Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 176

Chapter 176

They were out!

They were finally out!

The Old Priest was practically weeping with joy, nearly breaking down on the spot. Heaven only knew how long the few of them had been struggling just to get out of there.

Daigua was also very happy, grinning with a foolish smile.

“Heh heh heh.”

The Priest: “…”

That sound made him want to hit someone!

But after seeing the severed hand hanging from Qiu, he restrained himself.

The woman licked her dry lips, her voice raspy. “I’m hungry and thirsty.”

Her craving for human blood was peaking. Looking at Daigua, she even felt an impulse to drink his blood…

How strange.

The woman looked away, maintaining her sanity. “Are we continuing our journey?”

The Priest also pursed his cracked lips, looking toward the Southwest. His voice was hoarse. “Continue. We’ve already wasted a lot of time. We must reach the nearest resting point as soon as possible to recover.”

Daigua reached out, seemingly wanting to carry him again.

The Priest took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. “I feel much better now. I can walk on my own.”

-If he let Daigua carry him again, he’d be the fool!

-The boy was completely unreliable.

Daigua: “Oh…”

He seemed a bit disappointed.

Thinking that he still needed to rely on the boy’s combat power, the Priest offered a perfunctory word of comfort. “I just want you to get some rest. You’ve exerted yourself too much; you shouldn’t tire yourself out further.”

Daigua’s eyes lit up. “You’re so kind.”

The Priest: “.”

Daigua grinned. “Heh heh heh.”

The Priest: “..”

He took a deep breath, turned around, and dragged his aged body across the scorching ground, sprinting forward to take a shortcut.

He couldn’t take it. He really couldn’t take it anymore.

He had to find a resting point as soon as possible and ditch this idiot!
On the other side of the miniature camera.

The interior of the car fell silent.

Especially after hearing Li Xin’s “heh heh heh,” everyone on this end was speechless.

After a long while, Jiang Yu opened her mouth. “That sound is so familiar. I really want to punch him.”

She looked over at Qin Xuan and Old Man Qin.

Qin Xuan was eating candy, his eyes clear and innocent. Old Man Qin shrunk his neck guiltily, offering a fawning smile.

“Heh heh heh.”

Qin Xuan immediately followed suit. “Heh heh heh.”

Everyone: “…”

Damn, they finally knew where Li Xin had learned that from.

No wonder it was so punchable.

Long Tianyu looked away, staring at the screen. After a moment, he couldn’t help but remark, “Is Li Xin just playing himself? I’m worried those Aberrants will be provoked to death by him.”

Li Wanyun glanced at him. “It’s not like he’s annoying you.”

Only Song Linwei looked completely worried.

Hao Jingye comforted him, “Don’t worry, Li Xin has an Indestructible Body. His life isn’t in danger.”

Song Linwei looked up, expressionless. “I’m worried that since he wasn’t very smart to begin with, playing the role of Daigua will make him even more of an idiot.”

Hao Jingye: “…”

After a pause, he offered comfort again. “Your concern is very well-founded.”

After all, the way Li Xin was acting didn’t look much like a performance.

Sheng An was checking the map.

The Priest and his group had changed direction. Originally, they were heading straight Southwest, but now they were veering off slightly, likely to find an Aberrant Gathering Place as quickly as possible.

After all the tossing and turning on the road, the Aberrants needed to feed.

Ordinary food was hard to find in the outside world, and the group didn’t dare approach human settlements. Their only option was to find an Aberrant Gathering Place, hoping to use a Blood Pool to recover their condition.

Sheng An contacted Wan Yuan. “The Convoy should continue toward the Southwest. Don’t stop. We’re going to pursue them and settle this quickly.”

Wan Yuan replied immediately, “Understood. Stay safe. I’ll keep your information synced in real-time.”

As if remembering something, Wan Yuan added, “Sister Sheng, the higher-ups sent over a document. I’ve forwarded it to Assistant Hao.”

Sheng An looked at Hao Jingye.

He had just received it. He scanned it quickly, processing the information in his mind, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

Song Linwei asked urgently, “What is it?”

Hao Jingye spoke in a businesslike manner:

“The Nation took the news we reported very seriously. Regarding the second movement of the Aberrants, the leadership unanimously agrees that it should be nipped in the bud.

“Two hours ago, the Nation notified all Shelters to conduct screenings while monitoring their surroundings. Any unusual discoveries are to be reported immediately.

“Additionally, the Communications Department has restored remote monitoring to conduct a thorough investigation. If any abnormalities are found, the Nation will immediately dispatch personnel to investigate. Group A of the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department and Superpower Users across the country will cooperate with the Nation’s actions.”
“The higher-ups have named this mission the Purge Divine Descent Operation. They want us to give it our all.”

Sheng An nodded slowly.

Her arrangements were sound; this massive convoy needed to be divided.

While the main force continued toward the Southwest, their elite squad was about to launch the Purge Divine Descent Operation along the way, intending to take M’s second step, ‘Divine Descent’…

And nip it in the bud!

Hao Jingye closed the files and looked at Sheng An.

Everyone else turned their gaze toward her as well, waiting for her orders.

At this moment, they were like a blade about to be unsheathed, ready to test its edge.
World-wide, the land was a Scorched Earth, but most of the country remained under control.

It was no easy feat for the Aberrants to leave the Shelters, seize Fragments, and gather together to evolve-let alone find a secure stronghold.

There weren’t many Aberrant Gathering Places.

The Priest and his group had taken backroads and sprinted at full speed for two days and nights before finally reaching the nearest Aberrant Gathering Place.

This was the ruins of a city that had been struck by a Meteorite. They were hidden in an abandoned parking garage beneath collapsed buildings; one had to wind through the city’s edge to find the entrance to the underground level.

It was indeed hidden deep.

When the Priest arrived with the other three, the Aberrants inside were quite surprised.

The group didn’t care about anything else. They lunged straight for the Blood Pool and gulped down large amounts of blood. Their withered, cracked bodies began to show faint signs of improvement.

The three of them gorged themselves.

Daigua looked at them, then at the Blood Pool. Finally, gritting his teeth, he submerged his head but kept his mouth tightly shut.

To others, it looked like he was drinking just as greedily as the rest.

Once the Priest caught his breath, he looked up. His voice was raspy and dry as he squeezed out a sentence with difficulty: “Those bastards from the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department are elusive. Our group was wiped out. You all need to be careful.”

His voice was unpleasant to begin with, but now it was truly grating.

This gathering place also had a Priest-a young Female Student still wearing a high school uniform.

Hearing his words, she nodded. “I already know. Your gathering place was rounded up, all your companions are dead, and even the high-level Aberrants you were nurturing were taken by the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department.”

The Priest: “…”

This girl really knew how to rub salt in the wound.

He took a deep breath, looked around, and offered a suggestion: “This place you’ve chosen isn’t safe. People check the city at any time. Moreover, I’ve heard the humans are restoring their monitoring systems. You’ll be discovered easily then. You should move.”

The Female Student replied, “The most dangerous place is the safest place. You chose to hide inside a Volcano, and yet you were still wiped out.”

The Priest: “…”

Choked by her words again, his expression soured further.

But this wasn’t his territory. Since he hadn’t recovered yet, it wasn’t the time for a fight.

He didn’t argue further, but when he noticed the Blood Pool, he couldn’t help but frown. “Why do you have so little Energy Source? Did you not go out to collect any?”

The Female Student said, “It’s good enough that we kept this much. You collected plenty of Fragments, and yet they were all snatched away by the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department.”

The Priest: “…”

This conversation was impossible.

Damn it, these minors were all so fucking annoying and didn’t know how to speak properly!

Daigua kept a blank face, turning his head the other way to stifle a laugh.

The Female Student spoke again, “I am about to preside over the Sacrifice Ritual. Step aside a bit and stand in the back.”

The Priest was dissatisfied. “We are in poor condition. We should stand in the First Position to absorb energy and recover as quickly as possible.”

The Female Student sneered. “You’ve contributed nothing to this Blood Pool. It’s generous enough that we’re letting you participate. Don’t be picky. Get to the back.”

“You-” Qiu was enraged.

The Old Priest held him back.

He ultimately endured it. The four of them were in terrible shape and had no combat capability; they had to recover quickly before thinking of other plans.

When the time came, he would definitely contact the Master and have this Female Student Priest replaced!

The Priest led Daigua and the others to the very back. While absorbing energy, he plotted how to seize this stronghold and become the Priest here.

He even thought that once he became the Priest, he would move to a safer location-
Boom!*

Suddenly, the earth shook and the mountains swayed, cutting his thoughts short.
