Chapter 272: Queen of the Apocalypse (11) Fourth Watch of the Night
Wo Qi had never thought Su Mu would reach Second-rank, after all, the strongest in their team, Ye Shaohua, hardly ever went outside. freeweɓnøvel.com
The others didn’t have much combat power.
She simply wanted to let off some steam.
Hearing Wo Qi’s words, Su Mu didn’t speak, just turned her gaze toward the somewhat mysterious Sui Yun, "Boss, what plant do you want me to expedite the growth of?"
Sui Yun pointed at the seed bag beside her, "To what extent can you expedite it?"
Su Mu glanced at it, next to it was a plant that had been expedited to bloom, which he didn’t recognize.
"I’ll give it a try," Su Mu said eagerly.
These past few days Ye Shaohua had taught him a lot about the usage of wood-based superpowers.
The people in the vehicle knew that Su Mu was just a First-rank Superpower User and didn’t hold out much hope, but they were taken aback when he picked up the flowerpot and expedited the species with ease, managing to get it to blossom without showing any signs of exhaustion.
The last green fruit formed on the spot.
Su Mu didn’t hide his ability in the slightest; Wo Qi’s Second-rank Superpower Users managed to get to blooming, while he took it directly to fruiting.
The others in the vehicle stood up with a "whoosh" and bumped their heads on the roof of the car.
"Mist Grass, Su Mu, what level are you now?" someone familiar with Su Mu asked.
Su Mu spoke indifferently, "Not that much, just Third-rank I guess."
Wo Qi and that Second-rank Superpower User were stunned like petrified chickens.
Everyone was aware of Su Mu’s ability; he was just First-rank before, and now he had leapfrogged Second-rank and gone directly to Third-rank!
Aside from Sui Yun, even Wo Qi didn’t have that sort of ability!
It was around this time that every member of Ye Shaohua’s team reached Third-rank, and even a few ordinary people, though lacking superpowers, had combat abilities not lower than those of Second-rank Superpower Users.
Like a bulldozer, they passed through a town, and the Third-rank Zombies had no way to escape.
"Apocalyptic Bulldozer" was thus established, and the Zombies wished they could flee over a hundred kilometers away, so ferociously that it struck fear into people’s hearts.
And the independent Superpower Users who had followed Sui Yun to Jing City all tried every method possible to join Ye Shaohua’s team.
While they couldn’t compare with Su Ran and the others, their progress was also incredibly fast.
The Jing City Safety Base had long known about the existence of Ye Shaohua, especially after learning that she could cure a portion of the Zombie virus and even produce satellite phones.
The Cerebral Superpower User scientist at the Safety Base realized that she was also a Cerebral Superpower User, and far more powerful than himself.
He insisted that the Sui Family invite her over by any means.
No one understood better than that scientist just how terrifying Cerebral Superpower Users could be.

Meanwhile, at the Jing City Safety Base.
"Team Leader Qiu, we’ve come to inquire about some news." Ye Changming cautiously handed over the cigarettes he had collected at great sacrifice to Team Leader Qiu, "Do you have any news about my daughter and my niece?"
After the apocalypse began, Ye’s father and mother were in Jing City.
Jing City had immediately established a safety base.
Fortuitously, Ye Changming and Ye’s mother had both awakened power-based superpowers and had been recruited by a Superpower User squadron, accompanying them on missions.
The couple knew their own strength was weak and they were incapable of venturing out, so they asked the team leader to look for news of Ye Shaohua and Ye Xiangxiang.
"News isn’t so easy to come by," Team Leader Qiu took the cigarettes and pushed Ye Changming impatiently, "Can you stop bothering me?"
Ye Changming was merely a power-based Superpower User and also lacked energy cores.
Months had passed since the apocalypse, and he was still a low-grade First-rank Superpower User; Team Leader Qiu, on the verge of peaking at First-rank, pushed him so hard that he stumbled and fell to the ground.
Team Leader Qiu didn’t leave, just lit a cigarette and glanced at him, "But seeing as you’ve given me these cigarettes, I’ll remind you that you haven’t paid rent in two days. If you don’t pay soon, you’ll be kicked out of the safety base."
The Safety Base wasn’t a place just anyone could stay; one had to pay rent to live there.
Rent during the apocalypse was simple, not the money of the past, but resources—water, food, energy cores—anything would do.
Ye Changming’s face changed, and he suddenly remembered something, turning around and rushing back.
Ye’s mother had caught a cold yesterday and had been lying in bed. Medicine was most precious during the apocalypse and could only be exchanged for energy cores.
Ye Changming had fought for a whole day outside yesterday and hadn’t managed to obtain a single energy core, injuring himself in the process.
Upon returning, he saw a crowd of people stopped outside the door of the tiny room that could only fit one bed; Ye Changming’s heart sank.
He hurriedly squeezed inside to see that Ye’s mother had been thrown out the door.
"What a joke, looking for your daughter?" The man in black pointed at Ye’s mother and the returning Ye Changming, snorting with scorn, "Looking at the state of you two, your daughter was probably eaten by the Zombies long ago."
He picked up the only two remaining packs of black bread on the table, and then snatched the jade from Ye’s mother’s neck, "We’ll take these two packs of bread."
"Brother Biao, my wife is still sick, please leave these two packs of black bread for her..." Ye Changming was unable to go on missions right now due to his injury.
On a normal day, the couple would give all their supplies to Team Leader Qiu in exchange for news about Ye Shaohua and Ye Xiangxiang.
If they lost the two packs of black bread now, Ye’s mother, who was still sick, wouldn’t be able to survive.
"Forget it, don’t fight over it, let him have it," Ye’s mother said in a low voice. She felt Brother Biao and his men’s heavy disdain and immediately pulled Ye Changming back. They were the lowest-grade Superpower Users in the Jing City Safety Base.
And the most useless power-based ones at that.
With their advanced age and greatly deteriorated physical functions, anyone from the safety base could trample them underfoot.
Now that it was the apocalypse, things were not as lawful and orderly as they had been during peace times.
If Brother Biao were to kill them, nobody would trouble him for it.
"But..." Ye Changming lowered his head, his dissatisfaction evident.
"Changming, Brother Biao is a Second-rank Superpower User," Ye’s mother gave a bitter smile, "The entire Safety Base only has so many Second-rank Superpower Users; crushing us to death would be like stepping on an ant. I haven’t seen Shaohua and Xiangxiang yet; don’t worry, I won’t die that easily."
During such times, they could only endure.
Seeing Ye’s father and mother give in, Brother Biao grinned, laughing with a sneer.
Just then, all the people in Jing City Base suddenly rushed in one direction with a commotion.
Brother Biao grabbed someone and asked, "What’s going on?"
The man, recognizing Brother Biao, wasn’t angry but instead excitedly said, "The ’Apocalyptic Bulldozer’ and Boss Yun are just outside the gate!"
