The next second, the two who shared the same plight both looked at Jiang Yufeng, who hadn't awakened any ability yet.
Jiang Yufeng smiled sheepishly. "Well, it seems I do have an ability now."
As he spoke, he raised his head, and then two gusts of wind blew onto the faces of Yu Ke and Xue Zhao.
Yu Ke looked at Xue Zhao and wailed, "Is it because both our names are two characters long?"
"The sky is falling."
Jiang Yuntan: ...
What a bizarre train of thought.
When he said that, Lin Xuan and the others, who were also eating breakfast nearby, looked over at him.
Lin Xuan thought to himself: Could it really be because their names are two characters long?
Then he turned to Xia Chujing and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Xia Chujing found it a bit strange. She shook her head. "No."
"Oh." Lin Xuan replied indifferently.
He turned back, intending to continue his breakfast, but then he saw his sister staring intently in Jiang Yuntan's direction.
Lin Xuan frowned. "What are you trying to do now?"
"What do you mean by that, brother?" Lin Tingxue pretended not to understand.
Lin Xuan's tone held back something. "Don't you know what I mean? Didn't I tell you not to provoke Jiang Yuntan? With that temper of hers, not only does Shen Hegui have no way to handle her, but Uncle Shen also protects her. Why are you antagonizing her?"
"Aren't you usually very sensible? Why did you go after her, even smashing her bracelet yesterday?"
Lin Tingxue continued to deny it. "I didn't mean to. I really just wanted to help heal the wound on her hand. I had good intentions; I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
Seeing her stubbornness, Lin Xuan had no choice but to say coldly, "Shen Hegui told me yesterday that if Jiang Yuntan wants to split from us later, he will agree. The two of you together are prone to conflict. It's better to separate, so there won't be any arguments or accidents in the future."
"He also said that if Jiang Yuntan ever faces danger and you are present, he, Shen Hegui, and the Shen family will hold you and the Lin family accountable. So you'd better behave and stop scheming."
"When we get back to Jing City, the Lin family might still need to cooperate with the Shen family."
Upon hearing this, Lin Tingxue lowered her eyes and said, "I understand."
Fine, anyway, Jiang Yuntan's biggest reliance had been destroyed by her. Many things could be planned step by step. Besides, Shen Hegui didn't like Jiang Yuntan; he only treated her as a sister.
Wasn't that something everyone knew?
In the future, she would never make a move on Jiang Yuntan in front of Shen Hegui. She would find an opportunity.
Once back in Jing City, she would definitely have her own say. After all, before the apocalypse, she had prepared a lot of supplies. Plus, she now had a Healing Ability.
Lin Tingxue thought of many comforting words in her mind, but in the end, she couldn't calm down.
She had already destroyed Jiang Yuntan's golden finger, but then heaven let her awaken a Fire Ability. How infuriating.
She would never forget how, in her past life, Jiang Yuntan had crushed her into the dust. She merely liked Shen Hegui, so why did Jiang Yuntan say she was despicable?
That orphan Jiang Yuntan, relying on Uncle Shen's favor, never took her seriously and never looked her in the eye. She, as a legitimate daughter of the Lin family, was overshadowed by Jiang Yuntan, with others giving her cold looks. It must be because Jiang Yuntan had said something bad about her behind her back.
Jiang Yuntan was definitely taking revenge because Shen Hegui's gaze had once fallen on her, and because she had almost been engaged to Shen Hegui.
She simply couldn't understand why Jiang Yuntan was so popular. Later, she found out: Jiang Yuntan had a golden finger, and she used those things to win people over.
If only she could have that golden finger, she would definitely do better than Jiang Yuntan. But now, she had destroyed it with her own hands.
But it didn't matter. She would rather destroy it than let Jiang Yuntan have it. She only regretted not finding a way to take that bracelet earlier, forcing her to resort to this last resort.
However, she had already made Jiang Yuntan leave a bad impression on everyone, and Shen Hegui had started to notice and appreciate her. Whenever Shen Hegui showed a little kindness to Jiang Yuntan, the girl would go crazy. This little misunderstanding would fade once everyone received her help later.
Jiang Yuntan noticed Lin Tingxue's gaze and wasn't surprised.
She had reviewed the original owner's memories several times and found that their conflict was really just a childish quarrel. It was all about competing for Shen Hegui.
Relying on her status as his fiancée, the original owner had said many harsh things to Lin Tingxue, but from the original owner's perspective, it didn't seem unreasonable.
Emotional problems seemed like small matters, but how many people in this world had lost their lives because of seemingly simple things?
So she wouldn't regard this as a trivial matter and expect Lin Tingxue to go easy on her. On the contrary, she thought Lin Tingxue was a stubborn person, so she wouldn't count on her backing down.
The rain kept falling, but it was visibly lessening.
Shen Hegui also got up.
After getting up, he saw Jiang Yuntan drying her hair with a towel.
Yu Ke went up to him and said, "Brother Shen, let me tell you, little sister has awakened a Fire Ability."
Shen Hegui's hand paused. "When did this happen?"
Jiang Yuntan briefly explained, "I found myself with a fever late last night, so I took some fever medicine. When I woke up this morning, the fever had gone, and I had awakened a Fire Ability."
"That's good." Shen Hegui smiled upon hearing this. "But next time you get sick in the middle of the night, come find one of us on watch. Otherwise, what if you get too feverish and end up stupid?"
"Pfft, no way," Jiang Yuntan quickly said. "I was really too weak; I took the medicine and went straight to sleep."
"I'll remember to tell you next time," she added after a moment. Last night, she hadn't actually had a fever.
After a simple lunch, the group noticed that the weather outside had cleared, with only a light drizzle left.
They had already been delayed here for two days.
Seeing that the weather was okay, they decided to set off.
They had been here for two days, and the frequency of zombies approaching had increased. Staying any longer wouldn't be safe, so it was better to hit the road.
Soon, three cars started and drove along the pre-planned route.
The previous storm had left many obstacles on the road. They ran over whatever the cars could crush and detoured around what they couldn't.
After driving for about an hour, the rain finally stopped.
Jiang Yuntan sat in the back, experimenting with her abilities, when she suddenly felt some bumps.
She asked, "Do you guys feel something bumping against our car?"
