Chapter 37: The Girl Who Saw the Future

The last few remaining zombies were all removed.

Gu Ning stayed on the roof of the building until the smoke faded out before he went down from the roof with his gun on his back.

When Gu Ning reached the door, she suddenly stepped on a round object under her foot. A third, a fourth, a fifth ...

Finally Gu Ning bent over and picked up at least thirty-five beads near the large iron door.

All of them were transparent in colour, crystal clear and lustrous.

These beads seemed to be only available to those zombies that moved well.

Gu Ning pulled out the backpack on her back and was about to put all these beads into it and walk into the gathering place.

She was then stopped by someone.

At the head of the group was Yan Yu, who led the dozen or so people to block Gu Ning's path.

Pei Jing had already been taken away by White Wolf by this time.

"Hand over the stuff."

Gu Ning glanced at her and threw the beads into his backpack as if he hadn't heard them, then slung them onto his back.

Cheng Ming and Daoist Jia both hurried over and stood next to Gu Ning, watching the group warily.

The few soldiers who had stayed behind also noticed this side and did not rush off, but stood over there from afar to observe the situation.

Yan Yu was a little impatient: "Didn't you hear me talking to you? Hand over my things!"

"Your things?" Gu Ning raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Of course!" Yan Yu said without hesitation, "Didn't you see that fire just now?"

Gu Ning looked at her coldly, "If I'm right, only those zombies who climbed up the iron gate and moved swiftly had these beads. I stood on the roof of the opposite building and fired a total of over forty shots. All of them were aimed at the walkers on the iron gate. And all this time you've just been on the fence. When that fire of yours burned up, there were already only those ordinary walkers."

Yan Yu sneered, "Hmph, you said you fired over forty shots from such a distance, did you manage to hit the zombies with every shot?"

Gu Ning didn't talk nonsense to her, he directly removed the gun, then turned around and aimed it at an antenna erected there at the diagonal opposite of where she was just now, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the antenna over there snapped off.

Then, Gu Ning turned his gun around and aimed it directly at Yan Yu, saying coldly, "Do you believe that your head will explode with a bang a second before you send out those fireballs of yours?"

Yan Yu's face suddenly changed, she was also considered unlucky today, White Wolf was not afraid of the sky and the earth, and here she met a soft and hard Gu Ning, twice in one day she was put at gunpoint to her head, still when she already possessed her supernatural powers. You can imagine how she feels now.

As Gu Ning turned her gun towards Yan Yu, the soldiers who had been observing the situation there also raised their guns and pointed them at Yan Yu's group, believing that as soon as they made a move, they would not hesitate to shoot.

Finally, under such pressure, a man pulled Yan Yu and said, "Yan Yu. Pei Jing said not to let you cause any trouble."

Yan Yu's face changed several times before she finally gave Gu Ning a resentful stare and then said, "Fine. You're tough! I hope you won't regret it later! Let's go!"

After saying that, he led that group of people away.

"Gu Ning, that Yan Yu is so powerful, after you offend her I'm afraid she will still find you in trouble." Cheng Ming said worriedly.

Gu Ning thought to herself, of course she didn't want to offend them either, but there was no way she could hand over those beads.

Just as the white wolf could blow up a fireball with a few shots, then these powers were not invincible either.

As long as she became strong, she wouldn't fear anyone.

She smiled distantly at the few soldiers over there with a nod of thanks. Then to Daoist Cheng Ming Jia, she said, "Let's go back first."

Back at the dormitory, Gu's father and mother were relieved to see that Gu Ning had returned safely.

Gu Ning comforted them for a while, saying that the zombies at the entrance of the school had been cleared away.

Then they walked to the next dormitory and started talking about what had just happened at the school gate.

Huang Mengyao and Xie Yuhong listened to Cheng Ming's description of how Yan Yu had turned into a fireball at that time, and both were a bit incredulous.

"Could she be able to do magic? Or is it some kind of supernatural power?" Huang Mengyao said.

"It's because of this." Gu Ning silently took out a transparent bead from his backpack and placed it in the palm of his hand.

Daoist Master Jia was the first to come over, "What is this?"

The other three also came over to stare at the bead, all waiting for Gu Ning to clear up their confusion.

"It was dug out from the brain of a zombie." Gu Ning said.

Jia Daochang, who had originally come closest, popped open at once: "What?!"

Gu Ning continued, "If I'm right, Yan Yu developed her powers because she swallowed this bead. There was also a little girl I met who also had other supernatural abilities, also because she swallowed the bead."

Daoist Master Jia raised his concern: "It was dug out from the brain of a zombie ... What if ... This what if after eating it there is no supernormal ability whatsoever and it turns into a zombie then what?"

"Daoist Master Jia, Cheng Ming, you should all have seen that the zombies are evolving. They no longer have stiff limbs, they can climb and run. If we don't get stronger, we can only become food in their mouths."

Gu Ning spread his palm, with four beads in his hand, then said, "The choice is yours."

The four looked at each other wordlessly, and there was struggle and hesitation in each other's eyes.

Huang Mengyao was the first to take them. Then it was Cheng Ming, Xie Yuhong, and then Jia Daoist.

Several people were silent as they washed carefully with water.

Daoist Jia muttered, "Should we use boiling water to eliminate the poison?"

Just as the four of them stood up ready to swallow.

A childish voice rang out abruptly from the doorway of the dormitory, "It's useless."

All eyes were instantly drawn to the dormitory.

Gu Ning looked at the people who appeared at the entrance of the dormitory and frowned slightly.

The two people who suddenly appeared at the entrance of the dormitory, one tall and one short, one male and one female, were none other than the two siblings Xiang Yi and Xiang Xu.

Xiang Yi said, "If one wants to stimulate supernatural powers, these transparent beads will have no effect, one must have coloured beads to be able to stimulate supernatural powers. And these transparent beads can only be and when the supernatural energy is severely depleted, the odds are not 100 percent." He said with a shrug, "Just like the unlucky bastard that I am. I've already eaten two beads and haven't evolved my powers."

The four people in the room were all stunned by this amount of information, and all subconsciously looked at Gu Ning.

Gu Ning silently finished digesting the information in the words, then looked towards the little girl Xiang Xu: "What about you? What colour beads did you eat before you evolved your powers?"

Xiang Xu replied, "Pure white." Her voice was clear and childish, but her eyes were calm, and the sparkle inside those eyes did not look like it should be all at this age.

Her dark eyes looked at Gu Ning and requested, "If it's possible, I would like to talk to you alone."

Gu Ning's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at her for a long time before giving a nod to several of the Jia Daoist Masters.

Although the few of Daoist Master Jia were all very curious about Xiang Xu, they could only all stand up and walk outside.

Then Xiang Xu walked in. Xiang Yi closed the door from the outside.

There was only Gu Ning and Xiang Xu left in the dormitory.

Gu Ning looked at Xiang Xu and said, "Say, what do you want to talk to me about?" In fact, the picture at this time was somewhat ridiculous, a girl in her twenties, with a young girl of seven or eight, both with very serious and calm expressions. If Gu Ning looked like this was perfectly normal, then a seven or eight year old girl showing such a look was really a bit precocious and strange.

Xiang Xu's dark eyes were like a deep pond at this moment, as she gazed at Gu Ning and spoke without being surprised: "I can see the future."

As these words spilled out of the girl's mouth, the calmness in Gu Ning's eyes finally changed a little.

"After I swallowed that white bead, I had a dream in which I saw a lot of things. I knew that these beads would later be called crystal cores, that the zombies would become more and more powerful, that even the animals would start to mutate, and that there was you." Xiang Xu looked deeply at Gu Ning, those eyes looked like a deep pool, and there were countless images flashing in that deep pool: "I saw you standing on a very huge tree, I saw your dazzling golden hair, I saw you running on a behemoth, I saw an ocean of green ... I always thought it was just a dream. But after seeing you that day, I knew that it wasn't a dream, but a future that I saw."

Gu Ning listened to her finish the last sentence, if her face could still remain calm her heart was already turning over in huge waves.

Crystal cores, zombie evolution, animal mutations, giant trees, a behemoth, a green sea ...

All of these things felt like they were bombarding Gu Ning's mind, causing her a great psychic impact.

Gu Ning couldn't make a sound for a long time because she didn't know what to say, asking her if all of this was true. Gu Ning didn't think she could make up so many things out of thin air, not to mention the huge trees and the green ocean that actually existed, and she had no motivation to make up these lies.

"That's why I must follow you." Xiang Xu looked deeply at Gu Ning with a bit of mystery in his voice: "This is a revelation given to me by the future."

Gu Ning looked at Xiang Xu's tender face and looked through her dark eyes into the deepest part of the pool, catching a hint of tension there that was very difficult to detect, and her unconsciously pursed lips gave away that she was not as calm as she wanted to appear.

But if one didn't look closely, this face, although childish, had an incomparably serious and calm expression.

Gu Ning couldn't help but think that, compared to Jia Daoist, Xiang Xu, who was only seven or eight years old, was in fact more of a competent divine wizard...
