"You don't need to worry about it." Bai Meiyue glanced at the man before saying to him, "It might not look like it, but the Meng siblings are going through supernatural evolution."
"How do you know that?" It was not that Lei Qian didn't trust Bai Meiyue. But neither of them went through such a supernatural phenomenon when they awakened, so why did the Meng siblings go through one?
"Because I can sense the changes in the supernatural energy around them," Bai Meiyue answered with a calm voice. She walked past the corridor and no longer shook off the hand that was holding hers. "There are all kinds of supernatural powers, and each one of them requires a particular change in the body of the ability user. If a person awakens a powerful ability and his or her body is not ready for it, then there will be a shift."
"Like how the immune system creates a particular reaction towards a disease, the awakening of the supernatural ability would also push the person's body to create a reaction, which would prepare their bodies to become compatible with the power that they had awakened."
After she finished speaking, she pushed Lei Qian away and headed out to collect some crystal nuclei to exchange with the system. Of course, Lei Qian followed her without letting go of her. As she hunted down zombies, Lei Qian cleared the path for her, making the entire thing a bit too simple and childish.
Bai Meiyue rolled her eyes as she didn't find it interesting at all. However, she didn't say anything; since someone wanted to help her out, who was she to stop him?
She curled her lips and ignored the man without saying anything and simply collected the crystal nuclei that she got after hunting the heads of the zombies.
Once Bai Meiyue had enough, she returned home with Lei Qian only to run into a woman who was dressed rather provocatively. Though she didn't know who this woman was, she had seen her in the group of survivors who stayed with Bai Xue and the rest.
Her lips curled up in amusement as she turned to look at Lei Qian, who stood woodenly on her side and didn't even look at the woman. All his attention was on Bai Meiyue as he asked her to dress a bit more warmly if she was going to leave the house.
Considering that Lei Qian was not saying anything, Bai Meiyue thought that the woman would leave, but it turned out that she underestimated the boldness of the woman. Not only did she not leave, she stepped forward and shyly smiled at Lei Qian, "Leader Lei, I really admire you. I don't ask for anything; I just ask you to let me follow you. Is it alright?"
The woman was now standing really close to the two of them, and the hideous scent that she had sprayed all over her body wafted over to where Lei Qian was standing, making the man frown. The scent was too overpowering and not in a good way.
Bai Meiyue, who heard the words of the woman, found it ridiculous. She said that she didn't have anything that she could ask for from Lei Qian, but just one look, and Bai Meiyue could see the wild ambition that was almost surging out of the woman's eyes.
She really had to admit that this woman was much better than Lu Yin; at least she was willing to take such risks to get Lei Qian's attention. The weather was so cold that even she couldn't help but tremble, and yet this woman —hiss—she was wearing such a scanty dress.
She had taken a glance at the woman and noticed that the woman was only wearing a sheer dress and nothing else. Although she was hiding everything that she needed to hide, with the dress that she was wearing, there was nothing that was hidden. With just one glance, anyone could imagine what the woman had to offer.
Bai Meiyue turned and looked at the man next to her, waiting to see his reaction.
When Lei Qian saw the amusement in Bai Meiyue's eyes, he was really annoyed. At the same time, he found the actions of the woman really disgusting.
When he saw that the woman was taking another step closer to him, he held Bai Meiyue by her waist and coldly spat in the direction of the woman, "Scram."
He didn't have the gentleness that he showed to Bai Meiyue when he scolded the woman, which left her gasping for breath. The humiliation that the woman suffered made her purse her lips. Her heart felt stifled, and she had no idea what to say to Lei Qian for a few seconds.
She obviously had the same body structure and beauty as Bai Meiyue, so why did this man not pay attention to her?
However, even though the woman was humiliated, she didn't want to leave just yet. She had heard Lei Qian just now, and it seemed like the man was going to leave really soon. With Bai Xue and Bai Meiyue standing against one another, if Bai Xue found out that she had come to look for Lei Qian, she would definitely not treat her well.
This was her only opportunity to make Lei Qian fall for her. What's more, she had charmed a lot of men before the apocalypse. She didn't think that she wouldn't be able to charm Lei Qian.
With that thought in her head, she pulled down the dress that she was wearing until her curves were completely revealed to Lei Qian. Even though the man was holding another woman in his arms, the woman was willing to go all out for him.
As long as he could see what she had in her hands to offer, Lei Qian would certainly treat her well, right?
Thus, there was nothing wrong with a little sacrifice. Even if everyone in the vicinity could see her, the woman was willing to do it for her own future.
