Chapter 13 Earthquake
Yu Yao didn't pay much attention to his dilemma, because it would be too risky for Luo Mei, who was still in a coma with a high fever, to team up with others rashly.
So he simply refused, saying, "No need, I have companions with me."
"You can come together."
"Her situation is a bit special, so it's inconvenient for her to come with you. Thank you for your kindness. Also, thank you for your help today. If you need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
Her refusal was so decisive that even though Ye Ziang was prepared, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
However, he didn't say anything more.
It was Ji Yan, who seemed to be a man of few words, who took the initiative to speak up: "My name is Ji Yan. We are temporarily staying at A-2. If you need anything, you can find us there."
Yu Yao understood his good intentions and nodded with a smile.
He then waved to the two men and turned back to the villa wall where he had been staying.
Using the "Cloud Steps" technique, he lightly jumped, reached out, grabbed, and pushed off, flipping back into the courtyard.
When Ye Ziang and Ji Yan saw her climb over the wall instead of going through the door, they were completely convinced that she had taken advantage of the chaos to hide there.
Then, the two looked at each other.
They wanted to say something but dared not linger outside for too long, so they tacitly stood back to back, wary of each other, and walked toward Ye Ziang's house.
On the way, thinking about Yu Yao's unfamiliarity with him, Ye Ziang couldn't help but sigh, "It was just a rumor, what a pity."
Ji Yan remained silent as usual, while Ye Ziang, who was clearly used to it, continued, "I was quite excited when I first heard about it."
Although the original owner came from an ordinary family and had an introverted and aloof personality, she was exceptionally beautiful.
Upon entering the university, he shocked the entire university town, including Ocean University of China.
I heard that talent scouts have been waiting for her time and time again, just to get her to debut.
Imagine being liked by such a beautiful girl, who wouldn't be excited?
Thinking of this, Ye Ziang sighed again.
A few seconds later, he patted his chest, feeling both relieved and fearful. "Thank goodness I didn't go up to her and get carried away, or I would have been really in trouble!"
Ji Yan: "......"
"Sigh, I pride myself on being good at judging people, yet I made the same mistake twice with her! How come we never realized she was so capable before?" Ye Ziang shook his head and sighed.
I thought Ji Yan would remain silent, but to my surprise, he suddenly spoke.
"I have seen."
"What?"
"I've seen her teach a lesson to anyone who tried to bully her."
Ye Ziang let out a long "Huh?" and asked curiously, "How come I've never heard you mention this before?"
Ji Yan did not answer his question because he had some doubts.
In his memory, Yu Yao back then was somewhat different from how she is now.
......
On the other side, Yu Yao nimbly climbed back into the yard, casually took off her hood, and pushed open the door to enter the house.
On the sofa, Luo Mei was still fast asleep, but the dot on the map that belonged to her had gradually settled on purple and was getting brighter and brighter.
Yu Yao was certain that she would become a powerful superhuman.
After resting for a while, Yu Yao went out again before it got completely dark.
She first went to close the large iron gate next to the security booth in the villa area.
They also found several cars in the villa area to block the gaps, ensuring that the zombies wouldn't be able to get in for a while.
Then they went to clear out the few remaining zombies in the villa area and some zombies still trapped in their homes.
She did all this because a tsunami, earthquake, and volcanic eruption were expected to occur simultaneously the next morning.
To prevent Ye Ziang and the others from being injured by zombies while running out in a panic, they cleared the area beforehand.
This is a way of thanking them for their help.
......
The next day, Yu Yao's memory was verified once again.
The sky had just begun to brighten when the earth began to tremble without warning.
Although the tremors were not very strong, they lasted a long time, and the sounds of objects falling were heard one after another, along with screams and curses.
Yu Yao, who had already moved Luo Mei to an open space in the courtyard, sat on the ground, idly waiting for the earthquake to pass.
While doing so, he also mentally observed the movements of other people in the villa area.
Thanks to the sudden arrival of the apocalypse, most people were too terrified to sleep.
This also directly resulted in many people having enough time to react when the earthquake started.
Although things were still in chaos, most people escaped from their houses, while some ran directly out of the yard, fearing they might be crushed to death in their own homes.
Through the iron gate of the courtyard, Yu Yao saw Ji Yan from A-2 running out with several other young people not far away.
Yu Yao and he exchanged a glance through the iron gate.
After confirming that Yu Yao was safe, Ji Yan nodded slightly to her and then looked away.
Yu Yao didn't look at her anymore, and instead focused her attention back on Luo Mei.
Luo Mei woke up amidst this shaking.
She lay on the flat ground in the yard, with a comfortable Simmons mattress beneath her.
Beside him sat Yu Yao on the ground, her nostrils filled with the pungent smell of sulfur.
She looked around in a daze, then wobbled up, supporting herself on the mattress with her hands.
"This...an earthquake?!" For a moment, she couldn't tell if it was an earthquake or if she had slept too long and her mind was foggy.
"Yes, there was an earthquake."
Having received the correct answer, Luo Mei gasped slightly, rubbing her head, which was still a little dizzy from being shaken, and cursed, "Damn it! When will this stupid world ever end!"
Yu Yao: "......"
"Damn, I'm dizzy!"
These persistent, minor earthquakes feel much like a car driving on a bumpy road for an extended period of time.
It can easily cause dizziness and nausea in people who have just woken up and whose minds are not yet clear.
“…” Yu Yao looked at her quietly.
"Ugh... I can't spit it out!"
"..."
What a fluent and unrestrained monologue! Yu Yao was completely stunned.
However, seeing Luo Mei's chapped lips, Yu Yao thoughtfully took out a bottle of mineral water and two pieces of bread from her backpack and handed them to her while the tremors were not so strong.
He then said, "Would you like some water to replenish your energy?"
Seeing Yu Yao conjure something out of thin air, Luo Mei's alluring fox-like eyes lit up with astonishing light. "Oh! Oh??? You...you have special abilities too!"
Before she was injured, she noticed that some people could suddenly unleash special abilities during battle.
She had felt something was wrong from the beginning, but it wasn't until she heard Yu Yao mention awakened superpowers before she lost consciousness that she realized what was going on.
Yu Yao blinked her big eyes and nodded, "Yes, spatial ability."
Luo Mei's expression instantly changed to one of admiration and envy. "So convenient, damn it!"
As she spoke, her expression slowly began to freeze.
"Hiss~ Why do I feel like something's not right? Wait, what's this?"
As Luo Mei spoke, she began to concentrate and feel.
Half a minute later, she closed her eyes briefly and then opened them again, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.
"I can sense movement within a 100-meter radius! Hmm? Something's not right!"
Luo Mei frowned, her long, arched eyebrows furrowing. "How did all these ugly things get down? Who did this? Who's so powerful that they took down all these things? It couldn't have been you, could it?"
The earthquake continued, and Luo Mei was dizzy from the shaking, but she was unusually excited and kept talking incessantly.
Just as Yu Yao was about to explain, a loud bang was heard. It turned out that the pillar at the entrance of the villa had collapsed, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Cough cough cough, ptooey!" Luo Mei coughed a few times.
I was a little annoyed and was still thinking about how to get rid of all this dust.
A transparent hemispherical light shield, three meters in diameter, suddenly appeared beside Luo Mei and Yu Yao, firmly protecting them and keeping them from the dust.
Luo Mei was dumbfounded.
"Me...go?"
Yu Yao stared in amazement at the transparent sphere of light beside her, her voice trembling slightly: "This is... a mental energy shield?"
If nothing unexpected happens, Luo Mei has awakened her psychic abilities.
Not only can they use their mental energy to detect their surroundings, but they can also condense a mental energy shield.
If one's mental strength becomes strong enough in the future, one can use it to attack the brains of other people and thus control them.
Luo Mei, on the other hand, is someone whose mental power can extend to 100 meters and even condense a mental power shield after just awakening her abilities.
He is undoubtedly an extremely talented person with an immeasurable future.
"What the heck? What shield?" Luo Mei was still a little confused.
Yu Yao didn't explain much, but instead took a tablet out of the warehouse.
He pulled out a pre-downloaded post-apocalyptic novel for her and said, "You can take a look at it."
Luo Mei blinked her big eyes, looking completely bewildered.
"......ah?"
