CHAPTER 675: 【669】QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE 5 (4 MORE UPDATES)

They spent an hour getting to know the world as it was now, though the zombies were not fast at the moment, that didn’t mean they would stay that way forever. What if the low-level zombies transformed into high-level zombies in the future? Therefore, it was imperative that they advanced before the zombies did.

"What superpower have you awakened?"

Now that they were living together and might join the monster-hunting team in the future, it was necessary for her to know their superpowers in advance.

So, when she asked, Zhao Yun looked utterly confused, while Rong Hua showed a hint of a smile.

"If I’m not wrong, you’re a Water Element, aren’t you?"

In a situation where everyone else lacked water, she could produce water; she was undoubtedly a Water Mage.

Zhu Li didn’t hide anything, immediately releasing her water-element mark, along with the wood element on her left hand, for all to see.

Seeing the wood element, Rong Hua’s eyes suddenly widened: "No wonder you could produce tomatoes and came to my house looking for seeds. Does this mean with you here, we’ll have food to eat?"

"Speaking of which, I must thank you for the seeds you saved. If it weren’t for these seeds, let’s not even talk about saving others, even staying alive ourselves would be difficult."

"I am a Fire Element," Rong Hua said, revealing his superpower quickly, but with some regret.

"My talent isn’t as good as yours, I’ve only awakened one superpower."

Zhao Yun watched the two display their powers, from the initial confusion to gradually understanding.

"Do you mean, I might have one too?"

Zhu Li shook her head, "I’m not sure, but since you and your child haven’t turned into those monsters, you probably have one too. The worst-case scenario is you’ll evolve into an advanced human with stronger resistance, and even without a superpower, you could survive. Don’t worry, the awakening of a superpower requires your body’s own perception."

With that, Zhu Li quickly took out a white radish and a tomato from her space for her.

"I only have these items now, can you make do with them?"

Then, thinking of something, she looked at Rong Hua: "Can you light a fire without needing firewood?"

Rong Hua immediately realized what she intended, "Are you thinking of cooking soup?"

Zhu Li smacked her lips, "It seems you want some too. Can your fire last long enough for me to cook a pot of soup?"

Rong Hua didn’t know his limits, "I’ll try. This thing needs practice, without practice, there will never be progress."

"That’s true. Let’s cook a pot of radish and glass noodle soup then, we only have glass noodles and black fungus left at home. Sister, how about I cook some millet porridge for you and the baby?"

Zhao Yun quickly waved her hands, "No need, I’ll drink the same as you. My breast milk is insufficient anyway, the baby is just eating for comfort, but this formula milk,"

"No worries, we’ll look for supplies in the community tomorrow,"

As soon as she finished speaking, the baby seemed uncomfortable and whimpered, all three of them tensed up at once, "Don’t worry, she probably just needs a change of diapers, I’ll take care of it,"

Later, Zhao Yun went to the guest room on the first floor to take care of the child, while Rong Hua and Zhu Li tinkered in the kitchen.

Like her water threads, Rong Hua’s fire was extremely small, so tiny that Zhu Li was going crazy.

"Forget about cooking soup, even boiling water is difficult, big brother, can you manage?"

Rong Hua blushed and stammered, "Just wait a bit longer, let me exert some effort. Mainly, I haven’t mastered the method yet,"

As Rong Hua concentrated his spiritual power, the flame gradually grew from the size of a fingertip to that of a fist, just enough to heat a pot, but he had to keep his fingers extended.

"Does it hurt?"

Rong Hua shook his head, "I don’t feel anything, just that the position is uncomfortable."

"You’ll have to bear with it for a bit; if your fire gets stronger, this will be over soon."

She used only salt for seasoning, as she didn’t know whether other spices were still usable after high temperatures. Just before the soup was finished, she added some cornstarch to thicken it and made a radish slaw side dish with salt.

"With what we have, everyone just make do!"

Those who could live in a villa were well off, especially in the Capital’s villa districts, where a single house could cost tens to hundreds of millions and many could not afford it. Who among them had ever eaten such meager meals?

But now, having been hungry for a full day and with no water available, having soup was a delightful treat.

So, nobody complained. They slurped up the soup with their chopsticks, and it felt like they were revived.

With Zhao Yun joining, Rong Hua no longer slept on the sofa but went to sleep in the maid’s room, whereas Zhu Li returned to her own room upstairs.

Radishes had been harvested for two seasons, and the third was almost mature. To earn more Gold Coins and speed up the space upgrade, she specifically found an alarm clock in the maid’s room, setting it to the vegetables’ ripening time for harvesting, so as not to waste a single moment.

The old rule was to harvest six radishes, keep two, and sell four.

She had already watered the plants while cooking, so just before going to bed, she spurred the growth of scallions in a flowerpot, then collapsed into bed exhaustedly.

The next day before dawn, Zhao Yun excitedly ran up to her, "Zhu Li, it’s great, Zhu Li, I’ve awakened a superpower too, I have a superpower!"

"Sister? What superpower is it?"

Rong Hua came upstairs with the baby, only to see Zhao Yun grab something with her hand and then make it disappear right in front of their eyes. Zhu Li’s eyes lit up, "Space Department?"

"You actually know it’s called the Space Department? Yes, it’s a Space Department superpower, but only one hundred square feet in size."

"One hundred square feet isn’t small. As long as you diligently cultivate it, it will surely upgrade just like our superpowers. Ah, I was just wondering how we would bring back the goods if we went out today, but it looks like a pillow has arrived with my sleepiness, sister, you’re amazing!"

Zhao Yun blushed from Zhu Li’s praise, "If it weren’t for you two, I might’ve been gone. Speaking of which, you two are my life-savers. From now on, let’s not betray each other, okay? We’re all neighbors, and although I’ve never met you before, Zhu Li, since you are a relative of the Zhu Family, you are our relative too. From now on, my daughter and I are in your hands,"

At this, Zhu Li suddenly thought of something, "Sister, can your space hold living things?"

Living things? Zhao Yun hadn’t tried that, especially since they didn’t have any living things at home. After much consideration, she decided to test it with her baby.

Regrettably, the space didn’t open, which meant her level was too low to hold living beings.

"No worries, take it slow. As sister said, we’ve shared hardships together. From now on, we’re truly siblings!"
