Chapter 121: Chapter 14: The Queen’s Return (14)

At that time, the situation made Li Shuning’s emotions surge, choosing to come to this world, she wasted a chance to save her life.

Li Shuning gave a bitter smile, there was still a long road ahead.

Since she had come to this world, Li Shuning chose to meet a few people in this world.

After all, she hadn’t shown her face for a long time, and this world would be useful in the future. She didn’t want this world to spiral out of her control.

Li Shuning’s appearance naturally made many people very happy, but some were disappointed.

But none of this affected Li Shuning. She showed her face and then disappeared again, indicating that she was currently at a bottleneck and needed to constantly retreat to seek breakthroughs.

In this world, Li Shuning’s strength was still quite formidable. Upon arriving, she found that the things from the Zombie World were still here.

She took out the crystals and studied them, discovering the energy inside was very violent, and there was a kind of virus present.

No wonder those who had awakened superpowers, having developed antibodies to the virus, would be fine absorbing the crystals, while some ordinary people blindly absorbed them, causing some to explode and die, and others to turn directly into zombies.

Li Shuning then quietly sought out some herbs to refine elixir pills that could suppress that virus.

But unfortunately, she didn’t have many of those herbs, unable to acquire them in large quantities, so she only refined three pills in total.

Returning to the Zombie World, Li Shuning found Baijing County very quiet, spreading her spiritual power, only to discover there was no one around.

She couldn’t help but sigh a little. Those people still didn’t listen to her in the end.

Was the outside world so easy to traverse? If it were so easy, why would they come here?

Taking out the corpses of Li Qing and his wife, Li Shuning remained silent for a long time, finally deciding to cremate them, collecting their ashes together in a jar, and placing it into the Qiankun Ring.

After doing these things, Li Shuning still decided to explore outside, just in case someone survived.

Driving the car, when she was still some distance from the riverbank, she discovered some zombies.

Those zombies looked somewhat familiar; they were the people from Baijing County earlier.

Li Shuning fell silent for a long time, putting away the car and driving the hovercar with the invisibility effect enabled to search around.

When she realized there were no living people left, she sighed.

The situation was already explained quite clearly that day. Unexpectedly, those people still chose to leave.

Even if she hadn’t gone back to the mission sub-world at that time, she probably couldn’t have stopped them. Maybe they would have thought of asking her to take them with her.

Li Shuning shook her head and returned to Baijing County.

Nowadays, Baijing County was indeed a good place.

Li Shuning found the supermarket; those people looted the supermarket clean that day, and now the supermarket appeared very messy.

However, they snatched all the food and necessities that day.

Yet some snack-like items were left, like chocolates, alcohol, large bottles of drinks, milk, and so on.

Li Shuning collected everything useful in the supermarket.

Even the barrelled water was completely gathered up.

She then searched other parts of the supermarket and discovered the warehouse. After taking all the items, Li Shuning searched again.

Finding a hotel in the city center, she went straight to the top floor of the hotel, selecting a suite to stay in.

This hotel was apparently quite good, and the floor was high, providing a view of many places. After settling in, Li Shuning prepared to use the crystals.

The current Baijing County was very safe. If she didn’t take this opportunity to use the crystals and awaken her powers, when else would she do it?

Li Shuning quickly took out a crystal, first guiding the energy inside with her spiritual power, so that the energy was no longer so violent. Then her spiritual power suddenly materialized, crushing the crystal into powder.

Li Shuning swallowed the powder.

Gradually, Li Shuning noticed energy rampaging within her body, accompanied by a sense of numbness.

Li Shuning knew the virus was starting to act, so she immediately swallowed a pre-prepared elixir pill.

After a day passed, Li Shuning was drenched in sweat due to the foreign energy, but she hadn’t awakened any superpowers.

After resting a bit and adjusting to her optimal state, she swallowed another crystal.

This time, the already present energy in her body suddenly boiled, and her body immediately felt wrong. She quickly swallowed the elixir pill, but after a while, she noticed her vision blur, and her heartbeat turned irregular.

Li Shuning got a bit nervous, thinking for a moment before gritting her teeth and swallowing the last elixir pill.

After swallowing it, Li Shuning endured for a while longer, but eventually blacked out and lay on the bed, losing consciousness.

When Li Shuning woke up, she got up abruptly, holding her chest, feeling her heart pounding heavily.

She actually lost consciousness; she had been careless.

Although there wasn’t a single person nor zombies in the county, who knew what might appear the next moment? She had been unconscious and might have been killed if someone came.

She had thought the elixir’s effect was foolproof, but even after swallowing two, without three pills, if there were only two in total, wouldn’t she have…

At this thought, Li Shuning felt a wave of fear.

Li Shuning carefully sensed and revealed a smile. Fortunately, the adventure was successful; she had awakened her superpower.

Perhaps, because the crystals were obtained from the Fish Monster, she actually awakened the Water Ability.

Moreover, she felt that outside of the Water Ability, there were other aspects to her superpower as well.

Was that why she needed to swallow the other elixir pill?

Li Shuning entered the bathroom, took out a barrel of water, and quickly took a shower. Then she especially controlled her superpower, ready to clean out some zombies.

She didn’t intend to absorb more crystals yet. After all, she had just awakened her powers and needed to get familiar with them first.

Moreover, leaving those zombies by the river, if one day they advanced, it wouldn’t be a good situation.

Li Shuning’s body, having absorbed a crystal, was now somewhat improved.

She used her superpowers while wielding the Tang Blade, clearing about twenty zombies by the riverbank at once.

Feeling a bit exhausted as her superpower depleted, she retreated back to Baijing County.

After resting, she went to the riverbank again, and, after a week, she finally cleared the zombies by the riverbank.

After clearing the zombies, Li Shuning absorbed another crystal.

Having initially obtained five crystals, Li Qing absorbed two, she used two to awaken her powers, and with this one absorbed, the crystals were gone, prompting her to check out the Fish Monsters by the river.

By the riverbank, none of the zombies had a crystal.

After slashing down all the zombies and failing to find any crystals, Li Shuning burned them to prevent the bodies from decaying there.

After finishing the crystal absorption, Li Shuning discovered the energy within her body had grown significantly, and her control over water had expanded, clearly breaking through to the Second Rank.

When she exited the county, she looked at the road, pondering for a moment before suddenly taking out a pack of explosives; this was given to her by Li Qing back at the Li Family.

She blew up some houses at the county’s entrance to block the road.

The building debris piled up high, and Li Shuning scattered a lot of glass and sharp steel spikes on top.

Whenever entering and exiting, she would swing across using ropes extended from the only intact tall building.

This was all planned for the future; though no one was here now, who could say what would happen later?
