Chapter 12 Superpower
With the wind at her command, Yu Yao had a clear goal. Even though the zombie was a master of escape, she quickly slew it.
He became the first zombie to contribute crystal cores to Yu Yao at the same time.
"Killed a level 1 psychic zombie, gained 200 experience points, 555 gold coins, and 1 level 1 psychic core."
The reward information quietly entered her mind, and Yu Yao thought to herself, "Just as I expected."
No wonder this zombie's glowing spot is larger than the others; it's a higher-level zombie.
Higher-level zombies not only gradually regain their intelligence as they level up, but they also naturally gain the ability to command zombies of lower levels than themselves.
That's why the zombies were relentlessly pursuing Luo Mei.
One reason is that Luo Mei was injured and left behind a bloody smell.
On the other hand, this zombie realized that Luo Mei might awaken powerful superpowers and wanted to devour her to strengthen itself!
However, to be fair, level one zombies have already appeared at the very beginning of the apocalypse.
It seems that the evolution of zombies is indeed much easier than that of humans.
......
After killing the level 1 zombie, the remaining zombies became much easier to deal with.
Ye Ziang didn't want to be a burden. After calming himself down a few times, he gripped his knife tightly again and gritted his teeth as he desperately slashed at the surrounding zombies.
The three of them cleared out the zombies that had gathered there in just a few minutes.
The experience points from dozens of zombies plus the experience points from level 1 zombies allowed Yu Yao to successfully level up to level 6.
As his physique and agility improved further, his physical condition also returned to its best, and the fatigue from fighting zombies earlier vanished.
A gentle breeze blew by, and the girl, dressed in a black fitted hoodie, had a few strands of long hair flying out from the hood and moving in the wind.
Her long legs were encased in black cargo pants, and her ankle boots added a touch of coolness.
Her fair and delicate face was stained with specks of zombie blood. She stood proudly holding two swords, a figure both Buddha and demon, her beauty striking straight to the heart.
After the black blood slowly slid off the blades, Yu Yao calmly put the two knives back into her backpack. The two pairs of eyes immediately changed from amazement to surprise.
"Where's your knife?! Where are yours?!" Ye Ziang pointed at Yu Yao's empty hands, too shocked to speak properly.
Yu Yao turned her head to look at them, meeting Ye Ziang's horrified dog-like eyes, and explained, "We already have zombies, is it strange to awaken a superpower?"
Many people have awakened superpowers since the apocalypse. While spatial ability users are rare, they are not uncommon.
Therefore, Yu Yao was determined from the beginning to disguise herself as a spatial ability user, which would save her a lot of trouble.
"Special... special ability?" Ye Ziang clearly did not understand Yu Yao's meaning.
Yu Yao immediately realized that the two of them, who were faint purple dots on the map, had awakened supernatural abilities without their knowledge.
So he said, "You can calm down and carefully feel if there is any extra energy in your body. Maybe you have awakened as well."
Ji Yan didn't talk much, but he reacted quickly. After hearing Yu Yao's words, he immediately understood what she meant and quickly closed his eyes to sense it.
And he quickly realized that something was wrong with his body.
He quickly raised his right hand, trying to guide the energy to his right palm.
A moment later, the air in Ji Yan's palm began to distort.
Then, as a chill gathered, an icicle, about the length of a finger and the thickness of a chopstick, slowly condensed and appeared in his palm, floating and rotating up and down according to his will.
It turned out to be a rare ice-type ability.
In the original owner's memories, the most common supernatural abilities were those related to the five elements.
That is, the five elemental abilities of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as speed, strength, and the five senses.
Secondly, there are mutated wind, lightning, ice, light, and dark elemental abilities.
The rarest are healing abilities, mental abilities, and spatial abilities.
Of course, there are also some strange and unusual superpowers.
For example, enhancing superpowers can increase the combat power of others, essentially making them a humanoid piece of equipment.
There are also other superpowers such as invisibility, shapeshifting, precognition, object manipulation, and communication with plants and animals, and so on.
Among all superpowers, fire, lightning, ice, and dark are generally recognized as having the strongest offensive power.
Anyone who awakens one of these special abilities is highly sought after by various bases.
Of course, rare healing, mental, spatial, and precognitive abilities are even more sought after.
When Ye Ziang saw the ice spike in Ji Yan's palm, his eyes widened suddenly, and in his excitement, a spark appeared in his palm.
But it was fleeting; after a brief flash of light, only a wisp of black smoke remained, slowly rising.
Ye Ziang: ? ? ?
Upon seeing this, Yu Yao chuckled and said, "Fire and ice types? Very strong."
Ye Ziang's expression darkened as he thought of his fleeting little flame.
Are you kidding us?
Yu Yao smiled gently and said, "It's normal that your abilities are weak now that you've just awakened them. As your control and abilities gradually improve, they will become stronger."
Ye Ziang's eyes lit up.
"Really?"
"Ah."
Ye Ziang then smiled and said, "Thank you, Yu Yao."
"You're welcome, and thank you for helping me."
This villa area has few people, but that doesn't mean it's deserted.
But when she was killing zombies, only these two young men in front of her resisted their fear and stepped forward to help her.
Regardless of the other party's motives, she should express her gratitude.
Yu Yao's distant manner made Ye Ziang look at her strangely for a few moments before finally asking, "You...don't you recognize us?"
Yu Yao paused for a moment, then said honestly, "It looks somewhat familiar."
Ji Yan: ......
Yu Yao's excessive sincerity shattered Ye Zi'ang's heart. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and mutter angrily:
"No way? You don't know us? Then how come some people say you have a crush on me? Honestly, this just makes people happy for nothing!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Yao's brows twitched slightly, as she did recall something.
During her university years, the original owner was indeed rumored to have a crush on someone, apparently the student council president, who was a year ahead of her.
Upon closer inspection, isn't this the boy in front of me?
Despite his earlier apparent fear, Ye Ziang was a true prodigy and a prominent figure in university.
He is good-looking, comes from a good family, is popular, and is capable.
There were countless girls in school who liked him, and Yu Yao had met him a few times through some school activities.
Because the original owner was rather withdrawn and rarely interacted with the opposite sex.
Therefore, his few interactions with Ye Ziang were particularly noticeable, and that's how the rumors started.
However, since it was just a rumor, given the original owner's personality, she would never bother to go through the trouble of proving her innocence, so she just let it spread.
"It was just a joke by my classmates."
Yu Yao didn't respond to his comment, and Ye Ziang didn't feel awkward. He quickly adjusted his mindset and introduced himself with a smile: "My name is Ye Ziang, your schoolmate. We've met before."
Yu Yao nodded, "Yes, I remember now."
Hearing this, Ye Ziang was satisfied and said, "That's good, that's good. By the way, do you live here too? I've never seen you before."
"No, I hid in the chaos."
"Really? I happen to have an apartment around here. Do you want to come and hide at my place? There's strength in numbers, right?"
Ye Ziang paused at this point.
Recalling how Yu Yao had killed the zombies earlier, he couldn't quite understand whether Yu Yao needed his so-called "strength in numbers".
Ye Ziang and Ji Yan, along with a dozen or so other student council members, had come here for team building, but the apocalypse struck suddenly, and they were all trapped here.
After the group slept for several days, five of them turned into terrifying undead, or zombies as they are often called in movies and TV shows.
Fortunately, Ye Ziang's father had a hobby of collecting cold weapons, which gave Ji Yan and Ye Ziang the opportunity to organize the remaining people to take up arms and resist.
Finally, he survived after losing another classmate.
Now there are only six people left, four men and two women.
Ye Ziang felt that the fighting strength of the six of them was no match for Yu Yao's at all, and it sounded like he was trying to take advantage of her.
I was also worried that she might not be able to handle things alone, and that it would be more convenient to have companions around if any unexpected situation occurred.
