Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The next day, the first thing Tang Susu did when she woke up was to upgrade herself. Upgrading from -2 to-1 was extremely long.

After she kicked the blanket away, a wave of hot air instantly gushed out.

She lay on the bed, panting slightly. Her hair had become darker due to her sweat, and it was messily stuck to her beautiful little face. Her whole body was wet and covered in her cold sweat, as if she had just been fished out of water.

After calming down for a while, she lazily took off her pajamas and walked into the side room next to her room. Mr. Tang had especially connected this room to be used as her bathroom.

It wasn’t big, but there was a shelf filled with all kinds of toiletries and skincare products. There was also a full-body mirror.

She took out the bathtub that she had used yesterday, filled it with some stored tap water, and mixed two bottles of hot water before stepping in.

Just as she was soaking comfortably, there was a sudden movement from downstairs, followed by the sound of footsteps upstairs.

Her second and third brothers were whispering something to each other, but Tang Susu could hear it clearly, including the words of people walking on the road in front of the building.

“A few died. It’s too dangerous to be a guard at night!”

“I guess those supcrpowcred people don’t even dare to get close…”

It wasn’t until breakfast that Tang Susu found out that a T3 had attacked last night and injured two people. One of them had died on the spot.

The other one was bitten, but he sneaked back to his residence. Naturally, when he acted up, he bit everyone around him!

“The people in that room are all locked up now. We’re waiting to see if anyone will turn.”

“Has that T3 been taken care of?” Tang Susu thought that this was a small shelter and there was no professional testing equipment, after all.

“Its crystal core has been dug out. I don’t know who killed it.”

Before he could finish his sentence, a high-key voice sounded from outside the door, “Mingqi! Open the door now! It’s me, Bai Yanhui!”

Tang Mingqi’s face turned black when he heard that charming voice. “I’ll go and take a look.”

He didn’t want the playboy to get close to Susu. He didn’t want him to lead his little sister astray with that honey-laden tongue of his.

Tang Mingqi had seen with his own eyes how many women Bai Yanhui had flirted with, and how he quickly turned his back on them. His heartless look was a sharp contrast to his charming expression from before. Forget those women who devoted themselves to him. Even he, as a bystander, could feel the difference was just too great.

Tang Susu finished half a bowl of porridge, but her second brother didn’t come back after a long time. She couldn’t help but look at the door.

Then, she saw that Bai Yanhui gave him something. As if he had noticed her gaze, he winked at her with a smile.

Tang Susu also smiled, which stunned the other party. He felt that her smile was so mysterious as if she was waiting to watch a good show.

Tang Susu naturally recalled the time when he had teased Ying Chcngya.

Soon, Tang Mingqi strode back and put something on the table.

“He said that since we saved him, he’ll give this T3 crystal core to us as a reward.”

For a moment, they were speechless, but his behavior changed the Tang family’s view of him.

In the end, the crystal core naturally fell into Tang Susu’s hands and was thrown into the newly bought Energy Reservoir.

Because she didn’t have the money to buy a better one, she could only buy one that was exactly the same. There were too many crystal cores, and one storage pool couldn’t hold all of them.

But they were also consumed very quickly. Even when Mrs. Tang didn’t use her ability every day, just to resist the side effects of having her superpower, she had to take two pure white crystal cores to stop herself from eating meat gluttonously.

After using her superpower, she would spend even more Crystal Cores. Basically, every time she went to the vegetable garden on the roof, she would have to replenish herself with five pure white T2 pills.

A T3 crystal core was equivalent to 100 T2 crystals, but they only had a few, so they were not willing to eat them.

“Mom, now that you’re planting vegetables, you should also use your superpower to practice your defense and attack. Sometimes, despite having the same type of superpowers, the gap of power is because of the difference in level as well as the proficiency of the user.” Tang Susu said.

Mrs. Tang blushed and agreed. “We have enough vegetables, anyway.”

“But I have to talk to Cheng Cheng and the others now, in case that matter never ends. I turned her down before, but she pretended not to know anything. This time, I won’t be that courteous with her anymore!”

Mrs. Tang was hot to the bone, and Tang Susu quickly followed behind her.

Their places of residence were not far apart and were on the same street.

Tang Susu took the opportunity to observe the shelter. After the incident last night, almost no one dared to come out.

However, before she could even think about it, a large group of people came up to them.

“If it isn’t Auntie Tang and Ms. Su!” A group of young men and women greeted him with smiles.

They were the lackeys that Mingchu had reprimanded yesterday.

The hotheaded leader awkwardly waved the bag in his hand. “Is… Is the boss at home? We want to apologize to him.”

As he said this, his eyes flashed with pain, as if the shriveled bag of stuff was very important to them.

Although Tang Susu didn’t like them, she wouldn’t be sympathetic to them. She gave them a simple nod.

The group of people walked away in fear. One of them stood at the back, his eyebrows lowered, but he quickly followed.

Tang Susu stopped in her tracks.

“What’s wrong?” Mrs. Tang followed her.

“It’s nothing,” Tang Susu couldn’t catch what had just passed by her, and she frowned.

Soon, the two of them arrived at Cheng Cheng and Xiaoyuan’s place.

It was a little worse than their two-story house. It was a small one-story house, but it was better than the shared bed in the outer area because only the four of them lived there.

Mrs. Tang pulled a long face and was about to knock on the door.

However, the door was suddenly pulled open from the inside, revealing Cheng Cheng’s surprised face. Then a trace of awkwardness flashed across her face.

Just as she was about to close the door, a burst of angry cries and curses came from inside.

“Cheng Cheng, you can’t be so ungrateful! Who was the one who supported you behind your back when your parents thought you were embarrassing.?”

“If I didn’t save money and think of ways to get some money from your uncle to give it to you, who knows where you would be right now?! You probably wouldn’t be here today!”

Even though Cheng Cheng had already closed the door, they could still hear the curses through the gap.

“Not to mention that there are so many men in their family. It’s not a good thing to have too much yang energy. You’ll see. When yang is strong and yin is weak. Sooner or later, something bad will happen!”

Her tone was so matter-of-fact that it made it seem as if marrying her family over to benefit the men of the Tang family was a blessing.

Tang Susu’s expression shifted immediately.

Cheng Cheng was already too ashamed to show her face. She had always been a straightforward person, but when it came to her family, no matter how bad she was, she helped her before.

“My aunt wasn’t like this before the apocalypse. She used to be a good person and soft-hearted, but now…”

“A lot of people weren’t like this before the apocalypse. They might even be philanthropists or artists with both good morals and skills. But when the real danger approaches, they, like many others, will do anything to protect themselves.”

Tang Susu had seen many people’s hearts change. Fear defeated some people, who had been righteous a second ago and caused them to do the opposite.

Some people would do anything to survive.

Cheng Cheng thought about the rescuers that had moved into Cuidi Lake Garden. Some of them had saved her, but then …

She smiled bitterly. “I’m sorry. My aunt and others will not disturb you again. I just found out about what Ru did yesterday, and I was going to ask her to apologize to you..”
