Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 207

Chapter 207

Everyone followed her gaze and froze for a moment.

The Convoy kicked up clouds of dust as it sped toward them.

Hao Jingye stuck his head out the car window and waved.

“Sister Sheng, we’re here!!”

Everyone: “…”

Hao Jingye had arrived, and he had brought the entire Convoy with him, including Wan Yuan, Yu Feng, Jiang Huanshu, Zhuang Fan, Qin Xuan, and Old Man Qin. He had even picked up Ke Jiaxue and Liu Yue along the way.

But what did they have to do with finding the Time Aberrant?

Forget Jiang Yu and the others-even Gu Qiansheng and Song Linwei couldn’t make the connection right away.

The Convoy came to a stop. Hao Jingye and Wan Yuan hurried out of the vehicles. When Wan Yuan saw that, despite how battered they looked, they were all alive and intact, he let out a long breath of relief.

Ke Jiaxue strode over. “You scared me to death. Thank God you’re all okay!”

“Why are you here too?” Jiang Yu’s eyes widened.

Wan Yuan came over, catching his breath. “With a commotion as huge as a Volcano eruption, how could we not know?”

He sat down beside Sheng An, and only after confirming that not a single person was missing did he speak again.

“Your destination was hit by a Volcano eruption. Assistant Hao and Dr. Yan guessed you might have been tricked, but we knew nothing about the situation here and were completely overwhelmed. Assistant Hao was the one who stayed calm and suggested that everyone come over to check things out.”

Everyone looked at Hao Jingye.

He also walked over, raising a hand to push up his glasses. “Thank you, but what I said wasn’t to check things out. It was to provide backup.”

After a pause, he continued, “Once we confirmed the Volcano eruption was at your destination, it was basically certain that you’d fallen into a trap. But I believe unconditionally that Sister Sheng would never underestimate the enemy like that.

“Thinking back to how Sister Sheng previously asked us to stay behind and only brought Jiang Yu and Zhang Kun with her, I deduced that Sister Sheng must have had other arrangements. Reasonable, right?”

Jiang Yu froze.

-Was it reasonable?

Gu Qiansheng voiced what she was thinking. “Only someone with your IQ would think that’s reasonable.”

“Being smart isn’t my fault.” Hao Jingye shrugged.

Then he continued his analysis.

“No matter what happened over here, if we assumed something had gone wrong with Sister Sheng, then there was no point in us staying behind at the Southwest Market. We might as well come over and investigate. If we assumed Sister Sheng had other arrangements, then she would most likely be able to draw out useful information. Once a fight broke out, bringing people here as backup wouldn’t be wrong either.

“I’ve already gathered the Superpower User group in the Southwest and told them they no longer need to conduct Investigation. They can return to the Southwest Market, while I brought everyone here to provide backup.”

Not only had he brought the entire Convoy, he had also dragged Old Chu and Xiao Xi along with them.

If you wanted to protect someone, you had to keep them by your side at all times. Only then could you protect them effectively.

After explaining all his arrangements in one breath, Hao Jingye took a deep breath.

“Just now, when I saw that all of you were here, it confirmed that Sister Sheng had made arrangements in advance. So now, can you tell me what you’ve discovered and what we need to do next?”

Li Xin: “…”

He opened his mouth, and after a long while, finally managed to squeeze out one sentence. “Holy shit. You really don’t have a Supernatural Ability? Brain evolution doesn’t count?!”

When they had been discussing everything earlier, they had explained it clearly and plainly, and even then, he had almost failed to understand.

Hao Jingye had just analyzed it all on his own, then seen that they were all here, and roughly figured everything out. All he lacked was the key information.

They were all human. How could the gap be this huge?

Expressionless, Hao Jingye said, “Thank you, my brain is perfectly normal. If you can’t understand, then don’t bring it up.”

After a pause, he still couldn’t hold back. His calm expression cracked, and he snapped, “If you use the fact that I don’t have a Supernatural Ability against me again, I’ll strangle your ass!!”

Li Xin shut up.

Sheng An told them all of the analysis and speculation from earlier.

Hao Jingye remained quiet throughout. Ke Jiaxue looked like she wanted to say something, but in the end, she held it back and listened steadily to the end.

After that, there was a long Silence.
Hao Jingye drew in a breath, his expression grave. “The Southwest Blood Pool, the Time Aberrant… No wonder Time in the Southwest is running so much faster than outside.”

A Blood Pool needed countless amounts of fresh blood as nourishment to nourish Aberrants. Killing people one by one was too much trouble. So what was the easiest way to cause mass death?

The Apocalypse.

In a terrible, lawless Apocalypse world, just like Li Wanyun and the others’ Previous Life, people died in massive numbers every single day. As long as Time in the Southwest was accelerated, countless amounts of blood would nourish this land…

This was the true Apocalypse.

Three accelerated years. The blood of ninety-nine percent of the population. Countless Fragments across the Southwest. All of it nourishing a single Time Aberrant.

-This was the truth behind the Southwest Mystery!

The acceleration of Time in the Southwest was not merely meant to isolate the Southwest. Its main purpose was to manufacture death, to make countless blood spill across this land.

Everyone fell into a daze.

“Sister Sheng, you still haven’t said how we’re supposed to find the Time Aberrant.” Gu Qiansheng scratched his head.

They now knew there were two Time Layers in the Southwest: Apocalypse Month Three and Apocalypse Year Three.

Everyone was in Apocalypse Year Three. Only the Time Aberrant and the Mutant Plant might be in Apocalypse Month Three. How were they supposed to cross Time? And how could they lock onto the other side’s location?

Sheng An looked beside Hao Jingye.

Old Man Qin was holding Qin Xuan, quietly eating while listening. Since the old man and the child had no combat power, they had always been little more than bystanders.

Wherever the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department went, they went too, often with very little presence.

“I didn’t let Qin Xuan use Prophecy earlier because we had no clues. Now we do.” Sheng An fixed her gaze on Qin Xuan.

What she had been waiting for was not the Convoy.

It was Qin Xuan.

The clever Hao Jingye had not known what Sheng An needed most, so he had brought everyone.

Everyone froze.

Hao Jingye suddenly understood.

No wonder when Jiang Yu had suggested letting Qin Xuan use Prophecy earlier, Sheng An had shaken her head. Back then, she had already been fishing. Only after the plan was complete and they had clues would it be the best time for Qin Xuan to use his Supernatural Ability!

-She had never planned not to use Qin Xuan’s Supernatural Ability.

A Rules and Order Type, something so special-how could she possibly not use it?

During the time they had spent analyzing the situation, Sheng An had already adjusted her condition.

She stood, rolled her neck, and loosened her body. Her joints let out crisp cracking sounds. Her expression was calm.

Qi Lingwu stood as well and slung the Sniper Rifle in his hands onto his back.

Everyone knew-

When Qi Dui carried his gun on his back, it did not mean a ceasefire. It meant… he was preparing for battle.

Influenced by the atmosphere, everyone stood one after another. Their Supernatural Abilities clamored, restless and ready to move.

The air turned murderous.

Cheng Bairuo cautiously raised a hand. “Uh, me, me, me… I’m still missing a hand…”

Everyone else: “…”

The battle-ready atmosphere that had just surged up vanished completely.

Hao Jingye grabbed him and pulled him to his side, placing him next to Qin Xuan and Old Man Qin. Old Chu and Xiao Xi also retreated, along with Jiang Yu, Wan Yuan, Jia Guangliang, Song Linwei, Zhuang Fan, and Liu Miao.

“Combat is about to begin. Non-combat personnel, fall back.” Hao Jingye straightened and led them farther back again.

They stopped at a safe distance where they would not interfere.

Sheng An said, “Don’t rush. We don’t need you for now.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Qin Xuan and issued the first order-

“Qin Xuan, use Prophecy on the Mutant Plant. Zhuang Fan, Song Linwei, assist him.”

Qin Xuan had already put down his lollipop a moment ago. At this moment, his black-grape-like eyes grew darker and darker, beginning to flicker as his Rules and Order Type Prophecy Supernatural Ability activated.

Song Linwei poured all of his Supernatural Ability into Qin Xuan’s body.

Zhuang Fan still wore his aloof expression as he opened his mouth. “Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit…”
