Chapter 15: Tang Tang’s camouflage ability is exhausted?
Everyone looked at the vans going away, and their hearts were filled with varying degrees of complexity.
One of the psychics couldn't help but ask, "Commander Chen, did you really not know that Ji An had awakened his psychic powers?"
Another psychic whose arm was damaged by the car explosion also asked, "Everyone in the base knows that Ji An has deep feelings for you. He is willing to sacrifice his life for you. He dares to join the high-level zombie hunting team as an ordinary person, and he never guards against you. It is not an exaggeration to say that you two are inseparable. Didn't you notice anything unusual about Ji An?"
"Ji An has always lived with you. Regardless of whether he was paid for his missions or not, you never lacked him for food, clothing and shelter. He and you have walked through the most difficult times together. Why would he suddenly betray you over a small matter when things were going well?"
These doubts were not new. When they first knew that Ji An had escaped, many psychics had this doubt. However, at that time, the mainstream was questioning and insulting Ji An, and it was not easy for psychics with doubts to express different opinions at this time.
This time their own safety was affected, and the psychics could not help but question one by one.
Chen Chen's face turned pale. He didn't know whether it was because of the questioning by the psychics or because he was too seriously injured. He smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know. This is why I want to know."
"Maybe it's out of love that he turns to hate, and he feels jealous that you and Tang Tang are too close." A superpower has always felt that Chen Chen and Tang Tang are too close, and something is wrong. "So after knowing that his superpower is so powerful, he feels that he has the ability to protect himself, so he rebelled."
Chen Chen still had a bitter look on his face. "I really don't know. I really treated Tang Tang as my and Ah An's child. When we rescued her, she was just a twelve-year-old girl."
"But don't you think the relationship between you two is a little too close?"
Chen Chen was a little embarrassed by the interrogation. He turned his head away and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. The first question now is how do we get back?"
This place is still a long way from their third base, but it is very close to the Jingshi base. However, they have just been beaten by people from the Jingshi base and cannot go there for help. Returning to the base becomes the first big problem to be solved.
Fortunately, there was a person in their group of superpowers who had the superpower of speed. He could rush back to the base first and then send a car to pick them up.
Otherwise, it will take forever to expect them to go back on their own.
The speedster was called Yang You. He said, "I can go back and call a taxi first. I can also take one person with me. If anyone of you is seriously injured, I can carry him back first."
Chen Chen said, "Take me back. I may have injured my internal organs. I seemed to see some fragments of my internal organs in the blood I vomited just now."
There was Song Pengcheng lying at his feet, unconscious and his life or death was unknown. His condition was much more serious than his.
Chen Chen noticed everyone's gazes and said dryly, "I know Song Pengcheng's injury is more serious than mine, but it is precisely because of this that I suggested that I leave first.
Song Pengcheng is already in this state, and it is unknown whether he is alive or dead. It is very likely that he is already dying. And my injury cannot wait, and it is very likely that I will die before I can be rescued. By then, neither Song Pengcheng nor I will survive. "
Chen Chen said helplessly, "We can no longer consider personal feelings at this time. We can only consider the overall situation. We don't have many superpowers in our base. Each superpower is an indispensable asset of the base. If we save one, we save one. The base can no longer afford the loss.
Even if it wasn't me who got hurt today, but someone else and Song Pengcheng, I would still make the same decision and say the same things.
Actually, I have another consideration, which is also what I am most worried about. I am the commander of the base. If something happens to me, what will happen to the base?
If the base is in chaos, what will happen to the residents living in the base?
I know that this is a good choice for both public and private reasons. Even if I am misunderstood as having selfish motives, I will accept it. "
Chen Chen's words were righteous and seemed to make sense. No matter what everyone thought, they kept silent.
This is also because there is no one close to Song Pengcheng here. The only one who is closest to him is Chen Chen. Song Pengcheng is Chen Chen's lackey, following his lead. He is usually proud and offends many people. No one is willing to offend Chen Chen, the base commander, for him.
After everyone discussed and determined the walking route, Yang You set off first, carrying Chen Chen on his back.
After walking for about ten days, they finally returned to the third base one night.
The base commander returned seriously injured, and this piece of news alone was enough to devastate the entire base.
Although it was the middle of the night, all the top brass at the base were up, and even many ordinary people were awake, poking their heads around to find out what was going on, fearing that something big might have happened at the base that would jeopardize their safety.
Tang Tang rushed in almost immediately. Her face looked very ugly and she had lost a lot of weight. Although her wounds had healed, her eyes were still swollen. "Brother Chen, how did you get injured so badly? Did you encounter a group of high-level zombies?"
When Chen Chen saw Tang Tang, a flash of impatience flashed across his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. Although he was in pain all over and wanted to roar to the sky, he still held his temper and said gently: "Tang, you are here, please help me treat it. I have serious internal injuries. It seems that my internal organs are broken, please help me treat it."
At this time, Chen Chen didn't know that Tang Tang's healing ability was just a disguise, and he naively thought that at least Tang Tang was still a person with healing abilities.
There was panic in Tang Tang's eyes. Her panic was too obvious for everyone to notice. However, no one thought about it and they all thought she was worried about Chen Chen.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Tang Tang wanted to explain but didn't dare to, for she was afraid of being torn apart by these people.
"Brother Chen, you know, my healing ability is an auxiliary ability, only level one, and may not be useful for your injuries." Tang Tang stuttered.
This is true. Low-level healing psychics can only treat minor injuries for high-level psychics. Because the treatment crosses levels, the treatment effect is almost negligible.
Speaking of this, Chen Chen had a headache. Space and healing abilities were rare, and zombies with space or healing abilities were even rarer. Chen Chen had spent a lot of effort to get a few, but in the end Tang Tang's abilities didn't change at all.
Chen Chen said: "It's okay, you can help me heal it first, it would be best if it works, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't."
"Okay, okay." Tang Tang almost cried, but still sat opposite Chen Chen, spread out her right palm, and slowly slid it about one centimeter away from Chen Chen's wound.
Tang Tang was not a real psychic at all. She could only imagine the state of a psychic when healing wounds. She felt that it should not be easy, not to mention that she was healing the wounds of a high-level psychic. She made a painful expression, as if she had endured a lot.
Tang Tang performed very well, but still could not satisfy Chen Chen. Chen Chen was really disappointed. He did not feel the slightest comfort from Tang Tang's treatment, or it could be said that he did not feel anything at all.
It seems that Tang Tang's healing ability is too low and is of no use to him. He has to find a way to upgrade it.
But even though he felt that the treatment was not effective, Chen Chen did not ask Tang Tang to stop. He was in real pain right now, both internal and external injuries. If there were no one around, he would have wanted to roll on the ground. Chen Chen thought that even if Tang Tang helped him heal the minor external injuries, it would at least reduce his pain.
Tang Tang pretended for a long time, but Chen Chen didn't call for her to stop. Finally, she couldn't pretend anymore, so she rolled her eyes and pretended that her superpowers were exhausted.
"Tang Tang fainted!"
In order to make the scene realistic, Tang Tang was so ruthless that she fell to the ground with a thud. She hit her head, which was extremely painful. She had to endure hard not to scream.
As soon as Tang Tang fell to the ground, she heard someone shouting, and soon a psychic came over to help her up.
"He must have fainted due to exhaustion of his superpowers. This is how a low-level superpower user heals a high-level superpower user. His superpowers are exhausted very quickly!"
"It's my fault. I was so anxious that I forgot all this. Please help me send her back first. I'll go see her when I feel better." Chen Chen said hurriedly, "Please pour me a glass of water. Tang said that drinking more water after her treatment would help her recover. In the past, she would give the psychic a glass of water after treating them."
Tang Tang used to rely on this to disguise herself as having healing abilities. In fact, her treatment was just a pretense. She mixed spiritual spring water from the space into water and gave it to the psychics to drink. Although the psychics did not feel any changes in their bodies at the time, they felt better after drinking the water, and they all regarded it as the effect of Tang Tang's treatment.
"Okay." A female psychic poured Chen Chen a glass of water, and the other picked up Tang Tang and sent her home.
Tang Tang calculated the time and woke up just as the time came.
"What's wrong with me?" Tang Tang asked weakly.
"You fainted because your superpowers were exhausted. You too. Why didn't you tell me that it was not okay? You insisted on exhausting your superpowers. This is a very dangerous thing. Don't you know?" said a female superpower user.
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I was too anxious. Seeing that Brother Chen was injured so badly, I thought it would be great if I could help heal his wound a little bit. I didn't expect..." Tang Tang looked full of self-blame.
The female psychic sighed, "Forget it, I can't blame you. After all, you have a special relationship with the commander, and you're too concerned about him." The female psychic said this with no other meaning. She simply meant to express that Tang Tang was saved by Chen Chen and raised by Chen Chen, and the two of them had a relationship like father and brother.
But Tang Tang's feelings for Chen Chen were not so simple. She heard something else and her face instantly turned ugly.
The female psychic noticed that Tang Tang's expression was not right, and she realized that she had said something wrong, so she left quickly.
About ten days later, the vehicle sent by the base finally brought the psychics back. Unfortunately, two psychics died. They accidentally encountered a group of advanced zombies and lost two psychics.
I don’t know whether I should say that after a thousand years of harm, Song Pengcheng is still alive and has returned to the base with serious injuries.
As a healing psychic, Tang Tang was called over again to heal the injured. This time she had no way to retreat, as there was a level one psychic among the injured who could heal them.
Tang Tang's heart was trembling, and she went to the treatment room while suppressing her fear.
Looking at the psychics lying all over the place and covered in blood, Tang Tang almost cried.
What should she do? If the cross-level healing didn't work, she could still find an excuse. But there were people with the same level of ability as her. If she couldn't heal well, her disguise would be exposed.
Tang Tang didn't dare to believe that he would be a person who pretends to be a superpower. By then, he was afraid that even if Chen Chen wanted to, he would not be able to protect him.
Just when Tang Tang was about to cry, she saw Song Pengcheng who was seriously injured and dying.
Tang Tang almost laughed out loud, and ran past the injured people to Song Pengcheng, "Pengcheng, I will help you with the treatment."
The joy on Tang Tang's face was so obvious, so obvious that Song Pengcheng almost suspected that Tang Tang actually hated him secretly, otherwise why would she be so happy to see him injured.
Fortunately, Tang Tang ran over, grabbed his hand and couldn't wait to heal his wounds, which dispelled Song Pengcheng's doubts.
Although Song Pengcheng is not as powerful as Chen Chen, who is a level three peak psychic, he is a level two peak psychic, which is considered an outstanding psychic in the third base.
As a level one psychic, even if Tang Tang really has healing abilities, it would be like a drop in the ocean and would have no effect at all.
Tang Tang noticed this and quickly pretended to be weak as her superpowers were exhausted.
"No, Brother Pengcheng, my superpowers are almost exhausted. Do you feel better?" Tang Tang covered her head, looking weak and worried.
"I don't feel anything..." Song Pengcheng immediately thought that Tang Tang was only a level one psychic, and said, "Thank you, Tang Tang. I feel much better with your concern. Don't worry, I will definitely hold on."
Tang Tang nodded with emotion, and Song Pengcheng said again: "Tang Tang, can you pour me a glass of water? It was like this before, when you healed me, I didn't feel anything. After drinking water, I felt much more relaxed. Give me another glass of water."
Tang Tang almost couldn't pretend to be concerned, but nodded anyway.
