Chapter 464: 257 Food Issue (First Update)

Similarly undergoing Awakening was a middle-aged woman. Despite her age and poor talent, her strong survival instincts and perseverance carried her through. Once Fang Yuxin gave her a pure dose of Wood Energy, she tenaciously clung to the vigorous vitality it provided and successfully became a superpower user.

However, the process was excruciating. She felt as if her body was being torn apart bit by bit and then re-forged. Every minute, every second was torture, yet the whole process lasted for two hours before it ended!

The Awakening of superpowers varied from person to person, without a fixed duration. The worse the body’s condition, the longer it took since there were more areas to mend. Mostly because most of the energy was used to repair deficiencies in the body, their talent after Awakening wasn’t naturally high, unless they could obtain an Elemental Crystal to enhance their talent.

Although Fang Yuxin quite admired these two people, giving them a pure Wood Energy was already out of benevolence and righteousness, it was naturally impossible to give them the precious Elemental Crystals.

Unless they could find Elemental Crystals themselves.

The woman’s nephew, who was driving, saw her face gradually return from pale to a healthy complexion through the rearview mirror. His grip on the steering wheel faltered, and the vehicle immediately swerved, nearly crashing and hitting the car next to them.

Fortunately, he quickly steered the vehicle back, narrowly avoiding a collision.

The young man in the neighboring car, frightened out of his wits, couldn’t help but curse at him, "Zhao Liang, how the hell are you driving? If you want to die say it straight! Don’t drag others down!"

Zhao Liang, the young man called by name, hastily apologized, "Sorry! Sorry! I wasn’t paying attention! It wasn’t on purpose! Brother Qian, please calm down." He knew he had almost caused an accident, so his attitude was rather polite, not directly losing his temper.

The young man opposite pulled a face but didn’t continue to make a fuss. After all, they had once lived together as neighbors, now in times of apocalypse, making a scene over such a small matter didn’t seem right, and if the superpower users ahead knew about it, they’d probably abandon them.

Thus, the situation quickly calmed down, the old man looked at the neighboring car and through the shattered window, he saw the middle-aged woman sitting up, leaning on her seat, gasping for breath. Although her face was sweaty and her hair damp and clinging to her face, her complexion already looked much better and was no longer that of a "dead person’s face."

The old man then said to his grandson, "Alright, that’s enough, it seems your Aunt Zhao has pulled through after all. That’s a good thing."

The young man, startled, turned his head to look and said, "Really? That’s incredible! She’s so old... and she can still awaken?"

The old man, annoyed by his words, slapped him on the head and scolded, "Enough, stop talking nonsense! Just know this and don’t run your mouth! Also, remember to show some respect to those two! Don’t be like Zhao Liang messing things up!"

With that, the old man thought about the earlier scene and shook his head involuntarily, thinking that the youngster was really spoiled; despite his age and having attended college, he was still so thoughtless!

The young man chuckled to himself and glanced at the car beside them, his look somewhat dismissive. Although he hadn’t attended college, he wasn’t foolish! Those two weren’t to be offended, Zhao Liang, that fool, could never see what was obvious!

Along the way, they hadn’t encountered much trouble; occasionally, zombies or Mutated Birds appeared, but Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye easily dealt with them. There hadn’t been any sightings of Mutant Plants either, which was either because they were naturally scarce or had not dared to emerge.

Soon, another hour passed, and it was six-thirty in the afternoon. Although it wasn’t dark yet, Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye were feeling hungry.

Being superpower users, they consumed a lot and also had fast digestion. The two weren’t inclined to hold themselves back, so they stopped their vehicle at the roadside, ready to gather some food.

Once they stopped, everyone else naturally followed suit, though they dared not come too close, maintaining a careful distance and watching cautiously.

With outsiders present, it wasn’t suitable for Fang Yuxin to directly take fresh ingredients from her space. She said to Bai Ye, "I’ll look nearby for some edible wild vegetables, you..."

She meant to say "you stay here," but before she could finish, Bai Ye said, "I’ll come with you." He wasn’t trying to pry into Fang Yuxin’s secrets, for he had already been inside Qingmu Spiritual Mansion. Although he had only stayed in the main hall, he knew that the place couldn’t possibly consist only of the main hall. Otherwise, how could the whereabouts of the Ginseng Spirit be explained?
