40: Gained the third superpower, Telepathy!

“If I told you I had other women, what would you do?”

After saying this, Shen Yi quietly looked at Su Yun.

To his surprise, Su Yun showed no shock; she merely sighed softly and said, “I knew it…”

“You’re such a young guy, yet you kissed me so skillfully… obviously you’ve had plenty of girlfriends and plenty of practice.”

“If this were before, and you dared to force me, I would never have let you get away with it… no, I would have broken your third leg!”

As Su Yun spoke, she deliberately bared her teeth at Shen Yi in a mock-fierce grin.

It was not scary at all; on the contrary, it was rather cute.

Then Su Yun sighed and said helplessly, “But in this world now there is no law, let alone morality.”

“The fact that you’ve survived this long and even dared to go out to save people proves you have some ability; if you want women, plenty of women will be willing to follow you.”

“So I’m really not surprised that you have other women… it just feels a little uncomfortable, because I thought you would belong only to me.”

Speaking up to this point, Su Yun still looked a little unwilling as she asked, “From the way you’re being so honest, you don’t plan to abandon the others and stay with me alone, do you?”

“Mm.” Shen Yi did not lie, nor did he need to.

Not only would he keep the women he already had, he would take in even more later.

There was no other way!

If he wanted to unlock more supplies and survive the apocalypse, he had to do this.

Of course, Shen Yi was not shifting the blame to the System for thinking this way.

He really wanted it himself as well.

Who wouldn’t enjoy the fine life of having a whole harem?

However, the current world was simply too dangerous!

Never mind the mutated giant tree downtown that could wipe out the entire city; he could not even deal with the mutated black spider lurking in the neighborhood.

Damn!

Getting stronger was the most pressing issue right now!

So he was destined not to give up the entire forest for Su Yun’s sake.

“I knew it.” Su Yun lay helplessly in Shen Yi’s arms, closed her eyes and murmured, “But if you really abandoned those women because of me, I’d look down on you even more.”

“Because if you did that, you might just as easily cast me aside for some other woman someday…”

Shen Yi said nothing and just patted Su Yun’s shoulder lightly.

The good thing about a mature woman was that she did not need so many explanations.

She already understood many truths.

Even if she did not, she could figure them out.

After cuddling for a while, the two finally dressed and prepared to return to the convenience store to pick up Zhou Wan’er and the other girl.

As for the teleportation he had just used, Shen Yi naturally explained it to Su Yun.

Another reason Su Yun had not resisted at once was that Shen Yi had teleported her into the shop, giving her quite a fright.

And that was a superpower!

When she learned that humans could acquire superpowers, Su Yun’s eyes lit up.

If everyone could obtain such miraculous powers, the chance of survival would rise enormously!

Shen Yi, however, thought that it was lucky his first superpower had been Physical Evolution.

Otherwise, with all the unlocking he had done these past few days, he would have been drained dry and would have had no energy left to fight mutated monsters.

…

They returned to the convenience store.

Shen Yi first skimmed through the stock.

Unfortunately, it was only a small shop; there had never been much inventory, most of it was now contaminated, and little of it was edible.

Still, it was better than nothing.

The greatest gain from this trip was still Su Yun!

Because of Su Yun, Shen Yi had been able to unlock the superpower fruit!

“Is this another of your superpowers?”

Su Yun exclaimed as she watched Shen Yi wave his hand and store away a large number of supplies.

Shen Yi answered with a soft acknowledgment.

Then.

He called the two girls hiding in the storeroom, Zhou Wan’er and the other one, out.

These two girls were truly cowards.

Even when Shen Yi and Su Yun came back making noise, they still did not come out right away.

Earlier, when Su Yun offered to lure the gecko away, they had looked touched, but in fact they had been eager for Su Yun to sacrifice herself.

They had thought only of saving themselves.

How shameless!

Almost as bad as Shen Yi himself!

“That’s great! Brother Shen Yi, Sister Su Yun, I’m so glad you’re both safe!” Zhou Wan’er patted her chest in relief.

The long-haired girl, on the other hand, said little and did not have as many scheming thoughts as the green-tea-type Zhou Wan’er.

“Mm, let’s go.” Shen Yi said indifferently.

Next, something occurred to him, and he pulled two fully loaded pistols out of the System Space and handed them to Su Yun for self-defense.

Su Yun’s character was worthy of trust.

She was even more trustworthy than Xu Wanting and Jiang Nanyan.

People’s personalities differed greatly.

Although Shen Yi had met Xu Wanting and the others earlier, he trusted them only half as much as he trusted Su Yun.

“He even has guns…”

Seeing Shen Yi produce two pistols out of thin air, Zhou Wan’er was shocked, and her eyes rolled craftily as she vowed to win Shen Yi over, make him like her, make him love her… only then could she survive the apocalypse!

Holding the two brand-new Type 54 pistols, Su Yun felt warm inside.

She knew this was a sign of Shen Yi’s trust.

The four of them left the convenience store and moved forward cautiously.

After the ambush by the color-changing gecko, Shen Yi had to be extra careful.

Some mutated animals possessed bizarre abilities, and even he might fall prey to them if he were careless.

With that in mind, Shen Yi silently took a superpower fruit from the System Space and popped it into his mouth.

He would first acquire a new power; perhaps it would increase his combat power.

The moment the fruit entered his mouth, a faint coolness spread through his body.

But it vanished in an instant.

Apart from the first time he ate the Physical Evolution fruit and sensed a huge change in himself, the effects of the other two fruits were minimal.

He did not know whether it was because Physical Evolution was more powerful or because it had been his first fruit…

Most likely, it was the latter, for in Shen Yi’s view the Teleportation power was certainly no worse than Physical Evolution.

As his thoughts reached this point, the fruit in his mouth finished dissolving.

He immediately opened his panel to check.
