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

The staff asked the other people with superpowers to come forward and register one by one.

Lou Fengyue watched from the side, not to offer guidance, but simply to see if there were any water-based abilities.

The answer is, of course, no.

She cleared out all the zombies in the entire neighborhood; if there were any water-based ability users, she would have discovered them long ago.

Ice, Wood, Space, Perception, Metal —

Wait, metal element?

Lou Fengyue looked up at the man standing in front of the table answering her questions—Zhang Yong.

Two days ago, a fever was detected on the 36th floor. I never expected it to be Zhang Yong, and I never expected that he would awaken a metal-type superpower.

Noticing the gaze, Zhang Yong turned his head and met those calm, peach-blossom eyes, which startled him so much that he took two steps to the side.

"W-What are you doing?" His voice trembled uncontrollably. "I have superpowers now too, I'm not afraid of you!"

Lou Fengyue rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay attention to him, and dragged her brother home to eat noodles.

Lu An and Chu Sinian glanced at Zhang Yong and then followed him.

"Sister Loulan, Brother Zheng, are you really not going to join the government? It's a secure job!" Lu An asked curiously as he walked up the stairs.

"I don't feel comfortable leaving my parents at home," Lou Fengyue explained simply.

The main reason was that she didn't want to be used as a pawn by the authorities, and besides, she didn't plan to stay here indefinitely.

Even if the safe house in the central government can't be built anytime soon, this place isn't a place to stay for long.

Natural disasters are far more complex than just torrential rain and zombies.

Rather, this is just the easiest level in the apocalypse.

She needs to use this time to make more preparations; she doesn't have time to deal with the officials.

"Aren't you indigenous people? Why are you registering here too?" Lou Fengyue asked back.

"I'm not the owner of A3704, and I don't want to go back to my old home to live alone. I might as well wait for the official allocation so I can have someone to keep me company." Lu An sighed, looking a little depressed.

Chu Sinian said, "I just went down with him; I'm not moving with my brother."

Lou Fengyue frowned. "Why don't you just let Lu An stay at your place? It's not much trouble for the three of you guys to live together."

Lu An's eyes lit up. "That's right! Brother Si Nian, could you take me in?"

Chu Sinian pondered for a few seconds, then nodded. "Sure."

"Then I'll go down and tell the staff I don't need to assign me anything!" Lu Anxing turned and ran downstairs excitedly.

Chu Sinian watched as he nearly lost his shoes while running, then chuckled and shook his head. "Looks like I have another younger brother now."

"That's great." Lou Yunzheng chuckled. "Your brother is quiet, while Lu An is talkative. With the two of them together, the house will be lively."

The three returned to the 37th floor and went home.

Pan Quan cooked the egg noodles and served them on the table.

Seeing the brother and sister return together, she wiped her hands on her apron. "Perfect timing, come and have breakfast. The noodles will clump together if left out too long."

"Coming!" Lou Fengyue changed her shoes and ran into the kitchen with a smile to help get the chopsticks.

The family of four sat around the dining table, eating a simple bowl of egg noodles.

Lou Fengyue's phone started vibrating again; it was a message from Qin Qian.

Qin Qian: {Comrade Loulan, I heard that staff came to register your household. You said there are no people with superpowers in your family?}

Lou Fengyue put down her chopsticks and typed a reply: {No.}

Qin Qian: {Then the electric ball you released yesterday?}

Loulan: {Damaged by high-voltage power lines.}

Qin Qian: {...Last night, special police saw you leap over the quarantine fence.}

Loulan: {Has trained in parkour.}

Qin Qian: {Then... the ice wall?}

Loulan: {Liquid nitrogen tank.}

Qin Qian: {...Okay, what about your brother?}

Loulan: {No special abilities, just an ordinary person.}

Qin Qian: {...}

I'm just an ordinary person, who would believe that if I told them!

The message on the other end showed "typing in progress." Lou Fengyue only saw the new message from Qin Qian after she finished eating her egg noodles.

Qin Qian: {The survivors from the Northeast and Northwest districts have all gathered at Cuiping Square. Housing will be redistributed later. The ability users have also completed registration; a total of 23 people.}

Loulan: {Oh, you should report to your superior.}

Qin Qian: {Luo Zeyan's team has already been incorporated into the main force. Are you sure you don't want to come?}

Loulan: {What's it to me?}

Qin Qian: {...Then could you be a specially appointed expert to guide those with supernatural abilities?}

Loulan: {No.}

Qin Qian: {...}

Lou Fengyue slammed her phone on the table, picked up the bowl, and drank the noodle soup clean.

"I'm full." She put down her bowl and looked at her parents. "Dad, Mom, you haven't left the house for half a month. Would you like to go for a walk?"

Pan Quan's eyes lit up, and she looked at Lou Qingjian again. They were obviously getting restless at home.

"Is it okay? Will there be any danger?" Pan Quan asked.

"The zombies here have all been cleared out, and there are SWAT officers on duty, so it's fine to just walk around downstairs." Lou Fengyue cleared the dishes and put them back in the kitchen. "It's just that the elevator is out of service, so you'll have to climb the stairs."

"It's alright, climbing stairs is fine too." Lou Qingjian stood up, stretched, and said, "I haven't moved around in so long, my old bones are practically rusting. It'll be good to get some sun."

Pan Quan also hurried back to her room to get her socks, her every move filled with excitement. "Ever since we moved here and haven't had any land to cultivate for growing vegetables, I've felt restless. Finally, I can go out for a walk."

Lou Fengyue went into the kitchen to wash the dishes. When she came out, she saw the two elders dressed neatly, even their shoes were changed, and they were sitting at the dining table waiting, as well-behaved as kindergarten children waiting for the school bus to pick them up.

She couldn't help but smile.

We've kept our parents cooped up at home for too long; it's time to let them go out and see what the outside world is like.

"Dad, Mom, when you go downstairs later, if you see anything strange, don't scream." Lou Fengyue stood in the entryway, bending down to change her shoes. "Especially zombies, those things look a bit disgusting, so be prepared."

Lou Qingjian waved his hand dismissively, "You underestimate us. We've seen plenty of movies, so we can handle it."

"Alright then." Lou Fengyue smiled and handed two masks to the two elders, telling them to put them on.

Lou Yunzheng took an eco-friendly bag and filled it with a pack of tissues and two bottles of mineral water so that his parents could drink if they got thirsty later.

The family of four went out.

Go down the stairs.

The foyer had been cleaned up; some black bloodstains couldn't be wiped off, but it didn't look as creepy as before.

In the community garden, staff were carrying out secondary disinfection. When they saw them, they waved and signaled them to leave.

Lou Fengyue didn't linger. She and her brother, one on each side, protected the two elders as they walked out of the community gate.

The two elderly people hadn't been out for a long time, and they were curious about everything they saw.

His eyes lit up as he stared at the patrolling SWAT team; he had never seen so many armed SWAT officers up close before.

He muttered under his breath that the SWAT officers' uniforms were really cool.

One of the special police officers heard this, stopped, turned around, stood at attention and saluted Pan Quan, and then quickly caught up with the team.

Pan Quan's eyes shone even brighter.

Lou Fengyue felt ashamed.

What exactly did Qin Qian tell the SWAT team?
