Apocalypse God Mode: Unlocked (Cecilia) novel Chapter 3

Cecelia froze for a moment.

The thin streams felt cool as they seeped into her body.

There was no discomfort at all.

Instead, she felt as if something were nourishing her from within, making her body lighter and more relaxed.

"What is this? Healing ability? Or springwater ability?”

She couldn't tell.

When she reached into the cobalt fluid again, it stayed still.

This time, it didn't form streams or seep into her.

Cecelia pressed her lips together, feeling confused.

And also—

She looked up at the vast, endless white space. "H-how do I get out?”

The question had barely formed when everything went black.

The next second, Cecelia found herself back at the doorway of the room.

She hadn't moved at all, still standing in the same spot as before.

"Cece, it's time for dinner."

Outside the door, Ivy walked toward her, holding a plate about the size of a palm.

Cecelia came back to her senses and decided she would study that strange space and the cobalt fluid later.

"Regina cooked today, Cece. The food's fresher than usual. If there's anything you don't like, just leave it—I'll finish it later.”

Ivy handed her the food.

Cecelia looked down to see meat and vegetables.

Before the apocalypse, it would have been just an ordinary home-cooked meal.

But after more than a month in the apocalypse, meals like this were rare for the team.

A portion like this was reserved only for Ivy, thanks to her healing ability.

She spent so much energy every day healing everyone's wounds.

In short, Ivy was the most important person in the group.

Otherwise, Timothy wouldn't have let a freeloader like Cecelia stay and make things harder for Ivy.

Ivy had once told Timothy, "I'm taking my sister with me. If Cece doesn't stay, neither do I.”

Cecelia's nose stung as she looked at the food.

No matter how difficult she had been, Ivy had never once thought about giving her up.

She always saved the best things for her, right up until her death.

"Cece?”

Seeing her standing there in a daze, Ivy gently pushed the spoon into her hand. "Hurry and eat.”

"What about you, Ivy?” Cecelia looked up at her. "If I eat your food, what will you eat?”

Ivy paused, then smiled softly. "I have a small appetite. After you are full, I will eat a few bites of what is left.”

"No.” Cecelia's tone turned firm, and she grabbed Ivy's hand. "Go get a plate. We'll share this."

"Cece—”

Ivy let Cecelia pull her downstairs, her mind wandering.

Had Cece really changed?

...

Their temporary shelter was a villa.

After pulling Ivy downstairs, Cecelia went straight to the kitchen.

All the team members happened to be there.

Ryan was about to greet Ivy, but when he saw Cecelia with her, his smile disappeared, and his face darkened again.

Especially when he saw the food in Cecelia's hands, his temper flared.

He sneered, "I really don't understand how someone who slept at home all day can shamelessly take someone else's food. You've got skin as thick as a brick wall."

Cecelia ignored him.

She took a plate and a spoon from the kitchen.

Then she scooped all the meat and most of the vegetables into Ivy's plate.

Under everyone's shocked stares, she met Ryan's eyes and shot back, "Ivy and I like sharing one plate. She enjoys taking care of me. What, are you jealous? If you are, go find yourself a sister. But even if you do, she won't be your real sister, so she'll never treat you the way Ivy treats me. Go ahead and stay jealous!”

Everyone was stunned upon hearing that.

Ryan was at a loss for words.

So, she had learned to be smarter, huh?

What's she planning now?
