Chapter 16 - Ruthlessness!

Chapter 16: Ruthlessness!Chen Zhong and An Mian quietly left the camp and headed towards the gate.

As for An Xinling, she had already left the camp the previous night to join her police officers and go to the Governor’s Mansion to set up defenses.

Zhao Yi, standing by Qin Jun’s side, glanced at the two sneaking away but said nothing. Yesterday, Qin Jun had already instructed him not to stop Chen Zhong.

In fact, the lieutenant that An Mian contacted yesterday, called Zhao Yi to “surrender” right after hanging up. Although he was indeed from the An family, with the current crisis in Jiangjing, who wouldn’t think about their own future?

After all, the rise of the An family was too recent, only beginning when An Feng took power, and couldn’t be compared to the truly established families like the Qin family, which had been noble for generations.

However, An Mian was unaware of all this. When Chen Zhong’s group reached the gate, they saw the lieutenant. His surname was Wang, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a face that looked honest and sincere.

He was from a rural area and had struggled to get into a military academy, but couldn’t afford the tuition.

When An Feng heard about this, he sponsored Wang’s education, and after graduation, helped him enter the garrison district to become a lieutenant.

If it weren’t for the An family, Lieutenant Wang might still be farming at home.

“Miss!” Lieutenant Wang immediately stepped forward, nodded at Chen Zhong, and then curiously examined Chen Zhong.

After all, Chen Zhong had suddenly become so muscular, which shocked and intrigued the surrounding soldiers.

“I’ve arranged everything. These people are my soldiers. Let’s go quickly. Thank you very much, Brother Wang!”

Lieutenant Wang smiled sincerely, nodded, and led An Mian and Chen Zhong out of the camp, but Chen Zhong felt a faint sense of unease.

Everything was going too smoothly, so smooth that he could hardly believe it! Although things were going according to his plan, Chen Zhong, having experienced his previous life, was extremely cautious.  Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ N0vᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

The smoother things went, the more vigilant he became. He had no choice; only by being suspicious could one survive in the apocalypse!

Chen Zhong asked An Mian, “Xiao Mian, you didn’t tell anyone about what I talked to you about yesterday, did you?”

Hearing this, An Mian thought of Su Ya’s plea yesterday. After a moment’s hesitation, she nodded, “I didn’t tell anyone!”

Chen Zhong didn’t doubt her because, in his heart, An Mian was a very simple person who wouldn’t lie or hide anything.

However, he noticed the amulet hanging on An Mian’s waist. Chen Zhong’s keen observation skills immediately spotted this new item.

“Xiao Mian, what is this?”

An Mian was a bit flustered, not expecting Chen Zhong’s observation skills to be so sharp to discover it.

But An Mian still remembered her agreement with Su Ya and said, “It’s a gift from a friend. I hadn’t worn it before.”

Seeing An Mian’s evasive gaze, Chen Zhong shook his head, but he didn’t ask further. After all, he trusted An Mian that she wouldn’t harm him.

“Let’s go.”

…

In the military camp, after an unknown amount of time, the golden light around Qin Jun finally faded. The surrounding soldiers looked at him with reverence.

They felt as if he were a god, shining with golden light. Some superstitious soldiers even thought Qin Jun was a reincarnated deity…

Qin Jun gazed at his fingers. This was the talent awakening Chen Zhong had mentioned. A sudden memory appeared in his mind, telling Qin Jun that this was an S-grade talent, Psychic Control.

Now, he was an evolver!

Qin Jun squinted his eyes, extended a finger, and the next moment, a tank nearby was lifted by an unseen force, floating in mid-air.

The soldiers were in an uproar as they knew that tank weighed several tons!!!

Several research personnel widened their eyes and murmured, “Impossible… this is impossible!”

“This isn’t scientific!”

Others looked at these old men with a hint of ridicule. Damn, even the black obelisk had appeared, and you’re still talking about science?! Explain it to me scientifically then?

Perhaps because of the recent intense changes, people quickly accepted the appearance of supernatural powers. After all, zombies had appeared, and so had the black obelisk.

So, another supernatural ability wasn’t a big deal…

Qin Jun casually dropped the tank, panting slightly, even feeling a faint nerve pain. His body hadn’t fully adapted to the psychic ability yet.

To fully adapt, it would take at least a few days.

Qin Jun then looked at Su Ya, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He hadn’t expected Su Ya to awaken a talent as well!

But he didn’t pay much attention. No matter what talent Su Ya awakened, she was just his plaything.

At this moment, Zhao Yi quickly stepped forward, looking at Qin Jun with reverence and whispering, “Young Master, according to your instructions, Chen Zhong and his group have left.”

Qin Jun nodded, a smile appearing on his face. Although he had just awakened his S-grade talent, the more powerful he became, the more greedy he felt.

If an S-grade talent was this strong, what about an SSS-grade talent?

Just then, an intelligence officer ran over, shouting, “Commander Zhao, we just received a notification that the quarantine zone’s defense line is about to collapse!”

LTens of thousands of people have gathered near the Jiangbei Bridge, trying to break through the defense line.”

Hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed.

Tens of thousands of people? Who knew how many of them were infected with the T-virus! And once the defense line was breached, it would be difficult to re-establish it. 

The zombies in the quarantine zone would surely rush out. At this point, even Zhao Yi, despite his loyalty to Qin Jun, became anxious.

He said to Qin Jun, “Young Master, the situation is out of control. You must go to the airport and leave Jiangjing immediately!”

He had decided that if Qin Jun still didn’t agree, he would send people to forcibly take him to the plane.

Offending Qin Jun had serious consequences, but if anything happened to Qin Jun, the consequences would be even worse. His entire family would be buried with him!

Qin Jun frowned upon hearing this. Although he had awakened a psychic talent, it would take a few days to fully master this power.

If the defense line was breached, it would indeed be dangerous for him, but to give up the SSS-grade talent seed? No!

A ruthless glint flashed in Qin Jun’s eyes as he coldly said to Zhao Yi, “Commander Zhao, blow up the Jiangbei Bridge!”

“What!?” Even Zhao Yi was almost stunned.

The Jiangbei Bridge was practically the only way out of the quarantine zone, and it was packed with hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of ordinary people.

Blowing up the Jiangbei Bridge would mean sending those people to their deaths!
