You say the cataclysm only comes after you've cleared the entire dungeon?

Lou Fengyue fell asleep on the bedside table.

When I woke up the next day, I could still hear the thunder and lightning.

She sat up and, almost reflexively, immediately reached out to touch her brother's forehead.

It's not hot anymore.

She took out the thermometer and put it back under his armpit.

I washed another clean towel and wiped his face.

Feeling the cool, damp touch on his face, Lou Yunzheng slowly opened his eyes, his dark pupils clear.

The first thing I saw was my younger sister's face. She remained as calm as ever, like a pillar of stability amidst surging waves.

"Yueyue..." he slowly opened his lips, his voice hoarse as if it had been rubbed by rough sandpaper.

"Don't move, we're taking your temperature." Lou Fengyue quickly pressed him down. "Lie down, I'll get you a glass of water."

"Mm," Lou Yunzheng responded, watching his sister leave before slowly closing his eyes.

Strangely, after taking the medicine last night, he felt his consciousness fall into a state of chaos.

It felt like there was a ball of fire raging inside him, threatening to burn him.

Then a cool breeze blew in, relieving the feeling of heat, and the fire was blown away, merging into the blood, and a gentle warmth spread throughout the body.

I woke up with a high fever and, apart from feeling a bit weak, I didn't feel any discomfort at all.

Lou Fengyue brought in a glass of warm water and placed it on the bedside table.

I took the thermometer out from under his armpit, glanced at it, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"The fever's gone down." She helped her brother sit up against the headboard, then handed him the glass of water. "How are you feeling now?"

Lou Yunzheng gulped down the water, let out a sigh of relief, and looked exceptionally energetic. "Nothing particularly special."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint electric current emanated from his fingertips.

boom--

The glass shattered into pieces in an instant.

Lou Yunzheng's eyes widened in shock, and Lou Fengyue gasped in surprise at the sudden commotion.

"Is this what you mean by... not feeling anything?" Lou Fengyue frowned, resignedly picking up the shards of glass that had fallen onto the blanket.

Damn, he directly awakened the lightning ability, which is known as the king of attributes!

The energy is overflowing, yet they say they don't feel anything!

Lou Yunzheng looked at his hand in disbelief; a faint electric current was flowing between his fingers.

"Have I... awakened a superpower?"

"Yes, the generator I bought is no longer needed. From now on, we'll rely on you for the electricity at home."

Lou Yunzheng smiled, relieved as if he had escaped a disaster, "No matter what, at least your brother won't hold you back anymore."

Upon hearing this, Lou Fengyue paused, then pondered for a moment.

He said, "Brother, I want to replicate your superpowers."

"Copy?" Lou Yunzheng was surprised. This ability was even more terrifying than seeing her conjure two boxes of cherry tomatoes out of thin air.

"right."

Lou Fengyue swept the glass shards into the trash can, then sat down on the edge of the bed and said seriously:

"I awakened a metal-type ability in the game 'Catastrophe,' but after clearing the dungeon and being teleported back to the real world, my ability was also taken away."

"The Infinite Space is actually a reward item for clearing the game. The system unlocks a special function, which is that I can copy other people's superpowers."

Lou Yunzheng frowned; his brain, which had just recovered from the fever, seemed to be malfunctioning again. "You have a system?"

"It only gives me tasks and rewards, but it doesn't help me much," Lou Fengyue thought.

Other systems can provide various forms of assistance to their hosts, but her system only sends her to kill zombies.

Reward yourself with some energy-restoring pills, then continue killing zombies.

"Brother," Lou Fengyue said earnestly, taking her brother's hand, "I haven't awakened my special ability yet. If I could replicate yours, our family would have two powerful allies!"

Lou Yunzheng grasped his sister's hand in return, his smile gentle. "What's mine is yours. Don't even mention copying it; I'd give it to you directly without any problem. You're the backbone of our family now, and you know better than me how to use this power."

Lou Fengyue laughed, "Then I'll make a copy, and I'll help you with the electricity supply at home from now on."

[Lightning ability detected. Copy immediately?]

[yes.]

[Copying, please maintain physical contact for at least five seconds.]

Immediately, Lou Fengyue felt a familiar energy slowly flowing into her body.

[Copy successful. Congratulations, host, you have gained the power of lightning.]

She moved her hand, and the electric current surged through her fingers before settling back down after a while.

Lou Yunzheng looked at her in surprise: "You've already mastered it?"

"I have experience, after all." Lou Fengyue scratched her head and chuckled sheepishly, feeling a little embarrassed to show off in front of her brother. "I'll teach you later. Now that your fever has subsided and you've awakened your lightning powers, it's time to tell Mom and Dad the truth."

Lou Yunzheng nodded and patted his sister's head. "You worked hard last night. If you hadn't given me a pill, I might have died long ago."

He was already delirious when he took the medicine, but he hadn't completely lost consciousness yet. He vaguely heard her tell his parents to take that strange-tasting medicine as well.

It must be something precious and valuable.

Lou Fengyue scoffed, "You were still calling Xiaoshuang's name in your dream. If Mom heard you, you'd be beaten to death."

Pan Quan had never been very satisfied with Shen Xiaoshuang. If she knew that her son was talking about a stranger on his deathbed, she would probably faint from anger.

Lou Yunzheng had no idea he was talking in his sleep. Now that his sister had seen through his thoughts, his ears turned a little red. "I was just... worried about her too."

Now all signs are proving to him that the end times have truly arrived.

With his family all around him, his only worry was naturally his beloved Shen Xiaoshuang. He had promised to protect her for life, so how could he abandon her in the face of crisis?

Lou Fengyue looked at her brother's unwavering devotion and shook her head helplessly: "Shen Xiaoshuang has enough food to last her until the rain stops and the floodwaters recede. No matter what you say these next few days, I won't let you go out."

Lou Yunzheng smiled helplessly, "The water outside is so deep, even if you let me out, I can't get out."

"Good to know." Lou Fengyue straightened the blanket and brushed off the broken glass. "Go have breakfast. Your parents are worried about you."

The brother and sister left the room.

Lou Qingjian had been worried all night, but seeing that his son looked refreshed, he immediately went over and touched his forehead.

Only when the temperature in his palm was no longer scalding did he believe that his son's fever had subsided, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Pan Quan came out carrying a pot of fragrant yam and beef porridge. When she saw the energetic Lou Yunzheng, her eyes lit up.

"Yunzheng, your fever has gone down?"

"Mm." Lou Yunzheng smiled and went into the kitchen to help get the bowls and chopsticks.

Because Lou Yunzheng had just recovered from a serious illness, the family of four sat around the dining table chatting and laughing, creating a particularly relaxed atmosphere.

Unlike the harmony of 3703.

Outside, the cries and screams were deafening.

My child has a fever! Does anyone have medicine?

"Grandma! My grandma also has a high fever! Please, please save her!"

Lou Fengyue opened the system panel. In the surveillance footage, the man from apartment 3706 across the street was knocking on doors one by one, begging for medicine.

The girl in her twenties from house 3704 was sitting in the corridor, crying her heart out.

Lou Fengyue turned off the system panel and silently lowered her head to drink her porridge.
