BXBX NOVEL Chapter 18
"I\'ll give you one chance. Get down."
Her demeanor truly gave off the air of a little tyrant born in a bandit\'s lair.
Arrogant and full of mischief.
Qian Jing unconsciously swallowed but tried to maintain her composure.
"Your words are quite intimidating, but with that toy gun you think..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Yun Xiaoxiao\'s gun aimed at her forehead, finger already pulling the trigger.
"Bang!"
The bullet suddenly flew out, scaring Qian Jing pale.
She fell straight backwards in fright, which coincidentally allowed her to dodge the bullet\'s attack.
"Ah!"
She crashed heavily onto the ground, the sound of breaking bones suddenly echoing.
The ladder also fell on top of her with a clang. Having already broken her leg from the fall, she screamed in pain even louder.
"Oww~"
Suddenly, a nearby zombie, hearing the noise, frantically ran over.
"Ahhh, zombie! A zombie\'s coming, why are you just standing there stupidly, hurry and help me up!"
Jiang Minhuai snapped out of his shock and quickly hoisted Qian Jing onto his back, rushing towards his home.
Just as they closed the door, they heard the sound of zombies violently pounding on it from outside.
Both were left shaken, realizing that if they had been even a moment later, they would surely have been bitten to death by the zombies.
"Ouch, my leg! My leg is broken!"
Qian Jing immediately began to wail.
"Keep it down, or you\'ll attract more zombies," Jiang Minhuai frowned.
"I\'m dying of pain here, and you\'re giving me attitude!"
"If you hadn\'t provoked that young girl, would you have broken your leg? You brought this on yourself."
Hearing Jiang Minhuai\'s words, Qian Jing suddenly remembered Yun Xiaoxiao\'s merciless and wicked gaze as she pulled the trigger, and the terror of death approaching as the bullet neared. Her whole body couldn\'t stop shaking.
"Mad, mad, this world has gone completely mad!"
She muttered, her eyes full of fear.
"Mommy, where are my chips, roast duck, and fried chicken?" The chubby little boy Jiang Zihao ran out from the room, clamoring for food.
Qian Jing glared at him, "All you think about is eating, look how fat you\'ve gotten!"
The little boy burst into loud tears.
Jiang Minhuai quickly covered his mouth, "Stop crying, or more monsters will come."
Yun Xiaoxiao\'s simple and brutal intimidation method proved very effective. After that, this family never bothered her again.
She also threw herself fully into improving her abilities.
In the blink of an eye, another seven days passed.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, mission completed!

Speed 10%.

Overall combat ability raised to Level 1!
Reward: Overall combat ability doubled!
Body health status improved by 100%.
1 bottle of supernatural ability evolution potion!
Wood-based Supernatural Ability activated!]
Yun Xiaoxiao: !!
She who had just been complaining about only having 5% strength and 0% Supernatural Ability Value instantly perked up.
She also clearly felt the changes in her body, feeling much more energetic overall.
Throwing a punch, the wind from her fist was indeed stronger!
And that 100% improvement in health value was especially close to her heart.
Children\'s bodies are not fully developed, so they are most prone to illness.
Improved health meant she wouldn\'t get sick as easily, which was practically tailor-made for her!
In her excitement, she stretched out her palm again.
With a thought, a small, swaying vine sprouted from her palm.
Her supernatural ability had indeed been activated!
Half a month earlier than in her previous life!
Under her mental control, the vine grew longer and longer, eventually becoming a large whip.
She manipulated the vine at will, making it take various shapes.
However, her supernatural ability level was still too low, so the vine\'s power wasn\'t particularly strong.
Supernatural abilities ranged from low to high, from level one to ten.
Each level was further divided into three stages: beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
She was currently at the lowest stage of level one beginner.
She looked thoughtfully at the supernatural ability evolution potion floating in front of her.
In her previous life, people had discovered that the crystal cores in zombies\' heads could enhance the power of those with supernatural abilities, but the side effects were severe.
Many ability users consumed them directly, and while their abilities improved, their personalities gradually became very aggressive, and they eventually risked dying from their bodies exploding.
Later, a base invented the supernatural ability evolution potion, extracted from zombie crystal cores. It was not only more effective than directly consuming the cores but also had minimal side effects.
However, the price was astronomical, with a single bottle selling for a fortune.
There was no choice; only that one base had the evolution potion, creating an almost monopoly. No matter how expensive, everyone had to buy it.
After all, only by enhancing their abilities could they have the power to survive.
She wondered how this system-rewarded potion differed from the one she drank in her previous life.
She picked it up, opened the cap, and drank it all in one go.
As soon as the small bottle\'s contents went down, she felt a surge of comfort throughout her body, along with an indescribable sense of fullness.
The purity of this was definitely more than twice as good as the evolution potion she drank in her previous life!
Just this small bottle had caused her supernatural ability level to skyrocket from level one beginner straight to level one advanced!
This was absolutely ahead of all current supernatural ability users!
"What\'s the next mission?"
She was now eager to complete the second mission.
The rewards after the mission were too perfect for her; she was looking forward to the next reward!
[For the second phase of the mission, the host needs to increase overall combat ability to Level 4 within the next 15 days.]
Yun Xiaoxiao confidently said, "Alright!"
To reward and encourage herself, Yun Xiaoxiao decided to have mushroom soup with pork ribs hot pot for lunch today.
She had just come out of her space when she heard a commotion outside.
Standing at the second-floor window, she lifted the curtain to look.
She saw the family next door packing things into their car\'s trunk, seemingly preparing to leave.
The woman\'s leg still hadn\'t healed; she was limping along with a cane.
After not seeing them for a few days, they had all lost a considerable amount of weight.
Soon after, the car indeed drove out of the villa complex.
Yun Xiaoxiao didn\'t pay much attention, closed the curtain, and went downstairs to the dining room.
As usual, she turned on the radio.
She then walked to the dining table, set out the soup pot, and arranged the side dishes one by one.
"Urgent notice! Temporary Survivor Bases have been set up across the country. We will now announce the information about existing bases. Survivors can proceed to..."
The radio continuously broadcast the approximate locations of bases in various regions.
Yun Xiaoxiao understood; so the family next door had gone to a base.
Meanwhile, Jiang Minhuai\'s family had just reached a road at the foot of a mountain when their tire was punctured by nails on the ground.
Immediately after, a group of men armed with guns and clubs surrounded their car.
The family was too frightened to make a sound, with Jiang Zihao crying loudly in fear.
