Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 155

Chapter 155

“I’ll kill you!” Someone lunged out of the crowd, brandishing a kitchen knife.

However, before he could even get close to Tang Tao, the man collapsed stiffly.

His neck had been sliced open by metal. He fell to the ground with eyes wide, clutching his throat as he convulsed. In just a few seconds, before the others could even react, he drew his last breath.

Tang Tao sneered. “Want to kill me? That’s what happens!”

The surroundings became as silent as a frozen pond.

Liu Zhao’s expression darkened. He knew this man; the man had lost his child because the food supplies had been cut off.

How could he not hate Tang Tao?

But he was just an ordinary person. Forget killing Tang Tao, it was difficult for him to even get close.

There were many powerful individuals in Tang Tao’s team. In particular, Dong Jiahuan, who possessed a Poison Ability, and Shi Lin, who possessed a Metal Ability, were not only absolutely loyal but also had extremely high combat strength. They had already killed many people.

Tang Tao turned his head to look at Captain Tan. “Don’t force me to start a massacre. The person in charge of B11 can always be replaced.”

“You-” Liu Zhao was consumed by hatred.

Captain Tan grit his teeth and held him back.

Lacking sufficient weapons, they truly had no advantage in front of a group of Superpower Users. Facing them head-on meant certain death…

They could only watch helplessly as Tang Tao and his people handpicked recruits.

Superpower Users were brought directly into the team, while ordinary people were selected like cabbages, with the group only taking those they found useful.

After this wave of recruitment, the combat effectiveness of the B11 Shelter plummeted once again.

Once the Aberrants attacked, even more people would likely die.

Tang Tao’s team led a large group of people away in a grand procession. Captain Tan and Liu Zhao stared at his retreating back, wishing they could drag him down to hell with them.

“I thought the greatest enemies in the Apocalypse were Aberrants and natural disasters. I didn’t expect it would also be humans,” Captain Tan said sorrowfully. “Can our B11 even keep holding on?”

Liu Zhao stared ahead fixedly.

“We have to hold on. I don’t believe the outside world has completely fallen into chaos, and I don’t believe the Nation is gone. If they could send a Grain Transport Team, they will send others!”

His eyes were full of madness, but they also held hope.

This single thought was what allowed him to grit his teeth and persevere.
**

Tang Tao was in high spirits, his steps light.

Dong Jiahuan, the Poison Ability user, spoke with a smile in her voice, “Once this batch of people goes over, many will surely awaken as Superpower Users. Our strength will grow even more.”

In fact, when they first awakened their Supernatural Abilities, most people had wanted to join the Nation and become a “Spark.”

The National Announcement Briefing from back then was still fresh in their minds. It was because of the government’s advance notice that they had managed to avoid the Meteorite strikes and survive.

However, human nature has a dark side.

This region had lost contact with the outside, they didn’t know the situation elsewhere, and many people had died… Under these circumstances, Tang Tao had stepped forward and lured out the demons in the hearts of countless people.

Tang Tao replied, “Yes, and when the time comes, we can find a way to go out and take a look…”

“Those Fragments are good things. We can go out and find more.”

“Right. With so many Meteorites across the world, there are bound to be plenty of Fragments.”

…

The group left B11 and headed toward the former Level 1 Shelter, which they had renamed “Apocalypse Future City.”

Someone lowered their voice and asked Tang Tao, “Boss, are we really going to just ignore the B11 Shelter? Just watch all those ordinary people die?”

There was still a hint of hesitation in his voice.

Tang Tao glanced at him and said indifferently, “It’s not that we don’t want any of them. Some are still useful; they can be used for hard labor and to help us build the Base. But now isn’t the time. They haven’t been tamed yet.”

“Wait until when?” Shi Lin asked, puzzled.

Tang Tao’s gaze was gloomy, his voice ruthless. “Starve them first. When they’re about to reach their breaking point, that’s when we’ll show up to be their Savior…”

He was a man of deep schemes and many calculations.

Those around him viewed him with a mix of respect and fear; indeed, no one dared to defy him.
At those words, Shi Lin nodded.

Just then, the ground vibrated slightly.

Tang Tao froze, looking toward the side in confusion.

“Boss Tang, is that a Convoy?” someone exclaimed in surprise.

Dong Jiahuan was puzzled. “Could it be another Grain Transport Team?”

Tang Tao smiled. “Isn’t that perfect? We can get ourselves another batch of grain. Come on, let’s go take a look.”
Wu Buyu dropped down from the sky, landing on the roof of Sheng An’s car. After shifting back into human form, he nimbly slipped through the window.

His tone was relaxed. “There are a lot of people up ahead.”

They were already very close to B11. They had originally been worried that something might have happened here, leaving no survivors, but seeing people now put them at ease.

At the very least, people were still alive.

Sheng An nodded. “Drive over and see.”

Over the communicator, Wan Yuan’s voice rang out: “Wait, something’s not right. I think I’m hearing some… unpleasant things…”

Hm?

Sheng An frowned.

Wan Yuan’s Supernatural Ability was Secret Sound Transmission. He could relay messages to people over long distances, but that also meant he could hear people speaking from a long distance away.

By locking his Supernatural Ability onto one or more people, he could speak to them or listen to them.

When locking onto multiple people, the range of his ability shortened; when locking onto only one person, the range was at its maximum.

In other words, he was essentially a “Wind-Ear.”

After a moment, Wan Yuan’s voice sounded strange. “This group isn’t right. They don’t seem like people from the Shelter, because they’re discussing how to rob us…”

For a moment, Wan Yuan suspected he had misheard.

Sheng An, however, frowned instantly, her expression turning grim.

“Rob us?” Hao Jingye’s brow also furrowed.

Song Linwei narrowed his eyes. “To use the word ‘rob’ so casually… the last batch of Supplies sent here might have been stolen too. A Shelter wouldn’t do something like this. In this Disconnection Zone, there is a power other than the Shelter-and I’m afraid they aren’t good people.”

That was why Sheng An’s face had darkened.

Li Wanyun sneered. “They’re that arrogant?”

As they spoke, the Convoy drew closer.

Sheng An saw the crowd ahead.

Everywhere was a stretch of Scorched Earth. A group of people standing on the desolate land was impossible to miss. The first few vehicles in the Convoy drove straight toward them.

Dong Jiahuan frowned. “That Convoy seems really long?”

The air was terrible, severely limiting visibility. They could make out big cargo trucks behind the smaller cars-military green, one after another, stretching out of sight.

In this Scorched Earth world, that color looked almost vibrant, and it stood out all the more.

Two vehicles at the front, one large and one small, accelerated and came roaring in.

The road wasn’t smooth; in some places, it was split by jagged cracks.

Just as Tang Tao and his men thought the vehicles would steer around the fissures, the ground trembled. Soil churned and rolled, filling the gaps completely!

Wherever they went, a road appeared.

Tang Tao’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

Earth Ability Users. And whoever was doing it was extremely strong.

As they drew closer, an especially wide fissure yawned open ahead, black below as if bottomless. The vehicles didn’t slow at all, charging straight toward it.

Right as they reached the edge, steel plates erupted into existence, forming a short, extremely wide bridge!

It happened so fast it was like a blink-smooth, practiced, and precise.

The vehicles crossed.

This time, Tang Tao and the others were genuinely stunned.

Shi Lin spoke rapidly, his voice tight. “A Metal Element Superpower User! Much, much stronger than me!”

Tang Tao’s breathing hitched as well. He narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice. “Don’t panic. Nobody do anything yet. Let’s test them first.”

The lead car stopped beside Tang Tao’s group, and the window rolled down.
