Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 22
“Ah-”
Song Linlin screamed and rushed to the window.
The Song family members all changed their expressions.
“Li Xin, get back here!” Song Linwei shouted, his face pale.
But it was no use.
Li Xin had already jumped out of the window.
“Ah!”
Song Mother was so frightened that her vision went black, and she nearly fainted on the spot.
Song Linwei also rushed to the window and looked down.
Song Linwei knew Li Xin’s abilities. Jumping out of the window, he could use the metal guardrails on each floor outside to smoothly slide down to the ground.
As long as there was metal, he could use it, so he had nothing to fear.
Of course, even if he fell straight down from the seventeenth floor, with his invulnerable “Diamond Body,” he wouldn’t die from the fall.
The scene just looked terrifying.
But the problem was-
It was broad daylight!
The damn apocalypse hadn’t even started yet!!
Song Linwei was about to lose it.
Below, that golden figure looked like a gecko, twisting and turning, making his way down the outer wall, getting farther and farther away…
Song Linlin clutched his sleeve, her arm trembling violently. “What do we do? Linwei, what do we do?!”
Song Linwei took a deep breath, his face pale. “Go after him.”
Jumping down like that in broad daylight was sure to attract a lot of attention.
Li Xin even said he wanted to save the world?
Who knew what else he might do!
Song Linwei dashed out the door.

“Li Xin’s family lives on the seventeenth floor of Building Nine. Since yesterday, they’ve stayed home, only going out in shifts to buy some supplies, nothing else,” Hao Jingye said as he walked.
Sheng An walked beside him, carrying a suitcase.
The Song family already knew about the coming apocalypse. Faced with the end of the world, ordinary people had no means to cope.
Stockpiling some food and supplies was the simplest instinctive reaction.
They had little storage space at home, so they didn’t buy much.
As if thinking of something, Sheng An quickened her pace.
“Let’s hurry. Song Linwei learned about the apocalypse the night before last and notified the Song family to discuss it yesterday. From yesterday to today, Li Xin has been holding it in for a whole day-he could cause a scene at any moment.”
At first glance, the Song family seemed like a very harmonious household.
Grandpa and Grandma were highly educated intellectuals, still teaching at the university.
The parents were formidable businesspeople, dominating the business world.
Even the uncle was an accomplished researcher, busy with work…
A family like this could easily overlook the child.
Yesterday, after confirming that Li Xin was a Metal-type Superpower User, Sheng An had reviewed Li Xin’s file in detail. She didn’t find much else, but his grades… were a complete mess.
With such outstanding relatives, the pressure was imaginable.
And usually, pressure breeds rebellion.
They had to catch him before he made a big scene.
Hao Jingye’s expression turned serious at her words, and he immediately quickened his pace.
But in the next moment-
“Ah!” Someone cried out in alarm.
At the same time, there was a loud “bang.”
A golden figure landed right in front of Sheng An, only five steps away.
Sheng An stopped.
When the golden figure landed, he put one hand on the ground, half-kneeling.
The scene was full of ceremony, the moment perfect.
“Heh, who can stop me?”
Amid the cries of alarm, the teenager spoke, his tone arrogant, brimming with confidence and excitement, his blood boiling.
He looked up, meeting Sheng An’s gaze five steps away.
Sheng An looked at him, motionless.
Li Xin grinned, slowly standing up under Sheng An’s gaze.
At that moment, he felt himself rising higher and higher, becoming brave and powerful, more dazzling than any superhero in the movies.
-Was this woman mesmerized by him?
However, there was no scream, no shock, not even a question.
The young woman standing face-to-face with him rubbed her forehead, looking exasperated, as if she had a headache. Her gaze at him was extremely complicated.
This reaction…
Li Xin was taken aback, bewildered. “You’re not afraid?”
Sheng An took a deep breath, looked at him, and spoke slowly, “Li Xin, why are you up so early instead of sleeping?”
A bit late.
This kid got up much earlier today than usual.
But fortunately, it was still in time.
Li Xin: “?”
That was a strange question.
Just listening to the latter part, it sounded almost crazy, but-
Li Xin: “You know me?!”
He looked down at himself. His whole body was wrapped in dazzling golden light, covered tightly. Even his uncle hadn’t recognized him at first glance-how did this woman recognize him?
And how did she know him?
Also-
Li Xin: “Who are you?”
Sheng An smiled slightly. “Your future boss.”
Even through the dazzling golden mask, it was clear that Li Xin was confused and bewildered.
At this age, having gained powerful ‘superpowers,’ he was at the stage of ‘Heaven is first, Earth is second, and I’m third.’ Suddenly, a woman appeared and said-she was his boss.
Li Xin still wanted to say those three words:
“Who are you?”
The first time was confusion, but this time it was doubt and displeasure.
Is she crazy?
He immediately ignored Sheng An and lifted his foot to leave.
Sheng An blocked his way.
The sixteen-year-old boy was tall, even taller than Sheng An, and now, wrapped in golden light and wearing a helmet, he looked even bigger.
But standing in front of him, Sheng An was not intimidated at all. Instead, she exuded an aura that demanded respect.
She took out an ID badge from her pocket, held it up, and said calmly, “Team Leader of the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department, Sheng An.”
Li Xin was slightly stunned, then suddenly understood.
So she was with the government!
“So what? Don’t block my way, move aside,” Li Xin said carelessly, shouting.
Grandpa…
Hao Jingye’s mouth twitched.
Sheng An showed no reaction, still looking at him with a calm expression. “Li Xin, come with us.”
She took a piece of paper from Hao Jingye’s hand and held it up for Li Xin to see. “This is your arrest warrant.”
Li Xin: “???”
He laughed angrily, his tone arrogant. “You want to arrest me? Dream on! You don’t have what it takes!”
With that, he pushed off with his feet, leaping up and sticking to the outer wall of the building.
In the distance, someone cried out in surprise.
Li Xin looked down at Sheng An. His mask hid his expression, but his tone was full of arrogance-
“Hahaha, come on, arrest me if you can!”
Sheng An still stood where she was, unmoving, watching him.
Just as Li Xin thought she was helpless, the surrounding SWAT officers had already raised their guns, forming a perimeter around Building Nine and the adjacent Building Ten.
Rows of black gun barrels were aimed at him.
Li Xin’s heart skipped a beat.
But then, he became even more smug. “You think guns can threaten me? Hahaha, I’m not afraid!”
Without hesitation, he grabbed the metal guardrails on the building and climbed upward like a gecko.
He wasn’t afraid at all!
He was even provoking Sheng An and the others!
Below, someone fired in his direction.
“Bang bang bang!”
The gunshots were silenced, but the bullets struck the metal, making a noise.
It didn’t affect him in the slightest.
Above, Li Xin kept climbing, laughing as he went:
“Hahaha, I’m Iron Man with an indestructible body! Your weapons are useless against me. You weak humans, don’t waste my time-I have a world to save!”
Bullets really were useless against him!
Hao Jingye’s expression grew serious.
No wonder this kid was so arrogant-he really did have some skills.
But Sheng An remained calm throughout, not at all surprised that the bullets were ineffective.
She narrowed her eyes at Li Xin, then slowly raised her hand, put on her goggles, and took something out of the box she was carrying.
At this moment, Li Xin had already climbed to the tenth floor.
He was reveling in the strength of his superpower and the government’s helplessness against him.
