Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 51

In an instant, both of their pupils contracted, their faces pale as paper.

It’s over!

The country really knows everything!

Behind them, Qi Lingwu raised his hand, the dark muzzle of his gun aimed at them, as if he might pull the trigger at any moment.

Zhang Kun collapsed into his seat.

Ke Jiaxue’s eyes reddened, her legs visibly trembling.

Sheng An’s tone shifted, and she smiled slightly: “Of course, if you cooperate fully, join our Apocalypse Special Affairs Department, and obediently follow our arrangements, then-”

Apocalypse Special Affairs Department?!

The country even knows about the apocalypse!

-Damn, is there anything the country doesn’t know?

The two were dazed, almost questioning their own existence.

Sheng An said, “Zhang Kun helps the country transport goods, Ke Jiaxue assists him, it’s only natural.”

She paused, then gently asked, “What do you think?”

The two: “…”

Do they even have the right to refuse?

As if she knew what they were thinking, Sheng An said quietly, “Helping the country transport goods makes you a member of our Special Affairs Department, and you’ll be favored by the country. But if anyone tries to steal national supplies at such a critical time…”

Hao Jingye: “Special times call for special measures.”

“Click!”

Qi Lingwu loaded the gun.

The two instantly felt their hair stand on end.

Ke Jiaxue forced a stiff smile: “I think it’s great, this is how it should be. We’re helping the country transport goods, we belong to the country. Whatever the country says, we’ll do!”

See? Compared to Long Tianyu, isn’t this much more sensible?

Sheng An’s smile deepened as she looked at Zhang Kun: “And you?”

Zhang Kun glanced at Sheng An’s chilling smile, then at the gun aimed at him, and all the eyes around him…

He swallowed hard: “Y-yes, I’m helping the country transport goods. Once we reach the destination, I’ll unload everything, not keeping a single thing!”

“And what about the Ghost Squad?” Sheng An asked with a half-smile.

Zhang Kun and Ke Jiaxue replied in unison: “There’s no Ghost Squad, only the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department!”

Damn.

The country really knows everything!!

It’s terrifying.

Sheng An: “Space Lord?”

Zhang Kun sat up straight, raising his voice: “Doesn’t exist. I’m just the national warehouse, moving things wherever needed.”

Sheng An: “Future Water God?”

Ke Jiaxue replied earnestly: “I’m the country’s mobile water source. At Sister Sheng’s command, I’ll release water immediately.”

Sheng An nodded in satisfaction.

She turned to Jiang Yu and Li Xin: “Look at them, so cooperative with our work. You two should learn from them.”

Jiang Yu & Li Xin: “…”

-Thanks, with Qi Dui’s gun aimed at your head, anyone would be very cooperative.

“Alright, let’s continue with your statements.”

Sheng An rested her hand behind her head, leaning back in her seat. Sunlight streamed in from the window onto her face, making her look like a lazy cat, her expression increasingly relaxed.

Qi Lingwu put away his gun, picked up an orange from nearby, and began peeling it.

The atmosphere instantly eased, and the two let out a long breath.

They began to confess everything-

“Stealing… ah no, transporting grain and meat from the national warehouse was Brother Long-Long Tianyu’s idea! I’m just an ordinary Space Ability User.”

“Yes, Long Tianyu not only has the Flash Step Ability, he’s also a Reborn Person. I’m just an ordinary Water Ability User.”

“I awakened my Space Ability suddenly. I slept and woke up to find I had a space.”

“I was taking a shower when the water stopped. I wanted water, called out twice, and suddenly I could release water myself.”

“Long Tianyu found us. Before us, he seemed to have found other people too, but he didn’t say who. You can ask him about that.”
“Yes, yes, he was a Flash Step Ability user in his previous life. He said we were in our previous lives…”

…

The two not only sold themselves out, but also sold out Long Tianyu, who was currently lying down receiving treatment, leaving nothing behind.

Sheng An ate the peeled tangerine, listening intently, her face thoughtful.

As expected, their speculations were all correct.

*

They returned to the camp amidst the two’s “revelations.”

Everything that needed to be said was already said on the way. Sheng An instructed Hao Jingye to take them for the routine inspection of the building.

From now on, Zhang Kun and Ke Jiaxue were members of the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department.

Very soon, Li Xin was dragged away by his parents for questioning.

Jiang Yu, with a gloomy face, was also taken by Academician Zhou to work in the fields.

Sheng An leaned against the corridor wall, her legs lazily and casually crossed. Qi Lingwu stood beside her.

“Has it been tough these days?” Qi Lingwu asked softly.

Sheng An shook her head. “Compared to the missions I’ve done before, it’s actually a bit easier.”

She paused, then said slowly, “But-there are only 13 days left.”

A seemingly random statement, but Qi Lingwu immediately understood.

“You’re worried there are too few people in the Special Affairs Department,” he went straight to the point.

Sheng An looked up at the ceiling, murmuring, “The country has high hopes for the Special Affairs Department, giving us the highest authority, and unconditionally believing that I can lead the department to play a role on the day the apocalypse arrives.”

It’s trust, but of course, also pressure.

But, there are too few people in the Special Affairs Department, and time is too tight.

In 13 days, a world-class disaster will strike. Just from the fragments spoken by the Reborn Persons, one can imagine it.

It means the immediate destruction of several countries, the extinction of civilization.

What the Special Affairs Department must do is help the country survive as much as possible in such a disaster.

Besides that, there are millions upon millions of ordinary people…

The pressure on Sheng An is self-evident.

Qi Lingwu said nothing. He simply stood firmly by her side.

Because he understood Sheng An. She was stubborn, able to surpass her limits. Any task given to her, she would accomplish at any cost, never failing.

And he would always help her.

Sheng An leaned against the wall, light and shadow playing across her face, half in light, half in darkness.

A perfectly good world, a perfectly good civilization, and suddenly, a meteorite strike is about to happen.

Reborn Persons, Superpower Users who awakened early, future Aberrants…

Countless secrets are hidden within.

It’s as if a giant hand is using humanity as chess pieces, the planet as a chessboard, ruthlessly manipulating them toward an ending already written by the player.

Sheng An smiled, lifting her face, stubbornness and madness in her eyes-

“Qi Lingwu, this time we might have to pull off something big. The more they want us dead, the more we have to survive, and bring even more people with us.”

She refused to play it safe, and even more refused to only care for herself.

Not for some grand cause, but-

She wanted to lead people and fight against fate itself!

The chess game had already begun,

Only death could leave the board.

Qi Lingwu looked at her, his eyes deep and unfathomable, filled with obsession and indulgence.

“Alright.” His voice was steady as ever.

At that moment,

Hao Jingye hurried over, as if he had something urgent to say.

Seeing the expressions of Sheng An and Qi Lingwu, he paused, puzzled: “What’s going on?”

Why did it feel like Sister Sheng had changed?

Sheng An raised her eyebrows, “Why are you in such a hurry?”

At her words, Hao Jingye tossed aside his messy thoughts and quickly said, “Two things. First, Zhang Jialiang came and insists on seeing you. Second, Long Tianyu woke up and also wants to see you.”

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but sigh-

Sister Sheng is really busy, everyone wants to see her.”
