Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 203

Chapter 203

The lava on the mountain behind them was already surging in. Their clothes grew scorching hot and curled from the heat, burning their skin. When the churning lava splashed up, even a tiny drop landing on a hand brought unbearable agony and a wide patch of festering flesh.

Sheng An lowered her head and looked at her mangled arm.

The pain was real. Everything they were facing was no illusion.

Jiang Yu was on the verge of breaking down.

She had thought her Space Ability could hold for twenty-four hours. At the very least, they would have time to find a way out. But why couldn’t they get in?!

What the hell was going on?!

The lava behind them was already rushing toward them. Jiang Yu stopped trying to enter the Space Ability. Without hesitation, because if they did not want to die right now, all they could do was keep running forward-even though more lava raged ahead of them too, hemming them in from every side…

At least there was still some distance.

At least they still had a brief moment left to live.

Gu Qiansheng, Cheng Bairuo, and Liu Miao were in terrible condition. Jiang Yu’s vines dragged them along, while Sheng An’s hand gripped the vines tightly, helping pull them as well.

-She would not abandon them.

That was her unwavering stance.

Even if the three of them looked as though they could not hold on much longer. Even if, after escaping, they would not last long without a Healing Type Superpower User to save them…

Sheng An still refused to give up!

In the depths of despair, Jiang Yu thought that perhaps Sister Sheng knew they were doomed to die. But even if they were going to die, they should die together.

Song Linwei’s breathing was ragged. After running through such blistering heat, his throat could only force out hoarse syllables.

“Jiang Yu’s Space Ability isn’t a Supernatural Ability, so why did it fail? And who exactly is scheming against us? How did they do this?!”

They could have calculated that the team would split up. They could have calculated that they would walk into the trap.

But how had they caused a Volcano eruption?

And how had they made Jiang Yu’s Space Ability fail?

This had never happened before!

The sudden turns in this scheme were filled with questions and confusion. In the Southwest, which had seemed to have nothing at all, how had someone laid out such a massive trap?

It was inevitable that Qi Lingwu and the others would try to find a way out. And for safety’s sake, they had to bring experts with them.

It was also inevitable that they would search the entire Southwest.

And if they discovered a Mutant Plant, it was likewise inevitable that they would rush over.

Among all these inevitabilities were two unexpected variables: the “Volcano eruption” and the “Space Ability failure.”

How had the existence scheming against them done it?!

In Cheng Bairuo’s last shreds of consciousness, he was filled with regret. “It’s all my fault. This is my fault.”

It was all because of him!

If he had not discovered the Mutant Plant, they would not have fallen into this scheme. They would not be moments away from being swallowed by lava.

But he really had sensed that the Mutant Plant existed…

Yet Sheng An said, “The Mutant Plant may not be fake.”

It just might not have been right in front of them.

Her words stunned Cheng Bairuo for a moment, but in their current situation, debating whether the Mutant Plant was real or fake no longer mattered.

If there really was a Mutant Plant, then all they could do was pray-

After they died, the others would be able to find it.

But with the mastermind behind the scenes laying such a terrifying scheme, would Qi Dui, the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department, or even the entire Southwest truly still have a chance?

The lava closing in from all sides shrank the encirclement. The aircraft could not land, and they had no Superpower User who could fly. They could not escape. In fact, none of their Supernatural Ability powers could withstand lava.

Jiang Yu had even considered whether her vines could wrap around the helicopter…

But it was too far away!

Everyone was injured, especially Gu Qiansheng and the other two at the very back.
Liu Miao’s leg was stripped down to white bone. Half of Cheng Bairuo’s hand was gone, the rest charred black. Gu Qiansheng was pale and weak, the flesh on his back nearly cooked…

If they had not been Superpower Users, not a single person here would have survived.

Even Jiang Yu, protected by Ji Yani and Sheng An, had both feet reduced to a bloody mess. There were eight of them, and not one was unscathed.

Ji Yani carried Sheng An and Jiang Yu, while Jiang Yu split off another vine to wrap around Zhang Kun and Song Linwei, dragging them forward as they ran. As long as they were not dead, no one would give up.

The encirclement continued to shrink, forcing them to stop at the very center.

In another ten seconds-no, perhaps only five-they would be swallowed by the magma and, like ninety-nine percent of the wronged souls of the Southwest, remain forever in this land.

Zhang Kun raised his charred hands and unleashed his Supernatural Ability with everything he had.

He still had the Space Barrier!

Sheng An saw it. She pressed her cracked lips together, then said in a clear voice, “We’ll try one more time. Song Linwei, strengthen Zhang Kun’s Supernatural Ability. Jiang Yu, take everyone else. Yani, move at full speed.”

She emphasized each word. “One more time.”

On those last four words, her eyes narrowed, as if she were looking through the magma at something else.

Her eyes were bottomless, like an endless abyss. In that moment, no one knew what she was thinking.

One more time.

She was about to be certain!

Zhang Kun and Ji Yani spoke at the same time. “Okay!”

Ji Yani prepared to carry them out. Jiang Yu pulled everyone closer. Zhang Kun shrank the Barrier as much as possible, trying to protect them all.

Song Linwei’s Supernatural Ability strengthened it.

He had never felt his heart pounding so fast. They were about to face the magma head-on.

Ji Yani lifted her foot.

Whoosh-

As if a gust of wind had swept past, the next instant, the Space Barrier Zhang Kun had propped up vanished.

The people Jiang Yu had pulled close were once again forced apart!

Ji Yani’s raised foot froze in place. Her eyes were filled with terror, her face full of disbelief.

What was going on?!

Jiang Yu’s Space Ability had failed, and now even Zhang Kun’s Space Barrier had failed too?!

“Fuck!” Even the usually steady Song Linwei swore.

Gu Qiansheng shouted hoarsely, “Sister Sheng, someone may be using a Supernatural Ability, but they’re several times stronger than me. I can’t Silence them!!”

Damn it.

What the hell was it?!

Jiang Yu opened her mouth. “A Supernatural Ability… Then what happened to my Space Ability?”

Why would a Supernatural Ability make her Space Ability fail too? What kind of Supernatural Ability was this?

The confusion lasted only an instant.

Because the magma’s range had shrunk even further. It was almost at their feet. The surging magma would absolutely drown them completely and melt them here…

After they died, would Qi Dui and the others be next? And after that, would it be every living person?

Zhang Kun tried again and again to raise the Barrier, but every attempt failed!

It was not that he could not use his Supernatural Ability. It was that the moment he raised the Barrier, it immediately vanished again, as if he had never raised it at all.

Liu Miao passed out completely. Cheng Bairuo closed his eyes in despair.

Even Song Linwei and Gu Qiansheng accepted their fate.

Jiang Yu held Sheng An tightly, as if by holding her, even the fear before death could be eased a little…

Of the eight of them, only Sheng An smiled.

Her eyes were bright, brilliant as stars, and the corners of her mouth lifted-

“I finally understand!”

She patted the back of Jiang Yu’s hand. “Don’t be afraid.”

The next instant, she curled her fingers and blew the Whistle Signal. The sound rang out, incomparably clear, piercing through everything.
