Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 142

Chapter 142

Gu Qiansheng: “…”

He smacked Li Xin on the back of the head. “Stop acting cool and get to work. There are still plenty of hidden Aberrants outside. Team 0 has gone to provide support, so the Planting Research Institute is counting on the two of us.”

Li Xin’s proudly raised head was knocked down. He let out a long, dejected sigh. “Oh.”

Just then, someone strode in from outside.

Gu Qiansheng and Li Xin immediately looked over.

Zhao Zhicheng from Team 0 was carrying a rifle. When he saw them, a genuine smile broke out on his serious face. “The rampaging Aberrants have been cleared out. We’ve re-established contact with Sister Sheng and Qi Dui. The crisis in Shi City has been resolved.”

This was truly wonderful news!

With the Shi City crisis resolved, the trouble at the Core Shelter had also been handled.

Jiang Yu stepped out of the space within her Space Ability and pressed, “Did they find Zhang Kun and the others?”

Gu Qiansheng and Li Xin also looked at Zhao Zhicheng, their expressions uneasy.

It had been several hours since contact was lost…

Was the Scientific Research Team still alive?

*

Were they still alive?

Sheng An and the others were also very concerned about this question.

After the Illusion Aberrant died, the people who had been trapped in the Illusion Realm were exposed. The Illusion Aberrant had been continuously shrinking the range of the Illusion Realm, so they were all currently within a few hundred meters of each other.

Despite being only a few hundred meters away, they hadn’t been able to find one another!

Once the Illusion Realm collapsed, everyone’s first instinct was to search for the Scientific Research Team.

Song Linwei sat up from the ground.

He had an ominous feeling. It had been several hours, and they had already witnessed the Illusion Realm’s methods. With only Liu Yue and Ke Jiaxue there, they couldn’t possibly protect the Scientific Research Team.

In all likelihood… the Scientific Research Team had been wiped out.

However-

His gaze shifted to a spot diagonally behind him. There stood Zhang Kun, Ke Jiaxue, Liu Yue, Captain Zhuo, Dr. Zhao, several other researchers, and a few escorting soldiers.

They were still alive!

Over a dozen Aberrants surrounded them.

But Zhang Kun was desperately maintaining a Space Barrier, cutting everything off from the outside. He held a coin-sized piece of Fragments in his hand; his face was deathly pale, and he looked like he might collapse at any moment.

Liu Yue and Ke Jiaxue stood in front of him on either side, covered in wounds and soaked in blood. They remained standing through sheer force of will.

One could only imagine what they had endured.

Out of such a large Scientific Research Team, only these few people remained.

In the end, when they were driven into a corner, Liu Yue and Ke Jiaxue had fought bloody battles at the front, resisting tenaciously. Captain Zhuo and the others had done the same, using their own bodies to protect Zhang Kun and the researchers.

Just as they were about to reach their limit, Zhang Kun’s Supernatural Ability advanced-or rather, it evolved.

His Space Ability had developed a protective Space Barrier that isolated everything outside, saving the lives of their group and allowing them to hold out until Sheng An arrived with the rest of the team to rescue them.

Ke Jiaxue’s bloodshot eyes fixed on them as she murmured, “Sister Sheng.”

Then, she sank to one knee.

Liu Yue had smiled the moment he saw them, finally letting himself collapse in relief.

This was all before Zhang Kun’s evolution.

He had actually prepared himself to die here.

Before the apocalypse, Liu Yue had been just an ordinary person-as ordinary as one could be. He wasn’t a bad person, but he wasn’t some saintly hero who would sacrifice himself for others, either. He had only wanted his parents to live a good life.

Unfortunately, he had never quite succeeded.

Later, he suddenly awakened a Supernatural Ability and was recruited by the state to join the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department.

His days in the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department were undoubtedly happy ones; the teammates bickered and played around, but they also stood shoulder to shoulder.

On the line between life and death, no one would retreat. Because if anyone took a step back, the ones who died might not just be themselves, but also their teammates and the entire Nation behind them.
His parents were also citizens of this Nation.

They were protecting the Nation, and they were also protecting their own parents.

From the initial National Announcement Briefing to the series of notifications that followed, a common man like him had actually appeared on national television. The Nation called them “Sparks” and “Heroes.”

The Nation had even arranged excellent jobs for his parents. In these current times, his parents lived well under the Nation’s protection, walking with a newfound spring in their step.

They would proudly point at the television and boast to their old friends-

“Liu Yue, that’s my son!”

His parents had worked hard for most of their lives, and the look of pride on their faces always moved Liu Yue.

The Nation valued them immensely and gave them and their families ample glory. It wasn’t a joke-his family was close to starting a brand-new page at the very front of their genealogy book just for him!

Because of this recognition, Liu Yue realized for the first time-

He was willing to give everything for this Nation.

Therefore, he was prepared to die here. He knew the Nation would treat his parents well.

But now, his captain and teammates had arrived.

It was good to be alive.

Zhang Kun also broke into a smile, finally feeling safe enough to deactivate the Supernatural Ability he could no longer sustain.

As for the dozen or so Aberrants surrounding him?

They didn’t matter.

His teammates were here.

Li Wanyun and Long Tianyu had been fighting tooth and nail when they broke free from the Illusion Realm. Sensing the change in their surroundings, the two of them froze in place, still holding their offensive stances.

So, the guy opposite them really was real?

The person they had just been cursing at and fighting with wasn’t an illusion, but a real person…

By the end of the fight, their tempers had flared so much that it no longer mattered if the opponent was real. They only had one thought in their minds-

Kill them!

But that was just a moment ago, inside the Illusion Realm, where their instincts told them the other person wasn’t real.

Now that they were out of the Illusion Realm…

While still dissatisfied with each other, they were also irritated by their own recent impulsiveness.

The two glared fiercely at one another before turning simultaneously to pounce on the dozen Aberrants surrounding Zhang Kun and the others, venting their frustration.

Aberrants at the beginning of the Apocalypse were not strong.

Without the enhancement of the Illusion Realm, they were no match for the two of them.

Driven by rage, Long Tianyu and Li Wanyun cut through them like vegetables, quickly dealing with the dozen or so enemies.

Then, they glanced at each other and snorted in unison.

Sheng An did not hesitate, raising her hand to signal the aircraft circling overhead.

The rescue helicopters trailing behind the fighter jets immediately landed, and Zhang Kun and the others were carried aboard.

Sheng An continued to give orders, and the helicopters took off without looking back, rushing toward the Core Shelter. These people were seriously injured and could not afford any delay.

Only Sheng An’s group and the teetering Psychic Aberrant remained on the scene.

Qi Lingwu asked, “Kill him?”

Hao Jingye pushed himself up from the ground and raised his voice. “Wait a moment!”

He hurried over, wiping the sweat from his forehead and panting heavily. “I need to ask a few questions first. The Research Institute wants to know as well-why are they gathering in Shi City, and how are they communicating?”

The Nation still knew too little about Aberrants.

Most Aberrants had nothing but slaughter, blood, and violence in their hearts. What allowed them to establish contact? What allowed them to act in unison and concentrate their forces in Shi City?

Who arranged it?

How was it arranged?

He intended to interrogate the Aberrant.

Wu Buyu said nothing, silently moving within two meters of the Aberrant.

Qi Lingwu locked onto him with his Supernatural Ability, his muzzle aimed true. At the slightest sign of movement, he would strike immediately.
