The End of the World: Start with a Book, All Superpowers Depend on Reading

Chapter 23 My Eldest Lady



Night fell, but the curtains had a good light-blocking effect. The lights in the house were bright but did not see outside.

[Detected that the host was familiar with "Basics of Metallurgy", extracted the supernatural power "Metal Control" fragment +1, Metal Control Fragment: 3. Reward reading value: 100 points. ]

[Host's current reading value: 2541 points. ]

The familiar system prompt sounded, Wang Mingyang closed the book and rubbed his swollen eyebrows.

"Brother Mingyang, it's the end of the world, why are you still reading?"

Three balls of dark flames formed geometric bodies were jumping in Su Yu's palm. After more than an hour of practice, this girl could actually control the dark flames to this extent.

Sphere, cube, triangular cone, although the three geometric bodies are still slightly distorted in some parts, they are generally complete. And in the past ten minutes, Su Yu has kept the three geometric bodies from collapsing.

Wang Mingyang's mouth twitched slightly. Is this girl's talent so scary?

In his previous life, when Wang Mingyang was at the second level, he obtained the freezing technique from "Three Hundred Children's Songs".

At that time, it took him a whole day to control the energy of the freezing technique to shape it, and he was able to control the freezing technique to form a cube...

You know, ice-based superpowers are the most suitable for shaping among all superpowers.

Even so, it took Wang Mingyang a day to do it.

Although his superpower talent is relatively poor, the energy he has after awakening is definitely not comparable to what he has now.

But among the people he knows, Su Yu's talent is also one of the best.

"Learning never ends. Although superpowers are surreal things, they can still be connected with previous knowledge. Reading more books may help you understand more about the characteristics of your own abilities..."

Wang Mingyang was talking nonsense seriously. If it weren't for reading to obtain reading points and extract superpower fragments. With his poor nature, how could he take the initiative to read books? That would be asking for trouble!

But now Wang Mingyang has to torture himself, which is the basis for his continued strength in the end times.

"Oh, that's right, I'll read more in the future..." Su Yu tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded seriously.

Wang Mingyang's mouth twitched slightly, sister, I read books because of the benefits, you still take it seriously...

But Wang Mingyang thought it was good, he used reading to gain knowledge as a cover, at least no one knew he had a golden finger.

He walked to the door and looked out through the cat's eye. The door of the opposite room was closed, and there was no movement in the corridor.

After a moment of hesitation, Wang Mingyang sat down on the floor against the door, and several silver beads in his pocket floated out, and began to twist and deform in front of him.

While practicing the ability to control metal, Wang Mingyang's thoughts gradually dispersed...

In the opposite house, two hours passed, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and it was pitch black outside.

There were only two wall lamps on in the living room, which seemed a little dim.

Zhao Ding looked at the locator on the coffee table that was still flashing red, and slowly lit a cigarette, his eyes flashing in the smoke.

Mu Ningxue doesn't like the smell of cigarettes, so the bodyguards around her basically don't dare to smoke.

Zhao Ding usually endures it, occasionally hiding aside to smoke, and then he has to spray himself with some freshener and add a stick of chewing gum to remove the smell.

But for the generous salary that arrives on time every month, he doesn't care.

At this moment, Zhao Ding has no mind to care about these things, and all kinds of emotions in his heart make him irritable.

The rescue has not arrived yet, Zhao Ding doesn't know if it will come. Two hours have passed, and it is likely that it will not arrive...

A few hours ago, he still liked this job very much. Every day he accompanied the beautiful lady who was like a fairy, and the other female bodyguards around him were also very beautiful.

Such a day is simply heaven for Zhao Ding.

But Wang Mingyang's words made him suddenly realize that such a paradise would never return...

Feeling the great power in his arms, Zhao Ding suddenly murmured to himself: "Perhaps, this is another paradise?"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Ding took a deep puff of cigarette, extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand on the coffee table, took off his straight suit and threw it on the sofa.

Zhao Ding pulled off his tie, unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, and then slowly rolled up his sleeves.

After rubbing his palm on his thigh for a while, Zhao Ding slowly got up and picked up the locator on the table. The red dot of the locator flickered in his eyes...

After a while, Zhao Ding slowly walked to the door of the master bedroom, held the door handle tightly and slowly pressed it down, and the door of the master bedroom opened quietly.

Zhao Ding pushed the door open and stood at the door, calling out in a low voice: "Miss...Miss?"

The dim light in the living room shone in through the door. On the big bed in the middle of the master bedroom, Mu Ningxue's enchanting figure was covered by a thin blanket, looking hazy and seductive.

Zhao Ding waited for a while, but Mu Ningxue did not give him any response. He slowly stepped back, and the door of the master bedroom closed. The light went out, and the bedroom became dark again.

A faint exhalation sounded, and Mu Ningxue's tense body under the thin blanket slowly relaxed. Her eyes opened in the darkness, with uneasiness, fear, anxiety and hesitation in her eyes.

Her white and tender hands tightly grasped a dinner knife, and her fingers had begun to turn white. As she exhaled a long breath, she slowly loosened it.

Mu Ningxue was not asleep. An hour ago, Zhao Ding did not knock on the door, so she guessed that the rescue should not have arrived.

But two hours passed and Zhao Ding still didn't come to inform her. Besides the low roars of zombies, there was no sound of any helicopters outside.

Mu Ningxue was desperate, and rescue was unlikely to come.

What made her even more desperate was that Zhao Ding opened the door! But he didn't knock on the door, but opened the door directly. This behavior would never have happened before.

But Zhao Ding did it.

Mu Ningxue was a smart woman. When she was alone, she repeatedly pondered the meaning of Wang Mingyang's words.

Facts proved that Wang Mingyang was not wrong. The status and majesty that money once brought were gone at this moment.

What's more terrifying is that she, who had lost everything, was now alone with a man who had gained new power!

Mu Ningxue's heart was up and down. She had been trained by her father since she was a child, and she had countless workplace leadership skills in her mind, but they were useless in the end of the world at this moment.

She knew very well how tempting her delicate body was to others.

Zhao Ding, who had just been transferred to her side not long ago.

At that time, the eyes that drifted towards her from time to time were mixed with hidden animal desires and greed.

Mu Ningxue had already noticed it.

Originally, she wanted her father to transfer a female bodyguard.

Unexpectedly, the end of the world came...

And Wu Li, who had been with her for five years, turned into a zombie in the first place, leaving only her and Zhao Ding alone.

Thinking of this, Mu Ningxue felt countless goose bumps all over her body.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe just a few minutes.

“Bang!”

With a muffled sound, the door suddenly opened and hit the wall directly. Zhao Ding’s tall figure appeared at the door. The light in the living room cast his shadow directly on Mu Ningxue’s bed.

“My eldest lady... It seems that rescue will not come...”
