Chapter 53: Police Officer Qin Xiang and Two Superpower Fruits

“Rustle, rustle…”

The eerie sound immediately made Qin Xiang turn her head.

She saw a mutated cockroach, as big as an adult’s palm, fly out of the black fog!

No, not just one!

There were many of them!!

They were countless; she couldn’t tally their number in such a short time!!

There were at least over a hundred!!!

These mutated cockroaches fluttered their wings, producing a grating “rustle” sound.

Their roles were clear: some went to devour the mutated golden retriever’s corpse on the ground, while the others flew toward Qin Xiang, emitting shrill noises.

Qin Xiang’s expression changed drastically the moment she saw the mutated cockroaches.

She never expected the cockroaches she had always detested to have mutated, let alone appear in such numbers all at once!

How disgusting!!

Qin Xiang immediately raised her gun, aimed, and fired while quickly retreating.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

Qin Xiang’s marksmanship was extremely precise, with nearly every shot hitting a cockroach’s head.

To her shock, the mutated cockroach she had killed seeped yellow liquid after falling, then its shell cracked open, and a dozen small cockroaches swarmed out!

Although these newborn cockroaches were smaller, their numbers were astonishing; they quickly swarmed together and leapt at Qin Xiang again.

At this rate, the cockroaches would only multiply with every kill!

Qin Xiang’s face contorted; she dared not fire more bullets and ran back through the hospital gates, slamming and locking the doors behind her.

However, the cockroaches outside showed no sign of leaving, furiously banging against the glass doors.

Worse still, tiny cockroaches were trying to squeeze in through the door’s gaps.

Qin Xiang’s expression grew grave as she stomped on the intruding cockroaches while anxiously thinking of a solution.

If she didn’t eliminate these mutated cockroaches, she and her subordinates would surely die inside the hospital today!

They might even endanger any survivors still inside the hospital…

She didn’t even know if there were any survivors in the hospital.

…

“How disgusting these cockroaches are!”

Shen Yi activated Telepathy before entering the hospital and, through a god’s-eye view, saw a heroic female police officer single-handedly battling a mutated golden retriever and then grappling with a swarm of mutated cockroaches.

He had to admit that these mutated cockroaches were incredibly troublesome, for when they were killed, they instantly hatched a bunch of small cockroaches… truly disgusting.

Shen Yi had no desire to confront these mutated cockroaches, so he chose to take a detour into the building.

If not for the medical supplies in this building, he wouldn’t have come at all.

It wasn’t that he feared the mutated cockroaches; he was simply grossed out.

However, he watched thoughtfully through his god’s-eye view as the female officer used her wits and strength against the cockroach horde.

“This police officer is incredibly strong… she actually punched a more-than-3-meter-long mutated golden retriever flying.”

“Could this be a superpower too?”

Shen Yi speculated reasonably.

After all, weighing at most 115 jin, this officer couldn’t possibly have such horrifying burst strength.

The reason Shen Yi had endured the disgust of watching the mutated cockroach battle for so long was because of this officer’s uniqueness.

Moreover, she had triggered a System notification.

[Ding!]

[Detected a Goddess meeting System criteria; beginning detailed scan]

[Name: Qin Xiang]

[Age: 29]

[Appearance: 93 points]

[Figure: 96 points]

[Inner Quality: 100 points (untouched by worldly affairs)]

[Total Score: 95 points]

[Assessment: Sheltering her unlocks one random supply item]

A 29-year-old police officer.

Without the System prompt, Shen Yi wouldn’t have realized this officer met the System’s criteria.

Her face was filthy and her hair greasy, showing almost no signs of beauty from the outside.

On the surface, she just had a good figure and strong combat skills.

Who would have thought her looks would score as high as 93, putting her at Goddess level?

“If she survives, I’ll meet her again.”

Shen Yi murmured and stopped focusing his attention on the officer.

First, he would scour for medical supplies.

He wondered if the black fog would affect the supplies.

He scanned the entire building with Telepathy, quickly located the storeroom for medical supplies, teleported there directly, and began transferring them into System Space.

He loaded everything, known or unknown, as long as it was unmutated, into his inventory!

During the looting, Shen Yi used Telepathy to scan the entire building, hoping to find a doctor to bring back.

For some reason, there was not a single doctor or nurse in the entire building… only dozens of probable inpatients trapped in the top-floor wards.

This struck Shen Yi as a pity.

His team lacked a doctor, so falling ill or getting injured would be troublesome.

“In a couple of days, I’ll make a trip to the city hospital; maybe there’s still a doctor there,” Shen Yi thought as he continued looting.

After clearing out the entire storeroom’s medicines, Shen Yi teleported away.

Arriving on the third floor, he also packed away some medical equipment!

Although this equipment required electricity, it would function normally with a generator.

After a thorough raid that almost cleared the hospital bare, Shen Yi was finally satisfied and left the building.

Next, he activated Telepathy to locate the officer he had seen earlier.

The female officer and another male officer had already left the hospital and were running through the black fog.

Behind them, over a hundred mutated cockroaches were in pursuit.

They had actually lured the mutated cockroaches away.

Were they afraid of endangering those inside the hospital?

They were too kind for their own good.

They had hardly fared well themselves and yet still worried about others.

Shen Yi cracked open a fruit as he followed them from a distance.

With Telepathy, as long as he stayed within a kilometer, he could lock onto the officer’s position.

While tracking the officer, Shen Yi also scanned the vegetation within a kilometer, searching for superpower fruits.

He discovered that superpower fruits were indeed rare; finding even one was difficult.

“If one must consume large quantities of superpower fruits to increase superpower levels, then it’s nearly impossible for others to upgrade.”

“After all, I ate nearly ten fruits just to raise my Telepathy from level 1 to level 2.”

“Leveling to three required even twice as many.”

“The higher the superpower level, the more fruits are needed… Considering the rarity of superpower fruits, an ordinary person reaching level 2 would already be remarkable, let alone level 7 or 8.”

Shen Yi was speechless at the thought.

If not for the System enabling him to unlock superpower fruits, he’d be just like any ordinary person.

Perhaps there are other ways to upgrade besides eating superpower fruits, but none as convenient as simply consuming the fruits.

Eating superpower fruits to upgrade comes with virtually no side effects!

For example, the only side effect of the Telepathy fruit was that one had to eat it more slowly.

As long as one didn’t eat too many at once and took breaks, they could continue without any impact on the body.

“Hm?”

“What is this…?”

After following the officer for two kilometers, Shen Yi suddenly noticed through his god’s-eye view that a dozen or so armed civilians were besieging two mutated domestic cats on her route.

Among them, the leader was even holding a handgun!

“Why are these people risking it to fight mutated animals… are they here just for the meat?”

Shen Yi was puzzled.

Could one eat the meat of mutated animals?

He wasn’t sure.

Maybe it was actually possible.

But as he got closer, Shen Yi realized he might have guessed wrong.

Because he saw through his god’s-eye view that behind those two mutated domestic cats were several normal plants.

And on the roots of those normal plants were two colorful fruits.

They were superpower fruits!

And there were actually two!!

Surprised, Shen Yi immediately sensed that these people had more than simple motives…
