74: Chapter 74 Strange Energy Fluctuations
However, she still did not move.
But Mu Feng understood her intention; his figure vanished from the spot like a ghost, and two seconds later, he instantly appeared at the doorway.
Blocking Yao Xu's path.
At the same time, Xu Yongning no longer intended to mess around with Red-Hair, conjuring a high-speed wind blade that pierced precisely into his heart.
Red-Hair let out an unwilling roar and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
When he stopped breathing, his gaze was still fixed on Yao Xu, as if he wanted him to leave quickly.
Yao Xu had a mental breakdown; he had really provoked a tough opponent today. Not only did he lose an Ability User, but he was afraid he would have to pay with his own life here too.
If he had known, he wouldn't have been so greedy.
He turned to stare at Qi Yin and finally realized that the one in charge among these three people was actually this woman who didn't seem to have any Supernatural Ability.
"I haven't offended you, right? Let's both take a step back. You can have the Li family's supplies, just let me go, how about that?"
Mu Feng kicked him, forcing him to his knees: "Who is taking a step back with you?"
Only then did Qi Yin slowly stand up, straightened her not-at-all messy hem, walked to the ashen-faced Yao Xu, and looked down at him.
"A mere Level 1 Supernatural Ability, and you dare to act presumptuously in front of me?"
Her voice was very soft, but the aura she exuded made Yao Xu shudder with fear.
A mere Level 1 Supernatural Ability? Did this woman without any Supernatural Ability not know how precious Ability Users were in this world?
Before he could retort, Qi Yin's cold voice rang out above him again.
"Trash should stay where trash belongs."
The Tang dao slashed through the cold wind at an extremely fast speed. When it was sheathed, Yao Xu had already become a corpse that couldn't be any deader.
She nodded slightly to Xu Yongning and Mu Feng.
The two understood, and like dragging dead dogs, they dragged the corpses of Yao Xu, Red-Hair, and the lackey who had ambushed them outside, incidentally chasing away the other terrified survivors as well.
The Li family home, which had been clean and quiet in the morning, was now in a complete mess.
Li Wen shielded his wife and daughters, finally letting out a huge sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they were all okay.
This world had truly gone chaotic.
Not only were there so many monsters, but now, superhumans had appeared too.
While he was dazed, Xu Yongning pulled the few of them up from the corner.
"Brother Wen, it's fine now. Remember, in the future, never open the door to strangers casually!"
His attitude was very familiar. Li Wen looked at his face and thought for a long time before he finally remembered who he was.
"You... you are Yongning!"
The special forces soldier his father had once saved!
Come to think of it, they hadn't seen each other for many years.
Meeting again, he hadn't expected it to be in such a scenario.
He hurriedly pulled his wife and two daughters over and introduced them in a panic.
"Quick, thank Uncle Ning. If it weren't for them this time, our family would be finished."
Mrs. Li was about to cry, holding Xu Yongning's hand and sobbing.
"Really, thank you so much, Yongning."
The twins huddled behind her and very sincerely called out "Uncle Ning."
However, their eyes remained fixed on Qi Yin and never left.
Noticing where the two little ones were looking, Xu Yongning finally remembered to introduce them.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce. Brother Wen, this is my boss, Qi Yin, and my good brother, Mu Feng."
The couple from the Li family bowed deeply to the two again. After that, they stumbled to the basement, brought out many good things, and stuffed them all into their arms.
"Look, I don't have anything else to express my gratitude. Please take these things, otherwise I won't be able to rest easy."
Qi Yin glanced at them. Li Wen was indeed very thoughtful; there were so many items that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was enough for their family to eat for a month.
Xu Yongning looked at Qi Yin, and she shook her head.
"Brother Wen, we have plenty of food and drink. You should hide these for yourself for emergencies. Just remember, in the future, never be soft-hearted toward anyone. If you don't think for yourself, you have to think for your wife and two nieces, right?"
Li Wen hesitated: "This..."
How could he accept this?
At this moment, Qi Yin, who had been silent all along, spoke up.
"If you really want to thank us, let those two come with me." She pointed at the twin sisters behind Mrs. Li.
Li Wen's twin daughters, Li Shi and Li Yun, were fifteen years old and had very clear eyes.
She had noticed them the moment she walked in.
She hadn't expected that a whim to come here would lead to such an unexpected gain.
Although Li Shi and Li Yun were frightened, there was a luster deep in their eyes that was different from ordinary people. Most importantly, they were very clean.
There were no traces of having been drenched in the blood rain, and furthermore, no zombies had ever appeared in this area of the Xianhe Mountain hillside villas.
Therefore, logically speaking, the two of them should be pure ordinary people.
However, Qi Yin's keen Spiritual power had captured a trace of extremely faint, pure, and peaceful strange energy fluctuation from them.
It was different from all the energy fluctuations she had seen before; instead, it carried a warmth that soothed the heart.
It was very much like the sun in the sky...
Subconsciously, she always felt that this ability would definitely play an important role in the future.
Qi Yin's words were like a thunderclap on a clear day, causing Li Wen and his wife's expressions to change drastically, and they subconsciously shielded their daughters behind them.
Their eyes were filled with terror and fear, afraid that Qi Yin was the same kind of person as Yao Xu and his group.
Xu Yongning and Mu Feng were also a bit surprised.
After all, the core philosophy Qi Yin had been imparting to them until now was not to have a "saintly" heart in the Apocalypse.
But today, she actually took the initiative to ask for these two girls, which was truly baffling.
Seeming to have anticipated their reaction, Qi Yin's tone remained without any fluctuation.
However, she still explained it very clearly.
"The two of them might be awakening some kind of very special Supernatural Ability. If they stay here, they might not have such good luck to encounter us next time."
"Come with me, and they will receive the best protection. As long as I am alive, no one will dare to touch them."
There were no flowery guarantees, but her words were resonant and firm.
Li Wen's lips trembled. He looked at Qi Yin, then turned back to look at his two daughters, his expression full of struggle.
Of course he knew that staying at home was full of crises.
But to hand his daughters over to a stranger he had just met, who also had such ruthless methods...
This...
At this time, Xu Yongning stepped forward. After all, the two of them knew each other, and compared to Qi Yin, his tone was much gentler.
"Brother Wen, believe me. If your daughters really have potential, only by following us can they survive. If they stay holed up here, today's events will sooner or later repeat themselves."
His words struck a painful chord for Li Wen.
Thinking of the ruthless appearance of Yao Xu and Red-Hair just now, his body trembled involuntarily.
Qi Yin didn't urge him again, but sat on the sofa waiting for him to consider it himself.
Her gaze turned back to the twins. The two little ones happened to be peeking at her, and in their eyes, besides a little fear, there was more that seemed to be curiosity.
As the older sister, Li Shi didn't want her parents to be in a difficult position and took the initiative to step forward and hold their hands.
"Dad, if we go with the big sister, can we become as powerful as her?"
