"What you say makes sense, but who knows if your knife is as powerful as you claim? How long will it last?"

"Watch this." The stall owner picked up a knife and chopped at the iron block on the side, cutting it off easily as if he were chopping vegetables.

Cutting iron like mud?

Yu Anyan watched for a while and then left. She could afford to pay the points, but since there were quite a few people with metal-type abilities in their team, she decided to let the people inside try it first. If it worked, they could save a lot of points.

After wandering around for a while, I ran into two annoying people at a corner.

"An Yan, are you here to buy something?" Mo Ru looked at the glamorous young woman in front of her, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes, and greeted her warmly.

Yu Anming, standing to the side, said sarcastically, "I saw the Breaking World Squad go on a mission a few days ago, and you're still wandering around the market? What? Did the Breaking World Squad kick you out?"

"Want to get beaten up?" Yu Anyan asked coldly.

Yu Anming couldn't help but take a step back, saying with a fierce but weak voice, "You, you dare? Fighting among superhumans is forbidden in the base."

"You mean I can take you outside the base and beat you up?"

"You dare?"

"Want to give it a try?"

Mo Ru recalled her special feelings about the bracelet she had worn before, and smiled as she tried to smooth things over: "Look at you two siblings, you always bicker when you meet. In this apocalypse, it's not easy to have a family member to take care of each other. An Yan, stop it. Your brother actually cares about you a lot. Brother An Ming and I are in the same team now. Why don't you come visit us? You're clumsy and can't cook. The food in the canteen isn't good either. I'll show you how to cook when we get back."

He spoke as he moved closer to Yu Anyan.

"Stop, stay away from me." Yu Anyan raised her hand to stop her from getting closer: "What's with that tone? You've gotten together with Yu Anming? Even if you two are together, she's not my sister-in-law. I'm not acknowledging her because of a brother who has tried to kill me countless times since we were kids."

Yu Anming's face flushed red: "You think you can just deny it like that? How can you face your parents?"

"Mom and Dad? They're dead. Why don't you bring them back to life to seek justice for you?"

Mo Ru turned around and gave Yu Anming a wink, hinting that he should soften his stance and trick Yu Anyan into going back.

Yu Anming misunderstood her meaning. Remembering Mo Ru's previous suspicions, he stiffened his neck and shouted, "Yu Anyan, is your space a superpower? Where's the bracelet you were wearing? Your space isn't formed from an external object, is it? Let me tell you, everything in the Yu family belongs to me. Hand over your space!"

Mo Ru looked at the incredibly stupid man in disbelief. Was this something that could be said openly?

People around immediately turned to look. While not many people were interested in the argument between the three, no one would be uninterested in space other than spatial abilities.

Yu Anyan looked at the two calmly: "Are you still asleep? What kind of space is formed by external objects? If such a thing existed, would I be able to stay here? Besides, after entering the base, I tested my abilities with the machine that tests superpowers. Superpower fluctuations can't be faked."

Mo Ru tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to stop talking.

Yu Anming continued, "Who doesn't know the Shen family's status in the base? You have the Shen family's backing, so what's so strange about them helping you keep it a secret?"

"Heh, then tell me, what makes you think my spatial ability is fake? Did Mo Ru tell you? Besides her wood-type ability, she also awakened the functions of a treasure-hunting rat?"

"I don't,"

"Mo Ru's intuition is very accurate. She said that after the apocalypse, she would really want your bracelet. Your bracelet must be a treasure."

Mo Ru's face was ashen, wishing she could disappear immediately. They were all from the Yu family, so how could Yu Anming be so stupid? Could he have been adopted?

"I don't know about 'precious' or not. When I escaped from home, I used a bed sheet to slide down from the second floor and jumped over the fences of several houses. After I found a safe place, I realized my bracelet was missing. Mo Ru, after I left, weren't you still staying at my house? Didn't you notice where my bracelet was?"

No, I didn't see it.

"Oh? There must have been at least several dozen survivors at the Yu family villa back then. It's impossible that you were the only one who came to the Beijing base. Just ask one of the survivors and you'll know if you found my bracelet or not. And your intuition—these are all valuable items that should have been handed over to the base. As an old classmate, I have to advise you: don't keep what you can't keep. Do you understand the principle of 'possessing a treasure is a crime'?"

Mo Ru knew this couldn't be resolved peacefully, so she gritted her teeth and made a desperate gamble: "Normal spatial abilities show a faint glow in the palm of the hand when storing or taking in supplies. You..."

"You mean this?" Yu Anyan took off her gloves, put a stack of stainless steel basins from the stall on her right into her spatial storage, and then put them out again a few seconds later, the faint light in her palm flashing twice.

Just kidding, she endured excruciating pain to tear open the skin and stuff the bead in, how could you possibly notice anything unusual?

"How is that possible?" Mo Ru noticed the scrutinizing gazes of the onlookers, and her expression worsened.

"Why is it impossible? Mo Ru, Yu Anming is the only idiot in my family. If my space really is an external object, I would definitely trade it with the base for benefits, because I'm not stupid. Keeping such a thing in my hands would only bring trouble." If she hadn't successfully inserted the bead under her skin, she would never have let anyone discover this space, even if she didn't hand it over.

Now the bead is inside her palm, and she can feel the hard, rice-grain-like texture. Because of this, she wears gloves whenever possible and avoids shaking hands with anyone. Fortunately, the apocalypse is dangerous, and everyone consciously abandons the etiquette of shaking hands when they meet, because you never know if the other person might use a handshake to trick you.

After saying that, he turned to the stall owner on his right and said, "I'll buy all of these stainless steel basins and lunchboxes. How many points do I need?"

"No need to buy it. Even if you put the basin into your spatial storage and then take it out again, I won't lose anything. There's no need to buy it specifically." The stall owner was an honest man. He had a family member with superpowers, so the items on his stall weren't fixed. He would sell whatever his family member brought back.

"It's alright. I was going to buy some containers anyway, as the team needs them."

After paying the points and collecting the bowl and lunchbox, a faint glimmer of light flashed in my palm.

Yu Anyan put on her gloves. Actually, she could store things in her space without taking off her gloves, but other space users had to touch things with their hands, so she never stored things through her gloves.

"Mo Ru, how does it feel to be friends with idiots?" Yu An Yan mocked. "Things don't happen more than three times. This is the second time you've provoked me. You can't use your superpowers in the base, but have you stopped going on missions? In this world, nobody will care if a few people die."

The following sentence is a blatant threat.
