Apocalypse: No rebirth! Time to upgrade the sewers!

"Ye Chen, it's not as simple as you think."

"Yes, yes!" Gu Ya nodded vigorously, afraid that Song Qing would change his mind.

Wang Jie, standing to the side, had a face full of worry.

"Honey, Xiaoya, you...you two must be careful."

Song Qing smiled and reassured her.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it."

Just then, a weak voice broke in.

"Um... Brother Song..."

Bai Ruolin raised her little hand and looked at Song Qing with a curious expression.

"How did you acquire Zhang Wei's superpowers?"

Song Qing looked at the little girl in front of her with her hair in a bun, her big eyes filled with curiosity.

It wouldn't matter if we told him, since Gu Ya and Wang Jie already knew that he could steal other people's superpowers.

He was silent for a moment.

Then he said.

"I can steal other people's superpowers."

boom!

Bai Ruolin's mind went completely blank for a moment.

These six words exploded in her mind like a thunderbolt.

She stared blankly at Song Qing, her mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.

plunder?

How do you plunder? You kill someone, and then the power becomes yours? This... how is that possible!

However, Song Qing didn't give her much time to process it.

He slowly raised his right arm.

Under the watchful eyes of Gu Ya, Wang Jie, and Bai Ruolin, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

Song Qing's entire arm, from shoulder to fingertips, rapidly lost its fleshy texture, transforming into a deep blue, completely transparent, icy crystal arm radiating a chilling aura, with wisps of white mist emanating from it.

Song Qing's arms are now completely made of ice, composed of extremely cold elements.

"Honey! Your hand!"

Wang Jie and Gu Ya exclaimed in surprise almost simultaneously.

Just as Song Qing was about to explain, a trembling and incredulous exclamation came from the side.

"It's...it's the elementalization of Kong Kai?!"

Bai Ruolin's voice was somewhat shrill with excitement. She stared intently at the icy arm, completely stunned.

She was all too familiar with this ability!

Song Qing smiled and nodded.

With a thought, his icy arm swiftly returned to its original flesh and blood form.

"That's right, this is elementalization, which can turn a part of the body into elements, making one immune to physical damage."

Immune to physical damage!

Song Qing looked at Wang Jie and said slowly.

"Wang Jie, the original owner of this superpower is the one who has been controlling your daughter."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jie's body trembled violently.

She turned her head to look at Bai Ruolin beside her.

Since Bai Ruolin returned, she has not told any details about what happened at school, and Wang Jie subconsciously did not ask. She had no idea what her daughter had gone through.

"Wakabayashi...you must have suffered a lot at school."

Wang Jie's eyes reddened again. She hugged Bai Ruolin tightly, her voice filled with heartache and self-blame.

"No, no, Mom!"

Hugs from her mother, Bai Ruolin quickly explained, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"That bastard Kong Kai, he can't even touch me! But... he's really annoying."

She broke free from her mother's embrace and forced a smile.

"He's like a buzzing fly, constantly bothering me, trying to get me to be his girlfriend, but I've been ignoring him!"

"Really?"

Wang Jie was still a little worried and carefully examined her daughter.

"Really!" Bai Ruolin nodded vigorously.

Seeing this scene, Song Qing interrupted the tender moment between the mother and daughter.

"Let's talk about it later, Wang Jie. Go cut the meat. Your daughter is probably hungry now."

"Okay, sure."

Wang Jie nodded; her daughter's safety was more important than anything else.

Song Qing then led Gu Ya and Bai Ruolin to the second basement level of the shelter.

He casually waved his hand across the table.

next second.

A square barbecue grill appeared out of thin air on the table.

Immediately after

Cumin powder, chili powder, barbecue sauce, garlic sauce... all sorts of dipping sauces and condiments.

Bai Ruolin's mouth opened into an "O" shape once again.

Is it really okay to eat barbecue?

He couldn't believe it.

After finishing all this, Song Qing leaned against the wall and silently called out in her heart.

"System, view your personal panel."

A blue light screen, visible only to him, instantly unfolded before his eyes.

Name: Song Qing

Age: 25

[Superpower Level: I]

[Special Abilities: [Red] Gluttony, [White] Night Vision, [Green] Claws, [Blue] Spikes, [Purple] Invisibility, [Blue] Thorns, [Blue] Strong Toxin, [Green] Rusting, [Red] Extreme Cold]

[Physical Fitness: 25]

[Agility: 24]

【Strength: 22】

【Spirit: 21】

Points: 105

Looking at the data on the panel, Song Qing's thoughts raced.

With 105 points now, it's time for another small upgrade to the shelter.

The shelter's defenses are currently sufficient.

So, what should we upgrade next?

Perhaps... we could create something related to entertainment?

In this oppressive apocalypse, mental relaxation is just as important as material abundance.

A person who is constantly under tension will not go far.

With that in mind, Song Qing focused his attention on the upgrade options on the system panel.

A 3D model of the shelter appeared.

He directly clicked on the relevant images for lifestyle and entertainment facilities.

[Mini Home Theater Room (Points Required: 60)]

[Small e-sports room (requires 50 points)]

【Room TV Module (Requires 30 Points)】

Watching movies and playing games in a post-apocalyptic world?

This sounds a bit absurd.

But Song Qing felt that this was very necessary.

He thought about it for a while and then made a decision.

He wants to build a small home theater.

Aside from chatting, he and the two women had almost no other entertainment activities.

Now there's another one, Bai Ruolin.

Setting up a home theater is highly recommended.

Song Qing suddenly thought of a crucial question.

"System? Home theater...does it come with built-in movies?"

[System notification: The home theater only requires the necessary power supply; its internal storage module contains all the film and television resources ever created on Earth.]

Upon seeing this notification, Song Qing mentally gave the system a big thumbs up.

Global film sources, and no internet connection required.

This is simply divine enjoyment in the apocalypse.

He no longer hesitated.

He said it silently in his heart.

"System, construct a small home theater room."

[Sufficient host points detected. Building a small home theater room requires 60 points. Build now?]

"Yes."

[Please select the construction location: first floor or basement.]

Song Qing thought for a moment.

The first floor already has a kitchen, a planter, and a bathroom, making the space somewhat cramped.
