That night, the lights outside the tent were bright, and the slum, unlike its usual dark and quiet appearance, became unusually noisy.
Qi Yanxin was so anxious that she could hardly sleep, but Xu Zhi was unusually relaxed. After thinking about the problems she might face and preparing herself mentally, she decided not to continue immersing herself in tension. She even took the time to comment that she felt the army food was not as delicious as the one Qi Yanxin cooked.
Qi Yanxin had a helpless expression after hearing this: "These foods are much better than what we usually eat."
Xu Zhi blinked: "I didn't taste it."
Qi Yanxin didn't know whether she was comforting herself or really thought that what she cooked tasted better. Sometimes she felt that Xu Zhi might have been a young lady in the past, and sometimes she felt that some of Xu Zhi's living habits did not seem like those of a very pampered young lady, but rather like those of a child who had suffered a lot.
"Okay, I'm serious."
Whether it is true or not, at least it sounds nice.
There was a lot of noise outside and footsteps coming and going. Even so, Xu Zhi chose to lie down and try to fall asleep. After all, the days to come probably wouldn't be easy, so it would be better not to accumulate physical fatigue.
Early the next morning, Xu Zhi was awakened by a roar even louder than that of factory machines.
To be honest, she had long been accustomed to falling asleep to the noise during these days on the bottom floor, but this morning, it felt like a machine was pressing directly on her head. Xu Zhi opened his eyes blankly and looked at Qi Yanxin, who was pulling open the curtains of the tent and looking out. Then, with a look of surprise, she waved at Xu Zhi. She was probably talking, but Xu Zhi couldn't hear her. He could only make out two words from her mouth shape: "Plane!"
What the hell?
Xu Zhi climbed up from the bed and sat on the wheelchair quite skillfully. Then he controlled the wheelchair to the window. He looked up through the transparent window of the tent and saw what had been making the loud noise just now and the sound was getting closer and closer.
It was indeed the "plane" as Qi Yanxin said, but it was not quite the same as Xu Zhi knew. It was more like a flying vehicle that would appear in some science fiction movies. It was black in color with silver stripes and was quite large. At this moment, it was hovering steadily above the military base. The size of the aircraft itself was almost comparable to the entire base.
From Xu Zhi's perspective, she could only see its "belly". At this moment, many normal-sized fighter jets drove out from its huge body and then stopped at the vacant space in the garrison. There were also several aircraft that looked more like small transport aircraft than fighter jets falling from its belly. Xu Zhi couldn't see clearly. It seemed that quite a few people walked out of it, but to her they were all blurry and shaking masses.
The only thing she saw clearly was that there was a very conspicuous golden lotus engraved on the black fuselage for some reason. What did it mean?
"This plane was sent by the higher-ups, right?" Qi Yanxin's tone was mixed with longing and a bit of awe. She didn't quite understand the difference between those planes and aircraft, and just called them all "planes."
"upper layer?"
"Yes." She nodded. "Can you see that lotus? It's the symbol of our city. It's usually carved in such a prominent place only by the upper class."
"I've seen on TV that some upper-class people also have golden lotus flowers embroidered on their clothes. It represents a certain honor."
It means that the bottom layer is not suitable.
But for a city with such clear and cruel class divisions, its symbol is actually a lotus?
"It looks like something serious has happened." The woman's tone was filled with worry.
Yes, the upper class people arrived faster than expected. Xu Zhi didn’t quite understand how this city was constructed. He only knew that this group of people probably held a meeting overnight after learning the news, gathered people, and flew down from the "sky" again.
It seems that you really take the [Cup] very seriously.
Xu Zhi quickly withdrew her gaze. It was not because she was no longer interested, but because she could not see anything clearly at all!
The extraordinary circuit in the body has grown a little bit. When it was first created, it was only a tiny bit big, but now it is half the size of a palm. However, the circuit is still growing, and it has grown a lot of "tentacles", and it seems that it will not take shape for a while.
She currently has limited supernatural powers that she can use. Based on what Dr. Zhuang said, she guessed that in the real world, in addition to being able to use the innate abilities that come with their awakening, supernatural beings may also be able to use some other, more "popular" supernatural powers, but that requires learning, and it would probably be very expensive "knowledge."
The [Light] attribute does not allow her to use the [Eyes of Prying Eyes], which is the extraordinary ability of the [Moth]. However, in the current situation, Xu Zhi did not dare to start constructing the extraordinary circuit of the [Moth] at will.
And now she can only absorb the extraordinary energy of the [Light] attribute. When the circuit is completed, she can only sense the existence of the [Light] from the air.
Rebuilding the extraordinary circuit of [Moth] requires some opportunities and resources, and I wonder if these upper-class people can bring her such an opportunity.
Just as Xu Zhi guessed, not long after, someone came to their tent and knocked on the door.
After Qi Yanxin opened the door, a familiar soldier was standing outside. He brought a man in a white coat with a box in his hand, saying that he wanted to do an attribute test on Qi Yanxin.
It really is something no one will miss.
Qi Yanxin had never done such an identification before. She stretched out her hand with uneasiness and curiosity. After the reagent dripped onto the back of her hand, she waited for about a minute before the result came out.
The man in the white coat shook his head: "Ordinary people, their attributes tend to be winter, but there is almost no possibility of awakening, and their extraordinary affinity is too low."
The woman's face became visibly lost, but it was only for a short moment. She quickly adjusted her mindset. After all, wasn't it a consensus among the scavengers that they couldn't become extraordinary people?
It's just that when I heard this verdict, I still couldn't help feeling disappointed.
"Ms. Xu, the new doctor has arrived. She wants to examine you. Please follow me."
The soldier is just an ordinary person. Even though Xu Zhi is now under "house arrest" here in a sense, she is an extraordinary person after all. When the soldier faces Xu Zhi, he still has the "respect" he would give to an extraordinary person.
Here it comes.
Xu Zhi thought.
The army would not believe all of Zhuang Xu's words, and he would definitely undergo a thorough inspection. However, he did not expect that this inspection would take place after the arrival of the superiors.
She guessed that the new doctor was probably from a higher class.
