Chapter 20: Fever
The crystal cores raised ordinary humans to awakened users, but the probability was extremely small. Prior to this, the individual needed to be extremely healthy; otherwise, he or she would not be able to bear the violent pains from the transformation.
Qin Jiaojiao's body had always been weak, and Qin Yi had recalled her many failures. Searching far and wide, she heard a rumor that such a state could only wield healing abilities.
Healing abilities were extremely rare in the apocalypse. A probability of 1 out of a few thousand was already considered good.
That was considerably better than finding a healing type zombie, but Qin Yi still ultimately sourced for one. Qin Yi survived a narrow escape for the sake of the crystal core, which resulted in Qin Jiaojiao awakening with the healing abilities and being hailed by others as a goddess, gaining popularity and admiration.
But Qin Yi did not feel any envy and was instead happy for her. Qin Jiaojiao was still dissatisfied, however, and desired her ice and lightning abilities, hence teaming up with Doctor Lin to capture her.
No one knew the pain that Qin Yi had to endure. It was comparable to the Qing dynasty's ten great tortures.
This time, she decided to destroy Qin Jiaojiao's body and prevent her from gaining any abilities for the rest of her life, even the most gentle healing ability. Furthermore, Qin Jiaojiao's body would become weaker. She wanted her to experience what it was like to be disliked and ignored.
No one inside the small gas station knew that the young lady had begun her path of revenge.
Qin Yi had thought of killing the entire Qin family immediately, but they had backers behind them that Qin Yi was unable to touch at the present.
