Special Agent Rebirth: The Omnipotent Goddess of Quick Transmigration-Chapter 273: Queen of the Apocalypse (12) First Watch of the Night
Chapter 273: Queen of the Apocalypse (12) First Watch of the Night
"That’s the Sui Family’s safe zone," Sui Yun pointed at the base ahead and spoke softly.
The safe zone was not located in Jing City’s City Center.
Instead, it was in the suburbs. In the apocalypse, city centers with their dense populations were the most dangerous places, for more Zombies erupted there.
When the apocalypse first broke out, Sui Yun made a decisive decision to have the Sui Family establish the first safe zone in Hua Country within a special Military District.
Looking at it now, his decision was extremely wise.
Other places were now emulating the safe zone model based on the one in Jing City.
People outside the safe zone immediately recognized the emblem on Sui Yun’s vehicle and knew who had returned, promptly connecting with the Administrator to notify them.
"This time I’ve brought back 2753 people, 1491 of whom are the stationed troops I brought from N City," Sui Yun explained to the Administrator.
The Administrator responded haphazardly, and then casually instructed the management staff to register and manage the people Sui Yun had brought back.
His gaze, however, went straight to the other line of people beside Sui Yun.
Ye Shaohua and her group were truly an anomaly in the apocalypse.
Looking at Wo Qi and the others, who among them wasn’t disheveled, covered in filth? A dirt-streaked face was the true mark of the apocalypse.
After all, most water resources in the apocalypse were contaminated, and only Water Attribute Superpower Users or those who found bottled mineral water resources could avoid it.
Unlike them, not a single person in Ye Shaohua’s group was unclean, and all had easy smiles on their faces.
"This must be Lady Ye," the Administrator looked towards Ye Shaohua, his eyes shining.
Ye Shaohua nodded her head, "Hello."
Since the apocalypse to the present day, many high-level Superpower Users came to Jing City’s safe zone, mostly because of the Cerebral Superpower doctor who was based there.
This doctor had, from the apocalypse until now, invented a water purifier for contaminated water and, using the famous trio outside, found the optimal path for Superpower Users to enhance their abilities.
Indeed, abilities were important in the apocalypse, but a strong brain was equally crucial!
The moment the doctor heard about Ye Shaohua, he was filled with anticipation for her.
He told the Administrator that the development of Ye Shaohua’s Brain Domain was much more advanced than his.
Not to mention, she cured the virus that infected Su Mu. Although Su Mu was a Superpower User and had a much higher chance of recovery than normal people, she was the first to cure someone infected with the Zombie virus during the apocalypse.
"The doctor is researching a potion rumored to restore energy mentioned outside. Would you like to meet him, Lady Ye?" The Administrator didn’t mind Ye Shaohua’s aloofness, he rubbed his hands together, somewhat hopeful.
"No need, I’ll take her to the Residential Area," Sui Yun directly declined for Ye Shaohua.
In Jing City’s safe zone, the residences were allocated based on hierarchy.
Ordinary people could only live in the outermost layer, squeezing ten or so individuals into a room with bunk beds. Common First-rank Superpower Users lived in slightly inferior locations. Someone like Ye Changming could manage to secure a single room just big enough to fit a bed, and those slightly better off could have rooms around ten or so square meters.
Given the importance of Ye Shaohua’s group to the safety of the safe zone, and especially with a well-known Third-rank Superpower User like Su Mu among them,
the safe zone directly arranged for her team a two-story suite, which was the highest level of accommodation available in the apocalypse.
Those living there were Su Ran and a few others who joined Ye Shaohua’s team early on, including Weiwei who had always been an ordinary person.
On the journey back to Jing City, many others gradually joined Ye Shaohua’s team, but those people were settled on the periphery.
In total, there were nearly a hundred people. As these individuals swiftly grew stronger, more and more people wanted to join Ye Shaohua’s team, and the safe zone’s Administrator also recognized Ye Shaohua’s ability to train people.
A lot of individuals were arranged for Ye Shaohua to lead.
"You can follow me if you want, but our team has two requirements. First, besides the crystal nuclei that need to be handed in, the team gets to use the crystal nuclei that are not of their own attribute. We grow stronger together," Ye Shaohua stated plainly, "Second, follow our squad’s rules, no violations, no killing of ordinary people, and obey the commands of the squad leaders from each small team."
Su Ran and the others had no objections to this, as they had gotten used to seeking out Zombies every day to strengthen the weakest members of their team.
And the Administrator already knew from Wo Qi and his group that Wo Qi had reached Third-rank.
How could they not agree if following Ye Shaohua could lead to reaching Third-rank?
As a result, Ye Shaohua’s team suddenly grew by over a hundred members, most of whom were strong First and Second-rank individuals pushed onto her by Jing City’s safe zone, and she had become the second Legion next to Sui Yun.
"Su Ran, leave that group of people for you to lead," Ye Shaohua thought for a moment, "each of you take twenty people to lead a team, and the rest will be led by Weiwei."
These people usually acted together, accustomed to moving as a unit, all of them were third-rank power users, leading groups of first and second-rank people on missions without attracting much attention.
"OK," Su Ran made a hand gesture.
Sui Yun also went to arrange his own team, and only the Administrator followed Ye Shaohua. Hearing this, he was a bit surprised, "Lady Ye, you’re going on a mission as well?"
In Jing City’s safe base, missions were normally undertaken by superpower users. People like Doctor Xiang, who were researchers, were well protected. Hearing Ye Shaohua say this, the Administrator was very surprised.
"Yes," Ye Shaohua didn’t explain, simply looking towards the Administrator, "My main purpose in coming to Jing City is to find my parents. I want to see if they are in your safe base."
The matter of Ye Shaohua’s parents was not a small affair.
The Administrator hurried off to the management office to look for the registration list, "Found it, Ye Changming, a first-rank force attribute superpower user, in C2 Zone, number 56!"
"So you are the daughter of that couple," the person in charge took another look at Ye Shaohua, "I don’t pay much attention to other people’s affairs, but even I know that the couple used all the resources they could find just to search for their daughter, living even worse than ordinary people."
Hearing this news, the people following Ye Shaohua breathed a sigh of relief.
Since they were superpower users, they should be living quite well. It was good they were alive.
The higher-ups now required that no matter what, Ye Shaohua had to be convinced to settle down in the safe base. With her parents here, this condition shouldn’t be too hard.
C2 Zone.
"Lady Ye, that’s your father’s house," the Administrator looked at the small quarters and realized it was not a typical room for a first-rank superpower user.
He felt a sudden unease in his heart.
Ye Shaohua felt a twitch at her brow.
Her powerful spiritual power spread out, sensing only one person’s presence in the room.
She quickened her pace and knocked on the locked door.
"Who is it?" came the weak voice of Ye’s mother from inside.
Upon hearing that voice, Ye Shaohua couldn’t help but remember all that her parents had done for the original host in her two lifetimes. She pursed her lips and said softly, "Mom, it’s me."
It sounded as if someone inside had fallen to the ground.
Soon enough, someone from inside opened the door.
"Shaohua, Shaohua, is it really you!" Ye’s mother had aged almost ten years since the days before the catastrophe, her appearance unkempt. She trembled as she grasped Ye Shaohua’s arm, her eyes reddening, "Oh, Shaohua!"
"Come in quickly," not recognizing a big shot like the base Administrator, Ye’s mother only led Ye Shaohua into the few square meters room, making her sit on the bed, and took out a piece of biscuit wrapped in paper for who knows how long, "Here, eat this quickly."
From beginning to end, her eyes never left Ye Shaohua.
"You’ve lost weight," she wiped away her tears, "As long as you’re alive... By the way, did you see Xiangxiang on the way? I don’t know how she is doing. If only I knew, your father and I would never have left you two."
With a biscuit in hand, Ye Shaohua glanced around the room and suddenly asked, "Where’s Dad?"
She had rushed over as fast as she could, even faster than the three who had survived the catastrophe, including Ye Xiangxiang.
However, upon seeing her mother, Ye Shaohua suppressed the heartache that surged in her heart.
At Ye Shaohua’s question, her mother paused, then pretended nothing was wrong, "Oh, he’s gone out, he’ll be back soon. By the way, how did you get here, did Xu Qi...?"
It was clear that Ye’s mother was trying to change the subject.
"No, Mom, where’s my father?" Ye Shaohua didn’t ask her mother what she meant but instead turned to the Administrator who still stood respectfully in the C2 Zone, "Could you help check where my father is?" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
To facilitate tracking, everyone going out of the safe zone had to register their movement.
Ye’s mother knew her daughter’s character very well and upon hearing what Ye Shaohua said, her heart skipped a beat, "Shaohua, your father just went out to get a first-rank crystal nucleus. He wanted to exchange it for medicine for me but got caught by Brother Biao and his gang. Shaohua, don’t confront Brother Biao, he has already advanced to a second-rank superpower user."
Both of them were close to fifty years old and were the lowest existences among superpower users in C2 Zone.
A second-rank in the safe zone was already regarded as a strong existence.
Bullying the weak by the strong was very common among superpower users.
Ye Shaohua was also aware of this rule of survival. She simply nodded with an icy expression and looked towards the several high-ranking officials from Jing City’s safe zone outside the door, "Who can tell me where Brother Biao is?"
