Chapter 6: Provoking Hatred
Yan Chuanbai held the communicator, expressionless: "Within reach. Major General, I will contact you later."
He finished speaking and the call ended.
Qi He carried it easily.
With just two hands supporting it, the thick trunk didn't even weigh on his shoulders.
He showed it to Yan Chuanbai, "Just a little bit of force."
“…”
Yan Chuanbai took a deep breath, walked over and stopped in front of him. His eyes moved from his wrist to his shoulder, and finally stopped at Qi He's face. "You have awakened your superpowers."
Qi He turned around and put the tree down.
The heavy trunk crashed to the ground with a thud, raising a cloud of dust and falling leaves.
He nodded, "It seems so."
Yan Chuanbai looked at him and asked, "Power type?"
Qi He thought for a moment, "...Not entirely."
Yan Chuanbai was silent for a moment and said, "Go back."
Qi He broke off some branches and went back with Yan Chuanbai. As soon as they appeared, Meng Yan and Zhou Ziqian looked over at them:
"What was that commotion just now? Why did you come back together?"
Qi He threw the branches into the fire and said, "I have awakened my superpowers."
I stood there in a daze for several seconds.
Then the two of them stood up suddenly, shocked: "What!?"
"You've awakened your superpowers?" Meng Yan was surprised. "So, you were the one who caused that commotion just now?"
"What type of superpower do you have?"
Qi He said briefly, "Force."
Force? Sounds like the normal type.
But being awakened is much better than nothing.
Zhou Ziqian was also very happy. He recalled, "Then your fever yesterday might be a sign of awakening your superpowers. Your situation is really rare. Brother Yan and I both awakened naturally in the early stages of the virus outbreak. Meng Yan, what was your situation then?"
Meng Yan said, "I was in danger and yelled, 'Fuck!' Suddenly, a lot of vines sprouted around me. I didn't have a high fever."
She asked Qi He, "Then what happened to your awakening? Did you encounter danger when you went out to search for supplies?"
Qi He, "There was a little conflict."
Meng Yan sat up straight, her eyes sparkling, as if to confirm her theory. "What did you shout?"
Qi He, "Yan Chuanbai."
“…”
After a moment, a gurgling sound broke the silence.
The water in the pot boiled, Meng Yan gave up the topic and turned to cook instant noodles.
Four people shared two buckets of instant noodles.
After they finished eating, they prepared to set off again.
Suddenly, another car drove up the mountain road, turned, and stopped abruptly on the lawn.
The car door opened and two women and one man got out.
The tall woman was fully armed, carrying a rifle. A shorter girl jumped down from behind her, her fluffy short hair swaying. The last person to come down was a boy wearing round glasses.
The little one saw Qi He and the others and said, "Captain, someone has occupied that place."
"Jia Yan, that's not called fortune-telling."
The tall woman said, "First come, first served. There's also open space next to it."
Qi He was just packing up his things.
He stopped putting out the fire, and Meng Yan turned around and said, "We're leaving now. I'll leave this place for you."
The tall woman took a look and said, "Thank you very much."
Three people walked towards this side.
Zhou Ziqian and Meng Yan took the things back to the car first, while Qi He and Yan Chuanbai were using ice to rinse the hot pot.
As the three of them approached, they heard a voice: "Huh?"
The girl named "Jia Yan" stopped by the fire. She tilted her head and saw the words "To Those Who Come Later" on the ground.
Ten seconds later.
"Damn it! Who the hell is so shameless!?"
Then, a three-minute-long sound of birdsong and flowers erupted from the small body: "%&^#*<@......!"
Qi He cast a slight glance.
The two teammates nearby were used to it. Jiayan took a breath after finishing her attack and pointed at the words on the ground. "Captain, look, especially that line 'Come and kill me if you dare~'. How despicable!"
Qi He and Yan Chuanbai: "..."
Yan Chuanbai shook the water in the bucket without changing his expression and said, "Let's go."
Qi He took two steps forward and then came back.
Jiayan was still staring at the Q-version avatar, vowing to remember this face forever.
Qi He stood aside and said sympathetically, "Don't be angry, we are not the only ones who are angry."
A little one looked up at him.
Qi He said lightly, "There will be countless people passing by and seeing this masterpiece."
A little one looked thoughtful, then squatted down.
Xiaodao added at the end, word by word: "Who told you guys are bad, hehe."
A little one: "Hehe."
Qi He left without any fame or achievements.
-
When he got back to the car, Yan Chuanbai looked over and asked, "Where have you been?"
Qi He, "Carry forward your fine traditions."
Zhou Ziqian was confused and asked, "Huh? What's wrong?"
Yan Chuanbai pulled the corner of his mouth and didn't answer, "Drive."
Perhaps because the possibility of infection was ruled out, Qi He felt that Yan Chuanbai was not watching him so closely. He looked out the window all the way, alert to external dangers.
As evening approached, we finally reached the border of City Z.
Once you pass through City Z, you will enter the base patrol range.
The car got off the highway and headed towards the horizon.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone from behind, orange and yellow light and shadows alternated on the road, and a dark city wall appeared faintly in front.
Is there a city wall in this area?
Qi He was squinting his eyes and staring when he suddenly heard Yan Chuanbai say, "Stop the car."
The car braked without hesitation!
No one asked why, because everyone, including Qi He, saw the "city wall" slowly moving closer.
Click, the bullet is loaded.
Yan Chuanbai had already opened the car door first, "Be prepared, we're about to encounter a wave of zombies."
…
A large number of zombies gathered on the only way into the city.
Qi He took the gun and bullets and jumped out of the car.
They had only encountered scattered zombies before, but this was the first time they had encountered such a large-scale influx of zombies. The number was so dense that it was difficult to drive through.
——We have to clear a path first.
Yan Chuanbai rushed to the front.
Zhou Ziqian supported the car with a gun in one hand and drove with the other. Meng Yan scrambled onto the roof, securing herself with vines, and joined the cleanup.
Qi He took a look at the formation and landed three meters behind Yan Chuanbai.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several bullets accurately pierced the zombie's head.
Yan Chuanbai, who was in front of him, glanced over out of the corner of his eye.
This was the first time he witnessed Qi He's skills with his own eyes.
Calm and neat.
Qi He ignored the gazes from the front, his eyes were focused on the zombies charging towards him. He also had something else he wanted to test—
Details magnified, movements slowed down...
He pointed his gun forward and activated his supernatural power. Bang!
“Oh my god…”
Zhou Ziqian looked at Qi He in amazement.
The zombie tide gradually opened up a gap, but more zombies kept surrounding them.
Just then, another gunshot was heard.
A flying zombie that pounced on Meng Yan was shot down from mid-air.
A familiar car came speeding from behind.
The tall captain's gun was still resting on the car window, and a wisp of smoke drifted past.
Jiayan was in the back seat, half of her body almost leaning out of the window: "Captain, we've encountered a wave of zombies, and they're also in front!"
Ye Yi, "Then let's kill them together."
The guy with glasses driving the car stepped on the accelerator and rushed forward.
The three of them didn't get out of the car. Ye Yi's bullets seemed to be charged. Even if they didn't hit the zombies' heads, they would still be unable to move. She looked at the two figures in front of her:
"Ice-type ability. This power is at least S-level."
He turned his gaze and saw Qi He again.
"What an accurate shooting skill." She was stunned for a moment, then frowned. However...something seemed off. "His reaction seemed a little slow."
S-level psychics have better hearing than ordinary people.
Yan Chuanbai tilted his head when he heard this:
Qi He's reaction wasn't actually slow, but as someone who could catch a flying zombie with his bare hands, his speed shouldn't be just this fast...
Bang! Another shot.
Qi He quickly put his gun away, but paused before firing. Almost unnoticed, the zombies shifted slightly, then, as if committing suicide, ran into his bullet.
…
The gap widened.
A loud voice shouted at the right moment: "Everyone get in the car and close the windows!"
Qi He turned around and saw Jiayan.
At the same time, Zhou Ziqian accelerated and rushed over. Qi He didn't hesitate and jumped into the car with Yan Chuanbai on the left and right.
As soon as the car door closed, a cloud of white smoke came out of Jiayan's body.
It's a poison-related ability.
The remaining 1/3 of the zombies around stopped moving.
The two cars took the opportunity to break out of the zombie tide and drove into the city.
-
The two sides separated after entering the city.
Qi He and his friends found a place to stay for the night. After running around for most of the day, Zhou Ziqian and Meng Yan went to bed early.
Qi He was one step behind them in washing up.
He was rinsing his mouth by the sink when a figure appeared in the mirror. Yan Chuanbai leaned against the door.
"Why did you hesitate before shooting today?"
He actually looked at it so carefully.
Just as Qi He was about to explain, the system sounded an alarm: [Pay attention to your character! You act too smart, it's not like you!]
“…”
He speculated about the mentally retarded character, "I can't decide which one to hit first."
Yan Chuanbai: “…”
system:【……】
Yan Chuanbai looked at him for a few seconds, then sneered, "Beat the one who curses at you." Then he turned and walked away.
Qi He: "System, does it look like he's been infected with his mental illness by someone like me who's mentally retarded?"
The system is uncomfortable: [I am also going to be infected with the virus. 】
…
Early the next morning, we continued our journey.
It’s only half a day’s drive from Base I.
The closer we get to the base, not only are there more zombies, but there are also more people coming to the base for refuge.
They killed some zombies along the way.
Qi He collected a bag of crystal cores and shook it: Originally he said he would split it 30% and 70% with Yan Chuanbai, but he fell ill again in the past few days and encountered a zombie wave, so he didn't collect much.
He didn't like owing others, so he just gave it all to Yan Chuanbai.
In the distance, a towering gray wall came into view.
That's Base I.
Zhou Ziqian's voice came from the driver's seat, "Brother Yan, you still plan to go to the headquarters base, right?"
Yan Chuanbai hummed, "Let's go exchange some resources first and rest for two days. What are your plans?"
Meng Yan, "I'll just stay here."
Zhou Ziqian, "Of course I'm following you, Brother Yan!"
Qi He didn't need to express his feelings. He came to Base I for him. But according to the plot, he and Yan Chuanbai will not be separated. It is unknown whether Yan Chuanbai will stay or he will be sent away.
While I was thinking, Base I was getting closer and closer.
The entire picture of the base is also revealed before our eyes.
The curved outer wall was smooth and towering, resembling a solid fortress. There were only two doors at the bottom of the outer wall: Gate A was used to register new arrivals, and Gate B was for teams going in and out on missions.
I heard that this was originally a research and development institute. After the zombie virus broke out, it was converted into a base, and it is still being expanded to accommodate more people who come for refuge.
There was already a long queue outside Exit A.
Anyone entering the base needs to be tested for infection, and those with special abilities also need to be tested for their ability level. Everyone must receive their own identification code and register.
The car was parked aside and could only be driven in after registration was approved.
Although Yan Chuanbai has a status, he still has to wait for Qi He, Meng Yan and others to come together.
The whole team was moving slowly forward.
The two doors are not far apart.
Qi He took a look: there were queues coming in and out of Gate B from time to time. They also had to go through internal and external inspections and scan their ID codes before they could enter.
I don't know if there are any bugs that can escape detection...
"Qi He, what are you looking at?" Meng Yan leaned over.
"Nothing." He looked away.
After waiting in line for half an hour, I finally reached the registration counter.
Meng Yan was talking when she suddenly stopped and looked to the other side.
Qi He leaned forward and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Meng Yan pursed her lips tightly.
He followed the people's gaze and saw a team entering Gate B. There were three men and one woman, all of them were psychics. The man in the lead had a bandage on his arm and looked nonchalant.
Qi He vaguely guessed something and narrowed his eyes.
Yan Chuanbai and Zhou Ziqian's expressions also became gloomy.
Perhaps their gaze was too conspicuous, and several people over there looked over.
Their eyes met, and the other person was stunned at first.
Then the leading man smiled sarcastically, "Hey. You made it to the base too. You're quite impressive, Meng Yan."
The scenes before death came to mind again.
Meng Yan stared at Ke Yuan, her eyes burning: "Don't you feel a bit guilty when you see me?"
The people opposite looked indifferent.
Qi He lowered his eyes and asked, "Are they the ones?"
"……Um."
He turned around, looked at the ID card on the leading man's chest, and called out his name coldly: "Ke Tou."
Meng Yan, “…”
opposite,"……"
Ke Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "My name is Ke Yuan."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Meng Yan again and sneered, "This world is a world where the strong prey on the weak. You can't do anything, so are you going to drag down our entire team?"
Meng Yan took a deep breath, "You can leave me alone, but you can't leave me in the pile of zombies!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's gaze turned to him. Surprise, disgust, contempt...
Ke Yuan and the others looked unnatural for a moment.
Qi He said, "Did you hear that? Ke Tou, apologize."
"You fucking bastard—" Ke Yuan was furious, suspecting that he had done it on purpose! The lightning power surged up, and just as he was about to rush forward, the guard at the door issued a warning:
"No supernatural fighting allowed in the base!"
The thunder and lightning reluctantly weakened a little.
Qi He suddenly pointed at the high wall and said, "It's forbidden inside the base, but isn't this outside the base?"
The guard choked suddenly.
Bases I and II had never been taken over by headquarters; they were merely assigned to these locations. If a powerful psychic were to start a fight, they wouldn't be able to control it.
Ke Yuan looked at Qi He as if he was mentally retarded. He gathered up his lightning again and rushed forward:
"If you want to die, don't blame me..."
Suddenly there was a loud thud.
He rolled out with lightning and sparks, knelt down in the direction of Meng Yan, and kowtowed!
Everyone was quiet and looked over.
Meng Yan was stunned:...?
The sun was blazing overhead, and Ke Yuan's face was almost touching the ground, burning hot. He felt like he had suffered an unprecedented humiliation. He braced his hands on the ground, struggling to raise his head with great effort, staring at Qi He with hatred, "What did you do to me!"
"I forgot to mention it."
Qi He explained seriously, "My special ability is to make others kneel down and kowtow."
The three people beside him: "..."
Onlookers: “…………”
Ke Yuan's eyes were bloodshot: Bullshit! How can there be such a cheap superpower! ?
The author has something to say:
Qi He: If I'm unhappy, all the zombies will kowtow to me. ^^
