The Awakening Gift

Mall.

Xiao Jun did not take care of all the zombies wandering around in the mall, but quietly went to the basement instead.

There was indeed a storage warehouse here as expected.

The warehouse door was closed tightly, it seemed no one had come here yet.

At this stage, most of the survivors were more focused on searching supermarkets. And only a small number of people had spatial equipment that could be used to store water and food instead of other things.

Xiao Jun opened the warehouse door. Under the illumination of the strong flashlight, the fully-stocked warehouse appeared before his eyes.

Beddings, let's take 50 sets first, then 50 soft mattresses.

If Xiao Jun didn't have a 5,000 kg spatial bracelet, he would have to think carefully about taking 50 sets of beddings and mattresses weighing 1,000 kg.

Then 50 sets of cotton quilts, weighing 200 kg in total.

Having a large space equipment was just so great.

Xiao Jun didn't blindly take other things, big brands before the apocalypse were worthless now.

Sexy lingerie? He could take some, 100 sets for starters, they were not heavy anyway.

Outdoor shoes? These were good, he had often heard people boast about them before the apocalypse, Xiao Jun wanted to try them too.

He would take 100 pairs then, and let Wan Qianya wear them later to try.

He also took some other big brand clothes and shoes symbolically, they would make nice rewards for the outstanding young ladies later.

Cosmetics and skin care products, he took them too.

In the end, Xiao Jun took 4,000 kg worth of things from this mall, mostly to prepare for the young ladies in his group.

That’s about it.

After observing the surroundings, there were zombies upstairs, and it was very safe here in the dark basement.

Xiao Jun decided to take the Talent Compound here.

He walked deeper inside, chose a slightly more comfortable place where clothes were stacked, it felt softer to sit on them.

He took out the Talent Compound from his space, it was a light purple liquid, emitting alluring fragrance in the dark warehouse.

Sitting cross-legged, Xiao Jun downed the whole bottle of the compound.

The liquid went in, it didn’t have any particular taste, and quickly slid down his throat.

More than 10 seconds later, Xiao Jun’s head suddenly felt hot, as if something special wanted to climb out.

This feeling lasted for 5-6 minutes. It was not painful but very uncomfortable, like having an itch somewhere that could not be scratched.

Then, that was it...

Was that all? Xiao Jun was puzzled.

Xiao Jun suddenly remembered what the Talent Compound description said, there was a certain probability...

Damn, could that probability be like Penguin's Law, combined with his African-level luck. Gaining a superpower talent was just not meant for him?

Xiao Jun felt annoyed that he didn’t get a superpower talent. Even with his current advantage, once it got to the later stages, having a superpower talent made a world of difference compared to not having one.

But there was no solution for feeling annoyed, Xiao Jun sighed and stood up.

But suddenly his head spun and he fell down again, losing consciousness this time.

...

"Why isn't brother Jun back yet, it's almost dark."

In the room, Wan Qianya paced back and forth anxiously, looking outside from time to time.

"Brother Jun is so powerful, he must be alright."

Jiang Yue was taking stock of today’s harvests while Li Jingyin followed Wan Qianya trying to comfort her.

"No, I have to go out and find him."

Seeing that it was almost dark outside, Wan Qianya couldn’t wait any longer.

"You can't."

Jiang Yue who was organizing data looked up.

Among them in the dorm, Li Jingyin was the craziest, Wan Qianya was the coldest, and Jiang Yue was the gentlest and quietest.

But strangely, when there was something important in the dorm, it was often Jiang Yue who had the final say, and others would obediently listen to her.

So now even when Wan Qianya was the strongest, she still subconsciously looked at Jiang Yue without refuting.

"There is at most half an hour before it gets dark. You don't know his location either, recklessly going out has a high possibility of not making it back."

"With your strength, wandering outside after dark means certain death."

Jiang Yue had already stood up, striding with her long, fair legs, and walked to Wan Qianya's side.

"You can only believe he's alright."

There was one sentence Jiang Yue didn't say. If something happened to Wan Qianya, she would have no guarantees left.

If Xiao Jun was fine, Wan Qianya was also her biggest reliance now.

If something happened to Xiao Jun, Wan Qianya would become her only reliance.

In the apocalypse, a few dozen delicate beauties plus large amounts of supplies, without sufficient strength, they estimated they would be eaten clean without anything left.

Wan Qianya understood this rationale too. She collapsed powerlessly on the sofa.

The sky was completely dark now, the zombies outside became active again.

Occasionally screams could be heard from afar, they were the dying cries of humans who didn't make it back to their shelter in time.

That night, Wan Qianya was sleepless.

That night, so was Jiang Yue.

If Xiao Jun died, it would have huge impacts on their group of wives and concubines.

Whereas Xiao Jun slept very sound. When he woke up there was some pain at the back of his head, probably from knocking it when he fainted.

He took out two to three strong flashlights and turned them on to illuminate his surroundings before he felt relieved.

He was still in the mall’s warehouse, it was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.

Shaking his somewhat dizzy head, Xiao Jun was suddenly stunned. He then closed his eyes, seeming to sense something.

More than 10 seconds later, Xiao Jun opened his eyes again and looked towards a corner of the warehouse. Under the strong flashlight, it was as bright as day there.

The next second, Xiao Jun suddenly disappeared, and appeared out of thin air in that corner he was looking at just now.

Teleportation, this was Xiao Jun's superpower.

He could teleport to any location within his sight range, usable 3 times per day.

This information somehow directly popped up in his mind, as if he had always known it.

Damn, teleportation was just too powerful!

If anyone fought him, appearing suddenly behind the opponent, he could kill however he wanted.

Although only 3 uses per day was lacking a bit, but if used well, one time was enough.

Uh... ignore what I just said if you are public enemy of the whole world.

Xiao Jun kept all the flashlights, leaving only one in hand, and got ready to head back.

The harvest today was just too huge.

Pushing the warehouse door open made a squeaky sound, extra sharp in this dark night, soon, Xiao Jun heard a familiar sound.

It was the sound of zombies running.

Damn, what's the situation, could it be night time already?

Xiao Jun thought of this possibility.

Only at night would such sounds startle the zombies upstairs.

Xiao Jun immediately stopped his movement, he couldn't make any more sounds now, otherwise it would attract more zombies.

The zombies that heard the sound were getting closer and closer. The flashlight shone, just 3 of them, manageable.

Afraid that fighting sounds would lure more zombies over, Xiao Jun decisively used his second teleportation for today.

One slash, all three tier 1 zombies were beheaded.

Relieved, Xiao Jun returned to the warehouse, he didn't close the door now. As long as he didn't make a sound, zombies likely wouldn't run here.

He found a comfortable corner and lied down. Now he could only wait until day time to head out.

He wondered how Wan Qianya and the rest were doing.
