Chapter 118, Extra 20: Healing Angel X Doomsday Boss
More than 30 years have passed since the virus leaked on Earth, leading to a zombie outbreak.
Over the past thirty years, the Earth, which was once a highly developed technological, economic and civilized world, has become a playground for zombies. Death and fear have shrouded this land, and humans have become the weakest existence.
There was a time when humans thought they were going to become extinct.
However, the fittest survive. When the virus leaked and caused global mutations, some humans also mutated. These are the guardians of the earth today, the mutants who can fight against zombies.
The psychics have awakened the five elements of superpowers. Not only do they possess the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, but their lifespans have also been doubled. No matter if they were students or office workers, cleaners or white-collar elites, as long as they have awakened their superpowers, they will automatically become a member of the Guardian Alliance and fight to protect the earth.
Qi Ying is one of the first people with special abilities to awaken when the doomsday comes.
She is a water-type mutant.
At that time, she was still in high school. At first, her ability made her family respected and protected. She quickly became a member of the alliance and was divided into a group with other students who had awakened their abilities in the school, and began their journey of survival in the apocalypse.
However, as time went by, everyone discovered that Qi Ying's ability had never been upgraded. At the beginning, she could squeeze out a teacup of water from her fingertips, but after so many years, she could still only squeeze out a teacup of water.
Once you squeeze it out, it’s gone and you won’t be able to use your supernatural powers for the whole day. You can only wait until you recover and continue squeezing out the water the next day.
In the end times, resources are scarce, food and water sources are polluted, and water can only be provided by water users. As a result, the water that Qi Ying can provide is not enough for her to drink.
After so many years, other people around her have been constantly upgrading and getting stronger. The water-type schoolmate who awakened a few years later than her can already use her power to drain the moisture from the air to encircle and suppress the enemy, but she can only squeeze out water from the beginning to now, which is useless.
The other psychics in the team looked down on her and called her a useless waste. If the team leader had not been a senior who had a crush on her in high school and had suppressed the dissatisfaction in the team and always kept her with him, Qi Ying would have been expelled long ago.
Another operation to encircle and exterminate zombies.
Due to the team members' mistake, the nearby zombies were alarmed during the evacuation. Qi Ying, who stayed at the exit to meet her teammates, watched the zombies chasing the injured teammates, but she had no way to stop them. She tried her best to use her supernatural powers to block them, but she could only squeeze out a little water.
Seeing that his teammates were about to be captured by zombies, Qi Ying jumped forward without thinking, intending to serve as a meat shield for his teammates. Fortunately, the captain arrived in time and rescued both of them.
Half of a teammate's leg was bitten and he was carried away for emergency treatment. As soon as he returned to the team, Qi Ying was greeted with ridicule and complaints from the entire team.
Qi Ying did not make any excuses. She was used to such a difficult and hard life.
But living in the end times, who wouldn’t be suffering?
In the end times, supplies were scarce, and everyone got what they paid for. She had the weakest ability, paid the least, and got the least food.
She was never full.
She had long forgotten the taste of the strawberry candy she used to love.
After sending his teammates to the medical station, the captain came back and saw that his teammates were bullying Qi Ying again. He immediately shouted angrily: "Shut up! If Xiaoshui hadn't made a mistake and alerted the enemy, how could she have been injured! If you want to blame someone, blame her for being careless. Get out now!"
The team members glared at Qi Ying who was standing in the corner and left reluctantly.
After everyone left, the captain walked over and said to the little girl who was huddled up with her head down, "Xiao Shui is fine. Just take a break for a while. You were also frightened this time. Don't go on any missions recently."
Qi Ying slowly raised her head, her eyes were a little red, but she didn't cry. She pursed her lips and smiled at the captain: "Okay."
The captain took out a compressed biscuit from his pocket and handed it to her: "Don't worry about the food. I'll give you some of mine."
Qi Ying looked at the cookie for a long time before whispering, "Captain, I've decided to quit the alliance." She smiled, her voice soft and sweet like strawberry candy, "I can't do anything, and staying here will only be a burden to you. I want to go home."
The captain frowned and said, "If you become a normal human again, it will be more difficult to obtain resources. You..."
Qi Ying shook her head: "It doesn't matter, there will always be a way."
She did not take the compressed biscuit. After bowing and saying goodbye to the captain, she walked out without looking back.
In the alliance base, people were coming and going in a hurry, and everyone was living tenaciously and firmly. She first took her ID card to the center to log out of the superpower file. When she was halfway there, the secret weapons depot not far away suddenly exploded, as if it was struck by lightning, and sparks flew and black smoke rose.
Qi Ying looked around for a few seconds and heard the crowd around him talking:
——Is the boss out of control again?
——Of course! This time the scene is even bigger than last time. If this continues, will the boss blow up the entire base one day?
——Alas, he who wears the crown must bear its weight. Possessing a lightning power that is stronger than anyone else's, one must bear the side effects of upgrading too quickly.
——This is really a time bomb. Will the military just let it get out of control?
——I heard that the military has recently issued an order to recruit people from all over the world who can suppress the side effects of the big boss. No matter if it is an ordinary doctor, a scientist, or a supernatural person who can heal water, as long as they can cure the big boss, they can live a life of luxury and do nothing. The military is his biggest umbrella of protection!
——Wow, the benefits are so good? I want to give it a try.
——Go ahead, let’s go together. You can give it a try anyway. What if it works?
As the group of people were talking, they walked towards the military base. Qi Ying had only listened to a few words casually, but when she heard the words "a lifetime of food and clothing", she touched her rumbling stomach and thought that it wouldn't take much time to give it a try, so she followed the group of people and walked over.
In addition to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, there are two other types of super powers, thunder and wind.
The thunder element is the most powerful of all the superpowers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the world destroyer. Qi Ying has heard of the big guy they are talking about. He is the only thunder element superpower in the alliance, and he is also the highest level and most powerful thunder element superpower known to humans.
He is very powerful, but because his superpowers upgrade too quickly and the side effects are too great, there is a 50% chance of losing control every time he uses his superpowers. Because of the influence of thunder, his temper has become more and more violent. Everyone respects and fears him, and they are terrified every time they see him.
When I walked into the base, the water-based psychic was putting out the fire.
However, there was visible lightning clinging to the outside of the building, flashing and exploding, and the entire building was surrounded by lightning.
The military personnel stood around with solemn expressions, and no one dared to step forward.
A man in a white coat was being carried out on a stretcher with his body charred black. Qi Ying heard the military say, "This one has failed too. Don't send anyone in. If he loses control again and kills someone, it will be hard to explain."
After hearing what the military said, those who were eager to try gave up the idea and dared not step forward. Qi Ying pursed her lips, took a step forward, and said, "I'll try."
The military personnel turned around and saw that it was a little girl, and they all frowned.
Qi Ying mustered up the courage to say, "I have water-related abilities, and I want to give it a try."
The man in military uniform answered her: "He has been out of control for half an hour. We don't know the situation inside now. If you go in, your life may be in danger."
Qi Ying nodded: "I know, I still want to give it a try."
The people around looked at each other, and finally that person said: "Be careful, if it doesn't work, get out quickly."
Qi Ying put on his equipment and, under everyone's gaze, approached the building surrounded by lightning step by step.
The crackling and flashing lightning looked scary, but when she really walked in, it didn't fall on her. Perhaps the boss was trying to control it, she listened to the instructions in the headset and walked to the room at the end of the second floor.
Before I got close, I heard a cold and fierce voice coming from inside: "Get out!"
The lightning at the door was particularly severe, almost forming an electric net, flashing dangerous flames.
Qi Ying clenched her fists and moved closer and closer until she reached the door and looked at the man sitting on the floor in the room through the flickering electric net.
He spoke again: "Get out! Don't you understand!"
As he got angry, the lightning became more intense and almost splashed on her. Qi Ying smelled the smell of her hair burning and was terrified, but she still mustered up the courage to say, "Hello, I am a water healer, and I have no ill intentions."
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that the lightning around her seemed to have weakened a little.
She sat down at the door at a safe distance and continued, "Although I'm useless, my superpowers are only level one after all these years, I can't even kill a zombie, and I can only hinder my teammates, but the water I squeeze out is delicious and sweet. Do you want to try it?"
She finished speaking in one breath, nervously waiting for the boss's reaction.
A few seconds later, the electric fence at the door suddenly disappeared.
At the same time, all the thunder and lightning around disappeared. The man in the house stood up from the ground, turned around and looked at her: "Yes."
Qi Ying breathed a sigh of relief and hurried in. Seeing a teapot on the table in front of the window, she took it as a container and began to use her supernatural powers to squeeze water from her fingertips.
But she forgot that she had already used her superpowers when she was on a mission with her teammates today.
Now she tried her best but couldn't squeeze out a drop of water.
After working for a long time, Qi Ying looked up at the stern-looking man awkwardly: "I'm sorry... I can't squeeze it out today, is it okay tomorrow?"
The man stared at her for a while and nodded: "Okay."
Qi Ying heard the exclamation in the headset: "Oh my god, the lightning has all disappeared. Did this little girl succeed?"
Qi Ying: Huh?
I clearly didn't do anything.
She looked at the man in front of her who did seem to have returned to normal, and whispered, "Are you okay?"
The man still looked at her, and after a long while, he said something completely unrelated: "You have a nice voice."
It was the first time that Qi Ying was praised by a stranger. She blushed a little: "...Thank you."
He didn't know what he was thinking of. His eyes narrowed slightly. After a long while, he whispered, "It reminds me of the taste of strawberry candy."
Qi Ying's eyes widened: "Do you like strawberry candy too?"
The man who had always been cold raised the corner of his lip. When he smiled, it was like the sun melting the glacier. "Yeah."
The military personnel quickly rushed up and saw the normal thunder boss in the room. They looked at him in disbelief for a long time, and finally set their sights on Qi Ying.
"How did you do that?!"
Qi Ying was also at a loss: "I... I don't know either, I just said a few words to him..."
Even the water hasn't been squeezed out yet.
The military personnel looked at each other and took Qi Ying to the superpower testing center.
After a day of testing, the conclusion was finally reached. Qi Ying was not only a water-based supernatural being, her voice had actually mutated. When the out-of-control person heard her voice, they would smell their favorite scent, producing a healing effect.
It's just that she was ostracized in the team before, and lived a depressed and inferior life, rarely speaking, and no one noticed it.
All in all, her voice can heal an out-of-control boss.
Qi Ying was almost stunned by this surprise.
The Alliance immediately issued her a new ID card, and she became the only person in the Alliance with special abilities who could get everything without having to do anything but just speak.
The alliance arranged for her to live next door to Ji Rang.
She goes wherever Ji Rang goes. As long as she is there, Ji Rang will never lose control again.
The alliance felt like it had found a treasure.
The waste that was once despised and hated by others suddenly became the second most respected person in the alliance after Ji Rang. When the previous team heard the news, they were so shocked that their eyes almost fell out.
Only the captain was worried that this was a trap. After thinking about it, he decided to go and see if Qi Ying was really living as well as the rumors said.
The team members knew that he was going to visit Qi Ying, and they followed him out of curiosity.
Qi Ying lives on the only green space in the base.
Only the most powerful psychics who have made the greatest contribution to humanity are qualified to live here.
When the team came over with the application, Qi Ying was squatting on the green ground planting a pot of flowers. Flowers are difficult to survive in the climate of the end of the world. This seed was given to her by Ji Rang, asking her to try it with her fingertips.
Seeing her former teammates, she still welcomed them warmly.
Qi Ying, who used to be skinny and hungry, has now gained some weight and looks fair and soft. There is a lot of food in her room, as well as a TV game console that they haven't seen for a long time.
She lived a life they could never even imagine.
Why? Just because of her voice?
Except for the captain who was happy for her, the other team members were jealous.
One of the male team members picked up a stand-alone game console and said with a smile: "Yingying, give this to me. You don't need it anyway."
Another female team member took her MP3 player and said with a fake smile: "Yingying, give this to me."
Before Qi Ying could say anything, a cold voice suddenly came from the door: "Put it down."
Everyone turned around at the same time.
Ji Rang stood at the door with a stern look on his face. A glimmer of fire occasionally flashed in his dark eyes, making him look extremely terrifying.
The two teammates subconsciously put their things down.
He walked in, walked to Qi Ying, pulled her behind him, and raised his chin towards the door: "Get out."
The thunder and lightning in his eyes became more intense.
Everyone guessed his identity and hurried out. The captain looked at them with a complicated expression and walked at the end. Qi Ying called softly, "Captain."
The captain turned around, and Qi Ying trotted over and stuffed the currency she had saved for exchanging resources into his hands: "This is for you."
The captain kept refusing, but she smiled sweetly: "You have helped me so much, now I can finally repay you."
After hearing her say this, the captain finally accepted it.
After everyone left, Qi Ying happily ran back to Ji Rang and asked him softly, "Why are you here?"
Ji Rang lowered his eyes to look at her, took something out of his pocket, then stretched it in front of her and opened his palm.
A strawberry candy.
Her eyes were full of light, and she looked at him in surprise: "Where did it come from?"
He took advantage of the night and secretly went to the shopping mall occupied by zombies. He spent a whole night in the freezer of the warehouse before he found the edible strawberry candy.
Ji Rang curled his lips and smiled: "Someone gave it to me before." He took her hand and put it in hers. Although he didn't like to smile, he was always gentle in front of her, "Eat it."
The strawberry candy that she had not had for many years finally awakened her past that she had almost forgotten.
Such a beautiful and warm past.
The little girl held the candy in her mouth and tears started falling as she ate.
Ji Rang seemed to know what she was thinking. He reached out and hugged her in his arms, patting her little head: "It will be fine in the future. Don't be afraid. I'm here."
She wiped her tears on his chest and nodded heavily.
Ji Rang said again: "I want to drink your water."
Qi Ying quickly got out of his arms: "I'll go find a teacup, wait a moment."
Just as she turned to leave, Ji Rang grabbed her wrist and raised her finger in front of him. Qi Ying heard him say, "Don't bother, I have a more convenient way."
The next moment, he took her finger into his mouth.
Qi Ying's face turned red with shame and her eyes were at a loss as to where to put them.
He acted as if nothing had happened, sucked her fingertips, and asked vaguely in a low voice: "Where's the water?"
The little girl gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and used her supernatural power to squeeze water from her fingertips for him to drink.
From then on, Ji Rang never used a teacup to drink water again.
The thunder boss, who has no side effects and will not get out of control, is like a walking harvester, and the speed at which humans recover lost territory is getting faster and faster.
So the military held a meeting and decided to speed up the battle plan.
Ji Rang, who had been sitting in a corner of the room and had never participated in discussions, suddenly spoke up: "If I want to increase the frequency of using my supernatural powers, Qi Ying's voice alone may not be enough to suppress my loss of control."
Everyone looked at him nervously: "What should we do? Is there any other solution?"
Ji Rang looked up and said calmly, "Marriage can solve the problem."
Everyone: “???”
We suspect that you are using your power for personal gain.
Later, a grand wedding was held in the alliance.
Until she was lying on the same bed with Ji Rang at night, with him pressing on her, Qi Ying still felt that all this was like a dream.
How did she suddenly rise to the top from the most humble ant in the apocalypse to the woman of a big boss?
Hearing that the little girl under him was still distracted and asking such a question, Ji Rang patiently raised his head from her shoulder and asked in a low voice: "Then do you like me?"
The little girl hummed shyly: "...I like it."
"Want to marry me?"
“…I do.”
Ji Rang bit her lip: "That's enough! Why are you thinking about so many insignificant things? Just focus on me!"
When he gets emotional, he tends to lose control.
Qi Ying saw the lightning in his eyes again.
Ji Rang also noticed it and said in a hoarse voice, "Talk to me."
The little girl was almost crying, afraid that he would kill her if she wasn't paying attention: "What are you talking about?"
“…Call my name.”
Her voice was trembling as she shouted intermittently: "...Ji...Ji Rang..."
The more she shouted, the more excited he became.
Finally, he couldn't control himself anymore, so he flicked his finger to the side and a bolt of lightning struck the window.
In the end, the entire room was riddled with holes.
All night long, everyone in the base trembled as they listened to the explosions of thunder and lightning.
What about the promised marriage?
Why is it getting out of control?
