Chapter 345 Ten Superpowered Individuals
Lu Xici raised an eyebrow at He Zhuo, her tone teasing: "You've even studied the patterns of gossip dissemination? Guaranteed to be both authentic and shocking, without leaving a trace?"
Shi Xu: "...You're worried about rumors spread by others? I don't see any difference between what others spread and what you spread yourself?"
Gu Qi: "You were so confident yesterday, your eyes were even more determined than when you were making an oath. Looks like your talent isn't all that great after all?"
Gu Wan: "Just a chatterbox..."
He Zhuo complained with a long face, "Mei Bao, Sister Wen Qing... look at them..."
Lu Nange blinked: "I also want to see how they manage to wipe out the entire team while eating sunflower seeds, and how they catch them off guard..."
Wen Qing: "Xiao He, why don't you do one right here?"
He Zhuo: "...Look, look...this whole family...they really are making things difficult for me, this poor little thing, from all sides..."
Chi Yanzhou took the map from Chi Yi and spread it on the table.
“The blue circles mark the various bases in Beijing…” He ran his long fingers across the map: “The green areas are relatively safe zones that are frequently raided by each base, and have most likely already been looted.”
His fingertip landed on the red area: "The red area has complex terrain, dense buildings, high elevation, many zombies, and is dangerous... but there might still be a lot of supplies..."
Lu Nange leaned over to look at the map, pointing to a logistics park: "Shall we try our luck here today?"
"Listen to Nan Nan..."
"Wherever my little sister goes, I'll go..."
Chi Yanzhou: "We selected ten people yesterday, all of them level three or four ability users. The base also has a level two space-type ability user..."
Gu Wan's eyes lit up: "Space-based?"
Chi Yanzhou glanced around and gave a soft "hmm"...
Gu Qi: "...Her name is Yu Wei, she's twenty-seven years old, her space is about 100 square meters, but she's a total weakling. Brother Yan said he won't take her with him this time..."
We've always worked with our own people, but with ten new members added this time, we need time to get them used to each other. The situation in the circled red area is unclear and high-risk; bringing even one non-combatant who requires special protection could hinder the overall team.
Everyone nodded...
The morning sunlight streamed into the courtyard...
As Lu Nange and her group walked out of the dining room, Grandpa Chi and Chi Qingyue, who were exercising in the yard, turned around at the same time.
"My dear grandchildren, are we setting off?" Grandpa Chi straightened up, his kind gaze fixed on Lu Beiye.
Lu Beiye nodded obediently: "Yes, Grandpa."
Grandpa Chi took a few steps closer: "Ah Ye, you're still young, why don't you stay at the base and keep this old man company?"
Lu Beiye: "Grandpa, it's my own idea to go. Don't worry, I'm very capable."
Grandpa Chi: "Then A-Ye must promise Grandpa that if you encounter danger, don't be reckless. If you can't beat them, let your older brothers do it... understand?"
He Zhuo: "Grandpa Chi, apart from Mei Bao, we probably can't beat A Ye!"
Grandpa Chi looked at He Zhuo: "Little He, keep your voice down a bit... Is it something to be proud of to be unable to beat a nine-year-old brother?"
He Zhuo choked: "Grandpa Chi!"
Chi Qingyue patted Lu Beiye on the shoulder: "Aye is young, you should look after him."
Then, turning to Chi Yanzhou, she said, "Also, Yanzhou, come back early... I have an appointment to slaughter a pig this afternoon."
Chi Yanzhou paused in his action of opening the car door: "Slaughtering pigs? Uncle, when did your hobby become so...unique?"
Chi Qingyue: "Slaughtering pigs only requires waving your hand with your superpower, isn't that better than worrying about these things every day? It's all your fault, you brat! I've been looking forward to your return to take over so I can retire..."
"Retire, retire, retire! What do you mean by retire!" Grandpa Chi interrupted him rudely. "Forty is the age to strive! All you do is think about retiring and doing nothing! Can't you at least try a little harder?"
Chi Qingyue... [Isn't seventy the age for striving?]
The old man turned his head and his expression instantly changed. He said kindly to Lu Nange and the others, "Don't pay any attention to him... my dear grandchildren, go home early."
Lu Nange and the others waved: "Grandpa, we're heading out now."
"Go on, go on, Grandpa is waiting for you at home..."
......
When Lu Nange and her group arrived at the base gate, the ten superhumans that Chi Yanzhou and his group had selected the night before were already lined up in full armor and waiting.
In the morning light, they stood in a neat row, dressed in identical black uniforms with flame insignia pinned to their shoulders, their posture ramrod straight, hands behind their backs...
Gu Qi stood at the front of the line, holding a document, his expression serious: "Those whose names are called, step forward and introduce your abilities and level."
"Yes, Captain Gu!" the crowd replied in unison, their voices loud and clear.
Gu Qi: "Chi Qi!"
"Chi Qi, Level 3 Metal-type Ability!"
A tall, imposing man stepped forward: "Zhang Ao, Level 4 Earth-type Ability!"
"Bai Yu, Level 3 Water-based Ability!"
"Li Jia, Level 3 Fire-type Ability!"
"Sun Shiyin, Level 3 Earth-type Ability!"
"Wang Xingchen, Level 4 Fire-type Ability!"
"Wang Xingguang, Level 3 Earth-type Ability!"
"Tang Ci'en, Level 3 Wood-type Ability!"
"Du Jiahao, Level 3 Ice-type Ability!"
"He Song, Level 3 Wind-type Ability!"
......
Three vehicles are ready: one Mercedes-Benz G-Class and two pickup trucks.
With engines roaring, the convoy slowly drove out of the base gate, rolling over the cracked concrete road and kicking up a cloud of dust.
The rising sun cast golden rays upon the car, giving it a somber and menacing appearance.
Chi Yanzhou sat in the passenger seat of the lead pickup truck, his eyes scanning the map and the road ahead.
Shi Xu gripped the steering wheel intently, his fingers tapping rhythmically as he activated his mental abilities, scanning the surroundings.
Inside the large G-Class in the middle, Luo Xingyou was driving, and Gu Wan was sitting in the passenger seat.
The three people in the back seat were Lu Nange, Lu Beiye, and Wen Qing.
In the pickup truck at the rear, Gu Qi held the steering wheel with one hand and casually rested the other hand on the window.
Lu Xici sat in the passenger seat, his eyes warily observing the surroundings.
Inside the truck bed, ten superhumans from the base clung tightly to the guardrail, braving the howling wind.
He Zhuo, Ji Xian, and Chi Yi stood at the very front of the carriage's cloak at the rear of the palace, ready to respond to any unexpected situations...
Along both sides of the road, no matter how vehicles detour, abandoned vehicles are everywhere, and the dilapidated building facades are covered with dark brown stains.
Every now and then, staggering figures would emerge from the ruins, roaring as they lunged at the convoy...
He Zhuo and his two companions, along with ten superhumans hidden in the car's cloak, began clearing out the zombies. Zhang Ao and his group wanted to ask if they should stop the car to collect the crystal core...
Just then, several emerald green vines suddenly shot out from the window of the G-Class, picked up the scattered crystal cores, and quickly retreated back into the car.
The ten newly joined superhumans exchanged shocked glances, and Sun Shiyin couldn't help but exclaim, "What is that?"
But no one answered her question...
