Chapter 194 Civil strife (1)
Just as the eight people on the helicopter were each lost in their own thoughts, a bolt of lightning struck the helicopter. Although Ji Lang reacted in time, a section of the helicopter's rotor blade was still broken off, and the entire helicopter immediately lost its balance and began to shake.
"What's going on?" Lin Yun rushed to the driver's seat immediately and looked around through the front window. Finally, he spotted a group of people fighting on the snow.
“It’s Jin Nan!” Lan Yichen knew this lightning strike skill very well. At least in the Beijing area, he had only seen Jin Nan use it.
"They reacted really quickly." Wang Sanhai wasn't afraid at all. He wished he could jump out of the helicopter and fight Jin Nan for three hundred rounds, then find that bastard Wen Zhou and kill him to avenge his brothers.
"Don't worry." The helicopter rotor was damaged and obviously could not continue flying. Lu Yuan calmly called out to everyone, and in just a moment, they switched to a new helicopter, and even everyone's position remained unchanged.
Those on the ground only saw the helicopter, which had clearly had one of its rotor blades shattered, instantly repaired to its original condition.
"Holy crap, what kind of superpower is that?" Zhao Qi, while fighting his opponent, didn't forget to check the helicopter in the sky. Actually, he didn't know that Lu Yuan and his group were in the helicopter; he just wanted an extra crystal and had Jin Nan attack it. After all, the few people they were fighting now seemed no match for them.
"Forget about the helicopter, take care of them first." Although Jin Nan attacked the helicopter that suddenly appeared, he was still rational and knew that the key was the people in front of him. Although their ability level was only level seven, they were very well coordinated, which made it difficult for him and Zhao Qi to defeat them.
"What's there to be afraid of? I can crush these ants in a couple of moves." Zhao Qi was usually arrogant. Now, the opponents were only four or five ability users who were not even at level seven. He was already an ability user who had just entered level nine. He was not afraid of not being able to handle them.
"Brother Zhao, we're here to help you." It was Wen Zhou who spoke. He had overindulged last night and was clearly exhausted this morning, so he hadn't accepted the mission from the bulletin board. Coincidentally, he had just heard at the base that Zhao Qi and Jin Nan had discovered a high-level ability user nearby, so he led his three soldiers out of the base.
"Hey, what a perfect time. How was yesterday?" Zhao Qi teased Wen Zhou while manipulating earth and rocks to attack the superhuman opposite him.
"How can I compare to Brother Zhao? But that Lan Yichen is really something..." Wen Zhou still couldn't forget Lan Yichen. Last night, he and his three brothers really opened the door to a new world. They never thought they could play like this before.
"Follow me, and you'll learn a lot in the future." As Zhao Qi was speaking, he saw several people on the other side suddenly launch an attack at the same time, catching him and Wen Zhou completely off guard.
Wen Zhou and his three brothers were, after all, newly promoted superhumans, and their superhuman abilities were negligible in the current Beijing. Zhao Qi, on the other hand, had just entered the ninth level. Although there was a big difference between the ninth and seventh levels, there were still weaknesses. With four people attacking him at the same time, aiming for his vital points, dying would be very easy.
"I told you to watch out!" Jin Nan's voice rang out again. If it weren't for Jin Nan's fire-type ability interfering with the opponent's fire-type ability, Zhao Qi would be seriously injured, if not dead.
"Understood, Brother Nan." Zhao Qi didn't dare to be frivolous anymore. After all, he had almost lost his life. A level nine ability user was nothing more than a crystal for someone else. Moreover, if he were really going to die, the people who would probably want him to die the most would be his comrades-in-arms right now.
"Hmph." Jin Nan didn't say anything more. He had a feeling that the helicopter in the sky kept circling and wouldn't leave, and that something was definitely going to happen. But he couldn't bring himself to give up the four level-seven crystals he had obtained. After all, Jiang Yun would soon be able to advance to level nine ability, and he would take back all the high-level crystals in the base and give them directly to Jiang Yun.
The moment Jin Nan lost focus, the four people opposite him launched another combined attack. This time, their target was Jin Nan. Fortunately, the gap between the two sides was too great. Jin Nan was not a newly promoted level nine ability user. Although he was distracted, he reacted quickly and dodged the attack.
"Hey, what's the boss thinking about? If he accidentally dies, Jiang Meiren will be so heartbroken." The speaker was Gao Han, the second-in-command of the base. He was an ordinary citizen from Beijing. When the Beijing municipal government base was relocated, he was still holed up in his house waiting for rescue. Unexpectedly, instead of the government rescue team, he was met with a zombie horde that destroyed his home on a large scale.
Jin Nan, who had come to Beijing for a business conference, had already formed a small team of six. Gao Han was rescued by Jin Nan's team when he was surrounded by zombies and on the verge of death. Originally, they planned to go to a government base nearby, so along the way they rescued many people who were trapped in their own homes or hotels and were initially unable to enter the government base or quarantine center.
As the group grew larger, Jin Nan's prestige also increased. In particular, Jin Nan was the first among them to awaken his superpowers. Furthermore, because the zombies controlled animals and regionalized the humans, they were unable to cross the blockade of the crazed animals and could only continue to hide in Beijing.
Jin Nan, young, courageous, and capable, was able to take care of so many people, and his prestige among the survivors grew higher and higher. Even after Gao Han and the others awakened their superpowers, everyone still followed Jin Nan's lead and together they built their own base in the snow-covered city of Beijing, until Jiang Yun appeared.
"Hmph, you don't need to worry about me." Jin Nan knew that his prestige in the base was declining, and Gao Han's behavior was too obvious. If it weren't for the life-saving grace he had received back then, given the current state of their base, he and Jiang Yun would probably be dead long ago. Therefore, he could only use his final decision to nurture Jiang Yun's superpower.
In this way, even if he dies, Jiang Yun will at least still be alive and have the ability to protect himself.
"Tsk, how can you say that?" Gao Han glanced at the four people who were trying to escape, and with a wave of his hand, the two level-nine superpowers behind him released two ice dragons that froze the four people. Then, with a few "cracks", the four humanoid ice blocks shattered, leaving only frozen chunks of flesh and four crystals of different colors on the ground.
Seeing the shattered remains scattered on the ground, and then looking back at Jin Nan and Gao Han in the snowstorm, Wen Zhou realized he had underestimated the base. In a split second, he rushed through the remains before Zhao Qi could, quickly picking up four crystals.
"Old Wen, that's great." Zhao Qi was quite happy, after all, he felt that Wen Zhou had known him for a long time, and among all the level nine ability users, he should at least give him the crystal.
"Brother Gao, I've brought the crystal back for you." However, Wen Zhou's incompetence far exceeded Zhao Qi's expectations. The other man walked past him with the crystal and went straight to Gao Han.
