Upon arriving at the canteen, Qian Tao led everyone into a room in the right corridor, which was a small changing room where they hid the food they had found earlier.
Qian Tao opened the bottom wardrobe door, inside which were the supplies they had found earlier, including biscuits, small bread rolls, and instant noodles.
He pointed to these items and said, "These are some things we found when we came out to look for food. We secretly put them here so we could come back and get them later."
Xu Anran asked, "Where did you find these things?"
Qian Tao said, "We found it in the small storage room behind the kitchen door, and we took this little bit and put it here."
"Is there any left there?"
"There are still some, which probably haven't been discovered yet."
Qian Meng then asked, "Why did you leave when you were here before?"
Qian Tao's underlings said angrily, "There are more than two hundred of us in total. We were the first ten or so to awaken our superpowers. Then they used moral blackmail to force us to come out and find food."
"Aren't they coming out? Then what are they doing?" Qian Meng asked.
"Hmph, still coming out? There were a few bugs that scared them so much that they refused to come out, saying that with great power comes great responsibility, and that if we don't come out to find food, we're killing people."
She continued, "We really couldn't take it anymore, so we decided to leave."
Xu Anran asked, "It can't be just a few of you who have awakened superpowers, right?"
Qian Tao said, "Of course it's not just us, there are others too, but those people are all Teacher Xu's people. He arranged the work in his capacity as a teacher, saying that we are capable and should come out, while the others are still adapting."
Actually, they secretly hid quite a few things while we were away. So, we were also making preparations outside, so we could leave at any time.
After that, they moved everything back to the storage room.
The next day, they went together to the back door of the cafeteria, the place where fast food was stored.
This time, when they opened the door, they were overjoyed to see boxes of instant noodles, other food, and water inside. They decided to come and carry some every day, as this should be enough for them to eat for several years.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow darted in. It turned out to be a rat. Xu Liang took a large knife and chopped the rat in half at the waist.
The new recruits, seeing how skilled Xu Liang was, all looked at him with admiration, calling him "Brother Liang" repeatedly and asking him to teach them a few moves.
Xu Liang was a little embarrassed by their praise and said he would go back and practice with them.
They moved only a small portion of the tickets after a week of continuous moving. During this week, they found a few more train tickets.
Later, when I went to the kitchen to move some things, I saw that there were already people guarding the place; they must have been Teacher Xu's people.
They saw that they had collected enough food, so they decided not to move any more.
After lunch, Xu Anran went back to her room to rest. Lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, she suddenly saw the scene she had always wanted to see.
Uncle Li was lying in the hospital bed when the doctor injected him with something, and soon Uncle Li fell into a deep sleep.
The scene shifts to a series of imposing skyscrapers, surrounded by many strange people.
Some of them have mechanical arms, some have mechanical legs, and some have human upper bodies but octopus-like lower bodies.
...
The doctor replaced all of Uncle Li's internal organs with new ones. These new organs were special; they were all taken out of the jar and kept moving, as if they could survive on their own.
The scene flashes again, and a group of people storm into the hospital and attack them.
Uncle Li's surgery was still in progress when that group of people broke in, interrupting the final step, and Uncle Li died on his hospital bed.
Xu Anran and the others were entangled elsewhere and were unable to rescue Uncle Li in time.
...
That evening, during dinner, Xu Anran seemed a little absent-minded. Luo Xi, who was sitting next to her, asked, "What's wrong? You look preoccupied."
Xu Anran called Luo Xi into the room alone and told her about the vision she had foreseen.
Luo Xi listened attentively, then suddenly asked, "Why did Uncle Li have surgery? What happened to him?"
Xu Anran then told her about Uncle Li's illness and said, "Only you, me, and Chang'an know about this. No one else knows yet. We're mainly afraid that Xiao Feng will hear the news, so we have to keep it a secret for now."
Luo Xi nodded and continued, "You said that seeing Uncle Li undergoing surgery in the footage means that a cure for Uncle Li has been found, right?"
“That’s right.” Xu Anran nodded.
Luo Xi frowned: "But if someone broke in and caused damage, what's the situation with these intruders? Did they just happen to be there, or was it premeditated?"
“That’s what I’m worried about too. In the footage I saw, those people were able to catch us off guard, so it seems they had some understanding of our capabilities. I feel it’s more likely that this was premeditated,” Xu Anran said, recalling some of the footage she had seen as she shared her speculation.
Luo Xi agreed with her: "I feel the same way. So, An Ran, what are your thoughts now, and what are you planning to do?"
Xu Anran frowned in thought, and finally said, "Since I can foresee it, I wonder if we can avoid this matter in advance?"
"So, are we still going to the world you foresaw to perform surgery on Uncle Li?" Luo Xi asked.
"Let's go. We'll be fully prepared before we go. After all, it's best for Uncle Li to recover as soon as possible. I believe we can manage if we keep it a secret."
"If we don't give it a try, who knows when we'll have another chance? After all, the qualifying rounds are just around the corner," Xu Anran said firmly.
Then she hesitated for a moment: "However, this is related to Uncle Li's life after all, so I feel I should tell Uncle Li and see what he thinks."
Luo Xi said from the side, "I feel that Uncle Li will also choose to go. I'll go with you to find Uncle Li later."
"Um."
That night, it just so happened that Uncle Li and Zhao Chang'an were keeping watch at the watchtower when Xu Anran and Luo Xi came to find them.
Xu Anran told the two of them what she had foreseen, and they also felt that the people she saw in the scene were premeditated.
Uncle Li also said, "Then tell me, how did those people find out about us?"
The group exchanged glances, and couldn't help but think of the worst possible outcome: there was a traitor among them!
Xu Anran didn't know much about the others, but after spending time with them, she felt that none of them were the type to do such a thing.
She looked at Luo Xi and asked, "What do you think?"
“I don’t think we’re likely to be on the same team. We’ve been through thick and thin together; if we were going to betray each other, we would have done so long ago,” Luo Xi said.
"So, if Team One is unlikely, what about Team Two?" Zhao Chang'an said.
"Second Team? Sister Anran, if you didn't know about that group of people, and didn't know there was a mole, then would you have brought the Second Team with you in those operations?" Luo Xi asked.
Xu Anran replied, "Probably not. I'm not very familiar with the second team, so I'll choose to act with people I'm familiar with."
