Chapter 391.
The Terrestrial Supers reacted with incredible speed.
The moment the attack came, earth walls surged up, blocking the assault.
*Clang Clang Clang! Clang!
Countless ice blades instantly plastered the entire earthy
wall.
Josie Quinn, who had been lazily sucking on a lollipop, suddenly stood up straight.
“Well, this is interesting,” Josie said. “The apocalypse has been going on for a long time now, and “‘ve finally met a high-tier Cryo Super!”
Cryo Superpower was actually a mainstream power. However, increasing the rank of an Ice-type ability was incredibly difficult and slow, and it was heavily restricted by the surrounding environment.
The six-month period of “The Freeze” had been the prime developmental window for Cryo Supers. If they had managed to level up their abilities during that time, they could have broken through and joined the combat ranks.
If they had spent those six months just trying to survive or being lazy, missing that optimal growth period, they essentially had no future. Once the global temperature rose, the
energy of an Cryo Superpower would be largely absorbed by the warm air the moment it was released, leaving very little power for the actual strike.
This was why Cryo Supers, despite having a powerful affinity, were often ranked behind Metallic and Lightning Supers-they weren’t even third. They were usually relegated to “farming” duties. Too many people had missed the window, turning what should have been a combat power into a utility for agriculture.
But the person blocking their path had clearly seized the opportunity. They had leveled up aggressively during the extreme cold. Judging by the strength of the attack, this person was at least a Tier-5 Super.
They were clearly someone very capable
Josie suddenly found herself interested in th
person.
“Friend, we’re passing through your territory. We don
mean any harm,” Josie said as she walked toward the gap in the road. If you think this path is
off-limits, please let us know if there’s another way through.”
Perhaps because Josie was a girl and spoke politely, the other party finally stopped attacking.
After a moment, a mature, authoritative voice came from behind the earth wall. “Where are you from? Where are you going?
“From Fort City, headed to Sierra City,” Josie answered.
*Rustle, rustle.*
The sound of footsteps approached.
A figure appeared from behind the wall.
She was tall and dressed simply, but she couldn’t hide the murderous aura surrounding her. She was a beauty, roughly the same age as Josie, with a very cool, commanding presence.
Likely because they were both women, the stranger’s gaze softened slightly when she saw Josie. “From Fort City? What are you doing going to Sierra City?”
“I think that’s our secret,” Josie replied calmly. “Are you a survivor from Quartz City?”
“Yes.” The woman nodded. “If you don’t have a mandatory reason to enter Quartz City, I suggest you find another route.
that?” Josie casually pulled a loaf of bread from her spatial storage and tossed it to her. Information fee
be the bread Josie threw. She checked the expiration date and the freshness, and her eyes instantly hit up. A Spatial Super!
Food? I can provide more information,” the woman said, though she seemed a bit embarrassed to ask. “I need a lot of food

Then depends on whether your intel is worth it,” Josie answered.
The woman nodded. Tais enough. But if you want to know the situation, in Quartz City, I think my information is worth something “Come, let’s talk over there fosse took the lead, walking toward the side of the road. She casually released a table and two chairs from her space Josie placed two bottles of water on the table as a gesture of hospitality.
The woman hesitated for a moment before following. She sat across from Josie and said, ‘I don’t need water. I only need food.” Josie pulled back the bottled water and replaced it with five boxed lunches.
Sure enough, the woman’s eyes practically glowed when she saw the meals. She even swallowed hard before speaking. “What do you want to know?* “Start by telling me about you and your team. Who are you? What tier is your Cryo Superpower? Josie asked with an air of indifference
She didn’t actually care much about the details. She simply admired the woman. In the apocalypse, “female” didn’t have to be a synonym for ‘weak.” As long as a woman worked hard and fought, she could stand tall and achieve great things just like any man.
The cool, mature “big sister” in front of her
was clearly that type. Josie felt a sense of kinship like she had found a kindred spirit.
