Holding Their Own Space, the Family Returns to the Apocalypse

98: She also wanted the superpower to launch ranged attacks with a flick of her wrist.”What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and clean up these stinking house centipedes!” Ai Guosheng shouted dissatisfiedly when he saw everyone staring blankly at him and Li Shilan.

Yan Li said blankly, ”These aren’t house centipedes, they’re centipedes!”

Ai Guosheng’s eyes narrowed, and a cold aura rushed toward them.

The crowd, snapped back to their senses, quickly gripped their weapons and charged at the centipedes with renewed vigor; no one dared to say another word.

After Li Shilan’s Healing, the heavily injured soldiers were all restored to full health, their Superpowers were fully recovered, and they rejoined the battlefield.

The arrival of Ai Guosheng and his wife completely gave everyone hope of defeating the Ancient Centipede.

Only Gu Xiheng narrowed his eyes, wondering to himself how the two of them could have Superpowers, and such powerful ones at that.

Actually, it wasn’t hard to guess. Soon, Gu Xiheng figured out the key: Ai Yue had also been to Xusui Mountain. Since they could discover and find energy stones, then the mysterious Ai Yue could certainly find energy stones as well and bring them back for her parents to use!

”Ai Yue...” Gu Xiheng murmured to himself, a smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.

Cheng Siyu, who was closest to him, heard him clearly. Her expression immediately changed. Ai Yue, Ai Yue, Ai Yue again! She gave Ai Guosheng and Li Shilan an unfriendly look.

With the addition of the extremely powerful Ai Guosheng and his wife, the battle soon ended, and a thick layer of Ancient Centipede corpses covered the ground.

The endless centipedes stopped crawling out from underground, and the soldiers were all alive and well after Li Shilan’s Healing.

”Uncle Ai, Aunt Li, thank you both for your help today. If you have any needs in the future, we will certainly fulfill them,” Gu Xiheng said with a face full of gratitude.

Li Shilan didn’t want to speak and remained expressionless throughout. Ai Guosheng gave a chuckle. ”Don’t wait for the future, let’s do it now. I have a request right now.”

Gu Xiheng was taken aback. ”Oh? What request? Please speak freely, Uncle Ai.”

Ai Guosheng said without any politeness, ”I want those transparent stones inside the centipedes!”

Hearing this, the smile on Gu Xiheng’s face became a bit hard to maintain. The underground laboratory had been researching the transparent stones inside the Ancient Centipede but had gained nothing; however, anyone with eyes could tell that the transparent stones were good things.

Gu Xiheng quickly regained his smile. ”Uncle Ai, are these transparent stones something extraordinary? What exactly are they used for?”

Ai Guosheng snorted disdainfully in his heart. Trying to fish for information from me? Hmph!

”They aren’t useful for much, I just think they look nice and want to use them for decoration in the house. Look, when these stones are under the sunlight, they’re colorful and so pretty,” Ai Guosheng lied through his teeth.

”Is that so? They are indeed pretty!” Gu Xiheng said with an unchanging expression.

”Will you give me the stones?” Ai Guosheng asked again.

These were what Ai Yue urgently needed. He would give them to her when she returned, so she might lecture him less because of this.

Gu Xiheng immediately said, ”Of course, I’ll give them all to you. You saved everyone in the entire base just in time.”

”Alright, alright, don’t try to pin such a big label on me. You could have repelled these stinking house centipedes even without us. We didn’t do much, just added the finishing touch. Don’t go around talking nonsense,” Ai Guosheng said with a look of impatience.

Gu Xiheng instantly understood Ai Guosheng and his wife’s meaning; they didn’t want to stand out.

”Alright, Uncle Ai, Aunt Li, I understand. Rest assured, your lives will go on as usual, and no one will disturb you,” Gu Xiheng said.

Li Shilan clearly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his words. Ai Guosheng also said with a smile, ”Mm, Xiao Gu, you really are a good lad. Come over for a meal when you have time.”

”I definitely will!”

Having obtained the transparent stones he needed, Ai Guosheng pulled Li Shilan and went home, no longer caring about the messy battlefield.

--

”Young General, you’re giving all the transparent stones to them? That stuff...”

Gu Xiheng waved his hand to stop Yan Li’s next words. ”Don’t forget who just saved your life. They just want some transparent stones of unknown use; what’s there not to satisfy? Remember, you must never offend their family in the future, understand?”

Yan Li hurriedly said, ”Understood!”

Cheng Siyu’s heart was filled with mixed emotions. She really hadn’t expected that while Ai Yue herself was already very powerful, her parents were even more so. She really didn’t know what their background was.

What made her even more anxious was that Gu Xiheng seemed particularly interested in that woman, Ai Yue, which gave her, a confident beauty, a strong sense of crisis.

At this time, Ai Yue didn’t know where she had ended up. She roughly determined her position on the map and drove all the way in the direction of the Safety Tower.

The two sisters chatted casually on the road. ”Sister, there’s one thing I don’t understand. You see, the Superpowers that Uncle, Auntie, and I awakened are all very powerful, but you awakened your Superpower before us, so why is your Superpower just having great strength?”

Speaking of this made Ai Yue feel frustrated. She also wanted a Superpower that could launch ranged attacks with a flick of her hand, but no one knew why she had awakened great strength, which was a melee Superpower.

Logically, her Superpower was also quite heaven-defying, but it paled in comparison to Ai Guosheng and Ye Rui.

Perhaps it varied from person to person. She had violent and bloodthirsty factors in her body, so the ability she awakened was related to that? Who knew?

”Sister, do you think it’s possible for this Superpower to upgrade again?” Ye Rui continued to question.

Ai Yue’s heart stirred. Perhaps, like the space, it really could continue to upgrade, or she could awaken some other Superpower.

It was just that she didn’t know what the trigger point was.

”Perhaps. It’s just that I don’t know what method to use to upgrade.”

”Then let’s go to Xusui Mountain again and find another one of those black stones. Sister, try absorbing it again, and maybe you’ll get another Superpower.”

Ai Yue sighed inwardly. She had known when she absorbed the black stone that a person could only absorb this kind of black stone once in their life.

Ye Rui was a bit disappointed upon getting the answer. She had been thinking that as long as they absorbed enough black stones, her sister could become even more powerful.

She didn’t expect that everyone could only absorb it once, regardless of the amount.

Ai Yue rushed toward the base at full speed. After four days and four nights of driving at lightning speed, she finally arrived at Yingjin City.

Seeing the dense crowd of Ancient Centipede entrenched on the only path back to the Safety Tower, Ye Rui gasped, ”Sister, it looks like passing through here smoothly won’t be easy.”

Ai Yue handed the satellite phone to Ye Rui and asked her to call her parents to clarify the current situation at the base.

Ye Rui dialed the number, and it was picked up immediately. They told Ai Yue and Ye Rui that the base was currently safe, but the outside of the base was surrounded by Ancient Centipede.

Hearing this news, Ai Yue couldn’t help but pinch the bridge of her nose. This was going to be difficult!

”Sister, it looks like there’s no way for us to break through.” Ye Rui looked worried.

Ai Yue murmured, ”Unless someone meets us.” Ideally, if they were driving that marauder that originally belonged to her, there would still be a sliver of hope to break through.
