Special Agent Rebirth: The Omnipotent Goddess of Quick Transmigration-Chapter 271: Queen of the Apocalypse (10) Third Watch of the Night
Chapter 271: Queen of the Apocalypse (10) Third Watch of the Night
Weiwei didn’t know what Qi Feng and Su Ran were up to, but she obediently pulled out her phone anyway.
Wo Qi and Sui Yun’s subordinates were shocked to see Weiwei, a menial worker, take out a regular phone.
What mattered most was when Sui Yun dialed the contact station in Jing City, it actually went through?
After informing everyone of this, Sui Yun returned the phone to Weiwei.
A crowd had already gathered around, all aware of the preciousness of satellite phones. Seeing that a commoner like Weiwei had one seemed... to be much better than the one Wo Qi, who always boasted, had.
The bustling atmosphere suddenly came to a halt.
"You, you, you... how do you have this?" The first to ask was the woman who had explained to Weiwei how precious phones with an uncertain signal were.
At these words, Weiwei said very calmly, "We each have one, is that strange?"
Is that strange?
Isn’t it strange?!
A group of scientists in Jing City had been researching for a long time just to develop this batch of phones that could connect.
How many people would be willing to trade countless resources but couldn’t get one, and they have one for every person and still ask if it’s strange?!
At that moment, whether they were commoners or superpower users, they all felt like pinning those people to the ground and giving them a thrashing.
I’ve never seen anyone so deserving of a beating!
Su Ran smiled, "It’s because Lady Ye was afraid we’d be bored, so she casually made these for us to play Dou Dizhu."
Someone who knew the ropes looked at Ye Shaohua and asked hesitantly, "Lady Ye... did you hack our country’s satellite?"
"No, why would I do such a thing?" Ye Shaohua said righteously.
Some people breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that she wasn’t that extreme.
However, Ye Shaohua then said, "How could I possibly hack my own country’s satellite?"
"Lady Ye hacked M Country’s," the baby-faced one kindly explained.
Boom— that was the sound of the person who asked falling on their butt.
This is even more outrageous, isn’t it?!
The people present didn’t know what to say anymore, even Sui Yun gave Ye Shaohua a surprised look.
Not to mention Wo Qi who had been casually flaunting her satellite phone, thinking about her own cherished one, while others used theirs to play Dou Dizhu.
She wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into right then and there.
Just at this moment, Su Mu, who had been sleeping in the vehicle of Ye Shaohua’s team, came down.
Su Mu had caused quite a stir then.
He had been bitten by zombies on the arm, a large chunk missing.
His face was starting to turn the grayish color unique to zombies, and he was delirious, which was why Wo Qi wanted to throw him away.
Unexpectedly, just two days later, Su Mu emerged again, his complexion almost back to that of a normal person.
"You’re awake?" Su Ran wasn’t the least bit surprised that Su Mu had awakened.
The others on the scene, however, were staring at Ye Shaohua in shock.
Everyone knew that the reason why the apocalypse was the apocalypse was because the virus was incurable, even the smartest person in Jing City had no solution.
Yet now, everyone knew Su Mu had been infected with the zombie virus, but here he was, lively and active, right in front of them...
Su Mu nodded to Su Ran and then gave a bow to Sui Yun, "Boss, I’m sorry I can’t join you in the struggle anymore, from now on, I will follow Lady Ye!"
Even though he wasn’t conscious at the time,
He knew that Wo Qi had wanted to abandon him. There were no more regular armies left in these end times.
Su Mu had embraced the thought of death when he was bitten by the zombies, even though he was a superpower user, because the one that bit him was a Level 1 zombie.
But unexpectedly, he had lived to see another day and the sunlight.
"You want to follow her?" Wo Qi couldn’t believe Su Mu’s choice, "Is my team not good enough for you?"
Su Mu outright rejected her.
"We’ve already found a Second-rank zombie, you’ll be able to advance to Second-rank soon, you can still change your mind."
Su Mu paid no attention to Wo Qi this time. Although he could understand, thinking about how she had discarded him left a knot in his heart.
Watching Su Mu’s reaction, Wo Qi said resentfully, "Then go, degrade yourself. You’ll never reach Second-rank in this lifetime!"
Then she left amid the weird glances from Ye Shaohua’s team.
"Brother, what do I need to do if I follow Lady Ye?" Su Mu hadn’t seen Ye Shaohua fighting the Third-rank zombies before.
So they had thought she was just an ordinary person.
Su Ran didn’t even turn his head, just tossed him a phone, "Yesterday, Weiwei picked up a broken phone. I had Miss Ye modify it a bit; I’ve input all the contact methods for our team. You can use it. If you don’t like its appearance, that’s fine too. When you find a phone you prefer, just give it to Miss Ye to handle."
Anyway, Miss Ye was getting more and more skilled at making these things.
Su Mu didn’t even realize that what he had in his hand was a satellite phone; he casually slipped it into his pocket.
Then he asked Su Ran to take him to see Ye Shaohua.
"Miss Ye, this is a Level 1 zombie crystal core I found when I was out," said Su Mu, who was only First-rank himself. Killing a Level 1 zombie and extracting its crystal core was not easy; even Wo Qi didn’t have many cores in his possession.
He carefully took out the crystal core and handed it to Ye Shaohua.
Ye Shaohua glanced at the core in his hand and then extended her hand to take it, "Did you say it’s of the Wood Attribute?"
Seeing that Ye Shaohua had taken it, Su Mu grinned, "Yes, Miss Ye."
"Perfect," Ye Shaohua fumbled in her pocket for a while, then pulled out a bunch of crystal cores and threw them to Su Mu, "Here are five Second-rank Wood Attribute cores and one Third-rank core. That’s enough for you to level up to Third-rank."
There was no one in their team with a Wood Attribute superpower.
Although there weren’t many zombies of the Wood Attribute, they had still encountered and defeated a few along the way.
After giving the cores to Su Mu, Ye Shaohua touched her chin and said, "I’m going to study medicine that restores Spiritual Power. Who wants to experiment with me?"
"Me me me!" Upon hearing Ye Shaohua’s words, a crowd was eager to squeeze forward.
In the end, it was Qi Feng who muscled his way to the front.
He gave a smug smile to the others.
Su Mu stood in the bus with a handful of crystal cores in his hand, dumbstruck.
"Bro... am I dreaming?" He could hardly believe the crystal cores in his hands.
A bunch of Second-rank cores, and even a Third-rank core...
Not to say that he had never seen cores of such high level, but Miss Ye just gave them to him like that?
Even Wo Qi had only gotten a Second-rank core and advanced to Second-rank.
And now... he possessed a Third-rank core?
"A dream?" Su Ran immediately conjured a mass of purple-to-black lightning in his hand, and with a light chuckle, he said while Su Mu looked on in disbelief, "As you can see, I’ve long been a Third-rank Superpower User."
"It’s a pity we can’t find a Third-rank zombie of the Water Attribute," a young man with a buzz cut said enviously as he looked at Su Mu, "Otherwise, I could have advanced to Third-rank as well. But I just heard from a team outside that there’s a Third-rank Water Attribute zombie in Fuqing Town nearby. Team Leader, shall we go take a look?"
After thinking it over, Su Ran said, "Alright, we won’t need Miss Ye this time. I’ll go with Qi Feng to help you catch it. Be mindful of the Third-rank zombies; there are only a few of us left who haven’t reached Third-rank."
Listening to his brother’s words felt like hearing about some fantasy event to Su Mu.
Weiwei saw Su Mu still standing there, dazed, and reminded him, "There’s a bathroom there. You should go take a shower first. I’ll bring you some new clothes in a bit."
"A...a shower?" Not yet recovered from the shock of the crystal cores, Su Mu was staggered by the next revelation.
Water was so precious in these apocalyptic times that he couldn’t bring himself to drink it, and yet they could take showers here?
"Yes," Weiwei nodded, "We still have a bit of water left. Even if you don’t finish it, you have to use it all up. The Water Attribute Superpower User in our team has a bad temper. Every time he sees us not using up the water he compresses, he feels we are looking down on him for being Second-rank, and then he gets upset."
Su Mu: "...Damn!"
After an extravagantly luxurious bath, Su Mu also received a stabilizer potion from Weiwei and, as if in a dream, advanced to Second-rank.
The team moved on normally, with Ye Shaohua conducting experiments on her Spiritual Power recovery potion in the improvised lab inside the bus.
And Su Mu watched, wide-eyed, as his brother and a group of others managed to kill that Third-rank Water Attribute zombie.
That short-tempered Water Attribute Superpower User calmed down significantly after advancing to Third-rank.
So much so that he almost wanted everyone in the vehicle to take two showers a day.
"Su Mu, the boss wants you to help mature a species," someone outside called for Su Mu at that moment.
As one of the rare Wood Attribute Superpower Users, Su Mu was responsible for ripening the team’s grain. Hearing the summons, he immediately went to Sui Yun’s vehicle at the front.
"That Water Attribute zombie is gone, likely killed by some strong individual," Su Mu overheard Wo Qi and others discussing as he arrived.
Hearing this, Su Mu didn’t know what to think.
Could he say that these strong individuals were... the same ones who were obsessed with cleanliness and took baths every day?
Seeing Su Mu, Wo Qi’s expression soured. She still remembered how he had hit her face and left her team.
However, thinking of something else, her expression brightened almost instantly.
"Su Mu, you certainly left at an inopportune time," someone inside Wo Qi’s vehicle said with some pride, "That Second-rank Wood Attribute core was originally yours, but since you left our team, Wo Qi had no choice but to give it to me. Now, I’m the third Second-rank Superpower User in our team."
Hearing this, Wo Qi laughed and then cast a mocking glance at Su Mu, "You were so eager to leave my team, you must have a better way to advance, right? Has our young master Su also reached Second-rank?"
