Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 69

Everyone was shocked.

Everyone knows him?!

Just how famous does someone have to be for everyone to know him?

Song Linwei drew in a sharp breath, surprised. “Could it be that, like Qiu Yu, he’s an extremely powerful and terrifying expert who can travel between different bases?”

The last person everyone knew was Qiu Yu.

“Impossible!” Long Tianyu immediately shook his head in denial. “If he were a strong Superpower User, how could I not know him? Besides, I’ve never even heard that name!”

Li Wanyun was taken aback.

Then, she suddenly understood and shook her head. “Right, I forgot you don’t know his real name. His real name is Wu Buyu, but because his nickname is so famous, everyone just calls him by that.”

Long Tianyu frowned. “So who is he, exactly?”

Everyone looked at Li Wanyun with curiosity.

From her reaction, it was clear that this Wu Buyu was no ordinary person.

Li Wanyun said, “He’s not a Superpower User. He’s an Atavistic Mutant.”

Everyone’s breath caught.

Even Sheng An instantly sat up straight.

Atavistic Mutant!

This was the first one they had encountered so far.

Sheng An’s phoenix eyes grew serious. She tapped her fingers lightly on the table, her voice betraying no emotion:

“Tell us in detail.”

Li Wanyun said, “You probably already know that in the Apocalypse, communication between temporary bases is extremely slow. In fact, many temporary bases have no contact with others at all…”

Everyone nodded, signaling for her to continue.

Long Tianyu, impatient, said, “Just tell us who Wu Buyu is. Why are you going on about all this?”

He lifted his chin. “It’s true that it’s hard for bases to contact each other, but because of Flying Mutants, Speed Ability users, and other special Superpower Users, sometimes messages do get through.”

His expression seemed to say-

Whatever you know, I know too.

Li Wanyun shot him a cold look. “If I don’t explain clearly, you might understand, but Sheng An and the others won’t.”

With that, she ignored him and continued:

“Flying Mutants act as messengers, delivering information between bases. Because they travel between bases, the dangers they face are many times greater than those inside the bases, and casualties are heavy.

“Later, a powerful Flying Mutant gathered all the flying mutants across the country and founded the ‘Apocalypse Postal Service.’ They collected information from all the bases, compiled it, and printed the ‘Apocalypse Gazette.’

“They had Flying Mutants sell the gazette at each base in exchange for food, and at the same time handled bounty messaging and bounty investigations. By the second year, the Apocalypse Postal Service had made a name for itself.”

Long Tianyu jumped up and raised his voice. “Damn, Wu Buyu is connected to the Apocalypse Postal Service?!”

Hao Jingye stroked his chin and sighed, “That actually sounds pretty good?”

“Good, my ass!” Long Tianyu and Li Wanyun said in unison.

Long Tianyu shook his head. “The Apocalypse Postal Service was pretty good at first, but the gazette didn’t really earn much food. After all, only a small portion of people in each base would buy it, and the rest just freeloaded.”

Li Wanyun said, “So, the founder of the Apocalypse Postal Service-that powerful Flying Mutant-shifted the focus to bounty messaging and bounty investigations. If you wanted to know news from other bases, or find someone or send a message to another base, you had to offer a high reward.”

Long Tianyu added, “What’s even scarier is that somehow, that person managed to collect information and secrets about all the powerful people, and then sold it at high prices. For a while, almost every strong Superpower User had to spend food to buy their own information, paying huge amounts just to keep the Apocalypse Postal Service from leaking their secrets and weaknesses to others.”

Li Wanyun nodded and sighed, “That founder knew too much gossip and was especially good at organizing information, so people gave him the nickname-Apocalypse Paparazzo. He’s probably the most hated person among all Superpower Users.”
“The Apocalypse Postal Service is really despicable. I’ve wanted to deal with them for ages, but the ‘Apocalypse Paparazzo’ hides too well. There’s no way to find out where that guy actually is!”

Long Tianyu gritted his teeth. “This lifetime, I’m definitely going to kill the ‘Apocalypse Paparazzo’ ahead of time.”

There was a lot of information, and Sheng An and the others listened attentively and patiently.

Li Xin, however, couldn’t hold back. “Li Wanyun, what exactly are you trying to say?”

Why was she going off on such a tangent?

Li Wanyun glanced at him, her tone chilly. “You offended the Apocalypse Paparazzo in your previous life. He exposed a lot of your secrets. For a long time, the entire temporary base in Jing City was filled with your gossip.”

Li Xin jumped up. “You’re talking nonsense!”

Just as a quarrel was about to break out, Sheng An raised her hand, cutting straight to the point: “Wu Buyu is the Apocalypse Paparazzo?”

Li Wanyun nodded. “Yes. I only learned his name by chance.”

Long Tianyu: “!”

He was completely stunned. “What?”

-Wu Buyu is that Apocalypse Paparazzo, the leader of the Apocalypse Postal Service?

The next moment, Long Tianyu grew serious.

He looked at Sheng An with rare earnestness. “If it’s him, you’d better not try to recruit him into the Special Affairs Division. That guy is eccentric, has a bizarre personality, lacks any sense of morality, and is the best at uncovering secrets. He’s definitely not a good teammate.”

Sheng An neither agreed nor disagreed.

Her hand, which had been tapping on the table, suddenly stopped. She slowly revealed a smile. “No matter what his personality is, we’ve already found him now, haven’t we?”

Everyone was taken aback.

That’s true. Wu Buyu had become a mutant, and he was surely hiding carefully, trying not to be discovered.

But they had a Reborn Person. Knowing his name meant knowing everything about him.

-Wu Buyu was instantly exposed, and all his cards were laid bare.

-Things he didn’t even know about himself, they already knew.

Long Tianyu: “That guy really isn’t a suitable teammate. He’s two-faced and not trustworthy!”

Sheng An looked at him, her tone calm. “We don’t necessarily have to trust him.”

Long Tianyu’s eyes grew confused.

Qi Lingwu lifted his gaze, his voice hoarse. “A Flying Mutant is very useful, and he can uncover countless secrets. He might have more than just the ability to fly.”

More than one ability-at this critical moment before the Apocalypse, that could be even more valuable.

Sheng An’s face showed no emotion, her demeanor light and unhurried. “Right now, I just need his cooperation.”

Trust isn’t something that can be built in the short term.

What she needed now wasn’t Wu Buyu’s trust, but his abilities.

No matter what means were used, as long as he could play his part when the Apocalypse arrived, that was enough.

Sheng An and Qi Lingwu exchanged a glance, seeing the same intention in each other’s eyes.

The two of them smiled at each other.

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

Sheng An tapped the table and smiled slightly. “We’ll talk about Wu Buyu tomorrow. First, investigate him, then make a plan. Li Wanyun, Long Tianyu, tonight, let’s have a good chat.”

Long Tianyu curled his lip. “I’ve already told you everything I know.”

With that, he sat on the table, feet propped on a chair, looking very casual.

Li Wanyun rolled her eyes and sat beside Sheng An.

“Ask away, I’ll cooperate.” Li Wanyun took the water Hao Jingye handed her and nodded. “Thanks.”

It was already very late.

Li Xin and the others, having finished their classes, hurried over.

Just as they stepped into the room, they heard Sheng An ask, “Li Wanyun, where did you learn your techniques?”
