Chapter 88: Chapter 87: The Power System Activation, Sky City
"Ru Yun, is that you?"
A bright voice came from the doorway as the previously closed door was suddenly pushed open.
Wei Le'er's lively figure appeared in front of them, holding a large bag of snacks.
"You guys..."
Upon entering and seeing the unexpected scene, Wei Le'er's face turned bright red, and she froze in place.
"Looks like our little secret has been discovered. Should we drag her into this?" Ye Zian whispered to Zhou Ruyun, his warm breath tickling her ear.
To his surprise, Zhou Ruyun nodded slightly, almost instinctively.
"Le'er, come over here."
Ye Zian spoke in a commanding tone, and Wei Le'er, caught off guard, walked over with a dazed expression.
Usually carefree, Wei Le'er was blushing furiously now.
"City Lord Brother."
Before she could react, Ye Zian kissed Wei Le'er.
Her mind went blank; her first kiss was taken just like that.
**Congratulations! All attributes +4, additional free attribute points +15. Please allocate freely.**
The others were still in a meeting, so they had plenty of time.
...
"City Lord Brother, I feel a burning sensation in my stomach."
Suddenly, Wei Le'er felt a wave of heat surging within her, causing her to panic.
Zhou Ruyun, having been forewarned by Ye Zian, recognized this as the beginning of awakening her abilities.
"Take a deep breath. This heat is normal; it means your bodies are awakening."
Both girls nodded obediently. They had heard such knowledge from awakened ability users before.
Soon, the burning sensation faded, and looking at each other's surprised expressions, they realized they had both become ability users.
Zhou Ruyun awakened the ability **Mental Probe**; she could scan the positions of nearby survivors and mentally lock onto enemies, sharing that information with her teammates. Although her range was only 70 meters, it was similar to Ye Zian's mental probing, just not as extensive.
Wei Le'er awakened the transformation ability **Catgirl**, a fast-paced melee transformation ability.
The two girls excitedly experimented with their newfound powers.
Leaning against the bedside, Ye Zian casually held a cigarette:
"Ru Yun, if you're willing, you can join Ru Yan's search team as a vice-captain. You two sisters working together will definitely unleash extraordinary power."
Zhou Ruyun was thrilled and leaned in to kiss Ye Zian, realizing that not only could she walk normally now, but her awakened ability would also help her sister.
Meanwhile, Wei Le'er was still dazed, wondering how she had ended up in this situation. But it felt surprisingly good!
Suddenly, a bright white light emanated from the Tower of Heaven, enveloping the entire fortress.
Ye Zian recognized this as a signal that the power system upgrade was complete.
In his mind, an interface for the fortress's defenses appeared.
It included functions for **Modification**, **Power System**, **Defense System**, and **Attack System**.
Currently, only the first two functions were activated.
**Modification** included the fortress walls, warehouses, villas, and other residences. As long as there were enough points, everything could be redesigned and rebuilt.
Ye Zian decided to dismantle the excess buildings in the fortress. Now, aside from a few villas where people still resided, most had moved to the residences within the Tower of Heaven, leaving the houses near the walls empty.
Taking advantage of this, Ye Zian merged the residences with the walls. The current fortress walls were now 15 meters wide, significantly enhancing its defensive capabilities.
Between the Tower of Heaven and the walls, only the warehouse, cafeteria, and a few other public buildings remained; the rest was reserved for future defensive structures once the defense system was activated.
Ye Zian sighed and muttered, "It looks like I need to expedite the hunt for zombies."
"City Lord, do you have any orders?" Zhou Ruyun asked, noticing Ye Zian's soft voice.
"Nothing much. Here are five hundred crystal chips for you two to share. They can enhance your abilities."
With that, Ye Zian prepared to head outside to see how the fortress was moving.
The two girls quickly scrambled to help him get dressed, and in the process, Ye Zian took the opportunity to enjoy himself a bit.
As Ye Zian reached the edge of the walls, he focused his thoughts, commanding the fortress to move toward a nearby open area.
With a violent shaking, the fortress suddenly lifted off the ground.
It resembled a sky city, floating fifty meters above the ground. As the Tower of Heaven's level increased, the height of the floating fortress would also rise.
"What's happening? Is there an earthquake?"
The crowd still in the cafeteria felt the ground shifting beneath them, their tables and chairs moving.
However, this was merely the fortress ascending for the first time; the interaction between the foundation and the fortress would stabilize after this initial lift-off.
The fortress's power system would automatically recharge for eight hours each day, and if it exceeded that time, points would be required to continue moving.
Ye Zian estimated that each meter of movement would cost him one point.
Zhao Wanrong steadied herself in the cafeteria and decisively ordered, "Everyone, quickly head outside to the open area for safety."
With Zhao Wanrong's command, the crowd began to orderly exit the cafeteria and make their way to the open space of the fortress.
In the midst of the chaos, Zhou Ruying suddenly remembered her sister was still in the villa.
Panicking, she activated her ability and dashed toward the villa area.
"Ru Yun, where are you?"
"Here, sis!"
Zhou Ruying looked up and saw Zhou Ruyun emerging from the villa alongside Wei Le'er, but their strides seemed a bit unusual.
Not thinking too much about it, Zhou Ruying excitedly grabbed Zhou Ruyun's arm and asked, "Sister, can you walk now?"
Hearing her sister's question, Zhou Ruyun shyly turned her head away, quietly saying, "City Lord Brother just helped me."
Seeing her sister's bashful demeanor, along with the unusual way she had run, Zhou Ruying sighed, torn between joy and concern.
But then she thought, it was the apocalypse after all; there was no need to be picky about such things. In hindsight, it was great that they wouldn't have to be apart anymore.
Ye Zian's voice echoed in everyone's ears, reassuring them, "You don't need to worry; this is just the fortress lifting off for the first time, and the shaking will not be this intense next time."
The panic among the crowd gradually subsided, and they curiously approached the walls to watch how the fortress ascended.
Zhao Wanrong watched in disbelief as the fortress floated in mid-air, moving toward the open area, a scene that seemed unimaginable for such a massive structure weighing tens of thousands of tons.
However, Ye Zian was not satisfied. He lamented, "It seems we're only moving at a speed of ten kilometers per hour. We need to upgrade the Tower of Heaven's levels to increase speed."
Estimating the journey from Xiacheng to the Empire of the East, he figured it would take about ten days if they didn't stop moving.
