Ji Nan walked away with Captain Fan and the rest of the group. Ning Le went last and she turned back to look at Ming Shu. Her eyes were confused as she thought of something.
Xu Shuo leaned against the door, âCome and help me.â
His face was quite youthful. Without the domineering aura and aloofness, he looked like an inexperienced high school student.
His expression looked unhappy and irritated, as well as a little cute.
If he was in high school, he would be chased by a lot of female students.
Ming Shu hugged her bag, âwhy should I?â
âIf I didnât help you just now, what would you be taken as?â Xu Shuo grunted, âthere are many experiments conducted in this laboratory. Ji Nan looks heartless, but heâs actually very righteous. If he suspects your motives for coming here, he wonât hesitate to throw you out.â
âWell, does that mean I have to thank you?â Youâre not a good person either. What right do you have to say this to others?
âThat girl doesnât look like a good person,â Xu Shuo said. âAre you girls always so silly?â
Fights between girls are always because of silly reasons. However, the process of fighting is exciting to watch.
ButâŠ
âI was the one who started the fight. Donât you think Iâm in the wrong?â
âShe was being nosy. I donât think that youâre in the wrong. There are many people that put too much importance in themselves.â He saw everything from inside. The girl called Ning Le could have dodged the attack, but she didnât.
Ming Shu looked at Xu Shuo curiously.
âAre you coming?â Xu Shuo felt that he had said enough and was getting impatient. âThere will be rewards.â
Ming Shu wanted to reject him. However, when she heard that there would be rewards, she asked, âwhat rewards?â
âI can improve your supernatural power,â Xu Shuo said proudly.
Ming Shu sneered and walked away.
Iâm not interested in supernatural power.
Xu Shuo didnât expect her to react this way and instantly added on, âwhat do you want?â
Ming Shu turned her head, âdo you have food?â
âFood?â She chose food over power, is she stupid?
âYou donât?â Iâm not playing with you if you donât have any food.
âI do.â Xu Shuo stepped into the room. âClose the door.â
This was an operating room. Besides the operating table and a few pieces of medical equipment, there were only a few boxes packed in a corner.
The room was cold and with the tied up zombie, it gave off an eerie feel.
Xu Shuo took some food out from the boxes. Most of them were biscuits. There were a few other snacks as well.
âHave you all been stuck here all this while?â
âYou think not?â Xu Shuo passed the food to Ming Shu and walked to the operating table. âDo you believe Ji Nan has the ability to go out?â
âThen why do you have so many supplies? Did you all cause Doomsday?â The laboratory had everything they needed to survive.
It was as though they were prepared.
Xu Shuo turned and flashed the desk lamp on Ming Shu. âMiss, that is a very daring accusation. Do you need me to silence you now to increase the credibility of your statement?â
âThere is no need for that. If Doomsday was really created by you, I can join you,â Ming Shu grinned.
Xu Shuo choked and let go of the lamp. âThis is a laboratory. When we have an experiment, we might need to stay here for a few months or even half a year. Hence, everything is prepared beforehand.â
They were lucky too. Just before Doomsday, the laboratory had replenished all their supplies.
Ming Shu believed him and said, âwhat do you need help with?â
Xu Shuo straightened the operating table. The zombie immediately roared at Ming Shu.
âUse your fire element and attack it.â
Ming Shu gaze shifted from the zombie, âhow do you know I have this power?â
She didnât use any of her powers at all throughout the journey. Not only her, no one used their powers. She didnât know why Ning Le didnât use hers, but everyone elseâs powers were still too weak at this stage. There wouldnât be any effect even if they used them.
This guy knew that she had a supernatural power, and even knew that it was a fire element powerâŠ
There is something going on!
âI can see it.â Xu Shuo pointed to his eyes.
He can see it?
âWhat is Ning Leâs element?â Ming Shu asked.
âFire and wood, butâŠâ Xu Shuo paused. âThese are the more pronounced ones. The others are still weak but she should possess all the elements.â
Xu Shuo squinted and said dangerously, âWorth experimenting.â
Worth experimenting?
If you dare do that to the fake protagonist, Iâll give you a trophy.
âHurry up!â Xu Shuo regained his composure and pointed at the zombie. âI am not here to answer your questions.â
Ming Shu put down her snack and walked in front of the zombie.
She formed a small fireball in her palm and threw it at the zombie.
The fireball hit the zombie and extinguished almost immediately. This attack didnât have any effect on the zombie besides causing it to roar louder.
âHave you not eaten? Use more force.â Xu Shuo was recording something off to the side. However, it was obvious that Ming Shuâs attack didnât meet his expectations.
âI really havenât.â I havenât had a meal in a long time.
Ming Shu retracted her hand and suddenly smiled widely, âwhyâd you choose me? Iâm not the only one who has a supernatural power.â
âI donât like the other people.â
Xu Shuo replied like this without hesitation.
[Additional Task: Gain Hatred Points from Xu Shuo.]
Ming Shu eyes narrowed. Xu Shuo doesnât have good intentions toward me?
If it really is that way, he is hiding it very wellâŠ
Xu Shuo hurried Ming Shu along, âdonât stall, my time is very precious. Hurry up!â
Ming Shu rubbed her hands together and took a few steps back. She focused her energy and flames started to appear in her palms. The flames coagulated into the shapes of spears and she struck them at the zombie.
âRoar!â
The zombie roared in pain. The metal chains that held the zombie melted from the heat and the zombie jumped down from the operating table.
Xu Shuo was right beside the zombie. The zombie instantly held up his hands and moved to grab Xu Shuo.
Delicious food right here.
EatâŠ
Boom !
Xu Shuo calmly took out a gun from his pocket and shot the zombie in the forehead.
The zombie fell onto the operating table, causing the table to fall, too. All the equipment scattered on the floor.
The room was silent.
The guy slowly moved his gun and pointed it at Ming Shu, âwas that on purpose?â
âYes,â Ming Shu smiled.
âWhy?â
âI donât like you.â
Xu Shuo: ââŠâ
Wasnât she all right just a moment ago? Why did she suddenly change?
I need to continue acting. Must continue acting. Continue acting.
Xu Shuo repeated the phrase a few times before finally getting his emotions under control.
Why are girls so temperamental? How can I subdue them?
Killing her seems like the better option.
Yes, letâs do it.
Xu Shuo pointed the gun at Ming Shuâs head and with a hint of madness, he said, âI havenât experimented on anyone with a supernatural power before.â
