This answer was very characteristic of Su Ling, and also a little bit of a contrast.
After knowing each other for so long, this was the first time Su Ling had been a little playful.
Gu Shangse and the other three were all astute individuals. After hearing Su Ling's words, they knew she didn't want to talk more about the apples.
Therefore, the four of them fell silent and stopped asking.
After all, as long as there was something to eat, they didn't need to ask too many questions about how it came to be.
Su Ling wouldn't harm them!
The quality of this apple was too high, it completely surpassed any fruit they had ever eaten. It was undoubtedly the best.
After the five of them finished eating the apples, it was time to rest.
After saying their goodbyes, the five of them returned to their tents and lay down.
Gu Shangse's tent was set up by Su Ling when she went downstairs to shower. With the help of Xu Lin and the other two, it was done efficiently.
This night was destined to be a good night's sleep.
"Ah—"
As dawn broke, a scream echoed from the rooftop, marking the beginning of a new day.
Hearing the scream, Su Ling in her tent opened her eyes sharply, grabbed the Tang dao beside her, and pulled open the tent zipper to go outside.
The scream came from Fatty and Skinny's tent. As soon as Su Ling got out of her tent, she rushed towards their tent.
At the same time, Gu Shangse and Xu Lin in their tents also heard the scream and emerged from their tents one after another.
Before Su Ling reached Fatty and Skinny's tent, she saw a person covered in black emerge from the tent.
Judging by the build, it was Fatty.
After Fatty came out of the tent, another person, also covered in black, followed him out. It was Skinny.
Fatty and Skinny stood side by side, looking at Su Ling, who was holding a Tang dao, and they said in unison, "What's going on?"
Su Ling looked at Fatty and Skinny, and then her gaze unconsciously shifted to Gu Shangse and Xu Lin.
Compared to Fatty and Skinny, Gu Shangse and Xu Lin, who exercised regularly, were not as heavily covered in black filth.
Su Ling knew that this was the effect of the apples she had given the four of them to eat the night before.
The things produced in her personal space indeed had the effect of purifying the body.
In fact, she wasn't entirely sure, so she had boldly given the four of them apples last night.
The four of them stood together, all looking at Su Ling. Except for their eyes, which were clean, every other part of them was as if they had been smeared with coal, black from head to toe.
"You guys go and take a bath first. I'll explain what's going on after you're done."
Su Ling said this to the four of them, then turned and walked towards the temporary kitchen to prepare breakfast.
The four of them were very obedient. After hearing Su Ling's words, they took their change of clothes and went downstairs to take a bath.
Su Ling, who remained on the rooftop, simply washed up and then began preparing breakfast.
By the time they finished their baths and changed into clean clothes, Su Ling's instant noodles were cooked.
The vegetables had already spoiled and were rotting, so they couldn't eat them.
The instant noodles were prepared with sausage and fried eggs. Each bowl contained two fried eggs and five slices of fried ham.
After enjoying their breakfast, the five of them sat on their chairs, basking in the morning sun.
Su Ling looked at the four of them and asked about their physical condition, "How are you feeling?"
"Very comfortable, very relaxed." Fatty was the first to answer Su Ling. He spoke openly and honestly, "And I don't know if it's my imagination, but I feel like my speed has become more agile and faster than before."
Su Ling nodded and looked at Skinny, "How about you?"
Skinny met Su Ling's gaze and replied truthfully, "I feel like my whole body is filled with energy, and I'm very motivated."
At this point, Su Ling understood. The things produced in her space not only had the effect of purifying the body but also awakened the latent special abilities of the survivors.
And Fatty's special ability, if she wasn't mistaken, was the awakening of speed.
As for Skinny, it was the awakening of strength.
