Chapter 13: Fire
"Not yet!" An Cheng replied.
Du Jiujiu thought of An Cheng's use of nunchucks during the day, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Your nunchucks are so handsome, did you learn them in our school club?" ”
An Cheng laughed lightly, "Our school club practices are all showy, it's okay to be handsome, if you really fight, it's useless, this is what my brother taught me." ”
"Ah, you still have a brother!" Du Jiujiu was a little surprised.
"It's my cousin, we used to live very close, and I was very attached to him when I was a child, but he went to the army after he was admitted to college, and I haven't seen him for a long time." An Cheng sighed and continued, "Now that the world has become like this, I don't know when I want to see each other again. ”
"I'll see you again, your cousin is in the army, he must be safe, as long as we work hard to get stronger, we will definitely meet again!" Du Jiujiu comforted An Cheng.
"Hmm...... Stronger...... I wonder what my ability is, if everyone will awaken it, or if only some people will be able to awaken. I envy you and Sister Xiaoyun for having the ability to protect themselves. An Cheng's voice was filled with a hint of excitement and a hint of unease.
"An Cheng, you have to believe in yourself, you are so powerful without awakening now, and you will definitely be very powerful in the future, unlike me, I have no strength but no skills now."
Listening to Du Jiujiu's words, An Cheng couldn't help but smile, "Skills, just practice more, if you don't mind, I will accompany you every morning in the future." ”
"Really!?" Du Jiujiu was so excited that he almost didn't jump, "It's great that you're willing to teach me!" ”
"What to teach or not, we just learn from each other."
"Okay, then we'll make up our minds!"
With the expectation of tomorrow morning, Du Jiujiu fell asleep, but An Cheng failed to keep her promise.
When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into the bedroom through the thin curtains, Du Jiujiu jumped up from the bed excitedly, and after a simple freshening, she ran to An Cheng's bed and gently pushed her.
Who knows, An Cheng didn't react, and still fell asleep deeply. Du Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, and pushed a few more times, but there was still no response.
An Cheng ...... This...... It's not going to wake up, is it? Du Jiujiu looked at An Cheng in surprise and said to himself.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, "Open the door!" Xiaowen ,...... Xiaowen, she's not good! ”
Seeing Du Jiujiu open the door, Guoguo hurriedly rushed in and grabbed her hand, "Sister Jiujiu, come with me, Xiaowen...... Xiaowen can't wake up no matter how she screams, I don't know if she's sick! ”
"Guoguo, don't worry, you see, An Cheng was like this this morning, and he couldn't wake up even if he screamed. I guess they're going to awaken the ability too? Du Jiujiu grabbed the fruit that was going to pull her out.
Guoguo listened to Du Jiujiu's words, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then looked at An Cheng, and saw An Cheng also lying quietly on the bed, without any reaction, so he let out a long breath.
"Alas, I was in too much of a hurry, why didn't I think of this!" Guoguo patted her head in annoyance.
"Xiaowen is my best friend, we have played together since we were young, and we went to elementary, middle, and high school together. This year, we were admitted to the same university together and lived in the same dormitory, if she really had any strengths and weaknesses, I wouldn't be able to stand it! ”
"Don't worry, I'll bring Xiaowen over, and we'll guard them together."
"Great, Sister Jiujiu, thank you!"
Du Jiujiu carried Xiaowen to his bed, sat with Guoguo, and knocked melon seeds boredly.
Guoguo sighed, and muttered in a somewhat lost whisper, "You have all awakened your abilities, and I am the only one left, alas, what is the difference?" ”
Since Du Jiujiu woke up that day, it seems that her hearing has been getting better and better, and what Guoguo whispered was heard by her ears word for word.
Looking at the depressed Guoguo, Du Jiujiu couldn't help but feel a little funny, but still patted her shoulder and comforted, "An Cheng just told me last night why she hasn't awakened yet, but it's her turn today, don't worry Guoguo, it seems that everyone will awaken the ability, it's just a matter of time." ”
"I hope so." Guoguo got tired of the melon seeds and lay on the table listlessly.
Du Jiujiu is used to seeing Guoguo who is always in good spirits, and now she is a little unaccustomed to seeing her lost appearance. Just wanted to comfort her again, but suddenly heard a moan from Hu Xiaoyun's bed.
Du Jiujiu turned his head to look and found that Hu Xiaoyun had struggled to sit up, holding his forehead with his hand with a painful expression.
"What's going on? My head hurts so much......"
"Sister Xiaoyun, you're awake!" Du Jiujiu and Guoguo were very excited and gathered around Hu Xiaoyun's bedside.
"Do you remember that we encountered a mutant spider, and thanks to your awakened ability, we were able to escape." Du Jiujiu helped Hu Xiaoyun recall what happened before he fell into a coma.
"That's right, spider! How is it, is it dead? A frightened look appeared on Hu Xiaoyun's face, even if she awakened her ability, girls also have a natural fear of spiders.
"It's already burned to death by you, Sister Xiaoyun, can you still release flames if you try?" Du Jiujiu looked at Hu Xiaoyun with some expectation.
"Flames?" Hu Xiaoyun looked at his hands in disbelief, then closed his eyes, and slowly recalled the feeling before.
I saw a small flame jumping on Hu Xiaoyun's fingertips, Hu Xiaoyun looked at the small flame in his hand, couldn't help frowning, and injected more energy into his hand.
It wasn't until the flames turned to the size of a basketball that Hu Xiaoyun stopped injecting energy, and a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead.
"That's pretty much the limit, I'm a little dizzy." Hu Xiaoyun said, letting the fireball disappear in his hand.
"How so?" Guoguo was a little surprised, "I heard Sister Jiujiu say that your flames easily burned a spider that big that day!" Guoguo said as she drew a large circle with her arms.
"Maybe it was because my life was in danger that day that I overdrew my strength, after all, Sister Xiaoyun fell asleep for so long after that." Du Jiujiu said as he took out a bag of food and handed it to Hu Xiaoyun.
"Sister Xiaoyun, eat something, you've slept all day!"
Hu Xiaoyun took the food, and suddenly found An Cheng and Xiaowen also lying on the bed, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Why haven't they gotten up yet?" ”
"Guoguo and I woke them up this morning, but they couldn't wake them up, and we suspect that they may be waking up too."
"That's great! Our team is getting stronger and stronger now, so don't be afraid of encountering powerful monsters in the future! ”
Seeing Hu Xiaoyun's happy appearance, Du Jiujiu said with a wry smile, "Our food consumption is going to get bigger and bigger." ”
Hu Xiaoyun touched his stomach that he had eaten a lot of food, but still felt empty, and couldn't help but nod his head.
