"What if you get nervous and shoot me after I come out? You all seem a little too trigger happy for my taste." She had seen the lower floors so she just appeared there behind all of them.
Level 8 spatial control is very useful. Even she does not know the depth of her power. The book mentioned it but Amelia is a little fuzzy with time. She will figure it out though, it's only the matter of time.
The police are all focused pointing their guns upward to the second floor. Sweat can be seen on each of their foreheads.
"What are we looking at?" She lowered her voice and asked. Someone turned around and fired the gun at her. Luckily she had put on a barrier around herself.
The bullets bounce and hit them instead. Someone got hit in the neck and started bleeding. Seeing this the leader shouted "Stop! She is clearly not a zombie look we are shooting our own people."
They lowered their guns seeing the five people on the ground. "What a stupid way to die." Amelia shook her head.
They rushed to stop the bleeding. She wanted to help but the one who shouted before had a gun pointing at her. "Why are you glaring at me? I didn't shoot your friends."
"If they die it's on you. Why are you sneaking up on people with guns?"
"Someone is dying downstairs. They are being strangled to death." Amelia looked at the policeman who just ran downstairs to find a woman strangling her teenage girl.
The police pried her off the girl and the girl coughed. "Why did you stop me?" The woman seems delusional as she looked at her daughter with sadness.
"Why are you killing someone? Do you know this is against the law?" The police asked but Amelia is busy feeding the people on the ground crude looking healing medicine. She has made them long time ago in the hotel.
The one shot on the neck is in a serious condition so she gave her two more pills. The wound healed but there is a scar there. "It will remind you of the time every one became stupid with fear." Amelia smiled at the glaring women.
"No thank you?" She frowned and looked at the people on the ground.
"Thank you." One old cop said looking at her with apprehension.
"Then I shall be on my way." She went downstairs and found a crying mother.
"I just don't want her to have to leave in a lawless world. Police station is not safe enough, soon those things will come in and eat my baby, my child has been pampered by us from young. How can she take it?" The woman has snort and tears running down her face.
The other people look at her in understanding. Moreover, this little girl is so tender and weak, how can she make it in this world?
"You underestimate your daughter ma'am. She is stronger than you give her credit for. Isn't that right little sister?" Amelia smiled at the girl.
The girl is still dizzy from lack of oxygen a while ago. Eyes bloodshot, face red. Her breathing is shallow.
"Who are you?" The police asked.
"I'm your new boss. Now be good and take these people to the trucks I packed outside. Don't worry, there are no zombies in the police station anymore." She gave him a bag of pills.
"Everyone take one of these. It will relieve hunger for three days. Make quick I am needed back." She is about to go upstairs when the police grabbed her arm.
"I don't work for you." He gave her the bag.
"Are you sure?" She raised an eyebrow.
"I'm pretty sure."
"Alright." She went back inside.
"Take one of these pills, I have come to take you to a safe place. These pills will get rid of your hunger for three days. I have trucks outside, does anyone of you know how to drive one?" She looked at the silent people.
"They don't trust you. Looks like you came for nothing." The police man sneers at her.
"I didn't come to save people, I came to empty your armory." Amelia smiled when the police guy's face became distorted
"What?" Anger is apparent on his face.
"I took all the guns in the next building storeroom. I came here for the other storeroom but imagine my surprise when I felt multiple life signals from your basement? I thought I should check it out." Her answer is unhurried as if talking about the weather.
"Those don't belong to you! Give them back." The cop got anger and pulled his pistol. Amelia frowned seeing his actions.
"Where are they. Those guns are our only hope to surviving this." The man is shaking now.
She used her mental power to pull the gun from his hand and levitated it in front of her. She then separated the parts while it is in the air. It turned into several parts right in front of her. She is practicing her mental control.
Amelia looked at the dumbfounded police man. "That was just one of my abilities. Point at me with that thing again and I won't be so nice. Got it?" The policeman nodded and took steps back.
She turned to the people who are also looking at her with fear. She looked at a group of four women covering themselves. She sent her mental power and found the problem.
They are covered in thick rash on their bodies. There even pus on some of the infected rashes. This place must have not been cleaned in a long time.
"These sisters, I can cure your bodies. All that rash....gone in mere minutes. Don't you want to try?" She asked and saw the girls stiffen.
"Come on I don't have all day. Eat these tomatoes and come with me." She levitated tomatoes to the girls. When they heard something fall on them, they quickly took them and ate in a quick pace.
A scream came from one, and then more girls made screaming sounds and got out of the blanket. When the other people saw their bodies covered in pus, they ran away from them.
Amelia looked at the man next to her. "Is there a place where they can change?"
He pointed at the far corner. Amelia gestured for them to follow her. The police guy followed and stood outside the bathroom door. Inside the bathroom, Amelia took out three buckets of water and placed them on each bathtub. She put down changing clothes.
The girls didn't feel itchy anymore but the disgusting liquid on them made them cry. After giving them washing soap and towels she went out. Finding the policeman outside.
"Do you want to help them wash up?" She asked him.
"I just don't trust you. Who knows what you will do to them? One of them is my niece." The man lit up a cigarette and smoked.
"They had infected rash. The place is probably very dusty and girls who were used to cleaning themselves everyday with skin products can't handle such a crude environment. They are fine now though. Their skin is going to be as tuff as iron." She left.
"Just because of a tomato? Do I look stupid to you?" The police is very suspicious of this woman.
"Those are mutated tomatoes. Did you not see them glow? Anyways I am leaving now." She had helped those girls to show her power in front of the people. But upon thinking further, these old and young but weak are not worth her efforts at all.
"Wait I want to see the results of your so called tomatoes. I hope you are telling the truth." The man said he subconsciously reached for his gun but then he remembered her threat when he pointed a gun at her last time. His hand stopped reaching for his other gun.
Amelia waited because she doesn't want to argue with him. The girls took a long time before coming out looking clean, even more beautiful than before. There is no mark of the previous rash at all. Their skin is white and tender even slightly more ethereal.
The police man became stunned in place when he saw the results, he went to his niece and checked her.
The girls look healthy and their skins look beautiful and soft not to mention rash, they don't look to have pores at all.
"Uncle. I'm okay. I'm cured." She said excitedly.
The girls explained to the man how they were all getting rash and soon it was infected so they covered all the time.
"I have a base, if you all want..." She is interrupted by the police.
"No, thank you. We don't associate with thieves." The man side sternly.
"Uncle, don't be rude. She practically saved us and you repay her with hostility? Miss, thank you so much for the water, the tomato and the clothes." She wanted to come to her but she is held back by the police.
"Alright. You are welcome. Word of caution, your skin is very hard now so try not to hurt people unintentionally." Amelia left.
"Wait, you have a base? Can we come?" The other three girls asked and when Amelia nodded they ran to her. The police had a trace of regret when he saw the beautiful girls running away with the thief.
She went towards the other storage. The police saw this and went after her. He wanted to pull out a gun but remembered what he was warned about last time.
There is a suitcase inside with a few jade pieces. Several of them are mutated jade with space. The heroine got inside without alerting the zombies with the breathing technique to hide oneself. She has this ability but it takes a lot of spirit qi so she doesn't use it often.
When she came to loot the place, there were a few spiritual items calling to her in the police storage. It must be confiscated from the criminals. Amelia wanted to see if she can use these pieces in making a formation for the defences of the base.
The spaces are not very big but can allow one person to carry many things. It is a briefcase full of this stuff. Amelia was going to use the normal jade and use the spirit stones to mature it and then engrave space formations inside.
But now that she is here. The elder sisters followers will have to remain without space artifacts for a while.
This was just a way for the author to give the loyal fans of the heroine benefits. This mutated jade has so many uses. Hearing the police man coming after her. She put up a barrier on the hallway so the man can not come any closer.
Entering in the storage she went straight to the briefcase and left all the guns and bullets for the cops. She is not completely heartless. When she came out she showed him.
"I only came in for this. Not the weapons." She released the barrier and the man ran to the storage, finding all the guns in there he heaved a sigh of relief.
She put the case in the space and walked towards the three girls. "Are you ready?"
"I'm Ning, this is Xu An, that one is called Chu Hua. What's your name?" Ning took the initiative to break the ice.
"Amelia Bold. You can call me Amy. Come on, there are groups of zombies coming this way from the city. We should go." She lead them out.
"Amy, can I bring my parents? They are old but they're all I have." Chu Hua asked looking at Amy with a nervous smile.
"Bring whoever you want. Make it quick I'll bring the car." She went out not knowing the other cops want to come with her.
She brought the car and knocked on the door. When someone saw the outside has no zombies they opened and saw a girl standing alone, the ground is littered with zombie corpses.
"Make it quick." She said to the girl bringing her parents over. Amelia took a bigger car.
"Miss Amelia can we come as well?" The one with a wounded neck asked. Amelia nodded.
In the end the truck was full of people but some remained behind with the stubborn police from before. 89 people. Amelia told them she has an orphanage there for the children so all the kids were told to leave by the police.
He took it as Amelia taking away the burdens. Even as more than 53 of his comrades left with the girl.
"You took many weapons from this place, leave some food as compensation." The police said but Amelia just snorted coldly.
"Why don't you come and make me pay up?" Amelia is amused by his demands.
Hearing her and seeing the ground littered with dead zombies he didn't dare come to challenge her. Seeing this scene, 8 more police people especially women came to join her. The police man is left with men only in the end.
That cop has always been a bully they would never want to stay with him. Not to mention his harassments has gotten worse these days.
"You will all die, following a little girl to a 'base' come on, how safe can a place run by a child be?" He looked at the police people who left him.
"I cleared the zombies here by myself. Why didn't you try it before I got here?" Amelia asked coldly.
In the end the only people left were a few of the police men who looked down on Amelia and women in general.
Amelia is glad she got more than 50 trained police officers to train the new recruits in the base. The two trucks became three.
The trucks didn't make any noise because of the talisman. Hours went by and they didn't encounter an organized attack which was lucky because Amelia could feel a bad feeling coming from the city.
A powerful zombie must be evolving there. The people were rescued by the army a while ago which means she can now go and do clean up. But then what will the new recruits do if she is doing all the work?
The three trucks came to the gate making people guarding the gate very surprised. The hospital is located on the land far away from the main road. People don't pass by this place but seek it out.
The car in the front made them relax. Without realizing it seeing Amelia made them feel safe subconsciously.
"How is it? Feeling strong yet?" Amelia asked the guard whose face became pale after remembering the concoction that made him feel sick and puke black things.
"Leader." The man ran to the side making Amelia laugh at him.
"Come on open up these guys are safe I checked them myself."
The trucks came in the people were taken to register and most chose to enlist on the army when the lady explained that everyone should have a job in the base or have enough points to pay for the rent by killing zombies.
All the police officers registered without hesitation and got a room with 150 credit. They took the families to stay in the main building with free water, electricity and food.
When the other people saw the list of the jobs on the wall they quickly applied and also got rooms. The temporary jobs live on the outer buildings. The buildings are furnished because the old things were cleaned and left there. Since these are old buildings, there will be existing furniture.
Agatha is working hard on the ground. Amelia put a lot of concealment talisman on her unless you look closely, it is not easy to see her. Amy also made a lot of tall trees around the construction site so she can be kept out of the eyesight.
Amelia went to see the little puppy who has been surprising Agatha by keeping her company. The puppy never ties to interact with the humans which is good.
She gave Agatha a lot of cucumber from space. It will recover the lost power without backlash. She has been experimenting with the different items in the space.
"Leader." Li Jie looked surprised to see her.
"Hey, how is it going? How much did you improve from the mental fruit?"
"I reached level 4. My flame is no longer dark orange, it's turning green." Li Jie showed her the flame. It looks pretty.
They all have elements except for three who has space, spirit ability that can control objects and people's minds, the last one is the shadow manipulator.
The lowest level is 3 which made her very happy. These people were initially not training in the lab but were just being experimented on. The only advantage they have their early awakening. ⁰
"The supernatural powers are yours to grow, to discover and to improve. I can only give you some inference but you need to experiment with it yourself."
"For the time being, the 9 of you are in one team. Li Jie will be the leader, go out and come back with a hundred level two crystal nucleus. One level two crystal nuclei is equal to ten level one crystal nuclei. You have two days starting from tomorrow. I will give you supplies." She spoke with a serious tone.
Seeing them agree with smiles she left and went to talk to old Mo.
"You went out and came back with over a hundred people. Where did you get them?" The old man looked at her curiously.
"Where is that secretary you gave me?" Amelia asked what she came here for.
"The man who challenged you at the meeting was her brother so she left with him." The dean said with a burning face. He regrets his rash decision at the time. Remembering her bold words 'My life was saved by the leader, she can also take it if she must.' He felt his face burn with shame.
"Oh? Anyways please get me another three. I want fast people. Make sure they don't have any family ties this time. It's better to be an orphan directly before the end of the world." Amelia said these words after she considered what happened last time.
"As you wish. What are you feeding the kids? I saw the fruits you gave to the cafeteria, very fresh stuff. I took some for myself." Old Mo took out a bowl of strawberries from a draw.
Amy laughed at him. "Do you feel healthier after eating them?"
Mo nodded his head. "That is why I'm asking what in the world are these delicious fruits? How can I go back to eating normal fruits after eating this?" Mo sounded like he is mourning.
"That will teach you not to steal from children." Amy said without mercy.
"Anyways I wanted to commend you for your generosity to the orphans. It warms my heart to know you have a heart." Mo laughs seeing her dark expression.
"I change my mind. Since you are so healthy now, why don't you get me empty small containers I want to put medicine inside. Make it two hundred. I need it in 15 minutes, you know where to make the delivery." She said this and left. Old Mo glared at the strawberry in his hand.
She went into her space after coming back and started harvesting. Took out a large water tank and climbed up until she stood next to the opening. She used her mental power to cut the cucumber from the plants sent them to a rinsing sink to wash them.
After that is done, she put it inside the tank. After about half the tank is full of cucumbers, she started washing the strawberries and one by one putting them inside until there's enough space for water later.
Cucumber allows ¹¹people to recover, be it energy or super powers it will be recovered in a short time. The strawberries strengthen the system and allows people to not get infected by germs easily. The spiritual ones will probably stop a virus from infecting the person.
When she instructed the staff to give each child at least five strawberries at breakfast it was to ensure they are not falling sick anytime soon. Unexpectedly even old people can also make use of it to stay healthy and strong.
When the tank is almost full, she put the spring water from Agatha's layer. That spirit water is very weak compared to the one in the tank she stole from the mountain before.
She only put about a quarter of the tank worth of spring water. When she finished, she closed her eyes and used her mental power to crush the cucumber and strawberries in the tank.
She left it like that to ferment. Coming out she saw the containers she had asked. Deciding not to do this herself. She put the containers in the space and went to the restaurant. It is about lunch time.
The base has about 312 orphans. They have their own kitchen and dining area. It is on the 38th floor.
The menu is written on the wall. There is meat and rice, fruits and juice. Their food is on their own storages where only a few people are allowed inside.
These people signed contracts and can not do evil on the children or steal their food. The people here are the people who used to work on restaurants in the hospital. But it is obvious they are not even trying here.
Looking at the food they are feeding the children. Amelia paused her lips.
"Those who cooked this unpalatable thing, move to the outer buildings." She got out leaving a group of people freaking out.
"Leader! Mercy." Amelia has already left. She had initially wanted to give these people the work of filling up the containers in her space but seeing their lackluster performance, she decided to go and find one from the soldiers restaurant.
