Chapter 17: Visual Enhancement, Lin Xiaoxiao's Yearning to Return Home

Enhancing vision! Strength, speed, stamina, spirit, and now, vision.

Ye Feng smiled.

He loved this steady, tangible sensation of growing stronger!

He took out the scroll.

Tore it open.

A streak of blue light flowed into his eyes.

Ye Feng felt a slight sting, then slowly closed his eyes to adapt to the new power.

After a long moment.

He opened his eyes again and sensed the world around him had undergone a dramatic transformation.

Surveying his surroundings,

Every detail in the bathroom was crystal clear.

The patterns on the tiles, the dust on the floor, strands of hair on the wooden comb…

Everything was vivid, sharp, and fascinating.

Ye Feng stepped out of the bathroom and entered the living room.

He walked to the window and gazed far into the distance.

Through the blood-red mist, Ye Feng could see even farther.

The teeth of zombies, overturned vehicles, shattered glass…

Everything seemed within arm’s reach!

He murmured to himself,

“This feeling is wonderful!”

The enhancement was complete after his “fishing” session.

Ye Feng turned around.

At that moment, Lin Xiaoxiao had already polished off all the food on the table.

A true hero doesn’t ask about the source; when it comes to food, quantity doesn’t matter!

Lin Xiaoxiao leaned back in the chair, full and content, her ample curves occupying most of the seat beneath her.

Ye Feng approached from behind, gently lifting her glossy black hair and wrapping his hands softly around her pale neck.

Feeling Ye Feng’s warm breath, Lin Xiaoxiao lightly grasped his large hands.

“Ye Feng, I feel so happy, it’s like a dream…”

“Maybe I’m already starving to death, and all this beauty is just a fantasy before I die…”

Her beautiful eyes glazed over as she whispered to herself.

“Fool… this is definitely not a dream…”

Ye Feng smiled and effortlessly lifted Lin Xiaoxiao into his arms...

...

Two and a half hours later.

Ye Feng lay on the sofa, his expression relaxed.

“This is the life worth living!”

He sighed deeply.

Turning his gaze to the window, night had fallen.

“Xiaoxiao, can you cook?”

“I can... but I’m not skilled, only simple home-cooked dishes.”

Lin Xiaoxiao leaned against him, her demeanor lazy and soft.

Ye Feng’s heart lifted.

“Perfect! I just want some fresh vegetables!”

Lin Xiaoxiao blinked, instinctively replying,

“Ye Feng, where can we find fresh vegetables nowadays...?”

Before she could finish,

Swish, swish, swish!

A large pile of vegetables instantly appeared on the dining table.

Tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, green peppers...

Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Wow!”

She stepped forward and casually picked up a cucumber.

“Wow! It’s so big and thick...”

“So fresh and juicy... Ye Feng, how did you do this?”

She looked at him, eyes full of astonishment.

Though she knew Ye Feng was a spatial ability user...

These vegetables appearing out of thin air still made her heart flutter.

Ye Feng smiled but said nothing.

Rustle, rustle!

Scallions, ginger, garlic, dried tofu...

More items appeared on the table.

“Oh my God! These vegetables are so fresh, almost like they were just picked!” Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes sparkled.

“Ye Feng, how did you manage this? Are you some kind of creator?”

“I never imagined I could still eat such fresh vegetables.”

Lin Xiaoxiao was visibly excited.

Ye Feng offered no further explanation, merely waving his hand gently.

“Go ahead and cook!”

“I’m really hungry!”

“Had I known, I wouldn’t have eaten so much earlier...” Lin Xiaoxiao muttered, gathering the vegetables and heading to the kitchen.

Ye Feng lay back on the sofa and opened his phone to browse messages.

Soon, a post caught his attention.

“Everyone, look! Are zombies mutating?”

Under the post was a short video.

In the video, a two-meter-tall zombie covered in white fur was crouched on the ground, incessantly tearing and chewing on a corpse...

“Oh my God, that’s definitely a mutation!”

“Zombies are mutating, and I don’t even have any abilities yet...”

“Is there any hope for us? Let’s just destroy everything… haha!!”

“...”

Ye Feng’s eyes flickered with surprise.

Mutated zombies had already appeared at this point?

In his previous life, pressed by survival, he hadn’t paid much attention to such news.

He began searching online and found that others had encountered similar zombies.

There were power-type mutated zombies, speed-type mutated zombies, and even mutated beasts...

These zombies were far stronger than ordinary ones; for most people, encountering them meant certain death.

Ye Feng put down his phone, his eyes filled with thought.

Mutated zombies were the elite among zombies.

If normal zombies that produced crystal cores could be called first-tier common zombies,

Then mutated zombies were first-tier elite zombies, far stronger.

Most importantly, the crystal cores produced by mutated zombies were highly valuable.

“At this stage, zombies are all zero-tier, about as strong as ordinary humans.”

“Zero-tier common zombies don’t produce crystal cores; I wonder if these elite zombies have them...”

“Are there mutated zombies in Jiangcheng now? If so, I could go hunt them down...”

Ye Feng searched but found no reports of mutated zombies in Jiangcheng.

After a moment, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen.

“So fragrant!”

“This feeling is just like yesterday!”

Ye Feng twitched his nose and sighed inwardly.

Soon, the table was laden with food.

Tomato scrambled eggs, cold cucumber salad, carrot and ham stir-fry, green pepper scrambled eggs, scallion fried dried tofu...

The two sat down and began to eat.

“Delicious!” Ye Feng praised.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked a little embarrassed.

“Ye Feng, I know my cooking isn’t great, but I’ll try harder!”

She knew her culinary skills were lacking.

Ye Feng didn’t mind and ate most of the food.

Lin Xiaoxiao had eaten too much earlier, so she could only nibble a little.

After the meal,

Ye Feng took out the cherries he had “fished” earlier.

A ten-pound box of cherries, plump and shiny with fresh green stems.

“Here, let’s have some fruit after the meal,” Ye Feng smiled.

“Ye Feng, why didn’t you bring these out sooner? I really can’t eat anymore now,” Lin Xiaoxiao pouted.

After eating some cherries,

Ye Feng and Lin Xiaoxiao returned to the bedroom to rest together.

“Seems like I forgot something?” Ye Feng frowned.

Lin Xiaoxiao clung to him like a sticky bun, her delicate body pressed tightly against his, murmuring,

“Ye Feng, you’ll protect me, right?”

“Of course.”

“Ye Feng, you’re so good...”

“Mm, yes.”

“Ye Feng...”

“...”

Ye Feng responded absentmindedly.

Not long after, Lin Xiaoxiao fell into a deep sleep.

Ye Feng looked at her stunning face, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

“This girl is quite something... pure of heart, and yet so contrasting. Her personality, looks, and figure don’t match at all!”

He turned over, settled into a comfortable position, preparing to rest as well.

“I should sleep too!”

“But I still feel like I forgot something...”

Ye Feng pondered quietly.

After a long while,

He slapped his thigh and suddenly jumped up.

“Damn it!”

“I left Xiaobai at home!”
