Chapter 26 The Sixth Plot
Qi He was still immersed in the test and didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
Until I realized that the whole table was quiet.
He turned around and met several glances directed at him: "Why aren't you eating anymore?"
Meng Yan held her breath and stared at him cautiously: "...Can we still continue eating?"
Qi He, "?"
The system said sadly: [What nonsense are you talking about again! ]
Qi He took two seconds to react and suddenly realized:... they are all dirty.
He explained to everyone, "It's not what you think."
Mo Jiayan said quickly, "Don't worry, we didn't think too deeply about it."
Ye Yi stepped lightly on her little feet under the table again.
There was a gasp from the other side. Yan Chuanbai seemed to be unable to bear it any longer and looked at him deeply: "Qi He."
Qi He turned to him: "You think too much."
Yan Chuanbai looked at him for several seconds, then smiled meaningfully, without denying, "Maybe."
“?” Qi He.
The topic ended here and everyone continued eating.
The atmosphere remained lively, but the conversation seemed to become incoherent:
“These potatoes are fried quite well.”
"Yes, Meng Yan has increased the output by 1.5 times."
"A lot of people have come to the base recently..."
"Yes, everyone has worked hard."
Qi He: “…”
He sighed and shook his head, temporarily stopping thinking about the test and starting to eat again.
…
After the meal, one table of people had not left yet.
Qi He was clearing the table. Meng Yan brought some candies and said she would make them some sugar water. She added sugar to each cup one by one. Yan Chuanbai glanced at Qi He and suddenly took the cup away. "I don't need it anymore."
Meng Yan asked, "You don't eat sweets?"
Yan Chuanbai said casually, "Yeah."
System Element Notice: […Do you think Yan Chuanbai has figured something out?]
"He's not stupid." Qi He put away the bowl and stood up. "There are too many things about me that I can't explain. I just don't know how far he has guessed."
If he wants to dismantle the plot, the more Yan Chuanbai knows, the better it will be for him.
He walked towards the kitchen counter and was silent for a moment: "What would happen if I told him directly about the plot?"
There was no response in my mind.
The panel turns red immediately, and the warning program is triggered:
It will collapse.
[At the very least, you will disappear and be replaced by someone else; at the worst, it could cause turmoil in the "world."]
Qi He was not surprised: "It is true."
The warning process ended and the system came back online.
It savored the warning just now and felt inexplicably unhappy: Why is Qi He’s disappearance called a “small matter”?
It reminded: [Don’t mess around.]
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Qi He had already reached the sink and put down the bowl.
There was a figure in front of him.
Yan Chuanbai cleared the remaining dishes and came over. The two stood across from each other on the counter. Since he had washed the dishes last time, Qi He was used to it and let him help.
The sound of dishes colliding mixed with the sound of water and foam.
Qi He reached out and took the plate from the sink next to him. Their fingertips intertwined, and the other person suddenly asked:
"What do you want to do to me?"
He looked up and saw Yan Chuanbai looking at him with his eyelids raised.
Her eyes were fixed on him intently, a faint smile playing on the corners of her mouth. It was like a test that she knew all too well, but it also had a certain ambiguity and undertone to it.
Qi He paused and said regretfully: "I haven't thought about it yet."
Yan Chuanbai withdrew his gaze and said casually, "You can do whatever you want to me..." He was silent for two seconds, perhaps with past memories flooding back, and he added, "...discuss."
Qi He: “…”
He said to the system: "Doesn't this sound like a promise from a scumbag?"
Objective review: [Compared to your "lack of interest" and "lacking enthusiasm," this is quite responsible.]
Qi He asked, "Whatever it is?"
He hummed, "As long as you tell me in advance." Yan Chuanbai looked straight at him and said, "Don't make me react on my own."
Qi He met his gaze and said, "I'll try my best."
The dinner was over and everyone was ready to leave.
Ye Yi, Mo Jiayan and the others said goodbye one after another. Qi He looked at Meng Yan who was left behind and suddenly called out, "I have something to tell you. Can you stay a little longer?"
Meng Yan turned her head: "Hmm? Okay."
-
The matter was handed over to Meng Yan.
Qi He returned to his daily routine, attending training sessions, improving his skills in combat, and taking on missions. This morning was his class. Yan Chuanbai was at the military headquarters, while Guan Shangchun and You Tianxing were at the research institute.
Bang! The last student was thrown to the ground.
Qi He adjusted his gloves and announced, "get out of class dismissed."
He walked out of the training ground and was considering whether to take a mission or go to the S-class training room this afternoon when a loud siren suddenly rang out over the base:
"Beep-beep-beep-beep--"
Each sound has an interval of two seconds, which is a level II combat alert.
At the same time, Yan Chuanbai received a brief message on the communicator: "Meet up."
Qi He received the call and immediately headed towards the center.
The base has been put on alert.
A large number of military personnel were rushing towards the high wall. Qi He joined them at the fork in the Central Axis Avenue. Yan Chuanbai, You Tianxing, and Guan Shangchun were all there.
"What's going on?"
"An invasion is predicted."
You Tianxing finished speaking and looked at Guan Shangchun. Guan Shangchun nodded to Qi He and looked outside the base. With his mental focus, a bright light shone in his eyes. "Something is coming from 10 kilometers away."
Qi He asked, "Zombie tide?"
Guan Shangchun frowned slightly, "Not really."
You Tianxing took a deep breath and said, "Our monitoring range is not that wide. Since the officer has sensed it, we choose to trust his judgment."
Qi He nodded: "Okay."
Yan Chuanbai has mobilized the military to defend the high wall and urgently recalled the superpowers within 10 kilometers. According to the previous arrangement, A-level superpowers need to fight on the front line.
A group of people were rushing towards the gate of the base.
Suddenly, a solemn voice was heard: "...That's not right."
Qi He turned around and saw Guan Shangchun stopped.
The latter stood there, seemingly closing his eyes and concentrating his mental strength to the highest level. After a moment, he opened his eyes and exhaled sharply:
"Yes, coming from underground."
Several people's hearts skipped a beat at the same time.
Qi He pursed his lips: If that's the case, the high wall can't serve as the first line of defense at all.
Once breached, the base will fall from within.
Just as he finished his thoughts, he heard Yan Chuanbai pick up the communicator and give new orders: "Withdraw half of the frontline combat forces and concentrate on protecting the ordinary people. B-level and C-level psychics will guard the interior of the base, the army will be stationed at the high walls, and A-level psychics will leave the base to intercept."
The defense was quickly divided into three lines.
Both main lines of fire were concentrated on the front lines, taking into account both possible invasion routes, above ground and underground.
"Let's go to the high wall first."
…
Fortunately, there is still some distance and there is plenty of time.
But Guan Shangjun was like a timed announcement machine, announcing every few minutes: "8 kilometers left", "7 kilometers left", "the last 5 kilometers"...
The adjutant at the base gate was terrified when he heard this.
Qi He estimated that their speed was quite even, so he interrupted, "If you find them sprinting, tell us later."
Guan Shangjun: “…Oh.”
Yan Chuanbai glanced over here and asked his subordinates to drive the car.
Qi He looked at him, "What are your plans?"
"Set up another line of defense."
Yan Chuanbai lowered his eyes and looked at the ground.
Then, a layer of ice formed beneath his feet, rapidly spreading outward like a vast net. Waves of cold air emanated from below, freezing the area for thousands of miles, extending all the way outside the base.
Guan Shangjun felt it and looked at him: "You froze the soil 5 meters below the ground."
Yan Chuanbai said calmly, "Yeah."
Qi He: "...System, is this an illusion? He seems to be pretending."
The system doesn't believe it: [His abilities are already strong, why would he need to pretend?]
Before he could even process the subtle feeling of déjà vu, his subordinate drove up to him and said, "Colonel."
"Dispatch 10 A-level psychic teams to join me in the battle zone outside the base, and the rest will guard the interior." Yan Chuanbai opened the car door and said to Qi He, "It's best to separate the two S-level combat systems. You stay inside and guard the second line of defense."
It's definitely more dangerous outside, but it's just as important inside.
Qi He was about to nod, "Okay..."
Ding! A familiar sound suddenly rang out.
At the same time, a panel appeared before his eyes: [Detected that the event location is about to change, the key plot is urgently launched.]
“?” Qi He.
He quickly changed his tone, creating some wiggle room: "Okay—I'll guard the inside."
"..." Yan Chuanbai, "?"
He looked down at me, "What's your problem?"
The plot has begun without any warning.
The script scrolled by like a real-time bullet screen, appearing line by line in Qi He's eyes. Without any prediction or preparation, his heart rate was a little faster:
"The base has been invaded by mutants, and chaos has broken out. You're powerless, yet you've hastily sought out Yan Chuanbai. As the strongest fighter, he must be on the front lines."
So, you also forced your way into the most dangerous place...』
Qi He was about to speak when he remembered what he had promised Yan Chuanbai.
He said, "Let me say hello to you first."
Yan Chuanbai: "What?"
Qi He met his gaze: "I'm going to the most dangerous place."
Yan Chuanbai: “…”
Several people present: "..."
The plot continues: "Yan Chuanbai is fed up with your persistent pursuit and asks you to leave immediately. Seeing that there are other S-ranks present, you threaten him, "If you don't agree, I'll find someone else!"
Yan Chuanbai seemed to think for two seconds.
He was about to say something when Qi He said, "If you don't agree, I'll find someone else."
The conversation in front of me paused.
Guan Shangchun glanced sideways, and You Tianxing was startled. The adjutant's eyes swung back and forth twice, and Yan Chuanbai endured it, "...What did you say?"
At this moment, Guan Shangchun suddenly announced, "There are still 2 kilometers to go."
Qi He's eyes suddenly became dangerously angry as he read the script.
"Yan Chuanbai will naturally ignore you. But you're really good at being sticky. Look at the other two S-class psychics present and force yourself to stick to one of them..."
Qi He didn't have time to say anything more. He quickly walked to the driver's seat. He put one hand on the back of Yan Chuanbai's hand, turned around and said seriously: "You guard the base well."
After saying that, he got in the car and looked at the two people outside.
Then he used gravity to stick Guan Shangjun, who was still in a daze, to the passenger seat with a "bang".
"You take command."
Guan Shangchun: “…”
Yan Chuanbai stared at him silently for a second, then turned around and ordered: "Outside the base, listen to Qi He's orders!"
You Tianxing's heart finally settled down.
Qi He suddenly turned to him, "And you..."
His heart, which had settled down, was lifted up again.
The script enters its finale: "... and lets another S-class esper be protected▇▇▇▇"
Qi He released the handbrake with a click. Without having time to think about it, he casually said, "...Just bless us."
After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the base.
The exhaust fumes drifted by, and You Tianxing stood there in a daze:...Ah, is he so useless?
The author has something to say:
You Tianxing: So I am the mascot? [burst into tears][burst into tears][burst into tears]

Avoid worrying about non-existent plots: officials are human.
There is no concept of "top and bottom" in the original plot, and the protagonist is Yan Baoji.
