5: Chapter 5 I am the chosen one.
Ye Fan and the others' destination...
...was his own home, as well as Li Yang's home.
In his own refrigerator, there were still some snacks and bottled water stored.
As for what was in Li Yang's house, that remained to be seen.
However,
As the son of a wealthy family in Jiang City, Li Yang's home supplies should be quite abundant.
Furthermore,
Now that Li Yang had turned into a zombie and been dealt with by Ye Fan,
His house was naturally a very cost-effective spot for scavenging.
If it weren't to pursue Ji Yuyan, Li Yang would never have rented an apartment here.
Ye Fan led Ji Yuyan to the fourth floor, which was where Li Yang's home was located.
"Do you have his keys?" Ye Fan asked, looking at Ji Yuyan beside him.
"No, I've only been with him for two days. How could he possibly give me the keys?"
"Fair enough!"
Ye Fan said no more.
Bang!
He delivered a powerful kick directly to the door, making a loud noise.
But the force didn't seem to be enough, as Li Yang's door didn't budge.
"Hmph," Ye Fan snorted coldly, saying with some surprise, "I didn't expect this door to be so sturdy."
Immediately after, he followed up with another kick.
Seeing this, Ji Yuyan spoke up softly, "Ye Fan, if we make such a big commotion, won't it attract other zombies?"
"What's there to be afraid of? With me here, if one comes, I'll just chop one down," Ye Fan said with a face full of confidence.
He then continued to kick the door violently.
Under Ye Fan's fierce assault, Li Yang's front door finally couldn't hold on any longer.
It was kicked open by Ye Fan.
"Damn, whose house bought this door? The quality is so good, it wore me out."
Ye Fan slowly walked into Li Yang's home, complaining as he went.
"It just shows that the merchant had a conscience! Unlike some merchants whose products are like tofu dregs, breaking with just a little effort," Ji Yuyan quipped as she walked behind Ye Fan.
"True. I wonder if their consciences would ever hurt."
"You're thinking too much."
While talking, the two of them had already reached the spot where Li Yang's refrigerator was kept.
Ye Fan casually opened the fridge.
In an instant, all kinds of fruits, snacks, and drinks filled the refrigerator's cooling section.
"Holy crap! As expected, rich people are different—so many snacks," Ye Fan exclaimed, looking like he had never seen the world before.
He then quickly shifted his gaze to the freezer section. "I bet this part is full of high-end stuff! Like sea cucumber, bluefin tuna..."
Ye Fan rubbed his hands together, his face full of anticipation as he carefully opened the lower compartment of the fridge.
The next second,
Ye Fan froze on the spot.
The freezer section was completely empty; there wasn't even a single scrap in it.
Much less any sea cucumber or bluefin tuna.
"Wait, there's nothing here at all," Ye Fan said, looking confused.
Ji Yuyan said slowly from the side, "It's quite normal for there to be nothing inside. Rich people like them, how could they possibly cook at home?"
Ye Fan reached out and stroked his chin. "That's true!"
Indeed, the lives of the wealthy were just different.
Ye Fan didn't say anything more.
What he was thinking now was to pack up everything in the fridge and take it all away first.
Looking at so many items in the fridge, Ji Yuyan said in a low voice, "With so much stuff, we'll need to find a large bag to fit it all, right?"
"No need."
As he spoke, Ye Fan gave a light wave of his hand toward the items in the fridge.
The numerous items in the fridge instantly vanished, all of them collected into his system storage space.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yuyan was instantly stunned on the spot, her eyes wide and her face full of disbelief.
"This... these things disappeared? I'm not seeing things, am I?" Ji Yuyan quickly rubbed her eyes.
When she looked at the fridge again and found it was truly empty, she was convinced she hadn't misseen.
"Ye Fan, how did you do that?" Her small mouth was slightly agape, her face full of shock as she slowly turned her head to look at Ye Fan beside her.
Ye Fan gave a faint smile. "What's so strange about that? To tell you the truth, I am actually the child of destiny of this world. This is my newly awakened Supernatural Ability: Storage."
Of course, this was all nonsense Ye Fan made up.
"How about it? Am I awesome or what?"
"Uh, a Supernatural Ability? Like the kind written in those novels?"
"That's right!"
The shock in Ji Yuyan's heart felt as if it were about to overflow from the screen.
A Supernatural Ability?
That was something that only appeared in novels or on TV.
To think that Ye Fan had actually awakened a Supernatural Ability.
This... this was simply too incredible!
Ji Yuyan stood frozen on the spot, silent for a long time.
Then she slowly spoke, "That's right... even things like zombies have appeared, so what's so strange about having skills? This world really has gone too crazy."
Afterward, a bitter smile appeared on Ji Yuyan's face.
"Remember, you must keep this a secret for me; it must never be spread. Do you understand?"
Ye Fan's expression turned cold as he turned to look at the still-dazed Ji Yuyan and spoke in a deep voice.
"Yes... yes, I understand."
Only then did a smile reappear on Ye Fan's face.
Afterward,
Ye Fan quickly searched around Li Yang's house for a while and found another unopened case of bottled water.
With a light wave of his hand, that case of water was also taken into his Storage space.
Following that,
Ye Fan walked toward where Ji Yuyan was. Seeing she was still in a daze, he waved his hand in front of her and called out,
"Hey! What are you still spacing out for? Let's go."
"Ah~, okay," Ji Yuyan snapped back to her senses and quickly replied.
As they spoke, Ye Fan had already stepped out of the apartment.
Ji Yuyan quickly moved her legs and hurried to catch up with Ye Fan, following closely behind him.
She was very afraid.
Afraid that a zombie would suddenly crawl out from somewhere and she wouldn't be able to handle it.
Therefore, she only felt a sliver of security by staying next to Ye Fan.
"Ye Fan, where are we going now?"
"To my place first. I still have some supplies there that I need to scavenge."
"Oh!"
Just then,
Clang!
A crisp sound came from behind Ye Fan and Ji Yuyan; it was the sound of glass shattering.
The two of them, who had already reached the stairwell,
Instantly turned their heads at this moment.
"Where... where did that sound come from?" Ji Yuyan's body instantly stiffened, and she spoke in a low voice.
Ye Fan also lowered his voice and said softly, "It seems like it came from the room next door. There's someone inside."
"That's not right! We made such a big commotion just now, and you didn't hear any sound coming from that room?" Ji Yuyan quickly moved closer to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan stroked his chin and said darkly, "Could it be that what's inside isn't a person?"
"Ah!"
Ji Yuyan felt her scalp tingle and took a few more steps back.
"Ye Fan, don't scare me."
Seeing this,
Ye Fan immediately broke into a grin and said smugly, "What's there to fear? I told you, I'm the child of destiny. If it really isn't a person, I'll just wipe it out."
As he spoke,
Ye Fan put on a fearless front and swaggered toward the room where the sound had come from.
