Yuan Tianxing never thought that the water from the underground river could still hurt him.
“I think we better seal this place off. We can’t let those things come out through the river.” After landing in a safe area, Old Guo looked back and said with a frown.
“I’ll try to do that. You guys can go,” said Yuan Tianxing as he glanced upstream. After the last surge, the water level of the underground river had risen largely. As the strongest earth power possessor among all, he was the only one who could seal the river off.
“Are you going alone? That’s too dangerous!” Li Zheng strongly disagreed.
“You guys can’t help me. Just go! Don’t stay here, because accidents can happen,” said Yuan Tianxing to him and the others expressionlessly.
Li Zheng turned to Old Guo, wis.h.i.+ng that the zombie old man would help him convince the other. He still didn’t agree with Yuan Tianxing, but the latter’s words made sense. The others could only hinder him.
Unexpectedly, Old Guo patted Yuan Tianxing on the shoulder and said, “Alright, you do it! We’ll be waiting for you by the cave entrance.” After saying that, the zombie old man turned and walked away.
“Oi…” With surprise, Li Zheng tried to say something else. But before he let out any word, Yuan Tianxing patted on his shoulder and said, “Alright, follow my order.”
“Yes, sir,” Li Zheng had no other choice and he followed Old Guo away along with the others.
…
Lin Wenwen, who had traveled seven years ago, purchased tons of goods using Dong Xinxin’s ident.i.ty. When the courier delivered the goods to the mansion of Dong Family with trucks, the butler and the bodyguards were all stunned.
Lin Wenwen had told the guards in advance to let in all the couriers, otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to enter the mansion!
Seeing countless bags of rice, flour, packaged food, and medicine piling up in the storage, the butler was really confused. He couldn’t help but drag Dong Lijia to a corner and ask him, “What on earth is Miss. Dong doing? Why did she buy so much rice and flour?”
Dong Xinxin was being really weird these days. Her preference for food had changed, and she spent all day in the gym or jogging in the woods in the backyard.
Was she still the lazy and gluttonous Dong Xinxin?
Lin Wenwen asked some people to carry all the goods into the storage, then kicked them all out and shut the door. After that, she put all the goods into her s.p.a.ce. Her s.p.a.ce had grown large now, so it could easily contain tens of tons of rice.
Compared with Dong Lijia, who was growing more and more worried, Lin Wenwen was pretty relaxed. In order to have her own body back, she had been trying very hard to lose Dong Xinxin’s weight, and also continued to convince her brother. However, for the sake of all the unpolluted food, she helped Dong Xinxin willingly.
Her s.p.a.ce was still with her. She brought the things that she kept in her s.p.a.ce in the future back to seven years ago, so she believed that she would also be able to bring things from the past to the future. She wasn’t worried about that. What she was worried about was if Dong Xinxin could really send her back to the future.
In the past few days, she had been communicating with Dong Xinxin, and had finally figured out what superpower the girl possessed.
She had the power of time travel, which was such an amazing power! In comparison with that, the ordinary s.p.a.ce power was nothing. In the post-apocalyptic era, s.p.a.ce power possessors were rare, but quite a few them existed in each base. However, compared with Dong Xinxin’s power, it was just average.
According to Dong Xinxin, she was able to travel back to any moment that she had experienced. In some way, she was able to manipulate time. When she traveled to the past, there would be two Dong Xinxin in that timeline. The two of them could merge into one as long as they looked at each other in the eyes.
She could bring herself to the past, but not by reversing the time.
The timespan that she could cover varied along with her power level. At first, she was only able to jump back half an hour ago. As she reached level-two, she could travel back for twelve hours. At level-three, she could go back to three days ago, and at level-four, that timespan became a month.
She never told anyone about her superpower. She joined a hunter group to kill zombies with knives and guns.
She, of course, didn’t have the courage to tell anyone about her special and great superpower. After surviving in the post-apocalyptic era for seven years, she was no longer the silly girl who would trust anyone she met.
Before she died, she drained her nucleus and triggered her power with the last bit of energy she had. To her surprise, she brought herself seven years ago.
“Those two girls are so eagerly attentive. They asked you out every couple of days. What happened to you guys in the future?” Lin Wenwen talked to Dong Xinxin while sorting the goods in the storage.
Recently, Qin Jiao and Lin Yuehui called Dong Xinxin almost every single day. They said that Dong Xinxin was so lonely before that she never really had fun, also that the summer vacation was the last chance for her to relax because she was going to start her last year in high school and prepare for the college entrance examination. By then, she would have no time to hang out with her friends.
While saying all those nice words to her, they were actually thinking about taking her to some crowded place and embarra.s.sing her somehow. That was how Lin Wenwen felt after spending some time with those two wicked girls recently.
“After the apocalypse, Qin Jiao turned into a zombie but Lin Yuehui didn’t. She attained water power. On her way fleeing to a base, she managed to become a core member of a group,” said Dong Xinxin in Lin Wenwen’s mind.
“Weren’t you two together at that time?” Lin Wenwen asked.
“No. When the apocalypse happened, who could still look after the others? She wasn’t with us back then,” said Dong Xinxin blandly.
Lin Wenwen heard that and nodded.
At dinner, Lin Wenwen happily enjoyed the food while looking at all those dishes on the long dining table. Except for her and Dong Lijia, a middle-aged man and a good-looking woman were also at the table.
According to Dong Xinxin, her family was lucky. None of her family members turned into a zombie when the apocalypse happened. They didn’t attain superpowers either though. On their way to a base, her father had a conflict with someone else in order to save the last pack of instant noodle for his daughter and ended up being shot dead. Back at that time, their lives were worth nothing in the eyes of the people who had superpowers.
A few days after that, someone pushed her mother into the zombie crowd during a zombie attack. The zombies scratched her and then she killed herself.
After the old world ended, Dong Xinxin learned how evil human beings could be. Therefore, Lin Wenwen could also feel this coldness coming from her heart when talking to her.
