She teleported back into the yacht and went straight into the living room where Chu Hao and the others were sitting together and talking. Getting to know each other.
Chu Miao didn’t speak and immediately grabbed her brother’s hand and disappeared into thin air again.
"I swear I don’t think I’ll ever get used to her disappearing act. She acts like a ghost appearing and disappearing into thin air whenever she feels like it." Chichi commented while patting her chest as if really scared.
While there was an element of surprise, she wasn’t scared at all. After all, she had already experienced all that a few times already.
The person who was really scared to the point of being completely mute was Li Pan. She had never heard of real-life teleportation, so when Chu Miao appeared in the middle of the room without a warning and then disappeared with her brother the same way, it made her heart unable to beat regularly.
But she had experienced a few situations since the apocalypse started, thus, she didn’t pass out directly.
Both of her brothers, Li Kian and Li Han also felt their hearts skip a beat. They had heard Grandpa Chu talk to their grandfather many times bragging about how powerful his granddaughter was.
They had always thought it was the normal practice of the old men who knew nothing but bragging about their descendants.
Upon witnessing that scene of Chu Miao appearing amidst them and then disappearing again, they realized that grandpa Chu may not have been bragging.
Moreover, they had seen how respectful all the soldiers in the yacht were when facing her. They didn’t act like they were facing a little girl but a powerful superior.
There was only one reason such grown men would do something so unconventional and that was if the girl was more powerful than them.
"What exactly happened?" After Li Pan reeled her mind back from the shock she had suffered, she asked the question that her brothers were also dying to ask.
"Chu Miao can teleport. She should have taken her brother to investigate something." Feng Chi replied to Lu Pan.
They were the only girls there and were sitting close together so that they could talk about girl stuff when the men were busy discussing war strategies.
"You mean the legendary teleportation where someone travels through space from one place to another in the blink of an eye?" Li Pan asked with a high pitched voice.
Luckily, it was raining heavily and their voices couldn’t travel far. Also, it was the apocalypse and no one would care about another person’s problems unless they were family or from the same team.
"Yes, that kind of legendary teleportation. When I saw it for the first time, I almost had a heart attack. Can you imagine sitting with someone the way we are and then the next second ’puff’, she disappears without a sound.
It was both shocking and scary. But after seeing it a few more times, the scary effect wears off. I still get shocked though." Chichi said to the curious people on the yacht.
"Is she the only one who can teleport or can her brother do as well?" Li Kian asked after he heard Chichi’s explanation.
After all, she had come in alone but she had left with Chu Hao. If both of them could teleport then that would be incredible.
"Only Sister Chu Miao can teleport. That’s why she had to hold her brother’s hand to be able to leave with him. When she wants to teleport with someone, she always has to hold them." Chichi replied.
"That’s the case. She needs to have physical contact with the person she wants to teleport with to be able to successfully do it.
However, teleportation uses energy and I guess there is a limit to the distance she can teleport and it probably also depends on whether she is teleporting alone or with someone else.
I think it depends on the number of people too. Like a car where the fuel consumption is related to the load.
The lighter the load, the less the consumption and vice versa." Yang Leo explained the concept of teleportation to everyone who was curious about it.
"Do you know how far she can teleport alone?" Li Han asked after listening to everyone’s analysis.
If such a good opportunity could be used well, then their future might be better than expected.
"Brother Hao said that she can teleport to the end of the city if she is alone. I don’t know how accurate that estimation is, but it should be close." Chichi replied again with her palm cupping her chin while deep in thought.
"That’s a very useful ability. It could save people in danger while the enemy is unaware." Li Kian commented like a soldier who still thought about his duty as a protector.
"That’s true. She saved us yesterday when she and Major General Ye came to pick us up. We were surrounded and almost turned into a sieve with bullets when she suddenly appeared in front of us and protected us.
Her teleportation allowed her to get to us without a problem and save us from a literal firing squad.
By the way, Captain Long, do you know how those bullets disappeared?" Yi Wen asked when he remembered that scene.
"I don’t know, but she should have her own way. I am guessing that she teleported them to another place." Qi Long replied to his brother and the others nodded as well.
They had actually been meaning to ask Chu Miao where those bullets had gone because they were afraid that they might have appeared in another place and hurt innocent people.
However, they were afraid that Chu Miao might get angry. But after asking around and talking to her for a while, they deduced that she was not an unreasonable person and wouldn’t get angry with them for asking that question.
"Why not just ask her directly when she comes back. It’s not like she’ll eat you for asking." Li Pan suggested to the overthinking soldiers.
