When a Blade of Grass Wants to Become Immortal

Chapter 126: Chapter 125: The Apocalypse Big Boss Arrives 2

The members of the Zhou Family had fled the moment Ji Xiaosong made her move, leaving Zhou Ziheng isolated and helpless in the banquet hall.

”I... I won’t let you get away with this!”

Ji Youshu glanced at Ji Xiaosong, his expression questioning.

Cut the grass but leave the roots, and the spring winds will bring it back to life.

Ji Xiaosong sent a mental message directly to Ji Youshu. ”Brother, lock him and Lin Miaomiao in the basement. I have something more important to tell you all.”

Though he didn’t know what Ji Xiaosong was going to say, he obeyed instinctively.

’If it was something his sister wanted, he would do it.’

Ji Youshu moved quickly, dragging Zhou Ziheng and Lin Miaomiao off to the basement.

When he returned, the family sat down together, and only then did Ji Xiaosong speak. ”Mom, Dad, Brother... I was just reborn.”

’The apocalypse is coming,’ Ji Xiaosong thought. ’There’s no time to waste. I need to get everything sorted out right now.’

Although Ji Chengguang and Ji Youshu were shocked, they quickly composed themselves.

This was especially true for Song Ya. As she looked at her daughter now, she had already guessed a great deal.

”Song, tell me... what happened in your past life?”

”Mom, Dad, Brother, in twenty-three hours, a downpour of acid rain will trigger the apocalypse. Anyone touched by the rain will turn into a zombie. In my past life, because I drank the poisoned wine Lin Miaomiao gave me today, I became a zombie right at the start. After that, my soul could only watch as Lin Miaomiao and Zhou Ziheng fought their way to the top. And you... you never gave up trying to turn me back, but in the end, you were killed by them.”

Ji Youshu, a fan of sci-fi movies, immediately grew excited at the mention of an apocalypse.

”So, does that mean we’ll get superpowers?”

Song Ya smacked Ji Youshu. ”Let your sister finish. Don’t interrupt.”

Time was short; there was none to waste.

”You, Mom, and Dad all had superpowers, but that was in my past life. I don’t know if it will be the same this time around. Brother, you’re Earth Element; Dad is Fire Element; and Mom is Water Element.”

As Ji Chengguang listened to Ji Xiaosong, he began to formulate a plan.

”Song, now that you’ve been reborn, do you have any special abilities?”

Ji Xiaosong thought for a moment and decided to tell them about the personal dimension she possessed.

’With a pocket dimension where they could grow crops, her family could live comfortably even in the apocalypse. She couldn’t afford to sell herself short.’

’And in her past life, this family had never given up on her, even after she’d spent ten years as a zombie. It proved how much they truly loved her.’

”I have a personal dimension, roughly the size of Chenming City, and I can grow crops inside it. In my past life, I turned into a zombie right at the beginning of the apocalypse, so I never got the chance to awaken a superpower. But this life is different. Just a moment ago, I sensed that I might possess both Ice and Wood Abilities. As for the three of you, your superpowers haven’t been triggered yet. You’ll have to wait for the acid rain to stop and endure a 24-hour high fever before you have a chance of awakening a Basic-level Superpower.”

At the mention of the dimension, both Ji Chengguang and Song Ya breathed a sigh of relief.

”In that case, Song, you and your mother will go to the seed and plant nurseries. Buy up every seed and seedling you possibly can. I’ll go buy a sturdy RV. As for you, Youshu, go buy some weapons. We need to be fast. Don’t waste a second.”

After speaking, Ji Chengguang suddenly thought of something else. ”Song, I’m going to contact the national authorities right now. The higher-ups need to know about this. It’s the only way more people in our country will survive.”

”Okay, Dad. You two should go quickly.”

As the richest man in Chenming City, it was perfectly normal for Ji Chengguang to know people in high places.

Once Ji Chengguang and Ji Youshu had driven off, Ji Xiaosong said to Song Ya, ”Mom, you go to the wholesale seed market first. I’ll take care of a few things here and be right over.”

”Alright. It would be best not to leave those two in the basement. If the apocalypse truly arrives, order is bound to collapse. If they decide they want revenge on you, it would be incredibly dangerous.”

”I know, Mom.”

After Song Ya drove off, Ji Xiaosong made her way to the basement.

Before entering, she first confirmed something with Rongrong.

”This world is... special. Is it okay for me to take a life?”

”Yes, Song. The order of the world will be chaotic during the apocalypse, so there are no consequences for such actions. Also, your Ice and Wood Abilities are already at their Full Level. That should prevent you from encountering any danger you can’t handle.”

With Rongrong’s assurance, Ji Xiaosong entered the basement without a shred of guilt.

The moment she saw Lin Miaomiao and Zhou Ziheng, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

With a wave of her hands, the temperature in the basement plummeted. She unleashed her Ice Ability at full power, and the surrounding walls were instantly coated in a thick layer of ice.

Before Zhou Ziheng could even react, countless sharp ice spikes shot toward them from all directions.

The ice spikes were incredibly fast, whistling through the air as they pierced through both of their bodies in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Ziheng’s eyes widened in horror. He tried to open his mouth to scream for help, but before any sound could escape, an ice spike shot straight through his throat.

At the same time, with a mere thought from Ji Xiaosong, her Wood Ability activated.

Countless tough vines shot up from the ground like agile pythons, instantly coiling tightly around Lin Miaomiao and Zhou Ziheng.

The vines constricted ever tighter, twisting their bodies into unnatural shapes as the sound of snapping bones went CRACK, CRACK.

Under the dual assault of ice spikes and vines, the bodies of Lin Miaomiao and Zhou Ziheng were quickly riddled with holes. Blood gushed from their wounds, and soon, they breathed their last.

Then, Ji Xiaosong channeled her Spiritual Power again. Raging flames erupted from the vines, instantly engulfing the two corpses.

In the blink of an eye, all that remained in the basement was a pool of blood and a pile of ashes. Lin Miaomiao and Zhou Ziheng had been utterly annihilated, unable to leave behind even a single last word.

Seeing the mess in the basement, Ji Xiaosong frowned and used a Cleaning Technique.

Having eliminated two of her future enemies, Ji Xiaosong turned and left the basement.

Song Ya hadn’t left yet. She was sitting in the SUV in the garage.

”Song, is it finished?”

”Yes.”

”Let’s go.”

「Five hours later.」

The entire family had returned home.

By then, the government’s response had been swift. Everyone suddenly received a text message:

[URGENT NOTICE

Attention all citizens! Extremely hazardous weather is expected in 20 hours. Upon receiving this notice, please cease all activities immediately, return home, and secure all doors and windows.

It is strictly forbidden to go outside during this period of extreme weather. At the same time, do not use any open water sources to prevent health risks.

The government will release updates through official channels. All information should be taken from these official sources. Do not believe or spread rumors that may cause panic.

We urge everyone to take this seriously and cooperate fully so we may overcome this crisis together!]

「Three hours later.」

The streets were almost completely deserted. Civilian vehicles were no longer permitted on the roads; only military and police trucks could be seen driving.

All hospitals nationwide were simultaneously put on high alert. They had also quickly cleared out special wards to accommodate anyone who developed a fever.

With fifteen hours to go before the apocalypse, there was a knock on Ji Xiaosong’s door.
