Chapter 52 - It was a rather worthless skill in the apocalypse (2)
In the end, they really were able to find the self-heating hot pots.
At the service counter, someone had left behind a thermos cup. It was more than half full with warm water. The little buddy hastily used the water to make Zhou Cang a cup of instant noodles. The water wasn't boiling hot. After soaking the noodles for a long time, it was barely cooked.
The uncrowned king of the supermarket sat on his cushion-throne and enjoyed the only cup of spicy beef instant noodles. And he was eating the noodles with soup!
Satisfied, he swept his gaze over the supermarket. The fragrant smell of instant noodles spread far and wide. Everyone in the supermarket could smell it. Look, isn't that girl in the crowd almost about to cry because she wants to eat the instant noodles so badly?
He turned to look at Lu Xingchi in the corner. No matter how handsome and awesome he looked, he was still sitting on the floor and without instant noodles to eat like everyone else.
Lu Xingchi was sitting on the floor, unperturbed. Du Ruo was quietly talking to him.
"As soon as you guys left, they took advantage of Captain Xing's inattention to grab his gun and killed Captain Xing and Teacher Xue. Then, they tied the two of us together."
They didn't consider killing Dr. Su. Only idiots would kill a doctor in the apocalypse.
“Lu Xingchi, they seemed to be after you," Du Ruo asked, "Do you know them?"
Lu Xingchi shook his head.
Bei Nuan sat next to them and was half-heartedly listening to them. No one had thought of tying up Bei Nuan, so she obediently sat next to Lu Xingchi, but her mind was wandering.
With Lu Xingchi around, she didn't have to waste brain cells on Zhou Cang and the others. Her focus was on the Holy Mother's kissing task. Watching the countdown on her remaining time for the task was alarming.
If she didn't complete the task before the timer went to 0, her Holy Mother points would go to zero, and her efforts in the past two days would have been in vain.
Bei Nuan turned her head to study Jiang Fei.
Jiang Fei's eyes were closed, and he was half-leaning on the wall. His complexion was okay, and his injuries didn't seem to have been aggravated.
Bei Nuan studied his bandaged head like it was a piece of pork. Just go over and kiss him? Would that be too abrupt?
Just as her thoughts were roaming, a figure suddenly blocked the light.
After the king of instant noodles had finished eating, he walked over to help with his digestion.
"You, stand up!" Zhou Cang kicked Lu Xingchi.
Lu Xingchi didn't resist at all. He slowly stood up. Once he stood up, he was a head taller than Zhou Cang. Zhou Cang's dominant aura immediately disappeared.
Their height difference was very irritating. Zhou Cang raised his head, roared, and threw a punch.
Lu Xingchi slightly evaded. Zhou Cang's fist still struck Lu Xingchi's lips. Zhou Cang was wearing a ring on that hand, and the impact immediately caused the corner of Lu Xingchi's lips to bleed.
Lu Xingchi furrowed his brow. He opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out.
Du Ruo stood up. "Ah! You-"
Du Ruo also suddenly lost his voice.
Zhou Cang laughed arrogantly. "How's that? You can't speak anymore. Let me tell you, I'm not an ordinary person now. If I want to silence someone, they can only shut up!
Bei Nuan looked at him in surprise. This punk actually had an ability?
No wonder Little Three had said, "and other people have their abilities."
Bei Nuan clearly remembered that no one had abilities in the novel. It was a story of a group of ordinary people struggling in the apocalypse.
Little 3's alternative world really had gone off the script. Moreover, this punk's ability was very magical. Isn't this the ability of the Silence Elder in Werewolf? Their skill was making the designated player unable to speak. The designated player would then have to act out what he or she wanted to say. It was a rather worthless skill in the apocalypse.
(T/N: There are extra roles and added rules in Chinese-version of Werewolf.)
