My Cherry Will Explode in the Apocalypse

Chapter 28 – Otaku Potential

Song Chengshu soon fell into a coma because of a high fever. Su Ruizhe also got a cup of vegetable and fruit juice to feed him, so as to help him suppress the attack of the zombie virus.

It wasn’t until six hours later that Song Chengshu woke up.

“Brother Song! You finally woke up?! What is it like? What is it like? How do you feel?” Zheng Jiahe, who had been watching nearby, asked anxiously.

Song Chengshu felt the power in his hand, and as soon as he raised his hand, a water stream appeared in his palm.

“Wow, it’s a water ability!”

“Oh?” Zhang Yun heard the movement and came down from the upstairs. “Good, there’s no need to worry about not having water to drink in the future.”

Song Chengshu is a little frustrated when he hears those words. Why is it that Yun is good at controlling gravity and has an attacking corrosion ability but when he gets one, how can he become a waste with a water ability?

“Maybe you can try to turn water into arrows to attack?” Su Ruizhe came out of the kitchen with lunch as he spoke. He had seen a water ability do that before.

Song Chengshu, with bright eyes, tried to condense water into a small water arrow and threw it in the direction of the wall.

However, when the arrow touched the wall, it immediately broke apart, leaving only a small pool of water on the wall…

The effect is no different from the water ball people used to play with when they were young. It has no lethality at all.

“Ha-ha-ha, don’t be depressed, eat first, I’m starving.” Zhang Yun laughed and walked towards the table.

“Eat, eat, eat! All you know is how to eat!” Song Chengshu indignantly condensed a small ball of water and threw it towards Zhang Yun.

Anyway, Song Chengshu’s ability are not so lethal, so Zhang Yun did not avoid it, but directly blocked it with his body.

“Hiss…” When the water ball burst on Zhang Yun, everyone thought that he only became wet by the water at most, but did not expect to hear a hissing sound from Zhang Yun.

“What’s wrong?” Su Ruizhe hurried over to check the situation of Zhang Yun. After pulling his collar apart, he found that his skin turned red. He touched the residual water on his clothes again, and unexpectedly found that the water was hot.

“What’s the matter?” Song Chengshu himself had a face full of confusion.

“Can you control the temperature of the water?” It was Zheng Jiahe who quickly found the key point.

Song Chengshu rushed to try again, but the water ball he condensed was still cold.

“It’s not working…”

“Then, how about you try to recall your mood just now? Were you a little angry?”

After Zheng Jiahe’s reminder, Song Chengshu found that it was really such a thing, he quickly thought of a person he hated very much, and then condensed a water ball.

This time there is no need to touch, everyone knows that the water temperature must be not low, especially looking at the white smoke already coming out of it!!

“Ha-ha-ha! God helps me too!!!!” Song Chengshu was so happy that his ability were somewhat useful at last.

“Well, it’s good. We don’t need to burn the water anymore. It’s hot directly.” Zhang Yun plays the role of a bad friend incisively and vividly.

“Hey! Say that to my face again!” Song Chengshu gave him a hard look.

“All right, eat fast. The food will be cold in a moment.” Today, Su Ruizhe made a big pot of bacon rice and red steak, and now everyone has an ability, of course, they need to eat more.

Although Su Ruizhe’s craftsmanship is not as good as that of the restaurants outside, it is still very good as home-cooked dishes. They eat a pot of rice and a large bowl of red-steamed ribs without raising their head.

After dinner, Song Chengshu studied his own ability while siting there. Zheng Jiahe and Zhang Yun were also idle and helped to make suggestions.

“Since the temperature of the water will rise when you are angry, maybe when you are sad, you can also lower the temperature of the water. When the water becomes ice, the hardness will increase and the lethality will also increase, right?”

Song Chengshu tried according to his words, and he really succeeded.

“Jiahe! How wonderful you are!” Song Chengshu was so excited that he wanted to embrace Zheng Jiahe and kiss him.

“Song Ge overpraised me.” Zheng Jiahe waved his hand and then said, “Actually, I think the water system is very strong. I have seen that kind of science fiction movies. There are also people who can control the water. They can make water prison, water shields, water guns and so on. Song Ge can also adjust the temperature of the water and change the shape of the water. Maybe he will become more powerful in the future?”

Song Chengshu really didn’t think of so many powerful uses of a water ability’s power, water speed can be controlled, water shield can be used for defending, water gun can attack, as well as including the freezing and boiling water, the effect will certainly be better!

“Good boy! What a good brain you have!” Song Chengshu laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

“Hey hey hey, I don’t have any other hobbies, just like watching movies and playing games, so there are more aspects of association.”

In fact, this kind of person, in other words, is called an otaku man…

But I didn’t think that an Otaku also has the use of knowledge.

“Hey, what do you say about A’ Zhang’s powers?” Song Chengshu nudged his chin in the direction of Zhang Yun.

Zheng Jiahe with a troubled look took a look at Zhang Yun, and when he saw the other side looking at himself with great interest, he became more nervous.

When he was in the supermarket warehouse, it was Zhang Yun who saved him. After that, Zheng Jiahe was very grateful to him. But he doesn’t know why, he always feels that there is an inexplicable momentum on Zhang Yun, so that every time he sees the other person, he wants to shrink his neck.

But as far as gravity is concerned, Zheng Jiahe really knows a lot as his major in S University is aerodynamics.

“I… I think…” Zheng Jiahe organized his words and said, “I think gravity ability has a lot of room for development, such as anti-gravity, gravity-free, pressure, repulsion, normal gravity and so on, as long as it is used correctly, it should be a very useful ability.”

Zhang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and began to think about the feasibility of Zheng Jiahe’s words.

“Enhance the gravity, forming a high gravity area, so that the enemy can not move freely in that area. Another example is anti-gravity, which would reverses your own weight and you may be able to take off into the air. It can also make objects lose gravity and float in the air. In addition, repulsion can also be used to deflect an opponent’s attack.” Speaking of his specialty, Zheng Jiahe became more and more excited and came up with a series of attacking and defensive methods using gravity.

I have to say that Zheng Jiahe’s words really open the door to a new world for Song Chengshu and Zhang Yun.

“What about the Corrosion Ability?”

“Corrosive Ability can attack in a single way, but you are a dual ability user. You can hide this power from the outside world and use it as a killer move.”

Zhang Yun nodded his head with deep approval.

Su Ruizhe also enjoyed listening. When he thought of his abilities, he could not help pulling Zhang Yun’s clothes lightly. He also wanted to know what kind of useful methods his abilities had.

Zhang Yun saw through Su Ruizhe’s small thoughts at a glance and nodded with a light smile.

“What about my Wood Abilities? Is there any powerful method that can be used”? Su Ruizhe quickly opened his mouth and asked.

“Ah?” Zheng Jiahe was stunned at this moment. “You have an ability?”

“Yes, he was the first one among us to awaken his ability.” Zhang Yun smiled and patted Su Ruizhe on the shoulder. “Xiao Zhe, let him see your ability.”

Su Ruizhe stretched out his left hand with a handful of green peas in his palm. Under Zheng Jiahe’s confused gaze, he shook his left hand and spread it out again a few seconds later. The original round green peas had turned into green bullets.

“This is a Wood Ability?” Zheng Jiahe thought that Su Ruizhe’s Wood Ability was different from what he imagined. “Can I see the bullet?”

“Of course.”

Zheng Jiahe took the emerald green pea bullet from Su Ruizhe’s hand. If you neglect the strange appearance of the bullet, you will think it’s a real bullet in terms of handle and hardness.

“Can it really work?”

“Didn’t you see the effect already?” Zhan Yun took out the gun pinned to his back and showed Zheng Jiahe the magazine clip. Sure enough, there was a row of green bullets in it neatly.

Zheng Jiahe looked at Su Ruizhe with the expression of 'I am surprised', and suddenly opened his mouth and asked, “Xiao Zhe, have you ever played the game Plants vs Zombies…”

Su Ruizhe blushed and nodded with embarrassment. In school, a small game is very popular among students. Su Ruizhe has played it several times with his deskmate’s mobile phone, which is probably the only game he has played in his life.

“What are the plants in the game you have here?”

Su Ruizhe thought about it and took out some cherries.

It shocked Zheng Jiahe once again to see Su Ruizhe take out fresh red cherries from nowhere. Isn’t that what he thought?

“Hey hey, Xiaozhe is also a dual ability user. He is a Wood and Space ability user. All the things we collect are in his space.”

“My God!” If it weren’t for fear of being killed by Zhang Yun, Zheng Jiahe would really like to rush over and hold Su Ruizhe’s thigh. With such a person, he would never have to worry about hunger in the future.

Zheng Jiahe felt that he had gone through a lot of good luck. First, he was saved by Zhang Yun while preserving his nineteen-year-old life and unexpectedly acquired an ability. When he asked to join their team, he wanted to repay his gratitude as well as the recognition towards their personality. Now he is extremely grateful for the original decision, these three people simply have an existence that is worth hanging on!!!

Zhang Yun patted Zheng Jiahe on the shoulder. “Don’t be too excited. You’re talking about how Xiaozhe’s ability can be used.”

Before Su Ruizhe upgraded his abilities, Wood Abilities could be used for farming, and Space Abilities were only used as porters and temporary warehouses. Both abilities had no attack power.

Later, he was promoted to a higher level with great difficulty. He had just discovered the ability to turn peas into bullets, and was sold by Chen Huizhen to the people of the institute. The Research Institute also focuses on the space where Su Ruizhe can plant, and does not care much about his ability to weaponize plants with his Wood ability.

After Su Ruizhe’s rebirth, he also wants to try to weaponize more plants, but somehow, it seems that only peas can turn into bullets.

If it hadn’t been for Zheng Jiahe, he would never have thought of such possibilities related to games…

“Xiaozhe, try turning cherries into weapons.”

Su Ruizhe grabbed the cherry with his left hand and tried to turn it into the kind of explosion in the game, but the cherry didn’t respond.

He put down the cherry in some frustration and began to doubt his ability.

But what did Zhang Yun think of? He ran into his room and took a Book down. It was a book about weapons, with many pictures on it. Zhang Yun turned to the page where some kind of explosives and bomb photos were posted, and put it in front of Su Ruizhe.

“You try it again.”

This time, Su Ruizhe succeeded! Originally only the cherry the size of an egg, in Su Ruizhe’s hands, turned into a bowling ball-sized red bomb.

“Success!!! Ha ha ha ha!! Xiao Zhe, you are so wonderful!” Song Chengshu rushed up and turned the book to the grenade page. “Quick, try chili!”

Su Ruizhe then took the chili pepper out of the space and successfully turned it into a big red hand grenade.

Oh wow, where is Su Ruizhe’s warehouse like space? It’s like a weapon depot! -in surprise

Not to mention the fact that the state is quite strict with the management of weapons, even in foreign countries, there is no easy way to get explosions, such as bombs, hand grenades, and any other explosive objects, Zheng Jiahe has an impulse to kneel down and worship….

The next moment, however, Su Ruizhe did another thing that shocked him. He grasped the bomb in his right hand and turned it back into a red cherry.

“I think it’s a little dangerous to have a bomb. In case of accidental explosion, it’s not good to have a bomb. When it’s needed, I can make it.” With that, he ate the cherry in his hand.

Eat! It! All! Now!

This cherry was just and explosive… Bomb!

Zhang Yun also helplessly supported his forehead. This little fellow is really innocent. But he also agreed with Su Ruizhe’s idea. It’s not really good to have a bomb. It’s better to put it away.

With the help of Zheng Jiahe, Zhan Yun, Su Ruizhe and Song Chengshu all have a general direction to develop their abilities.

“Then your ability…” Song Chengshu looked at Zheng Jiahe, but now it seems that Zheng Jiahe’s ability is one of the most common.

“Ha-ha, my ability is very good.” Zheng Jiahe smiled brightly.”Have you seen the movie called Hulk? It’s like blowing up the sky with your strength! In the future, my ability will become stronger, and I will certainly become infinitely powerful. Will I be afraid of these little zombies? If you encounter a locked door when collecting materials in the future, you don’t have to worry about it. And I see those doomsday movies and novels, the human heart is particularly unpredictable, you see my personality, I certainly did not expect that I would be a ability user powerhouse!”

All three of them could not help laughing. The more they got along with Zheng Jiahe, the more comfortable they felt. His straightforward personality was particularly pleasant. The key was that his brain was still working well.

The sun outside during the day was so hot that even the undead knew to hide in a dark corner instead of wandering in the street.

Turn on the air conditioner to the maximum, and a few people simply go to bed, keep their spirits up, and then go out for a walk in the evening.

They can hide in their villas safely, depending on the materials in Su Ruizhe’s space, so that they can eat and drink spicy food for a long time.

But now is the end of the world, whether they’re undead or human will become stronger and stronger, if they do not go out to fight, and not collect nuclei, their strength will soon fall behind people, what will happen then cannot be said.

It is not unreasonable to say that one is born of misery and dies of happiness.

However, instead of sleeping through the night, several of them were awakened by the heat.

They came down to check the air conditioning and other electrical equipment and found that there was a power failure.

Such a high temperature will certainly lead to the centralized use of electricity. In this case, it is absolutely impossible for power companies to continue to work normally. Without the maintenance of equipment by workers, urban power supply will be difficult. It is only a matter of time.

They believe that in a short time, even the water supply will stop, and human life will probably become more difficult.

Fortunately, they have Song Chengshu, a water ability user that can make ice, and they haven’t been tormented by the heat for too long.

Song Chengshu exhausted his ability to create four basins of ice, and put a basin of ice in each room, so that the temperature of the room dropped. But he was almost completely exhausted and went back to bed to sleep.

By the time they got up again, it was 9 p.m., and the whole city was in darkness, relying on the moonlight you can barely see the stiff walking zombies on the streets outside.

“Be careful when you go out later.” Zhang Yun distributed the torch to everyone and at the same time gave a warning.

After the blackout, survivors will soon begin to worry about the possibility of water shutdown and lack of food. In the face of a survival crisis, they will have to force themselves to face those cannibalistic corpses.

People who come out to collect materials this evening will surely become more and more, and when there are more people, all kinds of problems will arise.

For example, there will be more zombies attracted by the flesh and blood of living people, as well as possible conflicts between people…

In a word, tonight most definitely will not be quiet.

Several people still drove the BMW out to a nearby shopping street. On the way, they would pass a grocery store. They would go to the grocery store to collect some seasonings such as oil, salt, soy and vinegar, and by the way, see if there were candles and batteries.

Although many things were purchased at the beginning, they were mainly food and clothing, and groceries like this kind of things were not carefully collected. When they went to the supermarket the day before yesterday, They picked up some of them, but after all, the quantity is not much. This should not support them very long. They need to collect some more.

Sure enough, not long after the four set out, they found that there were many more people in the street, all in groups, with all kinds of weapons in their hands.

When they came to the grocery store, Zhang Yun found that other people were looking through it. It was a family of three. A middle-aged man was prying the door. Another middle-aged woman was standing guard with a kitchen knife in her left hand and a child in her right hand.

After Zhang Yun stopped their car, the middle-aged woman noticed them.

“We came first!” The woman waved her knife at them viciously.

Zhang Yun waved to her, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

In the apocalypse, it was not easy to take a child with you. Zhang Yun saw the despair in the woman’s eyes and the fear on the child’s face, so he simply left. There are so many shops that they don’t have to choose this one.

“Ah, that Internet Cafe…” When the car passed an intersection, Zheng Jiahe suddenly pointed to an Internet cafe on the roadside.

“What happened at that Internet cafe?” Song Chengshu asked strangely.

“I’ve been to that Internet Cafe before. There’s a small supermarket just behind the back door of the Internet cafe. There’s a lot of stuff in it. There must be salt, soy sauce, vinegar and so on… Why don’t we go and have a look?”

“But Internet cafes…” Many people go to Internet cafes in the evening. Who knows how many people there are in this Internet cafe on the night of the end of the world? What if they have to rush out of an Internet cafe full of zombies later?

“Rest assured, we can go around the back. The back door of the Internet cafe is always locked, even if there is a zombie, it will not come out for a while.”

“A’Zhan, what do you think?”

“Let’s go and have a look.” Zhang Yun made a very simple decision.

I am finally done with this chapter!! I was sick and couldn’t translate anything so I finally tried my best after getting a bit better.

The chapters are getting longer from 1k words to 3k and they seem to be even more from now on so it’ll take me a bit more time until I post them. I was even tempted to cut this chapter into two parts but I did it together anyway.

Thank you, Michelle and Kelly, for the support!
