Chapter 287 - 284: How Could She Pass Up Such an Opportunity?

Chapter 287: Chapter 284: How Could She Pass Up Such an Opportunity?

Chen Xing was speechless. ’I was just making a dark joke to build some suspense. It’s not like I’m completely out of options.’

’They reacted way too fast!’

Chen Xing was incredibly frustrated.

’Now I’ll have to use up even more of my already dwindling superpower.’

’I could have waited a bit longer to treat his zombie infection, but now... Great. Saving him has to come first.’

Chen Xing struggled to push through the crowd of sobbing Superpower Users, who had gathered around the comrade who’d sacrificed himself for them. She finally managed to grab his hand.

As her Healing Ability flowed into his body, he slowly opened his eyes.

When he saw that Chen Xing was saving him, he struggled desperately to break free.

"Don’t waste my energy!" Chen Xing said sternly.

She really was running low on energy.

Besides, the air in here was getting dangerously thin.

’I have to save him first, then figure out how to get everyone out of here.’

All the soldiers had chosen to save their comrades, ready to live or die together.

’The Song Family Army really is different from other units.’

By the time she had revived the man and purged the zombie virus, Chen Xing had collapsed onto the ground.

This was the first time she had ever experienced such complete exhaustion.

She hadn’t been this tired even after fighting that plant monster for hours.

One of the Superpower Users helped Chen Xing over to a wall and sat her down.

Chen Xing quickly entered her space and drank some of the spring water.

While she was at it, she created a crude pipe connecting her space to the earthen cavern they were trapped in, increasing the oxygen supply.

The pipe was hidden behind her, so no one noticed.

Everyone had been feeling the air getting thin, but they slowly found it becoming much easier to breathe.

Another half hour passed. Everyone found it strange. Why was it getting more and more comfortable?

Had the air ever felt this refreshing?

Of course it was.

’This air is a product of my space, after all.’

Once she had rested enough, Chen Xing felt she had recovered about eighty percent of her energy.

Everyone was stunned once again.

Normally, after a person completely depleted their superpower, it would take several days to recover.

But Chen Xing had done it in just half an hour?

Little did they know that when Chen Xing’s consciousness entered her space, the time that passed inside was much longer than just half an hour.

After retracting the ventilation pipe behind her, Chen Xing stood up.

When she led the large group back to the surface, everything was eerily quiet.

It looked like the zombie horde had retreated.

Chen Xing led them toward the airport on foot.

She had more cars than she could count in her space, but it would obviously be unwise to reveal one now.

’The airport is less than twenty kilometers away, anyway. Everyone can just tough it out and walk.’

The Superpower Users had good stamina, and they kept up a decent pace.

They covered ten kilometers in less than an hour.

Just then, they ran into several vehicles that Song Yiguo had sent.

Apparently, Song Yiguo hadn’t left after reaching the airport.

He had been waiting for a long time.

He was confident that with Chen Xing there, the team would be fine.

However, since their vehicle was destroyed, they would certainly have to travel on foot.

So, he had sent a few people out in cars to try their luck.

And just like that, they found them.

Chen Xing didn’t go with them, telling them to leave on their own.

’That old fox, Song Yiguo... If he found out I’m a Healing Ability User, he’d stop at nothing to keep me.’ ℯℯ𝘭.

The Superpower Users tried to persuade her to come, but they couldn’t change her mind and had no choice but to let her go.

Just half an hour later, Chen Xing received a call from Song Yiguo.

Unsurprisingly, he began his attempt to win her over, showering her with praise.

"Contact me anytime your team needs help!" Chen Xing had no desire to be tied down to one place. "As long as it’s somewhere a plane can fly, I can be there within a few hours!"

The current zombie virus was still potent, but most people were Superpower Users now, with much stronger physiques.

So, if they were bitten by a zombie, it was possible to resist turning for several hours or even days.

Waiting for Chen Xing to arrive wouldn’t be an issue.

Song Yiguo knew that once he let her go, finding her again would be difficult.

If she were right in front of him, he could have used various methods to make her stay.

’Forget it.’

’I’ll just have to find another chance.’

And so, he returned directly to the Capital City.

The trip had been fairly successful; he had managed to kill Lu Bingtian.

’As for Yu Laosan...’

’I’ll need to plan that out carefully.’

The reason Chen Xing hadn’t left the south yet was because of the person who had used Vajra Thorns to pierce the car she was in.

It was obvious they were after her.

’After that display of my life-saving abilities, they probably want me even more.’

’So, bring it on... Who’s afraid of who?’

’Trying to harm me with Vajra Thorns?’

She had been studying superpowers quite a bit lately.

For instance, Gold Attribute Superpower Users could generally only control iron at first.

As they leveled up, the range of materials they could control expanded.

They could control things like aluminum alloys, gold, and silver... To freely manipulate something like Vajra Thorns, one would probably need a Level Six Superpower.

’My Gold Attribute Superpower is also at Level Six now. If I absorb this Level Six Superpower User, I can reach the Seventh Level.’

’Judging by their formation, there must be quite a few people with high Superpower Levels on their team.’

’How could I pass up such a golden opportunity?’

Chen Xing drove a car given to her by Song Yiguo’s team, cruising along slowly.

But her pursuers never showed themselves.

Chen Xing didn’t head in the direction of the North Sea.

The previous zombie horde had likely come from that direction.

On her way north, she chose a city to enter.

It was less of a city and more of a small town, with only a few five-story buildings.

After entering one of the buildings, Chen Xing slipped into her residence dimension.

Since her enemies hadn’t found her yet, she took the opportunity to eat a good meal and get some sleep.

While in her residence dimension, she could block out all external disturbances if she wished.

However, if she chose not to, it was just like being outside.

She could accurately perceive all the sounds around her.

A few hours later, Chen Xing heard the sound of people approaching.

’Sounds like there are a lot of them, too.’

Chen Xing didn’t mind.

’In fact, the more Superpower Users, the better.’

She emerged from her space and deliberately made some noise.

Soon, a vanguard of a dozen or so people found her room.

Before they even entered, Chen Xing smelled a strange odor.

However, Chen Xing had already put on a gas mask and had even popped into her space for a moment to clear her head.

Hearing no movement, the Superpower Users assumed Chen Xing had been knocked unconscious and boldly entered the room.

Where was she? The room was completely empty.

It was just a dilapidated room, clearly unfit for anyone to be living in.

The dozen or so people exchanged confused glances.

With a flick of her hand, Chen Xing siphoned the superpowers from all dozen of them into her body.

After absorbing their superpowers, Chen Xing tossed them directly into a black vortex.

’I’m really starting to like this mysterious vortex,’ she thought. ’It’s the perfect way to kill someone and get rid of the body.’

The Superpower Users waiting outside heard nothing from their comrades and didn’t know what was happening.

Chen Xing wasn’t in a hurry.

She would just wait for them to take the bait, one by one.

’A dozen at a time is perfect. It’s completely risk-free.’

Just as she was waiting for the next group to take the bait, she suddenly sensed something was wrong.

It was an incredibly powerful will, making Chen Xing feel as if her body was no longer her own. Her mind felt like it was about to be completely overtaken.
