Chang Kai tong was a little unhappy, truly just a little bit...
An Nuan smiled and said, "You've appeared at just the right time. Did you eat all thirty-odd crystals?"
[Just ate]
"Didn't get a stomachache?"
[...]
"Has your ability awakened? What is it?"
The screen was silent for a moment, then... completely went dark.
Fu Yunlei burst into laughter.
"Brother, Sister-in-law is asking if you're dead or not, she's so concerned about you!"
"Say one more word and I'll break your arm."
"Sister-in-law is also asking what your ability is, should we reply?"
"No need."
Fu Yunting himself didn't know what ability he would awaken in this life.
With the sun's dark spots and an ability, he wasn't even sure what he would become.
The only certainty was that this time, he wouldn't have to waste another six years searching for her.
Fu Yunting swallowed a crystal and continued to fuse and purify.
Fu Yunlei's head rotated 180 degrees backwards. Strange cloud formations began to descend from the sky outside the window.
"One, two... fifteen tornadoes. Are we going to be caught in it?"
"No."
"Tsk tsk tsk, brother, you're amazing. A 110-story building isn't threatened by tornadoes, much better than those shoddy constructions."
Nonsense!
Fu Yunting couldn't be bothered to talk to his foolish younger brother.
He had chosen to live in the newly constructed Fu Group building in advance precisely because he knew the tornadoes wouldn't sweep through here.
The Fu Group building was like the eye of a storm.
More than a dozen tornadoes scattered around the vicinity.
This place became a windless zone, and the clouds overhead remained still.
An Nuan's location was also outside the range of the tornadoes' destruction.
Fu Yunting had calculated all of this long ago, which was why he was doing nothing and letting her stay in the villa with peace of mind.
Fu Yunlei turned his body, admiring the doomsday scenery while munching on crystals.
An Nuan waited for a while longer. Seeing no more subtitles, she felt a little annoyed.
"Stingy ghost!"
"Xiao Nuan, what do we do now?"
"What else can we do? This great weather is perfect for lifting weights. Everyone, get moving!"
An Nuan led her companions in lifting weights and running until it was time for bed.
Everyone clearly felt the change in temperature and immediately activated the underground insulation layer to prevent the ice's temperature from affecting the upper levels.
An Nuan distributed thick quilts and blankets to everyone.
She slept with Luo Luo and the two cats, while her brother slept alone in the smaller room next door.
An Nuan gave him an extra blanket.
They were curled up in a circle by the cats, and Luo Luo looked at her with emotion.
"Xiao Nuan, if it weren't for you, how would I survive!"
"What 'if not for me'? None of us will disappear. Goodnight."
"Mm, goodnight..."
The next day, the strong winds escalated into hurricanes. In some places, tornadoes of various sizes appeared, sweeping up vehicles, trees, utility poles, and even houses, tossing them elsewhere to be smashed down.
Neither humans nor zombies were spared. Many were torn to shreds inside the tornadoes and turned into a muddy state upon hitting the ground. It was impossible to tell if they were zombies or humans anymore.
A car flew into An Nuan's yard, bloody inside. Only the clothes indicated the car owner was a man.
Luo Luo and Chang Kai tong witnessed such a spectacular and brutal weather phenomenon for the first time. They held a cat each, clinging tightly to each other.
Only An Nuan stood by the bulletproof glass window, munching on sunflower seeds.
"Luo Luo, look, waterspouts!"
Due to the continuous heavy rain, the city's water hadn't drained out. Now, encountering tornadoes, waterspouts formed in several places, creating a magnificent spectacle.
Luo Luo wasn't excited at all. She was scared! Seven or eight waterspouts, the oppressive feeling was too much for her to handle!
An Nuan also felt their fear. She drew the curtains and continued to train them in combat techniques and physical fitness.
From now on, besides eating and sleeping, their days would be filled with training their bodies and combat skills.
An Nuan would also take time to educate them about the creatures she had seen in her previous life. Unknowingly, she had drawn over a dozen creatures.
Time passed quickly. Seven days later, one morning, Chang Kai tong woke up and sneezed violently. Wrapped in his quilt, he came out and pulled open the curtains. The scene outside stunned him.
The world had turned a cold, icy white. The waterspouts were frozen into colossal pillars, propping up the sky and the earth. Inside, there were some dark shadows – remnants of things that had been swept away.
"It didn't snow, it just froze!"
"It won't snow now, it's just a rapid freeze."
"Sister Nuan knows so much!"
Chang Kai tong already knew An Nuan was a reborn person, but he was still amazed by her every time. The way he looked at An Nuan was like a dog looking at its owner. It always made An Nuan feel a little embarrassed.
*Zizi... zizi...*
"You little slut, can you hear me!"
An Nuan had bought a batch of walkie-talkies. To prevent communication disruption in such extreme weather, she had also installed signal equipment and purchased satellite channels. What was coming in now was radio waves.
An Nuan picked up the radio and smiled, "Uncle Er's life is really tough. He found me again so quickly!"
"Stop your damn bullshit!" An Dong cursed fiercely, "Little slut, you've gotten quite capable! You exposed my location and claimed I had supplies. Your skill in turning the tables is amazing!"
An Nuan looked bewildered. Luo Luo quickly used the computer to search. Although the broadband had no signal, the satellite signal was still working. Luo Luo immediately found the information online. An Nuan knew at a glance that it must have been the work of Hei Yan. An Nuan didn't want anyone to know about Hei Yan yet.
"Didn't Uncle Er want to expose my information too? We're even."
"Hmph, little slut, don't get cocky. I'm not someone those weaklings can deal with. Listen to who this is!"
Mo Shu's voice came from the radio. He seemed to have kicked someone, and the other person fell to the ground, refusing to make a sound. Mo Shu was furious.
"Damn it, I told you to speak, do you want to die!" Mo Shu picked up something and beat the person several times. An Nuan seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking. She uncertainly called out, "Hai Changfeng? Is that you?"
"Little slut, your ears are quite sharp." An Dong grabbed Hai Changfeng's head, "Come, say hello to your former leader."
"An Dong, you bastard! Sneaking up on me with mercenaries, what kind of man are you? Let's have a duel if you have the guts!"
"Who the hell do you think you are, worthy of fighting me!" An Dong slapped him.
"Little slut, I'll give you half an hour to get to the old mansion. If you're late, I'll strip him naked, hang him in the courtyard, and freeze him to death!"
"Director An, don't worry about me. This beast has no humanity. He's already killed more than ten people, he won't let you go!"
"Shut up!" An Dong smashed Hai Changfeng's head with the butt of his gun.
An Nuan heard a muffled groan, and then Hai Changfeng's voice fell silent.
"Good niece, remember, you only have half an hour. This weather won't allow you to delay. Hai Changfeng could turn into an icicle at any moment!"
