Qin Yu didn't answer directly, but instead told another story: "The most dangerous time was when the team was scattered by zombies in the city. I didn't even have a weapon and could only run around frantically. After that, my brother rarely let me get off the bus."

Yu Anyan kept her eyes closed and didn't reply. Qin Yu didn't expect her to answer either, but continued, "I've been sick a lot since I was little. My brother is used to protecting me, but in this world, who can really avoid facing any danger?"

"Miss Qin, before the apocalypse, your family must have given you a lot of crisis education, right? Who can be trusted and who cannot be trusted, these are things that should have been taught to you subtly from a young age."

"Yes." Qin Yu was very smart and immediately understood her implication. Crisis education in peacetime should be different from crisis education in the apocalypse. Her family did protect and pamper her, but they did not treat her like a hothouse flower and teach her nothing.

"Take it slow. No one can face the changes of the world all at once."

"The apocalypse happened at the same time every year, you're amazing."

Yu Anyan said calmly, "That's because I was unlucky. My parents mutated, and I was surrounded by wolves. If I didn't become powerful, I could only wait to be devoured."

If one can be assured of a comfortable life for the rest of their life, who would be willing to fight their way into a bloody battle?

Qin Yu remained silent and stopped talking. The next day, she got up early, grabbed her female classmate who was too scared to crack open a zombie's head, and rushed into the zombie horde to search for crystal cores.

When Yu Anyan got up, she was given fifteen crystal cores. Several people who had come out of the bus to kill zombies also received crystal cores, but they were warned not to do any experiments because the danger was still uncertain.

Yu Anyan put the wrapped crystal core into her pocket, which was actually her spatial storage. In the original owner's memories, the crystal core was usable, and she had seen others use it. She just didn't know if long-term use would have any side effects. She wasn't afraid of those things. As long as she could refine the space into a soul space after her ability leveled up to level ten, she didn't care about any side effects. She was willing to die.

That afternoon, they encountered more and more zombies, and eventually it became almost impossible to move forward, but they could hear gunfire in the distance, and they were getting closer to the main force.

On the lead SUV, various long-range attack abilities were unleashed. With the cooperation of the troops inside, they forcibly tore a gap in the zombie horde, moved aside the zombie corpses blocking the way, and the vehicles successfully rejoined the main force.

"Jin Yao, are you alright? Are you hurt?" Ling Feng looked his cousin up and down.

"It's nothing, it's just that Shili is dead." Shen Jinyao, who was usually rational and calm outside, showed a rare vulnerability when facing his cousin.

Ling Feng patted his shoulder. He knew that Shen Shi'an, Shen Shiquan, Shen Shishun, and Shen Shili had grown up with his cousin since childhood. Although they were bodyguards and subordinates in name, their relationship was like that of brothers.

Shen Jinyao forcibly suppressed his emotions: "By the way, cousin, have you found anything inside the zombies' brains?"

"That solidified crystal?"

"Hmm, has it worked?"

"Researchers have tried it; it's extremely hard and currently cannot be cut, but it appears to contain energy."

"It seems that superhumans can be absorbed."

"You tried it?" Ling Feng was anxious. You just tried something unknown coming out of a zombie's brain?

"It wasn't me, it was Fei Yang. He tried it with his superpower and said he could sense the energy inside, but I stopped him," Shen Jinyao explained.

"He's no good either, that reckless little brat. I'll give him a good beating when I have time." Ling Feng wasn't much older than Shen Jinyao and the others, but he had always been the one who dominated them since childhood.

Shen Jinyao touched his nose. Actually, he had tried it too, but he chose to "sacrifice" his friend.

"By the way, cousin, do you have any subordinates with water-based abilities?"

"Yeah, what's wrong? Are you short of water?" Ling Feng said nonchalantly. Water-based abilities have almost no offensive power and can only be used as mobile reservoirs at present. However, with water sources being polluted one after another, water-based abilities are becoming more and more important.

"No, we have water in the supplies we collected, so we don't lack water for the time being. What I meant was that the water system could probably be used in a different way."

Yu Anyan was not surprised at all when she was summoned. From the moment she chose to reveal her special water-based ability, she knew it would attract attention.

Ling Feng looked inquisitively at the small water droplet in her hand: "Miss Yu's ability can only condense small water droplets? Yet it can absorb moisture from external objects? Including human blood?"

"I haven't tried it with humans, but I have with zombies, and it works."

"Ms. Yu, are you sure you're a water-type?"

"Probably. Superpowers are a new thing, so perhaps they can be given a name on their own," Yu Anyan said calmly.

"Miss Yu, you don't mind if I report this, do you?"

"Commander Ling, please do as you please." It's not like she'd mind not reporting it. However, she added, "I think my special ability might just be manifested in a different way. Water control is an instinct of water-type people. You can let your subordinates with water-type abilities try water control."

"Thank you, Miss Yu. If I have any questions, I may need to consult you. I would be grateful if you would be so kind as to share your knowledge. Of course, as a reward, our official military will take care of your meals along the way."

"Oh, okay, thank you."

That night, the place where they rested was a residential area that the advance team had cleared out in advance. Shen Jinyao's team occupied two empty houses, gave Yu Anyan a room by herself, Qin Yu and her classmate stayed in another room, Qin Lang and two bodyguards from the Shen family slept on the floor in the living room, and the remaining teammates stayed in the house across the street.

To conceal her location, Yu Anyan went downstairs to get something from her car. All the cars were parked in the parking lot outside the residential area. Further out, there were troops on duty in shifts. With so many people gathered together, zombies would constantly follow the scent, so they needed to fight day and night in shifts.

Because of Shen Jinyao, their car was parked near the military vehicles, and there were patrols around, so it was quite safe.

"Miss Yu."

"Hello, on patrol?" Yu Anyan nodded. This young soldier had water-based abilities, and she had spoken with him that afternoon.

"Hmm, are you getting something?"

"Yes, I'll take some things I'll need tonight." After a brief exchange, Yu Anyan took a large bag from her car, said goodbye to the water-based superpowered warrior, and walked into the residential area.

At this time, many people were making fires and cooking in the open space of the community. Where there are many people, there is much noise. Many people looked at Yu Anyan, who was alone and carrying a large bag, but when their eyes fell on the knife in her hand that had obviously killed zombies, many of their thoughts quietly disappeared.

There were survivors in this community, survivors who had been trapped in their homes for a long time. In a corner by a campfire, a man was holding a small black puppy in his hand, and several other men were around him, looking at the puppy with longing.
