Just as Shen Yao and He Jingqian stopped what they were doing and carefully felt the unusually surging energy in their bodies, small streams of electricity leaped up from their fingertips.
The five fingertips of their right hands were covered with streaks of lightning. Although they looked small in size, they seemed to be quite powerful.
Chen Yao and He Jingqian said in unison: "Thunder ability."
He Jingqian looked at the lightning in his hand with some shock: "I didn't expect that I would awaken my superpowers again, and in such an unexpected situation."
Chen Yao: "We awakened our lightning abilities almost at the same time. It's too much of a coincidence."
He Jingqian: "I just suddenly felt an unusual breath in my body, and it appeared."
Chen Yao: "I'm the same as you."
He Jingqian tried to close his palms and control the shape of the lightning with his mind. After a while, he opened his palms again, and a round ball of lightning stood on his palms.
Chen Yao also followed his example and tried it, and soon got a lightning ball.
"I really want to try out how powerful it is..." Chen Yao muttered.
He Jingqian heard her mumbling and was just about to take her to the window to see if there was anything outside they could practice on when the communication device in his coat pocket suddenly rang. He paused for a moment, then quickly picked up the phone.
The serious voice of Yu Fei, the captain of District Two, came over the communication device: "Jing Qian, we're on our way back to base in District Two. We just encountered a few zombies that look like they've mutated and upgraded. They look to be three meters tall and have much stronger attack power than ordinary zombies. This means that the zombie swarm's mutation and upgrade is likely already underway."
Upon hearing this, He Jingqian's expression grew serious. He gripped the communication device tightly and said in a deep voice, "Have you guys written down the approximate location? What you encountered this time should be a Level 1 mutant zombie."
Yu Fei: "I've recorded everything. I'll write a report and then have a meeting as soon as I get back. You can come over then."
He Jingqian: "Well, how long will it take you to arrive?"
Yu Fei: "It will take me about ten minutes to get to the base, but I still have to sort out the records and write a report. See you in half an hour."
He Jingqian: "Okay, see you in half an hour."
Yu Fei: "Okay, that's it for now. We'll talk about it in detail when we meet."
After He Jingqian ended his contact with Yu Fei, he turned around and looked at Chen Yao, and saw that she was still holding the round ball of lightning in her hand, staring at him with wide eyes. So, she had been maintaining the same posture and waiting for him?
He Jingqian's heart moved slightly. He smiled and took her to the window. He pointed to a dead tree not far away and said, "That dead tree, first aim at a part of it, and then try to use your mind to guide the lightning in your hand to attack it."
Chen Yao did as he instructed. She first squinted her eyes and aimed at the root of the dead tree, determining the attack point. Then she raised her hand and used her mind to drive the lightning in her hand to attack.
Not long after, there was a loud "boom" and the dead tree was directly pierced and knocked down by lightning.
Chen Yao's eyes lit up at the sight, and she was thrilled. She really liked this technique, which could harness the power of natural elements for long-range attacks. With more practice, she might be able to knock down a small group of zombies with a single blow.
Seeing her overjoyed expression, He Jingqian couldn't help but reach out and touch her head, praising her in a low voice, "Amazing."
Chen Yao smiled and urged him: "Captain, you should try it too. This lightning ability feels very good."
He Jingqian nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed it at the fallen dead tree. With a thought, a ball of lightning flew straight over and the dead tree was instantly split into two.
Chen Yao clapped her hands in support of him, imitating his previous behavior and praising him, "Great."
He Jingqian smiled and was about to say something when the communication device in his pocket suddenly rang again.
He suddenly felt a bad premonition and quickly picked up the phone. The captain of District 5, Mo Fan, spoke in a disjointed and painful voice from the communication device:
"Jingqian... Xietang... direction..."
"Requesting... support..."
"Come quickly... there are mutants... zombies..."
With a "beep", the device was forcibly hung up. Before hanging up, He Jingqian seemed to vaguely hear a sound like trampling. If... this was the deliberate destruction caused by the mutant zombies, then Mo Fan might be in great danger.
At this moment, He Jingqian's face changed completely, and he felt a little nervous. He didn't know how long the people in District 5 could hold on. He needed to immediately gather a group of people and weapons and go to a specific location to provide support.
Thinking of this, he could only lower his head and apologize to Shen Yao, explaining that there was an emergency situation that required his help, so he had to rush over now and could no longer accompany her through the critical moment of awakening her superpowers.
Chen Yao could understand this urgent situation, so she quickly put on her clothes and wanted to go with him, but he stopped her directly:
"I don't know the specific situation yet, so don't come with me. Besides, you're in a critical period right now, your body is unstable and you're weak. You should rest well at home and wait for me to come back."
Chen Yao's current condition was indeed as he said. Her body was not stable and there were many problems. Moreover, Chen Yao herself felt that even if she went with her now, she would not be able to help much.
She had no choice but to nod and said, "As soon as I recover, I will rush over to support you."
He Jingqian smiled, neither agreeing nor refusing. He stretched out his hand and suddenly pulled her into his arms, looking into her eyes with burning eyes, then lowered his head——
Press a kiss lightly.
Then he hugged her and whispered, "If I can come back alive, promise to be with me, okay?"
Chen Yao was silent, and her mood suddenly became heavy.
He Jingqian pursed his lips and continued, "Of course, if I can't come back alive, just pretend I never told you anything."
Chen Yao widened her eyes and looked at him straight.
He Jingqian rubbed her head and said with a smile: "I'm leaving first, take care of yourself."
There was a sense of fearlessness in that smile.
Chen Yao gritted her teeth, hugged him and kissed him hard, and said angrily: "You dare to die and try it."
He Jingqian suddenly smiled and said, "Wait for me to come back."
