Chapter 95 is love
They walked out of the superhero headquarters building again. As C-class heroes, the areas they were responsible for happened to be adjacent to each other, so they walked together on the way back.
Chen Xingyun said with regret, "You and I are stationed so close to each other. I originally thought that we would have the opportunity to cooperate on temporary missions. Unfortunately, you are about to be promoted.
Once you become a B-class hero, you won't be stationed in a fixed area anymore. Link, you're always one step ahead of me, even though it's only been a short time since you awakened your powers. I'm saying, aren't you a little too strong?
Chen Xingyun sighed again. "Being friends with you would put me under a lot of pressure. I'm also beginning to feel the loneliness and desolation of being left behind."
Zhong Mengfan smiled and said, "Then please turn the pressure into motivation. I'll be waiting for you in the B-class hero work group."
Chen Xingyun snorted softly, "Hmph, all that humility before was fake, wasn't it? Was it because I've been around Ye Shen for so long? Even the tone of my voice has become as strange as his."
Zhong Mengfan shook his head. "Because I've found my goal and motivation—after I advance, I'm going to confess my love. So, I'm already eager to try."
There was also a feeling that could not be explained in words. He seemed to have become a little stronger after he had the determination to confess and the courage to take action.
Chen Xingyun said, "Since you have made up your mind, I can only wish you success as a friend."
Then he patted Zhong Mengfan's shoulder and said, "If you are rejected, I will also lend you my shoulder to lean on, so that you can cry bitterly after the failure of love..."
Zhong Mengfan interrupted, "Thank you, but that's not necessary."
At this moment, the two people's communicators rang at the same time.
: C-rank "Hero Link (Nebula Chain Hand), please go to XX Street, XX immediately. The map is flashing, and an unknown mutant creature has appeared. C-rank heroes Fei Lian, Zero Sense, and Nebula Chain Hand (Link) will be your companions on this temporary mission."
"What I said is true, but the coordinates of the mutant creature are not close to us, so we have to rush there as soon as possible." Chen Xingyun had just finished saying this when he felt his body floating up and rising higher and higher.
"Wow, wow." He shook his body and asked Zhong Mengfan, who was also floating in the air, in surprise, "When did your ability become such that you could carry people with you?"
Zhong Mengfan touched his nose and said, "I've been practicing using my supernatural powers to lift heavy objects. You're the first living person I've ever carried flying."
"What? Are you using me as a guinea pig?" Chen Xingyun pouted, but his expression was filled with envy that could not be concealed. "Huh, you can fly, that's amazing!"
"The mission is urgent and time waits for no one. Flying over will be faster." Zhong Mengfan was preparing to speed up.
Chen Xingyun screamed, "Wow! At least let me hold your hand while we fly. It feels so weird to be hanging in the air at such a high speed with no support! And you're a complete amateur, I'm scared!"
Zhong Mengfan showed his disdain. "Don't worry, I've mastered my skills, so I dare to use them. You're a grown man, what are you afraid of? I don't want to hold your hand. Let's go!"
Later, halfway through the journey, Chen Xingyun asked doubtfully, "Is this really your first time leading someone? You look like you're already very experienced."
"Your weight is much lighter than when I practiced with heavy objects. Besides, I originally practiced extra hard because I wanted to use my supernatural powers to take Xia Ye flying. I didn't expect that the man I would take flying for the first time would be you."
"What's with that look of disdain and regret in your eyes? What's wrong with using your superpowers to fly with your friends, you stingy bastard!"
Zhong Mengfan agreed, "You're right. I'll take you flying once first to practice. Next time I take Xia Ye with me, you'll be more skilled and steady."
"Wow! You're really putting your love before your friends!"
Before Chen Xingyun could continue to complain, Zhong Mengfan had already used his supernatural powers to slowly descend to the ground. "Here we are."
After arriving at the coordinate location, what we saw with the naked eye was a giant mutated tentacle monster that looked like an octopus.
When humans awaken superpowers, it's called evolution. When non-human creatures possess superpowers, they're all classified as abnormal, mutated creatures. The reason can be summed up simply in one sentence: Those who are not of my kind must have different hearts.
There are only two ways for Super Hero Headquarters to deal with non-human creatures that have awakened superpowers:
1. Destroy it physically.
2. Capture and become one of the headquarters' test subjects.
Zhong Mengfan said, "Wow, the octopus' tentacles, once you zoom in, they're so densely packed together, I feel like my trypophobia is about to kick in."
"The other two C-class heroes haven't arrived yet. Normally, we should wait here for a while and wait for them to meet up with us." As Chen Xingyun was speaking, a tentacle of the giant mutant in the distance swept across a building nearby, making a loud noise. In an instant, glass fragments flew all over the building and cracks appeared on the wall.
Through the broken windows, one could see people running around in panic inside the building, and the mutant didn't stop swinging its tentacles.
"Bang, bang, bang!" The sound of buildings being violently hit continued to be heard from the location where the mutant was.
Zhong Mengfan said, "Looks like we can't wait any longer. Let's hold it back first."
"Okay." Chen Xingyun opened his chains and slowly extended them outward.
"Take me to fly right above it, and I'll use the chains to weave a net and see if I can trap it. You help me attract its attention."
Zhong Mengfan nodded.
They flew over the mutant, and Chen Xingyun unfurled a net woven from chains and threw it directly above the mutant. As the net enveloped the mutant, it extended several tentacles and attacked Zhong Mengfan and Chen Xingyun.
Zhong Mengfan led Chen Xingyun to dodge the tentacles' attacks, and Chen Xingyun began to tighten the net that trapped the mutant creature.
"Although its mobility is restricted, it is stronger than me. If this continues, I might be dragged over with the chains. Although the attack range of the tentacles has become smaller due to the restriction of the chains, it can still attack us if it is dragged over." Beads of sweat appeared on Chen Xingyun's forehead.
"Hold on." Zhong Mengfan said, he completely covered his fists with his supernatural power and began to accumulate strength.
The constant release of his supernatural powers sent powerful fluctuations through Zhong Mengfan's body. Even in the otherwise calm weather, a strong gale blew, ruffling their uniforms and hair. Chen Xingyun subconsciously blinked his eyes, which had become sore from the intense wind.
Zhong Mengfan began to dive rapidly towards the mutant creature. The mutant creature seemed to feel threatened and sprayed black ink towards their location.
"Wow!" Chen Xingyun's vision was obstructed by the ink.
When he wiped the ink off his face, he saw Zhong Mengfan rushing in front of the mutant creature, just like those scenes in superhero movies that he once thought were a bit exaggerated.
Zhong Mengfan swung his fist and hit the mutant.
"Bang!"
After the loud bang, cracks began to appear on the mutant creature's mouth, centered on the place where Zhong Mengfan's punch hit. Strangely colored liquid splashed out along the rapidly expanding scars, first spraying onto Zhong Mengfan's body, and Chen Xingyun behind him was also not spared.
The mutant let out a series of piercing wail, its flailing tentacles gradually drooping to the ground. The residual energy from Zhong Mengfan's punch continued to generate a powerful destructive force within the mutant, shredding its internal organs.
At first, there were just a series of crisscrossing scars, and then its body completely collapsed. Liquid and pieces of flesh that looked like the blood of mutant creatures fell like raindrops. The scene was like some heavy-flavored restricted-level horror movie.
"Ugh, it looks so disgusting. I probably won't want to eat any seafood for a long time." Zhong Mengfan, the culprit who caused the current destructive power, said this.
"I say, aren't you exaggerating a bit?" Chen Xingyun pointed at the pile of minced meat. "This one is absolutely dead, not even a complete corpse."
"Oh, sorry... a little."
"You'll cause great distress to the logistics staff responsible for the subsequent cleanup of the scene."
Zhong Mengfan said embarrassedly, "Well, I didn't control my strength well."
I thought Chen Xingyun was just worried about adding to the workload for colleagues in other departments. "You know how those people in the logistics department compile a list of the most difficult pro heroes every year? Be careful. Once they get tired of dealing with your post-battle cleanup, they'll put you on their special blacklist and record every detail in a little notebook. Then, during the annual Most Popular Hero Awards, they'll expose all your negative information, affecting your ranking."
"Wow, that sounds a bit scary. But I just threw one punch, after all, it's so big. I just released some more supernatural powers and used a little more force." Zhong Mengfan raised his fist, also feeling incredible at the power of his attack.
"Please don't be so pedantic. Do you still need to take the promotion exam? Just pass it. I feel like a C-rank hero is no longer worthy of teaming up with you on a mission."
Originally, after delivering this all-out punch, Zhong Mengfan himself would have been exhausted due to the fact that most of his supernatural power had been consumed at once. However, he was still standing, chatting with Chen Xingyun in high spirits.
Zhong Mengfan said uncertainly, "Maybe it's because I finally made the decision to confess my love to the person I like. It's love that gave me courage, motivation, and strength, so I became stronger and more powerful."
It sounds just like the outdated cheesy love words in black and white TV dramas.
【Author has something to say】
Oh~ There were so many comments on the last chapter! Thank you all, I'm happy. Generally speaking, my thoughts are similar to everyone else's.
The top will be interested because they find the other person interesting and engaging, but if they become too submissive and ingratiating, that interest will slowly fade. It's like the overly thoughtful character in a romance text game, who, without consulting the guide, has no idea what choices will lead to a BE ending. Only the bottom can pull it off based solely on honest thoughts and intuition.
