Su Jin and the others were shocked once again, along with Jiang Chuan.
“Th-this is a Healing-type ability?!” Su Jin couldn’t help but exclaim aloud.
“Miss Chu, you are actually a dual-element ability user!”
Control and Healing dual abilities!
Heavens, she had actually encountered a dual-element ability user!
Jiang Chuan was so pleasantly surprised that he started jumping on the spot. “Ahhh! Sister Xun, you are too amazing! I want to follow you forever!”
He knew that Sister Xun was a hidden powerhouse!
As he spoke, he looked triumphantly at Su Jin and Wang Peng. I managed to latch onto Sister Xun’s thigh; can you guys do the same?
Chao Xun curled her lips into a smile. Is repairing something considered an ability?
In that case, she had many.
Come to think of it, she knew many spells related to wind, rain, thunder, and lightning—summoning wind and rain, or calling down lightning and thunderbolts. If put that way, wouldn’t she possess all four elemental abilities: wind, rain, thunder, and electricity simultaneously?
Chao Xun retracted her spiritual power, her complexion appearing somewhat pale. Her cultivation was still too low; simply repairing Lou Lihan’s body and meridians had already exhausted her.
Power—I need more power!
Chao Xun did not let anyone see her anomaly. She wiped the bloodstains off Lou Lihan’s body and handed him over to Chen Yi.
“Store him away. Return him to me after we get back to the base.”
Chen Yi’s attitude toward her was excellent at this moment. “Understood, Miss Chu.”
In the apocalypse, strength is honored above all else. Moreover, Miss Chu had said she could bring Team Leader Lou back to life. Although it sounded like a fantasy, what if it were true?
Hope couldn’t help but ignite in Su Jin’s heart. If Team Leader Lou could really come back to life, that would be wonderful. She wondered if Team Leader Lou would pledge himself to her in return. After all, Miss Chu was his savior.
Chen Yi stored Lou Lihan’s body away and asked subconsciously, “Miss Chu, how shall we proceed?”
She now believed that in this team, Chu Chaoxun was the one in charge.
Chao Xun looked at the stains on her clothes and frowned.
Zhang Yuan and Jiang Qing, who had been standing by like wooden statues, finally found a way to be useful. With great perceptiveness, they ran over carrying a set of clean clothes.
“Sister Xun, these are new clothes. We checked, the material is celestial silk—not itchy at all. They were just washed and dried, please try them on.”
After witnessing Chao Xun’s abilities, they had been completely won over. Their initial resistance to using abilities for washing and drying clothes was gone; they even took pride in it. If they didn’t cling to such a powerful figure, they would be fools.
Chao Xun raised an eyebrow at them, nodded, and took the clothes. “Not bad.”
Jiang Chuan suddenly felt a sense of crisis. His status as Sister Xun’s number one follower was in jeopardy! He hurried over and glared at Zhang Yuan and Jiang Qing.
Chao Xun got into the car and changed into the new clothes within her spiritual space. As for the old set, she tossed them onto the ground.
Only then did Jiang Chuan get into the car, and Zhang Yuan and Jiang Qing quickly scrambled into the back seat.
Su Jin walked to the car window and asked, “Miss Chu, are we heading straight back to the base?”
Chao Xun nodded. “Give the route to the base to Jiang Chuan, and follow behind our car.”
Su Jin replied, “Alright.”
Chao Xun sat in the passenger seat, holding Qilin. “Follow the directions I give. Do not wake me up unless necessary.”
Jiang Chuan had been with her for a while now and was very clear about some of her habits. “Sister Xun, rest easy. I definitely won’t let anyone disturb you.”
Chao Xun had already closed her eyes.
Jiang Chuan followed the direction Chao Xun gave. The journey was smooth; except for encountering a few scattered zombies, he faced almost no other danger.
He was not surprised by this, but Zhang Yuan, Jiang Qing, and Su Jin’s group following behind were stunned.
Since the beginning of the apocalypse, they had never traveled such a safe route. Just on this trip out from the base, they had encountered countless zombies, not to mention being besieged by mutated creatures, which had led to Team Leader Lou’s death.
Wang Peng couldn’t help but speak up in his car: “Vice Team Leader Su, do you think Miss Chu has been taking routes like this all month?”
Su Jin shook her head. “I don’t know.”
Then, she said sternly, “From now on, show respect to Miss Chu. If I hear any of those things said before, don’t blame me for taking action!”
Wang Peng nodded quickly. “Don’t worry, Vice Team Leader. Whenever I see Miss Chu in the future, I will definitely be respectful and will never say anything I shouldn’t.”
She was already so powerful, and a dual-element user to boot—unless he had a death wish, he wouldn’t dare act recklessly in front of Miss Chu.
Chen Yi also nodded in agreement. “Do you think Miss Chu can really revive Team Leader Lou?”
Su Jin’s eyes dimmed slightly. “I have never heard of any ability that can bring the dead back to life.”
Now that she thought about it, could it be that Miss Chu had such deep feelings for the team leader that she couldn’t accept the reality of his death, leading her to say she could resurrect him?
“Enough, let’s stop guessing. We’ll know if she can or not once we get back to the base.”
As she spoke, she took out her communicator and began contacting the Central Base. She needed to report to the Commander-in-Chief that they had found Miss Chu.
However, after a good while, Su Jin frowned.
The base did not reply.
Could something have happened at the base?
Seeing this, Chen Yi asked, “Vice Team Leader Su, can’t you contact the base? Perhaps the communication is unstable; we can try again later.”
The longer the apocalypse went on, the more difficult communication became.
Su Jin nodded, but her heart remained uneasy. This communicator was specifically for contacting the Commander-in-Chief. Generally speaking, even if other communicators in the base were unstable, the Commander-in-Chief’s would not have any issues.
Unless all communication in the base was paralyzed.
When they left the base, the Commander-in-Chief’s health was already poor. She didn’t know how he was doing now.
The car drove for several hours until Chao Xun opened her eyes, and Jiang Chuan stopped the car.
“Sister Xun, what would you like to eat today? I’ll make it.”
Zhang Yuan and Jiang Qing in the back seat also quickly added, “Sister Xun, our cooking isn’t bad either, especially our spicy dishes. Would you like to try our cooking?”
Chao Xun’s voice was languid. “Jiang Chuan, you arrange it with them. A few spicy dishes sound good. Tell them my dietary restrictions.”
Jiang Chuan smiled and agreed, then turned around, his face cooling as he glared at the two men. Stealing my position! These two are definitely here to steal my position!
Zhang Yuan and Jiang Qing didn’t get angry despite being glared at, keeping their grinning expressions.
Jiang Chuan: They look even more punchable now.
He selected some ingredients from the car and got out. “Whatever dishes you are good at making, grab the ingredients yourselves. It’s perfect—one Water-type and one Fire-type; one adds water, one starts the fire. That’s great.”
Su Jin parked her car and walked over. “Why stop driving? Before it gets dark, we should find a safe place to rest.”
It was rare to encounter such a smooth route; if it were her, she would have driven as far as possible.
Jiang Chuan was setting up the stove and putting the pot on. “No can do, Sister Xun needs to eat.”
Sister Xun didn’t like canned goods; she liked freshly cooked food. If Sister Xun went hungry, her mood would become very bad, and once she was in a bad mood, her temper would flare up.
