Chapter 105: Accidental Injury

Chapter 105: Accidental Injury

The next day, Zheng Liwen, who came to "work for free" when he went out of the base to do a clearing mission, discovered that Ning Fei had changed his lighter.

He was puzzled: "Why did you change another one? You also distinguish between the ones for use inside and outside the base?"

Ning Fei, who was originally staring at the scenery outside the car window, turned his head when he heard this, and stopped playing with the lighter cap in his hand.

"This?" He raised the lighter and shook it, answering the question irrelevantly. "Ha, this is windproof."

Zheng Liwen carefully observed the lighter for two seconds and confirmed that it was much more expensive than yesterday. But he didn't mention it, and only joked: "Why, you dislike my poor lighting of the cigarette?"

"You ordered well, but I don't dare to trouble you again." Ning Fei also replied in a joking tone, "Besides, once or twice is fine, but asking you to order all the time is a bit too ambiguous, brother."

After hearing this, Zheng Li looked at Ning Fei twice and suddenly said, "You are indeed quite interesting."

"Stop, don't comment on me." Ning Fei stuffed the lighter into his pocket. "Instead of thinking about my lighter, I should think about how to cooperate later."

Zheng Liwen looked at his actions and asked in confusion, "Why did you put it away? You're not going to smoke?"

"Smoking in a car full of people? I'm not that uncultured." Ning Fei made up an excuse, "I was thinking about something, so I found something to scratch with my hand. Did the clicking sound annoy you?"

"That's not the case." Zheng Liwen said, "But your serious expression is a bit scary. It makes me suspect that this may not just be a B-level mission."

Ning Fei glanced at him: "Oh, do you think I am dragging you here to accompany our team to die?"

"..."For the first time, Zheng Liwen felt that Ning Fei was difficult to talk to.

No wonder Yu Zhou told him before coming that it would be better if he didn't quarrel with Ning Fei, otherwise he would suffer. Although they haven't quarreled yet, Zheng Liwen already has a premonition that if he quarrels with Ning Fei, he will be speechless.

"Hey, Captain Zheng, don't worry, the mission will be fine!"

While Zheng Liwen was silent, the other members sitting in the front row started laughing. "If there's something fishy about the mission, our Captain Ning will keep pushing us and giving us many warnings. He'll go over all the mistakes we made in the past and all the possible mistakes we made. He talks at a machine gun-like speed, which can make people feel ashamed! But we're used to it. Captain Ning keeps giving us warnings because he loves us, hahaha!"

"Love is bullshit, isn't it disgusting?" Ning Fei complained, but there was finally a hint of smile in his tone. Zheng Liwen observed his expression and realized that Ning Fei didn't want to continue chatting, so he didn't try to find a topic to talk about and turned to look at the scenery outside the window on the other side.

The car became quiet again.

Ning Fei's thoughts involuntarily returned to his previous thoughts.

——Duan Yunhong will definitely come to interrogate me, most likely in these two days.

——How can I trick this guy?

***

Ning Fei and Zheng Liwen's "wind and fire combination" did not result in "no tiring work", but instead "the more they worked, the more tired they became", and ultimately ended in failure.

Zheng Liwen didn't have any ideas and thought that Ning Fei ended the attempt too early. Ning Fei glanced at him unhappily, "Of course you're not tired, just start a fire wherever you want, I'm the one controlling the wind, okay? There are so many trees here, if I lose focus for a moment, I'll be in jail for setting the mountain on fire. I shouldn't have listened to your advice and wasted my time, energy and superpowers with you."

As soon as his "machine gun" complaints started, Zheng Liwen discovered that his teammates all found excuses to keep away from him. It seemed that they were indeed afraid of being criticized by him. Zheng Liwen could only reply: "...I also heard it from others."

"'Hear it from others'? Regardless of whether others have actual cases or not, even if you and I have tried it out, I can't always partner with you. Don't you have to find another wind-type person? Forget it, let's not bother with it..." Ning Fei hadn't finished speaking when he heard the intercom's report from the temporary military and police team, requesting the psychics to provide support from the flanks.

Ning Fei immediately straightened his expression, replied "Got it", and then rushed over with his men. Zheng Liwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and naturally followed.

This team usually looks relaxed and lazy, laughing all the time, but when they are doing tasks, especially when facing dangers that may occur at any time, they are quite serious. Everyone does whatever Ning Fei says. Unless there is an emergency, even if the team members have doubts about the instructions, they will execute them first and then raise questions later. Zheng Liwen, who had integrated into the team, had no intention of seizing the command at this time and just followed the instructions. No longer having to worry about the so-called "wind and fire combination", the action efficiency of the two third-level psychics has indeed improved. The result of “1+1” finally changed from less than 2 to greater than 2.

Zheng Liwen even discovered that Ning Fei's combat qualities were no less than those of professional military and police officers.

He could even identify gunfire by its sound, and immediately warned the cooperating military and police team over the intercom: "Hey! Don't fire in this direction! Have you forgotten that there is a team of psychics on the flank?!"

The other side responded: "A mutant wolf broke away from the pack and headed to the flank!"

Ning Fei: "Tsk, got it! We will handle it, don't send trolls here anymore!"

After a brief communication, Ning Fei decisively took people to find the escaped mutant wolf. He held the gun in one hand, used the lightness brought by the wind to run in the front, and controlled the wind to flow and explore among the trees. Once he suspected something was wrong, his wind blade would immediately cut over. It is not necessary to cause fatal damage to the enemy, as long as it can make it howl, or just make a louder noise, it will be enough for the team members to identify the direction and concentrate their fire.

The team dealt with several peripheral mutants in succession and also "picked up" a young man who was left alone from the military and police team. However, this young man who was out on a mission for the first time not only got separated from his teammates in a panic, but also almost caused a disaster in Ning Fei's team.

When the mutant suddenly jumped down from the treetops and swooped down towards Ning Fei, who was the number one player, the young man fired the gun in his hand in a daze.

Bang!

The bullet went straight towards Ning Fei, but fortunately Ning Fei was moving quickly and the bullet just grazed his right arm. Even so, the bullet still cut off a small piece of Ning Fei's flesh and caused burns. The rip on his sleeve was immediately stained red with blood.

"Fuck! Don't open it if you don't know how to open it!" Zheng Liwen picked up the young man and threw him behind. The other team members immediately rushed to the front line and cooperated with Ning Fei to deal with the attacking mutants. Ning Fei's movements were still light as if he was not injured. When the battle was over, everyone saw that his blood had stained his cuffs and his fingertips were dripping with blood.

"Captain Ning!" The team members couldn't help but curse when they saw the situation, "Fuck, you didn't bleed in the past no matter what monsters you fought, but today you capsized in the gutter!"

"Damn, I just happened to bring this!" Another person took out a palm-sized spray bottle from his pocket and thrust it directly in front of Ning Fei, "It is said that this can stop bleeding quickly, use it quickly!"

Ning Fei took a quick look and found that it was the new drug that the research institute had recruited people with special abilities to test a while ago. He frowned and refused: "No need, it's just a minor injury, just bandage it casually..."

Before he could finish, several team members rushed over and stripped off his coat, then sprayed the wound on his arm with gunpowder.

Ning Fei: “…”

Ning Fei: "Well, I just got a shallow cut like this. If you stab me like this for a long time, the institute will ban you when you submit the usage report. You sprayed so much on such a small wound, why didn't you spray half a bottle when you pulled out the thorn and bled?"

The team members didn't care about these things. They replied with a smile, "I've already criticized you" and "Just use it, so what?", and then dispersed without wanting to be scolded. Later, they all returned to the car, and Ning Fei was still caught by them and bandaged. The craftsmanship was so ugly that Ning Fei was too lazy to criticize it.

This B-level mission ended without any danger, and Ning Fei was the only one in the psychic team who was accidentally injured by friendly forces. When the young man was thrown back into the military and police force, he was trembling like a sieve, and he was probably going to receive a full set of warnings, criticisms and punishments.

***

They all went home together.

The superpower team had to go back to the superpower center to sign in and make a brief mission report. Ning Fei felt that he didn't have any serious problems - or maybe the new medicine was really effective - so he decided to sign in first and then go to the infirmary. Unable to persuade him, his teammates followed him, so two of them came down, ready to take over when his injured right hand could no longer write. Zheng Liwen followed in for some reason, but Ning Fei couldn't control him, so he just let him go.

As a result, the team members waiting to help found that Ning Fei was not only still able to write, but also could write very well.

"Fuck, Captain Ning, you can write with your left hand!" The team members were shocked. "You write better with your left hand than with my right hand! Aren't you right-handed?"

Ning Fei: "With your dog-like writing, even an elementary school student can write better than you."

The staff therefore noticed Ning Fei's other hand and asked how the injury occurred. After knowing that it was one of his own who was injured by mistake, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, as long as there was no danger of infection, it was fine.

After the staff left to entertain others, Zheng Liwen approached Ning Fei and whispered, "There is something wrong with Huichuan's model."

Ning Fei said “Hmm?”

"If two teams are drawn together to fight like this, and one of them is irresponsible, the other will be in big trouble." Zheng Liwen frowned slightly, "You trained all your people well, but the other side threw out a rookie who couldn't even hold a gun, and you had to pick him up. The mistakes they made should be the fault of others. Logically, they should have learned a lesson from the bottom up. And how should they compensate you according to the regulations? They can't give it to you based on their conscience, right?"

"Come on, Captain Zheng, I'm just a team leader. This is not your territory. Why are you talking to me about team building?" Ning Fei knew what Zheng Liwen said, but he was not here to tidy up the workplace, so he didn't bother to care. He used the end of his pen to nudge Zheng Liwen who was approaching him: "Stay away, you're blocking my light..."

"Hey? Is that the director of the Superpower Center?"

The team members on the other side were looking around boredly, and noticed the gate leading to the center. They couldn't help but say, "Wow, they are a group of people, and they all look like leaders. Are they doing some kind of inspection?"

Ning Fei heard this and looked over, then was stunned.

Among the small group of five people, one of them was indeed the owner of the Superpower Center, and the tallest one... was Duan Yunhong.

Duan Yunhong didn't even know when he had noticed Ning Fei. The moment Ning Fei looked over, his eyes met his.

Zheng Liwen also turned around to look, and when he turned around, the part of Ning Fei that was originally blocked was completely revealed. Duan Yunhong noticed at a glance that Ning Fei was holding a pen in his left hand and his right hand was not raised at all. Looking more closely, Duan Yunhong frowned slightly when he saw that the right arm of Ning Fei's camouflage jacket was unnaturally dark.

He said "Excuse me" and without waiting for anyone to respond, he strode towards Ning Fei. Ning Fei didn't want to attract so much attention, but it would be even weirder to turn around and run now, so he just stood there, waiting for Duan Yunhong to stop in front of him.

Duan Yunhong stood in front of Ning Fei, first glanced at his hands, then scanned his whole body, and finally his eyes fell on Ning Fei's face: "What happened?"

"Friendly injury." Ning Fei replied succinctly, "It's not serious. Your new medicine is quite effective."

Duan Yunhong asked again: "Didn't you go to the hospital for treatment?"

Ning Fei raised the pen in his left hand and said, "Fill it in first, then go."

"Why, other people in your team can't read?" Duan Yunhong said, and suddenly stretched out his hand and took the pen from the person's hand. He seemed to casually glance at Zheng Liwen next to him, then stuffed the pen to Ning Fei's team member and looked at Ning Fei again: "Come with me to deal with it."

Ning Fei didn't want to be controlled by him like this, but if he didn't go, Duan Yunhong would most likely reach out to grab him. Ning Fei didn't want to fight in public.

"Okay, okay." Ning Fei had no choice but to follow him. The two walked a few steps forward, one in front of the other, when Zheng Liwen called out from behind, "Ning Fei!"

Ning Fei stopped and turned to look at him, Duan Yunhong also turned his head to look back.

However, Ning Fei just made a simple gesture, indicating that Zheng Liwen was fine and didn't need to follow, and then turned back to continue following Duan Yunhong. Duan Yunhong calmly adjusted his position so that Ning Fei's injured side was between the two of them, and the two of them walked out of the Psychic Center side by side.

It was not until their figures disappeared at the gate that the team members came to their senses. Especially the one who was stuffed with a pen, he looked at the pen in his hand with an expression of "I suddenly understand".

"Fuck...they must have a special relationship!"
