Too Many Reincarnators? I Bring the National Team to the Field - Chapter 9

This question was answered by Sheng An.

“-I want Qi Lingwu, the captain of Team 0. All three Deviants will be assigned to Group A.”

Team 0!

That term appeared again.

Thinking back to what Hao Jingye had just said-that both Sheng An and Qiu Yu came from Team 0-

She widened her eyes in confusion. “What exactly is Team 0? Are they really that powerful?”

“Very powerful,” Hao Jingye replied with reverence. “When I was in the Information Group, I always hoped to work with Team 0. Put it this way: Team 0 is a group of people who can do anything, specializing in carrying out the country’s most secret and most difficult missions.”

He paused, then summed it up in one sentence: “The nation’s humanoid weapons, flesh-and-blood combat machines.”

Jiang Yu’s breath caught.

Humanoid weapons, flesh-and-blood combat machines…

What a terrifying evaluation.

She instinctively looked at Sheng An, only to see her cold and sharp profile.

Jiang Yu was skeptical.

Sister Sheng looked rather slim and frail-could she really be that strong?

Hao Jingye noticed her doubt and rolled his eyes. “Jiang Yu, never doubt Sister Sheng. Give it time, and you’ll understand.”

Jiang Yu hesitantly nodded.

Really?

She was half-convinced, but let the question go and asked again:

“If Team 0 is so amazing, and Captain Qi leads them, then he must be incredibly strong, right?”

Hao Jingye nodded, lifting his chin with pride.

“Of course. Qi Dui is a legend. He’s a top-tier sniper. Privately, we say: ‘Vision is the limit of the eyes, but range is not the limit of a sniper.’ For Qi Dui, there are no limits.”

Jiang Yu felt a sudden sense of awe.

Hao Jingye rubbed his hands together, a little smug. “Qi Dui joining Group B means Sister Sheng can command the entire Team 0. Tell me, did Sister Sheng lose out this round?”

Jiang Yu shook her head instinctively.

Sheng An was driving, her voice lazy: “I’ve seen those two Water-Fire Superpower Users. Not to mention now-even if they become strong in the future, they still won’t be a match for Team 0.”

Superpower Users can be very strong, but Team 0 is already extremely strong.

They are a group of people who are both lovable and terrifying to the extreme.

-And she came from there.

Jiang Yu had another question.

She leaned her head next to Hao Jingye, her eyes sparkling. “If Qi Dui is so amazing and represents Team 0, would Team Leader Qiu from Group A really be willing?”

Group B wants to suppress Group A, but Group A also wants to suppress Group B.

Hao Jingye suddenly grinned, but quickly put on a serious face and pushed up his glasses-

“There’s nothing to be done. Who told Qi Dui to be Sister Sheng’s lover? Even if Qiu Yu tried to snatch him away, she’d be afraid Qi Dui would set her up.”

Jiang Yu: “!!”

She instinctively looked at Sheng An, hardly able to believe it-this person actually had a partner?

Wait!

Jiang Yu: “Why ‘lover’ and not ‘boyfriend’?”

Hao Jingye sighed helplessly. “You’ll have to ask Sister Sheng about that.”

Jiang Yu looked at Sheng An, blinking, stars in her eyes.

Sheng An glanced at her in the rearview mirror, smiled with a curl of her lips. “Don’t pry. Don’t fill your head with romance. Be healthy.”

Jiang Yu pouted. “Is being in love unhealthy?”

She rested her head on the seat in front, gazing at Sheng An. “Sister Sheng, you’re really beautiful. The more I look, the prettier you seem. I just can’t imagine anyone worthy of you.”

Hao Jingye shot her a look of disdain.

-Seriously, it’s only the first day and she’s already Sister Sheng’s little fangirl.

-Hey, did you forget when Sister Sheng had a gun pointed at you?

Amid their chatter, the three returned to the unit.

The so-called “unit” was actually an entire camp temporarily set up halfway up the mountain. The place was secluded, but the security was tight, surrounded by several experimental bases and office buildings.

After all, with Superpower Users, a small place wouldn’t do.

Jiang Yu kept looking around, marveling: “I’ve lived in the capital for so many years and never knew there was a mountain here, let alone what’s inside…”

Hao Jingye: “Of course. Ordinary people can’t enter classified places.”

Sheng An led the two straight in.

“This building is shared by Group A and Group B. Upstairs are several laboratories and some researchers, so you might run into people from Group A here at any time,” Hao Jingye said in a low voice.

Jiang Yu instinctively craned her neck to look.

Hao Jingye pulled her back. “Don’t bother. Team Leader Qiu took three people from Group A out to look for other Deviants. There’s no way they’ll be here now. Maybe you’ll see them tonight.”

Jiang Yu withdrew her gaze. “There are more Deviants?”

Hao Jingye: “Of course. Every abnormal person has to be screened. You’re the third one we’ve checked today. The first two were misunderstandings, but you turned out to be a real Deviant.”

And a very rare Deviant at that.

Jiang Yu was a little disappointed. After all, realizing she wasn’t the one and only Chosen Daughter left her a bit deflated.

But she was also curious. “So, we still have to keep screening other Deviants? Do we have any targets?”

Hao Jingye nodded. “A few.”

Sheng An swiped her card, led them into the elevator, and pressed a floor.

“Logistics has been preparing on the way here. You’ll need to register, get a checkup, then come with us to load things into the space. There are some other arrangements for you as well,” Sheng An said.

Jiang Yu couldn’t contain her excitement, curiosity forgotten.
She herself had only stored supplies, and there was still plenty of empty space inside her Space Ability. Although things would expire, it was still good to be able to fill it up as much as possible.

If she could fill it with weapons and controlled medicines… that would be simply wonderful!

How much safer she would feel.

Jiang Yu went upstairs, was thoroughly checked inside and out, had several scans taken, had her blood drawn, used her Space Ability to retrieve items, and even dug out a pot of black mud… Only then was she respectfully escorted out.

She was very afraid of being “dissected,” so Sheng An accompanied her the whole time.

Whenever she looked at Sheng An, Jiang Yu inexplicably felt at ease.

When everything was finally over, Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

She said excitedly, “Let’s go fill it up with stuff now!”

Sheng An nodded, speaking as they walked:

“The space inside your Space Ability can be taken out. The country is stockpiling grain; even in the Apocalypse, you won’t be short of food.”

She paused, remembering that Jiang Yu had just joined the Special Affairs Division and might not fully trust the country yet…

Sheng An said, “Forget it, keep it. You haven’t stored much anyway, and leaving it inside will give you peace of mind.”

Jiang Yu nodded frantically, like a chicken pecking at rice.

-Wonderful!

-Surely the country will give her lots and lots of supplies!

Otherwise, why would they ask her to clear out space?

Sister Sheng was even considerate enough to let her keep her supplies…

Jiang Yu was a little moved.

But at the same time, she felt a bit guilty.

Sheng An glanced back and immediately noticed Jiang Yu’s excited yet guilty expression.

She curled her lips in a smile.

Jiang Yu’s thoughts were easy to read.

She had lied; her Space Ability was definitely not only accessible by herself.

After all, it was a Golden Finger-it was normal to keep some secrets.

Sheng An could understand these little thoughts.

But…

Her eyes held a hint of amusement, and her steps were light and composed.

*

Sheng An led Jiang Yu to a warehouse next to the camp.

Looking at the huge warehouse doors, Jiang Yu’s eyes grew brighter and brighter, almost wanting to jump up and cheer.

The two approached.

A middle-aged man walked out of the warehouse, his expression serious. “Head Sheng, everything is ready. It’s all inside the warehouse, and the researchers are all here.”

Sheng An nodded.

Jiang Yu was puzzled-researchers?

As they got closer, Jiang Yu finally saw what was inside the massive warehouse…

Tractors, plows, seeders, sprinklers, fertilizer spreaders, chemical fertilizers, seeds… as well as all kinds of seedlings and strange plants.

Nearby, a group of elderly men in white lab coats were being very careful.

“Ah, finally someone’s here! These things all need to be handled with care-hurry and get them planted in the ground!” One old man jumped up, waving at them.

Jiang Yu: “?”

She looked at Sheng An.

What does this mean?

Where were the supplies she was supposed to store?

Sheng An looked back at her, smiling:

“These are what you’re going to put into your Space Ability. Your task now is-to preserve the Hope Seedlings and experimental Hope Seeds, and let your Space Ability be filled with abundant harvests. Even if the earth becomes scorched, your Space Ability will remain full of life.”

The words were a bit convoluted, and Jiang Yu felt dizzy listening.

She muttered, “Seedlings, seeds, harvest, full of life…”

As if something dawned on her, her pupils shook.

She pointed at herself, looking at Sheng An in disbelief:

“So, you want me-to farm?!”

Sheng An’s smile was radiant: “This is called cultivating Hope Seedlings.”

That vast black soil had to be put to use.

Although it wasn’t as grand as Shi Xiao’s Space Ability, with mountains, water, and a whole world, it didn’t matter-they’d make do.

Jiang Yu: Isn’t this just farming!

At that moment, an old man came over, very excited-

“Young lady, you’re the Space Ability Superpower User? Ah, you’ve finally arrived! Ever since the Apocalypse notice, we old folks have been worried sick. Luckily, we found you. If the world turns to scorched earth, your Space Ability is the last hope. Hurry, I’ll teach you how to plant these.”

“Who are you?” Jiang Yu asked impatiently.

Sheng An smiled slightly: “Academician Zhou from the Academy of Sciences, one of the world’s leading botanists. You don’t know how to plant, so from now on, they’ll be your teachers, showing you how to sow the seeds.”

Jiang Yu: “?”

She almost thought she’d misheard.

Sheng An took her hand, her smile bright:

“They’re all experts in this field. In the future, for scorched earth planting, Apocalypse farming, and so on, we’ll rely on your Space Ability for research. They’re your teachers, and also your team.”

Jiang Yu: “??”

She was a bit lost: “What do you mean? I’m responsible for them?”

Sheng An: “Don’t worry. As an outstanding contributor, the food you’re allocated will be enough to support them.”

Jiang Yu: “???”

Is that what I meant?!

Wait!

-So all her hard work farming is just to support a bunch of people who’ll tell her how to farm??

Sheng An spread her hands, looking regretful, “Can’t be helped. After all, only you can enter your Space Ability.”

Jiang Yu: “…………”

So this is what it means to shoot yourself in the foot-she suddenly understood it deeply.
