Chapter 22: The Bullied Brother
Lu Min Feng and Sang Chu had previously researched many Supernatural Ability Users, but their understanding of Space Ability Users was still limited to storage.
Therefore, they didn’t have any particularly good suggestions.
Mu Xue could only sigh helplessly, “Since it’s a sequela of the Space Supernatural Ability, we can only endure it.”
She let out a long sigh, enduring the feeling of her ears about to explode, and stood up with Sang Chu’s support.
Lin Mu Xue: “Let’s go.”
Sang Chu: “Are you sure you can?”
“Mm.”
Seeing her persistence, he then supported her and they continued on their way.
The further they walked into the residential buildings of the small town, the more bizarre the scene became.
In the ruined small town, towering trees with strange shapes grew out from under abandoned buildings. The branches of the trees forcibly split cement and steel, merging with the buildings to become one.
The eerie and terrifying Mutated Plants were even more horrifying under the Blood Moon.
They walked all the way towards the residential buildings but found no Zombies, which was abnormal.
Lu Min Feng: “The absence of Zombies indicates that this place is regularly cleared by Supernatural Ability Users. Perhaps it has already been occupied by someone as a Base. Everyone be careful.”
“Mm.”
“Sang Jing Wen, don’t be ungrateful. You’re not a Supernatural Ability User, and you’re bringing that old geezer around to freeload. It’s good enough that we have food to give you, what more do you want!”
“Sun Hou, the Boss of the Base said back then that as long as one cleared Zombies, they could exchange the heads of Zombies for food, regardless of whether they were a Supernatural Ability User or not. But look at the food distributed! It’s all maggot-infested and moldy. Why are you giving me this!”
“Hmph, the rules have changed now. Without Supernatural Abilities, you can only eat this low-grade food. Food is getting scarcer, and the acid rain lasts longer. There are no Living Creatures left. You still want to be like before, dreaming!”
“That’s right, Sang Jing Wen. Take it or leave it. If you don’t want it, get lost. Next!”
“I, I, I, Brother Sun, Sang Jing Wen doesn’t want it, but I do. Can you give me his share!”
“Fine, come here, it’s all yours!”
“Sun Hou, you’re going too far!”
“So what if I’m bullying you? If you have the guts, get out of the Base! Now, there are mutated plants everywhere. These plants suddenly appear, and no one knows what bizarre things will happen next. You, an ordinary person without Supernatural Abilities, are bringing an old thing with you. Whether you can survive after leaving the Base is another matter. Don’t be so arrogant!”
“That’s right, Sang Jing Wen, arrogance will eventually be struck by lightning!”
“Exactly, exactly. An ordinary person dares to speak to Brother Sun like this, what nerve!”
Sang Jing Wen clenched his fists tightly, his pale face filled with rage, “Sun Hou, are you going to give me what I’m owed!”
Sun Hou was small and dark-skinned, resembling a monkey just like his name.
Sang Jing Wen gripped the dagger in his hand, gritted his teeth, and instantly charged forward.
Unexpectedly,
a vine attacked from behind,
coiled around his waist, and directly threw him out.
Fan Jian pulled hard on the vine in his hand, a cold smile on his lips,
causing the vine to sprout countless tiny thorns that pierced Sang Jing Wen’s body.
“Sang Jing Wen, before the Apocalypse, you might have been someone. But in the Apocalypse, without Supernatural Abilities, you’re just trash!”
Looking at Sang Jing Wen, who was biting his lips tightly and not making a sound, Fan Jian indifferently retracted his vine and kicked him away, “Trash.”
Sun Hou, holding the Bread, saw that it was full of maggots and walked with a chuckle to Sang Jing Wen, throwing the Bread at him from above.
“This is a reward from this Old Man. Take it back and enjoy it with that old geezer of yours, hahaha!”
Sun Hou laughed maniacally. The people behind him, though disgusted by his actions, dared not speak, fearing they would be the next to be treated this way.
Sang Jing Wen’s waist and abdomen were covered in blood. He struggled to sit up from the ground, looking at the group of disgusting people, gritted his teeth, picked up the Bread, and turned to leave.
Without Supernatural Abilities, he was nothing!
He could go without eating, but Grandmother Lin couldn’t.
Sang Jing Wen’s eyes were bloodshot, and he walked unsteadily towards his underground dwelling.
He opened the Passage door and walked all the way home.
Room 109
‘Cough, cough.’
A faint cough came from inside the room. Sang Jing Wen opened the door and walked in. Grandmother Lin saw him and quickly came forward,
“A Wen, why are you injured? Come quickly, Grandma will take a look!”
Grandmother Lin, full of heartache, went to find medicine for him, but it had all expired long ago.
“Grandma, I’m fine. I’m sorry, I couldn’t get any Food.”
Looking at the Bread in his hand, Grandmother Lin patted his hand, “It’s okay, I’m a burden to you. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have stayed here.”
He had originally intended to go to Shang Jing to find his sister Sang Chu, but unexpectedly, he met Lin Mu Xue’s Grandmother. She was an old person who couldn’t survive in the Apocalypse.
Sang Jing Wen couldn’t take her with him. At that time, there were too many Zombies, and people were chaotic, with constant killing, robbery, and food snatching.
It was impossible to travel with an elder.
Looking at the Food in front of him, Grandmother Lin sighed helplessly, took it from Sang Jing Wen’s hand, and opened the packaging.
She said with a kind expression, “These bread worms are high in protein. Grandma won’t be polite with you.”
Sang Jing Wen: “Grandma, this Thing…”
Grandmother Lin said softly, “It’s good to be alive. I’m still waiting for Xiao Xue to come back.”
“Grandma.”
The main door opened at some unknown time.
Mu Xue stood at the doorway, her eyes teary, and rushed over, hugging her Grandmother, “Grandma!”
“Xiao, Xiao Xue? Xiao Xue!”
“My dear granddaughter, Grandma finally sees you!”
Grandmother Lin initially thought it was an illusion, but until Lin Mu Xue hugged her, the warmth from her body let her know that her granddaughter had truly returned!
Sang Jing Wen stared intently in the direction of the main door.
Sang Chu had lost weight and become tanned, with wounds on her face. Sang Jing Wen felt immense heartache, “Little Sister.”
Sang Chu walked to Sang Jing Wen’s side and smiled, “Brother, I’m back.”
“Little Sister.”
Sang Jing Wen immediately pulled Sang Chu into his embrace. He had never dreamed that Sang Chu could return from Shang Jing!
Lu Min Feng watched them reunite and quickly closed the main door. They had been following Sang Jing Wen all the way back. Fortunately, he hadn’t closed the door, allowing them to enter directly.
“A Chu, heal your Brother first. We need to find an opportunity to leave.”
They had seen Sang Jing Wen on the road, but there were Supernatural Ability Users following him. They didn’t know what the other party intended to do,
so they could only come out of the Hovercar after that person left.
Sang Chu: “Mm, Brother, sit down first. I’ll get the Medical Pod for you.”
Pulled to a nearby Stool by Sang Chu, Sang Jing Wen guiltily touched the scar on her face, “Little Sister, I’m sorry, Brother couldn’t come to find you sooner.
