Chapter 23 The Great Triangle
Several people were stunned for a moment.
You Tianxing looked at Qi He, Yu Jiang looked at Yan Chuanbai, and Yan Chuanbai stared at Guan Shangchun. Qi He tilted his head slightly and looked at them.
Guan Shangjun took a breath, "...speeding car."
Everyone: “…”
What a big breath.
Qi He greeted him, "It's you."
He was wondering why someone was wandering around alone in the wild. It turned out to be an S-class psychic. But with such weak attack power, it was probably...
The next moment, You Tianxing continued, "He is a psychic."
After a pause, he asked, "Do you know each other?"
His eyes drifted towards Yan Chuanbai, while Yu Jiang looked at Qi He. Yan Chuanbai put one hand in his pocket, his face expressionless.
Qi He said: "We have met by chance before."
Yu Jiang's pupils trembled slightly, and she whispered, "Affair...?"
Guan Shangchun tilted his head, and Yan Chuanbai's eyebrows twitched.
Qi He caught, "..."
He didn't even have a family, so where did the "outside" come from? He looked at Yu Jiang calmly and repeated, "It was a chance encounter."
Yu Jiang's pupils stopped trembling and she breathed a sigh of relief, "Sorry."
You Tianxing broke the deadlock, smiling and waving with his two claws, "Okay, everyone sit down and talk."
…
Several people sat down at the table.
The table was rectangular, with two seats on each side. Qi He chose a seat and sat down casually. Guan Shangchun sat on his left, and then the chair on the right was pulled out, and Yan Chuanbai sat at the head.
You Tianxing, who was about to sit down, stopped and sat opposite Qi He.
Yan Chuanbai looked at him: "What do you want to talk about?"
You Tianxing said warmly, "It's mainly to introduce everyone to each other and to learn about the relocation of people from the shelter."
He had already reported Guan Shangjun's joining to the headquarters, but Yan Chuanbai was now the head of Base I, so he reported the situation in detail:
"He just arrived at the base yesterday, and his ability level was tested to be S-level. Now we have another S-level known, which is good news for us. His ability is 'perception', and he can sense large-scale zombie and human activities from a distance, providing great assistance in early warning and search and rescue."
Yan Chuanbai said "hmm".
He turned sideways to Guan Shangchun and looked at him for two seconds: "Welcome to join."
Guan Shangchun seemed to sense something and smiled back, "Thank you."
Yu Jiang on the opposite side opened his eyes and listened hard.
You Tianxing looked around and clapped his hands again: "Okay, let's talk about the shelter."
Yan Chuanbai withdrew his gaze and began to talk about the situation at the shelter. A large number of civilians had been handed over to the military's logistics department for resettlement, and the remaining psychics, along with some necessary supplies, would be brought back to the base by a convoy within tomorrow.
The general arrangement was flawless, so You Tianxing asked again, "How did you convince them?"
Yan Chuanbai paused for a moment, "Move them with emotion and enlighten them with reason."
You Tianxing: “…”
He maintained his smile and said, "You'd better write the same in your report to headquarters tomorrow."
Yan Chuanbai nodded and expanded on the topic a bit: "The people there have formed a mature settlement and are unwilling to relocate. Fortunately..." He paused and changed the subject, "Unfortunately, a mutant zombie appeared and attacked their leader. In order to test whether they were infected, they all moved to the base."
The system said woodenly: [It's not a coincidence.]
Qi He looked away as if it had nothing to do with him.
As soon as he turned around, he faced Guan Shangchun on his left.
Guan Shangchun turned his gaze and looked over.
His eyes were moist and bright, his hair was long and smooth, and his face was handsome, like an aquatic plant. When his eyes met Qi He's, he smiled at him.
Just as Qi He was about to open his mouth, a voice came from the right:
"Do you have anything else to add?"
He turned back and saw Yan Chuanbai's eyes fixed on him. The other two also looked at him. He paused for a second before saying softly, "No more, you explained it very clearly."
Yan Chuanbai said softly, "Really? What did I say?"
Qi He: “…”
He pushed back, "It seems like nothing has been said, but everything has been said."
Yan Chuanbai was about to say something else when You Tianxing's smile twisted. He tried to remain calm and said, "I deserve to hear such a report."
Two people: “…”
-
After the meeting, prepare to disperse.
Qi He stood up and heard You Tianxing call Guan Shangchun, "Um, Mr. Guan..."
Guan Shangjun said, "Just call me 'Guan Shang'. The first two characters are very similar to my last name. My friends used to call me that."
You Tianxing smiled and said, "Okay, sir. I have something else I want to talk to you about research. Would it be convenient for you to stay a little longer?"
Guan Shangchun sat back down and said, "Okay."
Yu Jiang was unable to move, so Yu Jinlai pushed her back.
Qi He and Yan Chuanbai went out.
It was almost dinner time, and since they had been busy all day, they decided to go straight to the cafeteria to eat.
After leaving the research institute, Yan Chuanbai suddenly said, "Is he the one you mentioned before whose shooting skills were terrible?"
...How could he be so straightforward?
Qi He corrected, "I told us not to go back to the base."
Yan Chuanbai: "Oh, that was just a chance encounter."
"You can understand it that way."
No one beside him spoke again until he entered the cafeteria.
As soon as I entered, it was packed with people. The residents of the shelter had just been relocated, and most of them had come here.
Qi He and Yan Chuanbai each ordered a meal.
As they were looking for a seat, they passed by a dining table and suddenly heard a "clang!"
Qi He turned his head and saw Zhou Shun looking up at him from two seats away, his spoon falling into the soup bowl.
he:"……"
He just rebuilt people's cognition, so there shouldn't be such sequelae, right?
Zhou Shun quickly collected his expression and stood up.
He already knew from the people around him that the two of them didn't call the dish by its name: "Brother Yan, Brother Qi, I didn't expect you both used fake names. I won't call it by the wrong name next time."
Qi He looked at it calmly: Where did the "du" come from? He had always been called "Qi He".
Someone beside me laughed unceremoniously.
He didn't want to talk much, and just said, "Come to my training class tomorrow."
Zhou Shun didn't realize the seriousness of the situation yet, "Oh, okay."
Let’s end this topic for now.
Yan Chuanbai looked at Aunt Tian and a few familiar residents and asked, "Are you used to it?"
Aunt Tian felt a bit of panic at being addressed by her superior, but she quickly composed herself. "I'm used to it. The accommodation has been arranged, and the military has reimbursed the food expenses. They said we can rest for two days before looking for a job."
Qi He paused slightly and glanced sideways.
Yan Chuanbai's expression remained cold, but his brows seemed to relax a little: "Yeah."
They went to sit at the empty table over there.
Qi He looked up at the person opposite him. The military's public accounts could not be decided by individuals. Even if there was something to be reimbursed, it would have to go through layers of approval and would not be approved so quickly.
The only possibility is: it was transferred from Yan Chuanbai's account.
Feeling the gaze, Yan Chuanbai looked over and asked, "What's up?"
Qi He said, "You would still do this kind of thing."
Yan Chuanbai paused for a moment while holding the chopsticks, then continued as if nothing had happened, "What's going on?"
Seeing that he didn't admit it, Qi He didn't point it out. He just shook his head and said, "It's just something I did without any ulterior motives."
"..." Yan Chuanbai sneered, "Thank you for your affirmation of my character."
"No thanks, you can show more."
-
Qi He returned to his residence after dinner.
They had been away from the base for almost three days, and they had to make up for the missed training sessions. Both he and Yan Chuanbai had classes tomorrow.
After days of running around, he washed up and took a rest.
Early the next morning.
Qi He went out and went downstairs on time.
The elevator pressed down and slowly descended from above. Ding! The door opened, and You Tianxing and Guan Shangchun were both there.
…Looking at the floors above, it seems that Guan Shangjun has moved to the floor where Ying Zhen used to live.
Qi He walked in and greeted him: "Good morning."
The two people inside also responded: "Good morning."
The elevator door closed, and in the enclosed and quiet environment, the usually talkative You Tianxing remained silent for some reason. Only one gaze remained on him.
He turned to Shangguan Shangchun, "...Is there something wrong with how I look today?"
Guan Shangchun shook his head, "No, you look all right."
You Tianxing suddenly interrupted and laughed: "Haha."
Qi He thought he hadn't yet entered the ranks of geniuses and continued to ask Guan Shangchun, "Then why do you keep looking at me?"
"It's human nature to be attracted to the strong." Guan Shangjun stared at him without blinking and stated, "Your ability level is very high, and your marksmanship is also excellent. My perception is very sharp, and I can sense that you are... particularly strong."
Qi He happily said: "System, every word he says is praising me."
My mind didn't seem to want to respond to him.
You Tianxing suddenly said again: "Haha~"
He squeezed into the conversation, very friendly, "Then why don't you look at Yan Chuanbai? He is also very strong."
Guan Shangchun lowered his eyelashes and said tactfully, "My perception also includes the perception of emotions."
In the elevator, “?”
You Tianxing seemed to sense something and gently closed his lips.
The elevator landed with a ding in silence.
Qi He thought for a moment and understood, "You also feel that he was born with invisible thorns."
Two people: “…”
The elevator doors opened and they walked out.
Just as he was about to step out the door, You Tianxing suddenly received a call. After hanging up, he said to Guan Shangchun, "Sorry, Guan Shang, there's a problem with the data from a research project, and I have to go over there quickly. Regarding the experiment... we'll do it next time."
Guan Shangchun said, "It's okay, you go ahead and do your work."
You Tianxing didn't care about anything else and was blown away like a whirlwind.
Guan Shangchun suddenly became idle.
Qi He looked at him for a moment. "Although your ability is psychic, you may need to leave the base later. Last time I saw you, it seemed like you hadn't received any formal training. Now that you're fine, do you want to go to the training ground with me to practice?"
Guan Shangchun's eyes were moist, "Okay."
-
At the training ground, almost all the students from both sides have arrived.
Three minutes left in training.
Yan Chuanbai stood in front, having fastened his tactical harness, put on gloves, and equipped his gun.
He glanced outwards.
Qi He always arrives at the training ground five minutes early, but for some reason he was a little late today.
As he was watching, that figure appeared.
Qi He, still wearing the same simple white T-shirt, walked over calmly, with Guan Shangchun following behind him.
Yan Chuanbai looked over.
The noise in the originally noisy training ground suddenly became quieter.
Especially in the left half of the field, all the students stood at attention, some even tensed up, poised for battle. Zhou Shun was also in the team. It was his first time there, and he looked around in confusion: "What's going on?"
The students next to him didn't even look away, but only whispered a reminder: "Instructor Qi's training is not conventional."
Zhou Shun, “?”
Qi He crossed the training ground and went to get the equipment first.
He dressed while walking towards Yan Chuanbai, then stopped in front of him, buckled his waist and said: "The officer has nothing to do, I asked him to come to my team for training."
Yan Chuanbai raised his eyebrows, "Can he keep up?"
Qi He thought for a moment and said, "I'll do it in moderation."
"The fight is so noisy, you still have to distract yourself and keep an eye on him?"
"Just let him stand aside."
Yan Chuanbai was about to speak again when Qi He turned around and saw Guan Shang, who seemed a little at a loss, standing alone in front of the team, staring at him eagerly.
He said, "Okay, I'm going to go first."
After saying that, he strode back to the training ground.
Yan Chuanbai stood where he was, looking over there expressionlessly, and counted in his mind: Qi He had spoken to him more than five sentences before, but today he only said four sentences.
It seemed as if some of his energy had been diverted away.
The gap that had been filled before began to loosen again, shaking and hitting his heart.
…
On the other side, Qi He got the equipment for someone.
After all, he is an S-level psychic, and a psychic at that, so he can be said to be quite valuable.
He waited for Guan Shangchun to get dressed and then reminded him, "The training will start soon. Stand further away before it's your turn."
Guan Shangchun got dressed and said, "Okay."
Qi He added, "There's a team challenge in training. Don't participate yet. I'll give you special training."
Guan Shangchun nodded, "No problem."
"Okay, then you go first..." Qi He was about to let him return to the team when he saw his belt twisted, "Your belt is turned over here and not fastened properly."
Seeing Guan Shangchun looking down in confusion, he simply reached out his hand, "Here--"
An ice cone suddenly rose from the ground!
Qi He suddenly withdrew his hand, and used gravity to pull Guan Shangchun away. He grabbed the gun with one hand and pointed it in a familiar direction. Snap. Yan Chuanbai had already rushed forward, holding an ice blade, and slashed at Qi He diagonally.
Bang! A shot forced Qi He back, and he also took two steps back.
He looked over with his heart pounding.
Yan Chuanbai stopped and declared naturally: "A sneak attack."
He met Qi He's gaze and added, "You said, no matter when, no matter where."
“…”Qi He.
He pulled the frightened Guan Shangchun back and cast a deep look at Yan Chuanbai: "Although I said so, but you——"
Before he finished speaking, there was another sound: BOOM!!!
Earth-based supernatural powers rose up from under the feet of the three people at the same time.
In an instant, dust filled the sky and sand and stones flew everywhere.
The sudden change caught everyone off guard.
Zhou Shun, standing in the line, understood. It was this kind of "unconventional" approach. He felt like he had finally done something right, and with a triumphant smile, he pointed forward and declared:
"A sneak attack."
The author has something to say:
Zhou Shun: I sneak attacked three S-ranks today. Do you think I did the right thing? [Sunglasses][Waving hands]
Qi He: ...
Yan Chuanbai: After all, I wasn’t the one who got hurt.
Guan Shangjun: [bursts into tears]
