Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 53

Long Tianyu: “…”

He never expected that this would be the reason!

He was completely dazed.

Zhang Jialiang had already left.

His purpose in coming was to see the “ghost” and, by the way, to beg Sheng An to let him join the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department.

It was obvious Sheng An and Long Tianyu had things to discuss, so he tactfully waited outside.

Long Tianyu sat blankly on the bed, not coming back to his senses for a long time.

Sheng An sat lazily in the chair beside him, leaning back. Qi Lingwu stood silently behind her, his presence exerting an overwhelming pressure on everyone else.

Sheng An spoke: “Stealing from the national warehouse, Long Tianyu, you really have some nerve.”

Long Tianyu snapped out of it and sneered:

“You know quite a lot, and you’ve investigated us thoroughly. Since you know the Apocalypse is coming, how can you say something so naive?

“When the Apocalypse arrives, all those supplies will be completely destroyed. By taking them in advance, we’re actually helping the country preserve more resources. What’s wrong with that?”

Sheng An’s expression was blank: “Shi City will be struck by a meteorite, so you just help yourself to a zero-cost shopping spree?”

Long Tianyu was shocked: “You know?!”

Sheng An: “I told you, we know a lot. The experts are calculating where the meteorites will hit. In thirteen days, they’ll determine the places suitable for human survival, and we’re already moving supplies underground. What you’re trying to steal is still national property-the future rations of countless people.”

Those things are not ownerless, nor will they be destroyed in the Apocalypse. Taking them is theft, and you have no right to justify it.

Long Tianyu pressed his lips together.

After a while, he asked, “What else do you know?”

He was probing.

Sheng An didn’t hide anything and said directly, “Your superpowers, the Apocalypse, the end times, disasters, Aberrants, and even… your past life.”

Long Tianyu: “!”

He gritted his teeth and cursed, “Those two must have betrayed me!”

Traitors!

He’d thought of them as his future teammates, the foundation of the Ghostly Ability Group, but before the Apocalypse even arrived, the three of them had already fallen apart.

Oh, no.

The entire Ghostly Ability Group had been wiped out.

Sheng An extended her hand, her expression serious: “Let me formally introduce myself. I’m Sheng An, Team Leader of Group B, Apocalypse Special Affairs Department. Welcome to our team.”

Long Tianyu wanted to reach out.

But his hand paused, and he sneered, “What if I refuse?”

Sheng An narrowed her eyes, looking at him dangerously.

Long Tianyu: “Don’t threaten me. Since the country knows the Apocalypse is coming, they should understand the importance of Superpower Users. I’m not an ordinary Aberrant-I awakened early and already possess advanced abilities.”

He looked at Sheng An, a smug smile on his lips: “The country won’t kill me.”

Everything so far had proven this point.

The country’s attitude toward them was strict, but never annihilative.

Long Tianyu was confident.

Sheng An said nothing, only narrowed her eyes and stared at him.

For some reason, Long Tianyu suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

But he shook his head, dismissing the feeling, and continued smugly, “Don’t think you’re invincible just because you have weapons. In the Apocalypse, manpower is the most helpless thing. Ordinary people simply can’t survive-only Superpower Users have a chance.”

“As a high-level Superpower User, I can play a huge role in the Apocalypse. How could you bear to kill me?” The more Long Tianyu spoke, the more pleased he became.

He even shook his leg.

But his foot hurt too much, so he grimaced and quickly regained his composure.

Sheng An looked at him and slowly withdrew her hand.

Her voice was calm: “So, you’re sure you won’t join us?”

Hao Jingye immediately stood up, shrinking into a corner.

-It’s over, Sister Sheng is angry.

Long Tianyu, oblivious, chuckled: “Not necessarily. I said before, unless you agree to my three conditions.”
How could he, a powerful Superpower User, possibly submit to anyone?

The first thing he demanded from the country was to let him be the boss.

To be this woman’s boss!

By then, let’s see what this woman would do?

He could hardly wait to see the expression on her face after he stated his terms…

She was always so indifferent; it was time for her to show a different face.

Sheng An spoke softly, “I’ve already told you, I refuse.”

Long Tianyu’s smile faded, and he snorted coldly, “Then there’s nothing to talk about! If you want me to join, you must agree to these three cond-”

Sheng An: “Kill him!”

Her gaze was icy, her voice sharp, utterly devoid of emotion.

Qi Lingwu drew his gun without hesitation.

“Bang-”

From drawing to firing, less than a second!

Inside the room, a clatter of crashing sounds erupted as Long Tianyu suddenly moved, knocking over the IV stand and other equipment onto the floor.

Long Tianyu: “!”

His face was filled with terror.

If not for the countless life-and-death crises in his previous life, he wouldn’t have dodged that shot just now!

They really intended to kill him!

Long Tianyu raised his hand to his neck. At this moment, under the threat of death, he ignored the pain in his limbs. His bandaged hand touched the warm blood streaming from his neck.

So close…

If not for the combat instincts from his past life, if not for his body’s retained crisis sense, if not for his short-range teleportation, he would have been dead for sure!

Thump thump thump-

Long Tianyu could hear his own heartbeat almost pounding out of his chest, his hands and feet trembling uncontrollably.

Before he could steady himself, before he could even see the scene clearly-

“Click!”

The moment this sound rang out, he screamed, “I’ll join!!”

Qi Lingwu’s gun was already pressed to his forehead.

Sheng An stood coldly opposite him, the killing intent on her face utterly unmasked and real.

Hearing his words, she shot him a cold glance, then turned to leave.

Her long legs strode out as Sheng An’s voice, hoarse and icy, rang out: “Hao Jingye, take him for treatment, then register him.”

As her words fell, she was already out of the hospital room.

Qi Lingwu had also left with her.

Inside the room, Long Tianyu remained in shock for a long time.

Hao Jingye blinked, then entered work mode: “Long Tianyu, welcome to Group B of the Apocalypse Special Affairs Department. I’m Assistant Hao Jingye. Come, I’ll take you to treat your wounds now. After you’re stabilized, we’ll do the formal registration.”

Long Tianyu stiffly turned his head, “Stabilized?”

He still hadn’t recovered, his heart nearly bursting from his chest, his mind buzzing.

Just now-

He had brushed past death twice.

He was certain that if he had said ‘I’ll join’ a second later-no, even half a second later-he would be dead.

-That woman really meant to kill him.

He lowered his head stiffly and found his chest soaked in blood, the wound on his neck even more severe than he had imagined. And at this moment, he actually felt nothing…

Long Tianyu’s voice was hoarse: “Who is she, really?”

Hao Jingye looked at him with admiration, “She already told you. Her name is Sheng An. Our Sister Sheng.”

The last two words were spoken with great pride.

Long Tianyu murmured, “Sheng An.”

A woman like that…

He hadn’t seen one like her in two lifetimes.

Clutching his bleeding neck, drenched in sweat and pale-faced, he smiled.

“This woman is truly interesting,” he said slowly, eyes full of intrigue, a wicked smile on his lips. He raised his hand and wiped away the blood splattered at the corner of his mouth.

“Don’t get any ideas. Our Sister Sheng is already taken,” Hao Jingye said disdainfully, glancing at him.

Long Tianyu’s wicked smile froze, then he gritted his teeth, “Who? Who dares steal the woman I fancy?!”

Hao Jingye smiled faintly, “The one who almost shot you.”

Long Tianyu: “???”
