Chapter 19 Spring and Autumn Squad
Do you know who's behind Fang Lu?
No, I don't know.
"Besides you, who else came?"
"I don't know either."
…
Du Jianshu didn't know the answers to the questions that followed. It seems that Fang Lu does have some sense and doesn't tell others everything.
Du Jianshu cautiously observed the expression on Suicheng's face, worried that he might kill him after asking the questions, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
"Get lost." The passenger kicked him.
Du Jianshu breathed a sigh of relief and scrambled away.
He had just stepped out when his companion said to the lawyer sitting next to him with his legs crossed, "You have a way..."
"have."
Before the attendant could finish speaking, the law master nodded solemnly, a vine appeared in his hand, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The passenger asked in confusion, "Do you know what I need you to do?"
Lu Zhi smiled and said, "Just a guess. Our Captain Sui is so easy to understand. He's simple-minded and can guess right with just a few words."
Seeing that the attendant was angry again, Lu Zhi quickly stood up, leaned close to him, and whispered, "Don't you think I understand you very well and am very useful?"
It is indeed useful, but do you understand it?
The person following the carriage had no idea where the law-abiding monk got the confidence to say such a thing.
Lu Zhi glanced at his neck, his gaze deep, then reached out and pulled him into his arms, whispering in his ear, "I don't understand you, so how can I like you?"
"Slap." Sui Cheng slapped him in the chest.
"Cough." Lu Zhi coughed up a mouthful of blood, startling his attendant.
He didn't seem to use much force.
"Are you alright? I didn't mean to, it's just..." He looked a little flustered.
It was rare to see him so unsettled; his eyes were filled with worry, which was incredibly captivating. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and reassured him, "It's alright. You know my condition; I'll feel better after vomiting for a while."
Sui Cheng rubbed his temples, feeling genuinely at a loss when he had just beaten Lu Zhi to the point of vomiting blood.
He said in a deep voice, "You rest here, I'll go out and take a look."
"Then you should come back soon." The lawyer looked aggrieved, like a little wife, and watched the passenger leave with her big, watery eyes.
The passenger shuddered and gritted his teeth, saying, "Can't you be normal for once?"
"Sure, take care, baby, I'll be waiting for you to come back." Lu Zhi immediately changed his expression and gave his passenger a playful kiss.
Accompanying passenger: "..."
…
As evening approached, more people were out and about, and many cars entered the city, with tents even being set up near the vehicles.
Sui Cheng attracted a lot of attention as soon as he appeared. Seeing that he was alone, many people came up to talk to him, mostly female ability users.
There's no way around it, that's the advantage of being good-looking. Even a cool guy can't resist the stares of so many girls.
"You're quite handsome, young man. Would you like to come in and have a seat?"
The person who invited me to ride with her was a woman leaning against the car. She had tanned skin, wore a sleeveless t-shirt and work pants, and was holding a can of beer. She was dashing and outspoken, a social butterfly.
"sit."
Seeing her companion approach, she tossed him a can of beer and asked, "Where did you come from, bro? You look pretty tough."
"Huaxia Base." Sui Cheng pulled open the can with one hand, tossed it aside, and glanced at the people surrounding him. They were all women, so he roughly knew which team this was.
"My name is Shan Qiu, the captain of the Spring and Autumn Squad at the Azure Dragon Base. These are my teammates."
“It’s written,” the attendant said.
The Azure Dragon Base has the most female ability users among the three bases, all because of Bai Su, the younger sister of Bai Xuefeng, the leader of the Azure Dragon Base.
Bai Su is famous in all three bases. She is known as the strongest fire-type fighter and has a bad temper. Half of Qinglong's base was taken by her and her female soldiers.
When the apocalypse came, she took in all the homeless and bullied women, trained those with supernatural abilities, and taught them how to survive and protect themselves in the apocalypse.
Sui Cheng had always admired her, so when he encountered Bai Su's women's group, he wouldn't cause trouble; instead, he would lend a hand. Although Sui Cheng was famous, not many people had actually seen him in person. Even Bai Su wouldn't recognize him here, let alone Shan Qiu and the others.
"Don't you have your own team?" Shan Qiu asked curiously when she saw that he was alone. "It's still inconvenient for a superhuman to act alone these days."
Knowing her good intentions, Sui Cheng said softly, "One of my teammates is resting, so I came out for a walk by myself."
"Brother Cheng looks quite young, how old are you this year?" The person who asked this question was a girl with a ponytail next to him. She was not very old and had her arm around a girl with short hair, with a teasing smile on her face.
The passenger casually replied, "26."
"26, that's young. Do you have a girlfriend yet?"
Sui Cheng rubbed the bridge of his nose. Every time he met a girl, he would be asked this question. Lin Zhi used to joke that it was because he was too handsome and popular. But Sui Cheng felt that he was not that kind of popular person. He thought that his personality was too cold.
"Sorry, Xiaolin is just a gossipy person, don't mind her," Shan Qiu quickly explained, giving the girl with the ponytail a look.
Sui Cheng shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
After a few more casual words to ease the tension, Suicheng finally got down to business, looking at the lights in the distance and asking, "Why are there so many people coming to Yancheng today?"
Shan Qiu asked, "You don't come here often, do you? There were already this many half a month ago."
Two weeks ago…
Sui Cheng stared intently and asked, "Why? Weren't the mutants in Yancheng wiped out?"
"Who said we came for the alien species?" Shan Qiu had drunk a bit too much, her cheeks were flushed, but her mind was perfectly clear. She glanced to the side and, seeing that no one else was around, lowered her voice and said, "Do you know what a crystal core is?"
Sui Cheng nodded: "I've heard about it before. It's spread throughout all three bases. They say it can enhance superpowers, but what does that have to do with Yancheng?"
"You're an ability user from the Huaxia base, you must have come here on a mission, right? Is it also because of the crystal core?"
Lying at this time would be easy to see through, so Sui Cheng nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I came for the crystal core."
"Actually, this isn't a secret in Yancheng. Someone captured a live high-level species with a crystal core inside. The person is in Yancheng and even spread the news, saying that he doesn't want the crystal core and plans to sell it." Shan Qiu chuckled and said, "Crystal cores are so rare now. As soon as the news spread, it attracted so many ability users."
The passenger calmly pondered, "Aren't you afraid it might be a trap?"
Dan Qiu laughed and said, "With so many superhumans around, who would dare to set a trap at a time like this? That would be like lighting a lantern in the toilet—courting death."
Sui Cheng shook his head slightly and said, "Not necessarily, we still need to be careful."
"Where does that person plan to sell the crystal cores?" the attendant asked again.
Shan Qiu said, "He won't show up. He always takes the initiative to find sellers, and if it's not suitable, he'll find the next one."
Sui Cheng's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "How does he choose a seller? Although there are many superhumans in Yancheng, not all of them can afford to buy."
“So you see…” Shan Qiu pointed to the lights nearby, walked around and said, “Now, half of the people here are famous superhumans.”
"I heard that even the captain of the Sunrise Squad has come."
