Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Seductive Beauty Captivates a Pure-hearted Roughneck

58: Chapter 58 If I’m not allowed to go, Ningning won’t go either.Lu Chengyue’s fingers moved rapidly, ”Because you are my girlfriend.”

Xu Wanning stared at the word ’girlfriend’ for a while, hehe, ”A-Yue, you are becoming less and less shy.”

She held her phone, feeling the thumping in her chest, the corners of her mouth curling upward continuously.

”The station master received news today and already told us. We have many missions ahead, so I might not be able to reply to messages in a timely manner. You can send them to me whenever you want; I will reply immediately when I can check my phone.”

When Lu Chengyue’s message came through, Xu Wanning finally restrained her smile, ”Okay, you must stay safe.”

”Rest assured, I will.”

”Ningning, it’s time, hurry up!” Wen Shuyang’s voice came from outside.

”Coming!” After shouting back, Xu Wanning quickly sent another message to Lu Chengyue, ”I’m going to practice sword fighting.”

”Okay.” Lu Chengyue replied before she left the room.

After sword practice, Xu Wanning returned to her room to cool down. Feeling bored, she took a novel out of her Space to pass the time.

As soon as she took the novel out, she felt her Space suddenly vibrate, and a wave of dizziness washed over her.

She was all too familiar with this feeling; it was a sign that her Space was upgrading.

The corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curl up. This was great! Perhaps she had been using her Space too frequently lately, which triggered the upgrade. It was currently 400 square meters, and after the upgrade, it would be 800 square meters. Haha ^_^

She fought the urge to vomit, forced herself to breathe deeply, and after persisting for three minutes, the dizziness disappeared.

The Space had expanded, and the supplies inside only occupied half the space. It seemed she could collect more supplies to put into the Space.

She quickly went to the warehouse to collect food and store it in the Space; as long as it was inside the Space, it wouldn’t expire.

In the end, 200 square meters were left in the Space. She planned to go hoard some prepared boxed lunches, rice noodles, spicy hot pot, soy milk, and fried dough sticks tomorrow.

At eight in the evening, an unexpected person arrived. Lu Zhiyu went to open the door and was stunned to see Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan. ”You, why are you here?” She blushed.

Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan’s face was also very red. ”I’m here to look for Xu Wanning. Is she here?”

Lu Zhiyu blankly made way for him at the door. ”She is. Come in, I’ll go call her.”

Turning back, she felt a bit annoyed. She had thought he came to see her, but it turned out he didn’t. Sigh, she had been wishful thinking.

She had clearly been using the methods Ningning used to flirt with her brother to flirt with him over the past few days, so why hadn’t there been any progress? Sigh.

Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan stared blankly at Lu Zhiyu’s back, his fingers subconsciously rubbing against the seam of his trousers.

Lu Zhiyu knocked on Xu Wanning’s door. ”Ningning, Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan is here to see you. Is it about The Apocalypse, perhaps?”

”Coming.” She was a bit puzzled. The Great Leader probably wouldn’t talk about her affairs to others casually, right? Wouldn’t that put her in danger? What if some powerful people decided to imprison her?

The two arrived in the courtyard. Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan was still standing in the same spot. Seeing Xu Wanning, he nodded slightly. ”Miss Xu, I am Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan. The Great Leader sent me to find you to request support.”

”Hmm?” Xu Wanning was stunned. ”Support with what?” She didn’t seem to be able to help with much, right?

Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan was very respectful. ”The higher-ups have decided to carry out a large-scale transfer of supplies, but using large trucks too frequently is likely to attract the attention of the public. Furthermore, it takes too long, so we would like to ask for Miss Xu’s help in transferring the supplies.”

”My Space only has 20,000 cubic meters. Is that okay?” She hadn’t told the leader how big her Space was before, so saying anything now wouldn’t be a mistake.

Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan looked at her apologetically. ”A D-rank Space is already very impressive; it’s enough. We decided to transfer them tonight, so...”

”That’s fine. Let me go put on a jacket.”

Xu Wanning turned and headed toward her room. She had a secret she hadn’t told anyone yet: she could enter her Space.

Moreover, once inside, she could teleport according to her will. This was space teleportation, with a range of only 10 meters, but it was enough to escape when encountering danger. It had a cooldown time of half an hour.

This was her means of self-preservation, and she didn’t intend to tell anyone. In her past life, she hadn’t heard of any Space Ability users mentioning this ability; perhaps everyone just kept it to themselves.

As soon as Xu Wanning entered the room, Lu Zhiyu quickly looked at Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan. ”Can I accompany Ningning?”

She was worried. She was afraid that they wanted to take Ningning to the Research Institute to be dissected and studied to find out how to obtain Supernatural ability. If that really happened, she would protect Ningning with her life, even if it meant her own death.

Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan looked down at her with deep eyes. ”Rest assured, Xiao Yu, I will look after her well and won’t let anything happen to her. I swear with my life that I will bring her back safely.”

Lu Zhiyu still wasn’t reassured. ”I must go. If you don’t let me go, then Ningning won’t go either.”

Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He had thought Lu Zhiyu would trust him, but it turned out he had thought too much. ”Fine, then come along.”

”This old man is going too.” Grandpa Zhou, who had been listening for who knows how long, suddenly walked out.

Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan was stunned when he saw Grandpa Zhou. ”Grandpa Zhou, why are you here?”

Grandpa Zhou stroked his beard. ”Cheng family boy, this is your Grandpa Zhou’s home. Why can’t I be here?”

Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan was shocked; he couldn’t figure out how they had all come together.

He had only been here when he was a child, no wonder it looked quite familiar. He had thought all the houses around here looked the same. ”Of course, if Grandpa Zhou wants to go, that’s fine.”

Grandpa Zhou had high combat ability; he had even received guidance from Grandpa Zhou when he was a child. He hadn’t expected The Great Leader to value Xu Wanning so much, sending such an expert to protect her.

”Let’s go.” Xu Wanning came out. She had just sent a message to Lu Chengyue, telling him she was being taken away by Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan to help out.

Lu Chengyue didn’t reply; he must be busy.

With Grandpa Zhou there, Lu Zhiyu didn’t go. Her combat ability wasn’t high, and going would just be a burden.

The group went out and got into Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan’s car, driving in a direction Xu Wanning had never been before.

”Where are we going?” Grandpa Zhou looked at Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan.

”The Grain Depot.” Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan kept his eyes on the road ahead. ”The leader said that no one knows how strong the corrosiveness of the Acid Rain is. Although the Grain Depot has high corrosion resistance, it’s still not guaranteed.”

”Therefore, it was decided to continue reinforcing the area around the Grain Depot, using entirely corrosion-resistant materials. It’s needed very urgently, so we would like to ask for Miss Xu’s help in transporting the materials.”

Their construction speed was impeccable; as long as the materials were in place, there would be no problem.

When they arrived at the Grain Depot, as soon as they got out of the car, The Great Leader brought people to welcome them. ”Nickname, we need your help.”

”Hmm.” Xu Wanning nodded. Looking at the rows of grain silos standing there, she only felt at ease. The country would always have abundant food reserves. ”Where are we going to collect the materials?”

The leader smiled with relief. ”This is Uncle Zhang. Later, Uncle Zhang will secretly take you there and will definitely ensure your safety.”

”Okay.” Xu Wanning transferred to another car, escorted by Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan. Grandpa Zhou was also sitting in Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan’s car.

The car drove in another direction. It took almost an hour to arrive. This place looked like some kind of Research Institute; inside, there were large factory buildings, more than one.
