After entering the room, David looked around Sally's room. It was very clean, with all the furniture neatly arranged. The decoration style was minimalist, with a cool color tone dominated by black, white, and gray, which surprised David. He had expected Sally's room to be a typical girl's room, filled with stuffed toys and such.

After putting on a pair of slippers, Sally took out another pair from the shoe cabinet and handed them to David, apologizing, "Sorry, the house is a bit messy and I haven't had time to tidy up." Messy?

David looked at the neatly arranged furniture and spotless floor. If there was anything messy, it was the few books placed on the sofa.

"I didn't expect you to be so modest," David said as he put on the slippers and sat directly on the sofa, casually flipping through a book as if he were in his own home.

He glanced at the time on his watch; it was already past three in the afternoon. Normally, he should take this opportunity to kill zombies and collect mutant crystals. However, with the experience of living through another lifetime, David knew that today was not the right time.

Because on the evening of the apocalypse, the first batch of superpower awakenings would occur. Generally, the early awakeners were individuals with strong potential for superpowers. The earlier the awakening, the greater the potential.

Arnold, for example, awakened very late. He didn't manifest his powers until several months after the apocalypse. Generally speaking, those who awaken their powers later tend to have relatively weaker growth potential. Of course, nothing is absolute, and there are early awakened individuals who turn out to be useless, as well as late bloomers who are geniuses. Anything is possible.

Unfortunately, Arnold didn't have a chance to grow in his previous life, so David didn't know how powerful he could become. In his previous life, David didn't have the talent to become a superpowered individual, but this time was different. He had taken a genetic potion that greatly increased the chances of awakening superpowers.

David was looking forward to whether he would become one of the lucky ones in the first batch of superpower awakenings. When superpowers awaken, the brain experiences severe pain, which lasts for several minutes. That's why David didn't go out to hunt zombies.

During a battle, those few minutes of pain could be deadly and severely hinder his ability to act. David sat on the sofa, picked up a book, and leisurely began reading.

On the other hand, Sally was a bit perplexed. The current situation seemed to deviate from the plot she had imagined. David looked at Sally standing nearby and suddenly asked, "Can you cook?"

Sally hesitated for a moment and nodded. "Yes, I can cook a little."

David waved his hand, and some meat and vegetables appeared magically on the nearby table. "Let's have you prepare dinner tonight. I want to see your culinary skills."

Sally wasn't surprised by the food appearing on the table. She had already witnessed David's ability in the supermarket. Besides, she could tell that David wanted to keep his ability hidden from Angus and the others.

Of course, Sally wouldn't pry; she was a smart woman who knew what to say and what not to say. Moreover, she was currently the only person who knew David's secret, and she felt somewhat pleased about it.

"Okay, I'll go prepare now," Sally said as she picked up the meat and vegetables from the table, getting ready to put them in the refrigerator.

"Don't worry, it's still early. Take a break." As soon as David finished speaking, a cat's meow suddenly sounded. David looked up and followed the direction of the sound. He saw a pure black cat coming out of Sally's room.

The black cat looked at David with a hint of confusion. Sally squatted down and gently touched the black cat's head. She explained to David, "Its name is Cola. I found it downstairs. When I found it, it was only palm-sized, but now it's already one year old."

David nodded and suddenly remembered something. When it came to pets, he realized that he had forgotten Little Black in the room. He quickly put on his shoes, opened the door, and knocked on the door across the hallway.

Sally was puzzled, but suddenly saw David returning with a dog crate. Inside the crate was a puppy that looked like a local breed. "Is this your pet? So cute," Sally curiously looked at the little puppy.

David nodded and said, "Yes, it's called Little Black." David took a bottle and mixed some goat milk powder to feed Little Black. He realized that Little Black had already opened its eyes, while earlier in the morning, it hadn't. Its body had also grown bigger and its bones were stronger.

David was surprised. Could it be undergoing mutation? This growth rate was astonishing. David held Little Black in his arms, and it recognized David's scent, appearing very excited.

Its little tail wagged like a motor, and it stuck out its tongue, licking David's hand non-stop. It seemed to be very hungry. When David put the nipple in its mouth, it immediately bit onto it and sucked eagerly, even biting through the nipple.

Seeing its appearance, David simply got an iron bowl and poured milk into it. Little Black wagged its tail and happily drank from the bowl.

After finishing the milk, Little Black felt satisfied and started exploring the house energetically, appearing very energetic. It soon noticed the black cat that was curiously staring at it. Little Black ran happily towards it, extending its nose as if wanting to sniff the black cat's scent.

Unexpectedly, the black cat gave Little Black a smack on the head. Although it didn't extend its claws, it had considerable strength, making a "smack" sound on Little Black's forehead.

"Ow!" Little Black let out a cry of pain and quickly ran away, hiding next to David's leg, looking at David with a pitiful gaze. It barked at David twice.

David glanced at it, shook his head, and ignored it, continuing to read the book in his hand. The black cat, moving lightly, jumped onto the sofa and sat next to David. It didn't seem afraid of David, just curiously looking at him with its eyes.

David also looked at it curiously. Somehow, he felt that the cat's eyes seemed very intelligent. "Is it just an illusion?"

"The eyes of this cat seem very clever." David stroked its fur, which was very smooth, and its bones and muscles were very strong. The black cat made a comfortable sound and turned over, exposing its belly to David. "Meow!"

Little Black became anxious and started barking loudly at the black cat. The black cat glanced at Little Black with a contemptuous look.
