78: Murong Xue’s Shock

“Rest for one day first; tomorrow we’ll check whether the wound on your arm gets infected, and if it doesn’t, I’ll install the experimental equipment for you.”

Shen Yi escorted Lin Zhiwei to Qu Xiaoxiao’s place, gave a few final instructions, left some antibiotics and gauze, and then departed.

Although he wanted Lin Zhiwei to work like an ox, he still had to let her heal before using him.

Qu Xiaoxiao looked at the injured Lin Zhiwei, hesitated a little, and still asked with concern, “Uh, how did you get hurt? Does it hurt?”

Their relationship was rather awkward.

But in an apocalypse this sort of thing was not that hard to accept.

As an otaku-streamer, Qu Xiaoxiao had watched plenty of apocalypse harem anime and novels, so she could adjust to the idea quickly.

More importantly, she lacked both the standing and the strength to reject Shen Yi.

“Scraped by spider silk,” Lin Zhiwei answered tersely.

“Spider silk? A spider did this?”

Qu Xiaoxiao froze for a moment.

Lin Zhiwei grunted, lost in thought and in no mood to chat.

Seeing her indifference, Qu Xiaoxiao merely said “Oh,” stopped trying to curry favor, and got up to wash.

Because Shen Yi was a bit of a neat freak, he supplied each of his women with bottled water for daily washing.

…

He left Qu Xiaoxiao’s apartment.

Shen Yi activated Telepathy and headed straight for the home of apocalypse enthusiast Murong Xue.

She was currently the highest-rated woman.

In figure, looks, and aura she was the best Shen Yi had ever seen.

So he had coveted Murong Xue’s shelter for a long time.

If he hadn’t spent the past two days unlocking Lin Zhiwei and Qu Xiaoxiao’s supplies and emptying the virus research facility, he would have made his move long ago.

“Huh?”

“That woman actually isn’t home?”

Shen Yi swept with Telepathy; the lit apartment on the 18th floor held no one.

Where had she gone?

It was already the apocalypse, yet she still dared to roam around?

He focused his mind and scanned the entire building for Murong Xue’s trace.

That woman had better not have died while fooling around.

Otherwise Shen Yi would take a huge loss!

“Hm?”

After searching for a bit, Shen Yi suddenly showed an unexpected expression.

He had located Murong Xue.

However, this stranger Murong Xue was actually with his little sister!

The two were chatting and seemed to be getting along well.

“I’ve been gone only a day, yet it feels like so much has happened.”

Shen Yi frowned.

Was this woman approaching his sister and Grandma with ill intent?

He didn’t believe that a woman who had filled her own home with traps would befriend his sister without a plan.

Pondering this, Shen Yi teleported to the door, chose not to enter directly, and knocked.

“Big Bro, you’re finally back!”

The door opened; Shen Su leapt over joyfully, hugged Shen Yi’s arm tight, and dragged him inside.

Once inside, Shen Su immediately introduced, “Sister Murong, this is my big brother, Shen Yi!”

“Mr. Shen, hello.”

Murong Xue stood and gave Shen Yi a friendly smile.

Yet, her heart suddenly tightened.

The space-type superpower user she had observed earlier turned out to be Shen Su’s brother!

She was stunned!!

The changes in this life were simply too huge!!!

Shen Su had appeared in Shancheng ahead of time and, inexplicably, had even moved into her complex…

In the previous life, Shen Su should have shown up more than 2 months later.

Moreover, in that life her brother had supposedly disappeared!

Shen Su had come to the area near Shancheng University to search for her brother, and the reason she never left campus was also to look for him.

Yet in this life, her brother was actually still alive!

Murong Xue almost suspected that Shen Su was also a Reincarnator!

That was why she had approached Shen Su.

However, through their conversation she realized Shen Su had no memories of the past life, proving she was not a Transmigrator.

So did that mean everything happening now was just the butterfly effect?

But how could the butterfly effect be this huge!?

She had done a few things to change her own trajectory, yet that shouldn’t have affected Shen Su!

And the impact was this thorough…

Setting Murong Xue’s mental storm aside, Shen Su happily explained to Shen Yi, “Big Bro, this sister’s name is Murong Xue. While you were away the neighbor next door kept pounding on our door. I did what you said: I didn’t open it or respond!”

“But he would pound every so often, and Grandma and I were really scared… then Sister Murong Xue showed up and drove that bad neighbor away!”

Shen Yi’s brows knitted slightly.

He immediately released Telepathy and glanced into the neighbor’s apartment.

As a result, that neighbor was already lying dead inside.

A crossbow bolt was stuck in his head.

The bolt was identical to the ones in Murong Xue’s home.

Shen Yi retracted Telepathy, cast a surprised glance at Murong Xue, and said calmly, “Thank you.”

“It was nothing, just a small favor,” Murong Xue replied with a gentle smile.

But inside she was nervous to death!

She felt not only nervous but shocked and incredulous!

During their brief conversation she had clearly sensed another strong fluctuation coming from Shen Yi.

So the one who had probed her with a perception-type superpower earlier was not that woman but Shen Yi!!

In other words, this man actually possessed 2 superpowers!!!

Murong Xue was shaken to the core.

Getting 2 superpowers in the early stage of the apocalypse… what kind of blessed luck was that?!

With such insane luck, why had he died so quickly in the previous life?!

Or, had he not died at all but simply left Shancheng early?

That didn’t make sense either… if he had left Shancheng early, he should have gone home to his family, not vanished without a trace.

Otherwise Shen Su wouldn’t have traveled so far to look for him…

It was illogical, completely illogical.

Murong Xue brainstormed nonstop yet still could not piece it together.

“Miss Murong, I’ll dispense with the pleasantries. If you ever need help, feel free to come to me.”

Shen Yi spoke with a smile.

He once again confirmed in his heart that Murong Xue was anything but simple!

Previously Shen Yi had merely thought she was a hardcore apocalypse fan.

He hadn’t expected she would dare to kill!

A woman who had built an apocalypse shelter, stockpiled piles of food and water, armed herself to the teeth, and was willing to kill… she really felt like a character from some novel.

Shen Yi fell into thought.

After that, the three chatted for a while before Murong Xue excused herself, pretending to be tired, and left.

“Susu, take these superpower fruits and eat them.”

Shen Yi took a handful of superpower fruits from System Space and handed them to Shen Su.

They were all Telepathy superpower fruits.

That superpower was very practical.

Although his little sister didn’t need to go out and was unlikely to encounter danger, the superpower could serve as a backup.

As for why he hadn’t given them earlier, it was because of the superpower limit.

Shen Yi had originally wanted to arrange 2 stronger superpowers for his sister.

Although Telepathy was useful, it was a bit weak and lacked combat power, so it wasn’t worth occupying a superpower slot.

But other superpower fruits were hard to find, so he settled on Telepathy for now.

Later he would look for other ways to see if he could break the superpower limit.

“Wow, Big Bro, did you dig up a superpower fruit tree somewhere? There are so many fruits!!”

Shen Su’s face lit up with delight.

Shen Yi chuckled and then explained to his sister how to use Telepathy and that eating more superpower fruits would level it up.

Then, he left some more food and water, made an excuse, and departed as well.

After walking out the door, he headed straight for Murong Xue’s apartment on the 18th floor!
