Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 114

Chapter 114

This was highly abnormal.

Recurring fevers were very much like failed attempts at a first, second, or even third Supernatural Ability awakening.

Possessing a Supernatural Ability in the Apocalypse wasn’t just about becoming stronger; it was also crucial for many other things. This was especially true for Sheng An, as the Former Special Affairs Bureau had analyzed her Supernatural Ability-it could help them further deduce the truth.

What if something went wrong during her awakening?

It wasn’t that she was desperate for a power, but if something she was supposed to have simply… vanished, the implications behind it were truly terrifying to contemplate.

Qi Lingwu felt a jolt in his chest.

He tightened his grip on her hand and pressed his lips together. “Nothing will happen to you. There are many different circumstances surrounding the awakening of a Supernatural Ability. Long Tianyu and Li Wanyun might not know every special case.”

Sheng An gave a soft laugh and shook her head. “The more unusual it is, the more information we can potentially gather to help us unlock all the secrets. I’m curious to see just how unusual it can get.”

She had always been this way.

No matter how thorny a matter seemed, she could always find a silver lining and remain full of fighting spirit.

Qi Lingwu’s throat felt increasingly dry.

Being special wasn’t necessarily a good thing. Often, the more special one was, the more they had to endure and encounter.

He didn’t dare think too deeply about everything Sheng An had suffered behind that Prophecy.

Sheng An looked at him, her usually calm face showing a rare trace of bewilderment and trepidation.

“Qi Dui, will you always fight by my side?”

“I will,” Qi Lingwu replied.

His voice held no hesitation, and his gaze was focused and firm.

Sheng An smiled.

Qi Lingwu pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head until their foreheads touched, feeling the slight heat of her fever as his breath trembled.

“But you must stay alive.”

He would do everything in his power to survive and fight by her side. Just like many times in the past, they would watch each other’s backs and march toward victory.

But if something happened to him, he wanted her to live on.

In the Prophecy, she was desperate and lonely, but she was still alive.

As long as one lived, everything was still possible.

Sheng An closed her eyes.

-The gun was destroyed. She would write the ending herself!

Behind them, the sound of soft sobbing broke the silence.

Qi Lingwu slowly released Sheng An.

She turned around helplessly, looking somewhat speechless. “When you guys are eavesdropping, could you at least stay quiet?”

These people… She and Qi Lingwu had deliberately ignored them every time they eavesdropped, yet they insisted on making noise to announce their presence.

As soon as she spoke, a row of “radishes” naturally popped up from behind the eaves.

Once is an accident, twice is a habit. After crawling out, they sat down beside the two of them, each wearing a complex expression.

Jiang Yu was weeping softly, sniffling, “We… *sniff*… we didn’t… *sniff*… mean to interrupt your tender moment. We’re just… *sniff*… a bit nervous.”

Those who hadn’t experienced the end of the world were nervous.

Those who had were even more nervous.

Li Wanyun tugged at Jiang Yu’s hair and glared at her. “What are you crying for? Sister Sheng’s recurring fever is just her awakening her Supernatural Ability, and Qi Dui is perfectly fine. Don’t let your mind wander!”

Jiang Yu wasn’t crying because of nerves; she was crying for Sheng An and Qi Lingwu.

Jiang Yu wiped away her tears and nodded heavily.

Li Xin blinked and took a deep breath, intentionally speaking in a gruff voice, “Seriously, who dates like you two? Such a nice, tender moment on such a quiet night-just kiss already!”

Long Tianyu expressionlessly pushed Li Xin’s head down, his tone devoid of emotion. “You’re a minor, so just shut up.”

Zhuang Fan: “Mm.”

Wu Buyu: “He says you two are a great match and very powerful. You’ll definitely be top-tier powerhouses in the Apocalypse-a true power couple. There are still three hours of rest time left; you could totally go back to your room for some privacy. He’s wondering if three hours is enough? But it’s hard to say, after all-”

Zhuang Fan covered Wu Buyu’s mouth, his face blank.

Whatever Zhuang Fan said in his head made Wu Buyu shrink back and shut his mouth.
Jiang Yu broke into a smile through her tears.

Immediately after, she couldn’t help but sigh. “It’s so good that you all might get a Supernatural Ability.”

Hao Jingye: “Hmm?”

Song Linwei: “Hmm?”

Jiang Yu: “…”

She silently corrected herself: “I mean, you all might get a Supernatural Ability, but I definitely won’t.”

She felt a bit dejected.

“Do you really want a Supernatural Ability that badly?” Ji Yani looked at her.

Jiang Yu nodded emphatically.

She let out a long sigh. “Without a Supernatural Ability, I won’t be able to fight alongside you. I’ll just be stuck inside a safe base.”

In the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department’s plans for tomorrow, everyone had an assignment.

Except for her. Not only was she placed in the safest location, but she was also told to hide inside her Space Ability as much as possible and only come out once the Meteor Shower ended.

In the future, how could she stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them in battle?

“It’s different.” Sheng An patted her head soothingly. “Your Space Ability is of immense significance. By protecting yourself and your Space Ability, you are fighting alongside us.”

They clearly suspected that her Space Ability could hold people, yet they hadn’t made any arrangements for others to take refuge inside.

This was to ensure that no one would turn into an Aberrant and harm her.

Jiang Yu’s Space Ability was too important.

Hearing this, Jiang Yu paused for a moment.

Then, she gritted her teeth. “Sister Sheng, after tomorrow, I have a secret to tell you…”

Sheng An chuckled and nodded slowly. “Alright.”

Ke Jiaxue asked curiously, “Xiao Yu, if you could have a Supernatural Ability, what would you want?”

Jiang Yu blinked.

She shook her head blankly. “I don’t know. If I really could have one, anything would be fine.”

She looked at Sheng An. “What about you, Sister Sheng?”

Sheng An had been running a fever on and off, but her Supernatural Ability had yet to manifest.

Hearing the question, Sheng An looked up at the sky and smiled faintly. “The moon, I suppose.”

“Huh?” Everyone was stunned.

Sheng An continued to gaze at the night sky. The heavens were exceptionally dark, tinged with an unsettling, faint glow. The bright moonlight of that one night would never be seen again.

After tomorrow, the world would never be the same.

Sheng An stood up and pulled Qi Lingwu away with her.

“Sister Sheng?” The group was stunned once more.

Sheng An replied, “We’re going somewhere quiet to be a couple. Don’t be third wheels.”

Everyone: “…” Wow.

“With such a major event looming, why are you still thinking about romance?” Long Tianyu ground his teeth and tried to stand up.

Li Xin on his left and Gu Qiansheng on his right grabbed him firmly.

Gu Qiansheng said, “Don’t go causing trouble. Stay here and chat with us.”

Li Xin added, “Yeah, Brother Long, let’s look at the moon together.”

Long Tianyu: “…”

Idiots. There is no moon tonight, and there never will be again.

Doomsday countdown: 0 days.

The first air raid siren wailed, signaling that the meteors would arrive in two hours.

The second air raid siren wailed, signaling that the meteors would arrive in one hour.

At this moment.

Sheng An stood in the monitoring room, dressed in her military uniform.

Experts in white coats sat before rows of instruments, aggregating endless streams of data.

Beside Sheng An stood the Chief Base Commander, and on her other side were several experts of various ethnicities. At this moment, no one spoke; they all stared at the massive screen in front of them.

The monitored Meteor Shower was hurtling toward the planet.

As one feed went dark, it was immediately switched to another. In adjacent rooms, countless other experts were aggregating massive amounts of information in real-time, performing precise calculations.

Simultaneously, orders were being dispatched from the Central Command monitoring area.

“B23 Shelter, evacuate immediately!”

“B23 Shelter, relocate to B45 immediately!”

…

The third siren wailed, signaling that only thirty minutes remained until the meteors descended.

The Chief Base Commander called out, “Sheng An.”

Sheng An turned calmly, raised her hand in a salute, and then strode out of the room.
