XG 168 - The zombie looked like an overturned cockroach

The increase in her power allowed her shadow to be more solid with more details. Even the shadow rope attached to her could be thinner to be least obvious. Based on her current mood, it took on a form of a tiger head to chase after the zombies.

Among the fighters, there was a particular person with a familiar frame who fought exceptionally well. Wong Xue Guo's eyes would frequently follow his back as he swiftly brought down zombies with a sword, herding them away from breaching into their base even further in.

Wong Xue Guo found herself admiring this guy, and even entertained a moment of picking this guy as a potential teammate. But this guy certainly likes loose-fitting clothes.

Won't he find it hindering his movement?

Just then, the guy suddenly changed his direction, giving her a nice view of his face.

Shit. Chen Yibo?!

She made a mistake without thinking that the different styling could be due to gene activation reasons. Chen Yibo does not like wearing tight-fitting clothes, and so now with his weight loss, his clothes looked baggy on his frame. Not to mention his clothing, why could she not recognize his sword?!

The admiring gaze slipped away so quickly like it was never there before. Her head turned away unnaturally to cut off any chance of eye contact.

With Chen Yibo out here, it means that he was now an Awakened person. There was no display of his ability so far, but it should be powerful if he needed a cap to hide his hair.

She could use him to experiment with her ability, but she does not want to approach him first to break the awkwardness between them. Not to mention, he might not have enough nutrients to be tossed around.

Wong Xue Guo approached one of the twins, the one that could repel the zombie away. "Would you allow me to test something on you? The good thing will be that your ability strengthens, and the bad thing will be having mild symptoms similar to after undergoing the Awakening process."

Before Scot Lang could answer, someone else had already robbed him of the chance. "Can I volunteer?"

Chen Yibo finally approached her after taking down most of the zombies inside the base, letting the guards have an easier time barricading the hole temporarily. The other ability users were also doing their best to help with their abilities.

Wong Xue Guo's expression subtly changed. Meeting his eyes, she asked, "What's your ability?"

Expression of someone pondering over something, Chen Yibo once again tried to read Wong Xue Guo's mind.

Nothing.

He could read the others but it was total silence from her. Could it be that he could not read the minds of stronger Awakened people?

Currently, Uncle Charles and Vihaan could be considered the strongest among the Awakened rank. He could only test his theory when they return.

Right now, the strongest Awaken person he had met was undoubtedly Wong Xue Guo.

"Mind reading," Chen Yibo answered truthfully. "Please keep it among ourselves for now."

As his words finally registered, everyone's expression shifted, turning guarded and avoiding eye contact.

The one with the least resistance reaction was Wong Xue Guo, whose face was coloured light pink. "So you can read my mind...?"

"For unknown reasons, I can't read yours."
