Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 150 - 22: The Drama Queen Sister Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder (Part 22)
"Sorry, there’s only one a day. You can either eat what I have left or not eat at all. If I come back tomorrow and you still can’t bring out anything, you won’t get any apples tomorrow either."
With that, Jiang Lai turned and left, leaving Lin Yan holding a book. He silently glanced at the apple on the table, hesitated for a moment, then wrapped it with a piece of paper and tossed it into the trash can.
"Waste."
Zero Base used to be a sanatorium, providing premium services to the rich, covering three thousand acres. Inside, it grew meticulously cultivated fruits and vegetables, staple grains like rice and wheat, and even before the apocalypse, it had a professionally equipped security team to protect the safety of the wealthy.
When the apocalypse broke out, this sanatorium received the news in advance and timely shut down, relying on the built-in biological cycle system to endure the first three months. After that, people within gradually awakened their superpowers.
Among them, Andre from the security team had the most powerful superpower. He then directly took over the sanatorium and transformed it into one of the safest bases in the world, Zero Base.
"I heard they don’t keep useless people inside. Former rich folks are now farming and raising pigs. Andre remembers their contributions for establishing the sanatorium, so he lets them stay. To get into the base, you either need a superpower or have some outstanding skills."
"Brother Chao, we’re okay, but what about that little girl?"
At least Lin Yan is a doctor, he might get in. But this little girl’s name is still unknown, how could the guards possibly let her in?
Before Jiang Lai could speak, the little girl next to him suddenly placed her hand on Yan Zhouxing’s arm.
"Hey... what are you doing... whoa!!"
Yan Zhouxing’s eyes widened, staring at his hand carefully, his expression exaggerated and incredulous, leaning toward Jiang Chao, almost unable to speak.
"Look, look, the wound on my hand is gone!!"
It didn’t heal; it disappeared!
Like magic, a scabbed wound vanished instantly!
Jiang Chao also stared carefully, looking astonished.
At this moment, the little girl, who seldom spoke, opened her mouth.
"I have a name, I’m called Little Eight."
Yan Zhouxing was more curious about her ability.
"Little Eight... you have a superpower, right?"
The little girl nodded.
"What type is it? Eye-blocking Technique or something else?"
"Healing."
Little Eight said the word seriously, Yan Zhouxing, as if he hadn’t understood, asked again.
"What is it?"
"Healing, I can heal you. Any illness can be cured."
After speaking, Little Eight shrank a little into Jiang Lai’s arms.
Jiang Chao and Yan Zhouxing were both stunned, unable to imagine how this seven or eight-year-old girl had such a powerful Healing Ability.
Scar vanished in seconds, without leaving a trace.
Even magicians wouldn’t dare perform such a trick.
The two vaguely felt that they had found quite a treasure.
"Then why haven’t you used your superpower before?"
Little Eight shook her head.
"I don’t want to heal them."
Yan Zhouxing pointed at Jiang Chao.
"You don’t want to heal him either?"
Little Eight immediately nodded again, admitting very straightforwardly.
"I don’t want to, everyone knowing would be very troublesome."
You couldn’t tell, but such a young child surprisingly has this kind of shrewdness; no wonder she survived in the apocalypse alone for so long.
"What about now? Why are you willing to heal me? Is it because I’m more handsome?"
"No, you’re not as good-looking as him. I just wanted to show you that I have skills."
Yan Zhouxing’s face fell, unexpectedly, the usually quiet child spoke with such bluntness, hitting straight.
At this moment, Yan Zhouxing looked at Jiang Lai.
"Did you know all along?"
Little Eight answered for her.
"Sister didn’t know, sorry sister."
Jiang Lai patted Little Eight’s head, smiling as she pinched her cheek.
"Sister isn’t angry, Sister loves Little Eight."
"That woman named Gu also always wanted me to call her sister. I didn’t want to. She gave me snacks to eat, trying to get me to go with her."
Jiang Lai knew all this, she was also curious why this girl chose her and refused to go with others. Gu Han Yan tried so many tricks but never gained even a smile from Little Eight.
"So? Why didn’t you go with her?"
"I’m not some treat. She clearly has an agenda by being nice to me; she’s a bad person, I don’t like her."
The original storyline didn’t say that.
Little Eight is simple-minded, quick to trust and easily manipulated as long as she’s made a judgment about someone, sticking stubbornly to it.
So in her first impression, Gu Han Yan was just a bad person trying to bribe her with cheap candies. Gu Han Yan also knew about her superpower, possibly the same as those bad guys before, only thinking of using her.
But Jiang Lai was different.
"Why do you like me then?"
"Because the candy you gave me was tasty, and you treated me well even without knowing I had a superpower. You’re a good person."
Jiang Lai accepted Little Eight’s highest praise without feeling guilty.
Looks like this little girl needs to see more of the world’s dangers...

At the base entrance, more than a dozen people from self-made militias were outside checking identities. Newcomers were at the smallest gate at the corner, with one of the base’s leaders personally reviewing entry qualifications.
The leader was a burly man, bald, with a fierce scar crossing his head, lying there like a black centipede. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
The scar extended from the back of his head to his left eye, causing one eye to be half-open, making his gaze particularly fierce and eerie. Coupled with that massive physique, he was like a blind bear.
Among the noisy crowd, his rough and impatient loud voice could still be heard.
"Next!!"
Jiang Lai and his group still had quite a few ahead of them. Finally, when it was almost their turn, not a single one had been allowed to stay.
"Stop lining up and leave, wasting time, ordinary superpowers aren’t desired at all!"
After cursing, a rejected superpower user left in disappointment.
It was Jiang Chao’s turn, the leader asked him to showcase his superpower; Jiang Chao didn’t hesitate, he directly gathered a fireball in his palm and casually threw it at a wall. With a loud "boom," a large hole was blasted at the wall corner; the scene of flying dust and rubble was exceptionally spectacular.
"Hmm, very good, almost an S-Class Fire Element ability, go inside and register."
Jiang Chao wasn’t in a hurry to enter; instead, he stood aside waiting for the others.
"A few of my companions came together, I’m waiting for them."
The leader looked at those behind him. Aside from one tall and strong man who seemed capable, the rest were a tall, skinny, pale man, and a woman and a child who didn’t seem to have any significant skills.
