You Are My Older Sister From Now On

Because Lu Jingren had already spoken, no one in the group had the guts to protest anymore. They all went to plan ahead and asked Zhang Youji for information so that they would know what to expect. It was all to minimize the risks to themselves.

Most of them were only at Level one and with their low levels, they didn't have the confidence to be so arrogant especially when they were about to encounter an unknown mutant monster that ate ability users for appetizers.

"How many people did this 'thing' ate?" Fu Yangzhu asked casually, without a hint of consideration. Mizuki Rei immediately smacked him on the head and gave him a dirty look.

"Fu Yangzhu, mind your words, you idiot!"

"AH! That hurts, Little Rei! I was only telling the truth. Those humans that had mutated aren't called humans anymore. They are monsters and in order for us to survive, we have to stop treating them like they're one of us. Little Rei, have you forgotten that Qingqing got hurt because of one of those things? If it weren't for the resins, she might have just died because of how much blood she lost. Don't be soft, tch." Fu Yangzhu clicked his tongue.

"It really makes me wonder how on earth you managed to survive when you're like this."

Mizuki Rei was embarrassed when he heard this but he was also quite prideful and wasn't one to admit defeat so easily.

"Hey, Fu Yangzhu! No one would happy to hear if someone called your mother a 'thing'!"

"But that thing isn't his mother anymore so what's the problem here?" Fu Yangzhu said with an innocent look.

It was Lin Jiaojiao who heard this that exploded and smacked Fu Yangzhu on the head. "You insensitive idiot! You are the problem! Xiao Ji is just a kid. You have to be nice about it. We understand that his mother is no longer human but still, that was his Mom! If it had been your mother, would you be okay with people calling your Mom a 'thing' that is no different from a monster?"

Mizuki Rei was touched that this cute little sister defended him while Fu Yangzhu who had received the beating was shocked.

"You..."

"What?" Lin Jiaojiao said. Fu Yangzhu was just about to retort when he suddenly felt goosebumps rising from his skin. He slowly looked in a certain direction where the hostile aura was coming from. He was stunned when he saw two pairs of eyes looking at him threateningly.

Both Lilian Mo and Mu Qingqing were warning him through their eyes while they stood behind Lin Jiaojiao.

Seeing this, Fu Yangzhu nearly choked. Those two girls looked ready to murder him!

Also, he still remembered that Mu Qingqing was both adored by Mu Qianmo and Mizuki Rei and would no doubt step up to protect her if Fu Yangzhu were to argue. There was also Lilian Mo who had the same vibe as the Boss and was just as scary.

'Damn it. These girls aren't girls! They are so scary!' Fu Yangzhu shivered to himself. 'They're aliens!'

He reluctantly backed down.

"Hmph." Lin Jiaojiao crossed her arms and turned her head away from Fu Yangzhu. She had immediately dubbed Fu Yangzhu as a no-good insensitive idiot that only has a pretty face but possesses extremely low EQ.

'Even my Big brother who is a doctor wouldn't say such a heartless thing!' Lin Jiaojiao thought while comparing the two.

She then turned to Zhang Youji with a smile, her attitude completely different.

"Xiao Ji, ignore him, okay? Big sister just wants to know how strong your Mom is."

"The mutants grow stronger whenever they eat ability users." Lilian Mo added. "I've seen it when I was venturing alone." She hadn't completely lied to them. She really did saw this in her past life but they wouldn't know that so it was best to keep that information to herself.

"Depending on how many ability users this mutant had eaten, we might be facing a strong opponent that is out of our league. Most of you are only at Level one. I think it's best if you guys absorb the crystal cores first." Lilian Mo got out of the car and pulled out a bag filled with crystal cores from her space.

"You need to upgrade."

Mizuki Rei and the others turned to her with wide eyes when they saw the number of crystal cores in her bag. Their jaws almost dropped when they saw this.

Even Zhang Youji who would be given a crystal core by his Mom had never seen so many crystal cores at once.

Lilian Mo did not mind their questioning gazes since she was inwardly sighing.

Was this really the group that had founded the Z-base in her previous life? Why was it that three months into the apocalypse and they still haven't got themselves any crystal cores? She was really filled with doubt right now.

She glanced at Lu Jingren who did not seem as surprised as the others. Anyway, it was probably because of this guy...

She cleared her throat. "When I was alone, I was very unlucky and had been surrounded by a lot of mutants. I picked up a few crystal cores because of that."

Few...

FEW!?

These are a few! They couldn't believe how casual this girl could be.

"Ah... I only took out level one crystal cores. If it's not enough, I have level two crystal cores with me in another bag. Of course, when you all grow stronger, you can repay me later. For now, I am giving this so that we can minimize the risk to ourselves by increasing everyone's strength."

Mizuki Rei lowered his head, his shoulders trembling.

He walked towards Lilian Mo and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"You are my older sister from now on."
