Apocalypse: No rebirth! Time to upgrade the sewers!

"Mom...Mom thought...she would never see you again...Waaaaah..."

Enveloped in her mother's warm embrace and smelling that familiar scent, Bai Ruolin's mind went completely blank.

All doubts and questions were thrown to the winds at this moment.

All she knew was that her mother was still alive.

"Mom...Mom!"

Bai Ruolin also burst into tears and hugged Wang Jie tightly.

"Waaaaah... I thought... I thought you were already..."

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried their hearts out, their sobs echoing throughout the entire shelter.

Song Qing silently walked to the side and leaned against the wall, watching quietly.

A smile appeared on his face.

The cries of the mother and daughter mingled together, echoing in the empty basement, a mixture of relief at surviving a disaster and long-suppressed grievances.

However, this heartwarming reunion did not last long.

Wang Jie seemed to suddenly remember something and released her daughter from her arms.

She hastily wiped away the tears from her and her daughter's faces, then turned anxiously to Song Qing.

"Honey, I have something to do..."

Song Qing looked at Wang Jie with a puzzled expression.

"Gu Ya fainted earlier and is currently in bed downstairs!"

Without asking a single question, Song Qing moved and rushed towards the stairs leading to the second basement level.

Song Qing moved very quickly.

Bai Ruolin was still a little dazed when her mother let her go.

Wang Jie had already pulled him down with her.

The second basement level of the shelter was similar to the upper level, except that the rooms had no doors. There was only a double bed and a table.

Song Qing immediately spotted Gu Ya lying unconscious on the bed.

Her cheeks were flushed an unnatural red, and her eyes were tightly closed, as if she were enduring immense pain.

"Wang Jie, what's wrong with Gu Ya?"

Song Qing quickly walked to the bedside and sat down, looking at Gu Ya on the bed.

A sense of urgency welled up inside me.

They were at a loss in their search for him.

He doesn't know anything about medicine.

Wang Jie followed with her daughter, her face filled with worry and self-blame.

"Around noon, Xiaoya and I were chatting downstairs."

"While we were talking, she suddenly said that she was in pain all over her body. I didn't know what to do, so I could only watch her... and then Xiaoya fainted."

Severe pain? Then unconsciousness?

Song Qing's brows furrowed tightly.

Just then, he suddenly heard Gu Ya mutter to herself in a very low voice.

He immediately leaned closer to listen.

"Song...Song Qing...Be careful...be safe..."

The few words, spoken intermittently, struck Song Qing's heart like a heavy hammer.

This woman, even while unconscious, was still worried about him.

Song Qing held Gu Ya's small hand.

"Wang Jie, I might need to go to the hospital to see a doctor," he made up his mind.

"Husband...husband"

Wang Jie exclaimed

Just as Song Qing was about to speak to comfort Wang Jie, a voice interrupted.

"Um... I... I mean, it's possible..."

Bai Ruolin looked at Gu Ya on the bed, then at Song Qing and her own mother, and shared her opinion.

"This woman... she might be awakening a superpower."

Song Qing and Wang Jie's gazes both turned to Bai Ruolin.

"Because...because when I awakened my powers, my situation was very similar to hers. I suddenly felt pain all over my body, like I was about to die, and then I passed out."

Bai Ruolin recalled and described at the same time.

Awakening Superpowers!

A flash of inspiration struck Song Qing.

He remembered.

When I first gained the ability to gluttonize, I also fainted from excruciating pain.

That damned concern makes me confused.

He actually forgot such a crucial thing.

He let out a long sigh of relief, and his tense body relaxed.

"That's very likely."

This little girl is quick-witted.

"Awakening superpowers?" Wang Jie was stunned. "Xiaoya...do you want to awaken superpowers?"

Bai Ruolin nodded vigorously, giving her an affirmative answer.

"Yes, Mom, that's very likely! We just need to wait for her to wake up on her own!"

With her daughter's confirmation, Wang Jie finally felt a sense of relief.

She looked at Gu Ya, who was still unconscious on the bed, and then at her daughter beside her.

He suddenly realized

Wang Jie looked at her daughter and said...

"Wakabayashi, are you also a superhuman?"

In front of her mother, Bai Ruolin finally regained a sliver of girlish pride.

She nodded vigorously and said with a smile.

"Yes! Of course, Mom, your daughter is now a superhuman!"

After saying that, Bai Ruolin raised her hand, and her originally dark eyes instantly emitted a pale blue light.

hum.

A slight buzzing sound

A nearly transparent wall of pale blue light appeared out of thin air in front of her.

"Mom, touch it," Bai Ruolin said.

Wang Jie reached out and touched the transparent wall.

A tactile sensation came from my fingertips

It felt like actually touching a thick glass wall.

Song Qing also came over and knocked on the barrier.

It made a dull sound.

It's very sturdy.

He knows best how strong he is; those two blows, though not at full power, were still considerable.

The barrier remained completely still.

"How about that? Pretty impressive, right?" Bai Ruolin said. "Even a pistol can't penetrate it!"

"I knew it! My Ruolin is the best!" Wang Jie excitedly hugged Bai Ruolin again.

That's definitely a pretty good superpower.

Absolute defense.

Although we don't know where the limit is, being able to block a pistol means that the defensive capability is not low.

Song Qing looked again at Gu Ya, who was still unconscious on the bed, and her thoughts were pulled back.

"Wang Jie, go get a damp towel and wipe her face," Song Qing instructed.

"Okay, honey, I'm coming right now." Wang Jie immediately released Bai Ruolin, who was almost suffocating from being suffocated by her, nodded, and walked upstairs.

Song Qing suddenly remembered the large leather suitcase that Wang Jie had asked him to put away in the clothing store.

It was filled with Bai Ruolin's clothes.

He glanced at Bai Ruolin in front of him.

Although she had a pretty and delicate appearance, her down jacket was extremely dirty.

Song Qing's mind raced.

A large leather suitcase, about half the height of a person, appeared out of thin air on the floor of the second basement level of the shelter.

Without any signs

"what!"

Bai Ruolin was startled by this sudden scene.

She stared at Song Qing with wide eyes.

A space...space ability user?!

"This was left here by your mother," Song Qing explained casually.

"Your clothes are inside," Song Qing said, pointing to the suitcase. "You'll be living downstairs from now on."

The second basement level of the shelter remained empty; he, Wang Jie, and Gu Ya slept upstairs.

Now that there's one more person, we can make good use of this space.

"Pick out a clean set of clothes, go upstairs to the bathroom, take a shower, and then change into them," Song Qing said.

Bai Ruolin nodded blankly, her little brain not quite processing what she was seeing.
