Chapter 140 The Boss’s Canary (3)
It seems that there is a reason why so many female psychics in the base raise canaries.
Xiao He thought.
Fortunately, she had enough composure and slammed the door when she saw Jiang Ye was about to come in.
With a bang, he blocked the person outside and then patted his chest.
It was a close call. I almost fell into his trap.
Outside the door.
Jiang Ye looked at the bedroom door that was closed right in front of him, was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled, turned and walked to the window.
Although the end of the world was in ruins, the moonlight was becoming brighter and brighter, falling over the base like a veil, adding a touch of peace to the devastated end of the world.
Looking at the unfamiliar sky in front of him, Jiang Ye's eyes flickered and his fingertips tapped rhythmically on the windowsill.
A burst of singing slowly came.
Passing through the city ruins buried in loess, I come to you
Stop and listen, it's your voice
The sun sets
Don't be afraid, open your hands and you will feel the warmth of your heartbeat
——
In the bedroom.
Xiao He was tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep.
This is an old problem of hers, and she often tosses and turns until late at night before falling asleep.
When I was in pain, I suddenly heard singing coming from outside.
The singing came through the door, a low voice humming softly, as if the waves soaked the white sand, warm and vast.
The singing is quite nice...
As soon as this thought passed through my mind, sleepiness seemed to come with the waves.
Soon, Xiao He fell asleep.
The singing outside the bedroom kept floating in her ears, making her sleep more peacefully.
The next morning was the day for the mission.
Half of the search and rescue teams at the Blue Star Base gathered in the square at the entrance of the base, ready to set off at any time.
This was the busiest day in the base in the past half month. In addition to those with special abilities, even some ordinary people came to join in the fun.
When Xiao He came over, the originally bustling crowd suddenly fell silent, and everyone's attention was focused on Jiang Ye behind her. Especially when they saw that he was wearing the search and rescue team's clothes, they couldn't help but look surprised.
A canary actually wants to go out to search for supplies?
Isn't this just seeking death?
Xiao He ignored these glances and took Jiang Ye directly to the assembly point of the first team, and began to count the number of people and the tools needed.
As soon as I put two boxes of gasoline into the space, Yan Huohuo ran over.
The Flame Squad she led was also going on a mission today. She was fully armed and looked very heroic. She said to Xiao He with a look of regret:
"Sister Xiao He, how could you let Jiang Ye go outside the base? What if he encounters zombies? Wouldn't that be a pity?"
"He made the request himself, and he even passed the team entrance exam. I set these rules myself, and I can't go back on them."
Hearing this, Yan Huohuo was even more shocked. He looked Jiang Ye up and down carefully and could not imagine how he had passed those devilish tests.
As they were talking, several female psychics came over. Seeing Xiao He taking Jiang Ye out of the base, they also looked disapproving.
"It would be a shame if such a beautiful face was bitten by a zombie."
"Xiao He, you're too stingy. You're just raising a man, why do you let him find supplies on his own?"
The canary in the base is under the wings of the strong, and only needs to stay safely at home and wait for the other party to come back.
This is the first time I've seen someone like Xiao He taking people on a mission.
Xiao He was too lazy to explain. This group of people were the healing ability users in the base. Perhaps they were affected by their ability attributes, and everyone was a saint.
They organized themselves into a healing team and made profits by renting healing abilities to search and rescue teams. The team leader was Yuan Meng, who also had healing abilities and was known as the Human Relic.
At this moment, she looked at Xiao He with righteous indignation.
"Freedom is the most important thing! I strongly condemn the practice of using people as auction items. Did you ever ask them if they were willing to do this?"
Yuan Mengyi made her accusation in a stern and passionate voice. Seeing the first shot of liberalism, Jiang Ye looked at her calmly.
"I do."
Bang!
The gun of freedom misfired.
Yuan Meng looked at Jiang Ye with disappointment.
"How could you allow yourself to fall? I'm helping you!"
Jiang Ye's face was filled with worry. He said, "But I don't need it. Please stop talking about it. I'm afraid Xiao He will listen to you and leave me."
Yuan Meng: ...
She has saved countless young boys who have gone astray, but this is the first time she has encountered such a situation.
Xiao He spread out his hands.
"Look, I can't drive them away."
Yuan Meng's face became even uglier. She glared at her angrily and turned away.
Xiao He was a little puzzled.
Normally, she and Yuan Meng had never interfered with each other at the base, but today he brought so many people to cause trouble for her.
Yan Huohuo whispered, "Ignore her. I heard they also bid at the auction that day, but they couldn't beat you. I saw she was almost crying with envy. What a jerk!"
Soon, all the search and rescue teams were assembled.
Before leaving, Yan Huohuo carefully looked at Jiang Ye for a while and muttered, "I have to look at you more often, what if I can't see you again in the future?"
The disappointment rate for ordinary people who join the search and rescue team is 20%. It is very likely that Jiang Ye will not come back after this mission.
Jiang Ye was frightened by her and his face froze. He turned to look at Xiao He.
Xiao He immediately said, "As long as I'm here, he'll be fine."
Hearing this, Yan Huohuo thought for a moment and looked over worriedly.
"Sister Xiao He, I remember your ability is about to be upgraded, right? Is everything okay?"
Xiao He waved his hand nonchalantly.
"It's been so long, if it needed to be upgraded, it would have been upgraded long ago."
The psychics are too fragile when they break through, and if it happens outside the base, they will be in danger of death.
At the beginning, Xiao He deliberately reduced the number of missions to avoid accidents, but as time went on, there was no breakthrough, so she put it behind her mind.
Currently, the highest level of psychics is only level six, and there are very few of them, so a breakthrough is a rare opportunity.
Yan Huohuo said, "What if something unexpected happens? It's better to prepare early."
Xiao He was not worried. After all, her ability had been stuck at the peak of level four for more than a year. If she could break through, she would have done so long ago.
Unexpectedly, Yan Huohuo's words came true.
On the third day after Xiao He led the team out of the base, they found an underground freezer with abundant supplies, but unfortunately there were too many zombies surrounding it.
Xiao He asked others to lure the zombies over, and then she sneaked in, loaded the supplies into the space as quickly as possible and then evacuated.
To ensure the safety of other team members, she sent everyone out and only left Jiang Ye with her.
But the zombies were lured away, and after they sneaked into the warehouse, a level 4 zombie suddenly appeared in the mall.
Xiao He and Jiang Ye were forced to be trapped in the warehouse.
It never rains but it pours.
When Xiao He was looking for a way to leave, she suddenly felt a strange movement in the space.
The supernatural power that has been dormant for a year is about to break through!
Spatial abilities are rare and special, but they are also extremely dangerous when they break through.
During the breakthrough process, space will be deconstructed and reconstructed, and each deconstruction will have a huge impact on the spirit.
It is precisely because of such dangers that the higher the level of the space, the fewer people with special abilities there are.
Among all the bases currently, the number of level five spatial ability users can be counted on one hand, and level six is unheard of.
Xiao He's expression was very solemn.
During this period, she did not train or absorb crystal cores. Her supernatural powers had been stagnant for more than a year. How could she break through at this time?
She immediately took out all the crystal cores in the space, then quickly took out a week's worth of supplies and threw them all to Jiang Ye.
"My ability is about to break through. Take care of yourself for the next few days. These things should be enough for you to eat. Don't worry about me."
Xiao He ran errands and sat down, suppressing the restlessness in the space and quickly giving instructions for the next task.
Halfway through his words, he saw the delicate Jiang Ye opposite him, thought for a moment, and added:
"If I don't wake up within three days, you'll have to find a way to leave on your own and meet up with the other team members at the agreed location."
Jiang Ye's expression changed slightly and he became nervous in an instant.
"Will there be any danger?"
The concerned look caught Xiao He off guard.
"The success rate for upgrading spatial abilities from level 4 to level 5 is less than half. Even if you fail, the chances of surviving are not high."
Hearing this, Jiang Ye was completely panicked and suddenly grabbed her hand tightly.
"Is it okay not to upgrade? The space you have is big enough."
Xiao He could clearly feel his hands getting colder and colder, and he seemed to be more nervous than her, so he stood up immediately.
"The higher the level of supernatural power, the greater the power. Usually, other people hope that their sponsors have as high supernatural powers as possible."
The worry in Jiang Ye's eyes could not be faked.
"I think you're fine right now."
Hearing this, Xiao He's heart was moved. She felt that the space was vibrating more violently, constantly impacting her mind, making her eyes go black for a while.
With her last remaining consciousness, she quickly threw out two cans of luncheon meat from the space.
"This is my treasured possession, I'm giving it to you."
Just as he finished speaking, his vision suddenly went dark and he completely lost consciousness.
Jiang Ye quickly stepped forward and gently supported her fallen body.
He carefully checked Xiao He's condition, took off his clothes and spread them on the ground, then carefully put the person on it and quickly sorted out the things Xiao He threw out.
After making sure that the zombies outside could not get in, he did not leave, but returned to Xiao He and hugged her gently.
In the empty warehouse, the singing rang out over and over again.
Xiao He's space was constantly deconstructing and reorganizing, and every time it was reorganized, she felt a tearing pain deep in her mind.
Only when you experience it yourself can you understand why it is so difficult to upgrade spatial abilities.
Only a few minutes had passed outside, but Xiao He's space had already been deconstructed hundreds of times. After each excruciating pain, it ended in failure.
If this continues, this upgrade is likely to fail.
Failure to upgrade high-level superpowers can result in mental damage and permanent loss of superpowers at best, or death at worst.
Xiao He gritted his teeth, quickly absorbed the energy in the crystal core, and prepared to attack again.
But this time, the reaction of the space was even more violent, like it was going crazy, restless and out of control.
Just when it was about to break apart, a burst of singing suddenly came.
——
Passing through the ruins of the city buried in loess, I come to you
Stop and listen, it's your voice
——
Is this Jiang Ye's voice?
Xiao He was wondering why Jiang Ye's singing could be heard at this time, but suddenly he found that the space that was restless just now was slowly calming down.
