"My assistant will take you to your room to rest. The fried chicken you want will be sent over soon. Perhaps you can watch some TV shows in your room!" the person in charge said with a friendly smile.
"Alright, make it quick. I'm starving!" Xiao Bai said, rubbing her stomach.
As she passed the pool of blood on the ground, her expression didn't change at all, as if she was accustomed to such things.
The assistant, already pale with fright, dutifully led the way, not daring to say a word. She was now a little scared, realizing she had dared to say so much to Xiao Bai in the elevator. If she had said something wrong, there might have been another pile of bloody remains on the floor.
The two walked in silence and took the elevator to the resting area. The floor here was carpeted, and the decoration was in line with the standards of a five-star hotel.
"Do all your service staff have supernatural abilities?" Xiao Bai suddenly asked.
"Supernatural abilities? Of course not. Those with abilities are extremely precious in this world, naturally superior beings."
"The service staff here are all ordinary humans," the assistant replied cautiously.
"But... why was someone following us the entire time?" Xiao Bai pointed to the empty corridor.
"Good heavens, Little... Sister Xiao Bai, don't scare me, I'm timid. There's no one here!" The assistant strained to look down the corridor, but indeed, there was nothing.
"Oh, right, I forgot, you can't see!" Xiao Bai then realized. In the apocalypse, survivors' strength had greatly increased, and those who could speak with Xiao Bai were all powerful. Detecting invisible creatures was as easy as pie. Therefore, Xiao Bai subconsciously assumed that the assistant beside her could also see invisible beings.
"What? See what?" The assistant was still confused.
Then, Xiao Bai's figure flickered, and she instantly appeared more than ten meters away. She then grabbed something with her right hand and dragged it back. Although Xiao Bai clenched her fist, there was still nothing in it. As the assistant got closer, she noticed indentations on the carpet. It seemed as though something invisible was indeed being dragged behind Xiao Bai.
"Could it be... the Invisible Man?" the assistant exclaimed in surprise.
"Heh, that's right, it's me. I just wanted to play a little joke on the new little sister," the invisible man said urgently. "I didn't expect her to be so strong... Alright, I admit defeat. Let go of me now, my hair is almost pulled out!"
"Being invisible in front of others, that's an ambush!" Xiao Bai said coldly, clenching her fist even tighter. "If I hadn't found you, you probably would have already prepared to kill me!" If the Invisible Man hadn't been invisible, his hair would likely have been seen breaking and falling out strand by strand. In Xiao Bai's environment, monsters and hostile survivors in the apocalypse treated others as if it were a life-or-death struggle. Therefore, she instinctively assessed the Invisible Man according to the survival rules of the apocalypse.
This statement terrified the Invisible Man. Although he was a scoundrel, he didn't have the courage to kill people casually. At most, he wanted to sneak into Xiao Bai's room to spy on her privacy, thereby satisfying his peculiar desires.
"No, no, I definitely didn't think that!" the Invisible Man quickly explained. However, he couldn't explain further, as sneaking into someone's room to spy on their privacy wasn't something to be proud of.
"This... I think... the Invisible Man just wanted to play a joke on you... After all, he's very strong, and his skin is as tough as diamond, impenetrable by blades or guns... I think..." The assistant's intention in saying this was to subtly remind Xiao Bai that the Invisible Man was very strong and it was better to resolve conflicts peacefully. It would be best to take the opportunity the assistant provided to de-escalate the situation, allowing both parties to reconcile, which would be beneficial for everyone.
However, before the assistant could finish speaking, there was a 'plop' sound! The carpet and the wall were both stained red. This time, the red spread even wider, dyeing nearly half of the corridor.
"What diamond? It doesn't seem that hard!" Xiao Bai shrugged. Xiao Bai could sense that this guy had malicious intent towards her. Therefore, the Invisible Man was doomed the moment he was discovered. However, he wouldn't have died so miserably originally. Because of her previous lesson in the deep sea, Xiao Bai knew she needed to be gentler with her strength. But the assistant's mention of being "impenetrable" ignited Xiao Bai's competitive spirit. And so... the Invisible Man died even more miserably than the Deep Sea dweller. In the face of absolute strength, the power of supernatural abilities seemed to make no difference.
"Ah!" The assistant screamed in fright.
"Someone like you wouldn't last a day in the apocalypse!" Xiao Bai shook her head and then pushed the door open. The key was still in the assistant's hand... This... But it didn't matter. The purpose of a door lock was to prevent others from intruding intentionally or unintentionally, ensuring the resident's privacy and safety. With Xiao Bai's current strength... anyone who dared to intrude would be sending themselves to their deaths. Even if the door was wide open, there was an invisible lock that prevented people from approaching easily.
"Oh, this big bed is so comfortable!" Xiao Bai immediately jumped onto the soft, large bed and rolled around excitedly. One moment she was a ruthless killer, and the next she was like a little girl. The assistant was completely at a loss for what to do. After saying a few perfunctory words, she quickly ran away. She didn't dare to take the path she came from because it was already stained with the Invisible Man's blood. She left through another safety exit. Soon, the carpet in the corridor was replaced, the walls were repainted, and windows were opened for ventilation. By evening, everything was as good as new. At this time, Ancestral Man and the female warrior had returned to headquarters and had also learned about Xiao Bai. She had slapped Speedster to death and punched Deep Sea and Invisible Man to pieces. The Seven-Man Squad had lost three members in an instant.
"This newcomer is quite interesting, but she seems a bit unclear about who's in charge here!" Ancestral Man narrowed his eyes, hands on his hips, pacing back and forth in the room.
"You've always been the captain of the Seven-Man Squad, that's undeniable. As for those three scumbags who died, they weren't very good people to begin with," the female warrior said with a smile. "Moreover, it's conceivable that they provoked the new girl first. They brought it upon themselves, so you don't need to be angry about this!"
"What? Are you begging for mercy for that newcomer?" Ancestral Man walked right up to the female warrior's face, causing her to retreat repeatedly.
"I have to teach this newcomer a lesson, otherwise, she'll think that everyone in our Seven-Man Squad is like that trash!" Ancestral Man declared and then strode towards the floor where Xiao Bai was.
