Feeling a weak suction, he retracted his finger just in time to stop her from sucking more of his blood.
It was not good for her if she tasted too much of it… Tasting just a little would make it harder to forget instead.
As he watched her expression disappear, his furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
Shen Zhiting stood up, as if the romantic scene just now was just a dream, and he quickly disappeared from Tang Susu’s room.
After he left, the three “wooden stakes” standing in the corridor blinked and regained their consciousness.
“How’s Susu?” Seeing that there was no movement inside, Mrs. Tang began to wander around anxiously again.
Tang Mingchu was visibly becoming impatient as well.
Only Tang Mingzhou lowered his eyes. “I’ll go in and take a look.”
“Hmm?” The other two were surprised. “Didn’t you just stop us from going in?”
“The situation is different now.” Tang Mingzhou pushed the door open as he spoke. A pungent smell immediately assaulted his nose, and he subconsciously frowned.
When he realized that the stench came from Susu’s body, he immediately felt no discomfort anymore.
He walked to her bedside and saw from the girl’s dirty little face that she was still sleepy. Not only did she not feel any more pain, but she also seemed to be very comfortable. Even her hair seemed to be healthier than before. He felt relieved.
He was a little surprised. “Could it be that my senses are wrong?”
Tang Susu slept until the next morning.
Her small face was rosy and full, and her body was agile and powerful as she got out of bed. She didn’t have the slightest bit of fatigue at all compared to her last upgrade.
“It stinks, it stinks so much! How did I end up asleep until now?”
‘You’re sleeping too comfortably.’
Tang Susu couldn’t deny the comfort of every cell in her body, as if she was breathing lightly. She took out her personal bathtub and poured in the hot water that she had already prepared inside her inventory.
After washing off the filth, Tang Susu rubbed her delicate skin again until it was red with disgust on her face.
After bathing herself and changing the water three times, she sat down in the bathtub, satisfied. She put a wet towel on her forehead and slowly closed her eyes and she breathed. She emptied herself and took a fragrant hot bath.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly opened her pair of bright and sparkling peach eyes. “I remember now.”
‘Hm? What do you remember?’ 008 asked absent-mindedly as it gnawed on an energy block.
“Yuan Lie has a light-type superpower. He has the same super-rare superpower as the Zombie King. Shi Shaochen might be with him!”
As Tang Susu spoke, she quickly came out of the water and wiped her almost perfect body with a dry towel. She then put on her clothes and didn’t even have time to dry her wet hair.
The moment he opened the door, she realized that the entire Siheyuan was a little too quiet.
Now that she had become a normal person, her physique was actually far superior to normal people. After all, no one’s body was without any problems or old injuries, but Tang Susu’s health was close to perfect!
Her hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch were all extremely good. She could even detect the slightest movement in the Siheyuan.
“Where did they go?” Just as Tang Susu was just about to leave when she saw them walking back from a fork on the street not far away.
“Susu?” When the three of them saw her standing at the door and smiling at them, they quickly ran over in surprise. “How do you feel now? Are you feeling much better?”
Tang Susu smiled, her good mood visible to the naked eye. “I’m fine, I’m really fine. I’m completely fine, without a trace of illness!”
Mrs. Tang held her and looked at her again and again. Although she couldn’t see any differences, she could still feel that something was different. She was so happy that she didn’t know what to do.
“That’s great. Our Susu is a healthy person now!”
The two brothers were all smiling until Tang Susu asked what they were doing.
“Let’s talk about it when we get back.” Tang Mingzhou looked around and said in a low voice.
Tang Susu’s heart grew heavy. She looked at her second brother and father, who had not arrived yet. It had been almost two days, so it was impossible for them not to have rushed over.
Especially when she had specifically instructed them to think of a way to bring Bai Yanhui over, so that they could reduce the risks on the way.
With his brother’s martial strength, Tang Susu wasn’t worried at all…
After returning to the Siheyuan and closing the door, Tang Mingzhou said, “Two strange things had happened.”
“Strange?”
“Shi Shaochen’s subordinates who were shot dead by Mr. Wei yesterday… Their corpses are all gone!”
Tang Susu frowned slightly.
“Mr. Wei said that he had someone bury them. But before he could deal with them, they were all gone. We searched the entire shelter, but we couldn’t find any clues.”
“Perhaps… Yuan Lie?” Tang Susu muttered to herself and told them what she knew.
Before this, she had already taught them about the differences between innate superpowers, awakened superpowers, and the special superpowers which corresponded to innate superpowers, like those in the Metahuman Squad.
The awakened superpowers corresponded to the normal superpowers, which were formed of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Rare superpowers included natural type superpowers such as wind, thunder, and ice, as well as mutated superpowers such as psychokinesis, space, and healing. Then there were the super rare superpowers, which were light and dark.
Some possessed multi-elemental superpowers, like Mrs. Tang’s dual superpowers. Of course, the multi-elemental superpowers come with all kinds of combinations, such as special+normal, normal+rare, or even double rare!
However, it was very difficult for people with dual abilities to develop in a balanced manner. After all, people had limited energy, and mastering abilities was not as easy as gaming. There was also the biggest drawback of dual abilities, which was leveling up.
They had to reach maximum mastery for both at the same time in order to advance, or he would not be able to break through the bottleneck.
Many single-element superpowers could reach their highest potential easier. For example, Cheng Cheng, who had an ordinary fire ability, could become one of the top ten elites because rare superpowers were harder to master than ordinary superpowers.
As for super-rare abilities, they were hundreds of times more difficult than ordinary abilities!
“But what does Yuan Lie want to do? We can explain that he saved Shi Shaochen for Ying Chengya, but why did he take away those corpses?”
Tang Susu couldn’t understand it either, but how could they use normal people’s line of thoughts to speculate about what a little monster would do? “What’s the other strange thing?”
“There’s a Metahuman squad here called the Wind Squad. I’ve asked around, and the members are all very strong, but they’re an independent organization. They don’t want to join Shi Shaochen or Mr. Wei. They’re always in a state where they can leave. They often go out to look for supplies and hunt for crystal cores. They also do missions for the shelter.”
“When we came here the day before yesterday, didn’t we encounter a swarm of mutated insects? They said that they were mutated midge and that they saw us flying the helicopter. At that time, the mutated midge noticed them and turned around.”
Tang Susu felt that he was about to say something and looked at him inquisitively.
Tang Mingzhou pursed his lips and said, “They tried their best to get rid of those mutated midges, and then they said that those midges… might fly in the direction of Qingzhou…”
