Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 158

Chapter 158

Sheng An explained, “They are hidden Aberrants.”

The crowd was stunned, followed immediately by a wave of horror.

This was especially true for the Superpower Users in Tang Tao’s team. They interacted with these people on a daily basis and had no idea they were actually Aberrants.

And-

Wasn’t this number a bit too high?!

Sheng An turned back to look at them. “Did Tang Tao’s so-called awakening and enhancement of Supernatural Abilities involve the use of a Meteorite Fragment?”

One Superpower User nodded immediately.

Another added hurriedly, “Yes. He got a fragment from the Meteorite and discovered it could enhance Supernatural Abilities and create Superpower Users. He would soak the fragment in water and give it to those who wanted to awaken their abilities. Sometimes, we were given some as well.”

Sheng An’s gaze sharpened.

Even Hao Jingye and the others’ expressions shifted.

Song Linwei frowned. “Meteorite Fragments are inherently highly pollutive. Just staying within a certain range of a fragment carries a high risk of turning into an Aberrant, let alone directly drinking water soaked with one.”

A Superpower User nodded quickly. “Right, right. Drinking the water might turn you into a Superpower User, but there’s also a massive chance of becoming an Aberrant. We thought we had cleared them all out; we didn’t expect so many to be hiding…”

He swallowed hard as he looked at the group.

He didn’t doubt the judgment of Qi Lingwu and his team. After all, from the moment the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department arrived, they had demonstrated absolute, unquestionable strength.

Liu Zhao grit his teeth. “Tang Tao is disgusting! He actually hid this information. He only said it could make us Superpower Users; he never mentioned there was an even greater chance of becoming Aberrants!”

If he had said so earlier, it was unlikely so many people would have joined them.

Sure enough, those who had just joined today were all wearing expressions of terror and lingering fear.

Sheng An’s gaze swept over everyone before settling on Tang Tao’s corpse. Her voice was calm, but every word was clear enough for all the Superpower Users to hear.

“Fragments can indeed enhance Supernatural Abilities. However, they will also cause you to silently transform into Aberrants. It is a very risky endeavor that the Nation does not currently support. Of course, we will not stop you; it ultimately depends on your own choice.”

A Superpower User immediately shook his head. “No, I don’t want to become an Aberrant.”

The substances in the air already allowed them to improve slowly. There was no need to risk becoming an Aberrant just to accelerate that growth, especially now that the Nation had established order.

Previously, under Tang Tao’s influence, they all believed the world had become a place where the strong preyed on the weak. Fearing they would be bullied, they felt they had no choice but to desperately improve themselves.

Now they realized that the Nation’s order still existed, and the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department was there to keep things in check and prevent chaos.

They wouldn’t be bullied. Even if they became top-tier powerhouses, they wouldn’t be able to surpass the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department, nor would they be allowed to bully others.

In that case, there was no need to take the risk.

As long as they could stay alive, who would want to die?

Especially becoming an Aberrant-the mere thought of one’s body being taken over by another entity, which would then impersonate them to harm those who trusted them, their family, and their friends…

The Superpower Users all shook their heads in succession.

Captain Tan took a step forward and asked urgently, “Can those Fragments be disposed of?”

He lowered his voice. “Actually, it’s not just Tang Tao who had one. We have a piece here as well, and there might be more on the surrounding Meteorites.”

Sheng An understood and nodded. “We will take the Fragments with us. The Research Institute is collecting them to find a way to deal with the Aberrants.”

She wasn’t surprised that there were Fragments around B11. After all, this area had been out of contact for so long; the situation was bound to be unique.

Only then did Liu Zhao and Captain Tan feel at ease.

Sheng An stretched her neck and addressed the members of the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department.

“That’s enough. Everyone, let’s move.”

“Wan Yuan, Song Linwei, Hao Jingye-set up communications. Wu Buyu, Gu Qiansheng-screen B11 for Aberrants. Li Xin, go with the Earth Ability Users to repair the Shelter. Qi Dui, take a team to collect the Fragments…”
“On it!” Wan Yuan called out in response.

The others nodded. Upon hearing the command, they didn’t hesitate for a second and immediately sprang into action.

Liu Zhao and Captain Tan watched, stunned. This team was incredibly well-organized…

As expected of the national team!

Sheng An turned her gaze toward them. “Start distributing the supplies. Use some of the supplies from Tang Tao’s Space Ability storage first. We brought quite a lot this time and will provide you with another batch. Later, when we begin building the Base, resources will be allocated according to labor. Jing City will make the arrangements for you.”

Almost instinctively, the two replied in unison, “Understood.”

In less than an hour, the entirety of B11 had been transformed. The clearing of Aberrants-even though everyone knew it was impossible to be one hundred percent thorough-brought a sense of relief to the people in the Shelter.

The distribution of supplies rekindled hope in those who had spent this period in despair and anxiety.

The Nation was still there. They hadn’t been abandoned.

Consequently, after receiving and storing their supplies, ordinary people began to emerge one by one, volunteering to join the teams repairing the Shelter.

Mending the Shelter piece by piece felt like they were mending their own hearts. Even if the world was riddled with holes, there would always be people working to stitch it back together.
Once Liu Zhao had finished arranging the supply distribution, he hurried over to find Sheng An.

She was currently in the Convoy’s communications vehicle.

Wan Yuan was busy working with several technicians, occasionally speaking with the technical staff in the Shelter’s own communications room.

Sheng An leaned against the side, toying with a Meteorite Fragment in her hand.
Beep, beep-*

Liu Zhao asked curiously, “Is it difficult?”

Wan Yuan shook his head, then nodded. “It’s a bit tricky. The loss of communication in this area should be related to the Meteorite. It seems the Meteorite has isolated this region, forming a unique space.”

Hao Jingye added, “Then we need to see how the Meteorite is distributed. Wan Yuan, can you see that from here?”

Wan Yuan shook his head. “No.”

Sheng An didn’t seem to mind. Her gaze pierced through the darkness, looking ahead. “Let’s wait for Qi Dui’s feedback. They’re out inspecting all the surrounding Meteorites.”

It was already dark, and visibility was limited. Fortunately, Qi Lingwu possessed a unique Supernatural Ability.

When traveling outside, the only manageable times were usually from dusk until nightfall-the period when the sun was gone but visibility wasn’t yet fully obscured.

As time passed, it seemed everyone was gradually getting used to the darkness. Previously, most people couldn’t see anything at night, but now, most could make out general shapes in the dark.

This was evolution. Humans didn’t want to go extinct, so they were desperately adapting, evolving their bodies in advantageous directions.

Liu Zhao looked a bit dazed.

After a moment of thought, he asked, “Is our location particularly special?”

“Yes, it is a bit special.” Sheng An put away the Fragments and stood up straight. “But then again, this is the Apocalypse. Every place has its own peculiarities.”

She turned back to look at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu was so bored she was twiddling her thumbs. Seeing Sheng An look her way, Jiang Yu’s eyes lit up. “Sister Sheng, do you need me to do something?”

She was one of the Plant Ability Users, after all! She could act as a supervisor!

Sheng An replied, “Work with the cultivation Research Group to study this area. See if you need to collect any samples, and try planting some seeds.”

Jiang Yu: “…”

Fine, she just couldn’t escape farming.

She let out a long sigh and, accompanied by Sheng An, Zhuang Fan, and Ji Yani, headed outside to find a patch of open ground.

Liu Zhao was bewildered. “What are they doing? You even brought a Research Group with you this time? Where are they?”

He looked back toward the long line of the Convoy.

However, not far in front of him, Jiang Yu closed her eyes. After a brief moment of concentration, she manifested the members of the Research Group from her Space Ability storage.

A large group of people suddenly appeared on the level ground.

Liu Zhao: “???”

He was so startled he fell back onto his rear, his eyes wide with shock.

Holy crap, she just conjured people out of thin air!
