Chapter 789: Full Ability Superpower User
Chapter 789: Chapter 789: Full Ability Superpower User
"No worries."
Bai Xiqin’s gaze lingered on Captain Zhang for a moment, her eyes slightly surprised.
The last time she saw Captain Zhang, he looked about thirty-something, exuding a mature and steady aura.
Looking at him now, his face appeared younger, making him look more like a peer to Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai.
As his superpower grew stronger, his appearance changed accordingly. Captain Zhang’s superpower was noticeably stronger than during their last meeting.
"As long as you’re okay."
Captain Zhang’s lips curved slightly, his gaze falling on the group of slightly wilted fly-catching leaves in the distance.
At the moment Captain Zhang looked at them, the group of fly-catching leaves quickly retreated a bit.
An almost imperceptible ripple spread from Captain Zhang to the group of fly-catching leaves.
The weeds on the ground danced in the wind, with some dead branches and leaves being swept up by an inexplicable force, flying high.
The Wind Blade, wielded only by Wind Ability Users, kills silently.
Thud, thud—
Heavy objects made a noise as they hit the ground.
The fly-catching leaves growing on the stems, which should have been fluttering in the air, suddenly fell straight to the ground like kites with broken strings.
Black and green fluids burst forth.
The expected strong stench didn’t appear; an invisible wind blew in just in time, carrying the stench away from the group.
In the blink of an eye, the dense mass of fly-catching leaves turned into a pile of black and green goo on the ground, with not a single fly-catching leaf left floating in the air.
Decisive and efficient.
Unsure if it was an illusion, even the vitality of the surrounding plants seemed to dim considerably.
The Wind Blade mercilessly severed the vitality of the flytraps, intimidating the mutated plants.
"Xiao Zhang is still the best!" Zhong Beihai rubbed his chin, smiling, "Weren’t you at sea? Why did you come over suddenly?"
Zhong Beihai originally thought that even with six strong individuals, they might not find the special mutated plants.
With Captain Zhang’s arrival, Zhong Beihai immediately felt the situation was secure.
Even if he did nothing while lying down and the six strong individuals all got their legs broken, they could quickly find the mutated plants under Captain Zhang’s leadership and return safely to the Alliance.
"Things have quieted down a lot there, and thinking you might not be safe here, I couldn’t rest easy, so I came over."
Captain Zhang adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, with bright light reflecting from the lenses.
His fair, slender fingers paired with the gold-rimmed glasses gave him an even more cultured look.
His gaze lacked the warmth and sunshine of Zhang Yiming’s, instead carrying a hint of ferocity, overly resolute.
There was a sense of a refined villain.
Everyone who met him felt, Captain Zhang was no villain; he had the aura, but not the character.
If he were, humanity would have directly faced extinction.
"Didn’t expect that at my age, I’d have Xiao Zhang so concerned about me!"
Zhong Beihai instantly became self-absorbed, tears of excitement gleaming in his eyes.
He was closest with Captain Zhang, and Captain Zhang surely was worried about him!
True feelings still exist in this world!
Captain Zhang lowered his head and smiled, remaining silent, but his eyes lingered momentarily on Bai Xiqin.
This girl before him was connected to the future of the world.
He could barely count how many superpowers he had; calling it a Full Ability Superpower wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
The one he cared about most was his ability to foresee the future.
He had seen several possible futures for the world, each significantly related to this girl.
If she existed, a cure for the zombie virus would be developed, achieving a visible balance between humans and zombies.
If she didn’t...
Captain Zhang’s eyes flashed with a heavy expression. With his strength, he could move unopposed on land. For humanity’s future, he traveled to every country on Earth, establishing the Human Survivor Alliance.
Even so, the futures he saw were all connected to this girl.
Zhang Yiming, a member of the Bai Family.
In the futures he saw, the outcome they could create together seemed most perfect, preserving human civilization most completely.
As powerful as he was, he couldn’t defy the elusive fate.
Captain Zhang lost himself for a moment, his gaze unknowingly lingering again on Bai Xiqin, memories of the futures he had seen flashing through his mind.
Like a revolving lantern.
Bai Xiqin sensed Captain Zhang’s gaze, his gaze devoid of any emotion, only pure distraction.
When someone is lost in important thoughts, what they see becomes irrelevant as the visions in their mind occupy all their thoughts.
Leng Yebai furrowed his brows, stood in front of Bai Xiqin, and held her hand.
The Base Commander stood in front of Leng Yebai.
Since Captain Zhang arrived, his gaze hadn’t left Xiao Niu; was he trying to take his daughter-in-law?
The Base Commander ground his teeth in frustration, vowing to become stronger.
Just wait, once his superpower improved, he would give Captain Zhang a good beating!
"Ahem, Captain Zhang? Isn’t it time to go?"
Zhong Beihai lightly coughed, truly seeing Captain Zhang lost in thought for the first time.
Perhaps he had fallen for the girl at first sight?
But the girl was only in her twenties.
Captain Zhang was nearing forty.
Even though he looked about the same age as the girl—if Captain Zhang had worked a bit harder when he was young, he could have a daughter Bai Xiqin’s age.
"Alright."
Captain Zhang snapped out of it, turning to walk in a direction.
No one saw the fleeting sadness in his eyes as he turned.
With great power comes great responsibility.
The burden on his shoulders was terribly heavy, but he couldn’t avoid bearing it, sometimes weighing him down so much he could scarcely breathe.
"Sis, do you know Captain Zhang?"
Bai Yifan ran to Bai Xiqin’s side, whispering to her.
His voice was low, but almost everyone present was a High Rank Superpower User.
Except for ninety-something Zhong Beihai who couldn’t hear.
"I met him once at the Yunhua Safety Base."
Bai Xiqin spoke honestly.
She remembered the name but couldn’t recall if they truly knew each other.
"But why do I feel like he knows you, and our whole family?"
Bai Yifan scratched his head, watching Captain Zhang’s back, feeling it strangely familiar.
Yet he couldn’t remember.
Bai Xiqin paused slightly; if Bai Yifan felt this way, then their family must know Captain Zhang.
But where they met was unknown.
In this world, every day they brushed past countless people and zombies.
Maybe Captain Zhang had brushed past the Bai Family once, with familiar faces, but they couldn’t recall.
"Whoa!"
Bai Yifan suddenly exclaimed.
Bai Xiqin looked up to see the scattered fly-catching leaves rise into the air, neatly stacked on both sides, not blocking the path.
Control Ability!
With Control Ability, Bai Xiqin was most familiar with this maneuver, even able to see the energy waves emitted by Captain Zhang as he controlled the fly-catching leaves.
Wind Ability, Control Ability, and the ability to foresee the future.
Bai Xiqin’s intuition told her the abilities Captain Zhang showed were just the tip of the iceberg.
Captain Zhang was incredibly powerful, on par with legendary gods.
From his aura alone, he was the strongest Superpower User Bai Xiqin had seen in all her lives.
Captain Zhang was undoubtedly stronger than Zhang Yiming.
Why—on the timeline she once lived in, did humanity’s survivor status remain at its lowest point, never gaining strength?
