Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 149

Chapter 149

Dr. Yan left. He had to return to the Research Institute to continue discussions with his colleagues. The most in-depth analysis had already been shared with them; the rest required further derivation.

Some doubts had been cleared, but others remained.

Doubts about the Previous Life, about the Meteorite and the Aberrants, and about the future.

Li Xin’s expression was complicated. “So, I might not be a ‘Chosen One,’ but rather ‘Sheng’s Chosen One’?”

Song Linwei nodded. “It’s very likely.”

Li Wanyun sat down next to Sheng An and reached out to pet Shan Hua, her expression hard to describe. “It’s highly probable that you chose us. That’s why you gathered us and suppressed us before. What kind of sense of destiny is this?”

Old Man Qin corrected her, “From a metaphysical standpoint, that’s called karma.”

Li Wanyun: “…”

She looked at Old Man Qin expressionlessly.

Old Man Qin silently retreated, shrinking behind Li Xin, not daring to make another sound.

Long Tianyu was curious. “If you really were the one who chose us, how did you pick us out? Did you know me in our Previous Life? Did you fall for me at first sight?”

As he said those last few words, he flashed a brilliant smile and even glanced at Qi Lingwu.

Qi Lingwu ignored him.

Hao Jingye said coolly, “You’re all overthinking it. Maybe it was just a random selection. After all, in your memories, you didn’t know Sister Sheng, did you?”

Wu Buyu added, “That’s hard to say. There are still hidden opponents; memories could have been altered.”

Jiang Yu crouched down beside Sheng An, her head resting against the hospital bed as she mumbled, “Then what about my situation?”

-She seemed different from everyone else.

Sheng An didn’t speak, only stroking her head.

Jiang Yu nuzzled against her like a cat.

Seeing this, Shan Hua hopped over and kicked her in the forehead.

Jiang Yu: “Shan Hua!!”

Ke Jiaxue had stars in her eyes as she crouched next to Jiang Yu, grinning. “Hehehe, rather than being a ‘Chosen One,’ I’d rather be ‘Sheng’s Chosen One.’ It means Sister Sheng acknowledges me!”

As for random selection?

Whatever. She wasn’t listening, and she didn’t believe it!

Li Xin also crouched over, his imagination running wild. “I hope Sister Sheng’s Supernatural Ability really is Time. That way, there’d be a regret pill to take. If we do something wrong or say something wrong, we can just have Sister Sheng pull us back immediately. Hahahaha!”

Ji Yani remained expressionless. “You’re dreaming. Time is the hardest thing in the world to master. How could it be that easy to control?”

She stroked her chin. “Though, I really want to see Sister Sheng show off her strength. When exactly will her Supernatural Ability recover?”

Qi Lingwu suddenly spoke up. “Let her rest.”

Jiang Yu slapped her forehead. “Right! Sister Sheng can’t even speak right now. You guys almost lost your lives earlier; you need to rest well.”

With that, she stood up.

The others also stood up one after another and left, no longer disturbing her rest.

After walking for a while, Jiang Yu suddenly thought of something and stopped in her tracks.

Hao Jingye asked, “What’s up?”

Jiang Yu’s eyes were mischievous. “Not telling you.”

Her Space Ability had been strictly managed, but recently, the space seemed to have grown a bit larger, with a little more land appearing on the outskirts.

She planned not to report it yet. She would grow a crop of her favorite fruits first.

Right, even the ridges between the fields could be used.

She would scout out what fruits Sister Sheng liked to eat, and when they grew, she’d secretly share some with her.

Hehehehe.

She really was a genius.

Jiang Yu hurried back excitedly.

Just as she was about to push open the half-closed door, she saw Qi Lingwu leaning over to plant a kiss on Sheng An’s forehead.

Jiang Yu: “???”

-Did Sister Sheng really need to rest?

-Or did Qi Dui just think the third wheels were too noisy??

While she was still in shock, a hand covered her eyes and dragged her away.

Hao Jingye said expressionlessly, “Give the couple who almost died some space, okay?”
Jiang Yu: “…”

Jing City was safer than it had ever been. With everyone working together, the Base had finally begun to take shape.

Massive clusters of buildings stood tall upon the scorched earth. Layer upon layer of defenses were under construction; every sector had its own individual protection, and every single building was incredibly sturdy.

Countless people were like ants, working diligently through the night to build their future home.

“It’s estimated that the entire thing will be completed in four months,” Hao Jingye said while eating.

“That long?” Li Xin asked, surprised.

Hao Jingye let out a long sigh. “It can’t be helped. Natural disasters are constant, and we have to set up cultivation zones, livestock zones, and so on within the Base. The area is massive. Plus, the temperature is getting higher and higher; we can’t have ordinary people working non-stop. Their bodies won’t hold up.”

Humans were already trying their best to adapt, but the climate was becoming increasingly wretched.

Song Linwei agreed. “Four months is actually considered very fast. That’s only because it’s a total mobilization for infrastructure and we have countless Superpower Users helping out. The Base we’re building doesn’t just have to withstand extreme heat, but also extreme cold, earthquakes, attacks from Aberrants, Acid Rain, toxic gas, and more.”

High temperatures were only the first step.

Between the damage from the Meteorite and the fires that had burned for so long, the air outside was already starting to feel off.

Infrastructure work was bound to be hindered.

“In a world like this, it’s better to have more Superpower Users. The stronger the Superpower User, the more of an impact they can make,” Wan Yuan said, shaking his head with a sigh.

It was currently their mealtime, and the entire team was present.

Long Tianyu asked curiously, “What’s our next mission?”

Sheng An was finally able to speak again. Swallowing her food, she replied, “Wait for instructions.”

“Oh…”

Just then, Group A also came in to eat.

Before they even entered, they could hear Lou Mingwei’s boisterous voice:

“How am I only 5 stars? I don’t accept this!!”

The Test Kits had already been produced, allowing everyone to self-test their Ability Level.

Jiang Ling was speechless. “Even Team Leader Qiu is only 6 stars. Isn’t it normal for you to be 5 stars?”

“But that bunch from Group B-”

Lou Mingwei’s voice cut off abruptly because he had spotted Group B inside the cafeteria.

Lou Mingwei: “…”

Huang Weiyang, a Water Ability User from Group A, quickly added, “Sister Xiang is 6 stars because of her extraordinary combat power. Team Leader Qiu’s Supernatural Ability is unique since she can control many puppets in battle. That’s why Dr. Yan said that under normal circumstances, Team Leader Qiu is 6 stars, but during combat, she’s 7 stars.”

Lou Mingwei nodded hurriedly. “Exactly! And I can feel it-I’m about to break through to 6 stars soon. My combat power is very high!”

As he spoke, he puffed out his chest toward the members of Group B.

Group B: “…”

Ever since the power testing began, and especially since the members of Group B were each more unique than the last, Group B had completely crushed Group A in terms of raw power levels.

Of course, looking at the number of Superpower Users and overall combat strength, the difference wasn’t that large.

Group B was suited for individual combat, while Group A had stronger group-attack capabilities.

However, precisely because Group B’s abilities were so specialized, they had more high-star members, making their small-team combat effectiveness almost invincible.

Especially Sheng An…

They didn’t know exactly how strong Sheng An was, but they knew she had tested at 9 stars.

Group B really couldn’t stand Lou Mingwei’s posturing.

Jiang Yu and Li Xin put down their utensils at the same time and gave Lou Mingwei a slight smile.

In an instant, a sense of foreboding washed over Lou Mingwei. He instinctively frowned, staring at the two of them warily.

The two of them began a loud conversation-

Li Xin: “How many stars did Sister Sheng get on her ability test again?”

Jiang Yu: “9 stars!”

Li Xin: “What did Sister Sheng get 9 stars in?”

Jiang Yu: “The ability test!”

Li Xin: “Who got 9 stars on the ability test?”

Jiang Yu: “Sister Sheng!”

Lou Mingwei: “…………”

-The tactics might be old, but they still cut deep.
