Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 42: Fighting Zombies Together
Chapter 42 - 42: Fighting Zombies Together
"Awakening a second superpower. One of the soldiers guarding a gas station was affected last night and was scratched by a zombie while fighting. He didn't hide the scratch and once he killed the zombie, he attempted to pull the trigger on himself.
But his squad leader stopped him and told him he wouldn't give up on him unless he turned into a zombie. Just like the first day, he got a high fever, but this one was worse. Going up to 44°, it is a miracle he didn't turn into an idiot.
When he woke up in the morning, apart from the earth ability he had awakened on the first day, he also had a new water ability." Jing Xian explained in detail.
"It looks like opportunities and danger go hand-in-hand." Chu Miao said with her sweet voice that could weaken the knees. In fact, Ye Xuan felt his knees weaken hearing that voice.
He had heard it in his dreams countless times, but it sounded more imposing than it did now. He couldn't understand what was wrong with him.
"Even if it is an opportunity, the risk is too great. Everyone should be careful not to get scratched. It's better to cultivate in the fog and improve the superpowers we already have instead of taking risks for a mirage." Grandpa advised when he heard his granddaughter's statement.
"I know Grandpa, I won't take unnecessary risks." Chu Miao replied to her grandfather. She knew he was worried about her, so she was happy and replied with a smile.
"Don't give me a smile then go behind my back and get yourself scratched or bitten. Bunny, I know your character well. You are a dare-devil and will take a risk if you think you can help the country. So, don't even think about it."
Since she woke up after the accident and gained memories of her previous life, Grandpa Chu had noticed that his granddaughter's thoughts had shifted. She would go to war to protect her country and its people, but all he cared about was her safety.
Hearing Grandpa Chu say that, all the other members of the Chu family turned their eyes in Chu Miao's direction. It was as if they were saying, 'We are watching you'.
Chu Miao couldn't understand, they weren't like this before, but after her coma, they had been watching her like a hawk even though they didn't make it too obvious.
She might not have noticed it, but her family had noticed that she was influenced by the memories of her previous life. She had been instilled from a young age a duty as a general to protect the people of her kingdom even with her life.
And some of that belief had resurfaced. It was the apocalypse now, and many people would become worse than monsters. Her family didn't want her sense of duty to cause her to risk her life for people who didn't deserve it.
They knew she had to do her duty to fulfill the prophecy and try to overcome the apocalypse, and they would help her with everything they had, but they wouldn't let her risk her life.
Looking at the gazes her family was giving her, Chu Miao had no choice but to extinguish the little thought that had surfaced in her mind about getting a little scratch and testing if she could awaken another superpower.
She had wanted to test and see if it was possible and how it worked. This way, she may be able to help more ordinary people awaken in the future. Too bad it's not possible now.
She would not make her family worry because of strangers.
"Bunny, did you hear what your grandfather said?" Her father was still worried and had to confirm, otherwise he would keep worrying. He knew that as long as she promised, then she would keep her promise.
"I heard Daddy; I promise I will not get a single scratch or even lose a single hair when fighting the zombies." She could only reassure them.
Everyone collectively heaved a sigh of relief. It was a comical sight for those watching, but Ye Xuan picked up a few things from the conversation.
One, the girl was the darling of the whole family; she was not to be messed with.
Two; she was daring and not afraid of danger, like a qualified soldier since she dared to think about getting scratched by a zombie to an unverified theory.
Three; she was trustworthy and always kept her word. Otherwise, her family wouldn't have been so relieved just because she promised to be careful and not get scratched.
He was getting more and more intrigued by her.
The other team members of Ye Xuan were just looking at the family with surprised expressions. The bond in this family was enviable.
Also, it was funny that the only girl was called Bunny, and she did look like a little rabbit, but they had seen her bite before. She was definitely not a rabbit.
They still remembered the day before how she had taken down a six-foot-tall man with a single punch.
"Okay, then we will go start at the back door, moving inward while little Xuan and his team go through the front door." Grandpa Chu started distributing tasks.
Hearing him call Ye Xuan 'little Xuan,' everyone, including Father Chu, turned around to look at Ye Xuan. They wanted to see his expression, but to their disappointment there was none.
In fact, Ye Xuan was also shocked by that form of address as apart from his late grandfather, no one else had dared to call him that. It felt like he had found another elder who was close to him.
So, he ignored the gazes the others gave him and agreed to Grandpa Chu's arrangements.
"Okay, Grandpa Chu, we'll meet at the lobby."
When the others heard him call the general 'Grandpa Chu' they had different reactions. The Chu family knew that their grandfather had asked him to call him that so it was no surprise. But his brothers were more than shocked.
It was unbelievable that the Ye Xuan they knew would call someone else grandpa with such a familiar tone so easily.
Lei Ying especially was itching for gossip to the point of rubbing his palms together.
They couldn't wait to separate from the Chu family to get the details of the gossip.
