Chapter 186
She had powers of water, earth, and storage. Plus that purification ability she got from the system. En, not bad. But first the problem she needed to answer was where she was going to get a hold of food, clothing, and other daily necessities.
[Madam Host, the space market has a lot of different items for sale. All of them are in stock based on what the mission world requires.] BaoBao struggled to crawl up from the floor and floated to XunMi’s side.
XunMi suddenly remembered that she had a system market. She wanted to see what kind of OP objects were in there. When she opened the market catalogue, there were about 10 pages for her to flip through. When she got on the first page, she almost choked. There really was everything in here. But the points price was seriously too high. A beef bun was 100 points. A cup of ramen was actually 500 points. And the price of rice? This was daylight robbery. There was no love left in the world, goodbye.
She closed the market. It would be better for her to just go outside and collect material. She wasn’t with the rest of Ming family right now. She had just graduated so she was out on her graduation trip. Therefore, she was all alone. Otherwise she might have been sent to a hospital or abandoned due to her fevered state.
But this wasn’t consistent with the original storyline. It had said XunMi had chosen not to go on the graduation trip. “BaoBao, how could the storyline be wrong from the start? Does it have anything to do with illegal presence you were talking about?”
[That could be it. Madam Host, there’s zombies all around you outside. Be careful!] BaoBao opened up the system map. There were clusters of red dots. On first glance, there weren’t too many of them. But then, he noticed that there was no green dots near them. That meant that all the people in this district had already become zombies. There were no survivers.
“Search for any supermarkets or gas station nearby. And 4S stores.” {T/N I don’t know what those are..} She needed to first collect everything she needed prior to her travels. In the meantime, she placed everything in the room inside her space inventory and tried out her new superpowers. It was better to not be too noticeable on her journeys. What if the male lead immediately sliced her head off when he saw her?
[There’s a shopping district within 500 meters of here. It has a supermarket inside there.] BaoBao used the system’s map to search. [Warning! Two survivors heading for the supermarket.] If they had been any other survivors, BaoBao wouldn’t have bothered announcing them. But he couldn’t discover any information on one of them. XunMi also knew BaoBao’s habits.
She immediately smiled with interest. Was the male lead making his appearance? But could this male lead be her own dear husband? She rubbed her chin. En, she should go take a look. They were bound to meet anyways. If he was her husband, she’ll pounce. If not, then forget it. If they could be on good terms, then great. If not, then she’ll just have to get rid of him. It was no big deal.
If BaoBao knew what she was thinking, he would fall on the floor in shock. Killing the fortunate son of the heavens {T/N the leads are said to be the fortunate children of heaven because they always get lucky in the plot} meant that she failed her mission. There would also be punishments. The deaths of the previous fortunate children hadn’t been Madam Host’s fault so she hadn’t gotten in trouble. Moreover, her man was a big, all caps BUG with a golden hand. Therefore, she hadn’t been affected. But this world wasn’t the same. This male lead had been reborn. There were differences between this world and the worlds where the female lead was reborn.
After changing into black and white casual wear, XunMi left. She had emptied out the room. She planned on leaving the city as soon as she was done collecting items. S City had been the epicenter. The zombie virus had started here. Meanwhile, Ming family had influence in both business and government. They were headquartered in B city. XunMi planned on going back there.
XunMi went downstairs and hopped into the original soul’s shiny red Ferrari. Stepping on the gas pedal, the car flew out of sight. In a place without other people or cars, the sports car could actually be driven as a sports car. When she arrived at the shopping district, XunMi immediately saw the bright sign for RT-Mart {T/N: Shout out to DaRunFa or RT-Mart in China. Highkey my favorite supermarket because it has crazy low prices on sales items, and free samples on everything from ramen to wine. 10/10 recommend if you’re ever in China}. She placed her car in her space storage and casually walked into the market. Her map showed that there were only two green dots nearby. And if her intuition wasn’t wrong, there was a pair of sharp eyes watching her from the fourth floor window just now.
The first floor had been rummaged through already. There were only a few already rotten fruits and vegetables left.
XunMi raised an eyebrow. It looked like one of them also had space storage abilities. She looked at the frozen aisle. En, they were pretty much emptied too. She headed up to the second floor. The home appliances still sat in place. No one had touched them. On the third floor, the men’s section for clothing had been emptied out. XunMi didn’t bother checking for sizing for the women’s clothing. With a wave of her hand, she stored all of them. As soon as she made it to the fourth floor, a strong sense of pressure and cautiousness hit her.
XunMi didn’t resist. Rather, she wrapped her water ability around the foreign power and leisurely stepped forward. Nothing could survive without water or earth. The two represented birth and nurture. Stepping through the threshold, XunMi saw the people inside. A man leaned on a French window, emitting a powerful yet gentle air. He had handsome features. His black ensemble gave him a heightened mysterious aura. His elegance made others unable to resist wanting to approach him. His narrow eyes were like clear water. They looked quiet, yet the storm inside of them was enough to suffocate others.
Ye MingYe would have never thought that he would see this person so soon. But even though he had been reborn, he couldn’t ignore the suddenly rapid beating of his heart. He had obviously told himself that he would definitely get his revenge on her. He had also felt that his heart didn’t even ache when thinking about her, much less beat faster. But when she was right in front of him, he knew that his feelings were much stronger now than in his last lifetime, enough to drown him. There was a beast in his heart, roaring that it was her, it was her, the person that he needed to find was her.
In that moment, he couldn’t remember what she was like in their last life. He could only see the her in front of him. A graceful figure and a beautiful face. Her beautiful brows and clear eyes expressed indifference and elegance. Although she was silent, there was a frightening allure about her.
How could such a person be the same one as the evilhearted person that had pushed him into a group of zombies? He asked himself, but couldn’t find an answer. If she was poison, then he was a fool without a cure. After taking one poisonous bite, he was the idiot that wanted another.
His hand clenched into a fist, blue veins popping underneath his skin.
XunMi’s eyes flashed. Her smile was light and polite, with distance. “Good afternoon, big brothers. I hope you don’t mind me taking a few things. I’ll be quick, I won’t disturb the two of you.” She nodded in greeting and walked straight to the other side. She pulled some blankets and pillows into her space inventory. This was her way of letting them know that she had come alone and was willing to reveal her space storage ability without hesitation. Therefore, she had the ability to protect herself so they needed to think twice before fighting her.
