81: Chapter 81 Wang Hui has spatial abilities!

At her sudden approach, Wang Hui seemed startled, backing away repeatedly and accidentally stepping on a teammate's foot.

Once she calmed down, Wang Hui spoke hesitantly.

"Who's your Sister-in-law? Your brother and I haven't been together for a long time."

Qi Yin nodded slightly; what Wang Hui said seemed correct. After all, she had abandoned the Qi Family and fled during the heavy rain.

But seeing this reaction, Qi Yin felt something was off.

Why did Wang Hui seem so afraid of her?

Logically speaking, given Wang Hui's previous arrogant and overbearing nature—where she’d look down her nose at everyone just because her family had a bit of money—now that she had awakened a rare Supernatural Ability, her tail should be held high in the sky.

Seeing her former unpopular 'Sister-in-law,' even if she didn't offer a few cold, mocking words, she should at least have an indifferent, dismissive attitude.

But now, Wang Hui's behavior was completely different.

Qi Yin remembered that earlier outside, when they were asking for people, Wang Hui had almost immediately hidden behind Wang Jianhua, burying her head so low it almost touched the ground, not daring to give her a single glance.

What was she hiding from? Was she terrified that Qi Yin would notice her?

Unless...

Wang Hui had a guilty conscience, and this 'guilt' was related to her.

Qi Yin narrowed her eyes, recalling the previous details.

Specifically, the way Wang Hui and Wang Jianhua looked at her; besides being guarded, there seemed to be a hint of complexity, as if they were hesitating to speak.

This father and daughter were definitely hiding something.

Qi Yin watched Wang Hui rejoin the Ability User squad, her gaze frighteningly calm.

Lu Yan was a bit worried about her state and nudged her with his elbow.

"Are you okay, Yin Yin?"

He glanced at the cowering Wang Hui, thinking Qi Yin was troubled by past unpleasant memories because of her.

Qi Yin turned around and sat down, her back to the others, as she took out several braised pork bento boxes that Lu Yanxiu had made earlier and distributed them.

"I'm fine. Everyone must be hungry; let's eat something first."

The braised pork she just took out was still steaming hot, its fragrance drifting with the cold wind and spreading through the entire room like a poison.

The hunger pangs of the people on Tian Zining's side were immediately stirred up.

Saliva kept secreting in their mouths, nearly dripping out.

How long had it been? How long had it been since they had touched meat?

"Brother Ning, the guys haven't eaten all day, how about..."

Tian Zining's gaze swept over his teammates; everyone's lips were blue from the cold, and their stomachs were making protesting noises.

He glared at Wang Hui.

"Get everyone something to eat."

Glancing sideways at the group across from them feasting on braised pork, Tian Zining subconsciously clutched his stomach to keep it from making noise.

That woman's backpack looked so small; how could it hold so much?

As soon as Wang Hui heard she had to open her stores, she instantly transformed from her previous submissiveness to being arrogant and bossy.

"All you think about is eating all day long, and the mission isn't even finished yet."

Then, she slowly turned away and took out a few pieces of hard bread and two bottles of water.

"Here, eat sparingly, and share the water too."

"You..." Several team members looked at the pitifully small amount of food, their anger rising.

The members of this squad were, after all, elites handpicked by Tian Zining. Before Wang Hui joined, supplies were always sufficient; they had never suffered such a grievance.

They risked their lives for nothing more than a full meal, yet now they were being suppressed by a woman. This was more than they could bear.

Besides, these supplies were found by them during missions; they only let this woman keep them for convenience during operations.

"Captain!"

Tian Zining reached his limit. With a large hand, he grabbed Wang Hui's wrist as she was secretly sneaking food to Wang Jianhua and gave her a harsh slap.

"I've tolerated you for a long time. Take out the food."

Tian Zining rubbed his wrist; in his world, there was no rule against hitting women.

The massive momentum sent Wang Hui crashing directly into the wall, even knocking out two of her teeth.

"Xiao Hui!" Wang Jianhua hurriedly stuffed his bread into his mouth before shouting and running over.

At this, Wang Hui clutched her face and subconsciously glanced at Qi Yin.

The other was chewing meat in large mouthfuls, not giving her a single look.

Qi Yin, it's all your fault!

Tian Zining truly gave her no face at all; his actions just now proved that he really would kill her.

She didn't dare to act up again and could only hide among the crowd, taking out enough food.

And Qi Yin did not miss the scene where space distorted once again.

Her eyes narrowed, and the suspicion in her heart deepened by several degrees!

Wang Hui had, in all probability, truly awakened a Spatial Ability.

Of the two groups, one ate fragrant braised pork over rice, while the other could only gnaw on hard bread with water, watching the others eat until their mouths were glistening with oil.

Both sides maintained their distance, and things remained peaceful.

The sky gradually darkened, and the snow began to let up slightly.

Qi Yin and the others wrapped themselves in blankets early on and leaned against each other, seemingly asleep.

On Tian Zining's side, a team member approached stealthily but was grabbed by Tian Zining.

"What are you doing?"

The team member said, "Brother Ning, there must be more food in their bags."

He was truly craving that braised pork.

Tian Zining glanced at the sleeping Qi Yin, his gaze falling on the backpack beside her, looking somewhat dark.

"Don't go looking for trouble. Finish the mission and let's leave quickly."

The member said, "Brother Ning..."

"Listen to me..."

Late at night, a faint mechanical roar came from the oil tank area; clearly, the other party had begun pumping oil.

Qi Yin and the others suddenly opened their eyes and moved quietly toward the window.

Lu Yanxiu said, "They've started their move."

Indeed, Tian Zining directed his men to use equipment brought out by Wang Hui to connect to a massive oil storage tank, frantically pumping gasoline into one white drum after another.

Once they finished pumping, he hauled Wang Hui over.

Qi Yin saw Wang Hui standing by the pile of white oil drums, reaching out her hand to touch the drums filled with gasoline.

Then, a bizarre scene occurred.

The moment she touched them, a large number of oil drums disappeared!

Everything became clear in Qi Yin's mind. If it was just a suspicion before, now she was certain.

It wasn't that she couldn't sense it, but rather that abilities involving spatial rules were inherently profound, and the initial ability fluctuations were extremely subtle.

Lu Jinwen's eyes widened. "Sister, she can do it too?"

Everyone else, like her, waited for Qi Yin's answer.

Qi Yin frowned; her expression already said everything.

Outside in the icy world, Tian Zining's teammates looked at the remaining two massive oil storage tanks with regret; it was such a pity.

"Brother Ning, there's so much oil left that we can't take away. What should we do?"

Seeing him look over, Wang Hui immediately glared back.

"What are you looking at? Do you think Spatial Ability Users grow like radishes in a field? Being able to take one tank is already good enough."

Ridiculous. This idiot wasn't Tian Zining; why should she be afraid of him?

Seeing that they were about to have internal strife again, Tian Zining roared in a low voice, "What are you arguing about? Those people upstairs can't take it away anyway. We'll just make another trip."

He glanced back at the empty window on the second floor and led his people away quietly.

Chen Quan went downstairs first. When he returned, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"They pumped one tank and left two. This Wang Hui cannot be allowed to live..."

He made a throat-slitting gesture.

Qi Yin slowly opened her eyes, her gaze becoming clear.

She shook her head slightly and held him back.

"Don't move!"

Extending her Spiritual power toward the perimeter of the oil storage station, Qi Yin discovered at least twenty ability fluctuations hidden behind the walls.

Their formation was faintly surrounding the oil storage station.

These people were clearly there to support Wang Hui and her group.

"They came prepared. There's an ambush outside with quite a few people."

Qi Yin whispered, "It's not worth taking action now."
