While others are struggling to survive and slaying zombies in the apocalypse, I'm hoarding supp

Ji Zhoubai mobilized all his supernatural abilities and launched many tiny ice arrows, as thin as hairs, at Luo Ning.

He didn't believe she could escape this time.

The ice arrows were indeed too thin; Luo Ning's vine-woven shield couldn't block them. She manipulated the table to circle around and land behind Ji Zhoubai.

"My God, how can she be so fast?"

"Is this the speed a human should be able to achieve?"

"A demon's human speed... Is she a superhuman? How does a superhuman compare to an ordinary person?"

"Her superpower isn't speed; superpowered individuals have the same speed and physical abilities as ordinary people."

"I know that. The latest research shows that when the control of superpowers is brought to an extreme, it can produce such an effect. Don't forget, the chair she's sitting on is woven from vines that her superpowers have generated."

"Is the ID upstairs from the base research institute?"

"Impossible. I also have superpowers, and I'm already at the fourth level. I simply can't do that."

"Does the guy upstairs have a comprehension problem? I said you need to control your superpowers to the extreme."

"I'm already at Tier 4, which isn't a low level. How many Tier 4 people are there in the base? What gives you the right to say that about me?"

"Never mind, whatever makes you happy."

Fu Xing and the others watched this scene in shock, especially Cheng Rang. Both of them had wood-type abilities, but she awakened her ability behind him. Why was she so powerful?

Ji Zhoubai shot out a small ice arrow, but before he could even feel happy that Luo Ning had dodged it, she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

A threat came from behind, and he immediately covered himself with a thick layer of ice.

No matter how powerful Luo Ning's vines were, she was still a level below Ji Zhoubai. Ji Zhoubai's superpowers had genuinely improved, and his vines couldn't penetrate the ice layer for the time being.

Ji Zhoubai raised an eyebrow at Luo Ning with a smug look.

While controlling the vines that used their powers to freeze Luo Ning, they also had time to launch ice arrows at Luo Ning.

This time, Luo Ning did not dodge, but continued to weave a vine shield to block.

The onlookers were on tenterhooks. "The ice arrow is too small, it will go right through. Her shield has gaps, it will go right through."

Ji Zhoubai had the same idea, thinking that he would definitely be able to hurt Luo Ning this time.

Luo Ning controlled the rattan chair to move backward without any hesitation, looking at Ji Zhoubai with amusement.

When the ice arrow struck the wicker shield, it did not pass through the shield as people had expected.

Instead, it disappeared inside; there was no sign of it coming out or falling to the ground.

Ji Zhoubai took two steps forward. Where was his ice arrow? He could feel that the power of his ice arrow had not disappeared, so where did his ice arrow go?

Looking at Luo Ning sitting in mid-air, Ji Zhoubai suddenly had a bad feeling.

He quickly took two steps back, but it was too late.

Ice arrows gradually appeared from within the shield, their arrowheads aimed at Ji Zhoubai.

Luo Ning smiled at him, "Sorry, I forgot to tell him that my ice-type ability has awakened."

It's just an ice arrow; not only does he know how to use it, she does too.

Those with the same type of superpower will absorb each other's energy. In the apocalypse, many powerful superpowered individuals will absorb the energy of lower-level superpowered individuals with the same type of superpower to enhance themselves.

However, if such a situation is not handled properly, it can easily backfire.

Clearly, Luo Ning has better control over water-based superpowers than Ji Zhoubai.

Luo Ning is not good at water-based healing spells, but he is much better at killing spells.

When the ice arrow flew in the opposite direction, Ji Zhoubai knew he had lost.

He was no match for Luo Ning and dodged the ice arrow by flipping over.

His superpowers were almost exhausted, but the black-hearted girl's superpowers seemed inexhaustible.

The ground was covered with vines, not unlike a primeval forest.

Even so, the wicked girl still has enough superpowers to show off.

He got up from the ground and said, "Fine, I give up."

Ji Zhoubai wasn't someone who couldn't accept defeat, he just wasn't willing to admit it. He wondered what kind of trouble this scheming girl would cause him in the future.

But what can you do when you lose?

Luo Ning moved the chair over.

Looking down at Ji Zhoubai, she said, "You've already given up?"

Ji Zhoubai rolled his eyes. "Don't be so ungrateful. I need to save my abilities to save people. I can't use them all up here."

"Alright, since you admit defeat, remember your promise."

"I won't back out. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Ji Zhoubai asked weakly, prepared to be ripped off.

"No need to rush. I'll let you know when I need your help."

Luo Ning smiled broadly, thinking about what good price she could get for Ji Zhoubai later.

"Can I go back now?"

Ji Zhoubai didn't want to see her smug look; he always felt like pork waiting to be sold.

Luo Ning waved his hand, and Ji Zhoubai quickly pushed his way through the crowd.

He'd really lost face today, so he needed to go rescue a few people to calm himself down.

As soon as Ji Zhoubai left, Xiao Jie, Fu Xing, and the others surrounded Luo Ning.

Xiao Jie originally wanted to hand Luo Ning a handkerchief, but he saw that there wasn't a drop of sweat on her face.

There was a parasol above her chair, so the sun didn't shine on her at all.

"Boss, you're amazing." Liang Xiao gave a thumbs up. It hadn't been that long since they last met, but the boss's strength was still unfathomable.

Shen Yi's heart had been on the rise and fall just now, but now it was completely on Luo Ning's side.

"Big sister, you were so cool just now!" He was so excited that his face turned red.

Cheng Rang squeezed in and grabbed Luo Ning's hand, "How can you use your wood-type ability so skillfully? Do you have any techniques? Can you teach me a little?"

Fu Xing was almost squeezed out by Cheng Rang. After squeezing back in, he looked at Luo Ning expectantly.

"Miss Luo, you've become so much more skilled. Would you be interested in joining our team? Name your price."

Zhou Jibai stood outside, raising his hand. When would he be able to become as powerful as her?

The three of them, 1, 2, and 3, couldn't squeeze in and kept jumping around outside.

"Host, 123, hug 123."

Luo Ning heard its voice, bent down and picked it up along with 125.

Don't ask her why she didn't hug 124; it's too big and fat, and Luo Ning didn't want to hug it.

Luo Ning felt like there were a hundred flies buzzing in her ears, and she couldn't hear what they were saying at all.

"Miss Luo!"

A guard squeezed in; Luo Ning recognized him—he was one of Old Master Fu's men.

"Miss Luo, the commander requests your presence."

Luo Ning followed behind the guard, and she almost couldn't breathe.

"Why does the leader need to see the big shot? I haven't even asked her for advice yet," Liang Xiao muttered.

"Let's go take a look."

Fu Xing really wants Luo Ning to join them, and his grandfather must feel the same way.

When Grandpa starts persuading Miss Luo later, they can immediately join in the discussion.

With so many people begging her, she'll definitely agree to join them.

Luo Ning followed the guards into the base, and the people she met along the way looked at her with awe.

Although I had heard before that Miss Luo was very capable and had made great contributions to the base.

But they didn't know the specifics until they saw the live stream today, and then they realized how amazing Miss Luo was.

Throughout the entire process, Miss Luo defeated Dean Ji, who was at the sixth level, without even getting off her chair.

Everyone in the base, whether they were superhumans or ordinary people, looked at Luo Ning with respect.

Everyone knows that in the apocalypse, strong strength means being able to survive longer and better.

Luo Ning hasn't been back to the Xuanwu Base since his first visit.

Every time she came, she would deliver the items at the main gate, pick up the next order, and then go back.

I wonder what Old Man Fu suddenly wanted to talk to her about?

"Sir, Miss Luo has arrived."

When the guards led Luo Ning and the others inside, Old Fu was handling his work. He only took off his glasses when he saw Luo Ning arrive.

"Luo girl is here? Every time you come to the base, you never say you'll come in to see this old man. I have to invite you to come?" Old Master Fu glared at her.

Luo Ning chuckled and sat down on her own. "How could I? You're such a busy person, how could I possibly bother you like this?"

"You're afraid I'll persuade you to join the base again, aren't you?"

Luo Ning smiled at him, "It's good that you know."

Grandpa Fu and Fu Xing are truly from the same family; every time they see her, they try to persuade her.

She said she wasn't interested in joining the base; she was annoyed by hearing about it too much. But both of her collaborations with the authorities were facilitated by Grandpa Fu.

She couldn't show too much malice towards her business partners.

Grandpa Fu looked at Luo Ning with pity, and asked unwillingly, "Are you really not considering joining the base?"

He had just watched the battle between Luo Ning and Ji Zhoubai. The little girl was growing up too fast; she was truly a rare genius.

The base is currently lacking in various types of talent.

"No interest. What did you call me here for?"

Luo Ning didn't want to discuss this topic with him, so she quickly changed the subject.

Grandpa Fu changed his mind and decided to ask her every time he met her. Sooner or later, she would definitely be willing to join them.

Fu Xing's expectant gaze was disappointed. Before he could even start the group purchase, Miss Luo rejected them again without hesitation.

Grandpa Fu sighed and began to advise, "It's like this, the acid rain has stopped recently, and according to the latest forecast, there will be continuous high temperatures. We don't know how long it will last yet, and the mutated animals and zombies outside are upgrading faster and faster."

I was thinking it might be dangerous for the two of you to live outside, so why don't you move to the base? I already told you I've reserved a room for you there.

Luo Ning shook her head. "No need. I'm living a good life outside, and I'll be leaving Ningcheng soon anyway. You can handle the house yourself; I don't need it."

If it weren't for 123, she would probably have chosen to find a shelter at the base, since the base's buildings are designed to withstand all kinds of extreme weather.

But now that she has 123, she will never leave her little house.

"Why are you so stubborn, girl? I've seen your house before. How long can that water you stored last? You're on the top floor, and the temperature of tens or even hundreds of degrees Celsius is no joke. How long can your place last?"

Grandpa Fu was extremely disappointed in her; he had gone to great lengths to save a house for the young girl, but she was ungrateful.

Although many people in the base were unaware of the little girl's contributions, he could not forget them.

If it weren't for the little girl's help, they would have lost a lot of manpower and resources to transport those oil and natural gas back.

The house reserved for the little girl at the base took him a lot of effort to build. It was the house that so many people wanted, but he was the one who made the final decision to reserve it for her.

He has devoted himself to the country and the people for so many years, but he only showed a little favoritism towards the little girl in this matter.

That house was in a great location and in a great environment. He didn't even give it to his only grandson; he reserved it specifically for his little girl.

Unexpectedly, when we offered her the house for free, she made all sorts of excuses.

Luo Ning could see through Old Master Fu's attitude and sense his care, though she didn't know the reason behind it.

But since they insisted on giving it to her, she had no reason not to accept it!

Although she may not live there often.

Actually, she didn't accept the offer because she was considering the old man's feelings. Firstly, she didn't want it; she planned to take her own house with her wherever she went in the future.

Secondly, she didn't want to make things difficult for them. She wasn't from the Xuanwu Base, yet she received a house, which would definitely cause dissatisfaction among some people.

She knew that housing at the base was really scarce.

When Luo Ning was alone at night, she thought that she would be very happy if her parents were here.

But when someone cares for her like her parents do, her first reaction is to avoid them.

Including her previous life, she hadn't received such care from her elders for over ten years.

"In that case, I'll take the house. I'll go check it out in a bit, but I probably won't be staying at the base for the time being. I'm planning to go on a trip later to see the beautiful scenery of the post-apocalyptic world," Luo Ning said awkwardly.

When Grandpa Fu heard her words, he almost choked again.

"What did you say you were going to do? Repeat it to me again!"

"Going on a trip? What's up?" Luo Ning blinked.

Cheng Rang gave Luo Ning a thumbs up, "Boss, you're awesome, now you can go on vacation."

Seeing that none of them thought highly of her, Luo Ning didn't bother to explain herself.

One reason was that she wanted to travel; she also wanted to find Qin Feng, see how he was doing, and then see him off.

Without her help this time, she wanted to see just how far he could climb.

Luo Ning stood up. "Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll head back. I'll be late if I don't make it home soon."

Grandpa Fu quickly instructed, "Be careful out there. Call me if you encounter any difficulties. Use water sparingly. If you run out, tell me and we'll get it from the base."

Although Luo Ning is not officially a member of the Xuanwu Base, Old Master Fu had already set aside the benefits that the base was supposed to give her, just so she could receive them when she needed them.

Old Fu used up all his selfish desires for this little girl.

Luo Ning had just stepped out when he was stopped by someone else.

The person who arrived was panting heavily. "Miss Luo, thank goodness you haven't left yet."

This is the person who said on the forum that Luo Ning had mastered his superpowers to the extreme.

Luo Ning looked at the woman in front of her who was a head taller than her and didn't understand why she was always stopped halfway when she entered the base.

Is there any explanation for this?

The woman took a breath, then took two deep breaths and said, "Hello, Miss Luo. I am Bai Yu from the official research base. I apologize for stopping you, but I mainly want to learn about your techniques for controlling your supernatural abilities. We would like to conduct some research on them."

Luo Ning narrowed his eyes. "Studying me?"

Bai Yu quickly waved his hand, "No, no, I just wanted to know if you have any techniques for controlling your superpowers. If there were a set of techniques to improve them, it would be of great help to future superpower users."

"Then what is my relationship with them?"

Luo Ning looked at her with a puzzled expression. She also noticed a pattern in the Xuanwu Base: the people there took things for granted.

First, there was Old Man Fu, who wanted her to work for free from the start. His grandson, Fu Xing, was not to be outdone, always trying to get her to join them and take on those lousy jobs.

Then there's Ji Zhoubai. When they first met, they weren't very familiar with each other, but he wanted to get her food for free.

Now another Bai Yu has appeared, wanting to know her superpower usage skills. Is that something you can just casually talk about?

Those were methods and techniques she had learned through countless trials and tribulations in her previous life; they were the means by which she signed up.

Just like one's own exclusive secret recipe, it can't be shared casually anywhere.

Bai Yu's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Miss Luo, what do you think? If this research is successful, it will be a great act of kindness that benefits humanity."

Luo Ning looked at her like she was an idiot. What kind of bodhisattva has descended to earth?

Do you have any points or crystals on you right now?

Bai Yu didn't understand why she asked that, but she kept nodding and saying, "Yes."

Are there still people in the base who are starving?

Bai Yu nodded solemnly. There were many people in the base who were not getting enough to eat, which was why she wanted to research a way to enhance their superpowers as soon as possible.

This allows those with superpowers who are out fighting to return more safely and find more supplies.

"Then why don't you use your crystal core points to buy food for them?"

Luo Ning looked at the woman in front of her with sarcasm. Yet another person who wanted to get something for free. Dream on.

"I bought it. This is the subsidy that just came in today. I didn't have time to buy it. I'm going to buy it after I get off work," Bai Yu said earnestly.

He even warmly invited Luo Ning, "Miss Luo, would you like to join me? I've heard that you have a lot of resources and crystal cores. Would you like to give some more? Those people will definitely be very grateful to you."

Luo Ning choked up. This really is a bodhisattva descending to earth!

She walked past her quickly, trying to hurry, afraid that if she slowed down, her demonic energy would overflow.

Xiao Jie stared blankly at the person in front of him, then quickly caught up with Luo Ning while holding an umbrella.

The sun is too strong, and she doesn't have anything to shield her from the sun; she'll get sunburned.

Luo Ning wasn't in a hurry to go home; she wanted to go and see the house that Old Man Fu had given her.

Following the address, Luo Ning discovered that the Xuanwu Base was much better built than the base she had been in in her previous life, and the orderliness of the base was also much stronger.

It seems that every young and strong person, regardless of gender, has a job to do, even if it's just sweeping the floor.

The elderly, those without labor capacity, and young children all stayed quietly to the side, unlike at the Red Maple Base where you constantly worry that someone might run out from the shadows, kneel before you begging for food, or try to steal your things.

However, Luo Ning soon realized that the Xuanwu Base was an official base with the military stationed there, and since the apocalypse had only recently begun, most people were not yet numb to it.

The elderly and children still sitting outside have weathered faces, but no despair.

The children's expressions were even more innocent; as long as they were fed and clothed, they didn't care where they played.

As Luo Ning passed by a building, she actually heard students reading aloud inside, so she went over to take a look out of curiosity.

There were actually several hundred students, and two people wearing glasses who looked like old professors, all in one large classroom.

Two teachers managing hundreds of students are indeed extremely busy.

Fortunately, the students are all well-behaved, unlike before the apocalypse.

These children are more sensible than those who play outside.

Looking at the unfinished site next to the school, which should also be a school, there was only one person wearing glasses and carrying documents, working with six or seven workers.

Luo Ning finally understood why Old Master Fu was so eager for her to join the base.

They are short-handed. Now, except for those who are incapable of doing anything, everyone, regardless of rank or status, is doing the work, but they still don't have enough people.

This disaster almost wiped out all of humanity.

The various bases are the spark of humanity, but unfortunately, she no longer has the spirit of a twenty-year-old.

Having lived through ten years of the apocalypse in her previous life, she may have become numb, her only obsession being to live according to her own heart once more.

Luo Ning arrived at the address in front of a door, on the 22nd floor.

The stairwell is very narrow, probably designed to save space, and is only wide enough for people to pass through.

She entered the password and found a small apartment of about 30 square meters, but it was well-lit and fully furnished with furniture and a color TV. However, everything was small and couldn't compare to her home. But Luo Ning knew that such an apartment was considered very good in the various bases.

In her past life, she had earned the title of God of War in order to rent this house. Her original wish was to buy the house, but unfortunately, she never achieved it.

She still felt a little unreal when she was told that this house belonged to her. She hadn't been able to get it before she died in her previous life, but she had gotten it so easily in this life.

"Host, are we going to stay here? This place is so small!"

123 jumped onto the sofa, but the sofa wasn't soft, not as big and soft as the sofa at the host's house.

"There's no terrace here either, so there won't be anywhere for 124 and 125 to run and lose weight anymore. And there's nowhere to put the vegetables that the host planted."

123 looked around disdainfully; it didn't want to stay there.
