Chapter 69. This person gave her a sense of reassurance...
Sheng Hui stayed in the hospital for a while. The deputy leader, probably to appease the other ability users, sent someone to deliver some things to her.
Although Lei Tao and the others died, Sheng Hui also received some of the crystal cores obtained from fighting the zombies.
She's physically fine, but she can still cause minor health issues. It would indeed seem strange if she were the only one to return safely.
Anyway, the healing-type ability user didn't see anything wrong and even advised her to rest a little longer.
During this time, Ye Shuangshuang visited her and brought her some fruit.
"Thanks."
Ye Shuangshuang sat with her for a while, but Ye Shuangshuang also had her own things to do, so she left after saying a few words.
Sheng Hui wasn't idle either. After resting in bed for a while, she felt that her range of perception had expanded again.
She had previously used her superpowers to attract all the nearby zombies to attack Lei Tao and his group, which in turn caused them to self-destruct, almost exhausting her superpowers.
Fortunately, she had a lot of crystal cores stored in her space, otherwise it would have been difficult to replenish the energy she had consumed.
Sheng Hui did not regret doing so. Although exhausting her superpowers made her feel terrible, her superpowers were enhanced again after reabsorbing the energy of the crystal core.
She can perceive anything within the hospital premises without restraint, and can even extend her perception beyond the hospital grounds.
Sheng Hui lay on the bed, her face somewhat pale.
She didn't explore too wide an area; there were several places in the base that were heavily guarded, so Sheng Hui naturally didn't risk her life there.
Beibei could help, but she has only seen photos of her parents and never met them in person. Given the current situation, she might not be able to recognize them.
Since none of the superhumans had parents, she started investigating among ordinary people.
After looking around the hospital, I did see a few familiar faces.
They are all my family's old neighbors.
Upon seeing them, Sheng Hui withdrew her senses.
She gripped the blanket, looking somewhat nervous. She was suddenly afraid; what if she got bad news from them?
Sheng Hui hesitated for a moment, then decided to go and ask. She had come here to find her parents, and she should know whether they were alive or dead.
After figuring things out, Sheng Hui was discharged from the hospital.
She took Big Black to where ordinary people lived.
Along the way, people kept staring at her. Thanks to the deputy leader's wife's antics, Sheng Hui is now quite famous in the base.
Everyone knows she can command a level six superhuman dog.
I heard that the person in charge also plans to have her help raise mutated chickens, ducks and geese in the future, and everyone is quite looking forward to it, since it's really not easy to eat meat these days.
Sheng Hui had helped out here before, and some people still remember her.
However, Sheng Hui is not here to help this time.
After she arrived, she could freely use her senses here, found the person she was looking for, walked straight to a dormitory, and knocked on the door.
The door opened suddenly, and Sheng Hui saw the scene inside. There were about ten people living in the room, and the room looked a bit messy.
The person who opened the door was somewhat surprised to see Sheng Hui. The news about Sheng Hui had spread throughout the base in the past few days. They didn't know Sheng Hui, but there was no one else but a girl with a black dog by her side.
Sheng Hui spotted the person lying on the bed at a glance.
"Aunt Wu," Sheng Hui called out.
The person on the bed looked up at Sheng Hui, scrutinized her for a long time, and looked somewhat surprised. "You're Xiao Hui?"
Seeing that Sheng Hui knew someone, the person stepped aside to let Sheng Hui into the house.
Sheng Hui nodded her thanks, went over to pour Aunt Wu a glass of water, and then fed Aunt Wu the medicine she had brought from the hospital.
Where did you get the medicine?
"These are from the hospital, take the medicine first."
Although Aunt Wu was shocked, she still followed Sheng Hui's hand and took the medicine, then drank some water.
"Xiao Hui, you're still alive, that's wonderful! I wonder if Tingting is alright?" Aunt Wu murmured as she looked at Sheng Hui.
Aunt Wu is Sheng Hui's neighbor. Aunt Wu's daughter, Tingting, is Sheng Hui's good friend. They were together from kindergarten to middle school, and only separated when they went to college.
Before the apocalypse, she had made plans with Tingting to go out and play together after returning home, and then this happened.
Sheng Hui looked at Aunt Wu and finally asked, "Aunt Wu, where are my parents? Are they still alive?"
Aunt Wu coughed twice, then nodded. "They were still alive when we separated. I don't really know what's going on with your parents now."
"Really?" Sheng Hui looked at Aunt Wu with surprise.
It's so good that her parents are still alive.
"Do you know where they are now?"
Aunt Wu shook her head. "There were so many zombies back then, and so many people died. We hid at home and didn't dare to go out. Later, a group of superhumans came, saw us, and took us in. Your parents were worried about you and said they were going to find you, so they separated from us. I don't know where they are now."
As she spoke, Aunt Wu coughed again.
Her health had always been like this; before the apocalypse, there was medicine to control it, so it wasn't that serious.
After the apocalypse, she ran out of the medicine she brought with her, and now she has no medicine left. If she weren't so physically weak, she would have gone to find her daughter, Tingting.
Sheng Hui never expected it to turn out this way.
She reached out and patted Aunt Wu on the back.
"Did my parents come looking for me?"
She followed Yan Ji and his team further and further away, and even when her parents arrived safely at her school, they couldn't find her at all.
Where are Mom and Dad now?
Are they still alive?
"It's alright, Xiao Hui. Your father has also awakened his superpowers. It's okay."
Seeing Sheng Hui's worry, Aunt Wu patted Sheng Hui's hand.
It was thanks to Lao Sheng's awakening of his superpowers that he protected his old neighbors; otherwise, they really wouldn't have been able to make it to the base alive.
It was because Lao Sheng possessed supernatural abilities that they dared to go looking for their daughter.
There was no way to contact them, so I don't know what happened to them after they left. Sheng Hui came looking for them, though the father and daughter probably missed each other along the way.
Sheng Hui wasn't entirely at ease. From Aunt Wu's words, she could tell that her mother hadn't awakened any superpowers, and only her father was a superpowered individual who also had to protect her mother. Sheng Hui was still worried about them.
Zombies are not easy to deal with, not to mention the mutated plants and animals.
If you encounter a malicious superhuman, you could also be in danger.
The situation wasn't so optimistic; I was still worried until I saw my parents safe and sound.
Just as she was saying more to Aunt Wu, the base's alarm suddenly went off.
Sheng Hui was confused, so Aunt Wu explained, "This is to gather people with superpowers."
Sheng Hui glanced at the big black dog squatting beside her and took out a bottle of medicine, which she had found at the pharmacy before.
The vitamin tablets were all gone; nobody takes this kind of medicine, but Aunt Wu still needs them.
She held Aunt Wu's hand and said, "Aunt Wu, please take good care of yourself. Tingting will be alright. She must be looking for you too."
Sheng Hui didn't know how to help Aunt Wu gain superpowers, and she was also worried that Aunt Wu's superpowers wouldn't be able to work while she wasn't there.
But having superpowers is better than not having them.
Sensing a faint fluctuation of supernatural power emanating from Aunt Wu, Sheng Hui released Aunt Wu's hand.
She picked up Dahei and said, "Aunt Wu, I'll be going now. We can talk again another time."
Sheng Hui, carrying Dahei, saw the other ability users walking towards the base's conference center and followed them.
During this time, they also encountered Ye Shuangshuang, whose expression was very solemn.
"What happened?" Sheng Hui asked.
Ye Shuangshuang sighed, "It seems there's an urgent mission; they're summoning people with superpowers."
As she spoke, Ye Shuangshuang shook her head and smiled bitterly, "It has nothing to do with me anymore. The sudden gathering of ability users suggests that the mission is very difficult and related to high-level ability users."
Such urgent missions should be carried out by at least a level six or higher ability user.
The higher the level of the superhuman, the more likely they are to sit in the front row during meetings.
Sheng Hui leaned against Da Hei and sat in front.
The gazes of the superhumans around her fell on her intentionally or unintentionally, but Sheng Hui pretended not to notice.
The base leader stood on the platform and said directly, "There is a very urgent mission that needs to be carried out this time, and it must be undertaken by a level six or above ability user."
A team of superpowered individuals must have at least five members.
Water-type ability users are essential to ensure everyone has access to sufficient water.
Then there are the superhumans with the strongest combat power. They must be superhumans with leadership abilities. If the people are not united, it is easy for them to be overrun by zombies.
Although they didn't know what the mission was, some qualified superhumans still signed up.
Sheng Hui thought this was a good opportunity to visit her parents, so she signed up for the program as well.
The leader collected the names of all the registered superhumans and then had the person in charge assign them to different groups.
Most of them are superhumans who have already formed teams.
Therefore, they do not need to rearrange.
Sheng Hui is an exception.
When they heard that she had also signed up, the other superhumans frowned.
Some even muttered, "I hope they don't end up in our team."
"Exactly, isn't this just deliberately causing trouble for others?"
"What can an ordinary person do with a dog? What if that mutated dog goes out of control and turns around and bites us?"
"If you ask me, we should just not let her go."
"Come join our team." It was a woman who spoke.
She was wearing a leather outfit, her hair was cut very short, she had an earring on her left ear, and a dagger was strapped to her thigh.
If he doesn't speak, it's a little hard to tell his gender, and he looks quite handsome.
Sheng Hui, however, had already recognized her.
The person she had been hiding in the small cubicle of the supermarket saw this team of superpowered individuals.
"Liang You, your team is already full, why would you want to take on another burden?" someone asked, puzzled.
"Who says a team can only have five people?"
Liang You ignored them, a smirk playing on his lips, looking both roguish and handsome. He extended his hand to Sheng Hui, "Welcome to our team."
Sheng Hui paused for a moment, then reached out her hand as well. The moment their hands touched, her senses became even clearer.
Captain Liang's superpower is almost at level eight.
But she seemed to be deliberately suppressing it.
Sheng Hui pretended not to know, but she still thanked Liang You sincerely for choosing her, saying, "Thank you. Dahei and I will definitely not hold you back."
All the applicants were divided into six special ability teams.
The base cannot be without high-level superhumans, so the final decision was made by drawing lots, and four superhuman teams were dispatched to set off in four different directions.
Liang You and his team were one of the squads that carried out the mission.
The base leader only told the four captains about this mission; the others were unaware of it.
It wasn't until they drove the truck out of the base that the team members asked, "Captain, what mission are we on this time? Why are you being so secretive?"
Once outside the base, Liang You explained the mission: "The leader wants us to find someone."
"who?"
"A professor from a medical university, specializing in bacteriology, is said to be able to develop antibodies against the zombie virus."
"real?"
"That would be wonderful."
I miss the old days so much.
The superhumans in the team were all very happy to hear the news.
If they can figure it out, it means they can completely eliminate zombies and restore world order.
Liang You, however, was not so cheerful. "It's just hearsay. Don't be so optimistic. The leader only found out from other bases. We don't know what the person looks like, where they are, or what the research results are. We're not even sure if we can find them."
Everyone fell silent.
Therefore, the base dispatched four teams of superpowered individuals, each heading in a different direction to search for the professor who was said to have developed the antibody.
Sheng Hui remained seated in the corner, not participating in their conversation.
Liang You stared at Sheng Hui for a while before speaking, "Sheng Hui, do you have any thoughts? Since we're all on the same team, why don't you share your opinion?"
Sheng Hui was also pondering whether she would be able to find out about her parents during this trip. She was a little confused when she was suddenly called out.
"Boss, why are you asking her?"
Liang You looked at everyone and said, "Since you are members of our team, I hope you will not do anything that causes discord. Don't forget, the zombies are also evolving. If we don't cooperate, it will be easy for the zombies to break through, and then it will only be more dangerous."
Everyone believed Liang You's words, after all, they had all been saved by Liang You, and it was through repeated practice that they were able to cooperate so well now.
However, Sheng Hui's sudden addition did make them feel very awkward.
But it wasn't that they rejected her; it was more out of curiosity—curious that an ordinary person could command mutated dogs in battle.
Sheng Hui looked at Liang You and asked, "Is there absolutely no information about that professor?"
"Yes, she is said to be a female professor."
"What do you look like? How old are you?"
"Around forty years old, short hair, wearing glasses."
The scope of female university professors is not very broad, but in the current situation, they don't have any photos, so it's impossible for that professor to go around claiming to be a university professor.
If you search based on appearance, the scope is incredibly vast.
Although the person who leaked the information had a good relationship with the leader, he also wanted to invite the professor to his base, so it was already quite remarkable that he was able to reveal so much.
The rest is up to them.
Liang You still carried the base's pager with him; the leader would continue to notify them of any new information he received.
But they definitely need to find this professor.
"Do you know the exact location of the school? If we have anything that professor used, perhaps Big Black can help. Mutant dogs have an amazing sense of smell."
Liang You's gaze fell on the big black dog in Sheng Hui's arms.
Her superpowers are among the best in the base; high-level superpowered individuals can see the abilities of low-level superpowered individuals.
But now, she can't even tell the difference between a mutated dog and a normal dog.
It's said that this mutated dog's ability has been detected as level six, but Liang You doesn't think so.
Even Sheng Hui herself seemed somewhat unfathomable to Liang You. Liang You didn't perceive any special abilities in Sheng Hui, but her calm and composed demeanor always made Liang You feel that this person was very special.
As for how special she was, she wasn't sure, but she felt that she was extraordinary.
However, she didn't say anything. She herself was hiding her true strength, so it was fine for others to hide theirs as well.
Given the current situation, it's normal to take precautions.
The composure Sheng Hui exuded gave Liang You an indescribable feeling.
Her intuition was very accurate; relying on it, Liang You avoided danger several times. She didn't sense anything from Sheng Hui; on the contrary, she felt a sense of security from Sheng Hui.
One more thing: this girl named Sheng Hui went out with Lei Tao and actually came back alive. From this point of view, she is no ordinary person.
She knew about Lei Tao's affairs and had even clashed with him. As a high-level ability user, she knew that Lei Tao would have to think twice before taking action against her.
Lei Tao probably underestimated his opponent this time, but Liang You had no sympathy for Lei Tao. As for his group, all we can say is that they died well, they died a wonderful death!
This is also why she chose to let Sheng Hui join; perhaps their team will have unexpected gains in this mission.
