"Hehe, my superpower is running really fast! I feel like I'm several times faster than our school's hundred-meter champion! And I can feel that this isn't even my limit. If I run at full speed, I feel like I could be like The Flash from the movies!"

"With me around from now on, big brother, you can just relax!"

Shen Su proudly lifted her little head, like a child waiting for praise.

Clearly, she was very proud of her ability.

As for being like The Flash, that was naturally an exaggeration, otherwise, her ability would be too monstrous.

"An ability to increase speed? Not bad," Shen Yi patted his little sister's head, giving his affirmation.

As expected, another new ability.

Could it be that because the abilities were different, the fruits also had slight differences?

For example, they glowed and emitted an alluring fragrance?

"Yeah! It's just that, I don't know what's going on with my superpower, but every time I run for a while, I get really tired and really thirsty, so I don't dare to use this superpower casually, and I don't dare to run at full speed. I'm afraid I'll run myself to death..." Shen Su said, pouting, a little troubled.

It was like owning a mountain of gold but not being able to spend it.

Clearly possessing a superpower but unable to use it at will.

Shen Yi understood. It was because his little sister's stamina was too poor, so she couldn't even unleash her full potential with her newly acquired speed ability.

In this situation, she could either get lucky and eat a Body Evolution fruit to increase her own limits.

Or she could level up her ability. Perhaps if her ability level increased, the stamina consumption from using it would decrease.

"Don't tell anyone else about your superpower," Shen Yi cautioned.

"Of course! I'm not stupid, and most of the time, I'm incredibly sharp!" Shen Su chuckled.

"If it weren't for you being my big brother, I wouldn't even tell you! After all, this is a superpower, just like in the movies. If bad guys found out, I'd definitely be captured and sliced up for research!"

"Alright, alright, you're the smartest."

Shen Yi ruffled the girl's head and said, "When there's a chance in the future, I'll see if I can help you solve the problem of using your ability being too tiring."

"Can this be solved?"

Shen Su, who was enjoying the head patting, suddenly had her eyes light up as she stared at Shen Yi upon hearing this.

Shen Yi nodded, "Yes, but it requires a certain amount of luck."

It would require finding a Body Evolution fruit to solve it, but that was like searching for a needle in a haystack, truly requiring a lot of luck.

Or, she could find another ability fruit of the same type that his little sister had eaten to level up her ability.

But based on Shen Yi's estimation, it would take at least seven or eight fruits to potentially increase the level by one.

That made it even harder!

Let alone finding seven or eight fruits of the same type, it was incredibly difficult to even find seven or eight fruits of different types.

"Hooray! I believe you can do it, big brother!" Shen Su happily hugged Shen Yi's arm.

This girl.

Shen Yi shook his head.

At this moment, Grandma also came out after finishing packing.

She didn't bring much luggage, just a small bag. He didn't know what was inside.

Shen Yi didn't ask and led his grandmother and little sister towards the car.

However, Just as they stepped out of the small courtyard, he saw several elderly neighbors surrounding his car. They looked like thieves, or perhaps just curious.

Seeing Shen Yi and the others come out, these elderly neighbors quickly greeted them with smiles, "Grandma Shen, is this your relative's car? It looks so nice!"

"Are your relatives from the city?"

Grandma also replied kindly, after all, they were all neighbors, and they saw each other often.

However, Grandma still emphasized that this was her grandson's car, bought by her grandson.

She even specifically pulled Shen Yi over to introduce him.

For elderly people, having capable descendants was something worth praising and showing off.

Because Shen Yi had changed so much, the few neighborhood aunties and uncles didn't recognize him at first. It wasn't until Grandma introduced him that they recognized him, and they immediately started greeting Shen Yi.

Shen Yi, feeling good about picking up his grandmother and little sister, responded with relative gentleness.

Then, the neighbors continued, "Uh, Shen kid, are you heading back to the city?"

"If you're going back to the city, could you take my grandson with you? I heard the city is safer now."

"And my grandson too. My grandson's parents are both in the city. Could you trouble yourself to give him a ride, Shen kid?"

The neighbors spoke one after another, all of them having something to ask.

Shen Su's little brows furrowed, looking a bit unhappy.

These neighbors, who usually liked to take advantage of small benefits, were now trying to take advantage of them again.

At this point, people were still trying to get his brother to risk his life to take their children to safety!

Some overly demanding neighbors even wanted Shen Yi to take their entire families to the city.

What kind of people are these…

Their relationships weren't even that close!

Even relatives wouldn't be so pushy, let alone mere neighbors!

Grandma's expression had clearly soured as well.

At this moment, Shen Yi calmly said, "There's no more room in the car, I can't take anyone else."

After speaking, he pushed through the crowd, opened the rear car door, and let his grandma and younger sister get in first.

However, some sharp-eyed villagers noticed that there was still plenty of space in the back of the car. So, holding their ten-year-old children, they squeezed forward and said, "Shen boy, there's still space in the back of your car. Just take Uncle and your nephew along, we can squeeze in."

"We're all from the same village. Now that we're in trouble, we should help each other. When your dad was alive, Uncle and he were very close. I even held you when you were little. You can't forget your roots."

"Get lost, don't block the way."

Shen Yi glanced at the man indifferently, pushed him aside, got into the car, and started the engine.

The villager who had been cursed at froze, then pointed at Shen Yi and began to curse him loudly.

Knowing they wouldn't get what they wanted, they dropped all pretense.

A few sensible villagers, realizing they couldn't get a ride, went home early.

But more villagers were cursing Shen Yi's family for being heartless, complaining about how good they had been to the Shen family in the past, and how now that his family had a car to escape to the city, they wouldn't help their neighbors…

Under the apocalypse, the ugliness of human nature was fully exposed.

Shen Yi's eyes turned cold, and he was just about to draw his gun.

Suddenly, He sensed a strong hostile intent.

Activating his Telepathy, Shen Yi instantly saw a very strong black aura in the grass about two hundred meters away.

It was a mutated giant snake, over ten meters long!

And it was rapidly approaching.

Shen Yi immediately put the car in reverse, stepped on the accelerator, and quickly backed away.

If anyone dared to block the car, he would run them over!

As Shen Yi sped away.

Several villagers were still standing there, bad-mouthing him.

They hadn't noticed at all that a giant snake had emerged from the grass.

By the time someone noticed, the mutated giant snake had already launched a deadly attack on the crowd.

The man who had been cursing the loudest while holding his son was the first to be targeted by the snake.

The mutated giant snake opened its mouth, larger than a human, and swallowed two living people whole, chewing vigorously before swallowing them down quickly.

"Ahhh! Giant snake! There's a giant snake!!"

The villagers screamed in terror and ran back to their homes.

But the mutated giant snake was faster than them. Its mouth spewed out balls of green poisonous mist, instantly engulfing all the villagers, who let out screams of agony…

Shen Yi couldn't see the horrific scene here.

But he could roughly guess what had happened.

The mutated giant snake's sheer size made him gasp; it was definitely not something an ordinary person could fight!

Even he wasn't confident he could fight it.

As expected, the mutated animals in the mountain village were even more terrifying than those in the city!

However, Speaking of danger, the atmosphere inside the car was actually the most dangerous right now…

Because ever since his little sister got into the car and saw a beautiful woman in the passenger seat, the smile had disappeared from her cute face.
