"I'm sorry, Miss Gu, I was just too happy and lost my composure." Chen Youyou apologized, scratching her head sheepishly, and then asked in a lowered voice.

"Miss Gu, I... I also want to awaken my superpowers, so I want to ask if it's possible to awaken superpowers simply by being bitten by a zombie and then absorbing its crystal core?"

When asked this question, Shang Xue also looked at Gu Xixi curiously, as if if Gu Xixi said yes, the two of them would immediately rush into the zombie horde to enjoy being torn apart by the zombies.

Gu Xixi immediately shook her head, "Of course not, Shang Yu just turned misfortune into blessing, he was just lucky."

The main reason is that he is a chosen one, and when it is time for him to awaken, he only needs a trigger. Being bitten by a zombie is the trigger, and maybe even tripping on the roadside is the trigger. This is something that ordinary people cannot compare to.

“If you get bitten by a zombie, you can awaken your superpowers by absorbing the zombie's crystal core. Humans should have awakened superpowers a long time ago, right?” Gu Xixi added, “Now that Shang Yu has awakened his superpowers, your survival is guaranteed. You don’t need to be afraid.”

From this perspective, they are very lucky, far exceeding the luck of most ordinary people.

Shang Xue nodded. That's right. Since the outbreak of the plague, they have survived until now thanks to her brother's repeated escapes from danger.

From now on, my brother will be able to protect everyone even better.

"That's true, but Brother Shang can't protect us all the time. I just think it would be better if we had the ability to protect ourselves."

Chen Youyou lowered her head in disappointment, then looked up again with a smile.

"By the way, Miss Gu, you haven't assigned us any work for today. What do we need to do today? We've already eaten breakfast, and lunch is coming up soon. I don't feel like eating if I'm not working."

That's quite ambitious...

Gu Xixi nodded, "Then come back to the supermarket with me. You can go and help Ran Qing and Zhao Jing."

After Gu Xixi finished speaking, she led her team back towards the supermarket, and Shang Xue and Chen Youyou followed Gu Xixi back.

Walking down the street, Chen Youyou looked at Gu Xixi with envy, "Miss Gu, you are so amazing. You are so strong at such a young age. I also hope that one day I can become as amazing as you."

Gu Xixi looked at her, and Chen Youyou added, "That way I can protect everyone too."

"Don't be envious, relax. What's meant to be will be, and what's not meant to be, you can't force. Maybe one day your wish will come true." Gu Xixi just smiled.

She could understand the desire for power and security that people had felt after struggling to survive in such times.

But it's true that not everyone can awaken superpowers...

"Okay, I understand." Chen Youyou nodded with a smile, her eyes revealing a pure heart. "Wow, Miss Gu, there are even more people queuing at the supermarket today than yesterday. I guess the people from Dongfeng Base got the news and came to buy things. Ran Qing and the others must be too busy. I'll go back and help out first."

After saying that, Chen Youyou ran back to the supermarket.

Back at the supermarket, Chen Youyou volunteered to go upstairs to organize the supplies dispensed by the delivery machine, neatly categorizing and piling them on the shelves.

Besides her, there were four other soldiers doing the same job on the second floor. Judging from their walking posture and physical condition, Chen Youyou thought they must be from the military and were just ordinary people without any special abilities.

Gu Xixi also seemed to be a trained martial artist, and appeared to have some special abilities, but they were different from Shang Yu's. This machine... Chen Youyou frowned. Perhaps the special thing about this Miss Gu was not her special abilities.

Instead, it was something else entirely, like this supermarket… a supermarket that suddenly appeared… These people treated her with respect and liking, but not with awe…

Chen Youyou's eyes lit up. What Gu Xixi possessed was a system, a cheat code!

So she suddenly appeared to continue human civilization! Because that's her mission. If Gu Xixi is the system owner, then all of this makes sense.

She lowered her head and continued working, huffing and puffing as she went. At lunchtime, Chen Youyou ran up to Gu Xixi again. "Miss Gu, Brother Shang is going to kill zombies this afternoon to practice his abilities. Let's go together. Brother Shang said you're also a martial arts expert. Could you teach me and Shang Xue a few self-defense moves?"

As she spoke, she tugged at Shang Xue's arm, and Shang Xue nodded in agreement. "Miss Gu, we're just worried about holding my brother back. If you're busy, you don't need to bother with us."

Chen Youyou seems to idolize this Miss Gu, always wanting to stick to her, and doesn't even look for her anymore... Shang Xue thought to herself.

The two girls looked at each other with longing and expectation. Gu Xixi softened. They were both girls, so she could help them out. "Okay, I'll go after my meeting."

The three commanders from Nanfeng Base, Dongfeng Base, and Beiying Base entered the supermarket. Gu Xixi looked away from Shang Xue and Chen Youyou and invited the three commanders upstairs.

It was also the first time Gu Xixi, the commander of the Dongfeng base, had met her. She was a shrewd-looking aunt who had been frowning and hadn't relaxed her brow.

"Have you all had lunch yet? I've taken the liberty of preparing a meal. If you haven't, we can eat and talk at the same time," Gu Xixi said with a smile, pointing to the food on the table.

The aroma wafted into everyone's noses in waves.

"I've been waiting for Miss Gu to say that. I deliberately didn't eat. Right now, only Miss Gu's place in the whole world has such food. How could we miss such a legitimate opportunity to freeload?"

Commander Mu spoke first, laughing incessantly, and the other two echoed him.

"Commander Mu has spoken our minds. Miss Gu, please don't blame us for eating so much later."

"Thank you, Miss Gu. By the way, Miss Gu, my name is Zhang Feng, and everyone calls me Aunt Feng."

……

We sat down in the restaurant on the third floor. The table had eight dishes and a soup, as well as an 8-inch animal cream cake covered with fresh cherries and strawberries.

The group couldn't wait to sit down, their impression of Gu Xixi's abilities being refreshed once again.

Gu Xixi sat down. "Please eat first."

The group didn't stand on ceremony; they tried to be polite and restrained, but they still devoured everything in a flash.

"I haven't seen a cake in eight years. I've been dreaming about this. And there's braised pork knuckle and seafood porridge. Miss Gu, you're eating so well. Thank you for coming."

“Miss Gu, we heard that you came here to help us continue human civilization. I want to continue human civilization. As the parties involved, all of us from the three bases cannot shirk our responsibilities. Therefore, the three of us agreed to come here together today, willing to form an alliance with Miss Gu and work together for the goal of continuing human civilization.”

“I agree. Miss Gu, you are our strong support. As long as we have enough to eat, we will do anything, including killing all the zombies and rebuilding our homes.”

……

Each person ate a bite and said a few words, all expressing their sincerity. After they were full, they put down their chopsticks, still wanting more, and looked at Gu Xixi solemnly.
