Chương 188: Chapter 100: Invisibility?

Ksssh... Ksssh...

"Dage!! Did you leave the house!?" Zoe's excited shout came blaring through the walkie-talkie, startling Vince, who was dozing off while leaning against the headboard, instantly waking him up... He picked up the walkie-talkie and said lazily:"Yeah, I left the house... I left the country... over."

"Huh...?" Zoe's voice came through in disbelief, but immediately after, it seemed Cody grabbed the radio.

"Vince... You guys must be exhausted from watching over Zoe all night. Get some more rest, it's nothing major. It's just that Seth... he's acting a bit strange..." Cody's voice sounded somewhat hesitant.

"Seth has a superpower too! He can turn invisible!" Zoe's voice shouted from the walkie-talkie.

"Huh? Ah..." Vince was taken aback for a second, but suddenly remembered he had indeed fed the boy a crystal last night. Since Zoe got superpowers, Seth awakening an ability after a night's rest was fully within expectations.

"You guys eat something first, I'll be right up..." Vince tossed the walkie-talkie aside and checked the time. It was already past eight. He had originally planned to get up anyway, and Zoe's commotion had instantly woken him up completely. Beside him, Claire was also woken up. She slipped out from under the covers, stretching lazily. The thin blanket slipped from her chest, exposing a patch of snow-white skin. Vince immediately reached over with wandering hands...

"Ah... you're so naughty..." The two shared a brief moment of intimacy before climbing out of bed to start the new day.

"Claire, are you sleepy? You watched over Zoe all night..."

"I'm fine, I fell asleep leaning against the window last night... Besides, does me being sleepy have anything to do with last night? Who was tossing me around this morning? Hmm?" Saying that, she rolled her eyes at Vince as she put on her clothes.

"Look at how nice the weather is today, hehe..."

"Nice my foot, it's completely overcast again... But speaking of which, ever since yesterday, my energy really is much better than before..." She patted her cheeks, walked over to the mirror, and examined herself.

"I don't have any dark circles at all, and I feel like even my wrinkles are gone..."

"What wrinkles..." Vince hugged her from behind, nuzzling his cheek against her ear.

"Claire never had a single wrinkle to begin with..."

"Alright, alright, go brush your teeth..."... This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. After getting dressed, they did a simple wash-up. Since water was still plentiful for now, they could maintain basic hygiene as long as they conserved it.

"What was Zoe saying on the radio just now?

'Seth can turn invisible'?" Claire asked casually while washing up. Looking at Claire's back as she washed up, there was still just the green Health Bar with a purple border [116/116]. There was no blue energy bar, nor any other changes... Hearing her say that, Vince responded a bit unnaturally:"Um... Claire..."

"Ah? It's fine, don't worry too much about me. I'm already more than happy just being like this..." Claire seemed to know what Vince was thinking. She walked over, kissed him lightly, and looked at him,"Just like in the movies, maybe it has to do with a person's innate talent or something?" She pursed her lips, her eyes dimming slightly.

"Someone like me... is probably just the 'hardworking' type with no real talent..." But she immediately regained her vibrant spirit, blinking her beautiful large eyes at Vince.

"But this is a good thing! If I had Zoe's ability, I'd probably end up with spoons permanently stuck to my forehead, unable to take them off..." As she spoke, as if picturing the scenario, she covered her mouth and started giggling.

"Heh... hahaha..." Guided by Claire's mood, the image of her with spoons stuck to her forehead made Vince burst out laughing. Then, picturing Zoe running away with a swarm of spoons chasing her, he laughed even harder.

"But seriously, Claire, I actually have some clues about your ability. I just need to observe it a bit more... But I do know this: this ability of yours should become more and more obvious the more zombies you kill..." Claire rubbed her face, looking with a smile at this man who was younger than her, but for some reason, sometimes felt far more mature. She didn't know if he genuinely knew something or was just comforting her, but it didn't matter. This was already good enough.

"Mhm! I believe you!" Vince looked at Claire. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt like she looked even prettier than before... He reached out and rubbed her cheek, nuzzling his face against hers, and whispered in her ear:"Mhm... don't worry..."...

"Look!" When Vince and Claire arrived on the sixth floor, they saw Zoe with a braised chicken leg dangling from her mouth, performing acrobatics... A bunch of random junk was hovering in mid-air, orbiting her head like comets. A kettle, a flashlight, an iron, a set of keys, and a few wrenches. They were all miscellaneous items from the cardboard boxes in 601, currently dug out by her to serve as props.

"Vince..." The moment Cody saw Vince enter, he hastily stood up to greet him, then shot Zoe a pointed look. BANG!

"Ah!" Zoe wanted to put the items down, but in her panic, all the objects hovering in mid-air abruptly contracted toward the center of her rotation, smashing into each other with a loud bang before plummeting down! Seeing this, Vince quickly stepped forward, catching the iron in one hand and snagging two wrenches with the other. As for the rest... Crash, clatter, clink, clank... The messy assortment of metal junk rained down, smashing right onto Zoe's head.

"Ow! Ugh..." [137/150], knocking off 2 of her HP... Seeing Zoe squatting on the ground clutching her head, Cody hurriedly crouched beside her, checking on his sister. After all, by normal logic, getting hit on the head by a wrench was enough to cause a serious injury...

"Hehe..." Vince wasn't panicked in the slightest. He had caught the heaviest items anyway. This was the perk of an Awakened constitution: bumps and bruises were nothing to worry about. It hurt, sure, but it healed fast. Sure enough, after a short moment, Zoe stood up, pouting, her face full of grievance.

"Played a bit too hard, huh... It'll be fine in a bit..." Seeing this, Vince broke into a grin, reaching out to pinch her cheek.

"Save your energy. We're going out to kill zombies in a bit..." He glanced at Cody again. Still a yellow [76/100]... Steadying his mind, Vince scanned the room. Not seeing Seth, he asked:"Where's Seth? What did you guys mean by something happened to him?"

"Ah!" Hearing this, Zoe's head instantly stopped hurting. She hurried over and whispered to Vince:"Seth has a superpower too! He can turn invisible! But he doesn't seem to be able to control it, so he doesn't dare leave the room..."

"Invisible?" Vince quickly asked.

"What kind of invisibility? Does he turn transparent or what..."

"Not transparent... Ugh, I can't really explain it. Dage, you'll see once you go take a look..." With that, she pushed Vince toward the apartment across the hall.
