Reborn in the Post-Apocalyptic World: Building Infrastructure

The defense of the building rapidly declined, Su Ling immediately borrowed the compatibility with Sheng Hongye and began to reinforce it.

Geng Hao finally saw the bricks in front of him being restored and couldn't help but look in amazement at Su Ling, who kept her eyes down and remained silent.

"Don't look at me, focus on dealing with the zombies," Su Ling said, closing her eyes.

At that moment, the system suddenly transmitted a pleasant prompt tone.

"Reinforcement skill upgraded. Can increase reinforcement by one hundred fifty percent. Mental control upgraded by one level. Can control equivalent beings with a success rate of fifty percent."

Su Ling was pleasantly surprised. She didn't expect the system to upgrade at this critical moment and also grant her increased mental control!

However, with the current crisis, she had no time to explore the mental power and could only focus on reinforcing the base.

Geng Hao had roughly guessed what happened and relaxed a bit. As long as the walls didn't break, the zombies couldn't get in, and they could handle the few zombies climbing through the air vent.

Thinking this way, his courage increased significantly, and he began to use lightning attacks against the zombies.

He quickly discovered that if he concentrated his mind, the lightning would become more powerful but if he got distracted, only a small arc would appear.

He promptly shared his insights with Han Qiang, and after several attempts, Han Qiang managed to produce a line of fire.

Su Ling was somewhat surprised, and it seemed her earlier thoughts were correct—people could unleash their potential under extreme conditions.

Using power to defeat power was undoubtedly much more efficient than physical attacks.

The premise, however, was that she had to defend the entire building.

With her current reinforcement skill reaching one hundred fifty percent and having Sheng Hongye by her side, Su Ling was confident. The only thing she couldn't figure out was why she and Sheng Hongye had such a high compatibility.

Lost in thought, the defense dropped again, and Su Ling quickly concentrated, not daring to be distracted anymore.

At this time, Geng Hao and Han Qiang's coordination had become very tacit.

Many zombies that came close to the air vent were burned, causing them to howl in the courtyard. The low-frequency sound sent shivers down people's spines, making it extremely uncomfortable.

Until dawn, the leading zombie finally let out a creepy howl, and then the zombies retreated like a tide.

"They're retreating," Geng Hao exclaimed excitedly, sitting on the ground.

Han Qiang also swayed and collapsed beside him, panting heavily.

Su Ling was not much better. A night of reinforcing left her with a splitting headache and a drowsy feeling. It was like not having slept for several days, yet she was still in good spirits.

Rubbing her sore forehead, she asked, "How are you two holding up?"

Geng Hao smiled optimistically. "We're okay, just a bit tired."

Su Ling nodded and analyzed, "The supernatural abilities might be related to possibilities or something like possibilities. You two should rest for a while."

Han Qiang, however, looked puzzled as he stared at Su Ling.

"Sister Su Ling, do you also have supernatural abilities? The defense of the wall should be your ability, right?"

Su Ling hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Since she couldn't conceal it, she might as well take the opportunity to explain.

"My ability is reinforcing buildings."

Geng Hao couldn't help but get excited, his eyes widening.

"Sister Su Ling, your ability is so amazing! We'll follow you in the future."

Han Qiang also looked envious, but compared to defense, he clearly preferred attacking.

After resting for a while, Guan Yuxin and Chen Yu also came over.

Upon hearing that the zombies were driven away by two people using their abilities, they were quite envious.

"Why don't I have any supernatural abilities?" Chen Yu stretched out his hand and shook it back and forth, but nothing happened.

"Let's not talk about this now. Let's take Mr. Sheng back," Su Ling stood up, looking exhausted.

The three of them quickly lifted Sheng Hongye, while Guan Yuxin supported Su Ling.

"Are you okay?"

Last night, Guan Yuxin fell asleep in her room while wearing a face mask. Ten minutes ago, she woke up and her face was a little swollen. Seeing that Su Ling wasn't in her room, she didn't bother washing her face and rushed out to find her.

She coincidentally ran into Chen Yu and learned about what happened last night.

Then she excitedly said, "I heard you beat up those two troublemakers. It was so satisfying! You should have called me to come and watch too. It's really not thoughtful of you. Also, did Sheng Hongye really take that kind of medicine? Professor Bai said you went to his room. Did anything happen between you two?"

Seeing Guan Yuxin's gossiping spirit acting up again, Su Ling couldn't help but give her a helpless look.

"It's not something to be proud of. You better not talk about it. It would make him uncomfortable when he wakes up."

Guan Yuxin playfully nudged Su Ling.

Her expression became ambiguous. "You really care about him, huh?"

"I'm only thinking about myself."

Su Ling replied weakly and collapsed on the bed.

Seeing that Su Ling hadn't slept all night, Guan Yuxin withdrew and went downstairs. There, she heard about Su Ling's heaven-defying ability, and her mouth formed an 'O.'

"Building reinforcement? Su Ling is so amazing."

Geng Hao nodded and exaggeratedly added more details. At the corner of the stairs, Li Xueying's face looked extremely ugly.

Yesterday, she tried to take advantage of the situation and failed miserably. When Sheng Hongye woke up, he would definitely settle the score with her. And now, Su Ling had such an incredible ability —there would be no place for her to survive.

Li Xueying became more and more panicked as she thought about it, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.

She quickly went to the kitchen and took a knife used for cutting vegetables.

Su Ling must die today.

As the conversation among Guan Yuxin and the others continued cheerfully, she immediately took off her high heels and silently walked towards Su Ling's room.

Inside the room, Su Ling was sleeping soundly.

Gazing at her delicate features and fair, jade-like face, Li Xueying's evil intentions surged, and anger welled up within her.

Holding a kitchen knife in both hands, she fiercely thrust it towards Su Ling.

At the same time, Su Ling felt a chill.

She subconsciously opened her eyes and was shocked to see the scene before her, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Li Xueying was actually trying to kill her.

Su Ling quickly rolled over, and Li Xueying's knife struck the pillow, causing a bunch of cotton to fly out, making Su Ling sneeze.

She sternly scolded, "Li Xueying, are you crazy?"

Li Xueying gritted her teeth and said, "Even if I'm crazy, it's also because you forced me!"

After speaking, she swung the knife again and attacked Su Ling.

After a night of intense and continuous reinforcement, Su Ling had little strength left, and she hadn't recovered yet.

Seeing Li Xueying's knife coming at her again, Su Ling grabbed her wrist.

Li Xueying was infuriated, shouting loudly, "Bitch! Today, I will definitely kill you!"

Su Ling held onto her wrist tightly, and at that moment, an option suddenly appeared in her mind: "Do you want to use mental control?"
