Cooking Gourmet Meals in the Apocalypse

Chapter 288: Chapter 285: How Cooperative is Chen Xing?

Sensing something was wrong, Chen Xing immediately entered her space.

The moment she entered her space, the feeling of being controlled vanished.

’They have a special Spiritual Ability User!’

Chen Xing left her space as quickly as she could.

’I can’t let them think I’ve disappeared. If they leave, how can I keep absorbing their superpowers?’

When she reappeared, Chen Xing deliberately made herself seem mentally drained.

They soon fell for the trick.

Leading a large group, they entered her building.

They were being cautious, however. Not all of them came in, leaving a portion of their group in the hallway.

The Spiritual Ability User was a woman—tall and slender, with a head of curly golden hair, making her quite captivating.

Even without her Spiritual Ability, who wouldn’t be smitten by such a beauty?

Convinced that Chen Xing was already under her control, she walked in completely defenseless.

The people behind her were more cautious, since they hadn’t experienced the effect for themselves.

A dozen or so people filed in one after another.

Chen Xing had been standing, but to confuse the Spiritual Ability User, she was deliberately feigning a dull, witless expression.

Seeing that enough people had entered, Chen Xing suddenly shot her hand forward.

With a forceful pull, a dozen streams of superpower were simultaneously ripped from their bodies and drawn into her own.

The Spiritual Ability User was instantly dumbfounded.

Her control ability had reached the Seventh Level. She could handle people with no effort, and even confronting a Spiritual Zombie was a piece of cake for her.

Otherwise, where did all those zombies that had besieged Song Yiguo come from?

And yet, she had failed to control a single Superpower User?

The Superpower Users who had followed them in saw the people in front collapse one by one. They immediately fell into formation to attack Chen Xing.

But Chen Xing was a step ahead of them; she shot her hand out and yanked it back.

Another dozen Superpower Users had their superpowers taken away.

The remaining Superpower Users retreated in a panic.

Chen Xing casually conjured a black vortex, sweeping away those who no longer had superpowers, then immediately leaped out the door. She shot her hand out and pulled back, and a dozen more Superpower Users dropped to the ground.

In that instant, two-thirds of the Superpower Users were now powerless.

The Superpower Users who hadn’t yet had their powers taken didn’t know what was going on.

All they knew was that their comrades had fallen.

’We were supposed to be the ones with the upper hand. How did we lose our advantage in the blink of an eye?’

In their moment of hesitation, another dozen Superpower Users fell.

The remaining group of less than twenty Superpower Users scattered in an instant.

But Chen Xing’s absorption power could even work through walls—who was to say she couldn’t, when she had an Earth Ability?

In a flash, another dozen Superpower Users lost their powers.

Only a few Superpower Users were left. Those with Invisibility Abilities turned invisible, and the rest hid themselves away.

As far as Chen Xing could see, there was no one left.

”What kind of monster are you?” Even this deep into the apocalypse, some people still believed that ghosts and monsters existed.

Otherwise, how could they explain what was happening now?

Every single person in their group was a top-tier elite from a national team.

But in front of her, they were nothing more than the lowest of the low.

They couldn’t even withstand a single one of her attacks.

She took them down in droves.

Chen Xing had no time to waste on them and immediately conjured a black vortex beneath their bodies.

Meanwhile, the Superpower Users hiding in the shadows were having a hard time.

The scene was absolutely terrifying.

With a soundtrack and special effects, it would be a scene straight out of a horror movie.

One Invisibility Superpower User had already gone down the stairs and was hiding on the floor below Chen Xing.

He immediately called his superiors. ”The Chen Xing we’re supposed to capture—”

The words had barely left his mouth when he felt his body go limp and he collapsed.

The moment he spoke, Chen Xing had pinpointed his location.

Even after collapsing, he refused to give up. He crawled forward, trying to grab the satellite phone to finish his report.

Just as his hand was about to touch the phone, it vanished from the ground and instantly appeared in Chen Xing’s hand.

At the same time, the Earth Element Superpower User hiding inside a wall let out an involuntary gasp.

He recognized that skill; Cadar used to be able to do that, too.

’After Cadar died, everyone thought the ability to retrieve objects from a distance was gone. Why does she have it?’

’And her black vortex—wasn’t that Cadar’s as well?’

These thoughts came to him after he had already collapsed to the ground.

The moment he cried out in surprise, the superpower in his body became Chen Xing’s.

Chen Xing didn’t kill the two of them right away. ”Do you know where your companions are hiding?”

”You killed Cadar and took her treasure?” As someone from the United States, the Earth Element Superpower User couldn’t hold it in.

”If you don’t tell me where the remaining three are hiding, I’ll blow this place up right now!”

”Our Blake Commander will not let you get away with this!”

”I’ll count to three. One...” Seeing that they weren’t talking, Chen Xing lost her patience.

”You don’t even have a bag on you. Where would you get a bomb?”

With a flick of her wrist, two grenades appeared in Chen Xing’s hand.

’They were all about to die anyway,’ she thought, unafraid of them seeing.

In their astonishment, the three Superpower Users hiding in the shadows revealed themselves at once.

They were the much-envied Invisibility Superpower Users, but their weakness was that they couldn’t withstand any physical attacks.

If the building were to be blown up, they would die for sure.

’Better to end up like the others!’

Chen Xing didn’t hold back. With a powerful thrust and pull of her hand, she ruthlessly drained them completely.

A fear of the unknown began to creep into their hearts.

Losing their superpowers was one thing, but they had no idea what would happen to them after being swallowed by that darkness.

Having dealt with nearly one hundred people, Chen Xing didn’t remain idle.

She had roughly calculated that there had been about 120 or 130 people in the group that ambushed her.

This group had been a hundred people, at most.

So where had the others gone?

’Or... are they waiting for the next update from this group?’

’It’d be best if they’re nearby, so I can absorb them all in one go.’

Chen Xing deliberately set a fire in the building, but the other twenty to thirty people didn’t show themselves.

Since the fire didn’t draw anyone out, Chen Xing decided to just stay put.

She slept for a while, and it wasn’t until early the next morning that more people arrived.

And this new group wasn’t just those twenty or thirty foreign Superpower Users.

There were also three hundred Superpower Users from the North, led by Yu Laosan.

And you should have seen how smug Yu Laosan looked.

In his eyes, there was no escape for Chen Xing this time, so he didn’t bother to hide his expression.

The brutish muscles of his ferocious face twitched.

”You were lucky Song Yiguo was here yesterday. Let’s see you try to escape today!” The thought of his elites dying at Song Yiguo’s hands was a real pain in the ass for Yu Laosan.

And it was all thanks to Chen Xing.

That was why, left with no other choice, he could only cooperate with the United States.

His only thought was to capture her first and deal with the rest later.

He never expected to actually run into her.

This group had been waiting to capture Chen Xing. With all their comrades missing, they had no choice but to cooperate with Yu Laosan when he came knocking.

”If you come with me obediently, I might consider helping you take care of these people!” Yu Laosan had always been a man who put his own interests first.

He never wanted to share what he could have all to himself.

”Then I’ll go with you, and you can help me take care of these people!” Chen Xing replied, being ever so cooperative.
