Chao Xun sat in the passenger seat, playing with Green Vine.
“Besides devouring the zombies that enter your domain, have you devoured anything else?”
Green Vine twisted and nodded like a human.
Immediately after, its vine tapped on Chao Xun’s palm, transmitting all of its memories since becoming an anomaly.
Chao Xun raised an eyebrow, accepting all of its memories.
This little thing was quite reckless.
Fortunately, her soul was strong enough; otherwise, if she had been flooded by these memories, she would have turned into an idiot.
According to Green Vine’s memories, it was born when the apocalyptic meteor fell, and its power came from a fragment of one of those meteors.
Since its birth, it had devoured many zombies and ability users.
Chao Xun flicked its vine body.
“You’ve absorbed quite a few crystal cores. No wonder you evolved so quickly.”
Green Vine evolved by devouring; the more energy the devoured target had, the faster it evolved.
This included crystal cores.
Crystal cores in the apocalypse were like spiritual stones in the Immortal Spirit Continent, acting as hard currency.
Green Vine twisted its body happily, forming a heart shape.
Qilin slapped it down with a paw.
Green Vine stood straight up in anger, its leaves flaring.
Chao Xun: “Come back.”
Green Vine retracted its leaves and shrank aggrievedly around Chao Xun’s wrist.
Qilin meowed, rubbing its fluffy head against Chao Xun’s palm.
Chao Xun smiled, a trace of indulgence in her eyes.
When she was in the Refinement Sect, she had raised a nine-tailed spirit cat. That cat was highly intelligent, protective, and inseparable from her.
In the past, when she went out to train, the spirit cat was always by her side, fighting alongside her.
Later, during a great war, to protect her, the spirit cat’s nine tails were broken one by one, its fine fur covered in blood, and it died right in front of her.
Thinking of this, hatred surged in Chao Xun’s heart.
As long as she lived, her grievances with those sects would not be settled.
Although the masters of the other sects who cornered her were dead, their sects still had disciples, and they still had families.
She would definitely fight her way back to the Immortal Spirit Continent, wash the major sects in blood, and slaughter eighteen generations of their ancestors!
A flash of crimson crossed her eyes. Beside her, Jiang Chuan, and Zhang Yuan and Jiang Qing in the back seat, instinctively felt a wave of killing intent.
They almost shivered.
Who on earth provoked Sister Xun? Why did her aura suddenly become so terrifying?
Chao Xun quickly suppressed her emotions and closed her eyes to rest.
During this time, if there were zombies blocking the car, Zhang Yuan and Jiang Qing basically dealt with them. After all, Jiang Chuan was driving, and the remaining big boss was resting; they didn’t dare disturb her.
If they encountered zombies they couldn’t defeat, Su Jin and the others in the car behind would step in.
Along the way, the two of them actually accumulated a lot of crystal cores.
Aside from that, if there were higher-level zombies, Qilin and Green Vine would step forward before they even had to ask for help.
One cat and one vine—their combat power was higher than theirs.
It made people feel extremely envious.
As night fell, Jiang Chuan stopped the car and found a convenience store to rest.
He skillfully brought out a large pot, took out various seasonings, fetched the beef and mutton obtained from the cold storage, and began cooking.
Wang Peng leaned over at this moment, smiling shamelessly:
“Brother, we agreed, you have to let me freeload a meal.”
Jiang Chuan skillfully tossed the wok.
“Sure, it’s no big deal. Just come and eat.”
Chen Yi watched from the side, unable to resist, and also leaned in.
“Um, hehe, since everyone is freeloading, you wouldn’t mind adding one more person, right?”
Jiang Chuan was quite gentlemanly toward women.
“Sure, you join too.”
Su Jin coughed lightly.
“How about adding me too?”
To be honest, Jiang Chuan’s cooking skills were indeed excellent. No wonder his family was in the catering business.
Jiang Chuan: “Why don’t your entire rescue team just come and eat? I’ll just cook a big pot, but you have to provide your own ingredients.”
Su Jin and the others were waiting for these exact words.
“Great, thank you so much!”
The group ate and drank to their heart’s content, smiles on their faces.
In the apocalypse, being able to eat a hot meal was already the greatest happiness.
“If only we could live like this every day, that would be so awesome!”
Jiang Chuan: “When we first met, you were all haughty and looked down on Sister Xun. Now you know how good things are.”
Wang Peng smiled sheepishly.
“Brother, don’t bring that up. I was wrong before; I was blind.”
“From now on, Sister Xun is my goddess. I promise to be obedient. Wherever she points, I will strike.”
Sigh, speaking of which, he couldn’t really be blamed.
It was because Eldest Miss Chu’s reputation was indeed not very good before. Arrogant, willful, clingy, a useless pretty face…
He had been influenced by the rumors outside.
Especially when he knew he was dispatched from the base to rescue this useless eldest miss, he felt even more displeased.
He was an ability user, destined to be a hero in the apocalypse.
Yet, just because her grandfather was the Commander-in-Chief, he had to follow orders and rescue an ability-less lady. Honestly, he was extremely defiant at the time.
He only kept his mouth shut because Captain Lou was keeping him in check along the way.
Later, when Captain Lou passed away, he felt it was even more worthless. Why should they?
But what happened?!
Sister Xun was not a useless pretty face at all; she was a true boss!
A three-system ability user of control, healing, and psychic systems!
She was so powerful that he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to her!
Thinking of this, Wang Peng couldn’t help but curse in his heart.
Who on earth spread Sister Xun’s previous reputation? It almost made him take the wrong path.
Chen Yi went through a similar mental journey.
Sigh, it was all tears to think about. In short, Sister Xun would be her idol from now on.
Chao Xun remained expressionless, releasing Green Vine to guard the convenience store, and then looked at Su Jin.
“Tell me about the situation at the base.”
Hearing her ask, Su Jin explained in great detail.
“Miss Chu, the Central Base is the largest of the six bases. Its current population is about one million. Many ability users gather there, and it has a large reserve of resources. It can be said to be the safest place.”
“The Central Base is currently under the responsibility of your grandfather, the Commander-in-Chief. However, before we left the base, the Commander-in-Chief’s health was not very good.”
Chao Xun frowned.
Seeing her frown, Su Jin added:
“But with Colonel Chu there, the Commander-in-Chief’s health should recover quickly.”
Chao Xun nodded.
The Colonel Chu Su Jin mentioned was the original owner’s elder brother, Chu Muhuan. The siblings had shared a great relationship since childhood.
It could be said that whatever the original owner wanted, Chu Muhuan would give her, spoiling her to no end.
“What is my brother’s ability, and what level is he now?”
Admiration flickered in Su Jin’s eyes.
“Colonel Chu has a lightning-type ability. Like Captain Lou, he was among the first batch of people to awaken their abilities when the apocalypse arrived. When I left the base, he was already a level-six ability user, one of the powerhouses of the base.”
“Actually, Colonel Chu was originally going to come with Captain Lou, but considering the Commander-in-Chief’s health and the security of the base, he stayed behind.”
Hearing this, Chao Xun understood the situation.
She turned to ask about another matter.
