"Starry Sky Devour? What a nice name!" Chang Kai Tong agreed with Luo Luo.
"It sounds very powerful!" An Nuan also nodded excitedly.
In her previous life, her ability was invisibility, and because her level was too low, she could only remain invisible for half an hour at most. This ability seemed amazing, but it was actually useless.
Humans' body temperature is around 36°, while zombies' is generally around 15°. Most safe houses were later equipped with thermal and infrared systems, which detected body temperature. If she wanted to be invisible in a safe house, she would be detected everywhere unless she wore a thermal suit. Therefore, invisibility was useless inside safe houses.
In the outside world, zombies' vision was inherently weak, and they mostly relied on smell and hearing. An Nuan's ability was not very effective even among zombies. Every time they went out to search for supplies, she was part of the scouting team, and she received fewer supplies upon return. Due to her ability, both the mutant teams and the original humans treated her as an unofficial member.
But now, it was different. Her ability had changed!
"The name Starry Sky Devour was given by someone else. I've seen this ability user. She was at level five and directly devoured over three hundred zombies!"
"Three hundred? That's mass destruction!" Luo Luo's face contorted in fear. Something so ferocious, eliminating three hundred at once, was more powerful than a bomb!
Luo Luo asked curiously, "At level five, how many can Starry Sky Devour kill at most?"
"I'm not sure, but I heard she killed seven hundred."
Luo Luo gasped, and her eyes towards An Nuan changed. Chang Kai Tong's gaze also became a mixture of admiration and excitement.
An Nuan twisted her chest with her hands. There was something else she hadn't told them. Although the Starry Sky Devour ability was very strong, capable of killing many zombies, even humans, at once, it couldn't kill creatures exceeding her own level. For example, as a level two ability user, she couldn't devour a level three zombie and could only use other physical means to attack. Headshots were the most effective.
Moreover, abilities had their limits. In her previous life, Chang Kai Tong's was Thunderbolt Descent, while other lightning ability users could only perform different moves. It was hard to grasp without seeing it, but the difference was significant in practice. Precise strikes of cascading lightning were very different from throwing lightning bolts.
An Nuan didn't feel guilty about taking someone else's ability. She had obtained it through her own strength and luck. If they were capable, they could try to take it back! After all, they couldn't take it even if they ate her!
"Hehe, this is awesome!" An Nuan collapsed on the sofa, giggling, her legs kicking playfully. Chang Kai Tong's face turned red again.
The room lights suddenly turned red, and a piercing warning sound came from the computer. Then, an image of a large hand crushing a pair of eyeballs appeared.
"Tch, childish!" An Nuan stood up, wrapped herself in a towel blanket, and went to find clothes to wear. The information from Black Smoke had allowed the three of them to successfully advance and had helped her snatch Starry Sky Devour. Regardless of who Black Smoke was, they were now in a behind-the-scenes information role. The smartest approach now was to cooperate with Black Smoke and follow their instructions. Taking it one step at a time and maximizing benefits was the most rational strategy.
An Nuan put on a light purple yoga suit. The sports bra revealed her waistline and outlined her perfect bust. Luo Luo even commented on her figure.
Just then, the phone rang. There was still electricity and the internet was not down, so a phone call was normal. However, she didn't expect the caller to be him!
"Hello, Second Uncle, it's rare for you to call me."
"Xiao Nuan, we're family, so I won't beat around the bush. You've stockpiled a lot of food and daily necessities, right?" An Nuan sneered. She had anticipated that An Dong would investigate her, so she wasn't planning to hide anything. But An Dong wasn't Black Smoke; he couldn't obtain all the information.
"Don't just stay silent!" An Dong said urgently, "I know you planned to start a company before and acquired a lot of goods. I want to discuss with you about giving me half... no, one-third. I'll pay for it!"
"Are you starving, Second Uncle? It's so hot in there, and you must be short of water, right?"
"You..."
"Did I guess right and you're embarrassed? Then come out! The heavy rain outside has stopped. You can come out and buy food."
An Dong's face turned dark with anger. If he could go out, he would have left already. What was he doing wasting his breath here! His office had surveillance. He had noticed some people acting strangely yesterday, and today he was terrified! Real cannibalism, blood flying everywhere like free paint. An Dong really didn't have the courage to go in.
However, he had already hired a helicopter at a high price to rescue him. Waiting in the building before leaving was boring, and it would be good to get his hands on that brat's supplies!
"Xiao Nuan, your money was given by me, how can you treat me like this?"
"You gave it? I remember it was a cash-and-carry deal, sold to you at a bargain price, Second Uncle. Don't act like a victim after profiting!"
"How can you talk to an elder like this? Don't forget, your supplies were also bought with my money! Don't be ungrateful."
"Exactly, without our money, could you be so carefree?" A woman's voice also came from the phone. An Nuan recognized it as Xie Xinxin, An Dong's wife. Xie Xinxin had always been sarcastic towards her before. When she was pushed into a horde of zombies, Xie Xinxin even bet 20 bottles of water that she wouldn't last five minutes. An Nuan still remembered how ugly Xie Xinxin's face looked then.
An Nuan smiled. "Second Aunt, don't get angry. How about this, I'll come over to your place and we can talk. It's hard to explain everything over the phone. It's better to talk face-to-face."
"Good! I'm in the CEO's office at An Xin Building. You know how to get here, right?"
"I know. I'll be there shortly." An Nuan hung up the phone and immediately rolled her eyes 180 degrees. That office used to be hers. How could An Nuan not know? How ridiculous.
"Luo Luo, I'm going to An Xin Building. You and brother wait for me at home."
"No!" Both of them objected simultaneously.
Luo Luo: "There are so many zombies in An Xin Building. How can you handle them alone?"
Chang Kai Tong: "Sister Luo is right. We should go with you. More people means more help!"
"An Dong is calling me over there, so he must have a backup plan. He has surveillance in the office, so he definitely knows the situation in the building."
"Xiao Nuan, what are you planning to do?" An Nuan pouted. Luo Luo knew exactly what kind of scheme she was hatching. Because she understood her so well, Luo Luo realized this little girl had no good intentions!
"An Dong has definitely arranged for a helicopter. If I die after entering the building, he, as my only relative, will have inheritance rights."
"If I don't die, he can also use his numbers to control me and force me to hand over my supplies. But... he's too naive!" She was no longer the An Nuan of the past. None of An Dong's schemes would succeed!
