Chapter 36 S-level battlefield

However, both of them ignored him.

The colliding mental forces and the layers of ice crystals.

With the subtle sound of ice cracking, the entire laboratory seemed to be shaking.

The suppressed anger was successfully provoked, and Yan Chuanbai said imposingly: "Who are you protecting? Could it be you?"

Guan Shangchun returned it intact: "It's the truth. If you don't believe me, try it."

Yan Chuanbai's eyes were dark and he pursed his lips: "Okay."

Boom——!!!

You Tianxing was like a small boat drifting in a storm. While holding his instrument tightly, he quickly sent a message to Qi He with his hands free:

"A fight has broken out! Where are you? Come to the lab!"

"?"

Downstairs in the research institute, Qi He was watching the message.

He looked up again. The pure white walls reflected the sunlight, and he couldn't see what was going on in the laboratory from here.

In order to allow Guan Shang to fully demonstrate his abilities in one-on-one discussions, he was not present.

But doesn’t it mean that if the situation gets out of control, you should send yourself a message?

Qi He thought for a moment and then asked, "What's the situation?"

You Tianxing: "I can't do it anymore"

“…”

It turned out that You Tianxing was no longer able to do it.

Qi He thought about his laboratory and took a deep breath. How much did Yan Chuanbai's emotions fluctuate? He stopped and said: The strong never complain about the environment, but the environment may complain about the strong.

He put away the communicator and looked up.

Then a hand was raised in the air and grasped——

In the laboratory on the third floor.

Boom! A familiar gravity pressed down.

All the trembling instruments were nailed to the table. Guan Shangchun bent down suddenly and supported himself on the edge of the table in time! Yan Chuanbai's heart skipped a beat, his body swayed, and he stabilized himself against gravity.

Gravity retreated after just a few seconds.

There was finally a ceasefire in the laboratory.

You Tianxing held a pile of instrument parts and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

…

There was a moment of silence between the two sides.

Yan Chuanbai's heart beat faster. He looked towards the door. Was Qi He there?

Guan Shangjun's mental strength was suppressed, and he was exhausted from the previous confrontation. But he still felt a little unsatisfied and turned to look at the door.

Hasn’t he sent a message to Qi Qi yet?

The ice in the laboratory quietly dissipated as we waited.

In just a moment, the door opened.

Qi He appeared at the door, and both of them looked at him at the same time. Yan Chuanbai's eyes were dark and he moved. Guan Shangchun resumed his obedient attitude, his eyes filled with anticipation.

You Tianxing seemed to see the savior: "You are finally here!"

The system understood his eyes and said sadly: [Not a savior.]

Qi He skipped the system and looked at the surrounding environment first.

The ice layer formed around was sublimating at a speed visible to the naked eye and disappearing bit by bit: It seems that after evolving, Yan Chuanbai learned to control the temperature of the ice below the melting point and to a certain extent affect the humidity of the surrounding environment.

"Qi Qi."

"Qi He."

Two voices sounded at the same time, drawing his attention back.

He withdrew his thoughts and saw Yan Chuanbai standing in front of him, his eyes fixed on him calmly: "Why are you here?"

Guan Shangchun came over nearby and said, "He was really furious with me."

Yan Chuanbai sneered: "Why don't you tell me why?"

Qi He looked back and forth: "Why?" He also wanted to know what Guan Shang had provoked.

After that, both of them kept silent.

Qi He, "?"

Exclude him?

…never mind, the reason doesn’t matter.

After all, it was his own request, so he looked at Guan Shangchun and asked, "Are you okay, Guan Shang?"

Guan Shangchun's eyes were sparkling. "It's okay, don't worry about me."

"That's good."

Yan Chuanbai: “…”

He tightened his knuckles, and undercurrents surged in his eyes: Why doesn't Qi He ask him?

On the side, You Tianxing observed his expression, fearing that his babies would be strangled in the cradle again if he wasn't careful, so he quickly asked, "Do you guys want to go out and tell them?"

Qi He turned around and said, "Come out and tell me."

-

When we got to the corridor, the laboratory door closed.

Qi He looked at the two people in front of him.

Yan Chuanbai's eyebrows seemed to still be filled with anger. He knew that Yan Chuanbai hated Guan Shang, but he didn't expect the effect to be so outstanding.

He had not participated in the entire provocation process and could not judge it. But after all, he was the driving force behind it. Qi He thought about it and said to Yan Chuanbai to calm the situation:

"Calm down. I apologize to you on behalf of the superior."

After he finished speaking, he saw that the other party became even angrier.

Yan Chuanbai looked straight over and smiled: "Heh...why are you representing him?"

Qi He paused.

He was just considering whether to directly tell them that it was his instruction when the system popped up, weakly saying:

If Yan Chuanbai knew that you were the one who asked the officials to provoke him, you would be in for a disaster.

Its tone was more certain than ever before.

In the second Qi He hesitated, Guan Shangchun looked over with tears in his eyes and did not refuse: "Qi Qi..."

Qi He made a prompt decision and first stabilized Yan Chuanbai.

He thought for two seconds and said to Yan Chuanbai, "You must be angry for a reason." Yan Chuanbai's anger seemed to subside a little. Qi He continued, "If it's not for some unforgivable reason, we still have to fight the zombies together in the future. Don't waste time on internal conflicts."

Without saying anything, Qi He added the classic quote: "You...don't get yourself hurt by getting angry."

Guan Shangchun: “…”

System: [……] Absurd.

Yan Chuanbai's fingertips curved slightly, as if being brushed by a feather. He put his hand back in his pocket and said after a moment: "Okay."

…

He said "OK", and the matter was over.

Qi He looked at Guan Shangchun and said, "You have consumed too much mental energy. Go back and rest."

Guan Shangchun nodded, his eyes falling on Yan Chuanbai who was standing by, still on guard, "What about you, Qiqi?"

"I'm going to the fax room. Meng Yan sent me something."

"Well, then I'll go to the military headquarters." Yan Chuanbai said.

All three of them are going to different places.

The fax room was on the second floor below, and the military headquarters was upstairs. When they reached the stairs, Yan Chuanbai turned and went up, while Qi He went down to the second floor and went to the fax room.

When I entered the fax room, there was no one there.

He sent a message to Meng Yan, and soon the fax machine in front of him rang and started printing.

Page after page of activity reports spit out from the machine.

Amidst the sounds of "beep... sizzle...", there was a sudden sound of a door opening behind him. Qi He thought it was someone coming to print something until he felt the person was behind him.

He was about to turn around alertly when an arm came across.

Bang, his palm hit the edge of the table in front of him.

As he turned around, a familiar voice fell: "You have been speaking for him all day, are you afraid that I will hurt him?"

When Qi He raised his eyes, he met Yan Chuanbai's eyes.

Yan Chuanbai's arms trapped him between him and the edge of the table, his eyes lowered, filled with deep emotion. His cold and handsome face was expressionless, yet inexplicably tinged with a sense of aggression.

Qi He's lower back was pressed against the edge of the table, and his body curved as he leaned back.

He suddenly remembered the kiss Yan Chuanbai gave him.

Logically, the situation now had nothing to do with that time, but perhaps, it was because they were too close now.

Qi He paused, "...what?"

Yan Chuanbai tightened his arms a little, almost touching the front of him. A warm breath enveloped him, and he said:

"Didn't you say you were closer to me? Why does it feel like you care about him more?"

He cares more about his superiors?

Qi He's thoughts drifted away, and he recalled: He had just asked Guan Shang if he was injured when he entered the room. But didn't he also ask Yan Chuanbai not to hurt himself later?

As the warmth approached, his hands tightened little by little on the edge of the table.

Yan Chuanbai seemed to move closer, and his belt hit him. "Ask you?"

Qi He withdrew his thoughts. At such a close distance, his heart rate slightly increased. He thought for a moment and said, "Guan Shang's mental strength and martial arts are not as good as yours. Only you can hurt him."

I don't know which word pleased me.

Yan Chuanbai raised his eyebrows slightly and stepped back, "Yeah, that's right."

Qi He glanced at the distance between them and raised his hand to push him, "...Are you interrogating a prisoner?"

He pressed his hands in front of the person, not using too much force.

Yan Chuanbai leaned closer to his palm, his waist and abdomen trembled, and he smiled lightly: "No."

He got close to Qi He's ear in just a moment.

A scorching breath rushed down, and Qi He's tailbone trembled in response! He resisted the urge to push the man out and turned his head inexplicably: "Yan Chuanbai?"

But Yan Chuanbai just leaned in front of him without moving.

"I was careful not to hurt him. Don't help him next time. Otherwise, you will make me want to—"

Yan Chuanbai stared at his neck carefully, the feeling of being kissed constantly invading his mind. He endured it, just letting his breath stain it a little red.

Qi He felt an itch on the side of his neck, so he turned away a little.

Then he remembered that it seemed to be the place where he was kissed last time, "…What are you thinking about?"

After he asked, Yan Chuanbai did not answer.

Qi He was about to push the man away when something moved beside him. With a "clatter", Yan Chuanbai picked up the fax machine behind him and stood up.

"What did Meng Yan pass on to you?"

Only then did Qi He realize that the report had been delivered.

He took the paper and glanced at it immediately, "Hmm."

Seeing that he was looking at it seriously, Yan Chuanbai curled his lips and said, "Then I'll go first." After he said that, he turned around and pushed the door out. When the door opened, he paused for a second and turned back:

"I'll always remember what you said."

“……?”

Qi He looked up and the door had already clicked shut.

What?

He ran through his past quotations, which were thicker than a dictionary, in his mind, trying to locate: Which sentence?

For a moment, he only thought of what Yan Chuanbai had just said, that he was closer to him.

Qi He touched the side of his neck unconsciously.

Speaking of which, isn’t Yan Chuanbai going to the military?

-

Those subtle words and actions only lingered in his mind for a day.

Soon, it was replaced by more important things.

The data on Yan Chuanbai's supernatural power fluctuations was obtained.

I have nothing to do today.

Qi He sat on the sofa in his apartment, stacks of papers spread out before him. There was the report Meng Yan had sent him, and the perception curve of "emotion: mental power" that Guan Shangchun had compared.

Just as he thought, it was a direct proportional fluctuation.

The peak of the curve is much lower than when I broke through in the training room. When I fully release it, I might be able to break through 4S... maybe even 5S by the end of the "story".

Qi He lay on the sofa and blinked: "System."

The system has been eerily quiet lately, as if it had been poisoned and silenced.

[…What’s up?]

"It's been a bit too quiet lately."

His daily arguments no longer triggered warnings, the key plot had not come for a long time, and the base had not encountered a new wave of attacks.

The system wasn't calm at all. It said something sarcastic: [He, maybe.]

"..." Qi He sat up and said with concern, "Are you in a bad mood? Did your superiors give you a hard time? I can help you improve it."

The system's tone improved a bit: [...Humph, no need.]

He was trying to unblock a system that had somehow fallen into an emo phase when an alarm suddenly sounded outside the high-rise building:

"Beep—beep—beep—"

Qi He turned his head and said: This means the base has entered full defense.

At the same time, the communicator beeped a few times. He picked it up and saw the messages from You Tianxing and Yan Chuanbai coming one after another:

You Tianxing: "Come to the main control room quickly." 』

Yan Chuanbai: "Prepare for battle."

Qi He: Before the battle?

Without asking any questions, he put away the gun that he always had at hand and went straight to the research institute.

…

Just entered the control room.

Yan Chuanbai and You Tianxing were there, and Guan Shangchun and Yu Jiang also rushed over. Qi He saw a large area of ​​densely packed red dots above the screen, approaching at a very fast speed.

He walked over and asked, "What..."

He paused for a moment and said, this layout is not Base I.

You Tianxing took a deep breath and said seriously: "The headquarters was attacked."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

You Tianxing quickly explained the situation: "It's a wave of mutants, and it broke out without warning. By the time all the instruments detected it, it was already 20 kilometers underground outside the headquarters."

——It came from underground again, and on a larger scale.

“Headquarters is the heart of the nation.”

You Tianxing's face darkened. "No matter what, the headquarters cannot fall. We are urgently mobilizing all S-class combat and auxiliary combat systems from Bases I and II for support."

"All Bases I and II enter protective mode."

Qi He looked at the approaching speed on the screen: there was less than an hour left at most.

"How do I get there?"

Yan Chuanbai said, "Each base has a small helicopter with limited energy, which is only used in emergencies."

A thought flashed through Qi He's mind: If we use Qi Qi's plane and headquarters holds on for a while longer, we should be able to catch up.

"Let's go now."

You Tianxing nodded, "Qi He, you and Yan Chuanbai go, Yu Jiang and I will guard the base. Sir..."

He paused, and Guan Shangchun looked away, "I'm going too."

If the perception ability is used well, it can play a huge role on the battlefield. Qi He only glanced at Guan Shangchun, then turned around and walked out without hesitation, "Then let's go together."

The small helicopter has landed behind the institute.

He walked hurriedly down the corridor and down the stairs.

Qi He looked straight ahead and said to the person beside him as usual: "Can't you just not go?"

Yan Chuanbai: "Then I won't go."

The warning did not trigger.

It seemed that the key plot was not here, so Qi He took a breath and said, "You should go."

After a few steps out of the institute gate, the bright sunlight from outside fell into my eyes.

This is the first team battle among the three major bases.

On the battlefield, everyone's ability will be reflected most intuitively——

Especially the battlefield where all S-level combat systems gathered.

Ahead, the rotating propeller brought up a gust of wind.

Qi He grabbed the boarding pole and jumped onto the helicopter.

Level is just a reflection of mental strength, and he is already thinking about how to maximize everyone's abilities.

The author has something to say:

S-level battlefield:

Definition ①. The first group battle that brought together all S-rank combat and support combat systems from the three major bases.

Interpretation ②. Specifically refers to the battle for Qi Qi in base Ⅰ.

Qi He: I will push everyone to their limits. [Like]

You Tianxing: You did it. [melted]
