Chapter 85: Transcendent? Isn't it as simple as having hands?

Chapter 85: Transcendent? Isn't it as simple as having hands?

"Squad Leader, can you control those curtains with your telekinesis?" Chen Ye smiled, breaking the silence.

Prompted by his words, Tang Zichen immediately emitted a green light.

Telekinesis activated!

With a casual wave of her hand, the curtains were all forcefully pulled down by an invisible power.

The sunlight from the setting sun immediately streamed in through the windows.

"Ah!"

From a distant corner on the second floor, there suddenly came several terrifying and agonizing screams.

Then, several humanoid monsters swiftly emerged from their hiding places and fled towards the third floor.

Everyone witnessed that when the sunlight shone on these monsters, they quickly began to emit smoke and sizzle, as if being burned.

Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes lit up.

Rena couldn't help but ask, "Are these monsters afraid of sunlight?"

"Ultraviolet light should scare them too!" Chen Ye added.

"So," Zhao Huanhuan chimed in, "Chen Ye, did you only ask me if I knew how to make ultraviolet lamps and immediately look for a supermarket upon entering because you knew these monsters fear light?"

Rena looked surprised. "Chen Ye, how did you know that these monsters fear light?"

Others also looked at Chen Ye curiously.

"It's quite simple!" Chen Ye started weaving a serious-sounding explanation. "When I saw the monster patterns in the fifth passage, I noticed that their skin was severely withered and rotten, with a hint of grayish-white color, which clearly indicates prolonged lack of sunlight exposure leading to such consequences. From this, it can be inferred that these monsters are light-sensitive, and ultraviolet light is intense and has some radiation. Even ordinary people feel uncomfortable with prolonged exposure, let alone these monsters."

This was an excuse Chen Ye had prepared in advance.

Let's not worry about whether it's logical or not.

At least it's convincing!

After hearing this, everyone felt a sense of inexplicable admiration for Chen Ye.

"You discovered all this just by looking at the monster patterns?"

"No wonder the squad leader said you have extraordinary insight and that we should listen to you..." Rena sincerely exclaimed, "Chen Ye, you're truly amazing!"

This girl is the most innocent and easily deceived.

Zhao Zheng smiled, "Chen Ye, I finally understand why the squad leader thinks highly of you. Your observational and judgment skills are indeed impressive."

Cao Yu gave a thumbs-up. "Chen Ye, you're the man!"

Even Zhao Huanhuan joined in the cheers, "Brother Chen Ye, amazing!"

Even though Chen Ye's thick-skinned, he felt a bit embarrassed at the moment.

What insight does he have!

It's all relying on memories from his past life.

"I suspect you're bluffing! That's about enough..." Chen Ye quickly changed the subject, "Let's hurry and find what Huanhuan needs. As long as we have the ultraviolet lamp, we're good to go for this round!"

"Does having the ultraviolet lamp mean we can get the best reward, or even extra rewards?" Rena asked.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Extra rewards are something they've all dreamed of.

"I won't say for certain, but with the ultraviolet lamp, at least we'll be unbeatable," Chen Ye smiled, "The chance of getting extra rewards is also very high!"

As soon as he said this, everyone was full of enthusiasm and immediately set out to search.

Chen Ye quietly approached Tang Zichen and whispered, "Squad Leader, I have a question I've been wanting to ask you..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Zichen suddenly became a bit nervous, her pretty face showing a mix of anticipation and hesitation.

"Go ahead!"

"It's just, why do you always wave your hand when you release telekinesis? Telekinesis is an extension of your mental power, so you should be able to use it without moving, right?" Chen Ye asked earnestly.

Tang Zichen was first astonished, then somewhat annoyed as she said, "You're asking about that?"

Chen Ye, puzzled, replied, "What else?"

The girl pursed her lips, then said helplessly, "Yes, I can use telekinesis without moving. Waving my hand is just a subconscious habit."

"Oh, I see!" Chen Ye chuckled, "Thanks for letting me know, Squad Leader."

Tang Zichen's pretty face returned to calm, and she ignored him, focusing on finding what they needed.

...

This supermarket is quite large.

And they have a wide variety of items.

In just a moment.

Everyone found all the things Zhao Huanhuan needed.

This girl also demonstrated remarkable ingenuity... in front of everyone, she transformed a few ordinary flashlights into ultraviolet flashlights.

She's quite skilled.

As for batteries, there are carbon dry batteries in the supermarket, unopened and well preserved.

Although carbon dry batteries don't have great endurance, there are plenty in the supermarket!

When the quantity reaches a certain level, it can compensate for the quality shortcomings.

Soon.

Everyone had two ultraviolet flashlights in their hands.

One for regular use, and one spare.

In addition, Zhao Huanhuan also made some other shapes of ultraviolet lamps to prevent the flashlight from running out of light in special situations.

"Chen Ye, where do we go next?"

Cao Yu asked.

After what just happened, everyone basically recognized Chen Ye's abilities and implicitly accepted him as their leader.

Chen Ye looked up, glanced at the setting sun about to descend, and said, "We're going to spend five days in the secret realm this time. Killing monsters isn't urgent; let's first find a safe place to settle down!"

"That's a good suggestion!" Ren Qianqian smiled, "I suggest a five-star hotel; we can stay comfortably, and there's no one here anyway."

No one else spoke, waiting for Chen Ye's opinion, but they were all somewhat tempted.

However, Chen Ye shook his head and said, "Five-star hotels are only suitable for temporary rest, definitely not for overnight stays."

"Huh?" Ren Qianqian quickly asked, "Why?"

Chen Ye thought for a moment and said, "I'm sure you all noticed just now, those monsters would hide and observe us in the dark, and after being exposed to sunlight, they immediately fled into the darkness... These behaviors indicate that the monsters we're facing this time are intelligent."

"Faced with intelligent opponents, we need to be extremely cautious."

"It's possible that they'll use tools to attack us."

"And five-star hotels are usually tall buildings, making escape difficult. If those monsters set fire to us while we're sleeping, wouldn't that be dangerous?"

This wasn't Chen Ye talking nonsense.

Nightmares in movies do have intelligence; they even set traps to trap the protagonists. If it weren't for the protagonists being blessed with a halo, they would've been done for long ago.

Facing such opponents, Chen Ye naturally wouldn't take it lightly.

Upon hearing Chen Ye's words, everyone suddenly realized.

Then, they once again showed admiration towards Chen Ye.

"Don't look at me like that. It's getting dark soon; let's think about what kind of place would be suitable for us to settle!" Chen Ye said.

Everyone discussed it.

In the end, everyone agreed that a villa would be excellent. It's convenient for evacuation, and generally, the surroundings of villa areas don't have tall buildings, so there's no need to worry about monsters attacking from above.

Most importantly, the environment in villas is also very good.

Who would want to live in a dirty and messy place?

As for whether they would be besieged by monsters?

With ultraviolet lights in hand, plus the fact that these people are basically all skilled, they're not afraid of being besieged by monsters.

This time, Chen Ye didn't object to everyone's suggestion.

Coincidentally, there's a map in the supermarket, and on the map, there's a villa area.

After confirming the destination, everyone went to the first floor, packed some non-perishable food and water, and set off towards the villa area.

Walking on the street.

I don't know if it's an illusion.

Everyone felt as if countless pairs of eyes from the houses on both sides of the street were staring at them!

These gazes were full of malice!!
