Chapter 149, Victory
It penetrates the skin and directly acts on the water in the body of the organism. Now these stiff zombies in front of us are not unable to move because of the force of space, but are all frozen in place by Si Xu's water-based ability?
"But, after the supernatural power disappears, will they continue to be alive and kicking?" Jiang Ran was very worried.
Zombies are not human.
They are already dead things, and what are moving now are actually just viruses that are alive with the help of human bodies.
After a while, when the ice solidified in their bodies melts, won't they be able to move freely again?
"Why are you so stupid?" Si Xu sighed, turned around, picked up a mutant bird and handed it to Jiang Ran, "Look carefully."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran moved closer to take a closer look. Apart from being hard, he didn't find anything different.
The girl tilted her head and studied hard, which was really cute. Si Xu chuckled and reminded her, "Look at your head."
Jiang Ran was puzzled and reached out to pinch the feather-covered head. The touch of her fingertips made her stunned.
This is……
She brushed aside the downy feathers.
There were tiny pieces of icicles extending out through the skull.
"When water freezes into ice, its volume changes, idiot." Seeing her sudden realization, Si Xu threw the mutant bird away. "Even if my supernatural power disappears, their brain structure has been completely destroyed. They are dead."
I see.
Jiang Ran grabbed the man's arm, not concealing her joy. She jumped twice on the spot and shouted, "Si Xu, you're amazing!" Her clear voice rose a few notes again, "If it weren't for you this time, our base would be finished! It's all thanks to you that everyone was saved!"
The girls' shouts brought them back to their senses, and the psychics who were stunned by the sudden cessation of movement of the zombies also came to their senses.
"Professor Si... froze all the zombies outside?"
"This, this is too amazing!"
"We're both water-based esper, but when will I ever be as powerful as Professor Si?!"
"So, we've secured the base?"
An injured psychic wiped away his tears.
"I thought I was going to die here. I was scared to death."
"I thought I was dead, too, thanks to Professor Si."
"We won! Thanks to Professor Si coming back, we won!"
Someone cheered, and soon, cheers and cries of joy were like a wave, sweeping across the entire Xiling base.
Thanks to Professor Si, if it weren't for Professor Si, everyone would have become a zombie meal. Fortunately, Professor Si is back, otherwise the Xiling base would have suffered heavy losses in this defense battle...
Anyone who has participated in the defense of a city, whether they are a psychic or a military member, will say this.
Jiang Ran raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked at the soldiers who were cheering and hugging each other, with a sigh of compassion in his eyes.
No one wants to die, no matter if they are psychics or ordinary people. After finally arriving at the base, they have a place to survive, and no one wants to die.
"What are you yelling about?" Upon hearing that Si Xu had returned, Gu Yunqing hurried over and yelled at the huddled members of the Special Ability Team, "Why don't you go and clean up the zombies piled outside? Aren't you afraid of some infectious disease?"
The crisis was resolved and everyone was immersed in joy. Even when Gu Yunqing yelled at them, they still responded with a smile.
"Yes! Captain Gu!"
Gu Yunqing glanced at the young faces and thought of something. He said, "Those who are not injured should go clean up the bodies. The injured should go to the first aid room to treat their wounds first to avoid infection."
People with special abilities are not supposed to be infected, but the possibility of mutations occurring due to untimely wound treatment cannot be ruled out.
In the end times, it is better to be careful in everything.
After arranging the work, Gu Yunqing looked at Si Xu and Jiang Ran.
Seeing his serious expression, Jiang Ran thought he had important work to report to Si Xu. She let go of Si Xu and said, "I'm going to help the medical staff with the injured. You two can chat slowly."
Before she could walk away, she caught a glimpse of Gu Yunqing draping his arm over Si Xu. "Seventh Brother, help me up, my legs are weak... Oh my god, those zombies rushing towards me were really scary. I thought I was going to die. Ouch!"
Before he could finish his complaint, Si Xu silently shook off his hand.
Having lost his support, Gu Yunqing almost fell flat on his face.
"Seventh Brother, you are so heartless. My legs are still weak! Can't you be kind enough to help me up?"
Si Xu said disdainfully: "No."
"Wuwuwu, Seventh Brother, you don't love me anymore..."
Jiang Ran: "..." She turned back silently and pulled Si Xu's arm, "Si Xu, you just used up so much of your superpowers, why don't you go and rest first."
I originally thought that Gu Yunqing had some serious business, but now it seems that he just came here to act coquettishly.
Si Xu: “Yeah.” He followed the girl obediently.
Gu Yunqing, who was left behind, said: "Sister Ranran, I just used up a lot of my energy, why don't you let me rest?"
"Captain Gu, if I run into Captain Qin, I'll tell her to help you get some rest."
“…”
Although the crisis of zombies attacking the city was temporarily resolved, because there were too many zombies piled up outside the city, the staff had to switch from combat mode to logistics cleaning personnel.
"Luckily, Professor Si rushed back, otherwise we'd be doomed, the entire Xiling base would be doomed..."
"Professor Si is really amazing. No wonder even Commander Shen respects him so much."
"Hey, speaking of which, why didn't I see any zombies from the Shen family during this zombie attack?"
"Captain Shen Yang and Deputy Captain Shen Bai are here."
"Where's Shuai Shen?"
"Are you stupid? Shuai Shen is the person in charge of the base, how could he possibly come to the front line?"
"Tsk, what do you mean by responsible? Isn't this just hiding behind and reaping the benefits?"
"Shh! Do you want to die? Stop it! Don't you see Captain Shen over there!"
Shen Yang listened to the staff's discussion word for word, yawned indifferently, and felt a little bored.
"Brother." Shen Bai walked quickly to him, "Where's Youyou?"
In this situation, where did Shen Youyou go if she was not with Shen Yang?
"I asked her to deal with the zombies and mutant beasts that broke into the base. I don't know where she's gone now." Shen Yang replied absentmindedly, "If you're worried about her, go down and find her."
I want to say that what I am most worried about is not Shen Youyou, after all, that child is powerful. However, looking at his brother's nonchalant attitude, Shen Bai hummed and said nothing more.
"I'll go find Youyou." He turned and took two steps, then turned back to look at the man's bloody arm. He pursed his lips and said, "Let Yaoyao take care of the wound on your arm."
Shen Yang said impatiently, "I know." He then muttered, "Don't be like a woman, nagging and annoying."
Chen Bai: "..." Your kindness is taken for granted, you deserve to be in pain.
"Why are women so nagging?" A familiar voice interrupted the conversation, grumbling dissatisfiedly, "Brother, you are prejudiced against women. If other girls hear this, they will definitely beat you up."
Jiang Ran, holding a medical kit, criticized Shen Yang a few times, and without waiting for Shen Yang to reply, he pulled his arm over: "Ouch, was this scratched by a zombie? The scratch is quite deep, it needs to be bandaged with medicine."
She put down the medicine box and raised her chin: "Take off your coat, I will help you clean the wound."
Shen Yang frowned, still looking impatient. Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Ran took the lead: "If you don't take off your coat, I'll just cut it with scissors."
Shen Yang: “…” He silently took off his coat and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt.
Jiang Ran took out disinfectant alcohol and medical bandages from the medicine box and muttered, "I think Sister Shen Yao should take care of your wound. I'll help you disinfect it first..."
It was rare to see Shen Yang so obedient, so Shen Bai was not in a hurry to find Shen Youyou, and retreated back to the two of them.
"Ranran, can you bandage it?"
"No, that's why I try it on my big brother. Once I'm good at it, I'll feel comfortable helping others."
"Why aren't you with Si Xu? Where is that guy?"
"I let him rest. I saw that Sister Shen Yao was too busy, so I signed up to help."
“…”
Looking at the brother and sister chattering around him, Shen Yang sighed and turned to look away.
His long eyelashes cast shadows, hiding the complex emotions in the man's eyes.
