Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 89

Chapter 89

The perpetrator had been identified, and the crisis at Lin’an Residential Complex was temporarily resolved. The child was rushed for emergency treatment, and the arm Li Wanyun had severed from the Aberrant was collected and sent to the Research Institute.

The captain stayed behind with the police officers to handle the aftermath and reassure the residents.

Meanwhile, Sheng An and the others ushered a bewildered Ruan Zifeng, who had just arrived, into the car.

Wu Buyu’s Supernatural Ability had not yet recovered, making the car the most convenient mode of transport.

“What on earth happened?” Ruan Zifeng asked.

Sheng An gestured for Song Linwei to explain. She closed her eyes slightly, as if resting.

By the time the explanation was finished, Ruan Zifeng looked dazed.

Group B…

Had they all run into Aberrants?

On Hao Jingye’s laptop screen, several streams of information were being synchronized and relayed in real time:

“The Aberrant is fleeing south. He’s smart-he seems to know where the surveillance cameras are and is avoiding them as he runs. I can only lock onto his general location.”

“He showed up again. Direction: South Lake Park.”

“Huh? Long Tianyu and Gu Qiansheng’s signal lights are flashing. Why are they coming back?”

Hao Jingye rolled up his sleeves and pulled out his phone. “I’ll contact them.”

It took several tries before the call finally went through. When Long Tianyu was using Flash, his phone couldn’t connect.

After he got through to them, there wasn’t much to say. The two of them waited by the roadside along the car’s route, tucked into an unnoticed corner.

The police car passed. The two men were already gone.

Once Long Tianyu sat down, he panted hard. “Damn it-Gu Qiansheng is a useless piece of trash! I wasted so much Supernatural Ability for nothing!”

Everyone froze, then immediately looked at them.

The two were in rough shape. Long Tianyu, especially, was covered in injuries; if not for a Superpower User’s tough physique, he’d be in serious danger. Gu Qiansheng was a bit better, but he was hurt too.

Even worse were their expressions.

Almost on instinct, Zhang Kun asked, “It doesn’t spread, right? They won’t turn into Aberrants?”

Li Wanyun rolled her eyes. “I told you, it’s Aberrants, not zombies. It doesn’t spread.”

“So what happened?” Hao Jingye pressed. “You didn’t catch up? Or-”

Gu Qiansheng tightened his lips. “Long Tianyu got me to him. But my Supernatural Ability didn’t work on him.”

His Supernatural Ability only worked on people whose Supernatural Ability was weaker than his.

That Aberrant was stronger than him.

Everyone’s mood sank.

Long Tianyu cursed nonstop. “Your Supernatural Ability is garbage! We needed you because he was strong, and you ended up being completely useless!”

Gu Qiansheng’s face darkened, but he didn’t argue. Just now, if Long Tianyu hadn’t risked himself to pull him out in time, Gu Qiansheng would probably already be dead.

Wan Yuan sucked in a sharp breath. “Then what do we do? The Aberrant is this strong and has an Immortal Body, and Gu Qiansheng’s Supernatural Ability can’t touch him. How are we supposed to deal with him?”

The Aberrant being strong was only part of it-the Immortal Body was the real headache.

“Use weapons of mass destruction?” Yu Feng suggested.

“If there’s no other way, we may only have that option,” Hao Jingye sighed.

Long Tianyu frowned tightly, genuinely baffled. “How could an Aberrant show up before the apocalypse-and be this strong? By the classifications from my past life, this is absolutely a High-level Aberrant!”

“Superpower Users awakening early, Aberrants appearing early, everyone getting stronger…” Gu Qiansheng muttered.

In the past, he might have thought of himself as a Chosen Son. But after meeting this bunch of Chosen Sons and Daughters-and facing a powerful Aberrant that had appeared ahead of schedule-that idea faded, replaced by a growing knot of questions.

Qi Lingwu said, “That doesn’t mean we can’t deal with him. He chose to escape in a roundabout way, which proves he isn’t truly unkillable. If he has a weakness, we can exploit it.”

Hao Jingye sat up and analyzed carefully. “He used a hostage to shield his head. Maybe destroying his head is what actually kills him.”

“But Qi Dui already tried that,” Li Wanyun said with a frown. “It didn’t work.”
Long Tianyu said, “I also tried to slit his throat. Holy crap, do you know how terrifying it was? My blade passed right through his neck, and the wound healed instantly as the blade moved through.

“I suspect that even if I’d sliced his entire neck open, the front would have already grown back together before the blade even exited the back!”

At the thought of this, he couldn’t help but shudder.

This kind of opponent was too terrifying.

Even with all the combat experience from his previous life, he had never encountered such a difficult adversary.

You could kill him, but you couldn’t stop him from healing instantly.

And that was just Zhang Jialiang’s Supernatural Ability. Aberrants were also generally fast and strong; the higher their level, the faster and stronger they became. If friendly attacks were useless, the enemy could easily turn the tables and kill them instead.

He was too hard to deal with!

Qi Lingwu turned back, holding his gun, and shook his head. “Recovery is his Supernatural Ability. While under attack, he’s using his Supernatural Ability on himself, and it’s working.”

He was more experienced in combat, after all, and could instantly grasp the core weakness.

Everyone was stunned.

Hao Jingye slapped his forehead. “Right! As long as he’s distracted and his Supernatural Ability isn’t acting on himself, a fatal blow has a high chance of killing him!”

It was easy to understand.

It was like the Indestructible Body seen in TV dramas.

How do you break it?

Naturally, you strike while the opponent isn’t using their ability or is at their most distracted, delivering a fatal blow so they die completely before they have time to ‘heal.’

Of course, that was very difficult.

After all, the Aberrant they encountered this time wasn’t careless.

“In that case, is it impossible to capture him alive?” Li Xin asked.

Song Linwei shook his head. “The Aberrant is too dangerous. With a Supernatural Ability like that, it’s hard to take him alive. We can only do as Sister Sheng said and kill him.”

Hao Jingye let out a breath. “The prerequisite is catching up to him first.”

He turned to ask Ruan Zifeng, who had been silent. “Is your Supernatural Ability useful? Can you find him?”

Investigation Ability.

This was a very special power.

Ruan Zifeng had a good temperament and said politely:

“I should be able to. I just caught his scent at the scene-a very thick smell of blood. Right now, the scent is drifting in from the south.

“Combined with the occasional footage caught on surveillance, the Aberrant is currently in the north of South Lake Park. Based on his steadily decreasing speed, he’ll likely enter the park in an hour.”

Everyone looked at him.

Ruan Zifeng paused and added:

“Based on the analysis of some footprints I saw along the way, his speed seems to be slowing down, and his footprints are getting deeper. The battle just now still had some effect on him; his combat strength has dropped.”

Everyone stared intently at him.

Ruan Zifeng continued, “Additionally, people usually go to South Lake Park early in the morning to exercise. If we’re going to deal with him, we have to hurry. He might be looking for a suitable hostage.”

Everyone was still staring at him.

Ruan Zifeng scratched his head, feeling embarrassed. “Why are you all looking at me? Is there a problem?”

Long Tianyu suddenly asked, “Sheng An, let’s not give this guy back. Do you think it’s feasible to steal him from Group A?”

Ruan Zifeng: “???”

Sheng An didn’t even look up. “You can ask Qiu Yu.”

Long Tianyu: “…”

Never mind, he quite liked being alive.

Everyone suddenly realized that Sheng An had been very quiet and hadn’t spoken for a while.

Li Wanyun leaned her head over and spoke cautiously, “Sister Sheng, what’s wrong? Are you in a bad mood because of Zhang Jialiang?”

Sheng An shook her head.

She looked up and suddenly said, “Tell me, if Xu Jia isn’t by her phone and she isn’t one of the victims… where is she?”

Everyone froze, their expressions blank.

They hadn’t expected Sheng An to suddenly mention Ms. Xu…

However, Sheng An’s next sentence was even more hair-raising-

“Tell me, is there really only one Aberrant?”
