Every person present looked at Chao Xun with even more worship and admiration than before!
Zhang Yuan and Jiang Qing: Getting on the Big Boss’s car was the best decision we ever made. From now on, we must make sure to wash and dry the Big Boss’s clothes perfectly.
Wang Peng swallowed hard. He wanted to slap his previous self across the face. Where did I get the nerve to talk to Miss Chu like that!
Su Jin felt a surge of excitement inside. This is fantastic! The base has gained another powerhouse; it will surely develop better and better!
Immediately after, she remembered something and asked, “Miss Chu, only mental-type ability users can deal with anomalies. You possess mental-type abilities, don’t you?” She waited for the reply, nervous and expectant.
Chao Xun smiled. “If that’s what you want to believe, that’s fine.”
Su Jin was trembling with excitement. Triple-element ability user! Miss Chu is a triple-element ability user! She wanted to send this message to the base immediately and tell everyone the good news! The only triple-element ability user had appeared in their base!
Su Jin looked at Chao Xun now as if she were a rare, priceless treasure. No matter the cost, she had to ensure Miss Chu returned to the base safely.
Su Jin forced herself to calm down and asked, “Miss Chu, did you just fly up earlier? Is that also an ability?” Once the words were out, she felt it was impossible. Could there really be someone in this world who possesses four simultaneous abilities? That wouldn’t be a human; that would be a god.
Chao Xun did not answer. She let them think whatever they wanted to think. “It’s safe now. Go and check the status of the three cold storage warehouses.”
Jiang Chuan took the lead. “Sister Xun, I’ll go!” He released his metal ability and cut the locks on the warehouse doors.
When they opened the doors, the cold air from the warehouse rushed out, causing everyone to shiver. Jiang Chuan walked inside and couldn’t help but laugh loudly. “Sister Xun, the items in the warehouse are all still here! These meats are all perfectly fine; none of them have spoiled!”
“Qing Teng is quite sensible, knowing it shouldn’t eat our supplies.”
As he spoke, he immediately began moving, collecting all the goods into the storage ring on his hand.
Su Jin and the others outside were shocked once more. Jiang Chuan has space abilities? He’s a dual-element ability user!
Su Jin felt that ever since she found Miss Chu, she had been shocked time and time again. Miss Chu herself was a triple-element ability user, the cat she raised was a supernatural beast, and Jiang Chuan, who followed her, had awakened dual abilities. Su Jin couldn’t help but wonder if she might also become more powerful if she stayed by Miss Chu’s side.
Wang Peng exclaimed in shock, “Damn, brother, you have space abilities! Why didn’t you say anything? I thought you only had metal abilities.”
Jiang Chuan smiled without explaining. Without Sister Xun’s permission, he wouldn’t expose the storage ring on his hand just yet. He would let them believe he had space abilities for now.
“Let’s go, let’s go check the second warehouse.”
Wang Peng and Chen Yi stepped forward and opened the second door together. The second warehouse was also packed with meat, none of it spoiled or off-smelling. However, Jiang Chuan filled his storage space halfway and couldn’t fit any more. He looked at Chao Xun immediately. “Sister Xun, my space is full.”
Chao Xun’s gaze fell on Chen Yi. “You collect the rest.”
Chen Yi was completely convinced by her words now and did whatever she was told. She stepped forward and managed, with some difficulty, to collect the other half of the meat. “Sister Xun, my space is also full; I can’t take any more.” Chen Yi felt that “Miss Chu” was too stiff and formal. As someone who worshipped a big boss, she decided to address her like Jiang Chuan did.
Chao Xun raised an eyebrow at the title but didn’t say anything.
At the same time, the door to the third warehouse was opened. Su Jin began to worry as she looked at the supplies filling the warehouse. Seven tons of meat! Where are we supposed to put it? But abandoning it was out of the question.
“Miss Chu, how about we leave one person here to guard it, and we rush back to the base to have others come and collect it?”
Chao Xun shook her head. “Too much trouble.”
Su Jin agreed. Plus, the variables were too high.
At this moment, the Qing Teng (Green Vine) wrapped around Chao Xun’s wrist moved. Chao Xun looked down at it. “You can collect it?”
Qing Teng moved again. Through the contract, Chao Xun understood its meaning. “Fine, then you collect it.”
Qing Teng seemed excited upon hearing this; it had finally made a good impression in front of its master. It left Chao Xun’s wrist, soared into the air, grew in size, and opened its large mouth. Within moments, everything in the warehouse had disappeared.
Just as Qing Teng was about to return to Chao Xun’s wrist to act cute and seek favor, Chao Xun remembered something. She frowned and pinched the tail of the vine. “I remember you devoured zombies earlier. The supplies you just took—they didn’t get swallowed into the same space as the corpses, did they?”
Thinking of meat mixed with a bunch of corpses made Chao Xun’s face turn cold. Disgusting. It will ruin my appetite.
Qing Teng hurriedly explained, twisting and turning. After a moment, Chao Xun understood. Qing Teng’s anomaly skill was “Devouring,” which could possess many distinct devour-spaces. As its level increased, its devouring skills would grow stronger, and its spaces would become larger and more numerous. Therefore, the space it used just now to store the supplies was separate and clean.
Once she knew this, Chao Xun petted it and praised it: “Good job.”
Qing Teng was delighted to be praised by her and twisted happily. Hehe, I was praised by Master.
Qilin felt a bit jealous upon seeing this, jumped into Chao Xun’s arms, and let out a meow. Chao Xun smiled and hugged Qilin. My little cat has learned to be jealous, too.
She looked at the sky and said to Jiang Chuan and the others: “Before nightfall, find a place to spend the night.”
Chao Xun turned around, faced the zombies trying to swarm them, and released Qing Teng directly. With Qing Teng there, the zombies of this rank in the Cold Chain Park were nothing.
Su Jin and the others watched her back with envy.
Wang Peng: “Vice Team Leader Su, I also want to own such a powerful anomaly as a pet.” It’s obedient, powerful, and doubles as storage space—I’m so jealous I could crawl on the ground in despair.
Chen Yi: “Me too.”
Su Jin was speechless. I want one too, but I don’t have that ability.
“If you’re so envious, the next time we encounter an anomaly, you two can go up.”
Wang Peng and Chen Yi gave forced laughs. “Never mind.” If Sister Xun goes up, she tames it as a pet; if we go up, we’re just sending fodder to the anomaly.
Chao Xun looked back at them. “Are you coming or not?”
“Coming!”
With Qing Teng clearing the path, the walk back to the car was ridiculously smooth. No zombie dared to approach. My goodness, we have never experienced this feeling—we’re used to fighting zombies to the death. So this is the happiness of having a Big Boss covering for us!
