Reborn in the Post-Apocalyptic World: Building Infrastructure

Several people fell silent, their gazes fixed on Su Ling.

In a hushed voice, Guan Yuxin asked, "Is it Sheng Hongye?"

Su Ling shook her head; it was Liu Yu.

How did he know she was here?

Could a prophet be so accurate that he even knew her location?

But why hadn't she heard the sound of a car approaching?

Su Ling was puzzled and gestured for everyone to stay quiet.

Liu Yu's voice became clearer.

"Miss Su, with my abilities, I can easily find you. There's no need to doubt it, and I don't intend to harm you. We can still work together as before."

As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, Geng Hao's voice came through.

"Sister Su Ling, it's me. Come out quickly; we've been waiting for you to come back."

Su Ling frowned suddenly. Why was Geng Hao with Liu Yu? Did he really betray them?

At that moment, Liu Yu started banging on the door.

"Miss Su, my patience is wearing thin. If you don't come out, I'll blow the door open with a detonator."

Su Ling bit her lip and slowly stood up.

Guan Yuxin immediately grabbed her and shook her head.

Others tried to pull Su Ling back as well, not wanting her to go outside.

Su Ling didn't want to put others in danger; she forced a smile and spoke to Liu Yu outside, "I am indeed here. If you want me to come out, then bring me five bags of rice and fifty boxes of canned food."

Hearing Su Ling's voice, Liu Yu chuckled.

"That's no problem. As long as Miss Su is willing to come out, it's a small matter."

"Alright, bring the supplies, and I'll come out with you."

"Okay, we'll see you tomorrow then."

Liu Yu called out, and then his voice disappeared.

Professor Bai immediately asked, "Who is that person? Why is he forcing you?"

Su Ling sighed and explained, "He used to be my companion. After that rainy day, he obtained the ability of foresight through evolution. Later, he betrayed some of my other companions, and I fled with Mr. Sheng and the others. He's looking for me because I have medical skills. But it's alright; I can take some rice and food for all of you before leaving."

Professor Bai was astonished. "Special abilities? Is this really possible?"

Su Ling nodded firmly. "Yes."

Professor Bai became excited, trembling as he pointed to a bottle of mineral water on the table.

"Can I... do it too?"

As soon as he spoke, something magical happened.

The bottle of mineral water on the table shook violently, and Professor Bai's trembling finger reached out and grabbed it from a distance.

Everyone was amazed; the ability to move things from a distance!

Even the professor had obtained a supernatural ability?

Chen Yu excitedly took the mineral water, stuttering, "I never expected to witness something I saw on TV happen in real life. Professor Bai, you are incredible."

Han Qiang scratched his head and said sheepishly, "Actually... I think I might have a supernatural ability too, but I wasn't sure if it was real."

After saying that, he pointed to the gas stove, snapped his fingers, and the fire on it suddenly ignited.

Fire ability?

Su Ling couldn't believe her eyes.

Seeing both of them manifesting supernatural abilities, Guan Yuxin couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Why don't I have one?"

Chen Yu also dejectedly said, "I don't have one either."

Thinking of Su Ling's earlier suggestion that it might be related to the rain, Chen Yu decided to go outside and stand in the rain to see if anything happened.

As he approached the door, they heard a chorus of zombie groans.

Chen Yu was frightened and quickly sat back down.

Guan Yuxin gestured for silence, and Su Ling closed her eyes, using her system to reinforce the security door and the entire space they were in.

Since most of the basement was underground and structurally robust, it was sufficient to reinforce only part of the door. This was relatively easy for Su Ling. After two initial failures, the subsequent attempts were successful, and she strengthened the door to one hundred twenty percent.

Compared to when she first reinforced the Passat, it was much easier.

The zombies weren't overly fixated on the basement door and gradually left after trying to break in for over an hour.

When they heard no more sounds outside, Professor Bai suddenly said, "Two out of the five of us have evolved supernatural abilities. Can't we overcome just one prophet? Let's wait until dawn and leave."

Su Ling knew that Professor Bai didn't want her and Liu Yu's group to leave. A long-lost feeling of gratitude surged in her heart.

For their group, the basement was undoubtedly quite safe. They had no idea about the situation outside, and after a rain, the zombies might evolve again, making it difficult for them to return.

She could only blame herself for being foolish and saving Liu Yu, a treacherous person.

"It's fine; he won't do anything to me."

Su Ling lightly laughed it off.

Guan Yuxin was still concerned. "I heard that guy, Liu, isn't a good person. Professor Bai is right; we can leave together. Who knows, after a good night's sleep, both Chen Yu and I might develop supernatural abilities too."

"You two will be fine here for now. Don't move. Tomorrow, I'll go out to assess the situation. If it's unfavorable for me, I'll come back immediately to find you."

Professor Bai tried to persuade Su Ling again, but seeing her determination to go with Liu Yu, he could only shake his head helplessly.

The night passed without any incident, and dawn arrived.

Su Ling had a rare undisturbed sleep, feeling much more refreshed the next day.

Around eight o'clock, Liu Yu's voice appeared at the door.

"Miss Su, I have brought the things you wanted."

Geng Hao also called from outside, "Sister Su Ling, I've placed the rice by the door."

Su Ling took a deep breath and said to the others, "I'll go out first. Don't leave here for now. This door is very special; unless there are hundreds of zombies, they absolutely can't break in."

After saying that, she reached out and opened the door. As expected, there were five bags of rice and some canned food piled up at the doorstep.

Su Ling asked Chen Yu and Han Qiang to bring the supplies inside and addressed Liu Yu coldly, "Where do you want to take me?"

Geng Hao enthusiastically said, "Of course, back to the farm. Mr. Sheng and his people have already left. Sister Su Ling, please don't leave again, okay?"

Su Ling looked at Liu Yu with sarcasm and asked, "Why did Mr. Sheng leave?"

Geng Hao's face fell as he said, "It's all because of that Miss Li. She didn't like the farm and said that it's not as good as the base in Lizhou. If it weren't for her meddling, Mr. Sheng wouldn't have left at all."

Liu Yu chuckled, his expression unchanged, and said, "That's indeed what happened. Miss Su, let's get in the car."

As soon as he finished speaking, a deep voice said, "Liu Yu, do you still want to live?"
