Reborn with a Space: Hoarding Food and Raising My Kid

Seth Warren was holding his younger sister, Kirk Warren, in his arms, his expression dazed. Kirk’s skin was shriveled, and her body was covered in severe burns, a truly shocking and horrifying sight.

Half of Kirk’s face was burned, and her eyelids were so ulcerated and sunken that she couldn’t see. Her body twitched uncontrollably from the pain, and she used all her strength just to whimper in pain.

Seth Warren held Kirk, tears welling up in his gloomy eyes. Flora Bloom never would have thought that this man, who appeared so dark and sullen on the outside, would care so much for his sister. "Coco, don’t be afraid, big brother is here!" He looked at Shauna Wallace, the previous arrogance gone from his somber gaze. After hesitating for a long moment, he finally spoke.

"Shauna Wallace, I know you’re a Healing System superpower user. You can definitely save my sister! If you save her, I’ll agree to anything!"

Good and evil are two sides of the same coin, and they often coexist. When a good person shatters the mirror in their heart, the other side they release can be all the more evil. Conversely, even in the most evil people, the goodness within can never be completely erased.

The cruelty of the apocalypse lies in how people, when pushed to the brink, unleash the evil in their hearts, attempting to escape reality by becoming another version of themselves. To retain even a shred of emotion and a moral bottom line, no matter how small, is a rare and precious thing.

The moment Seth Warren finished speaking, Flora Bloom’s brows furrowed. ’Only a few people from the weather station knew that Shauna Wallace was a Healing System superpower user. Even the people in her own team who came back from the hospital with her, like Mark Sterling and Maeve Preston, had no idea! How did this Seth Warren find out?’

’The day they entered the base and filled out the forms, Shauna had followed her lead and checked "no superpower" before they went into quarantine together.’

’Unless... one of the few people from the weather station leaked the secret.’

’The only other people who came with them from the weather station were Lisa, my brother Joel Bloom, Shauna Wallace, and Lucia!’

’Lisa and my brother have been with us the whole time and haven’t left. Besides, Shauna saved my brother, and Lisa is always glued to Joel’s side, so there’s no way she would have said anything.’

’Shauna herself would never expose her own secret. That means the only one who could have possibly spilled it is Lucia.’

’Just now, I learned from Heath Holden’s own mouth that Lucia was in his custody. That makes it even more likely she was the one who talked.’

"I’m begging you!" Although Seth Warren had caused trouble for Flora Bloom twice before, with an arrogant, rich-boy attitude that was truly grating, he was now bowing his proud head for his sister. That single plea, "I’m begging you," showed he had cast aside all his pride, making one last desperate struggle for her.

’He’s flexible, and while he was an infuriating jerk before, the familial love he holds in his heart is genuine. In this apocalypse, as long as people like that don’t mess with me, I have no desire to wipe them out completely.’

Flora Bloom saw that Shauna Wallace was still hesitating, but the girl in Seth Warren’s arms was severely burned and barely breathing. She decided to go over and check on her.

But Lex Cross’s arm, clamped on her shoulder, didn’t move an inch. He actually pulled her back as she tried to step forward. The Morhaven heat, combined with the burning temperature of Lex’s palm, was making her start to sweat.

’With this crowd of gawking onlookers and over a hundred dead bodies on the ground, being pinned like this by Lex feels no different from being in a chokehold. This whole scene is just bizarre!’

"Can you let me go!?"

At Flora Bloom’s impatient tone, The Crown Prince and Raccoon held their breath and lowered their heads, not daring to even look at Lex Cross’s face.

But Lex Cross, as if already used to it, didn’t seem to mind the woman’s disgusted look at all. He slowly lowered his arm, then followed Flora Bloom as she walked up to Seth Warren.

The delicate, fragile, and bewitching beauty in front; the tall, sturdy, and cold-faced tough guy behind. The two of them, one after the other, looked just like a young heiress out on the town with her bodyguard in tow. Except this bodyguard’s handsome face could bewitch hearts anywhere he went. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

With so many people watching, Flora Bloom knew it would be impossible for her to use the spiritual water to save the girl. So, she looked at Shauna Wallace.

"Shauna, do you want to save her?"

Shauna Wallace looked at Seth Warren and his sister, her expression firming as if she had made a decision.

"I can save your sister, but you have to promise me you’ll stop harassing me from now on!"

"Okay, I promise!" Seth Warren agreed without hesitation. He looked up at Shauna Wallace, stood, and shifted Kirk Warren’s body in his arms.

A soft green light shone upon Kirk Warren, gradually expanding until it enveloped her entire body.

In the green light, the burns on Kirk Warren’s body could be seen slowly mending and repairing themselves. Because the burned area was so large, it took a full ten minutes for her wounds to heal and her original appearance to be mostly restored.

Only a few of the most severely burned spots still had faint marks, slightly different from her original skin tone, but they were barely noticeable unless you looked closely.

After channeling her superpower for over ten minutes, Shauna Wallace not only felt no weakness but actually felt she had plenty of energy to spare. Both the duration and the healing effect of her superpower were much stronger than when she was at level one.

She felt a surge of gratitude. ’If I hadn’t met Flora Bloom, forget about being able to effortlessly heal someone this badly injured. Without Flora, how would I have ever gained the power to negotiate with someone like that?’

As Flora Bloom watched Shauna Wallace pull Kirk Warren back from the brink of death, she marveled at the power of the Healing System. ’Although the recovery time was a bit longer than drinking spiritual water, this was only the effect of a Second Level Healing System superpower.’

’Given time for Shauna to grow stronger, she would definitely be a huge help in the great war three years from now.’

She saw that Lex Cross had also witnessed Shauna Wallace’s use of her Healing System superpower to save the girl. She turned to him and said in a boastful tone, "So, what do you think? She’s one of mine. A rare Healing System superpower. Impressive, right?"

A deep curve formed on Lex Cross’s lips, and when he looked into Flora Bloom’s eyes, his own shone like stars.

"Not bad. But in my eyes, you’re still the most impressive."

Flora Bloom quickly sidestepped to dodge Lex Cross’s restless hand, then shot him a glare. "Keep your hands to yourself! People will get the wrong idea!"

Then she ignored Lex Cross and walked toward Seth Warren, who was still holding his unconscious sister.

"Wait!" Flora Bloom’s voice made Seth Warren stop in his tracks. He turned his head and looked at her with a hint of wariness.

"Is there something else?" Today’s events had forced him to leave his pride and everything else behind. He had lost too many subordinates; even if he went back and regrouped, his power would never be what it once was.

"Don’t be nervous. I just want to ask you, who told you Shauna Wallace had a superpower?" ’Although she was ninety-nine percent sure it was Lucia, some things only feel real when you hear the person involved say it themselves!’

Seth Warren let out a knowing sneer. He glanced thoughtfully at Chester Sawyer, who was sitting dazedly beside Heath Holden’s corpse, before turning back to Flora Bloom. "Flora Bloom, the affairs of this base are both simple and complex. Some people who seem friendly and harmless on the surface aren’t necessarily good people. As for Shauna Wallace, I heard it from one of my subordinates. Today, both Captain Holden and I have lost. From now on, I have no more business in this safe zone. You all better watch your own backs."

After speaking, Seth Warren left the area, holding Kirk Warren without a single glance back.
