Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Xie Feiyu took a long time to calm himself down before turning to Shen Zechuan: "Brother Shen, tell me, where exactly was my sister's necklace found? Is she already...?"

As he spoke, Xie Feiyu nearly choked up, unable to utter the last few words.

His mother passed away early, and his father worked away from home for many years. He could be said to have been both an older brother and a mother to his younger sister since she was a child.

She's called a younger sister, but she's more like a daughter.

During the years I served in the army, I would take every opportunity to call home to my younger sister, fearing that she might be bullied at school.

Shen Zechuan shook his head: "Your sister should not be in any immediate danger."

Upon hearing this, Xie Feiyu breathed a sigh of relief, but Shen Zechuan's next words made his heart clench as if it had been gripped.

"Didn't something happen to the team leader yesterday? We went over to see what was going on, but when we left, we saw the team leader sneaking out of the family compound, avoiding everyone. We didn't think much of it and just left."

But my cousin, being very curious, followed him out of curiosity. He led him to the backstreets of the red-light district and into a guarded building. Inside, he saw a little girl being held captive; this necklace was the one she gave to my cousin…”

Upon hearing this, Xie Feiyu couldn't accept Shen Zechuan's words at all and interrupted him directly: "Wait a minute, you mean, Xing Tian imprisoned my sister?! How is that possible?!"

After asking the question, she quickly realized something was off about Shen Zechuan's words and pressed on, "Wait, didn't you say your cousin was an ordinary person? How come he's been following Xing Tian without being discovered?"

Seeing that Xie Feiyu didn't quite believe him, Shen Zechuan explained, "Cui Ze is actually a superhuman, but his superpower is quite special—invisibility. As long as he doesn't actively reveal himself, no one can find him. I was afraid he would get into unnecessary trouble, so I had him pretend to be an ordinary person. I'm really sorry about that."

Upon hearing about the invisibility ability, Xie Feiyu glanced at Cui Ze with slight surprise. In all the time since the apocalypse, this was the first time he had ever heard of such an ability.

However, he soon came to terms with it, since there are all sorts of other superpowers out there, and he understood why the other person didn't want others to know about their abilities.

The ability to become invisible is fine if used for one's own benefit, but if it falls into the hands of the enemy, then no secret can be kept.

If he knew there was such a superhuman in the base, he would definitely keep a close eye on him 24 hours a day.

“Okay, I understand. But you're saying my best brother imprisoned my sister? That's impossible! My sister is just an ordinary person! What would he do with her?”

Xie Feiyu couldn't understand why Xing Tian wanted to hide his sister.

What use is an ordinary little girl to Xing Tian? Besides, Xing Tian has always treated Weiwei like his own younger sister.

When Weiwei went missing, he was just as anxious as I was, and we practically dug up the entire base together to search for her.

Therefore, he never connected Xing Tian and his sister's disappearance.

Shen Zechuan looked up at him: "What if she isn't?"

Xie Feiyu didn't react for a moment: "What?"

So Shen Zechuan repeated himself, even making it a little clearer: "What if your sister isn't an ordinary person?"

Xie Feiyu looked incredulous: "How is that possible?"

"Why is it impossible? After the apocalypse, the awakening time of everyone's superpowers is not fixed. Some special superpowers awaken in ways that are sometimes difficult even for the superpowered person to detect..."

Shen Zechuan stopped there, leaving the rest for Xie Feiyu to think about.

"You mean my sister awakened a special ability, but we didn't notice, while Xing Tian did, so he secretly imprisoned her?"

Xie Feiyu pondered Shen Zechuan's words for a while before remembering that his sister had been having frequent nightmares since the escape. However, at the time, he was focused on defending against zombies and escaping, and assumed that she was just scared. He didn't even have time to listen to what specific nightmares she was having.

Most of the time, it was Xing Tian who patiently coaxed his younger sister when he had some free time...

Is that why...?

Thinking of this, Xie Feiyu felt a chill run down his spine and really wanted to slap himself hard.

Shen Zechuan, who was standing to the side, did not answer directly, but only said:

"Whether it is or not, we'll find out now when we go see for ourselves. As for why he imprisoned your sister, you can ask her directly when the time comes. Right now, Xing Tian is taking a few women to the no-man's land to identify corpses, so he definitely can't manage the red-light district. Now is the best time for us to go."

Xie Feiyu clenched his fist and nodded: "Okay! I'll call a few trustworthy subordinates, and we'll head over now."

He immediately got up and went to call over a few trusted subordinates.

A few minutes later, the group left the villa, got into their car, and headed straight for the red-light district.

If it weren't for the fact that there were people collecting water and water storage containers everywhere in the base, Xie Feiyu would have loved to floor the accelerator.

A dozen minutes later, the group finally arrived at the end of the red-light district and followed Shen Zechuan's car to the eerie little building that looked like no one lived there.

Because of the heavy rain, the guards inside the building were probably all huddled up inside; there wasn't a single person to be seen at the entrance.

This actually made it easier for Shen Zechuan and his team to move around.

The group got out of the car and immediately rushed into the small building.

The guards inside had started drinking and playing cards when they saw the heavy rain outside. They were arguing about who had won or lost the game and didn't hear anything outside. By the time they saw a group of people rush in and tried to draw their guns, the gun barrels were already pressed against their heads.

A group of people froze in place, afraid to move.

When Xie Feiyu walked out from behind and stood in front of them, several of them were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, their bodies trembling.

Xie Feiyu looked at the people in front of him and sized them up for a while. He found that some of them looked familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered that they had appeared by Xing Tian's side before, but he had never seen them again. He heard that they had sacrificed themselves when they went out with Xing Tian. He didn't expect that they were hiding here.

At this moment, Xie Feiyu truly believed Shen Zechuan's words.

He should also re-evaluate Xing Tian, ​​this so-called good brother.

But he didn't have time to worry about that right now, and turned around to ask Cui Ze directly: "Where is my sister being held?"

Cui Ze pointed to the direction of the stairwell at the back of the building: "Under the stairs over there, there's an underground entrance covered by a carpet. But there's a locked iron door inside, which requires a key. Oh, I saw that the key is on these people too."

Xie Feiyu nodded, and then had his men search those people. They quickly found the key.
