Quick Transmigrating Second Female Lead’s Counterattack-Chapter 201
“That Ming XunMi has gone too far! When you restore your abilities, she’ll definitely come back one day on her knees begging you.” He skillfully turned the object of her hatred around. That way, he can just sit and collect the profits.
Ming XunMi. It’s all because of you. If not because of you, how could I have fallen so low? Her fingers dug into the palms of her hands, leaving red marks.
Yu WenBo smiled with satisfaction. That’s right. Continue hating her. The more wrapped up in hatred she was, the easier Ming Mei was to control.
The man in glasses quickly brought back the energy stones that they had been hoarding. He slowly handed the box over to Ming Mei, a bit unwilling. But he understood where his priorities should be at. They still need to protect their future chance to safety. Sacrificing a few energy stones was nothing.
Ming Mei relaxed in relief when she saw the energy stones. She began absorbing the energy. Luckily her own energy stone hadn’t shattered. She could use this quick but not safe way to restore her abilities.
Soon, two days passed. Ming Mei’s healing abilities finally reappeared. She could now heal little wounds made by knives. Yet this was enough to give others hope. Yu WenBo and his group were excited. Now, they could curse out the military group that had left them behind.
Ming Mei also confidently looked forward to the future. She knew that all those hardships had only been tests. As long as she passed them, she would become king.
XunMi and her dear husband were busy trying to hack open a lock. They had finally found the hidden granary. But this place was frustrating. Where was the electronic password? What was the point of using such a large old-fashioned lock? They were two heavy locks, laying on the ground made entirely out of gold. The two couldn’t use their abilities because XunMi was able to detect explosives buried behind the door. As soon as the door was damaged, it would trigger the alarm. The self-destruct system would be set off.
Therefore, the three could only pitifully knock on the door. Since they couldn’t even use their abilities, they were afraid they might accidentally touch the alarm system behind the door.
“Ming ge, This won’t do. With this method, we would be doing this until the end of time.” Ling Chen sat with his legs spread on the ground, holding pliers in one hand. Next to him were wrenches, saws, and screwdrivers.
Ye MingYe was in the same position. He sat on the other side, studying the other lock.
XunMi sat with her butt on the top of the weight part of the golden lock. She leaned onto the door, trying to peer in through the gap. All she could see was a sea of black. She lowered her head down with a sigh. When would this be over? No key, couldn’t explode it, couldn’t use force. The only thing she could think of was to use something that could dissolve it into nothingness.
Wait. Dissolve. Why didn’t she think of it sooner? She quickly opened her space market. Things that she purchased before in different worlds would still appear under the Purchased category. XunMi remembered that she had bought a bottle of dissolving solvent for the XuanYuan world that hadn’t been used up. It had been able to counter such strong demon energy so it should be able to break through this door and lock, right?
Forget it. The dead horse will be the live horse’s doctor {T/N basically meaning resorting to any last source to treat a problem}.
She found the bottle of solvent with about 200cc still left in it. XunMi pulled it out and waved towards the other two. “MingYe, Ling Chen get out of the way. I’m going to see if this works or not.” After stepping back into the safe zone, XunMi poured the liquid onto the lock, weight, and the door in between them. Ssssss….kkkkk….
White bubbles immediately burst out, making a simmering sound.
XunMi jumped up with glee. This actually worked!
Ye MingYe placed the tools back into his space inventory and walked to XunMi’s side. He didn’t ask where she got her mysterious liquid.
Ling Chen, on the other hand, was curious. When the two locks were dissolved, the door unlocked. The lock column had been at least 50% dissolved when the solvent lost its effect. He went up to investigate and peek around. What a powerful thing!
So useful! “XunMi, where did you get this? I want some!”
“I got this from a hospital research lab. There was no harm in collecting it so I took it. There was only this one bottle. When we get to B city, we can ask those researchers and see if they could remake it. I think it’s useful too.” XunMi lied without skipping a beat.
Ling Chen nodded. If there was more of this high quality dissolvent, those zombies should get ready to be scared shitless.
“Alright, let’s get down to business.” Ye MingYe patted XunMi’s head. He walked forward to clear up obstacles in their way. He carefully pushed aside the large heavy door, avoiding the scanning sensor/detector.
Seeing the entire warehouse filled with grains, they were all happy. Food!
They opened a few to take a look inside. Everything had been preserved pretty well.
The three separated to shove as much as they could into their space inventories. Ling Chen was in charge of taking a few bags out for their own daily usage. He changed the packaging of these bags and separated out the amount they needed to pay to get into B city. They had met some small groups of those with abilities, and groups of hunters. From them, they had learned about B city’s situation and system. Just like the last life, Ming family had become one of the big powers. It was mainly because Ming family’s eldest Ming Liang gained wind abilities and had reached level two.
XunMi had thought of whether or not to find Ming family after entering B city. But she really didn’t want to see those people’s faces.
After collecting the food, the three didn’t bother cleaning up the granary. They got into their car and left.
Two months later, when Song ZiQian charged past zombies and other obstacles to get to the granary, he was met with a spotlessly empty room.
He finally understood what XunMi meant when she had told him “don’t be too serious.” He couldn’t do anything but head back without anything. He was berated at by the old leeches at B city for his efforts, affectively laying the seeds to his resistance sentiments. But that was all talk of the future.
Song ZiQian had just dropped off the surviving citizens at the front doors of the camp base, where they lined up to undergo examination. Before Song ZiQian even had the time to sit down, he was called over to plan how to get rid of the zombies surrounding the parameters of the base. His extermination project continued for half a month.
When XunMi and Ye MingYe arrived at base, they coincidentally missed the opportunity to see Leader Song. However, they ran smack into Ming Mei. Her originally bald head had already been replaced by long wavy brown hair.
She still wore her long white dress. Her face was fresh and well-rounded, As soon as she appeared, she captured the attention of many around her. Lustful, greedy, disdainful, and envious eyes all fell on her. If there hadn’t been XunMi, Ming Mei would have become the apple of everyone’s eye.
Unfortunately, XunMi came first.
