Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 193

Chapter 193

Sheng An lowered her head and looked at the chubby man crouching in front of her. He was rather cute, especially those eyes of his. Taken on their own, they were stern, sharp, and intimidating. But set into that round face, all their edge vanished instantly.

And yet, at this very moment, his entire expression screamed-I refuse to accept this.

He looked almost exactly like Long Tianyu had back then. It truly made her fists itch. She wanted to beat him up.

But then Sheng An thought of the information she had gathered, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down.

Miao Yuan had always sung the praises of the “God of Light” and held him in great respect. On the road, Sheng An had heard him compliment this “Divine Lord” more than enough times.

And just now, while distributing Supplies, she had also heard quite a bit from the others.

Jia Guangliang was definitely suffering from a case of chuunibyou.

But these people were willing to cooperate with him because they genuinely worshiped and respected him. Healing Type Superpower Users held a unique position in the Southwest.

The Miasma in the Southwest was extremely severe, especially when it first appeared. There had been almost no solution. If not for him exhausting his Supernatural Ability countless times to save people, there might not be nearly this many survivors left in the Southwest now.

Moreover, with him at the center, he had united the strength of countless Superpower Users and protected this land.

Jia Guangliang had indeed done a lot.

So, when Long Tianyu had taken the same attitude back then, he had been beaten so badly he needed emergency treatment several times in a row. This one, however, could be shown a bit of consideration.

Sheng An slowly unclenched her fist, lowered her gaze to him, and got down to business. “I came to you for something important. Regarding the specific cause of the Southwest Mystery, have you discovered anything on your end?”

Jia Guangliang originally had no intention of answering any of her questions.

But when he heard it was about that, he curled his lip and replied, “If I had discovered anything, I would have left long ago. Would I still be sitting here waiting?”

Sheng An frowned. “Then have you noticed anything special in the Southwest? Any abnormal incidents on this land can be reported to us.”

The corners of Jia Guangliang’s mouth lifted. “Oh, there are plenty. You want to know?”

He raised his cuffed hands and said flatly, “Take these off first. Also, I’m hungry. I want to eat-”

Sheng An turned and walked away.

She would give him some consideration, but not much.

“Hey, hey, hey!” Jia Guangliang stared in disbelief. “You don’t want to know anymore?”

Sheng An ignored him.

She walked straight over to Jia Guangliang’s subordinates and raised her voice. “If we want to break through the Southwest Mystery, we need to understand the Southwest first. Over the past two-plus years, have you discovered anything? Has anything unusual happened in the Southwest?

“Any information can be given to Assistant Hao, Wan Yuan, and the others. It is very important for our analysis of the cause.”

As soon as she finished speaking, these people stopped caring about checking the items in their bags. They even forgot to eat and drink, and hurriedly said-

“Don’t worry, Team Leader Sheng. We’ll definitely cooperate.”

“I actually know a few things. For the past two years, I’ve been following God… Brother Jia. I know everything he knows.”

“Me too. I also know some things. I don’t know if they’ll be useful, but I’ll tell you first!”

…

Since this would help find the cause of the Southwest Time anomaly, these people were extremely cooperative.

Hao Jingye and Wan Yuan led the others and began recording everything.

Jia Guangliang: “???”

-Traitors! This whole bunch of traitors!!
Sheng An and the others moved into the castle.

Oh, the castle was no longer the God of Light’s “church.” Sheng An had already renamed it-

Southwest Base Office.

The castle was huge, and very spacious. It could easily fit everyone from the entire Convoy inside.

Group B of the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department was having dinner.

With such a large Convoy, they naturally had cooks and cooking equipment. When they had time, they ate freshly cooked meals from big woks. When they did not, they ate instant food.

A Fire Ability User paired with a Water Ability User was enough to quickly prepare food for more than five hundred people.

Sheng An and the others each held a bowl.

When traveling away from home, the food naturally could not compare to what they had at Jing City Base, but there was still meat and vegetables in their bowls. Today’s meat dishes were braised pork and beef with green peppers. The vegetables were stir-fried water spinach and tomato scrambled eggs, and there was also a seaweed and tofu soup.

Everyone from the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department also had a small box of fruit and a small piece of cake.

Li Xin ate in big mouthfuls, his voice muffled. “The Convoy logistics chefs aren’t as good as the state banquet chefs at the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department, but I don’t know why-every time I eat this, it tastes especially good. Feels like I could demolish an entire basin of it.”
Wu Buyu didn’t even lift his head. “When have you ever not gotten a whole basin to yourself?”

Jiang Yu had her face buried in a giant bowl of rice. She looked up with a few grains still stuck to her cheek and said as naturally as could be, “Sister Li, take out a few bags of the braised dishes Master Zhang from the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department specially brought for us.”

Li Wanyun said nothing and took out five bags.

Jiang Yu quickly tore them open. The aroma instantly filled the entire hall, making everyone swallow despite themselves.

Li Xin, utterly shameless, dumped a generous amount into his bowl, then said, “Sister Li, I want pickles too. Do we still have any?”

Li Wanyun snapped impatiently, “Isn’t this enough for you?”

She grumbled, but still took out the pickles.

Li Xin asked, “Do you guys want some?”

Everyone shook their heads.

Li Wanyun lowered her head and continued eating. There was a lot of food inside her Space Ability-Supplies she had dreamed of in her Previous Life, and also the thing she had looked forward to most when she had just returned through Rebirth.

But now-

The Convoy chefs changed up their meals every day, and the veteran cooks from the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department, worried they wouldn’t eat well outside, had prepared all kinds of braised dishes and pickles for them in advance…

She really didn’t miss the Supplies she had hoarded at all.

Working for the Nation hadn’t shortchanged them in the slightest. When would she ever need to rack her brains over what to eat?

Three meals a day, and the veteran cooks thought it all through for them. There was every variety imaginable.

Li Wanyun was very satisfied.

Just then, Hao Jingye and Wan Yuan strode in, both drenched in sweat.

Sheng An looked up. “Did you find anything?”

The two shook their heads at the same time.

Wan Yuan sighed and sat down to eat. “There isn’t much information about the Southwest Time anomaly.”

Hao Jingye sat down as well, but instead of picking up his chopsticks, he opened the notebook in his hand.

“But there is quite a bit of useful information that needs careful analysis. As for the Southwest Mystery, I’m afraid we’ll have to carry out a new Investigation of the entire Southwest Region. Should we start sending people out tomorrow?”

The situation in the Southwest was special.

Right now it was night, which should have been the time when people were out and about.

But in the Southwest, the sky was forever gloomy, with no scorching sun. People could move around during the day, so the best time to take action was naturally daytime too.

Song Linwei said helplessly, “Eat first. We’ll discuss it after the meal and officially move out tomorrow.”

Hao Jingye sighed. “Just thinking about the abnormalities in the Southwest makes me lose my appetite. There’s a lot of useful information here. Should I tell you all first?”

Gurgle, gurgle-

Jiang Yu was speechless. “Your stomach’s growling from hunger, and you’re still not eating?”

Hao Jingye froze, then touched his stomach in confusion. “I’m not hungry.”

Then he realized. “That wasn’t me!”

He lifted his head and looked toward a certain corner.

The others followed his gaze and paused slightly.

Jia Guangliang was still cuffed, crouching on the floor.

He was staring at the bowl of rice in front of Hao Jingye, swallowing nonstop. The look in his eyes said he wished he could pounce over and snatch it away.

Sheng An: “…”

She looked at Li Xin. “Unlock him.”

Li Xin raised a hand, and the handcuffs were controlled into loosening.

But Jia Guangliang didn’t stand. Instead, he kept staring at Hao Jingye’s rice bowl and swallowing, stubbornly declaring, “Don’t think you can tempt me with one meal. I’m telling you, I, Jia Guangliang, am not so easily made to submit. I-”

Li Wanyun, Long Tianyu, and the others rolled their eyes, too lazy to pay him any attention.

Sheng An withdrew her gaze and looked at Hao Jingye. “Talk while you eat. What information do we have?”

Hao Jingye picked up his chopsticks and, under Jia Guangliang’s incredulous stare, began eating as he spoke.

“None of them know there’s a problem with Time in the Southwest, so there’s no related information. But regarding the Southwest Miasma, the Aberrants, and the Meteorite Fragment, there are some hidden details…”

Everyone treated the “God of Light” like air. No one cared.

Jia Guangliang: “???”

He stared in shock as Hao Jingye shoveled rice into his mouth.

Why wasn’t anyone saying one more word?

Even if they had just tried to persuade him once, he would have given in!!

They were just going to start eating and ignore him?

Was one more sentence really that hard?!

Sure, submitting over a single meal was embarrassing, but it could have been two meals instead!!

Just one more sentence!

Jia Guangliang’s eyes went as round as copper bells.
