End of the World Cycle
Chapter 25: Absorbing supernatural powers.
The next day, Xie Qin followed Tan Xin to the base. It was a rare scale. Hundreds of people gathered at the back of the base. Everyone wore protective clothing. The protective clothing was made of hard plastic material, which should be able to prevent zombies from scratching them. But the zombies had a strong bite force, so if you were bitten, it would be useless.
Two psychics led a team. Since Xie Qin was going out with them for the first time, they had an extra psychic in their group. The other one was the earth-type psychic that he had met yesterday, whose name seemed to be Zheng Yali.
As a man's voice sounded over the loudspeaker, Xie Qin looked up and finally saw the Leixi psychic Lei Jun. The aura of a second-level rare psychic is stronger than that of the person next to him.
This person's words were full of energy and strength. Xie Qin felt that this person was vaguely familiar, but couldn't tell where he had seen him. After thinking again and again, he realized that this person looked very similar to Jiang Zheng's wife.
"What is his relationship with the base commander's wife?" Unable to resist his curiosity, Xie Qin asked Tan Xin next to him.
Tan Xin smiled. He particularly liked listening to Xie Qin talk, so he naturally moved closer and put his hand on Xie Qin's shoulder in a somewhat familiar manner. Xie Qin couldn't help but frowned and looked a little unhappy, but didn't show it. In his heart, he classified this person as annoying.
"Our Captain Lei is the leader of the superpower team. He and the base commander's wife are brother and sister. They are twins, so they look alike. Before he was in the role, he was a subordinate of the base commander, a legitimate special police officer."
"Oh. No wonder I think they look alike." Xie Qin nodded slightly, turned around inconspicuously, avoided Tan Xin's hand, and squatted down to pretend to tie her shoelaces.
After explaining some precautions, we set off in five different directions in five teams, and agreed to meet at the foot of the mountain at 4pm.
Ten buses were full, and Xie Qin was on two buses going to a county-level city thirty kilometers away. Before getting off the bus, the sound of the bus attracted a large number of zombies.
Xie Qin had seen zombies before, and didn't feel much about the densely packed zombies. Instead, she was a little excited because she killed so many zombies. But Xie Qin's current personality was that of a weak and frail little white flower, and she still had a frown on her face and a slightly frightened expression.
“Miaomiao, use your powers to stop the zombies from gathering too quickly. Give the workers more time to kill them.”
"Okay. Okay." Xie Qin nodded dazedly.
The people in the car were already preparing in an orderly manner. All of them should have been specially trained, and they were in groups of three, back to back, forming a combat posture with no blind spots. They also had some elastic tension bands tied around their waists to prevent someone from destroying this defensive posture in a rage.
Everyone held a sharp Tang sword in their hands. After making sure everything was ready, Tan Xin gave the order and everyone prepared to get off the bus.
Car No. 2 contained an earth-type and a wood-type mutant. When the car door opened, a thick wall of earth rose from the door and pushed away all the zombies around the car.
Two-thirds of the people got off the bus and quickly found their seats. The wood-type mutants wove a vine net at the fork in the street to stop all the zombies that came later.
Tan Xin, holding a baseball bat, trotted over to the zombie group and smashed the zombies' heads one by one, specifically targeting the second-level zombies that looked tall and strong and whose eyeballs could move.
Xie Qin also learned to use the powerful thrust of the water ball to push the gathered zombies back. In this way, although it was tiring for these dozens of workers to kill the zombies, it was not dangerous.
The group was well organized, and each group had a timer on them, and when the time was up, the next group would take over. The three groups took turns to rest and eat until two o'clock in the afternoon, and the zombies that gathered around had been dealt with almost completely.
Several earth walls sealed off several streets. The place where they were became a safe and enclosed space. Everyone began to collect corpse crystals. Xie Qin looked at the piles of corpses and sighed, there really is strength in numbers.
It is not difficult to imagine that with so many corpse crystals produced, it won't be long before a large number of psychics who can obtain resources will advance to the third level. The pace of becoming stronger cannot stop.
He looked around and saw so many people, plus four psychics. It would be difficult for him to control them all mentally at once. Moreover, there were many zombies in this city. Once these earth-type psychics were controlled, the earth wall would collapse and all the people would die when the zombies came.
Although he was not a good person, he was not so disgusted with the world that he wanted everyone to die. Xie Qin walked to Tan Xin in a difficult manner.
"What's wrong Miaomiao?"
"Brother Tan Xin, well... I... I want to go see if my family members are still alive."
"Your family? Are you from Rong County?"
"Yeah. I got separated from my family during the rainy season. I didn't want to cause any trouble, but my home is in the community not far ahead. I thought since I'm already here, I wanted to go back and take a look."
Xie Qin's big eyes were moist and she looked extremely pitiful. Seeing this, Tan Xin lost all suspicion in his brain and nodded lovingly at Xie Qin.
"This is a private matter. Others don't need to follow. It's just not far. My brother should be able to protect you. I'll go with you."
"Yeah! Thank you, Brother Tan Xin." Xie Qin happily showed a shy smile to Tan Xin. Tan Xin couldn't help but pinch Xie Qin's little face. It was indeed soft and bouncy. Full of collagen. It felt really comfortable to touch.
I am not that old and I am not married yet, so I should be nice to this girl. I feel happy just thinking about having such a beautiful girl as my wife.
The men watching were a little jealous, especially the other two male psychics, both of whom were second-level psychics and not uglier than Tan Xin. But such a lovely girl was pestering Tan Xin.
Zheng Yali, who was standing by, frowned as she looked at Xie Qin, feeling that something was wrong with her, but couldn't tell what was wrong. Then she looked at Xie Qin following Tan Xin obediently, thinking to herself, how could such a young sister have any bad intentions?
The two of them left the main group on foot and crossed the earth wall. Xie Qin pointed to a community not far away and said, "That's it." The street was very quiet at this time.
There were no zombies left. All the zombies around were killed after six hours of strangulation. As soon as Tan Xin got out of the crowd, he came to hold Xie Qin's hand.
Xie Qin felt disgusted, but he still didn't let go of her hand. Just think of it as paying him for his ability.
The two walked for more than 20 minutes and arrived at the community that Xie Qin pointed out. There were zombies in the community, about ten scattered here and there, all locked up at home. Xie Qin pointed to a building at random, and the two went upstairs.
Xie Qin chose a room without zombies. Although it was locked, Tan Xin just pushed the door lightly and it opened. Xie Qin walked behind him. He closed the door unnecessarily.
"Miaomiao, there's no one here. Are your family members gone?"
"Really? But Brother Tan Xin, why do I feel like something is wrong with this place?" As soon as Xie Qin finished speaking, Tan Xin lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he was already on a tricycle. He had no strength in his body and felt as if he had been hollowed out. Xie Qin's small body was pedaling hard in the front. Even though the temperature was several degrees below zero, he was sweating.
"I...what's wrong with me?"
"Brother Tan Xin, you're awake. I don't know why you fainted. I was afraid of danger, so I quickly took you away."
Tan Xin looked at his watch. It was only 2:30. He clearly remembered that they arrived at the community at 2:20 and it took them two or three minutes to go upstairs. Now they were already quite a distance away from the community. This meant that they had been in that room for no more than three minutes.
He could feel that his special ability had disappeared, and he only vaguely felt that there was still a trace of strength.
"Hurry back to base. There's a problem here."
"Yeah." After hearing what Tan Xin said, Xie Qin pretended to use a little more effort to go to where they parked.
Everyone thought that Tan Xin was injured, so after taking the corpse crystals, they put them in Car No. 1 and prepared to ask Xie Qin to help clean them. In order to make it look more realistic, Xie Qin just said that his special ability could not be used.
After a long time of effort, I finally squeezed out a basin of water.
Everyone felt that this place was weird, especially the three people with special abilities. They didn't dare to stay for even a moment and just went back with their people.
As soon as they returned to the base, Xie Qin and Tan Xin were taken to Jiang Zheng. After explaining the matter clearly, Jiang Zheng frowned and was still a little scared. The supernatural power disappeared inexplicably, and anyone would be puzzled.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Zheng decided to send Tan Xin and Xie Qin to the First Base of the Institute. Xie Qin said with tears in her eyes that she was afraid and didn't want to leave. In the end, only Tan Xin was sent to the First Base.
To be honest, Xie Qin also wanted to know whether Lu Chaoyun of the First Base could research his own superpowers. He also wanted to know what the physiological condition of the superpowered person would be after being absorbed by him. So he let Tan Xin be sent away.
Jiang Zheng just stood up, patted Xie Qin on the shoulder, told her to have a good rest, and let her go. He happily prepared to soak in corpse crystals to improve his superpowers.
Xie Qin smiled secretly as he walked. Eat, eat more. Let her suck it all at once.
A second-level power psychic was completely absorbed by Xie Qin, but she still couldn't feel any progress. It seems that the gap between the third and fourth levels is too big. She needs to find more psychics. There is no time to waste on going to the first base.
After thinking about it, Xie Qin planned to drain Jiang Zheng dry and then leave with her family. After all, the First Base was the best place for superpowers and the best environment. Before she built her own base, she thought the First Base would be the place where she would stay the longest.
Xie Qin had no appetite when he returned to the dormitory, so he lay down on the bed without bedding and went to sleep. The next morning, Xie Qin arrived at the central square early and waited.
After a while, the boy appeared. After the two looked at each other, Xie Qin went directly to the public toilet. At this time, the public toilet was quiet and no one was there.
After changing clothes, Xie Qin wore short boots and stuffed a 10-centimeter wooden block into his pants, so he barely looked as tall as the boy. He put on a mask and wrapped himself up tightly before entering the inner city.
The boy's pass was specially approved by Jiang Zheng. The gatekeeper looked at the pass and sent a car directly to Jiang Zheng's doorstep.
Everything went smoothly after entering the house. Even though there were servants, no one cared about Xie Qin's arrival and they were concentrating on doing their own things. According to the young man's description, Jiang Zheng was in the innermost master bedroom on the third floor. Usually, the young man would quietly go upstairs and wake Jiang Zheng up with the most special service.
Xie Qin just went upstairs. A bedroom on the second floor opened its door and Lei Jun walked out. Lei Jun looked at Xie Qin with a somewhat unhappy look, which seemed to be disgusting, nauseating, and contemptuous. He even felt annoyed by the boy Xie Qin pretended to be, and didn't want to breathe the same air with him at all.
He turned around and went back to his room and slammed the door.
Going up to the third floor, the beautiful woman also came out, probably because of the sound of Lei Jun closing the door. She seemed to be used to the boy coming, and greeted him with a wry smile.
"You came?"
"Yeah." Xie Qin hummed in a rough voice and hurried into the room the woman came out of. In the room, Jiang Zheng was lying on the bed, already awake.
The bed was a little messy, and Jiang Zheng was even naked. The room had the same smell that he had smelled last time, and Xie Qin couldn't help but frown.
"You're here just in time, so I won't wash anymore. You lick it clean for me." Jiang Zheng pushed his waist and said to Xie Qin.
The woman at the door blushed visibly when she heard this, and she carefully closed the door. Listening to the woman's footsteps as she left, Xie Qin slowly walked towards Jiang Zheng.
As Xie Qin approached step by step, Jiang Zheng found something wrong. He was very familiar with the boy. The person in front of him was not the one he called.
Jiang Zheng was about to ask when he felt his brain go blank and he instantly lost consciousness. It was so easy to control a second-level psychic who had no defense.
Without any effort, Xie Qin sucked Jiang Zheng until he was left with only one breath. Taking out his cell phone, Xie Qin sat cross-legged on a relatively clean carpet and played a few games.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Xie Qin controlled Jiang Zheng to put on his clothes and took him to the cafeteria. After taking the food according to the procedure, Xie Qin left directly.
At the moment Xie Qin left the inner city, Jiang Zheng, who had just walked to the door of his house, lost mental control and fell to the ground. The villa was in a panic, and all the medical staff in the base were called to the inner city. But they still couldn't save the person.
The result was death from exhaustion. Jiang Zheng's body was checked regularly and he was not ill. The only clinical symptom was death from overwork.
At that moment, everyone thought that this man died from excessive indulgence and physical depletion.
Xie Qin, who had left the city, was refreshed at the moment, because her water ability had already reached the third level. Now she only needed a fire ability. As long as her fire ability reached the third level, she could choose another ability she liked.
After meeting the boy, he took the benefits and left directly, not wanting to have any more contact with Xie Qin. Until the news of Jiang Zheng's death came, the boy was terribly scared, fearing that he would be blamed. He wanted to take his family away from here.
But he had no ability, and taking his family out would only lead to death. He had made plans. If anyone asked, he would definitely tell them about the girl. But no one came to find him for three consecutive days. Gradually, he stopped thinking about it.
But he knew that this thing must have been done by that girl.
