Chapter 85 Dawn Squad
Within the base.
"Dead? What a joke! My daughter went out to rescue people with several helicopters and so many superhumans. How could she possibly die? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll teach you a lesson."
Yu Wan was playing mahjong with several wealthy women when she received a call from the rescue team. Her first reaction was that it was a prank.
Her husband is in charge of the base's logistics; countless people are envious of him.
It's not surprising that someone would play a prank on her to annoy her.
The other wives laughed and said, "Your husband, Lao Meng, is really getting more and more capable. All those despicable people are coming to bother you."
"I don't know what these people are thinking. They curse your daughter to death to annoy you, as if that will bring down Lao Meng and put them in charge of the logistics department."
Yu Wan slammed her hand on the hang-up button. "My Qingyue is now a dual-elemental ability user, the first one in the base. She has both spatial and precognitive abilities, both extremely rare. How could she possibly be dead?"
"Even if something terrible happens and everyone in the rescue team dies, it's impossible for my Qingyue to die."
"Yes, yes, Qingyue's two abilities are indeed powerful. I heard that Qingyue offered some suggestions in the crystal core research group, which saved a lot of trouble in the crystal core research."
"That precognitive ability is amazing. Ever since she predicted all sorts of natural disasters in the future, the base has been making preparations in advance. Qingyue deserves a lot of credit for that."
As the group was chatting, Yu Wan's phone rang again.
Seeing that it was still the same number, she hung up the silent mode and continued playing mahjong.
Outside the room, the other ladies were enjoying tea and chatting.
Today is Mrs. Gu's birthday, and all the prominent ladies in the base have come.
Mrs. Gu's son, Gu Jinchen, and Meng Qingyue are husband and wife. Yu Wan, who became the other woman through a mistress, is no longer respectable, but she is here today as well.
These wives used to dislike her.
However, after the apocalypse, Meng Hanyuan took charge of the logistics department, and due to various factors, they became much more polite to Yu Wan.
With a capable husband and an even more capable daughter, Yu Wan held her head high in the social circle of wives, with people praising her.
She found it very pleasing.
Mrs. Gu was in the living room having snacks and tea with the other ladies.
The pastries on the table were exquisite and beautiful, no less so than those before the apocalypse.
As they were talking, Mrs. Gu's phone rang.
She answered the phone, her face changing drastically. "Dead? How could that be?"
Mrs. Gu disregarded all etiquette, grabbed her phone, and ran outside.
The other ladies were startled and immediately began to make a fuss.
"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry, Mrs. Gu?"
"I heard her say that someone died, but I didn't know who died, and then she rushed out the door."
"It's probably a relative. The apocalypse is so terrifying now, who knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first."
Yu Wan, who was playing mahjong in her room, heard the commotion outside and quickly came out to check what was happening.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Someone replied to her, "Mrs. Gu just received a phone call, it seems someone died, and she rushed out in a panic."
Yu Wan's heart skipped a beat as she thought of the phone call she had just received.
The person who could cause Mrs. Gu to lose her composure must be someone extremely close to her.
Meng Qingyue and Gu Jinchen went out together this time.
A terrible premonition welled up in Yu Wan's heart, and she staggered as she ran outside.
When they arrived at the rescue department's office, they saw two bodies lying on a trolley, and they were trembling with fear.
Yu Wan walked to the small cart, lifted the white cloth on it, and saw Meng Qingyue's pale face.
At that moment, Yu Wan's taut string snapped, and she went mad on the spot, "How could my daughter die? She was a dual-elemental ability user. She could hide in her spatial dimension when she was in danger. How could she die? You have to give me an explanation. Why did my daughter die?"
Mrs. Gu lay on Gu Jinchen's body, crying until she almost stopped breathing.
Meng Hanyuan and Mr. Gu had arrived long ago.
They didn't speak, but the anger on their faces told everyone that if they didn't get an explanation, they would destroy the entire rescue department.
Wu Ming, the head of the rescue department, was sweating bullets when he saw the two families who were about to eat people.
What is he supposed to say?
It is said that Meng Qingyue shot Gu Jinchen, and the already dead Gu Jinchen suddenly retaliated and killed Meng Qingyue.
Even now, Wu Ming himself finds it absurd, let alone their disbelief.
But no matter how outrageous it is, we still need to give both families an explanation.
Wu Ming said apologetically, "Gentlemen and ladies, please come to my office to talk."
Yu Wan was still going crazy, yelling, "Give me back my daughter's life! My wonderful daughter, how could she die after going out with your rescue team? Are all of you incompetent? You couldn't even protect two people!"
Meng Hanyuan grabbed her and led her toward the office.
He also wanted to know why, when more than a dozen people with superpowers went out together, everyone else was fine, but their two children died.
Wu Ming managed to calm the four people down and sat down in his office. He took out the video footage from the helicopter, which recorded the entire incident.
"According to our understanding, it was Meng Qingyue who shot Gu Jinchen from behind, and Gu Jinchen used his supernatural ability to condense ice pillars to kill Meng Qingyue."
Meng Shiwan was also present. They were talking about something, but the helicopter rotors hadn't completely stopped, and the noise was too loud to hear clearly. However, it was certain that Meng Shiwan did not lift a finger throughout the entire conversation.
"You're talking nonsense!"
Yu Wan jumped to her feet, sending the chair flying a considerable distance behind her. Her face was flushed with anger, and her voice was hysterical.
"Useless! You bunch of useless people! Not only did you fail to protect her, but you also dared to frame Qingyue. She loves Gu Jinchen so much, and she worked so hard to be with him. How could she possibly kill Gu Jinchen?"
Yu Wan was panting heavily.
Meng Hanyuan said coldly, "Qingyue would never kill Gu Jinchen. There must be another reason behind it. Didn't we hear recently that Meng Shiwan is a multi-elemental ability user? Could it be that she did something?"
Before he could finish speaking, Mr. Gu questioned, "Neither Meng Qingyue nor Meng Shiwan had any motive to kill Jin Chen."
After Jin Chen and Meng Qingyue got married, Meng Shiwan was angry and beat up Jin Chen, but before the end of the world, she liked Jin Chen very much. Even if she betrayed Meng Shiwan, she would not kill him because of these things.
Now, tell me, how exactly did my son die?
Madam Gu sobbed uncontrollably, "My son is... he's dead, so how could he suddenly kill someone? Can a dead person use superpowers? Who are you trying to fool?"
Wu Ming was completely bewildered by the four people's questions.
The truth is unbelievable, but that's the truth. What more explanation do you need for him?
"The video clearly shows that this is the truth. Putting everything else aside, the video clearly records Meng Qingyue shooting Gu Jinchen, and Gu Jinchen killing Meng Qingyue in return. That's exactly it."
Yu Wan picked up a water glass from the table and smashed it on Wu Ming's head. "You're talking nonsense! If this matter isn't explained reasonably, I'm not finished with you. Qingyue is so outstanding. She just awakened her second superpower and has a bright future. How could she just die like this?"
Wu Ming covered his head, also feeling a surge of anger. "When Meng Shiwan comes back, I'll go and ask her what exactly happened at the scene."
He didn't kill the person, so what explanation do you want from him? He has no answer whatsoever.
Yu Wan suddenly calmed down, and she muttered incoherently, "Meng Shiwan, it's Meng Shiwan. There were only the three of them at the scene. Qingyue and Gu Jinchen died suspiciously. It must have been Meng Shiwan who did it. I'm not finished with her."
Seeing that she was becoming somewhat delirious, Wu Ming reminded her, "There is no evidence to prove that Meng Shiwan was the killer."
Yu Wan shouted, "There's no evidence to prove that Meng Shiwan didn't kill them. I heard she's a level 5 multi-elemental ability user; it's not surprising she could kill two people without lifting a finger."
You can't protect Meng Shiwan just because she's powerful. I want her to suffer a terrible death.
Wu Ming: ...
This woman must be out of her mind.
Mr. Gu stared coldly at Meng Hanyuan, "Whoever killed her, it was your Meng family's daughter. Your Meng family had better give us an explanation."
Seeing the increasingly chaotic scene, Wu Ming silently turned away, unwilling to face the situation before him.
At this moment, Meng Shiwan and his group were on their way back to the base.
When we went there, we cleared the roadblocks, and the return trip was much smoother.
Meng Shiwan drove the RV, clearing the way while killing zombies.
Following behind was Anjavin, who was driving a tow truck.
Qiu Zhiyi was driving another tow truck. He had just learned how to drive it and was driving slowly and fast, clearly a novice.
Su Su sat next to him, watching him closely to make sure he didn't chase after the car in front.
Tao Yarong was driving the truck at the very back.
In the back of the truck cab, there is a place for the driver to rest and sleep. Lei Zhe, wrapped in bandages, was lying there chatting on his phone.
"You guys think that now that our team is formed, we should come up with a name, something powerful that makes people tremble with fear."
He spoke with a strong voice, so it seemed he wouldn't die anytime soon.
Tao Yarong thought for a moment, "Since my sister is so amazing, we should definitely name it after her. How about 'Never-Too-Late Team'?"
Lei Zhe protested, "It's not domineering at all, it doesn't suit my style."
Tao Yarong asked disdainfully, "Then what should we call it?"
After thinking for a long time, Lei Zhe excitedly said, "How about calling it the Tyrant Wolf Squad? It sounds so badass."
Tao Yarong disliked him even more, saying, "It sounds awful."
Qiu Zhiyi interjected, "How about we call it the Beast King Squad?"
This time it was Su Su's turn to complain, "It doesn't sound good."
Meng Shiwan was driving, holding Taxue in her arms, listening to their arguing in the group chat.
Since she came back, Taxue has been very clingy, always lying on her lap and not going anywhere.
They were afraid that Meng Shiwan would leave again.
Ta Xue nuzzled her head against Meng Shiwan's lap, whimpering and acting coquettishly.
It waited patiently for the person to return.
Mimi doesn't want anyone to leave again.
Meng Shiwan patted its back and said, "Let's call it Dawn, the Dawn Squad. After darkness, dawn will always come."
After a moment of silence in the group chat, the team members began to flatter each other.
"My sister is so smart; she came up with the best-sounding name."
"Dawn Squad, it sounds really good, doesn't it? It's not that it's super powerful, but it's full of hope."
"I hereby declare that the Dawn Squad is officially established, and from now on we are all members of the Dawn Squad."
