Chapter 20, Dual-Ability User
The convoy headed north. Because of the snow, the speed was slower than yesterday, but fortunately they arrived at the outskirts of Wuzhong City before dark.
The off-road vehicle stopped at the door of a two-story villa. Gu Yunqing opened the door and got out of the car. He gestured to the team behind him, and two team members got off the modified truck and followed him into the villa.
The owner of the villa had obviously left in a hurry. Jiang Ran could still see the uncollected clothes hanging in the glass room on the second floor, fluttering in the wind.
"Hmm?" Jiang Ran blinked, puzzled: It's a bit strange...
After the three of them went in, almost a minute passed and no one came out.
Si Xu, who had originally closed his eyes to rest, slowly opened his eyes, pushed the door and got out of the car.
Hearing the noise, Jiang Ran, who was staring at the clothes on the second floor, hurriedly followed him out of the car.
Someone pulled his sleeve, and Si Xu turned around to look at the little tail clinging to him, "Let's go back to the car."
"Si Xu, I think..." Jiang Ran pointed to the sunroom on the second floor, "It's weird there."
"Strange?" Si Xu narrowed his eyes and looked at the sunroom on the second floor. He paused for two seconds and raised his hand to wave.
The air was strangely distorted, as if it was split by an invisible blade. With the naked eye, the glass on the second floor shattered and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
The loud noise alarmed the people behind, and some people with special abilities got out of the car to prepare to meet the unknown enemy.
The glass shattered, and with it came a faint smell of blood.
"Ah." After seeing the situation on the second floor clearly, Jiang Ran let out a low cry of surprise.
At the same time, a strong wind blew towards me.
"Looking for death!" Pulling the girl who was about to be targeted into his arms, Si Xu looked at the empty spot in the air and waved his hand to suppress it.
The sharp Tang sword chopped down straight, leaving a trail of blood in the air.
After being hit by Si Xu's knife, the invisible shadow finally revealed its true face.
Jiang Ran looked at the huge creature crawling around in the snow and blurted out, "Is it a chameleon?"
A chameleon this big? It's about two meters long, right? And it has a mouthful of sharp fangs... It looks really ferocious.
"It's a mutated chameleon." Shaking off the blood from the Tang sword, Si Xu instructed the surrounding team members, "Remember to collect a blood sample before you deal with it and return it to Chen Yao."
"yes."
"I'll go in and take a look. Be careful and don't be careless."
"clear."
"Jiang Ran, let's go in." Holding the Tang sword in one hand, Si Xu glanced at the pale girl and said, "Don't leave my side."
"Yeah." Without asking to stay and wait, Jiang Ran followed him obediently and walked into the villa.
Gu Yunqing and the others haven't come out for so long. Does that mean there are other powerful things inside?
The villa covers a large area. In addition to the spacious hall, the first floor also has a kitchen, bar, study, entertainment room, cinema and several guest rooms.
After checking all the rooms and not finding Gu Yunqing, Si Xu took Jiang Ran upstairs.
"Huh?" At the corner of the stairs, Jiang Ran looked back at the first floor and his eyes widened, "Um, Si Xu..."
No response was received.
"Si Xu, the one on the first floor..." Halfway through her words, the man suddenly raised his hand and covered her mouth.
Before she could come to her senses, he forcibly pulled her behind the screen in the corner.
"Don't make a sound." He whispered in her ear. When she nodded, Si Xu let her go. "It's a zombie."
In order to avoid screaming, Jiang Ran raised his hand to cover his mouth.
Unlike the zombie he had seen before, the one in front of him looked more like a human being - with healthy limbs, flexible movements, and neat clothes. Apart from the two big white eyes without pupils and the bulging blue veins, there was almost no difference between him and an ordinary human being.
Zombies like these should be mutants that have awakened superpowers, just like human superpowers, right?
If these were just mutants, it wouldn't be any use hiding here and not making any noise - it could smell them - the smell of fresh flesh and blood.
Jiang Ran turned around and looked at Si Xu, asking him with his eyes what to do next.
Si Xu was also looking at her, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, which were usually expressionless.
Huh? Why was he staring at her like that? Jiang Ran felt uneasy, and began to wonder if he was going to throw her out to feed the zombies.
Neither of them made a sound. The zombie turned its body and sniffed around, its big white eyes fixed in the direction where the two were hiding.
It found them.
With this realization, Jiang Ran's eyes were filled with even more fear, and she subconsciously pressed herself against Si Xu's body, as if only in this way could she find a sense of security.
The little girl came closer to him. Si Xu raised his eyebrows and returned his right hand, which was about to be raised.
It seems that the reason why Gu Yunqing and the others didn't spread the news was closely related to this thing.
A zombie with awakened superpowers shouldn't act alone. Why did it come here?
…
Outside the door, the people who had gone in remained silent. Luo Rui dragged Xie Chengzhi to find Song Rong, glanced at the dead mutant chameleon, and asked in a low voice: "Captain Gu and the others have been in there for so long, did something happen? Do you want us to go in and take a look?"
"No need." Song Rong refused without a second thought. "If Captain Gu and Professor Si can't handle it, we'll just die if we go in."
"Huh?" Song Rong, a third-level psychic, didn't seem to have the courage of an ordinary person. "They're really going to have an accident..."
"We must retreat immediately," Song Rong said. "This is Professor Si's order."
If he was defeated, it meant that the enemy he encountered was stronger than him. Then, with the current team of psychics, even if all of them rushed forward, they would not be the enemy's match.
"Professor Si?" Professor Si again? "Are you planning to abandon your companions and flee?"
Annoyed by the girls' yelling, Song Rong spoke with a hint of anger for the first time: "What else? Go in and die?"
"you……"
"Besides, the current situation is still unknown. With Professor Si here, everything will be fine."
"Professor Si is only a space-based psychic. You..." These people seemed to rely more on Si Xu than Gu Yunqing. "You let a space-based psychic fight?"
"Huh?" Looking at Luo Rui, Song Rong's eyes were a little strange. "Who told you that space-type psychics have no combat power? Besides, Professor Si is not just a space-type psychic."
"What..." Not just the space element? Luo Rui blurted out, "Are you saying Si Xu is a dual-element mutant?"
A dual-powered person is one who has awakened two powers at the same time.
On their way of escape, they also encountered a person with dual abilities, but that person's energy was completely unable to support his dual abilities. In the end, he had no choice but to give up the weaker ability and focus on one.
Even so, dual-system psychics are rare combat forces and research subjects, selected from among hundreds.
"Yeah, we've been together for so long, haven't you noticed?" Song Rong replied casually, "Otherwise, why do you think everyone in our team respects him so much? You don't really think it's just because his spatial element is relatively rare, right?"
“…”
"Also, don't underestimate the Space System." Thinking of that person's fighting ability, Song Rong shuddered. "That guy in your team... the one who teased Ranran and got punished, his wounds were pretty scary, right? Professor Si loves to twist anyone who makes him unhappy..."
Thinking of her long-standing misunderstanding of Si Xu, Luo Rui's face turned pale: Is Si Xu actually so powerful?
