The group Leng Feng led had people from different fractions; one was trying to look for survivors while the other was fulfilling orders to find provisions. When trouble came around, naturally they would only care about their own goals. Especially since the spatial ability holders were cultivated with blood and sweat by the higher ups and no matter who they lost, it would be devastating.
When the soldier learned that Pei Ran wanted to enter the base, it so happened that the military doctor conducting the examinations was a familiar face. So he directly took them through the back door to the body examination area.
“You will be able to enter as long as you have been checked over for any wounds. There are living spaces in the base, but water, electricity, and rent must be paid for with contribution points. There is a hall in the central district that gives out missions. Every time you finish a mission, you can receive contribution points. There are many ability holders who have already created their own groups to go kill zombies but if you don’t want to do any missions, you can also exchange for points with orbs.”
The soldier found another soldier to take over his position as he was worried that Pei Ran didn’t understand. He did his best to help explain the rules of the base and accompanied him all the way through the grounds to avoid any additional issues that might pop up.
Pei Ran felt as if he was taking advantage of the soldier’s generosity a bit too much,
“Then we must trouble you.”
The soldier looked a bit young and was probably a new recruit. He immediately responded with,
“This is what I should do. Captain Leng is currently busy, attending some meetings, but if he were here, he would be even more grateful to you. We few brother-in-arms haven’t awakened any abilities and if it hadn’t been for you, we would have lost our lives yesterday. Comrade, thank you for saving us.”
He said the last sentence in a very serious and respectful manner, and he even gave a very proper military salute.
Water was in short supply these days and without an ability, they probably didn’t have it so good. Seeing how the soldier’s lips were cracked and pale, his voice hoarse, Pei Ran handed his backpack over to Qu Yan and grabbed a bottle of water to stuff into the soldier’s hands,
“You’ve had it hard. Have some water, I hope you don’t mind.”
The soldier paused and went to refuse him when he was suddenly presented with five more bottles of water. In shock, he quickly said,
“No no no, water is in very short supply nowadays and you’ve both just arrived at the base. There are many places where you would need to use it, no need to give it to me……”
Pei Ran’s dimensional space was not organized, so he was only randomly grabbing items from it. Using the backpack as a cover, he pretended to search through it and grabbed a plastic bag to stuff some snacks inside before giving the bag to the soldier. Acting just like a typical naive wealthy second generation son.
“No worries, no worries. I saw some soldiers still working hard behind you. Share it with your fellow comrades.”
The soldier truly had not expected Pei Ran to be so generous. These days, who wouldn’t be hiding what they had, even if it was just to hide from those with bad intentions. He was very grateful but also felt uneasy. He wanted to return everything but Pei Ran had already walked away with Qu Yan.
A female military doctor who was nearby couldn’t help but laugh upon seeing the soldier with a handful of provisions standing there frozen like a dummy. Floundering in confusion, he looked as if a bomb had been thrown at him.
“Ah, so that handsome fellow knew you huh. Why did he give you so much water?”
Although the base passed out rations of water everyday, it was only a tiny jug, containing an amount that wasn’t enough to sate one’s thirst. So, seeing the soldier with the bottles of water in hand, everyone was casting envious looks at him.
The soldier started to sweat from all the attention,
“Oh no, remember how our team got ambushed by that zombie horde yesterday? The one who saved us was him. I had wanted to show him around the base so he could get more familiar with it, but then he just gave so much stuff to me. How could I accept this? If the Captain knew, he would kill me……”
The female military doctor immediately understood the situation,
“Oh, so he was that electric type ability holder your Captain was talking about. I had wondered why you would suddenly let people cut the line. Since he gave these to you, keep it. When they run into a situation they can’t handle, you can help them out then.”
The soldier was still hesitant.
The military doctor shook her head as she continued on with her duties,
“New soldiers are always so timid. Have you been bullied so much by Leng Feng that your brain’s all scrambled up? He’s an electric type ability holder. When his ability level rises higher and higher, he’s going to get recruited by the higher ups. Would he be lacking in provisions then?”
The machine in the center of the room was undoubtedly using wavelengths emitted by the brain related to ability strength to detect their level. Qu Yan only needed to control the fluctuation of his psychic ability and the machine wouldn’t be able to detect a thing. The gunshot will always hit the head of the bird that pokes out first1; without understanding what the current situation in the base was, he wouldn’t so blatantly give away all the cards in his hand.
Editor Notes: In the novel the words ‘sun, bird, flower’ were written in both english and the chinese. For the translation we decided to use a different font to differentiate between the two languages.
*1 This is an idiom that means you shouldn’t always show so much of your strengths or what you have or be ahead of the pack so to say, as you’ll always be the target, the person that will always come to mind to be “taken down”.
