Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 80
Qiu Yu suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned back coldly.
Lou Mingwei: “???”
His eyes widened, and he jumped up on the spot: “You-you-you’re talking nonsense! I never thought that at all!”
Qiu Yu sneered, “Lou Mingwei, I’ve really indulged you too much.”
She raised her hand slightly, then continued walking out.
“No, Team Leader, I really didn’t think that!!” Lou Mingwei’s exclamation grew more distant as his teammates ruthlessly and indifferently dragged him away.
That was Qiu Yu’s order.
Obviously, he was about to get beaten up.
Li Xin was a bit shocked: “Lou Mingwei is really bold.”
Everyone nodded.
After all, Qiu Yu was a Puppet Ability Superpower User, his direct superior. Turns out he not only shouted at Sheng An, but also didn’t submit to Qiu Yu.
Wu Buyu: “Actually, he didn’t think that. I made it up.”
He couldn’t help but sigh: “Whatever that guy’s thinking, it shows right on his face. His thoughts are pretty simple.”
Able to hear people’s thoughts, Wu Buyu was used to those who appeared friendly but were extremely dark inside.
Lou Mingwei was relatively simple.
He belonged to the brainless type-whatever he thought showed on his face. Mind Reading wasn’t even necessary.
A typical case of simple-minded and physically strong.
Everyone: “??”
Several pairs of eyes stared at him, expressions complicated.
Made it up?
Did he have to be so nonchalant?!
Recalling how Lou Mingwei was dragged out just now, everyone gasped in unison.
This guy… is ruthless.
Sheng An glanced at him, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and simply ordered, “Let’s go. Move as soon as possible. Tomorrow we still have to pick up the other three teammates.”
Everyone silently followed, all intentionally or unintentionally keeping a two-meter distance from Wu Buyu.
Only Li Xin was bold enough to walk beside him.
He smiled and patted Wu Buyu’s shoulder:
“Good kid, finally someone to deal with Lou Mingwei. That guy is always jumping around and annoying, but with the apocalypse coming, the Special Affairs Division doesn’t allow infighting. Otherwise, I’d have taken care of him myself. You did great today.”
Wu Buyu lowered his head and smiled, looking very shy and introverted.
Li Xin was curious: “By the way, you’re a birdman, so how do you fight? Yesterday I saw your mouth turn all pointy, it was weird. Honestly, a bit ugly. Can you show me now?”
Wu Buyu looked up and shouted:
“Sister Sheng, Li Xin is thinking you’re a female villain, ruthless and cold-blooded, and he also said-”
Li Xin quickly covered his mouth, his tone urgent: “Bro, I was wrong, I won’t dare again!”
Earlier, Lou Mingwei’s thoughts were fabricated.
But just now, that was no fabrication-that was Li Xin’s real inner voice.
How could he not feel guilty?
Wu Buyu’s face was expressionless.
*
This was the first time the Special Affairs Division members saw the Core Shelter.
It was completely different from before.
Li Wanyun almost didn’t recognize it, her mouth agape, muttering, “Oh my god…”
The villa area didn’t have tall walls; instead, all the fences were removed and replaced with a giant metal outer sphere. The sphere looked like a bowl, covering the entire villa.
When they arrived, the “bowl” was slowly retracting, forming a circle in the middle and shrinking back around the villa area. Clearly, this barrier could be raised and lowered at will.
The silvery metal, full of technological flair, shimmered in the sunlight, exuding a cold yet safe aura, as if they’d instantly traveled to the interstellar age.
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, who would believe something like this could be built in such a short time?
Hao Jingye took a deep breath.
He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his voice calm:
“This is the latest aerospace material-extremely hard, very light, and insulating. It’s not just for the day the meteorite arrives, but also to guard against all future disasters. The Core Shelter is the national hub-it cannot be lost.”
Sheng An looked at Li Xin. “You’re learning how to perform metal modification, right?”
Li Xin nodded in confusion.
Sheng An looked away. “Once you’ve mastered it, the country will need you to modify the entire protective shield. You need to increase the molecular density to reinforce the shield, and at the same time, improve its insulation. Only then will the national center be safe.”
Li Xin paused for a moment, then slowly nodded.
At this moment, he seemed to finally realize the many applications of his superpower, and the real reason why he had to learn this…
It felt a bit heavy, but also resolute.
“What about the other shelters?” Ke Jiaxue asked curiously.
Sheng An said, “Li Xin should reinforce as much as he can. When other metal-type Superpower Users appear, Li Xin’s reinforcement method will be transmitted from the center to all shelters. Each shelter will then use the abilities of their own metal-type Superpower Users for modification.”
Li Xin is the prototype-this has never been mere empty talk.
With an entire research institute supporting him, he must stay ahead of other metal-type Superpower Users, summarize the methods, and save time for those who follow.
The same applies to other Superpower Users.
Li Wanyun looked at the shield being adjusted and sincerely sighed, “Indeed, the power of the state machinery is truly extraordinary.”
Hao Jingye raised his chin. “Let’s go take a look inside.”
He and Sheng An led the others inside, introducing the place as they walked:
“The shelter is divided into East, South, West, and North Districts. The surface only covers the villa area, but underground, it’s much larger than the entire villa zone. We’ve reinforced not only the villas above ground, but all the basements have also been doubly reinforced. They can withstand a magnitude 9 earthquake. The rest will depend on Li Xin.
“The underground East District, South District, and West District are used as warehouses for materials and resources. The North District is the temporary shelter area for the public. Besides this, there are twenty shelter sites throughout Jing City, not only covering the city itself but also extending to the surrounding dangerous areas…”
As he spoke, Li Wanyun and the others widened their eyes at their surroundings.
Indeed, this was completely different from their previous lives.
It was their first time seeing the country as the main force in disaster preparedness, witnessing the true extent of what the state could achieve.
How long had it been?
Barely ten days in total!
Li Wanyun looked at the rows of renovated houses-they were even safer than the fortresses she had built.
All the “fortresses” were equipped with various devices on top. Each house was connected to others in different ways. The outer layer was coated with non-flammable material, small sprayers were installed outside the walls, and temporary emergency shelters were set up along the walkways…
And countless workers were still busy everywhere.
Safe!
That was her first impression upon seeing it.
With her house in a place like this, with such modifications, she no longer had to worry about meteors or fire.
-Oh, but it was no longer her house.
Jiang Yu murmured, “Is this the speed of our country?”
Wan Yuan lifted his chin, pride on his face:
“Yes. In five days, the whole country will be mobilized. Everyone will contribute. By then, you’ll see what true infrastructure speed really means.”
Jiang Yu let out a breath.
At that moment, she suddenly felt grateful that the country had discovered them.
Would this completely different path from her previous life still lead to such a hopeless Apocalypse?
The group walked outside the villa.
Li Wanyun’s villa still retained the look it had after her original modification, except the country had done a second round of upgrades on that foundation.
No matter how much money she had spent before, it was never the same as what the country could do. Some things she simply couldn’t obtain, or had never even seen before.
Even without electricity, this house would remain bright.
Like a lighthouse, never extinguished in the dark night.
Sheng An took out the key and gently opened the sturdy door, sunlight pouring into the room.
She turned back and smiled slightly-
“Everyone, welcome back to our future home.”
