After Hou Ying was told that he had just absorbed the power crystal nucleus at a high speed, he looked at the iron box. As a result, he found that the box was knocked open and the remaining film of the crystal nucleus was shattered all over the place.
Everyone followed his gaze. Remembering the scene where Li Xuanyuan kicked a certain captain away, they silently shut their mouths.
Hou Ying didn’t ask. He felt his own hearing ability and shook his head at Wang Hehe and Meng Hanghai who looked at him eagerly, “It’s still level 3 high level.” To break through the barrier of level 3 and rise to level 4, this box of level 2 power nuclei is not enough. He is not surprised. What he doesn’t understand is that he clearly absorbed so many red crystals, but he doesn’t feel that the energy of the five-sense ability has increased compared with that when he was awake before. As if it has been consumed.
Liu Zhan and the others can’t think of why, but the most important thing now is to know the situation of those people in the police station, to find out whether Chen Yong’s death freed them.
Making Liu Zhan, Su Fenghe, Gongsun Jing, Wang Hehe, and Meng Hanghai go inside to see the situation, he left Li Xuanyuan behind, and the two of them headed toward the heavy truck lounge.
His actions were a bit sluggish, and afterward, he hissed and pressed his stomach, “Xuanyuan…what happened?”
Looking at his hand waved away by Li Xuanyuan, Hou Ying looked at him with a puzzled face. Li Xuanyuan coughed uncomfortably, then glared at him gloomily, “Just talk.” It means don’t move around if you have nothing to do.
Hou Ying murmured, “Why does my stomach hurt a little… Forget it, let’s see He Daqing and Bald Head first.”
He didn’t seem to notice that Li Xuanyuan’s footsteps paused, just naturally followed behind Li Xuanyuan who sped up. The two went to the first car’s lounge. He Daqing was really awake, and he’s unbinding Bald Head. He saw them open the vine curtain and come in. He watched them while guarding Bald Head behind him. Hou Ying showed him a friendly smile, “Is he okay?”
Hou Ying was mentally attacked by Chen Yong just now, and it’s already good that the team can divide their attention while dealing with the imprisoned survivors. As for the single Bald Head who was firmly tied in the lounge by them—his voice ability is only level 1, and only about to break through to level 2, so he’s not harmful to them—no one is free to take care of him. Now it seems that He Daqing, who woke up from a coma, knocked him unconscious.
He Daqing immediately understood that these were the people who saved him. He relaxed his vigilance and said with gratitude, “He’s gone to sleep and won’t hurt anyone. Thank you for saving me.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
This is the kind of attitude that makes people feel very comfortable. Although he looks rough, he somehow has a temperament like a spring breeze.
Hou Ying: “You don’t need to be so polite. We are all survivors. If we can help you, it will be considered a contribution to world peace.”
“I don’t know if you two have seen my brothers, are they…” still alive?
He Daqing frowned.
Hou Ying hurriedly said, “They’re all well. I asked them to stay in the church, and Boss He can confirm their safety at any time.”
He Daqing was stunned and thanked him sincerely. Seeing Hou Ying’s generous acceptance, he laughed loudly. Only then did he let Bald Head out from behind him, let him lie down, and approached the two of them. He said, “What are the names of the two brothers?”
He exchanged names with Hou Ying and Li Xuanyuan, and said, “Listening to your accents, you don’t seem to be natives of Quanshi. How could you come to a place with dense zombies as here?” He could feel that he was not Li Xuanyuan’s opponent, so he simply gave up his guard and said what was on his mind.
Hou Ying: “I’m from Yecheng…”
“Yecheng? Brother Hou, did you escape from the Yangtze River Base? Did they really do that kind of wicked thing?!”
He Daqing looked at them with a little understanding and sympathy.
Hou Ying and Li Xuanyuan looked at each other, “Boss He, to tell you the truth, we didn’t hear about the Yangtze River Base until we came here. When the end of the world happened, we were not in Yecheng. We just heard that there was a shelter for survivors in Yecheng… Can you tell us about the situation?”
He Daqing was stunned for a moment, then rubbed the knuckle of his smoky yellow middle finger with a sigh of relief, and talked about what he knew about the Yangtze River Base.
It turned out that when Hou Ying and his team arrived at the third stop, Yecheng Refuge welcomed people from the Yellow River Base of the imperial capital. These people sent planes and helicopters to let the ability users begin to search nearby survivors with Yecheng as the central axis. The very few survivors who did not follow the Yangtze River Base, for one reason or another…died at the zombies’ mouths
These official explanations cannot be delved into.
All cities and towns with a population of more than one million were within the scope of the search and rescue, but the route Hou Ying and his team traveled just happened to steer away from Yangtze River Base’s team. That’s why they didn’t meet any survivors on the road.
Naturally, a populous city like Quanshi is their top priority for search and rescue. About a month and a half ago, the Yangtze River Base sent helicopters and planes over. At that time, there were less than 20,000 survivors in Quanshi, which isn’t a small number. The search and rescue team did not pick up the survivors on a family basis, but first took the elderly, children, and women among the survivors—it was at this time that Chen Yong acted and hid many women.
When asked why he didn’t go with the Yangtze River Base, He Daqing’s face was a bit ugly.
Seeing that he wanted to smoke, Hou Ying considerately handed him a lit cigarette. He Daqing smiled when he saw it, “Brother Hou and Brother Li, I won’t be polite.” He’s an old smoker. He took a puff to calm his anger before he continued to explain to them.
“At the beginning, the people in the Yangtze River Base talked nicely. As the last group of people to leave, none of us thought of staying in this damn place at first. However, on the night we were leaving, I accidentally found a code left by a female colleague of mine in the seat of their plane, telling me not to go to that base. She is a rare ability user who can hear other people’s truthful words. Only I know this. She didn’t register when the Yangtze River base counted the ability users, so those people must have never guarded against her and let her hear something.”
“I know her well, she won’t leave such a secret signal to me for no reason. So that day, I used some methods to destroy their flight system and delay time. Then I found Chen Yong… You must already know his ability?”
Speaking of this, He Daqing paused with some regret.
Hou Ying and Li Xuanyuan didn’t expect that in addition to Chen Yong’s hypnotic psychic ability, there were other special psychic abilities such as mind reading among the survivors in Quanshi. Seeing him ask, they nodded and listened attentively to him.
He Daqing said, “Chen Yong and I jointly caught two people from the Yangtze River Base, and Chen Yong asked the truth from them.”
It turns out that the reason why they allowed women, children, and the elderly to go first is not humanitarianism at all. It is to arrange for these people to be controlled in advance, use them to threaten the ability users among their families, and let them take them for their own use!
“The management of the Yangtze River Base is very complicated. In addition to the managers sent from the Yellow River Base, there are also some old managers from the original Yecheng Refuge. They banded together to confront the airborne people of the Yellow River Base overtly and secretly. The people who came to Quanshi to search for people this time were the people who used to manage this faction in Yecheng. They’re also doing terribly dangerous experiments on ability users! Chen Yong hypnotized an insider, so we knew that they found glands different from ordinary people in the brain center of ability users, and the people who manifested their abilities will have these glands. The Yellow River base may not have such a discovery, but they have secretly experimented and successfully transplanted an ability user’s gland to an ordinary person, and he successfully got an ability!”
Hou Ying and Li Xuanyuan were shocked!
Let’s not talk about the gland in an ability user’s head for a while.
They had personally seen the situation at Yecheng’s underground laboratory. Even if they hadn’t seen the experimental data report, they knew that Yecheng’s secret experiment hadn’t achieved any substantial success. Unexpectedly, they had only left for less than half a month, but they had already successfully transplanted the ability users’ glands! Hou Ying was terrified. If they were one step late at that time, Wang Hehe, Ji Yao, and Su Fenghe would probably be the victims of their gland craniotomy. Especially Wang Hehe, who’s a rare clairvoyance ability user!
This news made people shudder. No wonder He Daqing refused to go to the Yangtze River Base. His powerful lightning ability is a sweet dessert among ability users. I’m afraid he will become an experiment once he arrives in Yecheng.
Li Xuanyuan frowned and said, “With so many survivors entering the base, won’t the people at the Yellow River Base find that the ability users were missing?”
“Chen Yong had pried it out of their mouths. The Yellow River Base is studying the ability scanner, but it hasn’t been successful. The Yangtze River Base doesn’t have that thing either.”
After hearing what He Daqing said, Hou Ying and Li Xuanyuan understood how Yecheng’s old management managed to hide things from everyone—they falsified information! Sure enough, He Daqing said, “The ability users they need will be registered as having insignificant abilities, or simply write them as ordinary people. If they have more obvious abilities, they will be sent out to kill zombies, and then hide them in the laboratory in the name of being killed by those zombies. Even if the family members of the survivors made trouble, they were suppressed by them. They’re already thinking of ways to expel the airborne management of the Yellow River Base and collect hot weapons everywhere. The batch of bullets in Chen Yong’s hand was snatched from them.”
What they have done to the ability users is already frightening, but the situation of ordinary people at the Yangtze River Base isn’t much better.
