Title: A Fake Holy Mother in the Zombie Apocalypse
Translator: Little Bamboo Spirit
Chapter 80 - Do you think there's something a bit wrong with me? (2)
Something seemed to have hit the closed iron doors, and they slammed open against the walls. Almost immediately, a whole row of open aluminum alloy windows closed with a rattle.
There was no one by the door or the windows. The abnormal occurrence was scary. For this to happen under a gloomy darkening evening sky, it felt like the place was haunted.
The cafeteria was absolutely silent.
Everyone kept quiet out of fear. They all thought of the zombies that had fallen in the yard and the melted iron gate. They looked at Bei Nuan in horror.
Bei Nuan awkwardly smiled. "Um… it's probably the wind?"
She cleared her throat and said in a soft voice, "Actually, I think the first…"
The previously quarreling people were extremely well-behaved. They all stayed silent, so she didn't need to raise her voice to be heard.
Bei Nuan had listened to them arguing for a long time and had come up with a plan that all the groups could agree to. Various rules and regulations were passed under her supervision, each proposal took less than three minutes.
Bei Nuan thought; it was useless to patiently talk to these people. Scaring them into obedience was the better option.
And then, she suddenly realized - wait a minute, wasn't that Huo Ren's viewpoint?
The time, Bei Nuan took charge for real, and the meeting finally ended. She now felt that being a boss wasn't easy.
When the meeting was adjourned, Bei Nuan glanced at the progress bar. She was surprised to see that her holy mother value had gone up.
By a stroke of luck, her holy mother value had gone up because she had interfered and helped them pass a tolerable set of management regulations. She had only meddled in other people's business in order to eat ice cream sooner. It felt like a windfall.
After the meeting was over, they went to her room. The first thing she did was take out a big container of ice cream, a large bottle of Coke, a stack of small glass bowls, and a few spoons.
However, Du Ruo and Jiang Fei didn't come over. They were busy besieging Lu Xingchi.
Du Ruo very sadly said, "Lu Xingchi, how can you not tell me? We've been friends for so many years. I can't believe you would hide your ability from me."
Lu Xingchi remained unperturbed. "We've been friends for so long. I thought you would be able to notice it on your own very quickly. I can't believe you would be so slow about it."
Du Ruo: "..."
Du Ruo glanced at Bei Nuan, who was heartlessly digging a hole in the ice cream. He felt even sadder.
"Everyone else gained an ability in the apocalypse. Why am I left out? So unfair."
Jiang Fei comfortingly patted Du Ruo's back. He considerately said, "I don't have an ability either. I'll keep you company."
Jiang Fei couldn't resist his curiosity. He asked Lu Xingchi, "Is your ability controlling the magnetic field?"
Lu Xingchi patiently answered them, "No, it's directly controlling metal. My ability didn't used to be this strong. I don't know why, but it suddenly became stronger today.
Bei Nuan came over with her bowl of ice cream. "So then what can you do? Can you do whatever you want with metal?"
Lu Xingchi slightly smiled and said to Bei Nuan, "Look."
The spoon of ice cream in Bei Nuan's bowl suddenly flew up and hovered beside her mouth as if it was waiting to feed her.
Bei Nuan's face felt a bit hot. She opened her mouth and ate the ice cream.
Lu Xingchi slightly smiled. The spoon nimbly moved back a bit, turned, and stood up.
As if it was being stretched by an invisible hand, the spoon's handle gradually elongated and became thinner. The head of the spoon turned soft and melted into a small lump. Soon after, a metal petal came out of this lump, and then another petal, and another petal. Petal after petal were shaped out from the lump, until finally, a budding rose formed.
The rose floated forward until it gently stopped in front of Bei Nuan. The metal rose was outstandingly elaborate and looked like a real rose.
Bei Nuan accepted the rose. She was speechless.
Although she had seen him kill zombies with spikes countless times and also seen him melt the iron gate, she was still shocked by how precise his control of his metal ability was.
