Chapter 63: Inspection in the Isolation Room
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
An ice blade appeared in Su Shanshan’s hand. The bone-chilling cold quickly lowered the temperature of the room. The female soldier’s expression changed and she quickly said, “This way, please.”
Superpowered people did not get infections easily, so there was no need to examine their bodies. They just needed to stay in the isolation room for three days.
Su Shanshan was familiar with this process. After all, she had to go through it every time she came back to the base in her previous life.
Ordinary people would need to be quarantined for seven days after being examined. Actually, the so-called physical examination was in place because they were afraid that people would secretly hide food and crystal cores on their bodies. Every time they went out, they would have to pay 10% of the food and
crystal cores they got in exchange for the right to live in the base.
The female soldier led her into a separate quarantine room, which was not crowded like those she had seen on her way here. After all, resources were scarce in the apocalyptic era, and there were not many apartments for isolating people. If a zombie appeared in one’s quarantine room and one got bitten
before a soldier shot it, one could only blame one’s bad luck.
‘The female soldier gave her an information sheet to fill. On it were a few simple questions—name, occupation, special ability, and level.
Apart from the fact that the information about supernatural powers was authentic, everything else was just a formality. It was easy for many criminals to hide their identities in the apocalypse. After all, no one knew what they were originally doing.
Su Shanshan added ice power to the Supernatural Power column. After thinking about it, she added level-five Superpower in the level column.
In fact, she had already reached level six before she entered the base. She was concealing one level. It was always necessary to hide some trump cards. The base was divided into levels. If she wanted to find Gu Jincheng, she had to go to the center of the base.
In the apocalyptic era, the strong were respected. It was not good to be perceived as too weak or too strong, Since it was announced that the highest level of superpowered people was level five, she decided to write ‘level-five.’
The female soldier looked at her in surprise. She had felt how strong she was just now. She did not expect her to be so strong. She was actually on the same level as Mr. Gu. If that was true, she would be the second level-five person in the world.
Such a person was not someone she could receive. She held the information sheet and rushed out. When she arrived at the door of the commander’s office, she accidentally bumped into someone and dropped the information sheet in her hand. When she looked up and saw who it was, she hurriedly
apologized, “I’m sorry, Ms. Liu. It was not intentional. Please forgive me.”
Liu Zhixi frowned, then smiled and said, “It’s alright, I’m fine. You don’t have to be so nervous about such a small matter.”
Only then did the female soldier relax. She looked at Liu Zhixi’s gentle face and sighed. As expected of Mr. Gu’s woman, she can still be so clean and beautiful in the apocalypse.
She thought of Su Shanshan in the isolation room. She was prettier, and it seemed right that she was so strong.
In order to show her generosity, Liu Zhixi bent down and helped her pick up the piece of paper on the ground. When she saw the name on it, her expression froze and she said in a sharp voice, “Su Shanshan, she’s still alive!”
The female soldier asked curiously, “Do you know her?” She took a step back, thinking that Liu Zhixi’s face was very twisted and scary.
Liu Zhixi could not care less about the image that she tried her best to maintain. She looked at the column that said ‘level-five ice-type power’ and was so jealous that she went crazy. There was only one thought in her mind-she absolutely could not let Su Shanshan enter the base. She absolutely could not.
She had an idea. She clenched her fists, barely able to control the panic in her heart. She smiled and said, “This person is my friend. But last time, she pushed me into a crowd of zombies. If Gu Jincheng hadn’t save me, I would have lost my life long ago.”
She looked sad, pained by her friend’s betrayal.
The female soldier was shocked. She did not expect that Su Shanshan, Ms. Liu, and Mr. Gu had such a history. It seemed to her that Su Shanshan was not someone who would push a good friend into a zombie crowd.
Seeing no reaction from her, Liu Zhixi’s eyes darkened slightly. Every second, a tear streaked across her face. She cried, “Drive her away. Don’t say that I’m here. If Jincheng knows that she is still alive, he definitely won’t let her off. Although she has betrayed me, I don’t want her to die.”
