Special Agent’s Rebirth: The Almighty Goddess of Quick Transmigration - Chapter 269

Wei Qi had never imagined that Su Mu would reach the second tier. After all, even Ye Shaohua, the strongest in their team, rarely went out.

The others weren’t much of a threat either.

Wei Qi was simply venting her frustration.

Hearing Wei Qi’s words, Su Mu didn’t respond. Instead, he turned to Sui Yun, who seemed unfathomable, and asked, “Boss, what plant do you want me to accelerate?”

Sui Yun pointed to a bag of seeds beside him. “How far can you take it?”

Su Mu glanced at a nearby plant that had been accelerated to the flowering stage—one he didn’t recognize.

“I’ll give it a try,” Su Mu said eagerly.

Over the past few days, Ye Shaohua had taught him many techniques for using wood-type abilities.

The people in the vehicle knew Su Mu was only a first-tier ability user and didn’t hold much hope. Yet, to their surprise, he effortlessly accelerated the plant’s growth, not stopping at flowering but pushing it all the way to fruition, forming a green fruit without showing any signs of exhaustion.

Unlike Wei Qi’s second-tier subordinate, who could only manage flowering, Su Mu had fully matured the plant—and he made no effort to hide his capability.

The others in the vehicle shot to their feet so abruptly that they bumped their heads against the roof.

“Holy shit, Su Mu, what tier are you now?” someone familiar with him blurted out.

Su Mu replied calmly, “Not much, just third tier.”

Wei Qi and her second-tier subordinate stood frozen, utterly stunned.

Everyone knew Su Mu’s previous strength—barely first-tier. Now, he had skipped second-tier entirely and reached third-tier!

Apart from Sui Yun, even Wei Qi wasn’t at that level.

By this point, every member of Ye Shaohua’s team had reached third-tier. Even the few non-ability users among them had combat skills rivaling second-tier ability users.

Like an unstoppable bulldozer, they swept through towns, leaving even third-tier zombies with nowhere to flee.

The “Doomsday Bulldozer” team was born, striking such fear into the undead that they scrambled to stay dozens of kilometers away. Their reputation for ferocity spread like wildfire.

Meanwhile, the scattered ability users traveling with Sui Yun to the capital did everything they could to join Ye Shaohua’s team. Though they couldn’t compare to Su Ran and the others, their progress was still astonishingly fast.

The capital’s safe zone had long been aware of Ye Shaohua’s existence. Upon learning she could cure certain strains of the zombie virus and even create satellite phones, the lead researcher—a brain-domain ability user—realized she was also a brain-domain ability user, far more advanced than himself.

He ordered the Sui family to ensure she was brought to the capital at all costs.

No one understood the terrifying potential of a brain-domain ability user better than that researcher.

…..

Meanwhile, at the Capital Safe Zone…

“Captain Qiu, we’re here to ask for news,” Ye Changming said cautiously, handing over a pack of cigarettes he’d risked his life to collect. “Have you heard anything about my daughter or my niece?”

Since the apocalypse began, Ye Changming and his wife had been in the capital, where a safe zone was quickly established.

Fortunately, both of them had awakened strength-based abilities and were taken in by an ability user team, joining them on missions.

Knowing how weak they were, they had no choice but to rely on their captain to gather information about Ye Shaohua and Ye Xiangxiang.

“News isn’t that easy to come by,” Captain Qiu said impatiently, shoving Ye Changming aside after taking the cigarettes. “Stop bothering me, will you?”

Ye Changming was only a low-tier strength ability user with no crystals to his name.

Months into the apocalypse, he was still stuck at first-tier, while Captain Qiu had reached peak first-tier. The shove sent Ye Changming stumbling to the ground.

Captain Qiu didn’t leave, though. Lighting a cigarette, he glanced at Ye Changming and said, “But since you gave me these, I’ll give you a heads-up—you’re two days behind on rent. If you don’t pay up soon, you’ll be kicked out of the safe zone.”

Staying in the safe zone wasn’t free. Rent wasn’t paid in money anymore but in supplies—water, food, crystals, anything of value.

Ye Changming’s face paled. Suddenly remembering something, he rushed back home.

His wife had been bedridden with a fever for days. Medicine was priceless in the apocalypse, requiring crystals to trade for.

Ye Changming had fought desperately outside the day before but hadn’t managed to obtain a single crystal, only injuring himself further.

When he arrived, he found a crowd gathered outside their tiny, one-bed dwelling. His heart sank.

Pushing through, he saw his wife being thrown out.

“Looking for your daughters?” A burly man in black sneered at the couple. “Look at you two—your daughters are probably already zombie chow.”

He snatched the last two packs of black bread from the table and yanked the jade pendant from Ye Changming’s wife’s neck. “Consider these ours now.”

“Brother Biao, my wife is sick… Please, at least leave the bread for her…” Ye Changming was injured and couldn’t go on missions.

All their savings had gone to Captain Qiu in exchange for news about Ye Shaohua and Ye Xiangxiang.

If they lost these last two packs of bread, his sick wife wouldn’t survive.

“Let it go,” his wife whispered, tugging at his sleeve. She could see the contempt in Brother Biao’s eyes.

The two of them were the lowest-tier ability users in the capital safe zone—useless strength-types at that.

With their age and declining physical condition, anyone in the safe zone could crush them underfoot.

The apocalypse had erased the rule of law. If Brother Biao decided to kill them, no one would lift a finger to stop him.

“But—” Ye Changming clenched his fists in silent fury.

“Changming, Brother Biao is a second-tier ability user,” his wife said bitterly. “There are only so many second-tiers in the entire safe zone. To him, we’re just ants. I won’t die so easily—not before I see Shaohua and Xiangxiang again.”

For now, they had no choice but to endure.

Brother Biao smirked at their submission.

Just then, the entire safe zone erupted into commotion as people surged toward the gates.

Brother Biao grabbed a passerby. “What’s going on?”

Recognizing him, the man answered excitedly, “The Doomsday Bulldozer and Boss Yun are right outside the gates!”
