His face was still the same. However, his voice betrayed his feelings. He said dangerously, âWhat are you doing?â
The operating room was a mess. The corpse of the zombie laid on the floor. There were scorch marks everywhere. The gun was kicked to one corner, dismantled.
Not far away from the corpse, Ming Shu held down Xu Shuo and locked his wrists together with her hand. From Ji Nanâs point of view, it looked as though Ming Shu was trying to do something to Xu Shuo. The posture was ambiguous.
Ming Shu grabbed Xu Shuoâs collar and patted his face. âLittle kid, you are still too young. Do you want to fight me? Go back to your motherâs womb.â
She got off Xu Shuo and slowly tidied her clothes. Then, she opened a bag of snacks and started eating.
Xu Shuoâs expression turned worse. He lost toâŠ
He lost to her!
Humiliation.
This is humiliation.
âGet out!â Xu Shuo picked himself up from the floor and pointed to the door. âGet out now!â
âYes, please be angry. You look more handsome when youâre angry.â Ming Shu grinned at Xu Shuo and gave him an âall the bestâ hand sign.
Then, she happily skipped out of the operating room. Ji Nan stared at her with a weird expression until she disappeared. He shifted his gaze.
âWhat happened between the two of you?â
âThat is none of your business.â Xu Shuo kicked the operating table on the floor.
Ji Nan didnât want to be bothered about his issues, either. He explained his intrusion: âCaptain Fan was asked to fetch you under command of the army. This city had already fallen. The supplies in the laboratory will deplete one day. Please think about this carefully.â
Xu Shuo sneered. âItâs only been a while and youâre on their side?â
Ji Nan didnât know how to answer him.
âI have said what I needed to say. When Captain Fan leaves, Iâll leave too.â
âAs you please.â Xu Shuo shut Ji Nan out of the room.
When the door closed, Xu Shuoâs face turned vicious. He let out his anger in the operating room, took a deep breath, and calmed down.
I am a genius. How can I be defeated by such a minor issue?
âŠ.
Ming Shu returned to the laboratory. Ning Le was teaching others how to use their supernatural powers. What was unexpected was that Chen Weiâs power had awakened, too.
And it was an ice element.
She never knew that she had an ice element ability and didnât know how to use it.
However, when Ning Le taught her the method, she got it immediately.
A genius indeed.
Now, she was able to form ice spears.
When Ming Shu walked into the laboratory, the ice spear that she just formed went out of control and struck at Ming Shu.
âBe carefulâŠ!â someone shouted.
Ming Shu raised her hand and flames erupted from it. The ice spear melted.
The next moment, a few fireballs flew out of Ming Shuâs hand and attacked Chen Wei.
Chen Wei could only form more ice spears. She didnât know what to do and could only stare fearfully at the fireballs approaching.
Ning Le hesitated, but decided to help in the end. She attacked the fireballs with water. The fireballs got smaller but didnât disappear. However, the water had evaporated.
She threw out another waterball and their collision ignited flames. The waterball and the fireball intertwined for a while before disappearing together.
She hadnât known that Ming Shu had supernatural powers and, whatâs more, it was the aggressive fire element.
Everyone else was surprised, too, and stared at Ming Shu, dumbfounded.
Ning Le broke the silence. âYe Miao, Chen Wei didnât mean to hurt you. Did you have to attack her?â
âI didnât do it on purpose, either.â Ming Shu smiled, âIt was everyoneâs first time using supernatural powers. Accidents naturally happen.â
Chen Wei was too shocked to say a word as she hid behind Ning Le.
She has supernatural powers, tooâŠ
âYou are very familiar with the usage of your power. It canât be your first time.â Ning Le exposed Ming Shu. Her ability was very potent. How did she train it?
âSo?â
âYou almost hurt Chen Wei. Sheâs a human, not a zombie.â
In order to convince people to work for her, Ning Le had to maintain a good image in front of others. To them, she was very righteous.
âShe also almost killed me. Weâre even,â Ming Shu shrugged. âAre you saying that she can attack me, but I canât retaliate? Please get the situation right. She attacked first.â
âIt was her first time. She didnât do it on purpose.â The conversation went in circles.
Just because it was her first time, she can be forgiven?
If a murderer murdered for the first time, can he or she be forgiven? Even the laws didnât write that. Who do you think you are?
If she didnât have any powers or fighting skills, she would have died and everyone would forgive the murderer because she didnât do it on purpose? Is it like that?
Ming Shu gave a perfect smile and said, âI didnât do it on purpose, either.â
Do you think I donât know how to lie?
âEveryone saw it. You did it on purpose. Also, itâs obvious that it wasnât your first time using your power. Ye Miao, why did you do it?â
If Iâm not able to use her, then donât blame me for pushing her out.
Ming Shu walked in and sat on the chair. âWhy does it matter to you if it was my first time using my power? If you are so righteous, why not go out and contribute to humanity by killing a few zombies. If you want to turn everyone against me, thereâs no need for such an effort. Letâs just fight.â
Cut the crap!
Letâs fight one-on-one.
Whoever wins is the boss.
Ning Le: ââŠâ
This girl is crazy.
Ning Le didnât dare to admit that she was bullying Ming Shu. She wanted to bring up the fight they had just now, but decided against it.
This girl is not easy to deal with.
Ming Shu continued smiling at Ning Le, making her very uncomfortable. She gritted her teeth and went to check on Chen Wei.
She looked as though she was really frightened and could pass out at any moment.
Ning Le took the chance to drag Chen Wei away,
The others were deep in their own thoughts. Both parties split unhappily.
Ming Shu was left out.
⊠She had always been left out.
Iâm used to it.
âŠ.
10 p.m that nightâŠ
Xu Shuo walked into the laboratory casually, followed by Ji Nan. They arrived from different directions.
Xu Shuo scanned the room and sat in front of the monitor. He swung his leg under the table and said, âThere is a way to get me to leave with you.â
Captain Fan saw hope and immediately asked, âWhat are your criteria?â
He had already heard many stories of Xu Shuo from Ji Nan and didnât dare to look down on this young man.
âThere are ten rooms in this laboratory with zombies inside. You can choose five representatives to kill all the zombies as proof that you can protect me.â Xu Shuo pressed something and the monitor showed the rooms with the zombies.
The rooms were of different sizes. Some had more than ten, some only had a few.
They were all people that worked in the laboratory once.
Yet, the young man wanted them to kill these people whom he had worked with? His teacher might even be among them.
âXu Shuo!â Ji Nan argued, âThey came to save you. Youâre going overboard.â
Xu Shuo turned the chair and replied innocently and seriously, âIf they donât even have this ability, how can they protect me?â
