The speaker was Lin Qingqing. She had parked her car by the roadside to rest last night. Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that she woke up early in the morning and witnessed such an interesting scene.
There was an innocent young girl who was coaxed into helping, a brother who, out of deep love for his sister, chased after to stop her, and the wretched - eyed man who, in order to achieve his own goal, surely wouldn't agree to let her go.
Judging from their conversation, the wretched - eyed man wanted to deal with a second - order zombie and needed the help of a water - type superpower user.
The reason he found this young girl might be that a superpower user named Xiao Xin had died before, so there was no one else willing to go with him?
Water - type superpower users weren't extremely rare. Could the fact that he couldn't find anyone else mean that the second - order zombie was very dangerous?
"A second - order zombie? I've never seen a second - order zombie before!"
Lin Qingqing originally didn't plan to get involved, but she didn't expect there to be a second - order zombie in this situation.
She was extremely curious. What on earth did a second - order zombie that four or five people couldn't handle look like?
By this time, it was already broad daylight, and the white morning mist had dissipated. The young man and the wretched - eyed man saw a black SUV emerging on the other side of the road.
The car window was half - open, and a young woman was slightly leaning out, looking at them.
The two men looked at each other, and for a moment, they weren't sure whether this beautiful woman who suddenly appeared in the morning mist was a human or a fairy.
Seeing them stunned, Lin Qingqing said, "I..."Seeing them stunned, Lin Qingqing said, "I've been here all along. It's just that you didn't notice me. I didn't eavesdrop on purpose."
"So she's not a fairy after all..."
The wretched - eyed man mumbled to himself. It was hard to tell from his expression whether he was disappointed or something else.
"Despicable!" The young man glared at him fiercely.
The wretched - eyed man glared back defiantly.
Ignoring him, the young man turned to Lin Qingqing. "We're from Qing County Base. Where are you from?"
There's a base in Qing County? Looking at these people, Lin Qingqing thought that the base probably wasn't very large. Without showing her thoughts, she casually skipped over this question.
"I'm just a passer - by. I heard you discussing killing zombies just now. Is there anything I can help with?"
"You can help?"
The wretched - eyed man narrowed his small eyes and sized her up carefully. His gaze was definitely not friendly.
"Tell me. Maybe we do need you after all."Hearing her say this, the wretched - eyed man was a bit hesitant. If it were some other unknown passer - by suddenly offering to help, he would definitely think the person had ulterior motives.
But since it was a young, single woman speaking, he wasn't as resistant. Moreover, he had just been caught up by Si Yu. Judging by Si Yu's temper, he knew for sure that he couldn't take Si Qing away this time.
If this woman was a water - type superpower user... it wasn't out of the question.
After his mind raced, the wretched - eyed man was about to ask the woman about her superpower when the girl who had been hiding behind her brother suddenly spoke.
"That's a second - order fire - type zombie. If you're not a water - type superpower user, you can't help!"
The wretched - eyed man glared at her unhappily for cutting in.
Realizing she might have said something wrong, the girl immediately shut her mouth and hid further behind her brother.
The young man quickly reached out to protect his sister as well.
Not afraid of the wretched - eyed man, he turned to Lin Qingqing and said, "My sister is right. Second - order zombies are indeed difficult to deal with. Miss, you'd better think it over!"
"Think over what? Since she dares to act alone, she must be capable. I even dared to take your sister who can't kill zombies. Let alone this young lady."
Hearing the brother and sister sing against him, the wretched - eyed man, who had been hesitant, immediately stopped hesitating.He had already fought this second - order zombie twice. If he delayed any longer and someone else snatched the crystal nucleus first, his dream of becoming a second - order superpower user would be shattered.
"I'm indeed not a water - type superpower user, but I think the ice - type should be more suitable than the water - type, right?"
So that zombie was indeed of the fire - type. No wonder they needed a water - type superpower user. Although Lin Qingqing didn't know how they had figured out the zombie's attribute in advance, it didn't stop her from volunteering.
"Ice... ice - type? Are you really an ice - type superpower user?"
When he first heard that she wasn't a water - type, the wretched - eyed man was a bit disappointed. But he never expected that the second sentence would give him a big surprise.
The ice - type was of course more suitable than the water - type, and much more so!
Lin Qingqing knew that the other party might not believe her, so she condensed a piece of ice and threw it to the wretched - eyed man.
"Want a taste?"
The wretched - eyed man reached out to catch the fist - sized ice cube. The icy cold air made him shiver.
"It's really ice!"
The wretched - eyed man believed it now.
Of course he wouldn't taste it. Instead, he immediately turned around and threw the ice cube to the young man. As a fire - type superpower user, he didn't like such cold things at all.
"Hello, hello. My name is Chu Wei, and I'm a fire - type superpower user. May I ask your surname, miss?"
"I'm surnamed Lin. Now I can be of help, right?"
"You can, definitely. Miss Lin is too modest!"
The wretched - eyed man, that is, Chu Wei, nodded quickly, as if afraid that she would go back on her word.
Seeing this situation, the young man knew his persuasion was useless. Well, since both parties were willing, he didn't need to be the bad guy. As long as he could stop his sister, it was fine. As for the others, it was none of his business.
"Then you guys continue to discuss. I'll take Si Qing back. As for the deposit, I'll return it to you in full when you come back!"After Si Yu finished speaking, he pulled his sister Si Qing into the car and left without looking back.
Both Chu Wei and Lin Qingqing were glad to see the brother - sister duo leave.
Chu Wei was happy because he had a better choice and naturally no longer cared about Si Qing. Si Yu left promptly, saving him the trouble of further persuasion.
Lin Qingqing was happy because once the water - type young girl left, she was truly the only option left for the other party.
"So, Mr. Chu, how much reward are you going to pay me?"
Seeing Si Yu's car drive away, Lin Qingqing asked casually.
"Hmm?" Chu Wei didn't expect the other party to suddenly bring up the reward.
"Surely it can't be the same as what you offered that water - type girl?"
Helping was just an excuse for her to get involved; she definitely wouldn't do it for free. Besides, she was a second - order superpower user, though the other party didn't know that.
At this moment, Chu Wei also realized that this woman approaching him on her own initiative surely didn't intend to work for nothing.
He glanced at Lin Qingqing and was estimating a suitable price in his mind. Just as he was about to make an offer, Lin Qingqing said again, "I'm an ice - type superpower user. I don't need ordinary crystal nuclei."Well, she's said it all.
Chu Wei was left speechless. Clearly, this woman was blatantly asking for ice - type crystal nuclei.
He had thought she was a kind - hearted little rabbit, but who knew she was a shrewd one! Now that Si Qing had left, he had no other choice.
Chu Wei couldn't help but miss the naive and easily - deceived Si Qing. She was a genuine innocent girl, unfortunately, she had a brother who was not so easy to fool.
