043 Looking for trouble

Regarding their plans for the future, the family actually had ideas a long time ago, and Fang Jintang's statement was merely a diversion. However, Qiu Yiming's arrival and his mention of a superpower user team served as a wake-up call for the family. It was not suitable for Fang Yuyang and Fang Yuxin to join the military team, as there were too many restrictions, and they could end up as cannon fodder. Nevertheless, after Qiu Yiming's suggestion, Fang Jintang and Fang Yuyang thought about forming their own team.

Currently, the superpowers of Fang Jintang, Qu Qianhe, Bai Qianqian, and even Angela must remain concealed; such a high probability of superpower users in one family was too shocking and could not be disclosed. The Fang Family members were no fools and naturally wouldn't do that.

As long as they kept their powers hidden from the start, even if their superpowers were discovered later, they could attribute them to the effects of Elemental Crystals. Though keeping the effects of Elemental Crystals a secret might displease some people, it was still better than being coveted by others. As long as they had enough strength, what could anyone else say?

The so-called supremacy of the strong, in any era, the world speaks with strength. Once, money and power represented everything, but now, force would determine everything.

In the short term, the strength of superpower users would definitely not increase much. The military, with its guns and ammunition, would naturally have the highest status. The system within the Safe Zone would likely still be relatively intact, though certainly not as robust as during peacetime. Moreover, the military wouldn't be able to guarantee that everyone's rights are protected and defend every individual.

If someone eyeing them didn't know their place and decided to pick on them, they could completely fight back, as long as they didn't go too far and didn't provoke the military, there likely wouldn't be any major problems.

The family sat down and discussed their ideas, which were fairly aligned: use the early period of the apocalypse to search for as many Elemental Crystals and Crystal Cores as possible to boost their strength. As for the Qiu Family, for now, they couldn't afford to break ties with them outright. After all, the Qiu Family had a military background, Qiu Hongsheng held a significant military rank, and Qiu Yiming was now the captain of a superpower user team. Breaking ties would undoubtedly be disadvantageous for them.

While they were discussing, two more cars pulled up outside. They were sedans from well-known international brands, expensive but not impressive in the eyes of the Fang Family.

The cars stopped directly at the door, and immediately after, the doors opened, and the occupants hurried out, with someone loudly saying as they disembarked, "Brother Chen, this house is nice; shall we settle in here?" The voice was filled with barely concealed excitement.

Someone replied, "No shit! This is one of the top luxury housing areas, only the wealthy live here. How could the houses be bad?"

"Look, there are people inside!"

"What's going on? Could it be someone else got here first?"

"What's there to be afraid of? If we've set our sights on this house, no matter who's inside, just kick them out!"

"Exactly! Brother Chen is a superpower user! He deserves to live in a place like this!"

"Damn, the gate is locked!"

"Smash it!"

There were a total of eight people who came out of the two cars, six men and four women, all quite young, around their twenties. Two women looked delicate and beautiful, clinging to either side of a grim-looking young man who was dressed decently. The other five men had hairstyles that looked like they came from a salon, at first glance resembling salon boys, but their demeanor was more like that of uneducated hooligans.

Many voices spoke, creating a noisy and chaotic atmosphere, crude and impolite in tone, and the implications in their words were quite meaningful and somewhat bitter.

When Fang Yuyang and Fang Yuxin went out, each was holding an ax, and they both chopped toward the door lock. Just as they were about to hit the lock, a small whirlwind suddenly appeared, engulfing the ax and diverting its direction, causing it to strike a young man who was eagerly watching the spectacle by their side.

When the siblings first appeared, someone whistled arrogantly, while those two women glared at Fang Yuxin with jealous eyes, filled with hostility. However, with the appearance of the small whirlwind, everyone's expression changed.

"A superpower user!" someone exclaimed, followed by a scream. The unfortunate young man who was spectating was struck by the ax in his arm, a deep wound, thankfully without hitting the bone.

The faces of the six men were unpleasant, either panicking or warily watching Fang Yuyang, while the two women's eyes lit up, their gazes toward Fang Yuyang turning heated, clearly ready to abandon the young man beside them and defect to Fang Yuyang's side.

The young man in the middle noticed their gazes and his face suddenly grew dark, with more hostility aimed toward Fang Yuyang. Fortunately, he was still rational, and instead of losing his cool, he suppressed his anger and said to Fang Yuyang and Fang Yuxin, "Friends, please don't be mad, we didn't mean anything by it, we just needed a place to stay. My subordinates were ignorant and have offended you. I'll have them apologize right now."

After he spoke, he pushed aside the woman beside him, walked over, and forcefully kicked the leg of the young man who had held the ax. The man screamed in pain and knelt on the ground, incessantly apologizing to the siblings.

Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang ignored him, instead warily watching the apparent leader, the so-called 'Brother Chen'. When Brother Chen saw that they had no reaction, he said, "It's said that we don't get acquainted until a fight, and he has apologized. How about we let bygones be bygones? There are monsters everywhere outside now, and we survivors should help each other, right?"

Seeing no response from them, he became annoyed, his tone warning, "This brother is a Wind Ability User, right? You're strong, but after all, it's hard for one man to stand against many hands. How about we cooperate? The house is big enough, and with us, it should still be spacious. We could join forces to fend off external threats and protect this house."

Fang Yuxin responded with a cold laugh, "This is my house, why should I let you stay?"

Her voice was melodic and beautiful, and even with a chill, it remained captivating. These eight people had noticed her extraordinary beauty early on—the two women were jealous, while the six men's hearts warmed at the sight of her. Now that she had spoken, the women's hostility intensified, with their glares sharp as knives, and the six men's eyes even hotter, especially Brother Chen, whose eyes openly revealed a predatory intent.

Fang Yuyang was already fed up with these people and regretted not acting sooner. Raising his hand, eight Wind Blades appeared out of thin air and shot forth!

Apart from Brother Chen, none of the others expected such sudden action and cried out in panic, scrambling to dodge. Brother Chen seemed to have anticipated it and immediately grabbed one of the women hiding behind him to shield himself.

The woman clearly had not expected such ruthlessness and screamed in horror, her voice piercingly shrill, "Ah—"
