Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 46

Doomsday Countdown: 13 days.

The small team was getting ready to set out for their “operation”-to take away the large stock of meat stored in the national cold storage.

Long Tianyu was determined: “With the experience from last time, this time we’ll be even smoother. Quick and decisive-the goal is to clear out the cold storage.”

Zhang Kun nodded emphatically.

Ke Jiaxue couldn’t hide her excitement, her tone lively: “Brother Long, Brother Zhang, don’t we look like heroes from TV? Scaling walls, doing the impossible, easily taking away national supplies and leaving the authorities helpless?”

Zhang Kun said, “The officials aren’t just helpless-they don’t even know about us.”

He rubbed his hands together and gave a shy smile, “The old me wouldn’t have dared to imagine that one day I’d have superpowers, so strong.”

Long Tianyu didn’t say anything, but his eyes clearly agreed.

Who could have thought they’d become so powerful?

Those bizarre scenes from TV and novels were now playing out in real life.

And they were the main cast!

Long Tianyu smiled, lifted his chin, cleared his throat, and put on a steady face-

“Let’s go. We’ll stop by the breakfast shop first and grab something to eat. We’ll have breakfast in the car and head straight to our destination.”

Ke Jiaxue paused for a moment.

Then she gave an embarrassed smile: “Brother Long, Brother Zhang, do you guys… still have any money? I spent all mine on renting the car and buying gas.”

With that one sentence, their soaring momentum instantly collapsed.

Long Tianyu’s proudly raised head drooped a little.

He lowered his voice: “I spent the last of my money yesterday renting the warehouse.”

Zhang Kun gave a wry smile: “Me too. I used it all to buy train tickets yesterday.”

Why did his space only ever leech off the state, and nothing else?

Of course-because he was broke!

Couldn’t afford anything.

Long Tianyu: “…”

After a moment of silence, he asked Ke Jiaxue, “Not even a little? Huabei, Baitiao?”

Ke Jiaxue lowered her head: “I-I-I used it all to pay off my credit card at the start of the month.”

Zhang Kun rummaged in his pocket for a long time and finally pulled out… five yuan.

Long Tianyu: “That’s enough. Let’s just buy a few steamed buns.”

Ke Jiaxue hesitated: “Brother Long, grain prices have gone up. Now it’s three yuan for one bun, five for two. It’s not enough.”

Long Tianyu: “??”

He took a deep breath and after a while said, “Then buy two. We’ll make do for now.”

At this, the three looked at each other.

-For some reason, they suddenly felt a bit pathetic?

Ke Jiaxue shook her head, pushing the strange thought away, her voice firm: “We have a whole warehouse of food, and soon we’ll have a whole space full of meat.”

“Right,” Zhang Kun reassured himself, “When doomsday comes, we’ll be as rich as a nation!”

Long Tianyu regained his confidence, chin lifted-

“Compared to all the supplies and our powerful abilities, what does anything else matter? Money is just paper. When doomsday hits, it’ll be worthless. Let’s set out now and collect the most precious resources for doomsday!”

The three, full of confidence, rushed to the breakfast shop and bought… two steamed buns.

After getting in the car.

Zhang Kun handed both buns to Long Tianyu.

Long Tianyu was about to split one in half for him.

Zhang Kun grinned and pulled out another bun.

“I managed to snag an extra one.”

“!”

Long Tianyu looked at the bun, his feelings complicated.
-Is space used to steal a steamed bun?

-Something just feels off about this.

Long Tianyu said, “Zhang Kun, in the apocalypse, it’s best not to use your Space Ability to steal food from other Superpower Users.”

“Huh? Why?” Zhang Kun was eating with relish, looking up in confusion.

Long Tianyu replied, “When a Space Ability user is beaten to the brink of death, some of the supplies in their space will drop. If a Space Ability user dies, all the supplies inside their space will drop…”

This means that Space Ability users are the targets of Superpower Users who lack food!

Zhang Kun was startled, suddenly unable to eat his steamed bun.

“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you. Besides, it’s still before the apocalypse,” Long Tianyu added.

Zhang Kun immediately felt a bit more at ease.

He was timid and sensible, deciding to cling tightly to Brother Long to avoid being killed for his food.

“Food is nothing! Just think about the supplies we’ve stockpiled,” Ke Jiaxue bit into her steamed bun fiercely.

Long Tianyu and Zhang Kun both smiled.

Thinking about their stockpiles and today’s plan, even the tasteless steamed bun became delicious.

Not far away.

A burly man slapped his son, who was watching intently-

“What are you staring at? Never seen someone eat a steamed bun?”

His son withdrew his gaze and scratched his head:

“They’re so weird. They look all arrogant with their chins up, but each has a white steamed bun and they’re eating it with such gusto.”

The man roared, “Hurry up and get to school! I’m telling you, if you don’t study hard, you’ll end up like those three punks, eating steamed buns without any side dishes…”

The son pouted and took a big bite of his sandwich.

Meanwhile, before the trio left home.

The Apocalypse Special Affairs Department had already sprung into action early.

Apocalypse Special Affairs Department camp.

Early in the morning, Sheng An put on her combat uniform and headed out with Hao Jingye and Song Linwei.

Jiang Yu and Li Xin clung to Sheng An’s legs from either side, pleading-

“Sis! Take us with you!”

“Please, take us with you, boohoo!”

Sheng An tried to move her legs, but the two held on tightly.

She kept a straight face, “No classes today?”

Li Xin: “Nope!”

Jiang Yu: “I’ll make up for it tonight if I have to, but I want to go!”

How could they not go today?

This was a showdown with three Deviants.

And unlike before, these Deviants were tricky-there might even be a fight.

Background checks showed that Long Tianyu was raised by his grandparents, but they had already passed away.

Ke Jiaxue’s parents favored sons over daughters, and her family relations were poor.

Zhang Kun was an orphan straight out of the welfare institute.

In other words, three loners.

To subdue people like this, force was the only way.

Whether it was the curious Jiang Yu or the self-proclaimed awesome Li Xin, neither wanted to miss the scene-they insisted on tagging along.

Song Linwei frowned, “Don’t cause trouble for Team Leader Sheng.”

Li Xin bared his teeth but didn’t dare talk back to his uncle.

Jiang Yu retorted directly, “You usually stay at the camp, but aren’t you coming along today too? You want to watch the show, so why lecture us?”

Song Linwei: “…”

Sheng An glanced at them and sighed, “Let’s go.”

“Oh yeah!” The two cheered with joy.

She smiled slightly, “If either of you causes trouble for me, your classes will double and forget about leaving the camp again.”

The two straightened up, backs stiff, “Yes!”
