Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 37

Doomsday Countdown: 15 days.

Early in the morning, Sheng An left with Hao Jingye, while Song Linwei stayed at the camp to handle internal affairs and continue screening for Deviants.

“After contacting the other party yesterday, he was very proactive and suggested arranging the meeting in Jing City,” Hao Jingye reported. “Also-”

His voice abruptly stopped.

He saw Qiu Yu, who was also preparing to leave.

Qiu Yu wasn’t alone; she brought her assistant Gu Cheng, as well as Lou Mingwei and Geng Leqian.

Lou Mingwei’s arm was still in a sling, clearly showing that Sheng An hadn’t gone easy on him yesterday.

Both sides noticed each other.

Their eyes met, and Lou Mingwei’s expression instantly turned ugly.

Sheng An nodded calmly, as if nothing had happened, and walked toward the parking area.

Lou Mingwei couldn’t hold back and called out, “Team Leader Sheng, where are you headed?”

Hao Jingye imitated Sheng An’s emotionless smile: “Group B’s business doesn’t need to be reported to Group A, does it? But you all-didn’t you have to write self-criticisms? Are they finished?”

Lou Mingwei clenched his good hand, his eyes full of anger.

Geng Leqian stepped forward gently and said:

“Don’t mind Brother Lou. He has a bad temper, but he’s actually concerned about you all. Deviants all have special circumstances and aren’t easy to subdue, but Team Leader Qiu’s superpower is quite unique. If Team Leader Sheng needs help, we can assist.”

It sounded gentle, but was actually full of barbs.

She was implying Sheng An was inferior to Qiu Yu!

Hao Jingye sneered, “No need to trouble yourselves. Team Leader Sheng has never failed before-surely Team Leader Qiu knows that well.”

“True, there haven’t been failures, but things don’t seem to be going smoothly, do they?”

Gu Cheng glanced at Hao Jingye, then looked away and continued, “After all, Group B’s strength is a bit lacking. Why not just merge the two groups? Team Leader Qiu’s superpower is very practical and would help manage the Special Affairs Division better.”

As assistants, when their leaders were at odds, naturally they didn’t get along either.

On the surface, both sides seemed peaceful, but in reality, they were attacking each other.

Hao Jingye forced a smile: “You say our group is weak, so it is? Since when is strength measured by the number of Superpower Users?”

Lou Mingwei suddenly laughed, lifting his chin and looking at them with disdain: “It was my mistake to act without permission yesterday…”

Hao Jingye was stunned.

Lou Mingwei, with his personality, could apologize?

And who apologizes with such a contemptuous face?

Sure enough, the next moment he said, “But, since this is the Special Affairs Division, and most of us are Superpower Users, naturally we should learn from each other. Last night, we reported to the higher-ups, and Elder Li said that as long as both sides agree, we can have a sparring match.”

He emphasized the last four words, as if he’d already crushed them, his tone both expectant and malicious.

Hearing this, Hao Jingye’s heart sank.

A sparring match…

Their group really didn’t have the advantage.

Other than Li Xin, there were currently no other combat-capable Superpower Users. Even if Li Wanyun returned, her combat ability was unknown.

But Group A had quite a few Superpower Users.

Sheng An smiled faintly and walked over.

Her steps were quick, her aura powerful, and the sense of oppression hit instantly.

She walked straight toward Lou Mingwei.

Almost instinctively, Lou Mingwei took a sharp step back, shrinking his neck, his eyes wary and fearful.

Sheng An tilted her head, looking a bit innocent: “Why are you dodging? I’m just going to drive.”

With that, she pressed the car key, and the car next to her beeped.

Lou Mingwei: “…”

Damn!

His heart skipped a beat.

She did it on purpose!

But the fact that he was startled and stepped back was already embarrassing.

Regret and annoyance instantly flooded Lou Mingwei.

Meanwhile, Hao Jingye grinned, trotted over, opened the passenger door on the other side, his face beaming with victory.

Lou Mingwei stiffened his neck, gritted his teeth, and said word by word:

“Wait! Team Leader Sheng, you haven’t answered about the sparring match. When can our two groups have a go?”

Sheng An stood by the car door, looking at Motor Lou Mingwei.

Lou Mingwei sneered: “What? Afraid? Your group only has one combat Superpower User. Is Team Leader Sheng planning to be overprotective?”

After suffering a loss to Sheng An yesterday, he hadn’t learned his lesson; instead, his resentment deepened.

Even being startled just now only made him more eager to regain face.

Hao Jingye curled his lip.
Such an obvious provocation.

But-

If the higher-ups have already agreed to let them spar occasionally, it’s really hard to refuse.

If you keep refusing, doesn’t that just show you’re afraid of them?

But how could they possibly beat Group A?

While Hao Jingye was lost in thought, Sheng An glanced at Lou Mingwei, who was stepping closer and closer.

He was provoking her, so naturally, the distance between them was very close.

At such a close distance…

Sheng An asked curiously, “How’s your injury?”

“Huh?” Lou Mingwei was stunned, then his expression turned ugly, and he gritted his teeth. “It’s… fine. Superpower Users have much better physical fitness than ordinary people. This little injury-ow-”

A pig-like scream echoed out.

Sheng An pinched his fractured hand and gave it a shake. Lou Mingwei was instantly in too much pain to make a sound.

The hand that had just been healed… was now even worse.

“Oh dear, looks like it’s not healed yet. As for sparring, this Thunder Element friend, you’d better recover first.” Sheng An smiled faintly.

Then she got into the car, waved at the three of them, and said, “We’re off. Goodbye.”

The car drove away.

Only the pained Lou Mingwei and Geng Leqian, who was supporting him, were left.

“Team Leader Sheng really doesn’t hold back!”

Qiu Yu ignored Geng Leqian and watched Sheng An’s car disappear into the distance, her gaze dark and unreadable.

In the car.

Hao Jingye was speechless. “Lou Mingwei is like he’s got a screw loose. He just got beaten up yesterday, and today he’s at it again. Team Leader Qiu isn’t stupid either, so why does she let him run wild?”

Sheng An drove, her expression calm and unruffled. “They’re not stupid.”

Hao Jingye looked at her in confusion.

“The apocalypse is getting closer. What the country needs is the full strength of the Special Affairs Division. Having two Team Leaders is a result of the current situation, not the best outcome-especially when the two Team Leaders don’t get along.”

“If the people below start fighting and the conflict escalates, then between Qiu Yu and me, one of us will definitely have to be removed. Qiu Yu letting Group A stir up trouble is just forcing the higher-ups to make a choice.”

Sheng An saw it all very clearly.

Hao Jingye grew anxious. “So Qiu Yu is confident that if it comes down to a choice, she’ll be the one they keep? Because she can control Superpower Users?”

“Her power is indeed very useful,” Sheng An replied blandly.

Hao Jingye let out a long sigh, a bit helpless. “At a time like this, they’re still scheming against each other…”

Sheng An said, “It’s normal. As long as it doesn’t affect the bigger picture, wherever there are people, there will be disputes.”

Especially since it’s Qiu Yu-the Qiu Yu who’s always wanted to beat Sheng An.

Hao Jingye sighed. “Even if it doesn’t really matter, and the one suffering is the other side, it’s still annoying to watch Lou Mingwei act up all the time. If only someone with stronger powers than him would show up.”

People like Sheng An and Qi Dui can handle Lou Mingwei, but he clearly refuses to accept it, relying on his own power.

From what we can see, among Superpower Users, the Thunder Element is really strong.

It probably takes someone with even stronger powers to shut him up for good.

But finding someone like that isn’t easy.

Sheng An said, “Let’s talk about the person we’re meeting today.”

Hao Jingye immediately put aside his other thoughts and focused on work.

“The college student we’re meeting today is named Zhang Jialiang. He’s a local from Shi City, his family has some assets, and he’s studying at university in Jing City. The day before yesterday, he took his girlfriend to stay at a mountain guesthouse, but left her there and returned to the city that same day. Yesterday morning, he went to the police station-”

*

Meanwhile.

Zhang Jialiang had already arrived at the Beijing Public Security Bureau Headquarters and was sitting in a meeting room, waiting for the person he was supposed to meet.

He was clearly a bit anxious, but also excited and nervous.

A police officer came in to pour water.

Zhang Jialiang asked, “What kind of clearance does the person I’m meeting have? What level are they?”

The officer didn’t know and shook his head.

Zhang Jialiang looked a little disappointed.

At that moment, the Bureau Chief came in from outside, his face stern and his voice serious. “The person coming to see you has very high clearance. You’d better really have something important to say.”

Zhang Jialiang gripped his phone tightly, sat up straight, and replied earnestly, “Of course. I can guarantee that what I have to say is extremely, extremely important.”

He wasn’t just an eyewitness-he had solid evidence!

Right now, Zhang Jialiang could only hope that the person he was about to meet would be open-minded enough not to be scared by what he had to say.

“They’re here,” someone reported from the doorway.

The Bureau Chief immediately went out.

Zhang Jialiang grew even more nervous, his palm sweating as he gripped his phone.
