Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 121

Chapter 121

Li Xin jumped up, his voice shooting up an octave. “Holy crap! A Plant-type Supernatural Ability? You actually awakened a Plant-type Supernatural Ability?!”

Hao Jingye’s expression was just as complicated.

A Plant-type Supernatural Ability was special-good in a fight, good for support, and it could even help with producing basic rations. Most importantly: what Jiang Yu’s Space Ability lacked the most was exactly a Plant-type Supernatural Ability.

It was just a pity that, up until today, there hadn’t been any Plant Ability Users who awakened early. They’d been waiting the whole time.

No one could’ve imagined that the first Plant Ability Users they’d finally get would be Jiang Yu herself.

Honestly, it suited her Space Ability perfectly.

And it meant they didn’t need to worry about letting someone with ulterior motives enter the Space Ability.

Jiang Yu beamed, happiness practically bubbling out of her.

She’d never expected she could awaken a Supernatural Ability at all. Getting a surprise like this out of nowhere was just too good!

All the hard work she’d put into learning to farm lately hadn’t been for nothing.

Was this a reward from Heaven for her earnest, diligent planting?

If she weren’t still burning with a fever, Jiang Yu would’ve jumped up and bounced around a couple times. If not for how badly she wanted to show off, she probably wouldn’t even be able to stay conscious right now.

Just looking at her face made it obvious-like the other Superpower Users during an awakening, she was practically cooked by the fever, teetering on the edge of delirium.

Sheng An suddenly smiled, giving her a sideways look. “Xiao Yu, what was that secret you said you wanted to tell me yesterday?”

Jiang Yu went rigid.

A moment later, her expression twisted into a knot of hesitation and inner conflict.

Before she awakened this Supernatural Ability, she’d already decided she would tell Sheng An and the others, and report the final secret of the Space Ability to the state.

After all, the Space Ability needed a Plant-type Supernatural Ability to reach its full potential. There was no way she could hide it forever. That would be letting down the country-and letting down Sister Sheng, who trusted her…

But now, she had awakened a Plant-type Supernatural Ability herself!

If she just worked harder, and followed the experts’ guidance to manage the Space Ability properly, maybe she wouldn’t have to expose her trump card.

Having her Golden Finger stolen in her previous life had left a scar, no matter what.

Jiang Yu clenched her fists, smiling awkwardly. “Nothing… I forgot what I was going to say. Hahaha.”

She laughed like someone with a guilty conscience.

She might as well have written her thoughts on her face-almost everyone there could tell.

Jiang Yu swore to herself.

She would definitely use the Space Ability well. She’d follow the experts’ instructions and make the Space Ability into a land of hope. She would never betray Sister Sheng and the others.

But this Golden Finger…

Maybe she wouldn’t mention it yet.

Sheng An narrowed her eyes slightly, then smiled. “It’s fine. If you forgot, you forgot. You’re awakening a Supernatural Ability right now-get some rest. Stay in the safe house, within Qi Dui’s coverage. Don’t run around.”

Jiang Yu felt even more guilty.

She clenched her teeth, thinking maybe she should just say it outright, but she hesitated again, torn to the core.

And with that hesitation-plus the critical stage of awakening-she blacked out and collapsed.

Sheng An had someone carry her back.

Hao Jingye frowned. “Should we guide her a little and get her to say it?”

“For something like that, it’s better if it’s voluntary.” Sheng An smiled, her eyes narrowing faintly. “Let her be. She could be a farm owner, yet she insists on being a little field-hand who does all the planting herself. What, are you going to stop her?”

She could’ve just guarded the door, but she had to go out and sweat for it.

Who was going to stop her?

Did she really think awakening a Plant-type Supernatural Ability meant life would be easy?

No. Reality would teach her how things worked.

Hao Jingye felt a chill run down his spine and silently lit a candle for Jiang Yu’s “stubbornness.”

Li Wanyun, Long Tianyu, Wu Buyu, and the others all wore that look people got when they were watching a show. Jiang Yu was the type to wear everything on her face, that sweet-and-simple air-especially when she was fever-dazed. It couldn’t have been more obvious.

Only she still firmly believed it was a secret…

In truth, they had all figured it out.

Li Xin scratched his head, completely lost. “What do you mean? Why does she have to do it voluntarily? Don’t tell me she’s hiding some other secret?”

Hao Jingye: “…”

-Oh. Besides a Young Phoenix, there’s a Crouching Dragon here too.

Sheng An headed outside. “Let’s go. Time to handle real business. Hao Jingye, stay and hold the fort. Everyone else, with me.”

Hao Jingye’s emotions were a mess, his voice low.

“All of you have awakened a Supernatural Ability, but I still haven’t had any movement at all.”

Even Jiang Yu-who hadn’t had any Supernatural Ability in her previous life-had awakened one. So why was there still nothing for him?

Hao Jingye touched his head.

Perfect. 36.5. Not even one degree higher.
Long Tianyu stretched his neck and let out a long sigh. “Awakening isn’t necessarily all good. Look at us-we haven’t even recovered yet, and we’re already being sent out on another mission…”

Hao Jingye was still feeling bitter and wasn’t comforted in the least.

Wu Buyu patted him on the shoulder. “Awakening doesn’t just happen today. Just wait a little longer.”

This made sense, so Hao Jingye sighed.

That was all he could do.

As they were exiting the underground passage, they happened to run into Qiu Yu returning. She was leading the members of Group A downstairs, while Sheng An was leading Group B upstairs.

Both sides felt a bit awkward.

Greeting each other warmly felt off; after all, they were two different teams with a certain level of competition between them.

But ignoring each other felt wrong too; they had just fought side-by-side, trusting each other with their lives. They were true comrades-in-arms.

Thus, both parties paused for a brief moment.

Li Xin broke the silence: “Sister Jiang Ling, your hair hasn’t gone back to normal yet?”

Hearing this, Jiang Ling subconsciously touched her hair.

The exhaustion of one’s Supernatural Ability manifested in many ways.

For instance, Jiang Ling had been given a high-temperature “perm” by the heat. Since her Supernatural Ability hadn’t recovered, she couldn’t “straighten” her hair yet. Right now, it looked frizzy and blown out, like it had exploded.

Li Xin added, “It looks like a bird’s nest.”

Jiang Ling: “…”

The rest of Group B: “…”

-Well, so much for worrying about how to greet them. There wasn’t going to be any harmony here.

Jiang Ling gritted her teeth. “Little brother, are you looking for a beating?”

Li Xin wanted to say more, but Sheng An spoke up calmly, “Are you all heading back to rest?”

“Yes,” Qiu Yu replied expressionlessly.

Groups A and B had been assigned different tasks. While Sheng An was unconscious, the higher-ups had tasked Qiu Yu with handling the newly awakening Superpower Users.

They had to help them awaken their Supernatural Abilities smoothly, prevent them from accidentally hurting others, and suppress those who tried to cause trouble after suddenly awakening Supernatural Abilities.

Now that Sheng An was awake, her job was the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department’s other priority-leading her team to handle trouble in the various shelters across Jing City.

After her brief reply, Qiu Yu said nothing more and prepared to lead her team past them.

Sheng An tilted her head. “Team Leader Qiu, lend us the Ice Ability Superpower User, Xiang Hanshuang, for this mission.”

Everyone froze.

Xiang Hanshuang looked at her, frowning slightly.

What was the meaning of this?

Sheng An continued, “Ms. Xiang’s Supernatural Ability is very strong. There are fires everywhere outside, so she’s better suited for our mission. She can be of the most use there.”

The tasks within the shelters weren’t difficult, and with multiple fires raging outside, it indeed made sense for Xiang Hanshuang to go with them.

Qiu Yu simply replied, “It’s up to her.”

Sheng An shifted her gaze to Xiang Hanshuang and offered a friendly smile. “Ms. Xiang, your Supernatural Ability is very important to us. Can you be temporarily reassigned to accompany us on this mission?”

She showed Xiang Hanshuang a great deal of respect.

To be honest, when she first heard the request, Xiang Hanshuang’s instinct was to refuse.

She hadn’t forgotten how firmly she had rejected Sheng An to choose Qiu Yu; the relationship between the two sides could hardly be called friendly.

But-

Sheng An’s attitude was simply too good. Moreover, she hadn’t just praised her for being strong; she had called her Supernatural Ability “important.”

Recognition from a powerful person always made one’s blood boil with excitement.

Xiang Hanshuang’s expression remained calm and composed, but she unconsciously lifted her chin and straightened her posture.

She gave a faint nod. “I can do that.”

Seeing her agree, Sheng An smiled with satisfaction and took her arm. “Hanshuang truly is noble-minded. Come, let’s head out together right now.”

Xiang Hanshuang’s expression didn’t change, but her chin tilted even higher, a hint of pride showing through.

Li Wanyun and the others wore strange expressions.

After the group left the Core Shelter, they got straight into a vehicle.

Jing City hadn’t been hit by the massive meteor. Although small meteorites were still falling from the sky, the military had cleared several roads in the city, making them passable for vehicles.

Since there were many of them, they needed transport.

The meteors had directly damaged the ozone layer. Combined with the global fires and the high temperatures from the impacts, the heat outside was still soaring. They were drenched in sweat the moment they stepped out.

Sheng An pulled Xiang Hanshuang to sit beside her, treating her with great importance.

Xiang Hanshuang felt a bit lightheaded from the attention and said coolly, “My Supernatural Ability is exhausted. I can’t use any powerful supernatural abilities right now. If you need me to act, I’ll need time to recover.”

Sheng An gave a brilliant smile. “No, no, no. There’s no need for powerful supernatural abilities. Just a little bit will do.”
