Soon, Su Su knew what happened. After passing a few checkpoints in a row, her car was stopped by Ye Yu. That’s right, it was Ye Yu again!
“Hi!”
Ye Yu stood under the sun and raised his hand to greet Su Su with a smile. There was a new checkpoint behind him. Obviously, he was not guarding the checkpoint here because of the clothes he was wearing was different from others. He had received a message and rushed here to stop Su Su. Ye Yu was wearing black and green bulletproof equipment, and there was a small communicator on his ear. He also had an iron helmet on his head, and there must be two daggers in the military boots on his feet!
Su Su stopped the car and rolled down the window. When Ye Yu came closer, he put his hands on the roof of the car and bent slightly. Both of them looked at each other for a moment. Seeing that Ye Yu did not speak, she slowly opened her mouth and asked softly,
“What happened in De City?”
“The viaduct collapsed!”
“Are you kidding me? They need special forces to settle that issue?!”
“Huh??? How did you know that I was in the special forces?”
Ye Yu’s eyes widened. On his face, which had been flushed by the sun, only his eyes could be seen. His strange tone made Su Su stared at him.
“It’s written on your face!”
Ye Yu really touched his face. He immediately realized that he had been ridiculed by Su Su and felt that it was meaningless. He waved his hand and did not ask Su Su how she knew his identity. His face turned stiff and he asked again,
“What are you doing in De City? The road ahead has already been closed. Non-military vehicles can’t enter De City. Tell me what you want to do in De City. I’ll do it for you.”
“My parents are missing. They’re probably in De city. I’m going in to look for them.”
Su Su really did not hold back. Given the current situation, she could either force her way in or abandon the car and walk in. These two options were not ideal, so she could only trouble Ye Yu. He had special privileges, so it would be easy for him to handle things. It was such a big city, it would be much more convenient to look for him to look for her parents than for an ordinary person like her.
“Give me your parents’ ID number, phone number, and photos.” Since Su Su had asked him, Ye Yu did not complain. He liked to be straightforward, and he also liked others to be straightforward. He immediately stretched out his palm and looked at the car drawer in the passenger seat. “There’s a pen on it.”
Su Su unbuckled her seatbelt, stood up slightly, and took out a pen from the drawer of the car. She glanced at it casually and found that it was waterproof and anti-stripping. That was great! He looked at Ye Yu’s palm again and understood what he meant. Hence, she wrote down his parents’ names, ID numbers, and phone numbers on Ye Yu’s palm.
The warm winter sun basked on Ye Yu’s back. He looked at Su Su’s head from top to bottom. A familiar fragrance assailed his nose. Ye Yu also felt the tip of the pen moving in his palm, he felt itchy, and the thing between his leg began to erect again.
He cursed in his heart. ‘I’m going to chop off that thing later!’
“Alright. This is a photo of my parents!”
Su Su put away the pen and placed the family photo that she had brought out from home on Ye Yu’s palm. He rolled up his big hand, took the photo, and withdrew his hand from the car window. He nodded with a serious and solemn expression. Ye Yu gave people a feeling that he was reliable and trustworthy.
“Alright, leave it to me. Go back and wait for me in Xiang City. I’ll send them to you after I find them.”
After saying that, Ye Yu turned around and left. Su Su tilted her head and looked quietly. Ye Yu was actually carrying a two foot-long military knives on his back. He was fully armed. What exactly happened in De City???? She frowned and shouted,
“Ye Yu!”
Under the sunlight, Ye Yu narrowed his eyes and turned around. Su Su stuck her head out of the window. After thinking for a while, she decided not to ask about anything. Her lips only moved a few times before she said sincerely,
“Thank you!”
No matter what, she should say thank you to him for helping her find her parents.
Ye Yu grinned and looked joyful. He raised his long arm and held Su Su’s family photo in his hand. He waved at Su Su and turned around to run into the checkpoint without saying a word.
Su Su’s car remained where it was for a while. She felt a little uneasy because of the situation inside and outside of De City. It was obvious that De City had entered a high-level lockdown. It would definitely not be a simple landslide inside, but she could not do anything with her current power. She could not go in and see what was going on, so she could only choose to trust Ye Yu!
After thinking for a long time, Su Su still chose to turn around under the watchful eyes of the soldiers in the checkpoint. It was too dangerous in De City, so she wanted to go home and train her water power! When her water ability was a little stronger, she could enter and exit De City as she pleased. It was just a mere De City to her.
Her journey home was unusually smooth. There were many checkpoints on the way in, but when she left, they did not check her and allowed her to pass. Then, she left the national road and everything returned to normal. Although she would occasionally stop for gas on the highway, Su Su could also hear a few complaints. The people were still treating this matter as a topic to talk about.
After a few hours, Su Su returned to the Apple Villa in Xiang City. She moved all the daily necessities behind the jeep out of the car. She found a room with a wide view on the second floor, put on cotton sheets, and took a hot bath before she went to sleep comfortably.
Regarding her training, there was no rush. There were many types of powers awakened by humans, and the rate of growth was uncertain. The training methods were also different. It should be said that each type of powers in each person had different training methods.
In the post-apocalyptic era, the most common training method was to absorb and release energy. During the process, one would learn how to control their power, and then advance to a higher level.
There were many ways to obtain energy. Eating and sleeping could allow the human body to obtain energy, but this method was relatively insignificant and slow. The most effective way to obtain energy was to absorb crystal core, which existed in the bodies of zombies and mutated animals and plants. Superhuman had those in them as well. However, they were not called crystal core, they were called soul essence!
Like a crystal core, a soul essence was also an energy carrier. Some people did not even know that there was such a thing in their body, and some people would not pay much attention to it when they knew about it. In fact, if the soul essence was controlled well, they could improve their abilities and skill drastically in a few days. Just like others were in a state of quantitative change, but the person that trained their soul essence would experience a qualitative change.
