Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Zombies
On the seventh day after arriving at the Yunjiang Base, He Junxia received a written notice from the base officials, requiring him to report to the Eighth Primary School, which had been converted into a military training ground, on time before 10 a.m. the next day. Failure to do so would result in consequences.
Not only him, but other people with special abilities who had not joined the official organization also received the notice, and the building manager went door to door with paper documents to notify them.
For a moment, everyone was confused.
Why did the base suddenly look for them?
He Junxia originally wanted to find Xia Dandan to inquire about the news, but she didn't know whether she was out on a mission or had other important things to do, and she didn't come back all day.
Xie Liqing couldn't help but complain, "They didn't even explain clearly. They just gave us a notice and told us to go. Who knows what they're going to do? They even threatened us with consequences if we didn't go."
"There's no such thing as this in the world."
He Junxia frowned: "Maybe it has something to do with what happened a few days ago."
Three days ago, a person with gold-type superpowers used his superpowers to break into homes, rape, and rob. After being discovered, he refused to be arrested and openly resisted, resulting in three deaths and five injuries among the patrol team on Qingshui Avenue, and damage to many public facilities.
This arrogant criminal was beaten to a pulp on the spot by the Eighth Security Team who came to support him.
Even a person with gold-type abilities cannot withstand the overwhelming barrage of bullets.
Although the criminal has been arrested, the incident caused a sensation in the base, further deepening the vigilance of ordinary people against people with special abilities. Many prominent people stood up and said that the government should impose restrictions on people with special abilities.
Xie Liqing obviously knew what He Junxia was talking about.
In fact, if Xiaoda was not a person with special abilities, she would definitely strongly support the base in restricting the behavior of people with special abilities and ensuring the safety of ordinary people.
But her son didn't do anything wrong, so why should he take the blame for others?
Xie Liqing snorted unhappily, "According to what they say, even strong people should be restricted. Otherwise, it would be very dangerous for them to walk on the road."
"Mom, don't worry too much. It's okay. We haven't committed any crime. The base forcibly restricts the normal lives of all people with special abilities."
"Think about the benefits the base provides to people with special abilities."
Listening to her son's analysis, Xie Liqing slowly relaxed at first, but then something occurred to her and she couldn't help but ask, "But you, hey, what if they draw your blood?"
Thinking of this, He Junxia also had a headache.
Who knows what the difference is between his blood and the blood of a normal psychic. It would be terrible if something different was detected.
Xie Liqing gritted her teeth, leaned closer and whispered, "Why don't we just leave? There's a big world out there, and we can survive anywhere."
He Junxia felt warm in her heart.
Even though he is not the real Xie Tengda, he cannot help but be moved by this motherly love.
He Junxia shook his head. "It's too late now. If we leave the base, it will definitely attract attention. And we just announced that we'll report to No. 8 Elementary School tomorrow. If we suddenly disappear, wouldn't that be revealing ourselves?"
The most important thing is that the system has not popped up a prompt to complete the task. He dare not act rashly and can only wait and see.
He Junxia speculated that the delay in completing the mission was due to the four bases in City A being disaster relief bases, not survivor bases. While the difference might seem like a few words, the meanings of disaster relief and survivor bases differed significantly.
However, Xie Liqing's words also reminded him that he needed to make some preparations for possible exposure in the future to avoid becoming a wanted person in the base.
Xie Liqing looked at her son's calm expression, but she couldn't stop worrying and panicking. She said again, "If you need to draw blood tomorrow, find an excuse to come back as soon as you're done. We won't stay here anymore."
Xie Liqing felt extremely regretful and hated herself immensely.
If she had known that her son had health problems, she would never have brought him to the disaster relief base and fallen into a trap, which made her unable to back down now.
People outside say that the zombie virus is a contraption created by some perverted experts to destroy humanity. If Xiaoda's specialness is discovered, those people will definitely do everything they can to lock him up in a research institute.
He Junxia looked at the anxiety on Xie Liqing's face and for a moment she didn't know whether it was right or wrong to tell her about her physical condition.
If the staff at the base had not found an opportunity to brainwash Xie Liqing into wanting her child to find a job in an official agency, he would never have revealed the secret.
Now He Juanxia could only comfort him: "Okay, if anything goes wrong, I will find an excuse to leave, and we will leave the base together."
"But don't scare yourself. Go to bed early. You'll know tomorrow if anything happens."
"How can I sleep?" Xie Liqing sighed, "Oh, forget it, let's not talk about this and affect your mood. I'll go to sleep, and you should go to bed early too. Don't stay up late. It's not good for your health."
They both went into their bedrooms to rest.
The moon tonight was covered by thick dark clouds, and the dark and gloomy sky made it hard to breathe. He Junxia stood in front of the window, speechless for a moment.
He was far from being as relaxed as he appeared in front of Xie Liqing.
If the last internship task fails, all previous efforts will be wasted and the whole thing will be a failure.
He can't afford to lose.
…
The sun came out as expected the next day.
Xie Liqing got up early to see He Junxia out. The dark circles under her eyes were thick and heavy, as if she had not slept well the whole night.
He Juanxia advised, "Mom, there's no need to send me off. You can go back. Eighth Elementary School is not far away. Uncle Chen, Brother Yang and I will be there soon."
Xie Liqing still couldn't let go.
Chen Qiao laughed heartily: "Thank you sister, Xiaoda has said so, you can go back, with us here, how can you get lost?"
Xie Liqing hesitated to speak.
Yang Le also advised: "Yes, Aunt Xie, you didn't sleep well last night. You have such heavy dark circles under your eyes. Go back and catch up on some sleep."
Seeing that they all said so, Xie Liqing was afraid that if she insisted further it would arouse suspicion, so she had to give up and stood there watching her son's back as he walked away.
You must come back safely.
Xie Liqing prayed silently in her heart.

He Junxia and others arrived at the Eighth Primary School half an hour in advance. When the staff at the school gate saw them, they immediately came forward with a smile. Their enthusiastic attitude eased their nervousness a lot.
He Junxia smiled and asked, "Sister, what does the base want us for?"
The staff was stunned for a long time by the youthful vigor in the smile. They couldn't help but recall their own youth and sighed that they were getting old.
But it is also a happy thing to be called sister by a young and handsome brother.
The staff member smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal, you just need to attend a training course at the base."
He Junxia immediately showed a bright smile.
"So that's how it is. Thank you, sister. I was a little scared at first, but I feel relieved after hearing what you said."
The staff member felt soft-hearted after hearing his words, and unconsciously put himself in the role of the sister, revealing a lot of information.
The few of them chatted as they walked and soon arrived at their final destination, a small playground with a 400-meter running track. On the playground, many people in work clothes were standing in front of rows of instruments they had never seen before, chatting and laughing.
Based on He Junxia's experience, blood drawing should not be an item in the supernatural power examination.
As expected, after the three signed the sign-in sheet, they were taken to meet up with several other psychics who had arrived earlier. Among them, a kind female psychic told them the base's intention of recruiting psychics.
"The main reason is that the incident caused such a big stir that the base has to train the psychics and reclassify them. The higher the psychic level, the more subsidies they will receive."
“What if we fail the training? They won’t give us…”
Yang Le quietly made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Zhang Meixing rolled her eyes. "What are you thinking? You're not a XXX. At most, I'll train you until you pass. If that doesn't work, I'll just ask you to report your recent whereabouts to Lou Ma regularly."
"Don't worry, training isn't difficult. As long as you're not born antisocial, you can basically pass the test."
He Junxia's eyes flashed.
She spoke with such certainty, as if she was not just a psychic waiting for training at the base, but an insider who knew all the steps and even the consequences of failing the training.
Chen Qiao asked curiously, "Sister, you know a lot about this."
Zhang Meixing seemed to react suddenly, laughed dryly a few times, lowered his voice and whispered: "Shh, I have a cousin who works here."
Chen Qiao had an expression that said, "I understand."
He then asked, "Did your cousin tell me what the specific training would be? I'm already several dozen years old. If I'm asked to memorize books and study for the exam, I really can't do it."
This time Zhang Meixing just laughed it off.
The nine o'clock bell arrived on time. 43 people with special abilities had gathered in the open space, and the staff in front of the equipment also began to get busy.
A short-haired soldier in military uniform, looking heroic, marched to the gathering place of the psychics and saluted everyone.
"Hello, I'm Zhang Hongmeng, the instructor for this training. Also known as Bow Master Zhang. You can call me Instructor Zhang."
Her voice was full of energy and vitality, which lifted the spirits of the idle psychics.
But what is even more shocking is her identity.
Zhang Hongmeng, a third-level ice-type psychic, a big boss among big bosses, and another third-level gold-type psychic Han Jinshuo are known as the two prides of Yunjiang.
Zhang Meixing looked at the woman in military uniform with admiration, his breath sinking deep into his dantian, and he said in a voice that almost sounded like a roar, "Hello, Instructor Zhang!"
The others reacted quickly and loudly: "Hello, Instructor Zhang!"
Zhang Hongmeng smiled and nodded: "Now I will call the roll. Those whose names are called, please come up loudly."
"Lu Yuanbo"
"arrive!"
"Xu Ziang"
"arrive!"
…
"Xie Tengda"
"Xie Tengda?"
"arrive!"
He Junxia smiled sheepishly at the instructor, apologizing for her distraction, but in fact, cold sweat had already soaked her back.
Xie Liqing usually called him Xiaoda, and rarely called him by his full name Xie Tengda. He never considered Xie Tengda as his own name, so when he suddenly heard Xie Tengda, he didn't react immediately to realize that he was being called.
This problem must be corrected!
He Junxia touched his nose. If he didn't think about it, he wouldn't know. When he thought about it, he was shocked, recalling that there were so many flaws when he and Xie Liqing were together.
Perhaps from the very beginning he did not take the role of Xie Tengda seriously, and did not take the role of an introverted boy who had been oppressed by his mother's high-pressure policies for a long time seriously.
If it weren't for the zombies and the pressure of survival attracting Xie Liqing's attention, she would probably have discovered that something was wrong with her child long ago.
No, she might have already noticed it, but she was in such a hurry that she didn't have time to stop and think carefully, and subconsciously ignored those things that were wrong.
It would be bad when she had time to calm down and think.
Fortunately, I discovered it not too late.
He Junxia took a deep breath and felt fortunate for this unexpected turn of events.
