To Xu Nuan's surprise the expected attack didn't come. So, she looked up and saw the zombie falling down with an ice blade pierced in his forehead.
'This power surely!!' As Xu Nuan thought she looked back at Yu ze and saw him standing on the place rooted looking stunned.
Xu Nuan smirked 'It's really him' as Xu Nuan thought she reminded both of them to not remain stunned and deal with the zombies first.
As soon as zombies were dealt with Yu ze rushed towards Xu Nuan looking all excited. Yu Ziye also followed him.
"Sister look!! I also have powers!!" Yu ze said with flushed face.
"Well congratulations for activating ability" Xu Nuan nodded at him and then looked at Yu ziye.
"Are you injured??" Xu Nuan asked with doubtful tone. She saw him lumping behind Yu ze. If you don't observe carefully, you wouldn't have noticed.
Yu ziye froze and smile faded of his face. Yu ze looked back at Yu ziye worriedly.
"Brother what happened?? How did you get injured?? Does it hurt?? Let me see" Yu ze fired continuous questions at Yu ziye.
"It's nothing brother" said Yu ziye as his face looked uglier than crying.
"Don't scare brother, okay? Tell me what happened??" Asked Yu ze in panicked tone as he started looking up and down at Yu ziye.
"Yu ziye, turn around" demanded Xu Nuan.
Yu ziye bit his lower lip but still turned around. On his left leg, below the thigh there was a deep wound. It looked like being scratch by nail.
Yu ze's pupil dilated and his voice trembled. "Th..this bro.. brother" He stuttered but still couldn't utter the word.
Yu ziye turned to look at Yu ze. "Its okay brother don't...don't be scared. In..in fact it's good now. I..I have been burdening you since the starting. If..If I turned into zombie then you..you won't have to always keep looking out for my safety. Yo..you live happily" said yu ziye and tears began to fall from his eyes.
"What nonsense are you uttering Yu ziye!! Shut up if you don't know to speak" shouted Yu ze at Yu ziye angrily. His eyes turned red.
"Both of you calm down first. Let's find place to rest first and then talk. He won't turned into zombie that quickly" Three of them were standing in the middle of the road.
As Xu Nuan said that she walked towards gasoline station. Both of them followed behind Xu Nuan with red eyes.
"System, can you scan the Yu ziye's body and tell if he can overcome the virus??" Xu Nuan knows that in some situations a person can overcome the virus and activate the ability. But as per the original owners memories at least in first five days of the apocalypse no one had that resistance towards virus so most of those who got bitten or scratched turned into zombies.
(Yes host I can scan. 50,000 points will be deducted after scanning. Should I proceed?)
'Half of her wealth huh??' thought Xu Nuan but still chose to proceed.
(Host, scan completed. It's detected that yu ziye has some resistance to virus. But he will be able to fight for at most 24 hours after that he will turn into zombie.)
Xu Nuan's eyes darkened. 'Its me who invited them to join the team. So, it's my responsibility to protect them' thought Xu Nuan.
(System do you know any method by which I can cure Yu ziye??)
(Host, there is one pill which can increase the resistance of the person by sixty percent and that would be enough to save Yu ziye)
'Okay then. I would like to purchase' said Xu Nuan as her heart lightened.
(Host that..It's not easy. It's the pill at level ten. We can't get access to it without any sacrifice)
'Okay then tell me what will I have to do?' asked Xu Nuan in a determined tone.
(Host you will have to level up to second level where the system will gift you ten lotteries package, you can exchange that for the pill.)
'How do I level up to second level?? Should I collect more gold??' enquired Xu Nuan
(No host. For levelling up you need to have fifty percent points by completing tasks and rest fifty percent can be substituted for the gold and jades or other jewelries. If gold and jade's points exceed by fifty percent then those can be used for purchasing items from the system, same goes for tasks points)
Xu Nuan frowned. 'Then assign me the tasks which can help me collect remaining fifty percent points.'
(It's not an easy task host) Warned system.
'Its okay, if I can't even save my teammates then what's the use of this power' said Xu Nuan.
(Here's the task
Task: Defeat 200 mutated trees with crystal core.
Time Limit: 24 hours)
'Mutated trees' Xu Nuan frowned. As you may not know, mutated trees are a bit stronger than zombies in the initial stage and also a bit tricky to defeat. Even though Xu Nuan is powerful but power is exhaustible. Defeating 200 mutated trees in 24 hours is almost an impossible task.
(Host, With the zombies you have killed today you have collected many crystal nucleus. You can practice with those. You will at least stand fifty percent chance of winning against them) System reminded.
Xu Nuan's eyes lit up. 'Right, I will first level up to second level. Then it would be bit easy'
After finding the solution Xu Nuan looked at the two brothers who were sitting down quietly without uttering a word, looking lifeless.
"Both of you I will be back in few minutes. Let's go to my villa. Don't worry, if I have taken responsibility of both of you. I will definitely not let any one of you die." Said Xu Nuan as she patted Yu ze's shoulder and walked out.
"See, sister says that you can still be saved. Don't loose hopes okay?? Brother is here for you. We will definitely find solution! Brother won't let you turn into zombie" said Yu ze as he embraced his little brother. His tone was desperate and filled with remorse.
Yu ziye struggled in his embrace to free himself as not to harm his brother if he looses his consciousness. But he couldn't bring himself to loose that warmth. He silently cried in his brother embrace.
It was almost night. Sky has started to darken. Xu Nuan entered the backend of the gasoline station and collect the gasoline. Then with both brothers she drew towards her villa. The mood was solemn in the car. Yu ziye has started to develop the fever. He was restless and was turning and twisting.
As Xu Nuan came in her locality, she saw some people standing in front of her villa. Her mood which was already worse, worsened further.
Xu Nuan stopped at the distance, rolled down the window and glanced at those people gloomily. They felt chilled run down their spine.
"This b*tch!! How dare you glare at us?? See how we deal with you today!! Quickly handover the villa to us or you will have to bear the consequences." Said one of them angrily
"Oh, such a tender and seductive face. Quickly submit to this brother. I will generously make you my girlfriend and let you live freely" said a other man with lewd face.
"You brought this upon yourself" said Xu Nuan as she unleashed her space blade. Before that man could understand the meaning of her words his head rolled down on the street and his body fell down with thud.
A silent resonated in the place. Others face turned paled and they quickly recreated.
Xu Nuan didn't bothered with them now. She hurriedly opened the gate and entered inside. She parked the car in front of the villa "Quickly take him inside and use salt water to rub his face with wet cloth" said Xu Nuan.
"I will be going out now. Both of you rest. Don't worry, I will definitely save Yu ziye trust me" said Xu Nuan as she looked at Yu ze.
Yu ze's eyes redden. He was really grateful that he followed Xu Nuan. How many people would be willing to take responsibility for their teammates in this chaotic era?? But she did. He didn't blame Xu Nuan for making his brother fight. Because if his brother doesn't fight then sooner or later situation would be worse than this.
"Sister don't risk yourself for me. It...it's okay if I don't survive" said Yu ziye with bit of consciousness that he had and fainted.
"Don't worry, sister will definitely save you little one" said Xu Nuan as she ordered Yu ze to take Yu ziye inside.
"Be careful sister" said Yu ze worriedly and ran inside with his brother.
Xu Nuan drove car out of the villa.
(23 hours remaining for task completion) Reminded system.
Xu Nuan kicked the accelerator and rushed towards the outskirts of the city. There is the big forest, where she will be able to complete her task. Lot more riskier than finding trees one by one but time saving.
As Xu Nuan drove she killed the zombies in the way. Side by side collected crystal nucleus with mental power. After 3 hours of killing and driving Xu Nuan finally reached the outskirts of the city.
There were not many zombies here but if you look deep into the forest that was ahead you will feel gloomy atmosphere.
Xu Nuan existed the car dealt with the zombies nearby. Took the car into space.
Xu Nuan herself flashed into space. She has exhausted her powers on the way. Using powers to extreme is also the way of strengthening your body and powers. Now Xu Nuan started absorbing crystal nucleus. She kept Yu ze and Yu ziye's share aside and started absorbing her share.
After two days in the space, she finally broke through first level and advanced to second level. After stabilising her powers, she flashed out of the space.
