Chapter 327: The Favorite of the End Times (7)
A group of people got on the bus.
The car was full of people with special abilities heading to the county town, and the driver was an ordinary person who had accepted a mission from the base. Qiao Xi took small nibbles of a piece of toast, but it was a little too dry, so she didn't want to eat it so quickly.
She sat by the window.
Looking out the window at the desolate scene, Mi Xuecha sat beside her with her arms folded across her chest and her eyes closed, with no intention of talking to her.
Dongfang Xian and Ling Lin were behind them.
Dongfang Xian put his hands on the back of Qiao Xi's chair, leaned back and talked to her with a playful smile.
"School girl, can you give me a piece of toast too?"
Qiao Xi raised her eyes upon hearing this: "Okay."
She obediently handed over the toast in her hand and waited for Dongfang Xian to take it himself. Ling Lin, who was standing next to him, glanced at his brother and took out a piece when Dongfang Xian was about to reach out to take it.
Dongfang Xian: ???
Looked over with confusion.
Ling Lin added indifferently, "I'll eat too. Let's finish this bag quickly. We need to get back to work later."
Dongfang Xian was speechless and choked. "You want to eat too? Can't you just ask? You have to wait for me to ask before taking it. How rude of you."
But it does need to be resolved as soon as possible.
Fighting zombies later meant there was no time to eat, so Dongfang Xian took out his toast and joined in. Seeing that they had all taken theirs, Qiao Xi put the toast back on her lap and continued to gnaw on her slice.
It didn't take long to eat.
The bus shook and the driver suddenly braked to a stop. "There are zombies ahead!"
The originally noisy carriage suddenly became boiling.
"Brothers, there's work to do. Get to work!" Someone shouted in a rough voice.
As soon as the bus door opened, a group of people rushed out.
From all directions, dark masses of zombies gradually gathered following the scent. From a distance, they looked like a black wall slowly approaching, giving a very oppressive feeling.
but.
The psychics were not at all concerned about these slow-moving zombies.
The teams quickly coordinated with each other, throwing out abilities of different colors, which mixed together and triggered more ability reactions of different attributes, causing large-scale terrifying group damage.
When Qiao Xi followed behind.
The zombies around had fallen to the ground one layer at a time. Although there were still dense crowds of them gathering, there was a bus full of psychics here and they were not afraid at all.
"Here."
As soon as Mi Xuecha got out of the car, she threw the long knife in her hand to Qiao Xi.
"What's this, senior sister?" She looked over in confusion. This knife was Michelle Mi's favorite to use in close combat. She could chop zombies with it very skillfully.
"Use it for self-defense. Don't cause any more trouble with your mediocre skills."
Mi Xuecha was not polite at all. The special ability teams that could receive the mission here all had good accuracy. They couldn't hit the zombie heads with 100% accuracy, but at least they had an accuracy rate of 70 to 80 percent.
After all, everyone has fought their way here and trained themselves, and those who have just awakened their superpowers are still practicing by driving piles in the base.
Someone like Qiao Xi who only has an accuracy rate of 20%.
If it wasn't about gathering numbers to form a team, Michelle Cha also wanted the other party to sign up for the supernatural beginner training course at the base.
"Okay, thank you, Senior."
Qiao Xi took the knife without any pretense. If any fish that had escaped the net got close to her, she could swing it and chop it. This was probably what Mi Xuecha meant.
Dongfang Xian and Michelle Yim work together.
Ling Lin's special sand-type ability can play the greatest role in such a suburb. With the bus as the center, the nearby ground is gradually replaced by quicksand.
There are too many zombies coming to the nearby area.
Both legs would sink into the quicksand and stop moving forward, which guaranteed absolute safety. This unexpected change also made the other psychics who were fighting couldn't help but look sideways at Ling Lin.
Most of the psychic teams are familiar with each other.
Now they saw Ling Lin, as well as Mi Xuecha and Dongfang Xian who worked in perfect harmony with each other, and Qiao Xi who was holding a long sword and occasionally using his supernatural power to strike back from behind to pick up any fish that had escaped the net.
These people are all unfamiliar faces.
Is this a newly registered team that just received the mission?
They didn't realize they had already attracted attention, and many psychics were keeping an eye on their team while fighting. This was especially true when they saw Michelle use her ice ability.
All the psychics present were shocked.
Extremely rare dual-system ability!
And they were both at level 4. It was already very difficult for them to level up their single-element abilities, so how many zombies would they have to kill to reach level 4 in both? It was terrifying!
Many people focus on Michelle Tea.
With their dual abilities and that special sand ability, if this team develops, they'll be incredibly powerful. Furthermore, these people are still so young, their future is limitless.
The special powers team definitely has their share.
And the girl with dual abilities is definitely going to be selected.
Mi Xuecha, unaware that someone was watching her, was slaying zombies with gusto. When combined with Dongfang Xian's fire ability, her wind-based abilities surged in power. Her ice-based abilities could even be melted into water-based abilities.
She can use all the variations with ease.
Qiao Xi was just slacking off in the back, throwing a few fireballs out from time to time, and then watching the heroine shine in the front.
The dark swarm of zombies gradually decreased.
After the cleanup was complete, leaving only piles of headless zombies lying on the ground, the group re-boarded the bus, but this time, many eager eyes were fixed on Michelle Cha.
"Where is the eldest sister from?"
"This sister's abilities are amazing! Her strength is incredible!"
Many rough men started talking to Michelle Yim, and some older women who looked more friendly also smiled and echoed a few words.
It’s not easy for everyone in the last days.
Like this, we can keep each other warm and joke with each other, and live a peaceful life, which is also very warm.
Michelle Yim was stunned.
She hadn't expected to attract so much attention, but these people were so kind, unlike the selfish people she'd met before coming here. So she answered all their questions and conversations.
Qiao Xi was still next to Mi Xuecha.
The little girl was still well-behaved, holding her slightly deflated bag of toast, sitting there quietly, as if she couldn't hear the noisy voices.
She nibbled on the toast silently.
Dongfang Xian, who was behind her, kept pestering her and chatting with her. Qiao Xi would occasionally agree with him and give him perfunctory compliments.
The atmosphere inside the bus also became lively.
After fighting side by side just now, everyone had something to discuss. They chatted about superpowers and zombies. The boring journey gradually became interesting.
After arriving at the small county town, everyone got off the bus one after another and said goodbye.
Qiao Xi also followed Dongfang Xian and the others to the area of the base that needed to be cleared of zombies. This area used to be a zoo, and most of the zombies were infected and mutated. Their movement speed had increased significantly, making it very dangerous.
Originally, this task was not theirs.
It should be handled by trained professional psychics.
only……
A golden light flashed at Qiao Xi's fingertips, and a translucent gilded light shield emerged, covering all four of them.
Dongfang Xian reached out and touched it, and couldn't help but praise: "Although the school girl is not very good, she is a good support."
A gold-based ability that is said to have extremely strong attack power.
She used it as a protective shield, and any zombies that came into contact with it would be repelled away.
The people at the base were originally worried about them coming.
But after Qiao Xi demonstrated this ability, no matter what level of the psychic, anyone who touched this translucent protective shield would be bounced away.
That's strange.
The base commander, who had the highest level of supernatural power at level five, tried it himself and was stunned when he was bounced away.
Plus Mi Xuecha’s dual superpowers at level four.
Except for Qiao Xi who was at level 2, the others were all at level 3. Their overall strength was very strong, so this task was given to them.
Whenever a zombie animal approaches.
Some of them were solved by Mi Xuecha's ice ability before they even touched Qiao Xi's protective shield. Dongfang Xian and Ling Lin were not idle either. They had already cooperated well, and now with Qiao Xi there, it was like they were being assisted by God.
They acted without hesitation.
In just over ten minutes, we finished touring this simple little zoo and cleared out all the zombie animals.
"We're going to meet up with another team."
Mi Xuecha glanced at the time. Before coming here, they had also accepted a mission to clear the zombies in a designated area. However, because their team was too small, they would cooperate with other teams.
"Then find a car to go there." Ling Lin said.
"I see there are a lot of shared cars at the door. You can scan one and go in." Dongfang Xian followed up.
Qiao Xi: ???
Can shared cars still be used?
"This is a good idea." Ling Lin nodded slightly, agreeing with the suggestion.
There was a row of shared bikes parked in front of the zoo, almost all fully charged. But because no one cleaned them, they were covered in a thin layer of dust.
The lock can be unlocked and used normally after connecting to the Internet.
Several people rode shared bikes to the designated area, and another team that had also taken on the same task was already there.
The leader was a man with a crew cut and wearing a long black coat.
His sturdy, sturdy frame was clad in a black suit that allowed for easy movement, topped off with a long, stand-up-collared trench coat. His long legs and towering stature gave him a commanding presence. His aura was capable and fierce, and at first glance, he was a tough character who was not to be trifled with.
Qiao Xi detected a faint smell of rotten blood from him.
It is estimated that the other party has dealt with some of the zombies here. There are only four people in the team including him, just like them.
There was a mature and charming woman wearing short high heels.
The woman's lips, thickly painted with lipstick, were tinged with a smile. When she saw Dongfang Xian and his group, she narrowed her crescent-shaped eyes and smiled.
"Brother Ze, they are really young. They are all brothers and sisters, so you should be more considerate of them."
The average age of their group is in their twenties.
They are considered young among ordinary people with special abilities, but I never thought there are even younger ones. These children are probably just adults.
"Talkative."
Xiangze glanced at her coldly, and Hua Yingying immediately became depressed and kept silent.
When the two men next to her saw that the beauty was unhappy, they immediately came over to her and tried to please her.
Aizawa walked straight over here.
His sharp gaze swept over Dongfang Xian and the others one by one, "I'll leave the zombies in Area B to you. Can you take responsibility?"
Michelle Yim immediately stepped forward and agreed: "Okay."
Aizawa's gaze lingered on her for a brief moment, and then the man nodded slightly without saying anything more. He led his team to another area.
This designated area is divided into two small areas AB.
Area B is mostly main roads close to the city center, while Area A is a residential area. In addition, the zombie virus outbreak occurred at night, and most people were asleep.
Therefore, there are more zombies in area A.
This mission is not difficult. The zombies move slowly, and even though they have a strong bite force, as long as you are not touched, you will be fine.
Qiao Xi followed them to Area B. Ling Lin would sometimes take the time to give her some guidance, and Dongfang Xian naturally went without saying.
She also showed signs of gradual improvement.
Playing a rookie is also a test.
Mi Xuecha was in a killing spree, her blade moving swiftly and accurately, using her ice and wind powers alternately. When Wen Renyuan was away, she was so powerful that she seemed to be able to do anything.
The sour smell of decay grew as more zombies fell.
It's also becoming more and more intense.
The group moved even faster to clean up. Dongfang Xian set fire to the accumulated zombies. The crackling flames illuminated his profile, casting a faint glow on his bold red hair.
His back seemed to be shrouded in a sea of fire.
The burning and jumping flames seemed to accumulate and settle in his eyes, appearing even deeper.
And when they finished dealing with it, they were ready to retreat.
I was also planning to go back and reunite with Aizawa and the others.
However, the thick fog that came from nowhere gradually spread from all around. When everyone inhaled the thick fog without noticing, Michelle Mi suddenly felt a strong sense of dizziness.
My drowsy mind couldn't resist the intense tiredness.
Her body swayed, and she fell to the ground the next second. Dongfang Xian and Ling Lin also had the same symptoms.
Several people fell to the ground without warning.
Only Qiao Xi was still awake. She looked at her companion who had fallen asleep beside her.
Qiao Xi: ???
Carefully examining the thick fog, she discovered that it seemed to contain hallucinogenic elements. The medium it was composed of was very similar to the composition of psychic abilities. It could induce hallucinations and coma, but it had no effect on ordinary people.
Qiao Xi was speechless for a moment.
This is probably a blessing in disguise?
She squatted down near Michelle Tea and used her mental power to slowly penetrate an inconspicuous white flower next to the girl. As soon as her mental power moved, she felt a thick barrier.
The thick fog was released by this little flower.
It seems to be released at a fixed time, and this mutated flower has not developed any self-awareness.
Passing through the mental barrier and entering the illusion, the scenery suddenly becomes clear.
Qiao Xi still had conscious control over her body, and the spiritual energy she had channeled into it slowly condensed into her own image within the illusion. Looking around, this wasn't the scene she'd imagined.
There is even a school sign next to it.
It says on it, Saint Sakura Nolansia Royal Noble Academy.
Isn't this the school that Michelle and the others were in before? It's also the school where she was previously assigned to this identity.
But at this moment, the academy was quiet.
There were no students around, and time seemed to have stood still. Qiao Xi walked in, following the scent as she groped her way up the teaching building, heading towards the rooftop.
Everyone knows.
The F3 in campus dramas all have a territory, basically on the rooftop, and she can now sense the presence of Dongfang Xian and Ling Lin.
“Click—”
Turning the doorknob, a cool breeze quickly swept in, bringing with it the warmth of early summer. Being in this dreamland felt almost like reality.
Dongfang Xian was leaning lazily against the railing.
Ling Lin was sitting on the roof, reading a book intently under the blue sky and white clouds.
