Chapter 51: The Superpower
After He Rui finished speaking, he shifted his gaze from the pistol to the protagonist. Turning his head, he discovered that the other party had been looking at him coldly again since he had no idea when.
"Are you done?" The man asked in a bad tone, his eyes dangerous.
"I'm done..." He Rui agreed timidly, pretending to be confused, "..what's wrong..."
Ji Changqing snorted coldly, turned off the safety, and put the pistol into He Rui's hand.
He warned expressionlessly, "If you don't want your hands, I'll take them off for you."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
He Rui hurriedly caught up and walked beside the protagonist, "Brother Ji, I have something else to ask you."
Ji Changqing stopped, his stern face full of impatience, and he frowned and looked at the person next to him.
"Well, I want to ask, can those Evolved Ones be killed with a gun?"
Ji Changqing didn't answer his question immediately. Instead, he raised his eyebrows, his eyes scrutinizing him. "You want to challenge the Evolver alone?"
He Rui thought to himself, what a fool!
The reason why I asked this question was mainly for the group of employees in the rich second generation manor.
The danger of the manor lies in what the protagonist said, that it will be occupied by evolvers in the future.
But if, the rich second-generation employees can strengthen the defense of the manor wall in the remaining twenty days, and find a way to stockpile some guns and ammunition.
When the end of the world comes and the evolvers attack, can these people take up arms, kill or drive away the evolvers who attempt to occupy the manor, fight for themselves and their families, guard the place that can avoid tsunamis and earthquakes, and turn the manor into their refuge?
If it works, it would definitely avoid the massive loss of staff that would result from employees being dispersed to respond to an earthquake or tsunami.
But he didn't know the strength of the evolvers.
I am very worried that if he incites these people to fight because of his ideas, and they fail to defeat the Evolvers, the situation faced by the employees and their families will become even worse.
That's why he wanted to ask the protagonist, a guy with experience and knowledge of the apocalypse, whether a gun could defeat an evolver.
"It's not that I want a one-on-one fight, but what I'm thinking is, if guns can kill Evolvers, I want to have the staff of He Rui's family stay in the Xixia Manor I mentioned to you last time to prepare for the apocalypse. I want them to use their weapons to drive away any Evolvers who might come over and try to seize their territory in the future."
He Rui answered honestly.
But I feel that his ideas may still be too idealistic.
Even if you can beat it once.
But the surviving evolvers held a grudge against them and became their enemies.
When they have used up all their ammunition, the evolvers will rush into the manor again, and they may end up dead.
As he thought about it, He Rui felt a little upset.
A hint of surprise flashed across Ji Changqing's eyes. He narrowed his eyes and scanned the handsome face of the man in front of him sharply, observing his expression.
No matter how good a person's acting skills are, he will never be completely flawless after long-term contact.
He almost never misjudges people.
Including Ji Xinghan.
Many times, he saw in Xinghan's eyes the malice that could not be hidden towards him, just like those lunatics who killed each other.
It's just that he deliberately ignored those malicious looks.
Now, judging by how this guy, who has never experienced hardship, has been performing.
Although this idiot is quite stupid, he is not a bad person.
In his opinion, asking a stranger about the situation again and again can be considered kindness.
However, he did not believe that a person's kindness would continue to exist despite changes in the environment.
After all, Xinghan was originally very kind.
Once he was attacked by the enemy, Ji Xinghan rushed over without thinking to help him block the knife.
That time, because of the wound infection and high fever, the other party almost couldn't hold on.
He was very frightened at the time, afraid that Ji Xinghan would die.
After running around the surrounding area, I finally found antibiotics and medicated bandages from a hospital.
Finally the medicine took effect and the guy managed to hold on.
He will never forget how excited and happy he felt when he almost lost his loved ones, but in the end, his loved ones recovered little by little and did not abandon him.
Ji Changqing's eyes darkened, and an indelible haze was swirling in his eyes.
When I think back to the past, my heart aches dully.
He wondered when that guy started to change.
He had originally believed that the friendship between their brothers was enough to allow the other party to overcome the evil thoughts he had towards him due to pain and instinct.
But unexpectedly, on the scale in Ji Xinghan's heart, he still lost in the end.
Human nature cannot stand the test.
Ji Changqing's eyes were dark as he stared gloomily at the guy in front of him. Because of his long silence, he had a stupid expression on his face, with his eyebrows raised and lowered, and doubt written all over his face.
He wanted to see how long this fool's kindness could last in the future.
If we give this guy a little more difficulty, we might soon see him transform from a kind person to a selfish and greedy person.
But he couldn't help but think again.
If this guy could always be protected, have enough food and water, and not experience any setbacks.
Is it possible that this person will not follow the same path as Ji Xinghan and will be able to maintain this naiveté and stupidity forever?
Ji Changqing's eyes were filled with complex emotions, and his fists slowly clenched.
If he had acquired the domain five years ago, would everything have been different?
.......
He Rui listened to the inexplicably sad background music, and when he saw the protagonist's depressed look, he understood what had happened.
Although the protagonist seems to be looking at him, his thoughts are obviously far away, his eyes are empty and unfocused, and he is probably thinking about something sad, and it is raining heavily in his heart.
He Rui looked at the man, who looked like he would not live for many days. He was afraid that if he turned around, the guy would find a place to hang him in the warehouse.
"Brother Ji? Ji Changqing?" He called out softly twice.
The other party did not respond.
He Rui reached out and patted the man's shoulder, opening his mouth to ask, "Are you okay?"
Before he could finish his words, the other party quickly came back to his senses and the background music quickly returned to normal.
The protagonist continued his previous words, "If it's a newly evolved mutant, maybe we can kill it with a gun.
But it also depends on the ability. If the ability is more inclined towards physical evolution and defense, then it should be able to withstand the attack of bullets."
He Rui didn't even have time to complain about the protagonist's rapid mood changes. His mind was completely filled with the three words "superpower" which kept repeating in a loop.
He was numb, "...No, Brother Ji...well, I think I heard it wrong...or maybe you made a slip of the tongue...
Why are there still people with superpowers?...
Isn’t he an evolver???”
The man said coldly, "Something similar."
"It's so different!" He Rui was going crazy. He felt like the depressed person was going to become him. "I thought it was just a deformity caused by radiation, how come the word like superpower popped up..."
