, it was driven by Spiritual Power.

While she had only awakened the Cerebral Superpower, the baby-faced one had confirmed over the past two days that she didn’t possess Attack-type superpowers, completely giving up on her.

But unexpectedly, the very essence of this apocalypse rested on Spiritual Power.

Not to mention anything else; after so many worlds, when it came to playing with Spiritual Power—

she was the Ancestor!
