Infinite Ebullience-Chapter 47 - 30 Ice Age

47: Chapter 30 Ice Age

47 -30 Ice Age

Li Xinlan activated the golden seed she had found at midnight on the fifth day and fell into a deep sleep.

Twelve hours had passed since then.

Tang Zheng hadn’t gone out to ‘hunt zombies’, but stayed outside Xinlan’s room, just in case.

There were seven or eight A4 papers covered with various diagrams and text on the tea table in front of Tang Zheng.

He was pouting and carefully thinking by it.

Even though there hadn’t been immediate danger over the last two days, he refused to let his guard down, instead, he cracked his brain trying to prepare an escape plan.

“Silver Trojan wouldn’t let us pass the remaining nine days that easily.” Tang Zheng had no more desire to see anyone else dying.

“We have enough food, but we need to prepare plenty of weapons and ammunition too.

We must come up with a safe and quick way to kill those police zombies.”

“Tang Zheng, look what I found!

A DV digital camcorder from 2019.” Pang Meiqin walked in carrying a big bag, she looked around the living room and bedroom, then upon confirming that Tang Zheng was the only one around, she smiled slyly and thought, “Let’s see where you’ll run this time.”

“Impressive haul, congrats.” Tang Zheng didn’t appear bothered by Pang Meiqin’s interruption, as one of the group leader’s responsibilities was to communicate with the group members.

“Hope I didn’t disturb you?” Although she asked this, Pang Meiqin without realizing how disruptive she was, plopped down on the sofa.

The sofa’s elasticity caused her body to bounce up and down a bit, making her chest swing in some tempting waves.

Tang Zheng glanced at her chest subconsciously, thinking to himself how big they were before he shifted his gaze away.

Pang Meiqin was quite pretty, slim enough to be a flat model, which accentuated her full chest.

However, her most defining feature was her long, attractive legs.

Noticing Tang Zheng barely giving her a glance, her mouth twitched, she then took off her high heels, lifted her leg onto the tea table and began adjusting her stockings.

“These stockings have holes in them, they look awful.” Pang Meiqin complained with a helpless face.

Her leg-lifting pose combined with her tight black clothes highlighted her long and toned legs.

She was confident that any man who saw them would be drooling…

But Tang Zheng merely glanced at her, then moved on.

He was a little innocent and didn’t think much of it.

“Humph, you won’t be easy to get, fine, I’m all in.” Seeing her rare window of opportunity, Pang Meiqin grit her teeth and took drastic steps.

She stood up, slipped off her trousers, and slowly peeled off her stockings.

“Luckily, I found a new pair in the suite.” Pang Meiqin pulled out a new pair of black stockings from her bag, deliberately slowing down her actions.

Her feet were even just a meter away from Tang Zheng, but unfortunately, he didn’t even glance at her.

Pang Meiqin was so furious she almost spat blood.

She began to wonder whether Tang Zheng was asexual.

Since she had gone this far, it made no sense to give up now.

“Huh, what are you drawing?

Got another new plan?” Pang Meiqin acted like she’d discovered a new continent, squeezing herself curiously next to Tang Zheng with only her underwear and stockings on.

Tang Zheng noticed a pleasant scent as well as a soft sensation, prompting him to scoot away a little.

Noticing his subtle movement, Pang Meiqin quietly frowned.

Just as she was about to say something, Tang Zheng spoke up.

“Everyone will be back soon, you don’t want them to see you like this, do you?”

“You’re such a drag.” Pang Meiqin complained, then picked up her bag and headed to the middle room.

She returned after taking a few steps, then threw the Canon DV digital camcorder onto Tang Zheng.

“Here, you jerk.” Saying this, Pang Meiqin stormed off into the bedroom.

“Are you done?

If you are, then come out.” Tang Zheng glanced at the bedroom where Li Xinlan was resting and complained.

“Are you a ‘vegetarian’?

She came straight to you, why didn’t you seize the opportunity?” Li Xinlan came out and sat across from Tang Zheng.

She chuckled, “At the airline company, there must have been dozens of people wanting to pursue Pang Meiqin.

Of course, even the most humble among those who managed to ask her out for dinner was a deputy director of the HR department.”

“She’s not as beautiful as Qin Yan, and she falls a bit short compared to Bai Guo and you.” Tang Zheng said frankly, with no ulterior motive.

“Hmm, you have good taste.

Qin Yan is considered the number one beauty in our airline company and rumor has it that her father is a mayor.” Li Xinlan, while helping tidy up the A4 printer paper on the tea table, laughed, “Zhao Jingye must be taking advantage of the situation to express his affection to her.

What a shame, his poor performance a few days ago cost him severe points.

But you, on the other hand, stand a good chance.”

“I’m not interested.” Tang Zheng turned his head, looking Li Xinlan up and down, and asked, “What ability did you activate?”

“Don’t stare.” Covering her chest, the young woman gave Tang Zheng a reproachful look, and replied, “Ice Age, an ice-related ability.”

Li Xinlan raised her right hand, a faint golden light enveloping her arm.

“Qi, also called life energy, I’m sure you’re not unfamiliar with it.”

“How long does the ability last?

Any after-effects?” Tang Zheng needed this information but he was considerate enough not to intrude on Li Xinlan’s feelings.

“Of course, you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.”

“What do you take me for?” The attractive young woman gave Tang Zheng a laden glance and then spoke quietly, “Given my constitution and the level of my life energy, it shouldn’t be a problem to maintain it for about seven minutes.

Any longer, and I may faint from exhaustion, dehydration and the like.”

“There’s no time limit?” Tang Zheng was intrigued.

“No, if I push myself disregarding the toll it takes on my body, I could stretch it to around fifteen minutes.

Hehe, I’m quite strong now, Little Tang.” Li Xinlan’s index finger on her left hand pointed at the tea table and as the golden Qi surged, a visible white ice layer swiftly proliferated, covering the full expanse of the tea table.

The faint icy mist made Tang Zheng’s skin feel chilly, causing goosebumps to rise.

“Great ability.

If wielded properly, it could be a powerful force in battle.” Tang Zheng’s eyes lit up.

From the name ‘Ice Age’, he roughly deduced Li Xinlan’s ability.

It was far better than his ‘Furious Queen’ ability that could only be used for five minutes in an hour.

But he still had the option to activate five more abilities, which also constituted a significant advantage.

So, he pursued further, “Can the ‘Ice Age’ ability be upgraded?”

“Upgrade?

Can your ability do that?” Li Xinlan shook her head, and seeing Tang Zheng nod, she touched her forehead, lamenting, “That’s so unfair.”

Tang Zheng could see that the woman in front of him didn’t really care about all this but he still tried to comfort her.

“We’ve just acquired these seed abilities and I’ve only used mine twice.

I think there are many more secrets waiting to be unearthed.”

“Anyway, it doesn’t matter.

But the feeling of using the seed is amazing.

It’s like my body has been enhanced twofold.

Apart from increased strength and agility, I can feel my heartbeat stronger than ever and especially my lung capacity.

I tested it just now and found out that I can hold my breath for five minutes, three minutes longer than before.” Li Xinlan directed her gaze towards the bedroom where Pang Meiqin was, asking, “Aren’t you afraid she’ll eavesdrop?”

“Can she hear us?” Tang Zheng pointed at the door of the room and then at the carpet underneath.

“Hmm, good observation.” Li Xinlan chuckled contentedly.

Under her high-heels, a line of ice extended towards the door and climbed, adhering to it to form an ice layer.

Any crevices were frozen solidly.

“This afternoon, let’s test the new abilities, and collect some weapons and ammunition as well,” Tang casually suggested as he picked up the DV digital camcorder.

He wanted to capture some material, and those zombies and ruins were undoubtedly the best subjects.

“Aren’t you going to tell Lin Weiguo and Qin Yan about the seeds?” The conversation seemed to have ended, and so Li Xinlan stomped on the ice line, ready to see it start to melt away.

“I’ll share it this afternoon.” With Tang Zheng’s statement, the door opened and in came Lin Weiguo, beaming.

Judging by the look on his face, they must have had a big harvest.

Second update for the day, time to get cooking!
