Li Lewei is now most worried about one thing, because the place where she dies in the original novel is approaching.
Although she can assure herself not to act recklessly and not to be willful anymore, she is still scared, afraid that the world would still obliterate her.
Whether it’s to earn Ying Yiming’s appreciation or to protect her own life, Li Lewei has been training her superpower very diligently lately.
In the early stages, the Wood Elent Superpower can be said to be a very diocre power, but she knew that once the level of the power increased, the Wood Elent would still shine brightly.
In the later stages of the apocalypse, as the land and water sources were progressively contaminated, the food and drinking water beca extrely precious, yet the Wood Elent Superpower could control the growth of normal food crops, and it could to so extent cure the Zombie Virus.
Thus, Li Lewei was not at all discouraged about having the Wood Elent Superpower; her positive attitude appeared to Ying Yiming as if her ostensibly diocre power was still applied with effort, persistence, and motivation, which improved her impression on him.
However, due to the age gap and having grown up together, in Ying Yiming’s heart, he just treated her with the concern he would have for a younger sister, while Li Lewei wanted more than just to be his sister.
"Le Wei, later you and your aunt should not stray too far from ," said Luo Yong, Ying Yiming’s deputy, to Li Lewei. He was the first person to be amazed by Li Lewei’s beauty, and also the first soldier to feel a fondness for her. Perhaps he even harbored so sort of affection for her, but due to his position and status, he has never expressed his feelings, yet always silently took care of Li Lewei behind the scenes.
Did Li Lewei not know his feelings? Of course, she did, but her target was Ying Yiming; Luo Yong naturally did not catch her eye. However, as one of Ying Yiming’s deputies, his own strength was not weak, and he even assud a significant position in the base that Ying Yiming later established.
Therefore, she pretended to be unaware of Luo Yong’s intentions, yet step by step, she captured his feelings. If he loved her, he should help and support her to achieve her goals.
"What’s the situation ahead?" Li Lewei knew the reason, how could she not be aware of the place where this body was dood to die? But she couldn’t reveal that she was transmigrated, so she asked with a puzzled face.
"There’s a river up ahead, but the bridge is broken. If we go around, it will add half a month to our journey, so later we’ll take a boat to cross, but there seems to be sothing in the water."
"What is it?" asked Zhao Lihua, Li Lewei’s mother, nervously. The journey had nearly driven her insane. Previously, she was just a lady of leisure, living a smooth and affluent life, but after the apocalypse, not only did she not manifest a superpower, everything turned into a chaotic and filthy ss. Over the last few days, she experienced zombies, mutant animals, mutant plants, and now being told there might be sothing terribly frightful in the water? She was on the verge of collapsing.
Although the lady continually hindered their progress, she was, after all, Li Lewei’s mother, and Luo Yong always treated her respectfully, and he reassured her: "Mrs. Zhao, please rest assured, we will certainly protect you."
"Rest assure, how can you ask to rest assure?" Zhao Lihua shrieked shrilly, "We have been walking for so many days, why haven’t we arrived? Since you know there are dangers in the water, why not take a safe route by going around?"
"Please understand, if we take a detour, it will add half a month to our journey, and nobody knows if we might encounter even more dangers in that half a month. Currently, crossing the river by boat is our best option."
"You..."
"Mom..." Zhao Lihua was about to say more when Li Lewei tily stopped her, "Brother Yiming and the others are soldiers, their judgnt won’t be wrong, we will be safe with their protection, don’t be nervous, okay?"
Listening to her daughter’s reassurance, Zhao Lihua’s agitated heart gradually cald down, then she broke down and leaned on her daughter’s shoulder, crying: "I don’t even know what the situation is like at the base, why do they have to build it so far away? When can we possibly get there? Does this apocalypse really leave no way for people to survive?"
"Mom, didn’t I tell you before? Jiang Province and Mongolian Province are sparsely populated, after the outbreak of the apocalypse, there are much fewer zombies there than in the developed cities like Jing City. Furthermore, Jiang Province and Mongolian Province are no longer the boundless deserts they used to be but now have abundant water sources. The nation’s decision to establish the base there must have been after thorough deliberation, we don’t need to worry."
Li Lewei’s explanations not only cald Zhao Lihua, but also the families of other officials with them gradually settled down, and soldiers like Luo Yong were even giving Li Lewei friendly smiles.
Li Lewei humbly accepted it on the surface, but inwardly she couldn’t help feeling proud, and at the sa ti, she grew impatient with Zhao Lihua.
She was not Zhao Lihua’s biological daughter, so her feelings towards her naturally weren’t like those between mother and daughter. However, in the eyes of Ying Yiming and these soldiers, they were seen as the closest mother and daughter, so she absolutely could not show a disdainful attitude towards Zhao Lihua.
But Zhao Lihua, this middle-aged woman, really is good for nothing, doing nothing but crying and complaining, without showing a bit of responsibility.
"Le Wei, you guys move to the middle." Luo Yong and others stood at the edge of the boat, their expressions solemn as they watched the surface of the water. They had a lot of cargo and many people; this was already the third trip. The previous two trips, apart from so sharp-toothed pomfrets jumping out, were calm, but everyone still did not dare to relax their vigilance.
Li Lewei’s heart was also not calm. She knew that in her previous life, this very body had died here. But because she was just a minor character, it wasn’t specified which boat she was on, just that due to her wilfulness of throwing sothing into the water, it led to the ergence of a huge monster, and she was eventually dragged into the water by the monster.
But in the end, the monster was killed by Ying Yiming, the male protagonist, and a chicken egg-sized Crystal Core was extracted from the monster’s head. It was this Crystal Core that made the male protagonist’s superpower jump up two levels.
At this mont, Li Lewei was both afraid that the big monster would appear, but also reluctant to let go of the Crystal Core that could make Ying Yiming level up, feeling extrely conflicted inside.
The boat reached the middle of the river, and the water surface looked very calm, but everyone’s nerves were tightly strained.
"Be careful! Attack!" Ying Yiming was the first to spot the anomaly, quickly giving the command.
With his loud shout, Li Lewei finally saw what exactly caused this body to die tragically in her previous life.
A tentacle that was tens of ters long, with suckers large as face plates on it, was clearly a mutated Big Octopus. But isn’t this place inland? Why are there marine creatures here? Could it be that the mutations of creatures have started to disregard their living environnts? Does it an that one day they might even crawl onto land?
Li Lewei was frightened by her own guess.
