Cold Storage

'System scan the surroundings' Xu Nuan said to the system. As the system is levelled up it has some more functions.

(Scanning the surroundings....In process...5 zombies of stage 2 in cold storage were detected, 50 zombies' stage 1 are detected in the cold storage outer area.)

Xu Nuan frowned that's more than she thought but she came prepared.

'System are there any humans inside the cold storage??' Xu Nuan asked. Cold storage has a lobby area so it's possible to have some humans hiding there.

(Human detected. 5 years old child hiding in reception area.)

Xu Nuan's frown deepened. 'A child huh' thought Xu Nuan and entered the cold storage through the back door.

"Yu ze and Yu ziye, both of you handle stage 1 zombies here. I will go inside and handle the rest. Once I am done, I will come here to help, till then you must hold on" Xu Nuan said with serious face.

"Okay sister, you go ahead. We will handle it here" said Yu ze and Yu ziye nodded.

Xu Nuan walked deeper and found the door of cold storage room. But suddenly fire ball was thrown to her and Xu Nuan nearly avoided it.

"Damn it!! It's Stage 2 ability zombie" Xu Nuan said and threw space blade at zombie. Then with space she teleported behind the zombie and slashed it with knife. Xu Nuan's space ability had evolved, and she could teleport but at close range not to far. But that was enough for now.

The zombie didn't die yet; Zombie moved to the side and then threw fire ball at Xu Nuan again. Xu Nuan use teleportation to avoid it and came face to face with zombies and used her hand to smash the zombies' head. It blasted open and zombie died.

Xu Nuan collected the crystal core and opened the door of cold storage cautiously. Remaining 4 zombies of stage 2 must be inside.

As to confirm Xu Nuan's guess as soon as she opened the door attack came. A sharp blade pierced the door behind her that she closed.

'Close call! If I hadn't been fast enough, I would have been pierced by that ice blade's though Xu Nuan solemnly and took out gun in one hand and sword in other.

As soon as Xu Nuan was about to explore with her mental power she met with a zombie who rushed to her in crazy speed, Xu Nuan teleported and avoided the attack and then used her thunder power to transmit into sword and slashed it mercilessly at zombie.

An instant kill. Before Xu Nuan could even breath two zombies rushed towards her.

Xu Nuan used her mental power but felt restrictions so she could only pause zombie for few seconds. But Xu Nuan acted quickly and used gun to aim at zombie's head and zombies head was blasted.

The other zombies who were rushing stopped and wanted to hide. Xu Nuan narrowed her eyes. 'Mental power zombie.' If Xu Nuan would have not level up to 2 then she would have died today because of her recklessness. She was able to pause those zombies which gave her chance to avoid on coming attack from another zombie.

Ice zombies seem to have played enough and used rapid ice blades Xu Nuan kept avoiding and closing the gap between two. While mental power zombie was hiding, he was not idle he was constantly trying to attack Xu Nuan's mental power.

'I can't take these constant attacks on my mental power for long time. I must quickly deal with this ice zombie' thought Xu Nuan as she reinforced her thunder power in sword and slashed at zombie's head, but zombie avoided it and used ice needles and threw at Xu Nuan.

Xu Nuan put gun back into space and used her mental power to stop the oncoming attack. The attacked stopped but Xu Nuan coughed the blood. Because of mental power zombies constant attack her mental power was weakened, and she still used it leading to this tragedy.

Xu Nuan wiped the blood on the corner of her mouth. And rushed towards ice zombie when she was in front of the zombie, ice zombie was about to attack her but at the last moment Xu Nuan teleported behind zombie and pierced her sword in zombie's head. Ice zombie died.

"That's sneaky b**tard!! I must quickly find him" said Xu Nuan through gritted teeth. She couldn't use her mental power much or else it will backfire.

"System scan the surroundings, activate x-ray vision" Xu Nuan said. And she soon was able to see through things.

Xu Nuan smirked and flashed behind the mental power zombie who was hiding and killed it with space blade.

Mental power zombies are easy to kill if you are in close combat but if they constantly attack your mental power and you can't find them then it's a disaster.

Xu Nuan collected three crystal cores and looked at the main cold storage ahead.

Xu Nuan used her physical power to break the iron door lock and cold air rush to her face. Xu Nuan looked at the food store. Her eyes dazzled.

There was lot of meat, vegetables, sea food.

"Hah, this was worth it!!" Xu Nuan said and with the wave of her hand she collected everything. Anyways these things will go bad once cold storage broke completely in two three days. Then why waste it.

If she wants to set a base in future, then supplies are most integral part. She must collect as much as she can.

Xu Nuan came out and saw two brothers almost defeated stage 1 zombies and were still fighting. Even though tired both of them were strangely excited.

So, Xu Nuan didn't plan to interrupt them and decided to watch from aside. Then from corner of her eye she saw small child, looking sneakily at Yu ze and Yu ziye, his eyes sparkling.

Xu Nuan thought of her mischief and smirked. She teleported behind the small boy. "Are they awesome???" Xu Nuan said and boy not paying attention nodded hastily but froze and looked at Xu Nuan. His face paled.

"Wh..who are you?? Do...don't hurt me.. please" Little boy begged his eyes teared.

"Hey hey, relax! I am not bad guy. I am with those two" Xu Nuan said hastily. She was not good at coaxing children. If he cried then she would be in trouble.

Small boy held back his tears and looked at Xu Nuan. "The...then sister wh..why did you scared me just now??" Small boy asked innocently looking aggrieved.

'What a cute boy' Xu Nuan thought. Little boy had tender and cute face, but he was dishevelled. His mouth formed a small pout when he was scared by Xu Nuan.

Xu Nuan rubbed her nose in embarrassment. She didn't mean to really scare the child. "It was not my intention, I am sorry. Btw what's your name??" Xu Nuan asked sincerely.

Little boy stopped crying and looked at Xu Nuan with big doe eyes. "My..my name is Xu Ning" said little boy.

"I see Xu Ning..Wait!! Xu Ning??" Xu Nuan exclaimed!

'Isn't this the name of a boy who became very powerful and another legend in apocalypse. He was only 9 years old when he was immensely powerful' Xu Nuan thought, surprised by sudden turn of events.

"How old are you Xu Ning?" Asked Xu Nuan, as to confirm her guess.

"I am five years old sister" said Xu Ning honestly.

'It looks like this is that little boy's Xu Nuan thought. Even though he was not Xu Nuan didn't plan to leave him behind here, alone!! Definitely not after looking at that cute way little one called her sister. Hey, its blessing to find such a obedient child you know!!
