The seven days of training soon ended, and during that time, Jiang Fu’s abilities fluctuated greatly, back and forth from C-grade to B-grade to A-grade, and once even hinted at a trend towards S-grade. But on the evening of the seventh day, his ability was tested still only at B-grade.
Jiang Fu was nagging at the promise he had made earlier, and had spent the entire day practicing his supernatural abilities as best he could. The excessive physical exertion caused his face to look a little pale and fine sweat droplets seeped out of his temples.
Yuan Chen grabbed his wrist with a cold face, forcibly pulling the man off the carpet.
“That’s it for today, no more use of supernatural powers.”
Jiang Fu sullenly drew back his hand, trying to prove it to Yuan Chen.
“I can really reach A grade, you know ah. Didn’t I succeed the day before yesterday? I will definitely be able to do it today too.”
“I know, so you won the wager.”
Yuan Chen’s accommodating attitude made Jiang Fu angry. He stared at Yuan Chen unhappily and stubbornly.
“No, it is only the test results on the seventh day that count, whether it can be done or not, I won’t cheat.”
Yuan Chen helplessly touched his cheek, his voice gentle and coaxing.
“En, you’re the most serious.”
After glancing at the clock on the wall, Jiang Fu sighed and poked Yuan Chen in frustration.
“If you say so, I will stop practicing. Itjust so happens that I’m tired and I want to eat meat tonight.”
“Fine, I’ll go order it.”
Yuan Chen laughed softly and petted him, scratched the tip of his nose, then lifted his feet and walked out.
The staff just happened to come in with new data to ask him about something related to it. Yuan Chen looked back at Jiang Fu, who was rolling around on the bed, hesitated and then shut the door, discussing the data with the staff as he headed for the door to Area 1.
Jiang Fu waited alone in his room for a while, but he was waiting for Yuan Chen to return. He jumped out of bed and ran to the door, propped his chin in front of the blue display and contemplated for a moment, then his fingers briskly entered a code on it.
Decoding wasn’t really his strong point, but he had somewhat learned a part of it from his genius cousin, and Yuan Chen usually didn’t purposely avoid him when entering commands, perhaps because he was certain he couldn’t understand it, or was deceived by his lazy appearance.
Jiang Fu didn’t really intend to go out, but was just bored so he decided to try it out, and a short while later, he heard the lock on the door click, and then the door cracked a little.
He tilted his head at the door for a moment and typed in diametrically opposite commands on the display, and the door snapped and locked quietly again.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
With a smug grin on his face, he jogged back to the bed and continued to wait for Yuan Chen.

He stared directly at the pretty young man in the single bed, his Adam’s apple rolling rapidly, and muttered something in a low voice.
“Smells good, smells good.”
Jiang Fu frowned slightly, the fingertips of his right hand quietly curled up, ready to release his supernatural powers. His face however displayed a friendly smile, the curved eyebrows and sweet dimples were non-offensive, and the clear, moist voice was nice.
“Hey, you haven’t answered me yet, that’s not polite, oh.”
Like a hungry beggar smelling the overflowing aroma of food, the teenager involuntarily took two steps towards him, constantly licking his dry lips and swallowing his saliva, a look of obsession on his face.
“It smells good…”
Jiang Fu swept a confused glance at the room where no food existed and couldn’t help but say.
“Are you hungry? There’s no food here, you’re in the wrong place.”
The teenager ignored the statement, compelled as he took a step towards him. Jiang Fu didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to have seen a pair of golden eyes in the teenager’s hanging bangs.
With his heart on guard, his right hand hidden behind him was attempting to conjure up an ice blade, his smile growing gentler as if he was completely unaware of the danger emanating from the young man.
“What do you want? Food? Or… Me?”
As soon as his words died down, the room’s loudspeakers suddenly blared with nervous and anxious yells.
“Level One Alert! Level 1 alert! There are a large number of zombies invading the base, all supernaturals will be released from the room, please do your best to use your powers to repel the zombies!”
With the repetition of the voice over the loudspeaker, the odd atmosphere in the room suddenly evaporated, replaced by an infected stare, the teenager stood still. The crazy stupefaction from just now had receded from him, he looked at Jiang Fu, then silently walked out of the room.
Jiang Fu hesitated for a moment and followed him out.
This was the first time he had left his room in Area 1, and not caring to check the situation around him, he followed the teenager closely to the entrance of the experimental building. The hurried-looking staff around him ran to the safety bunker under the experimental building with important equipment in their arms, while the supernaturals who had been released from the room leapt to follow him and the teenager out of the experimental building.
At the same time, pouring in from the outside, were a large number of disheveled civilians, who had no powers to fight the zombies and could only run towards the safety of the bunker as they had been told.
Jiang Fu struggled to squeeze through the crowd. The gray sky was dim, the dust of the battle could be faintly seen between the rows of bungalows, and the howls of the zombies outside the base’s fence sounded as if they had broken through the weak walls.
They quickly ran to the open field in front of the base, where some supernaturals were already gathered, each standing on the fence to repel the zombies with their supernatural powers.
Jiang Fu quickly scanned the circle, then ran to one of the fences, nimbly stepped on a stone mound and jumped onto the fence, and what caught his eyes was the horde of zombies that were pouring in from outside the fence, making him dizzy.
He tugged hard on the man next to him who was desperately shooting at the zombies with his gun, yelling at the top of his voice over the deafening noise.
“Zhou Zheng! Zhou Zheng! Where’s the gun?!”
Zhou Zheng, who had been tugged at several times before realizing it, looked down to see Jiang Fu and almost stumbled off the fence. His face changed and he yanked at Jiang Fu’s collar with one hand, gritting his teeth in a scorching yell.
“What the fuck are you doing out here?! Hurry back to the lab building!”
Jiang Fu just stuck close to his ear and continued to ask him loudly.
“Where’s the gun?! Give me a gun!”
The sound of thin breathing swept over his earlobes, and Zhou Zheng’s heart fluttered for a moment before he quickly controlled himself as this wasn’t the time to be thinking about nonsense.
He took a glance at the frantic swarm of zombies. His teeth clenched together, then he turned and sharply pulled out a hand rifle from his bag and threw it at Jiang Fu, glaring at him and shouting.
“You hide behind me and fight!”
Jiang Fu ignored him and took it, squatting steadily at a nearby spot and fired bullets at the zombies.
Zhou Zheng took a moment to glance at his skillful posture. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn’t have time to ask questions at all. He just killed the zombies in front of him while also incidentally clearing out the zombies within Jiang Fu’s range.
Raging fireballs, thunderbolts of lightning, and all sorts of abilities had wiped out most of the zombies outside the walls, but more and more zombies poured in and they had exhausted their strength. The sounds of firearms echoed as flashes of blasts appeared in the dark night sky, and there were zombies whose shredded flesh and broken arms exploded in the air and even splattered into the base.
Jiang Fu had used his supernatural energy excessively during the day, and didn’t dare to use it now. His palms were numb from the recoil of the gun. He tiredly put down the gun, and with a gloomy expression, swept a glance at the other supernatural powers who looked barely alive, thinking with his head down.
Zhou Zheng moved to his side, snatched the gun from his hand with a gasp, and snapped at him.
“You get down! Get someone else up here!”
Jiang Fu didn’t refuse, just asked him.
“Where is Yuan Chen?”
Zhou Zheng frowned for a moment, then answered him.
“He should be on the south side of the lab building.”
The base was laid out like an island, and the zombies attacked from all sides. The south side of the base was very close to the lab building, which could easily threaten the safety of the civilians in the lab building’s security cave, so most of the supernaturals were actually on this side guarding the security.
Jiang Fu saw Yuan Chen’s figure from a short distance away. His white lab coat was stained with blood and filth, he was still calmly residing at a safe height staring at the zombie herd’s actions. From time to time, he gave out instructions to the person next to him.
Sensing Jiang Fu’s line of sight, he (YC) turned his head slightly to the side, startled visibly, and then his face sank violently, pushing the person next to him away and striding over towards Jiang Fu.
“What are you doing here?! I’ll send someone to take you to the safety cave right away!”
Jiang Fu shook his head, his ebony eyes gleaming and burning with determination.
“I’m not leaving. I want to fight with you.”
Yuan Chen was startled, his eyes deepening, and after glancing silently at the fierce battle in the south, he tightened his brows and spoke in a deep voice.
“You must stay with me.”
“Okay.”
Yuan Chen grabbed his hand, his tight palm emitting a searing heat, imprisoning him tightly without allowing half a gap.
Jiang Fu followed him quickly, silently observing the battle for a while before suddenly asking.
“Are the zombies acting unconsciously, or are they being directed by someone?”
Yuan Chen was quickly ordering the people next to him to take out all the guns in the warehouse and replied to him without raising his head.
“The zombies are usually unconscious, but there seems to be a zombie king behind them, and all zombies follow his orders.”
“What would the walkers be attracted to? The smell of living people?”
“Exactly.”
Yuan Chen turned his head and looked at the white, creamy side of Jiang Fu’s face, who was in earnest contemplation, his ebony eyes shining with a shallow light, as if he was carefully planning something big.
A few seconds later, Jiang Fu asked thoughtfully again.
“What are the different departments in the base as of now?”
Yuan Chen wouldn’t waste his time on anything he found useless, but Jiang Fu’s serious questioning appearance made him unable to refuse, so he spoke quickly and briefly.
After listening, Jiang Fu didn’t speak for a while again, and Yuan Chen couldn’t help but ask with a frown.
“What’s wrong?”
Jiang Fu pursed his lips. The slightly curled corners of his lips overflowing with certainty and confidence, and the curved smile had a bit of cunning glint in it.
“If I said that there’s a way to get the base out of danger, would you believe me?”
Whoa! Jiang Fu, that’s risky! What if they think you are the one directing the zombies?!!?!
