Chapter 11: 009 News
Just past noon, Fang Yuxin's phone rang. She checked it and saw a message from her friend. The message said that a mysterious substance was found in the food residue; what exactly it was, the equipment couldn't yet determine. However, the DNA test results of the two samples she had sent proved that the individuals were sisters.
This result was not what Fang Yuxin wanted. In her dream, Fang Mengyao had said, "The real Fang Mengyao has long been dead," which had deeply troubled her. She had thought this Fang Mengyao was an imposter, but the fact proved that Fang Mengyao was indeed her sister. So, where exactly was the problem?
She called the other party, "Li Qingyun, I received the message. Thank you. By the way, when can the results for the mysterious substance be determined?"
The person replied quickly, "That's hard to say. The composition of this substance is very special; some components still can't be identified. I will keep looking and let you know as soon as we have something. From what we've detected so far, this substance likely has some inhibitory effects on the cells, but which aspects specifically, I'm not entirely sure."
Instantly, Fang Yuxin remembered the 'Suppressant' Fang Mengyao mentioned in her dream. Although Li Qingyun said he hadn't determined the exact results yet, she believed it must be the 'Suppressant'. According to what Fang Mengyao had implied, its function could likely be to suppress the awakening of superpowers!
Fang Yuxin tried to keep her tone calm, "If it's too much trouble, then don't bother with further testing. Thank you for this, Li Qingyun. I'll treat you to dinner sometime."
Li Qingyun didn't ask further and politely ended the call.
Fang Yuxin checked the time, drove to the supermarket, and had someone move all the shelves and goods to the supermarket's own warehouse. The warehouse was not small, but it looked packed after storing everything.
After sending the workers away, she moved everything in the warehouse into the space's storage room, including the freezers, leaving nothing behind. Only then did she lock the door and leave the supermarket.
Since the supermarket had closed, she had taken back the keys to the warehouse and supermarket from the employees, so she wasn't worried about someone sneaking in and discovering everything was gone.
Emptying the supermarket had taken quite some time. By the time she got home, it was already seven in the evening. When she entered, she saw Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe sitting in the living room, though Fang Jintang's complexion looked exceedingly grim.
Fang Yuxin didn't bother to go to her room to shower and change but went straight to sit down, asking Fang Jintang, "Dad? What's wrong? Why do you look so upset? Has something happened?"
Fang Jintang leaned his head back on the sofa, looking exhausted, "Yaoyao has sold the house and vanished. When I called her, she said she was traveling to clear her mind and told me not to look for her. Calls after that just went straight to voicemail. This child... why on earth would she sell a perfectly good house in such a great area?"
He had told Fang Mengyao when he bought that apartment for her that he wouldn't buy her another. He wasn't exactly lying, but he was also worried about Fang Mengyao being deceived at such a young age. Yet, he hadn't expected that just yesterday he had given Fang Mengyao a million, and she had turned around and sold the house! What on earth did she want so much money for? And after selling the house, where did she plan to live?
Fang Yuxin had already found Fang Mengyao suspicious, and upon hearing this, she became even more alert and asked, "Dad! Did she ask you for money yesterday? How much did you give her?" She hadn't planned to ask this question, but now she felt she had to.
Fang Jintang said indifferently, "She asked me for ten million yesterday, but I gave her one million, and she turned and left." As he reached the last few words, his tone carried a hint of mockery.
Fang Yuxin and Qu Qianhe were both startled upon hearing this; they hadn't expected Mengyao to dare ask for such a large sum! Fang Jintang also found it laughable—his children's total allowance throughout their lives didn't even amount to a million! Qu Qianhe was strict with the children; she never gave them extra pocket money. Both Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang had to earn their own money.
The most expensive gifts he and Qu Qianhe had ever given their children were high-performance cars for each on their eighteenth birthdays, and occasionally, Jade for Fang Yuxin, but that wasn't often—it really depended on the occasion.
Fang Yuyang and Fang Yuxin had been sensible from a young age, never asking for things directly. If they liked something, they generally saved their own money to buy it.
Seeing his distressed look, Qu Qianhe moved to sit closer and patted his hand to comfort him, "Let it be, whatever she wants to do, she's an adult now. You can't keep controlling her, can you?"
Fearing her father would worry, Fang Yuxin thought for a moment then said, "Dad, Mom, you might not know, but the flu going around is quite severe now. Online, they're even saying it's the end of the world. Maybe Xiao Yao saw something like that and thus decided to sell the house and gather funds to buy supplies?" After she finished speaking, worried they might not believe her, she specifically took out her tablet, pulled up the post she had shared, and showed it to them, "Look, I saw this post online today."
Initially, Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe were skeptical about her mention of the apocalypse, but their expressions changed slightly after reading the content of the post. The post spoke authoritatively, almost convincingly, as if the end of the world was truly imminent.
The post that Fang Yuxin shared actually contained reserved information. She only mentioned that the current flu was, in fact, the Zombie Virus; people running a high fever were actually undergoing a transformation, turning into zombies or superpower users. She also roughly described the types and characteristics of zombies and superpower users.
In fact, on the day of the apocalypse, a meteorite would hit the Earth. This meteorite had appeared suddenly, going undetected by global monitoring satellites initially. Once it entered the atmosphere, it would split into countless fragments, some of which contained a mysterious Crystal Stone; not all fragments contained these Crystal Stones, thus those that did were called Elemental Stones, and the stones themselves were called Elemental Crystals.
Elemental Crystals came in various types; once absorbed by Ordinary People, they could awaken corresponding superpowers. Superpower users could only absorb Elemental Crystals of the same type, although they couldn't evolve new superpowers, they could enhance their talent.
Since individuals varied, the talent of superpower users who awakened superpowers also differed. Those with poor talent would have weak superpowers and couldn't Cultivate powerful Skills, limiting their potential achievements. However, those with good talent could possess powerful superpowers and even had the chance of understanding powerful Skills, leading to boundless future achievements.
In that bizarre dream, only Fang Yuyang had awakened a superpower in the Fang Family because he wasn't home when Mengyao took the Suppressant; he was on a business trip. His talent was quite good, but unfortunately, it was later ruined by someone!
Now, Fang Yuxin knew that the events in the dream might indeed occur; all she could do was prepare early and protect her family well! As for Mengyao, if she ever dared to play tricks and harm her family again, Fang Yuxin would never let her off!
Just then, Fang Yuxin's phone rang. Seeing the name on the caller ID, her emotions instantly became extremely complicated.
It was actually... him!
