Chapter 75 She thought it was a rumor, but it turned out to be...

The group, who had just relaxed, immediately became wary again, since Big Black's behavior was really unusual.

The last time Dahei acted like this was when Su Xi, the mutated one, was involved.

Sheng Hui looked at Da Hei and saw it circling around her father. Suddenly, she realized something. "Dad, do you know Professor Lin Youtong?"

Sheng Jing did not reply immediately. He trusted his daughter, but he did not quite trust the people she brought with her.

Seeing her father's wary look, Sheng Hui explained, "Dad, they are my friends."

Seeing that Sheng Hui's father was still watching their team warily, Liang You stepped forward and introduced herself.

However, judging from Sheng Jing's appearance, it was clear that he was still very wary.

Seeing his daughter speak up for those people, Sheng Jing's expression relaxed, and his gaze returned to Sheng Hui. "Although I haven't joined any base, I know that many people are looking for Professor Lin."

"Yes, our mission this time is also to invite Professor Lin to join our Base No. 3."

Since they were all acquaintances, Liang You simply told the truth. In any case, even if she didn't say it, Sheng Hui would definitely say it anyway.

"You're not here to arrest Professor Lin?" Sheng Jing looked at his daughter, his expression somewhat puzzled.

"Of course not."

Seeing that his daughter had spoken, Sheng Jing was finally relieved.

But the others also became suspicious. Liang You, listening, felt something was amiss. "Uncle Sheng, do you mean someone else wants to arrest Professor Lin?"

Finding and catching are not the same thing.

Liang You remembered that the leader of the base had instructed her to invite Professor Lin to their Base No. 3. If it were really to harm Professor Lin, she might not have accepted this mission.

Sheng Jing looked at his daughter, making sure she was safe again, before nodding and saying, "Professor Lin does have some research data on the zombie virus, but someone wants to destroy it."

"How could this happen?" Zhang Jian asked in surprise. "Uncle, do you know who did it?"

"I don't know, the other party seems to be very wary of this thing." Sheng Jing didn't know either.

"Could it be like Su Xi, a zombie? If this zombie virus antibody is really developed, it will be the most harmful to zombies, and they will definitely try their best to destroy it," Yuan Wu speculated.

"Not necessarily. They could also be people with superpowers. If the zombies are gone, people with superpowers will have no use for them. That's why they don't want Professor Lin to develop a drug to combat the zombie virus," Tao Min said.

“There’s no use in making wild guesses, Uncle Sheng. Could you please take us to see Professor Lin? We really are here to pick up Professor Lin, please believe us,” Liang You said.

For his daughter's sake, Sheng Jing nodded, "I can introduce you to her, but whether she's willing to go with you is up to her."

It was from her father that Sheng Hui learned that her parents and Professor Lin were actually high school classmates.

If they hadn't come out looking for Sheng Hui, they wouldn't have encountered Professor Lin and her students. When they met, Professor Lin and her group were surrounded by zombies. Sheng Jing only recognized her classmate after helping them.

Professor Lin didn't know where to go either. Since they were his old classmates who had awakened superpowers, he decided to set off with them, thinking he would just go wherever they ended up.

Of the group, Sheng Jing had the most powerful superpower, so whenever they arrived at a new place, Sheng Jing would settle everyone down first and then go out to find supplies.

Even knocking on the door requires a code word. If the code word is wrong, just pretend no one is home and never open the door.

The door was opened a crack.

"Mr. Sheng." The student who opened the door breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Sheng Jing return.

But when he saw the person behind Sheng Jing, his smile froze on his face.

"Who are they?"

“This is my daughter, Sheng Hui. The others are my daughter’s friends. Don’t be afraid, they are all people with superpowers.”

The people inside the house came out when they heard the noise.

"Is Lao Sheng back?"

Ji Yu walked out of the house and the first thing she saw was her daughter, Sheng Hui.

"Is it really a drawing?"

"Mom, it's me."

Seeing that her parents were safe and sound, Sheng Hui's eyes welled up with tears.

Nothing could excite her more than the news that her parents were safe and sound.

"It really is my Huihui, I'm so glad you're alright." Ji Yu also hugged her daughter tightly with tears in her eyes.

Since losing contact with her daughter, Ji Yu has been constantly worried about her.

The journey with Lao Sheng to find his daughter was not peaceful. The more setbacks they encountered, the more frightened Ji Yu became. She even had nightmares at night, dreaming of her painting being surrounded by zombies.

She also dreamt that her painting was covered in blood and begged her for help.

She didn't know where her daughter was, and she lived in constant fear.

Although Ji Yu was worried and afraid, perhaps it was a mother's heart that connected her with her daughter, and she always felt that her painting was waiting for her and her husband somewhere.

Upon seeing that she was safe and sound, I couldn't help but cry tears of joy.

Thank goodness, her daughter is safe and sound.

Sheng Hui was also very excited. Looking at her mother, tears welled up in her eyes. "Mom, I'm fine, really fine. Look how much weight you've lost."

"You're one of those people, aren't you?"

Both mother and daughter felt that the other had suffered a lot.

Professor Lin Youtong stood there watching them, a smile on her lips, "It's so good to see Huihui. Your family is finally reunited."

Ji Yu quickly introduced her daughter to Lin Youtong.

"How come I've never heard of you and my dad having such an accomplished old classmate before?"

“I told you, don’t you remember?” Ji Yu said, patting Sheng Hui’s hand.

Sheng Hui then remembered that after she found out her college entrance exam results, her parents did mention that one of their high school classmates, who had consistently ranked first in her class, had become a professor at a university, and they asked Sheng Hui if she wanted to go there.

At that time, Sheng Hui wasn't interested in that major, so her parents never brought it up again.

So they were talking about Professor Lin.

This was an unexpected surprise for Sheng Hui.

From the moment Ji Yu and Sheng Jing saw their daughter, they wanted to go with her.

But then I thought about how someone had done something bad to Professor Lin. After all, they were friends of many years, and I couldn't just abandon my old friend once I found my daughter.

Liang You and the others persuaded Professor Lin to return to the base with them, speaking very sincerely and repeatedly assuring him that they had absolutely no intention of harming him.

Seeing how sincere they were, Professor Lin looked at Sheng Hui's parents. They had come to find their daughter, and now that they had found her, they would naturally follow her.

Out of respect for Sheng Hui's parents, he agreed to go back to Base No. 3 with them.

She was accompanied by three students.

“Of course, there’s no problem with that. They are your students and your assistants, so their help is definitely indispensable,” Liang You said immediately.

Professor Lin nodded politely; this team did indeed seem much better than the ones she had encountered before. The team leader was also a very nice person; you can't lie with your eyes.

You can tell from their way of dealing with people that they are good people. Before meeting her old friend, Professor Lin had also met some people in superpowered teams. It was a five-person team. She only remembered that the captain's surname was Yan, which gave her a very uncomfortable feeling.

And the woman beside him, she spoke softly and gently, but there was always something off about her.

She not only brought students with her, but also carried some virus samples with her. Those two people were always trying to get information out of her, both openly and secretly.

Fortunately, she and her students weren't stupid; they managed to fool them as best they could. When they realized that she and her students were no longer of any use, those people abandoned them and ran away overnight.

"Luckily, our car is big enough, otherwise we wouldn't be able to fit so many people," Tao Min remarked.

Everyone was quite surprised to see their modified car, but they didn't say anything.

After getting on the bus, Sheng Hui leaned against her mother, holding her hand tightly, and listened to her mother's stories of the journey.

“Your father and I first went to your school, but we couldn’t find you anywhere. But your father and I firmly believe that you are still alive.”

"I also believe you are still alive."

It was this trust between family members that finally allowed them to meet.

Sheng Hui also briefly explained her situation. Like her mother, she only reported good news and not bad news, but they both knew how difficult the journey had been.

Sheng Hui didn't want to hide her special physical condition from her parents, but it wasn't easy to say it to so many people.

Unexpectedly, some unexpected changes still occurred.

Because someone spread the word that Sheng Hui's blood could cure the zombie virus, everyone in the base has now received the news.

They have issued a warrant to bring Sheng Hui back, and will use any means necessary if required.

A person can be injured, but not die.

Living organisms are the best for research.

The base leader naturally knew Sheng Hui and that she had been assigned to Liang You's group.

Therefore, the leader used a pager to order Liang You to immediately return to base with the entire squad, without needing them to continue the mission.

Before their team could report finding Professor Lin to the base, their leader's message arrived first. Although he didn't specify what it was about, Liang You sensed something was off about the leader's tone.

According to the leader, the most important person right now is Professor Lin. Asking them to abandon Professor Lin and return to the base seems a bit off.

Liang You trusted her intuition quite a bit; when she saw the message, she had a very bad feeling.

Even if you can't completely trust your premonitions, at least your own premonitions are reliable.

She had the car slowed down. Suddenly, she wasn't in such a hurry to go back anymore; she had a feeling that going back wouldn't bring anything good.

Liang You tentatively replied to the leader, and upon seeing the message that came back, her expression turned somewhat grim.

She said she had already received news of Professor Lin and was about to find him, and requested a postponement of her return to the base.

The leader actually told her not to worry about Professor Lin for now, that he would send others to find Professor Lin, and that she must bring Sheng Hui back safely and not disturb Sheng Hui.

But the more this happened, the stronger Liang You's unease became.

She continued to emphasize Professor Lin's matter, but never revealed that she had actually found him.

Since the leader was hiding something from her, she naturally wouldn't tell him the truth.

Finally, the leader actually asked her to give him her location, and he would send someone to pick them up.

This attitude is too strange. Liang You directly asked the leader why she insisted on bringing Sheng Hui back. If she didn't answer, she wouldn't accept this mission.

After a long wait, the leader finally sent a message.

Looking at the message on the pager, Liang You took a long time to come back to her senses, her brows furrowed, feeling utterly absurd.

She refuted the leader's words, but to her surprise, the leader promised that as long as she brought the person back safely, he could improve her status in the base and give her a lot of crystal cores.

Liang You was so angry that she almost smashed the pager.

"Boss, what happened?" Hu Lai asked as he walked over, noticing Liang You's pale face.

Liang You didn't say anything, but during the break, she called Sheng Hui out alone.

Upon seeing the message, Sheng Hui frowned. So far, only Yan Ji and the others knew about her special physique.

Yan Ji is definitely dead. The only ones who could have leaked the information are Li Lulu and a few others.

Sheng Hui twitched the corner of her mouth. Yan Ji had already self-destructed, but he still couldn't take them with him in death. What a pity.

I don't know if they didn't die, or if some of them died.

Sheng Hui was now regretting that she hadn't gone back to check the scene herself because she was worried that Liang You and the others would see it.

She was just too careless.

No need for regrets. Just look at the situation now. Those who are destined to die will die eventually.

Seeing the words floating before her eyes, Sheng Hui felt much calmer.

"What exactly happened? Can you tell me?"

Liang You ignored the benefits promised to her by the leader and directly showed the message to Sheng Hui.

She knew Sheng Hui had a secret, but everyone has things they can't talk about. Besides, Sheng Hui worked well with everyone in the team, so there was no need to force her to reveal her secret.

Now that the leader has sent out such a message, it means that this matter is not only known to Base Three, but also to people in other bases.

To put it more dramatically, everyone knows that Sheng Hui's blood can resist the zombie virus.

Some people might take it as a joke, but they can't gamble on that one in a million chance. Some people, in order to survive, won't care about the truth of the matter and will definitely do anything to capture Sheng Hui and extract her blood for research.

“I’m not forcing you to tell me, but we’re in a very passive position right now. I want to know what happened, Sheng Hui, can you tell me?”

Liang You thought of Sheng Hui's spatial ability. Her spatial ability could produce those special secret weapons. Perhaps because this was known to others, someone wanted to seize the weapons in her space, so they spread rumors.

As for the claim about drinking blood, that's utterly absurd. The person who fabricated such a rumor is the most malicious.

Sheng Hui looked at Liang You and said, "Of course I can tell you, Captain Liang. I know you are a person with a sense of justice. I hope that after you hear this, we can resolve any issues ourselves. Just come at me and don't involve my parents or Professor Lin."

Liang You was even more puzzled.

But Sheng Hui's next words shocked Liang You so much that her face changed color.

She was about to speak when she subconsciously glanced around, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was around. "It's a lie, right? How could such a thing happen?"

"It's true. Whenever Yan Ji and the others encountered zombies, they would drink my blood to fight them."

"Drinking blood?" Liang You simply couldn't understand what kind of human would think of drinking the blood of their companion.

She still had some disbelief about Sheng Hui's special physique.

"It seems the leaders believe what you said, which is why they asked me to take you back first," Liang You murmured.

"Captain Liang, thank you for your trust in me, and thank you for telling me that I can leave with my parents and Professor Lin, and that I can protect them myself. It's just that it will make it difficult for you to explain yourself, and the base might cause you trouble."

With Sheng Hui's current abilities, protecting so many people is not a problem.

Moreover, she also has Big Black and Sisi, as well as skills that haven't been revealed yet.

Dad also awakened his superpowers, and they were able to live a good life together.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We're teammates, we're partners, how could I abandon you at a time like this?"

Liang You could imagine what would happen to Sheng Hui if she took her back to the base, so she definitely wouldn't take Sheng Hui back with her.

But she was also worried about letting her act alone.

Whether it's true or false, there will always be some people who will be taken advantage of by this rumor.

"What about the others?" Sheng Hui was confident she could convince her parents, but what about the other ability users?

Did they know if she would be tempted by this offer, so they kidnapped Sheng Hui's parents and threatened her to surrender?

Sheng Hui dared not gamble. Liang You's superpowered team members were indeed very good, but her constitution was too special, and she dared not gamble on people's hearts.

Liang You also grabbed her short hair in frustration. The news was too sudden, and her mind was a mess. She couldn't make sense of it. She looked at Sheng Hui, and a flash of inspiration struck her. She suddenly thought of something.

"You killed Su Xi, didn't you?"

Sheng Hui touched her wrist and nodded.

"You have superpowers too, right? Not just spatial abilities, but when we fought with Li Lulu and the others, our sudden increase in superpowers was also related to you, wasn't it?"

Sheng Hui nodded. "Yes, my special ability is indeed very special."

Liang You breathed a sigh of relief. "That makes things easier."

"Captain Liang, what do you plan to do?"

"To be honest with everyone, we're not going back to the base. At this time, we must all unite."

If there are any disunited individuals, take the opportunity to kick them out; Liang You doesn't want the team to have internal strife at a time like this.

The more chaotic things get, the more they need to unite.

Should I explain my situation?

“Tell us half of it. We need a reason for suddenly not returning to the base. Tell everyone about this, but don’t mention your special ability yet. In case anyone gets suspicious, we’ll have a backup plan.” Liang You took a deep breath; she really didn’t want to doubt her partner.

But Sheng Hui's situation was completely beyond her comprehension.

She thought it was a rumor, but it turned out to be true.

However, Sheng Hui's constitution was not as strange as the rumors suggested.

Sheng Hui had already understood Liang You's meaning.

"Thank you for helping me, boss."

Liang You was still a little embarrassed, "I was just thinking about my original dream."

Her biggest dream is to be a hero who saves the world. Now that people know about Sheng Hui's situation, someone will definitely want to capture her, and Professor Lin is also here.

Their determination to protect Sheng Hui and Professor Lin means they are destined to make enemies of many people.

Liang Youzhen felt like a hero.

While Liang You could still joke around in front of Sheng Hui, her expression became much more serious when she called a meeting.

She explained Sheng Hui's special physical condition and also observed everyone's expressions.

Everyone was just surprised. They had the same thought as Liang You at first: they all felt that this rumor was too outrageous.

Ji Yu nervously gripped her daughter's hand, "Is this true? What should we do?"

Sheng Jing said, "Huihui, don't be afraid. Daddy's here. He won't let anyone hurt you."

Professor Lin was surprised for a moment, but didn't ask any further questions.

Professor Lin's students remained silent. Sheng Hui had a special constitution, but they were just ordinary people. In a real dangerous situation, it wouldn't be of much use to them.

The current situation is that this message has spread far and wide, and they are wondering what to do next.
