You call me a calamity? But I am Hyper Zetton!

Wu Bai handed the medicine to Su Nianzhen, then picked up another bottle.

The two of them simultaneously unscrewed the bottle caps, tilted their heads back, and drank it all in one gulp.

Ye Lan, standing to the side, narrowed her eyes, watching Wu Bai's every move.

If there's still no problem this time, then I can only admit that I'm being paranoid.

A few seconds later.

Wu Bai put down the empty medicine bottle, smacked his lips, and frowned.

"It's a bit astringent; you could say it's drinkable, but the taste isn't great."

I am Hyper Zetton, capable of devouring everything...

...You think you can make yourself visible with just one potion?

too naive.

Wu Minmin rolled her eyes at her brother: "Are you drinking a beverage here? And you're even leaving a review?"

"Also, you all have a chance to awaken within 24 hours."

"If you haven't awakened after 24 hours, then you'll never be able to awaken in this lifetime."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a sudden change occurred.

Wu Bai suddenly bent over, grabbed his head with both hands, and frantically scratched his scalp with his fingers.

The reaction was so intense, it felt as if something was about to crawl out from under the scalp.

The three women on the sofa jumped up instantly.

Ye Lan reacted the fastest, gathering power in her right hand, ready to strike at any moment.

Is it time to reveal its true form?

Wu Minmin and Su Nianzhen rushed over in a panic.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"Wu Bai, don't scare me."

Sudden……

Wu Bai's jet-black hair parted to the sides, and a tender green grass sprouted out, topped with two round leaves, swaying gently in the wind.

Ye Lan's lips twitched twice, and she silently sat back on the sofa, rubbing her temples.

"So... it's awakened."

The facts speak for themselves; Wu Bai has no problems.

Could it be that he developed severe anxiety disorder after learning that humanity would become extinct in the future?

I need to see a psychologist after returning to the main city. As the leader of a special squad, this misjudgment is fatal.

……

"puff……"

Wu Minmin and Su Nianzhen exchanged a glance and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, a blade of grass? Village chief, is that you?"

As expected, the wheels of history did not turn, and the brother's awakened form was still Sequence 088·Senro Moten.

A fairly standard plant-based sequence, half offensive and half defensive, not particularly strong, but enough to survive in the apocalypse.

Wu Bai raised his right arm, his five fingers spread open.

The forearm quickly lignified, turning into several thick, green vines.

It darted out like a snake and precisely wrapped itself around the glass on the coffee table.

The vines retracted and transformed back into fleshy hands in mid-air.

Wu Bai looked at the cup in his hand, his face matching an expression of disbelief.

This is the ability he gained last night after devouring the third-tier awakened one who blocked his way.

This was a sequence he carefully selected from all his abilities.

Not too far forward, not too far back, and most importantly, it's a position where you can fight without attracting too much attention.

Su Nianzhen stood to the side, looking at the cup in Wu Bai's hand. A faint, almost imperceptible sadness flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly covered up by a smile.

Everyone has realized that if they are the only ordinary person, they will definitely become a burden to this family.

……

The group played around for a while longer.

Su Nianzhen glanced at the clock on the wall and said she was leaving.

Today is the seventh day after my mother's death. She needs to go back to the old house to burn some paper money and move the last of her belongings over.

Wu Bai wanted to go with her, but Su Nianzhen firmly refused.

Su Nianzhen felt a little guilty that Wu Bai had to make such a trip for such a small matter.

Especially after Wu Bai became an Awakened One, she always felt that she would soon become a burden.

That would be even worse. Even if I can't awaken, I can't be a burden to this little family.

……

Yuan'an Residential Area.

Su Nianzhen carried the black plastic bag full of paper money up to the second floor.

There were still traces of red paint on the door. She took out her key, opened the door, and went inside.

Just as the security door closed.

Inside a black sedan parked downstairs, two bodyguards wearing sunglasses exchanged a glance.

One of them picked up his phone and dialed a number: "Young Master Qi, Su Nianzhen has gone home."

……

The room was empty, the furniture covered with a thin layer of dust, and Su Nianzhen couldn't stop her tears from falling.

Things have changed, and the figure who always talked about her will never appear again.

She wiped her eyes and tidied up the living room briefly.

He then found an open space in the living room, squatted down, and lit the yellow paper in the brazier.

The flickering firelight illuminated her tear-streaked face.

Just then...

The door was violently kicked open, and the door panel slammed heavily against the wall, causing plaster to fall off the wall.

The draft from the through-draft, carrying the force of the door panel, extinguished the fire in the brazier on the ground, sending ashes flying everywhere.

Su Nianzhen stood up in a panic, hastily wiping away her tears with the back of her hand, and looked towards the door.

"Qi Lei? What are you doing here?"

At the entrance, a man in a white suit with a sickly smile walked in step by step.

Behind him, two bodyguards as strong as iron towers blocked the door.

"Zhenzhen, have you had a lot of fun playing hide-and-seek these past few days?"

"Do you know how crazy I've been looking for you?"

Qi Lei kept closing in, and Su Nianzhen kept retreating until her lower back hit the edge of the dining table, leaving her with nowhere to go.

"Don't come any closer."

Her face was filled with terror, and her right hand groped haphazardly on the table until her fingertips touched a cold, hard object...

...It was a fruit knife.

She grabbed the knife, her hands trembling as she pointed it at Qi Lei: "Get out, or I'll call the police."

Seeing this, Qi Lei was not afraid at all; instead, he laughed even more excitedly: "Hehehe... That's awesome!"

Su Nianzhen's knife swung haphazardly in the air.

Qi Lei suddenly stepped forward and snatched the fruit knife from her hand.

Immediately afterwards, he grabbed Su Nianzhen's neck tightly with one hand.

Qi Lei leaned close to her neck, took a deep breath, and his expression was both intoxicated and distorted.

"This is the taste...it fascinates me, but you've made me lose patience."

"Pfft..."

Su Nianzhen's pupils dilated suddenly, and her mouth opened, but no sound came out.

She stiffly lowered her head; the fruit knife was already deeply embedded in her abdomen.

"Hahaha, that's the expression, that look of despair in those eyes, it's so beautiful."

Qi Lei seemed to be stimulated by the blood, and suddenly pulled out his knife and stabbed several more times.

Then he let go.

Su Nianzhen slid down like a rag doll and fell into a pool of blood, her body still twitching slightly.

Qi Lei unbuttoned his suit jacket, tossed his blood-stained coat aside, and waved to the bodyguard at the door.

"Stay here and don't let anyone disturb me."

"Yes, young master." The bodyguard closed the door.

Qi Lei looked at Su Nianzhen on the ground and began to unbuckle his belt.

"You filthy bitch, today I'll give you a good taste."

Just then...

Two short, painful screams suddenly came from outside the door.

Then, the entire security door, along with its frame, shattered and flew inwards.

Before Qi Lei could turn around, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and was sent flying backward, crashing deeply into the opposite wall, where he remained motionless.
