Hua Mi made a "please" gesture, indicating that the men were free to go in without any issues.
But at this time, the bodyguards of the Qu Family and Captain Zhao's men showed some obvious hesitation.
One of Captain Zhao's teammates whimsically said,
"Why don't you let your Doctor Lin, give us some supplies, then we won't go in."
"Do you think whether you go in or not can threaten me?"
It was at this moment that Captain Zhao squinted at Hua Mi and asked,
"Are you also a Space Superpower User?"
As soon as these words came out, the more than twenty people at the shelter's entrance fell into silence.
Captain Zhao said to Hua Mi,
"I just saw you casually toss a bucket of gasoline in there; where did that bucket of gasoline come from?"
"Was it hidden in space and you just flung it out like that?"
He had worked with Su Ruyan for over a year and knew the conveniences of a Space Superpower User.
Before, Su Ruyan could also just casually toss out a pile of supplies.
Thinking back to Hua Mi's consistent disdainful attitude towards Su Ruyan,
Captain Zhao suddenly realized that Su Ruyan's space superpower wasn't as she claimed, the only one in the apocalypse.
Hua Mi, that ugly woman, was not only formidable in combat, but also a Space Superpower User. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novèlfire.net
This perfectly explained why Lin Zhigang kept saying he didn't have transmission tickets, despite not having tickets, but the few people in their RV, never went out looking for supplies.
Because Hua Mi had supplies in her space.
Captain Zhao's words made the group of men around him gleam with greed.
And at this moment, a woman staggered through the room filled with Mutant Beast eggs.
Her feet stepped on a chilling pile of white bones, finally stopping inside the door, looking indifferently at Hua Mi outside.
It was Qu Yimin, who had been trapped in the basement by Uncle Qu.
Hua Mi lit the lighter in her hand,
"Come out quickly, I'm going to start the fire."
Just as everyone thought Qu Yimin would run out, she slowly shook her head.
She picked up an emerald ring from under her feet.
That ring belonged to Uncle Qu.
And next to the ring, was a skeleton that had been gnawed clean.
Her uncle was already dead.
Hua Mi frowned, looking at the heartbroken appearance of Qu Yimin.
She was slightly impatient,
"Don't delay any further, come out now or I'll burn you too."
Captain Zhao and the other men beside her had a complete 360-degree change in attitude after learning that Hua Mi was a Space Superpower User,
"Right, let's burn this place down quickly."
"I saw it, inside are all eggs, loads and loads of eggs. We don't know how many little Mutant Beasts would hatch from these."
"Let's burn it fast, don't bother with that woman..."
The men outside no longer thought about going in for supplies.
After losing a Space Superpower User like Su Ruyan, they had met another Space Superpower User.
And this Space Superpower User, compared to Su Ruyan who only knew to have the whole team protect her, a burden, had stronger combat abilities.
Without needing to discuss, Captain Zhao and the rest decided in minutes, from now on to cling tightly to Hua Mi's coattails and stick with Hua Mi to get by.
Among them, the Qu Family's bodyguards stood in silence, knowing that this was Miss Qu of the Qu Family.
After the apocalypse began, honestly, Uncle Qu was quite generous to them.
But at this moment, none of them wanted to take along the lonely Miss Qu, nor did they kick her while she was down by urging Hua Mi to burn Qu Yimin to death immediately.
Perhaps their silence was the greatest act of kindness they could muster at the moment.
Hua Mi glanced over at Captain Zhao and his team, staying silent.
Her gaze then turned to Qu Yimin, asking with her eyes whether Qu Yimin would come out or not.
Tears shimmered in Qu Yimin's eyes. At this time, the fear and murkiness that once clouded her gaze were gone.
Instead, Hua Mi felt this was one of the few moments in Qu Yimin's life when she was truly lucid.
Hua Mi, standing outside the door, slightly furrowed her brows and said to Qu Yimin,
"I used to really dislike you, but women like you are in abundance in the apocalypse."
"Some will die, but others will choose to be reborn from the ashes. If you are lucky enough and strong enough, you could live to see a whole new world."
Tears streamed down Qu Yimin's face as she slowly shook her head,
"It's no use, I'm too tired, I don't have the courage to keep living."
She had suffered terribly at the hands of Hu Yanxiang.
Back then, she knew she might not be able to make it back to E City Base to see her brother and the elders of the Qu Family.
Later she made contact with Uncle Qu, the only family member she had left, but now Uncle Qu was dead too.
How could Qu Yimin carry on alone in the apocalypse?
She wasn't that strong.
Look at those Qu Family bodyguards outside, who would want to take on her life in the apocalypse?
Qu Yimin spread her arms and stood within the Mutant Beast's egg, slowly extending her arms.
Crying, she said to Hua Mi,
"I've finally remembered where I've seen you before, I know who you are."
Perhaps at first, Qu Yimin had not recognized Hua Mi.
But now, as her mind became clear, Qu Yimin recognized the woman before her as the very pregnant woman, Hua Mi, whom she had once been so determined to eliminate.
But what did it matter now? Her Uncle Qu was dead, what was Qu Yimin to do with this knowledge?
She couldn't ingratiate herself with Hua Mi as other women might, with long sleeves adept at handling matters.
Nor could she, like others, wield great fighting power to move forward and kill Hua Mi.
Qu Yimin was incapable of doing anything.
She didn't even explicitly state what Hua Mi's true identity was,
"Light the fire, send me off, thank you."
Qu Yimin slowly closed her eyes, a smile spreading across her face.
It was as if, with Hua Mi dropping the lighter, she could return to the time before the apocalypse when she was still Miss Qu of the Qu Family.
She was still haughty and spoiled, still innocent and naive, with parents and an older brother, and uncles who doted on her and held her dearly in their hands.
She grew up in E City, where their Qu Family was like the king of the land.
There she had classmates, relatives, people who loved her, and people she loved.
Hua Mi, expressionless, tossed the lighter into the Mutant Beast's nest.
The flame instantly ignited into a roaring fire.
Qu Yimin's face was filled with a joyous and naïve smile as flames enveloped her body.
Time to say goodbye at last, to this damn apocalypse.
